Ice: So?

Maverick: So, i asked what that meant and he said 'it means you have nice fucking tiddies captain'.

Ice, resigned: Welp......guess im making our son a widow. Shame, Baby goose really liked him.

locker room behavior

based on this photoshoot

[lupuslikethewolf]

in honour of being promoted to Deputy Stage Manager in my school's theatre department, top gun high school/sixth form au:

Dr Kazansky rules the drama department with an iron fist. always wearing black turtlenecks. never seen without his glasses, his coffee, and his terrifying glare (which earned him the moniker Dr Iceman). do not show up to rehearsals if you don't know your lines. death be upon the poor students who fuck around during tech and dress, because they will find out. he loves the crew tho.

Mr Call-Me-Mav Mitchell is the head of sports. you name it, he's played it, and he could absolutely give you pointers, also, do you want a protein bar with that? it's chocolate flavoured :) even the kids who Hate (capital H) sports love him. he is sunshine and adrenaline in human form. endless energy. no one knows why he is called maverick, but even the principal does it, so.

Mr Kerner is the principal. he is also the only person who can interrupt rehearsals and survive. dr kazansky loves him. inexplicably, maverick hates him. nough said.

Jake Seresin is the school's golden child, not even because he's Kazansky's nephew. he’s head boy. he’s on the school’s football/rugby team. he writes regular articles for the internal magazines. and this year, he’s playing Orpheus in the school’s production of Hadestown. everyone thinks it’s nepotism. it is and it’s not, jake just lost a bet to his Uncle Tom, and must now reap the consequences to said uncle’s delight.

Bradley Bradshaw has been stage crew since he was thirteen and an overworked runner, thank you very much. it’s his final show, he’s the DSM, and if fucking seresin ruins this for him, he will riot. dr kazansky should never let that happen. however, this is the same man who, last year, laughed when revealing that a screen on stage had turned off and bradley had to go on stage during the show to fix it. hm. maybe bradley should have re-thought his life choices. also: the turntable. the goddamn turntable.

other characters include: phoenix as eurydice, bob doing lighting, payback and fanboy as ASMs who flirt over the comms to everyones misery, cyclone as another drama teacher/stage manager,

maverick keeps turning up to rehearsals and trying to help because his favourite (cough only cough) godson and his favourite player are both interested in this stuff, so he should at least try, right? kazansky hates it until he doesn’t. kerner thinks it’s all fucking hilarious. bradley is embarrassed but its kinda endearing do NOT tell him i said that.

kazansky and maverick both bare witness to A Moment between their respective pseudo sons and decide the two simply must get together for their sakes and also so they never inflict that on another person ever.

bradley and jake both bare witness to A Moment between their respective pseudo fathers and decide the two simply must get together for their sakes and also so they never inflict that on another person ever.

kerner is cackling. Cackling.

Val Kilmer filming footage using his personal camera on the set of Top Gun (1986)

Mav is the type of person who, after turning 40, starts responding to everyone younger than him with phrases like "Yeah, when I was younger, it wasn't done like that," "during my times, you," or "kid, after all the life I lived." To which Ice swiftly responds with something like to a christ's sake: "Your times? "Do you mean last week?"

[kcsplace]

Danny Kaffee might be the lawyer cousin of Mav's that gets him out of the legal trouble Ice can't stop him getting into, but Chris Knight is the cousin of Tom's that creates half the super secret nonsense in the super secret planes that Mav is not-so-secretly the test pilot of at Skunk Works. who do you think invented the laser Bob used in the mission??? one Christopher "no i won't get a haircut, Tom, quit asking" Knight

Ice has spent decades trying to ensure the two never meet despite how Mav thinks it'd be hilarious. Then he gets sick. Of course family will visit. His and his husband's. It just figures Ice has to be bedbound and unable to leave when the two visit at the same time.

You're all wrong.

THEY'RE THE REAL KEN AND BARBIE.

Hangman says weird shit when he gets nervous

As in, he overshares when he gets nervous and isn’t sure what to say, sometimes it’s just trauma dumping and sometimes it’s sexual and sometimes it’s just… idk weird

He usually has it under control, the pressure of his job is not the thing that gets him, it’s the stress of his life outside of work

—

Example 1:

Ice: nice to meet you, Jake

Hangman: pleasure’s all mine sir, you have a beautiful house, you know, I used to live in a house just like this before my dad kicked me out and disowned me

Ice:

Hangman: sorry

—

Example 2:

Coyote: so?

Hangman: so what?

Coyote: did you tell him?

Hangman: I told him that I can’t stand him and that I want to **** his **** and then have him **** me until I can’t breath and hopefully until he can’t speak

Coyote:

Coyote: instead of… I love you?

Hangman: I got nervous ._.

—

Example 3:

Rooster: are you sure you’re ok?

Hangman: of course, it’s just a funeral, haven’t even seen the man in more than a decade

Rooster: yeah but he’s still your dad, you’re allowed to be upset

Hangman: hmm

Hangman: hey, did you know that like 1% of people get buried alive?

Rooster: I didn’t know that

Rooster: ready to go?

Hangman, taking his hand: hopefully he won’t wake up mid ceremony

mav, shaking his head sadly: I wish it didn’t have to be this way

ice, raising an eyebrow: it doesn’t

mav, sniffing and wiping away a tear: I’ll miss you, babe

ice, leaning closer, eyes narrowed: not unless I win

mav, freezing mid-sob: don’t you dare

ice, smirking: oh, I do dare

*cue intense homoerotic staring*

goose, rolling his eyes, and “accidentally” flipping the monopoly board over because he’s been there for hours, dammit: whoops

Slider and Iceman fist bump after their flights.

Hollywood gives Wolfman a fist bump after their flights but Wolfman always responds with an open palm shouting “Turkey!” because they’re flying the turkey.

Maverick and Goose high five after their flights because they can never agree coordinate who’s the head and who’s the tail of the turkey.

What better way to celebrate Val's birthday than watching a couple of my top favorite Val movies and working on a couple of my Icemav wips
