Iceman, Slider, Cougar, and Goose wear rings that show they are graduates of the United States Naval Academy, supported by their dialogue in the film and the ornate rings they wear throughout the film. I know Goose is married, but that ring is far too large to be just a wedding band. (I promise this isn't an info dump... not like my others anyway)

The USNA is an undergraduate college that is a combination of academics and military development programs. Based on the current list of majors available at the United States Naval Academy, I think that Iceman, Slider, Cougar, and Goose likely would have chosen one of the following majors: Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, General Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Chemistry, or Mathematics, but they could have gotten a degree in something like English, Foreign Area Studies, Political Studies, History, etc. Again, these are based on the list of current majors offered, so take that with a grain of salt, but I still feel like it’s possible that a majority of these were offered in the late 1970s and early 1980s. 

In my mind, I can see Iceman being a bit of an overachiever. He would major in Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Political Science while playing on some Varsity sports team (he’s too cool not to be in). Maybe something like Lacrosse or Swimming and Diving, but regardless I can totally see Ice and Slider meeting by being in the same sport. And swimming definitely fits their vibes ngl. But also Slider could def be a true American football player and if Ice plays lacrosse (which is a spring sport) they could go to each other's games. I’m not sure if they had Men’s Club Volleyball when they would have attended like they do now, but I’m sure they would have made time to play when able. A lot of people headcanon Ice as being Russian, which makes sense because his last name is Russian in origin, but regardless of that fact I feel like he would have participated in the Naval Academy Foreign Affairs Conference. An excellent resume builder and an asset for an aspiring admiral, the NAFAC is a conference hosted by the USNA in which students from around the US come together to discuss a theme from current global affairs.

work in progress tag game! imma go with bust up something beautiful. <3

'bust up something beautiful' aka the Stanford threesome story. fast-forwarding to the post threesome fight + a sample of what my WIPs actually look like for a good portion of their life cycle:

(They just had a locker-room 3way and Tashi sent them home together because she can't just bring 2 boys back to her dorm in week 1)

ART: How'd you get to campus, didn't you have a car?

Patrick: yeah, it's fine (gestures vaguely)

Art: You're gonna get a ticket.

Patrick: Oh no not the Stanford campus police.

Art: They'll run your plate and send it to collections.

Patrick: It's a rental, they can bill Enterprise.

They get back to the dorm, Art says, "My roommate's on the road for lacrosse, he said I could use his bed for guests as long as I wash the sheets."

Patrick: Don't be dumb. (Climbs in bed with him)

Art wakes up before dawn, Patrick is on Art's computer.  He just bought a return flight.  Says, "You get your beauty sleep," kisses him good bye but just on the forehead.

Art: You're going to see Tashi first? No, I'm not mad.  Go see Tashi, I can catch up with her any time.

An hour later, Art's phone rings: 'So can you drive me to San Jose?:

Rental car got towed.  Tashi's not picking up.

The drive to the airport is more time for delicate conversations.

Art goes in thinking, "It's fine, we can keep it light."

Patrick: You know I've sucked dicks before.

Art: yeah we lived together for six years, you're not exactly good at discretion.

Art: I'm not gay.

Patrick: Did you need to get my cock ALL THE WAY to the back of your throat to figure that out?

Art: I don't mean I didn't like it.  I mean I'm not just, pretending to be straight or whatever.

Patrick: Jesus, Art, I just told you . . . you didn't invent going both ways, this isn't a mind-blowing new concept for me

Art: WHY ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THIS, NONE OF THIS MATTERS, YOU'RE LEAVING

Patrick: I'm going to my JOB and you're going to COLLEGE which was YOUR DECISION why are you such a fucking child?

Ooooh prompt ideaa yess!!

“What could you possibly be this stressed about?”

Nico to Jack when Jack is spiralling because a few days ago Nico just off handedly mentioned Jack coming to Switzerland to meet his family for the first time and Jack goes full on ‘what if they don’t like me?’

arrrgh cute omg I'm shifting this to an au where they're pretty seriously dating but Jack isn't an NHL player/plays a different sport, so he's just never met Nico's family when they visited for Devils events.

8. “What could you possibly be this stressed about?” 

After the third time Jack's gotten up to fiddle with something (remaking his coffee, changing his sweater, staring out the window) instead of cuddling with Nico on the couch, Nico finally caves and points it out.

"Hey--is something wrong?"

Jack literally jumps. Nico narrows his eyes.

"Nothing. Why do you ask?"

Nico looks pointedly down at the Nature Valley bar wrapper Jack is currently twisting into a knot. His boyfriend makes a face, tosses it aside, and gets up, pacing around the coffee table and the couch. Nico watches him go, patient, taking in his messy curls (Nico loves running his fingers through them) and the #13 t-shirt he's commandeered (Nico loves seeing Jack wear his shirts)

"You said that we should go visit your family in Switzerland this summer," Jack finally says in a rush. Nico waits for the next part--then frowns and sits up when Jack doesn't continue. He doesn't understand; the way Jack said that, Nico would've thought something terrible was going to happen.

"Yes? I always go back in the off season, I figured it would be nice if you came with me and met them, if you had the time." Jack sputters, wide-eyed, and Nico feels like he's strongly missing context now. "Baby, what--I don't get it. What could you possibly be this stressed about?"

"What if they don't like me?!"

The confession bursts out of Jack like a gunshot, and now the two of them are staring at each other from across the living room like two...well, Nico doesn't know what. Two people that managed to stun each other stupid?

"What--what do you mean? Why wouldn't they like you?"

Jack sputters again, cheeks red, and gestures inarticulately at nothing. "I dunno--what if I don't make a good first impression? What if I say the wrong thing? What if they think I'm too stereotypically American? What if they don't think I'm good enough for you? What--"

"Alrighty," Nico says, levering himself off the couch so he could get all up in Jack's space; pulling him into a hug, the best, tightest, hiccup-inducing kind that makes Jack complain about getting squished like a grape (not that he doesn't secretly like it.)

"You're thinking of all these what ifs. But you know what? Ever since I floated the idea to my family about hosting you, my mom's been texting me non-stop asking about your favourite foods, what you like to eat, if you're allergic to anything. My dad's been asking if you're into football, if you'd like to watch a game with him sometime. Luca's already planning a drinks night and Nina wants to take us all to the beach. They're so excited to meet you, because they all know I'm head over heels for you. But--if you're not ready yet, I don't want to push--"

"No, no," Jack says hastily, his voice muffled against Nico's shoulder, his hands clinging to Nico's shirt. "I do want to meet your family, I just. I like you so fuckin' much, Neeks. I'm just nervous. I don't want to screw anything up."

"You won't," Nico promises. "They're gonna love you, Jack. I know they will."

FIC!!! DAY!!

Auradon Prep is built on the bones of a castle. One that was intended to house a city in times of need.

The hallways of the outer courtyard are built to accommodate horses, and they’re more than big enough for two groups of students to pass through without running into each other.

One of the lacrosse boys pulls his bag back up his shoulder. His heavy, overstuffed gear bag. Which he just used to hit Evie.

“Get out of the way, evils,” he sneers. “Can’t you tell when your betters are coming through?”

“I can tell that you’re not one of them,” Evie snaps. “You would do well to keep your mouth shut next time, and keep your filthy equipment to yourself.”

The boy stops walking. “Make me.”

From there, it's basically fight-on-sight.

Teen Wolf 1x01 "Pilot" + first time in goal

[silverstonesainz]

NO BECAUSE WHY DO WE HAVE THE SAME THOUGHTS OF MAX PLAYING LACROSSE?? like can you please develop that theory more because i have the same thoughts and need to know more! also maybe will be sending in more ideas because girly pop got THOUGHTS running through her mind now

i cannot lie, my knowledge of lacrosse is whatever teen wolf gave, so i WISH i could elaborate more in a very technically accurate way BUT i think that him and daniel would have amazing chemistry on the field. like almost stiles x scott vibes, but broodier (if that makes sense). i keep picturing that clip from dts of daniel looking back post baku (u know???) and i just have this vivid imagination of daniel pulling off his helmet, looking back an opponent over some shit play, and max is grabbing him by the shoulders and shaking him out of it.

and i think max is just as easy to anger, plays rather aggressively but he's also very precise. when you see how he is in f1, you just have to consider that he plays to win and will do everything he can to perfect his plays. and i think he bothers daniel SO MUCH to practice with him and help him play.

One thing that’s pretty cool is finding out that everyone in your grade hates a guy who you’ve hated for the past 13 years
