“That’s my boy,” Tom murmurs softly, gently running his fingers through Pete’s hair while Pete gasps for a full breath from where his cheek is pressed against Tom's chest.

big dick energy + icemav

staring contest

[shit-sorry-fuck-mybad]

Ice cheats at literally every board game and it drives Mav crazy

He’s just so good at it, no one ever notices except Mav because he’s paying attention only to Ice to catch him, and he still fails most of the time

No one expects Iceman Kazansky to cheat at anything, which just makes Mav angrier because no one fucking believes him

And Ice just sits back and looks at him as he slowly descends to madness

[pollyna]

Ice moving in with Mav without really realising it until one day he wakes up, goes to brush his teeth and discovers that a) he doesn't have anymore toothbrushes in his house and b) his house is basically empty because all his stuff is at Mav's.

He laughs for a good minute before calling the man to let him know he's coming over to brush his teeth and probably won't move out of there for the next five to twenty-five years. Mav laughs and promises breakfast will be ready for when he arrives.

so are we all in agreement that mav unknowingly is the one who first initiated the relationship by always feeling the urge to annoy and be as close to ice at all times and then acting on those urges by again, unknowingly flirting with ice, and ice - oblivious to this - tries to annoy mav back and this goes on for a couple of weeks, months even, and each encounter gets a little more romantic and intimate and everyone BUT ice and mav sees this and eventually slider brings it up to ice and goose brings it up to mav that they are in fact flirting with each other which makes the both of them suddenly too aware of their previous encounters and they start to overthink - this then leads to their next encounter and the both of them still annoy the hell out of one another but now ice seems to notice for the first time, the blush on mav’s face after he replies sarcastically back to mav’s witty comment or how mav suddenly realises that ice gets just a little too close to him to be considered normal whenever they’re together

[torchflies]

Me, sobbing as I imagine an AU where Rooster runs away at seventeen, once he finds out that Mav, Slider and Ice pulled his papers.  

Where Rooster meets a girl who treats him like shit, so desperate to be loved that he puts up with it, and then — there's a baby. 

A baby boy that Rooster spends over twenty-two years raising all by himself after she leaves them, begging for help from the baby’s maternal grandparents because he has no other option. 

A perfect little boy that makes Bradley understand everything that Mav, Ice and Sli gave up to raise him, after his Mom died when he was little. He forgives them somewhere between his little boy’s first day of kindergarten and the first time his baby looks up at a jet plane and says “I wanna fly too, Daddy!”

His baby boy, who grows like a weed and then there's NROTC, college in two years flat and his little smarty pants graduates Top Gun the youngest ever — as a wizzo. His baby boy is a Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) and gets the callsign Kiwi for his big green eyes and love of the damn things. Bradley spends hours laughing his ass off, the minute he realizes a Kiwi is also a little fluffy bird. 

I need this AU so much, you don't understand. 

I need them to pull Bradley’s baby boy for the Dagger mission as a spare wizzo. 

Because you know who is going to have to demonstrate the same techniques in a F-18 single and double seater? Mav. 

You know who isn't prepared to get a backseater for the first time in decades? Mav. 

Especially not one named Nicky Bradshaw. 

[beezelarts]

I was thinking about which types of birds the Daggers would be.

Here's what I came up with:

Mav: Peregrine falcon (fastest animal on earth)

Iceman: Albatross (idk why, honestly)

Rooster: Rhode Island red rooster (obviously)

Hangman: Bald eagle (because something something USA something something)

Phoenix: Phoenix, duh (I know that they don't exist, but idc)

Bob: Feral pigeon (sounds lame but they can actually outfly falcons and other kinds of birds on level flight, and I love them)

I haven't come up with birds for the others yet, so if you have suggestions, feel free to reblog/comment.

Totally 100% True Top Gun Facts Pt. 3

By-the-book Admiral Tom Kazansky has frequently asked his minuscule hellion of a wingman to rain judgement upon those who’ve annoyed him.

Soon enough, people start to catch on that pissing off the Iceman results in an unfortunate assignment with the Navy’s equivalent of a live grenade filled with silly string.

thinking about twink maverick and wondering how people think he’s a twink. genuinely. I look at these images and see, while yes a short man, a man who is also muscular and probably weighs a ton in pure muscle

If he’s a twink then everyone in that movie is a twink. and i dont think that’s correct.

According to wikipedia, this is what they say twinks are:

So let’s break this down.

1. Late teens to twenties

Sure. Maverick is in his twenties. But only looking at age would technically make me a twink so whatever. Let’s move on.

2. Slim to average physique

Maverick does not have an average physique. That man is built. He is in peak physical condition. He doesnt just sometimes work out, he is actively working out. Look at his arms! His trapezius! Those muscles are clearly developed and strong! In certain uniforms, his waist appears smaller, but that’s what the flight suit does to all silhouettes. Maverick is built like a brick, yes with hips, but he’s not little. He’s short of course, but he’s not small. He’s not lithe, he is muscular, he is BUILT! Look at the left bottom picture. Look at how rectangular. Look at how NOT lithe he is. Look at how not skinny he is. Like come on now.

3. Youthful/feminine appearance

While he is extremely youthful looking as Tom Cruise always appears, i disagree that tom cruise/maverick in Top Gun looks feminine. But that’s not to say that tom cruise has never appeared feminine or twink-like in any way. Legend (1985) is an example of his twink and feminine abilities. But for maverick i would argue that he looks very masculine. Boyish, which some argue is another visual feature for twinks, but not feminine (in my humble opinion).

4. Little to no body hair

To think that maverick has no body hair is just maverick unibrow erasure and i wont stand for it. But seriously. While tom cruise was waxed and oiled up for top gun, this is also happy trail erasure. I will now provide proof.

One of them is from mission impossible but um idc. It’s proof that Maverick HAS body hair, both around his chest and in … lower areas… but Maverick is not hairless enough to be a twink, especially because he doesnt fall into the other necessary categories to excuse/ignore his body hair.

5. (Kind of a half point because not all definitions and understandings of the word twink align with this) but it seems a lot of modern connotations of the word twink are parallel to exclusively bottoming

See here the most popular definition of the word twink on urban dictionary. I dont think that Maverick exclusively bottoms. Maverick FUCKS too. Like it’s not just Ice doing the fucking. Like Mav fucks. He fucks, guys you dont understand he fucks.

Therefore, Maverick, in my opinion, is not a twink. He is Maverick. The end.

Ice, in the hospital: Can I have anything to drink, doc? Doctor: Ice chips. Mav: I'll get them! Slider: No, I'll get them! Mav, pushing Slider out of the door: Out of the way! Slider, pushing Mav back: No, you get out of the way! Bradley, entering the room right after: Hey, Uncle Ice! Got you some ice chips.

[maverices]

anybody else ever think about mav sending ice off with the wings ice has given to him, again and again and again over the course of decades, or is it just me

[polar-equinoxx]

Having some thoughts about Mav having a bad nightmare for the first time in years and it taking Ice a long while to help calm him down and bring him back to reality

*extremely tired writer voice* this was supposed to be a short gen fic but now they're horny

y’all ever think about mav and ice (maybe wolf and hollywood too) thinking about queen and freddie mercury and hearing of his death and wondering if the price they pay for staying hidden is the one thing that kept them from the same fate. if they hadn’t been in the navy, had slept around more, had the freedom to be a little reckless if they would have ended up like the star across the pond. the man they all secretly admired. queen isnt mav’s type of music, not all of it. he envies the bands stardom in a strange way. but wolf, diehard fan on the inside, scared of being questioned for his love of the english band. who tried to get tickets to maddison square in 1982. ice who wonders what it is like to stand up on a stage and be so flamboyant, to call the crowds darling and sing with david bowie.

and then one day, in late autumn, the singer is dead. pneumonia. people talk about it dispassionately, some with malice . that queer singer from england. dead from the gay plague.

mav reads the paper twenty years on, 20 years since freddie mercury died, and wonders which fate he would prefer. to live in such secret, yet live, or die so authentically that maybe the media might drag you through the mud, but they cannot deny who you are either.

rewatched TG:M all the way through for the first time in a couple months, and god. hans zimmer did not have to put everything he owned into that singular swell. and neither did literally everyone else.

maverick: terrified and alone, realizing his son basically just blew up in front of him

cyclone warlock and hondo: different levels of hopelessness, expediting the mourning process so they can continue with the mission

hangman: physically stops breathing. can’t focus. he has to hyperventilate to get oxygen back in his body. all he’s thinking about is bradley seven summers ago, when they were still okay. and now he’s never going to be able to apologize for everything. it’s his fault. he’s the better pilot, everyone knows it, but bradley had the winning hand, the ace in the hole. so he should’ve tried harder with maverick, not picked as many fights, flown better, flown faster, fought harder, been different, done everything different. you can physically pinpoint something inside himself dying alongside bradley.
