Bradley(texting in bed at 2am): Hey, how do you think lizards can hear things if they don't have ears?...Wait, DO they have ears? Hangman(texting back): I'm literally lying right next to you, why are you texting me?

What Jake buys after he and Bradley have their first kid(s):

It was for Jake to wear but he obviously doesn't mind if Bradley borrows it 👀

[indybob]

so the top gun fandom is kind of...dying. i mean i haven't posted anything on ao3 in two weeks which feels like an eternity but i promise i'm still here. i post a lot of shit on tumblr which is why i use my side blog more these days (@ethantalkstoomuch if you're interested if the complete rubbish i say sometimes)

but if theres anyone thinking of leaving the fandom as it's not as active, i promise you the people that are still here are exceptional and content is (to my understanding) still being made

I mean…I can’t speak for the rest of the fandom, but that sounds like something I’d like to read!!👀

i have something to admit that i'm not proud of...

i genuinely can't write hangster😭😭 like i've tried so many times. SO MANY TIMES!! i always get the a few thousand words in and then all my motivation just falls of. i'm seriously trying to finish a story about them, even a one shot! but i just can't do it!!

and i know i shouldn't force myself but it'd be nice to write LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN ICEMAV

[indybob]

a few sketches of my favorite characters<3

i've been trying to capture their likeness with some degree of success:) and i just realized how much rooster really looks like goose

Reblogging to keep spreading the word!!

Hello everybody and welcome to the Top Gun Fake Dating Summer Secret Santa Fic Exchange!

We are thrilled to announce this and hope you’re all as excited as we are to get this in the air. 

The theme for this exchange is fake dating! All participants will fill out the sign up form with three prompts or ideas relating to this theme with corresponding characters they’d like to see in each scenario. Each participant will be matched with another participant, and must write a fic with a minimum word count of 1,000 words. The fic must highlight at least one of the fake dating prompts they’ve received and must center around at least one character from the Top Gun universe.

As this is a fic exchange formatted like a secret santa, it’s important to keep who you’re writing for a secret! We want everyone to be surprised when they receive their gift, so it’s best to keep it under wraps. If you would like to use a beta, we’d recommend reaching out to someone who isn’t involved within the fic exchange. 

Sign ups for the exchange will begin April 20th and close April 27th, the prompts will be distributed April 28th. The deadline to finish your fic is July 4th. Due to the nature of the fest it’s important to adhere to this deadline, however if you require an extension please email the mod team at tg2024exchange@gmail.com (please include "TG Fic Exchange Extension/Change Request" in the subject line if possible).

Jake, internally: How’d he know I was gonna say ‘hissy fit?’

something i believe to be cannon:

Jake: Can you calm down? You're throwing a...

Bradley: Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm throwing a hissy fit, spare it.

Jake: ... A tantrum. You're throwing a tantrum. I'm not that Texan, goddamit.

Me? Rewatching Top Gun Maverick for some Hangster fic writing inspiration? It’s more likely than you think!!

[indybob]

Yes, exactly!! And it might look a little something like this:

Hungover Jake vs. Hungover Bradley

Jake’s hangovers aren’t too bad but whenever Bradley drinks too much, he wakes up looking like he was struck by lightning

(The way he is sitting is so slutty and he freaking know's it)
