My favourite scene: Gale’s last dance

Something I noticed when rewatching this scene is how the people around Buck are all watching Gale dance with meatball but Gale only looks at John. John is the only person Gale has eyes for and seems to care about watching him. When he winks at John its as if he does it to ease John’s nerves and for John to remember him this way: dancing with meatball and being happy and John looks at him as if he wants to commit every second of this to his memory.

something something lycaon is almost definitely colorblind ‘cause he’s a wolf thiren… something dsomething canines have yellow blue dichromatic vision and hugo’s color palette is entirely blond/gold-blue/indigo….

except for his red eye………that lycaon CANT SEE because his eyes DON’T REGISTER THE COLOR RED……. SOMETHING SOMETHING THIS FUCKING MOMENT IN THE NEW YEAR BANGBOO EVENT

something something lycaon could never actually see the worst part of hugo and could only believe what others tell him is true.. something something lycaon never saw lycaon for his family line and only saw the hugo standing in front of him

Captain Jack "Happy Jack" Ilfrey 1920-2004. Check out the swastikas on the side of his plane. He was shot down twice but evaded capture and returned to his squadron. In the final decade of his life he confirmed to Christopher Case that his life paralleled the story of Jack and Fred in Wingmen, but sadly he had never felt able to be open with his family or peers. His autobiography "Happy Jack's Go Buggy" arrived in the post today. I can't wait to dive into it.

I will never forget the day I discovered “wingmen” was already used as a euphemism for gay lovers before the Top Gun fandom got ahold of it.

Oh, but hey, it’s probably just a coincidence, it’s not like there’s any proof the cast or filmmakers were aware of this, by all accounts, obscure queer historical aviation romance. It’s not like the top half of the cover art mirrors a famous scene from the fil… wait…

“You can be my wingman anytime”

“Bullshit, you can be mine” indeed Tony Scott.

something something henry laying on his back with sidney’s head carefully on top of his chest so that both their injuries are touching because in some ways it’s what let them be together at the end something something

"I froze, as I heard him shout it again. Then, in disbelief, I turned. And while I still stood unable to believe it, people streaming round us on either side, he laughed and barged forward to throw his arms around me."

possibly one of my favorite scenes in in memoriam is near the end of the book when gaunt and ellwood are on the train. ellwood panics so quickly but gaunt is so quick to pick it up and so quick to distract & comfort him. he even gets ellwood to laugh. it’s at a point of their story where ellwood isn’t sure how to feel everything he used to feel so the gentleness that is still there is so so special. i honestly feel like that scene is something of a turning point in their post-war relationship that is proof of how perfectly they still fit together, despite everything.
