icemav is so cat x dog coded in the way that Mav is a white cat and Ice is a pitbull

Bradley: anyone know any good books that make you cry? Ice: Mav's medical records

Poor Slider, caught in the intricacies of his best friend's Weird Ass (but somehow also strangely wholesome??) Relationship 😌 he's sort of dreading to have to like, reluctantly make sure Mav is actually enjoying this shit. (He does. Slider is glad he made sure because now he can wash his hands of it and pretend he has no idea what weird shit his pilot gets up to with his annoying small fry bf)

Text that I cut off:

Slider: Ice.

Ice: Hm?

S: Here. For you. (Hands him a muzzle)

I: ...WTF, Slider!!

S: *turns Ice's head to look at Mav*

S: You know what that's called, Ice?

I: ...okay, you know what-

S: OVERKILL, ICE. Goddamn. Honestly, it was this or a stake and garlic-

I: oKAY, Slider!!

Bradley: what's ur most cherished memory? Mav: [looks at Ice with a loving smile] Mav: I saw a raccoon do a handstand once

Maverick: Not to worry. I have a permit

Cyclone: This just says, "Captain Maverick can do what he wants" with the COMPACFLT signature

ok I’m currently back on my top gun shit and this is very important to me: people are always like ohh ice loves hangman and YES he WOULD but NOT bc hangman is ice’s parallel. Because hangman is MAVS parallel. Like— hangman and rooster are def parallels of Mac and ice but people tend to get it switched around and it rly annoys me like ice would HATE hangman if he didn’t ultimately have a ton of power over him😭 but ice is double his age so instead he’s like awww. Look at that fumbling idiot toddler. Reminds me of my husband.

talk to me, dad

[frozen-seagrass]

why does everyone make iceman the normal one, bros a freak too. man was out here air biting dudes in locker rooms and having weird homo rivalries, that should be taken into account when thinking about him

Fly High, Val

there's been a lot on my mind since i heard the news about val kilmer's passing. i've been reflecting, overthinking, being stuck in nostalgia. it's the first time in my life where i've genuinely cried after hearing a celebrity pass away, i'm not one for parasocial relationships. but well, that's what legends do to you, i guess.

i can't say enough how much top gun and tg:m have impacted my life. genuinely. i am not who i am now without it. all that is thanks to mr. kilmer. his potrayal of iceman is memorable, genuine, and incredible in it of itself. his way of bringing a character that barely has anything as a source into something that feels sincere is a mark of a great talent. like many others, top gun has changed my life in ways only art can. it's amazing what effect the desire to create does to people. val simply wanted to make art, and in doing so he left behind a great legacy.

as i've grown older, the prospect of death scares me more and more. val kilmer's death just feel like a sucker punch to my gut when i heard it (through a tumblr post nonetheless). i remembered i just felt like nothing was real. i knew he had been sick, i knew he was old, i know people die. i just never thought about the day he would. in my mind he's kinda always been invincible.

like many of you, i've chosen to ignore iceman's death. i mean, characters live on forever, right? i just think it's an even bigger sucker punch now that his death aligned with that in the movie. i'm probably gonna be sad every time i watch iceman's funeral scene from now on.

i kinda wished i could meet him once, just to say how much of an impact he's had on everybody's life. seeing everyone's responses to his death was comforting, telling me that i'm not alone in feeling this way. i'm glad i get to be reminded about the beauty of human connection every now and then, it truly is what makes life worth living.

this drawing wasn't the first one i did. i actually did another thing, but i don't know. the emotions wasn't there enough. with this drawing i just...let my hands feel. i'm sort of surprised by how it came out actually. i don't think i've ever done this kind of lighting before. he kinda looks like a statue, frozen in time.

anyway, i just wanted to leave a little something for me to remember this moment, this feeling. it's bittersweet--more bitter than sweet now. but i want to look back to this post and think about the sweeter things. time will soothe the wounds.

thank you for everything, mr. kilmer. hope you rest easy now<3
