All aerial manoeuvres in Top Gun: Maverick (2022)
Highway to the Danger Zone! GOD is so funny.
HE knows, "I feel the need, the need for speed!"
If you watch this clip, it makes you think that is what we are supposed to be doing for one another—when C.S. Lewis was defeated by friendly fire, in apologetic, for petty reasons.
Philippians 2:3 [Berean] Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in CHRIST JESUS: WHO made HIMSELF nothing, taking the very nature of a Servant, being made in human likeness.
1 Corinthians 10:24 No one should seek his own good, but the good of others.
Romans 15:1 We who are strong ought to bear with the shortcomings of the weak and not to please ourselves.
Philippians 2:21 For all the others look after their own interests, not those of JESUS CHRIST.
Matthew 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in ME, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, & drowned in the depths of the Sea.
But also true on the war-front in 1918 WWI , and in both instances Lewis was irreparably damaged & discontinued from that specific arena.
Lewis was wounded in the back by “friendly fire”—shell fragments from a British barrage—that killed one of his best friends as well as his sergeant. Two fragments entered his left chest and fractured a rib. Lewis's war was over.
Thankfully GOD was guiding him through his own volition & natural inclinations, to write some of the coolest lines of logic I have ever read in my life. I actually own all his writing, but hadn't bothered to read it thinking I'd just start a collection of popular artists..
Thank you to all the people who have posted excerpts online or YT videos on why you love Lewis, I have heard your stories & made the purchase & now starting to dabble in reading it. A+++
Revvin' up your engine
Listen to her howlin' roar
Metal under tension
Beggin' you to touch and go
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone!!!!!
Headin' into twilight
Spreadin' out her wings tonight
She got you jumpin' off the deck
Shovin' into overdrive
Highway to the danger zone
I'll take you right into the danger zone
You'll never say hello to you
Until you get it on the red line overload
You'll never know what you can do
Until you get it up as high as you can go
Out along the edges
Always where I burn to be
The further on the edge
The hotter the intensity
Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take it right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Gonna take it right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
I'm gonna take it right into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
Ride into the danger zone
Highway to the danger zone
I'm gonna take you right into...

I just love the layer upon layer of jokes too!!!! Rooster vs Cobra
Rooster v. Cobra: Who Will Win? | Nat Geo Wild 170910
This is even funnier than I thought, check out the first line:
"A Rooster in India showed real pluck & defended its flock from a cobra." Seriously, I didn't know chickens ran in flocks..? This stuff writes itself when GOD is involved. LOL
Whoa! The Rooster ate the whole thing, what?! I thought chickens were herbivores, not a carnivore. Also, what are you Chicken?? Remember that taunt/joke, of making fun of someone's fears!!!
But how is that even possible, wouldn't it have to remove the venom pouch from the cobra & cook it a little before gulping it down. . . ?
Are Chickens Carnivores? While chickens are omnivores, you might wonder if they can lean more towards being carnivores. Chickens do enjoy hunting for insects, worms and other small creatures like I said above, but their diet is not limited to just meat. In fact, chickens need a balanced diet to stay healthy.
Look at the time stamp on that video, 2017 right around the time I asked GOD to help me not be suicidal / depressed.
This guy compares the chicken to the closest thing to a T-Rex!!?! And he even says at the end, you might want to think twice before calling your friend a chicken! Psalm 91, GOD is our mother hen giving us shade from the harsh conditions of the world. Taking down the animal kingdom, dominion over every creeping thing!!
This is really funny how this next video showed the Rooster taking down cattle/horse/cobra/eagle/dog!!! All these unlikely things..
Genesis 1:26-28 [KJV] And GOD said, Let US make man in our image, after OUR likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth. 27 So GOD created man in HIS OWN image, in the image of GOD created HE him; male and female created HE them.
28 And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the Sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth."

[ cw: death mention / violence mention / slight suicidal implications / self-worth issues / ]
I always think about Leo’s “I’m nothing without my brothers” and recently I’ve been particularly thinking about how that’s not…entirely inaccurate, when put against the fact that without his brothers there to save him from the Prison Dimension, they would have next to nothing of Leo left.
And even more than that, him thinking he’s nothing without his brothers…is that what he thinks himself to be, as he floats in the Prison Dimension, battered and beaten? Alone as he was, with nothing but a photo to connect him to his family and his fellow prisoner being someone who doesn’t even know his name…was he content being nothing, then?
There’s a dichotomy there, in regard to how Leo tackles the difference of his family being separated from him, and him being separated from his family. One gives way to immediate action and panic, the other quiet acceptance.
He willingly takes on the descriptor of Nothing only when he’s the one that’s cut away.

Going to obsess over Husk and Alastor for a second
ok. ok. OK. so. more on why alastor and husk's dynamic makes my head spin. is because, on paper, I have. NO idea,,, how they work??? they have the absolute most clashing personalities I have ever seen, and yet alastor chose husk and continues to choose him as a confidant and a co-conspirator and workhorse, even though he has much more obviously like-minded people around him in Rosie, Mimzy, and Niffty. And Husk -- I'm a little more forgiving on Husk's end because a) he has zero choice in his involvement here and b) he's kind of a bleeding heart himself, so I can kind of understand the moments where he looks out for Alastor or shows care outside of the bounds of his contract. But still. I look at them, and I'm just... why????? I'm so intrigued by it.
Because.... listen. What I understand about Husk is this. That he's a very compassionate person at heart, and cares about other people, even though he tries desperately not to. Hell, from the way he acts he seems like more of a true believer in Charlie's ideas for redemption than even Vaggie at times. He has a high degree of empathy and can easily see through people's bullshit (probably part of what makes him a terror at cards). I think at core he's a very sincere person, and this is part of why it is absolutely not in his nature to sugarcoat things, or refrain from speaking his mind. Husk is also a person who demands two things from the people around him - one is to treat him and his boundaries with respect, and this is why he snaps so much at Angel to begin with, and also what made him so furious with Alastor in episode 5. The second thing that Husk demands is honesty and vulnerability from the people around him, and he's openly disdainful of "fake" people. He tells Angel outright that he would treat him better if he were "real" -- his respect and affection for Angel was contingent to an extent on Angel being willing to drop his mask.
So you take this person, and stick him with Alastor, the fakest of fake motherfuckers in Hell, who can't stand the concept of being vulnerable and whose basic operating philosophy is "wear a mask smile so that you can hide your true feelings and always seem in control." Alastor, a person who is so desperately hungry for respect and power that he goes ballistic over what he sees as disrespect (even if it's just plain honesty), who pathologically needs the upper hand, who is casually and constantly disrespectful, who showboats relentlessly, who spits out one liners and strikes a pose even when he's a hair's breadth from death and fleeing the scene. THIS guy.
...who hand selected as one of his closest companions a person whose philosophy and personality is diametrically opposed to his own. I think... that says something about alastor, though it's hard to say what exactly that is, yet. maybe he likes watching husk "I lost the ability to love years ago sike I'm falling in love again" care and then suffer for caring and start the cycle all over again, similarly to how he said that he wanted to watch charlie try her hardest with the hotel and fail. on the other hand, as much as Alastor tries to stay aloof from the hotel's residents (not him looking over them all from a proverbial theater box in episode 8 as they prepare to face execution day), I don't think he's lying about his affection for them. maybe there's a small part of him that's looking to be surprised, or even proven wrong. maybe he thinks he'll be happy either way, and that's part of why he doesn't act the saboteur. or maybe there's even another element to it... alastor doesn't only court respect and fear, he courts adoration, and deliberately looks for and soaks up the affection thrown his way by charlie and the rest. maybe alastor is attracted to people who can't help but genuinely care for him, even against their better judgment.
