I do not post AI Thunderbirds art, I don’t allow it on my Thunderbirds public Facebook page because it is stealing. All the fanart posted below, is my own work that I have edited and worked on and not used Ai in any way.

Don’t be a baby and block without asking, I am not afraid to be asked if this is AI because I will reply no.

The first is from a hot scowling Virgil...

The 2nd from the adorable pouting Gordon...

Cheeky cockatoos stealing apples!

Ok these guys have nothing to do with Thunderbirds, but the picture is mine and I wanted to give you all something that might make you smile.

Being new here I’m still finding my feet, figuring out where I fit and how everything works.  One thing I do know is this fandom is full of wonderfully kind and generous people.  There is always encouragement and support for those who create and share (art, fics, screnshots, gifs . . . ), and for those brave enough to speak up and say they are having a hard time with RL.

(I am not good at speaking up when I am feeling low and generally struggling with stuff - I just muddle my way through it.  I know half the things that get me down the most are fixable, but changing the things I need to seems so overwhelming I just keep repeating the cycle.  But I digress - you people are brave and magnificent for speaking up, seeking help and advice, and taking steps forward.)

Sometimes I read your posts and want to offer encouragement or advice - and I’ll comment if I think it will help.  Sometimes I just can’t find the right words, but I still want to say something - so if I don’t comment it’s not because I don’t care, it might be because I just don’t want to say the wrong things. 

To anyone who needs it I offer virtual hugs and a reminder that I’m here because you led me here and have been willing to welcome me, which is awesome and I’m very grateful!  If there is ever anything I can do for any of you please ask.  If you want to vent I will listen, if you want to chat I’m up for that, if you want to know more about me please ask, if you want me to shut up just tell me! ;)

I have a jumble of more stuff I want to say that just won’t come out as words in sentences that make sense!  So I’ll leave this here.
