Hi TG Fandom!
Okay so, I want us to imagine a world where Goose doesn't die, where the good luck that has followed Maverick his entire life is enough to save them both.
Maverick, who has miraculously survived the craziest things over the years and continues to do so. He was soloing under a lucky star long before Ice became his guardian angel.
Imagine they go through Ice’s jetwash the same as before and they go into a flat spin, Maverick is pinned down and can't get his hands free, Goose has to eject them, but his fingers are slipping, fumbling before he finally yanks down on the cords. The canopy gets sucked in too close to the body of the jet with the position they're in, it can't clear completely and Goose screams blindly because he knows he’s going to die.
He knows he's going to collide with the canopy, but instead he feels like he's curled into a person.
It’s too warm and all he sees is a flash of dark hair and scared green eyes in the chaos. Mav, what? He's horrified that Mav is somehow in his arms, did their chutes get tangled? He doesn't understand. But he fumbles his hand up, grabbing Mav’s tags just in time for the canopy to collide with Mav’s back. Goose screams until he’s suddenly in the water, he's lost time and there's something clutched in his hand. But Mav grabs him, drags him up on his chest.
“We’re okay, Goose! We’re okay!”
And they are okay.
They get out completely unscathed and it’s only when they're on deck, shivering like wet rats, that Goose finally opens his hand. It’s a pair of dog tags — kind of. They're old, and barnacles have grown on the metal and stuck both tags together. It doesn't make sense.
Mav looks at him like he's lost his marbles when he mentions how their chutes tangled up.
He feels like he's nuts. But when Goose shows the tags to Viper in the base hospital and tells him what happened, the hardened old man seems to crumple before his eyes.
It’s only then that Goose notices a class ring, an USNA class ring dangling from that crusted chain. There’s no stone, but he would recognize it anywhere. Mav… Mav didn't go to the Academy.
“Sir?” Goose asks.
Viper just mutely shows him the tags, the barnacles peeled away to reveal a notch and the words:
#Because I love the idea of Duke being Mav’s guardian angel#And he would not have let Goose die#Levi “Duke” Mitchell#duke mitchell#mike viper metcalf#nick goose bradshaw#pete maverick mitchell#top gun 1986#tom iceman kazansky#top gun#top gun maverick#Also he's Jewish because I say so#But Mav grew up completely divorced from his ethnoreligious culture#Duke was only in his 20s/early 30s#Just a dark haired green eyed boy 😭

I've been doing a lot of reflection as of late, especially after this past class.
This past class was about the Torah and Tanakh in general, and the way the rabbi talked about the commandments (specifically the ten commandments) has made me really reflect on how I interpret them, specifically the fifth commandment, or honoring your mother and father.
This is a commandment I have wrestled with for a long time - in fact, it brought me away from g-d at multiple times. I was severely abused when I was incredibly young by my mother, and I used to feel insulted at the implication that I were to honor her while she got to live a better life. It was hypocritical, in my eyes.
But this rabbi surmised that this particular commandment was because parenthood is an act of creation, something that is like the g-d from which we come from. My realization is this: I don't think we're necessarily meant to take even these commandments literally.
I this particular commandment is more of a call to honor creation - creation is a gift, and like any gift, many people simply will not like it and will discard it. The person who abused me created me, but she did not honor creation. She didn't honor me, but I can still honor it.
I have started to honor creation much more. I'm too young, too unstable, not mature enough to be a father (though I fantasize about it), but I create all the time. I create relationships, I create with my hands through crochet. I create memories, I create my world. And I can honor who I am and where I came from that made me who I am. I've been learning one of the mother tongues of my family (Italian, since part of my family originates there) and it was judaism that inspired me to do this.
I don't think g-d wants me to honor my abuser. I think He wants me to remember the Holy action of creation. When I am a father, that act of creation will be Holy, and indeed, I am already joyful about the thought.
I have seen many people struggle with this particular commandment, but I think this perspective helps me personally. I don't think I ever have to forgive my abusers (plural), and I don't think I am commanded to simply because they happened to be family. I am commanded to recognize the holy, to elevate the mundane. In doing so, I will remember g-d. Through creation, I honor g-d and everything he has done for us, for me, and for our collective people.
#jumblr#jew by choice#jewish conversion#personal thoughts tag#abuse tw#i am not sharing this for the sake of pity and i also ask not to be told to divulge my abuse story. that isn't relevant#i have been needing to engage with this topic for a long time though and judaism has helped me a bit in navigating healing#but i decided to share this publicly in the hopes it will help other survivors specifically of familial/parental abuse#i know how it feels (in general). it's so lonely and you can really harbor (understandable) baggage about this particular commandment#i have a meeting with My Rabbi (sponsoring rabbi) and i might bring this up. we've only spoken once face-to-face (zoom)#so that might be really Intense to bring up to him but he is very kind and i trust him (which is why he is My Rabbi)#and he has already told me that he WANTS me to wrestle with g-d and His word *with* him#again i am posting this publicly so i can document my thoughts and keep them straight but also with the hope it MIGHT help others#if it even *casually* inspires another survivor i will feel so grateful (though it is THEIR achievement and not mine to claim)#i want us to survive. i want us to eat well. i want us to smile#i will say that this must be a very sudden whiplash in tone from my last post about sex. from sex to awful horrific abuse#my stream of consciousness is just Like This though in the sense that i have very sudden realizations and tonal whiplashes#so you're just getting a very frank look into how my brain is structured and what my brain thinks are important enough to think about#if i seem much more verbose it's because i needed to write this on my laptop which makes typing and more importantly yapping even *easier*

Once there was a boy who was a shepherd. He kept watch over a small flock of sheep in a pasture at the edge of town. He loved his sheep. He had been born to a shepherd from a family of shepherds, and had so grown up amongst his flock. He knew all of the sheep by name and would great them one-by-one each morning. "Hello Dolly," he would say. "Hello Steven and hello Betty."
Now these sheep were undoubtedly useful: the townspeople would eat their meat and weave their wool and gnaw on their bones as they worked the fields. But these sheep were also alive. They had a glittering intelligence in their black eyes, and they would commune every so often to discuss the harvest, and the shepherd boy, and the townspeople. The sheep loved the shepherd boy and they loved the town and the townspeople, and the people loved them back. They were good sheep.
Now one day the shepherd boy overheard one of the townspeople talking about his flock. The man said he thought the sheep were ugly, and that they smelled bad. This upset the shepherd boy, because he loved his sheep, and he thought the people loved his sheep as well. The shepherd boy, being no more than 12 years old at the time, wanted to remind the people of how much his sheep mattered to them. So one night as the moon hid behind the clouds the shepherd boy stood on a stone in his pasture and cried out: "Help! Help! A wolf!"
Out came a crowd of people, blinking the sleep from their eyes and carrying torches and pitchforks and shovels and ladels. They stood in the pasture and looked about, but they could see no wolf. The townspeople became angry and shook their fists at the shepherd boy. "This is a serious matter!" they cried. The shepherd boy had to admit that his ploy was juvenile, but he was still a child, and so the people forgave him. And they continued to love the shepherd boy and his sheep, and the shepherd boy and his sheep loved them back, for the townspeople had proved that night how much they cared.
Five years later, when the shepherd boy was now a teen, he stood amongst his flock in the pasture and he said "good night, Dolly. Good night, Steven and good night, Betty." But as the clouds passed over the moon the shepherd teen saw a shape in the distance, and out of fear for his flock he cried out: "Help! Help! A wolf!"
Again came the great crashing crowd with their knives and their swords and axes and bows. They stood in the pasture and looked about, but they could see no wolf. The townspeople once again became angry, and they shook their fists at the shepherd teen. "This is a serious matter!" they cried. "We love you and we love your sheep, but you must learn to not be so frightened!" With great grumbling the townspeople returned to their homes, and the shepherd teen sensed that something had changed.
Five more years passed, and the shepherd teen was now a shepherd. He still passed through his flock every morning and said, "Good morning, Dolly. Good morning, Steven and good morning, Betty." And the sheep loved the shepherd and he loved them. But in his age he had grown cautious. The shepherd had learned from the townspeople that perhaps the wolves were not so great a threat as he had thought. And so at night when he would see their red eyes prowling at the edges of his pasture, he would stay silent and wait.
One night, as the clouds began to cover the moon, a wolf appeared. The wolf approached Dolly the sheep and snarled, its lips wet. "Away!" cried the shepherd. "Away with you!" But the wolf showed its fangs and said, "I want your sheep." "Why?" cried the boy. "Why must you take my sheep? You have your food in the forest!" But the wolf laughed. "I want your sheep because I am a wolf and they are sheep. That is how it is done." And the wolf parted its terrible jaws and snatched up Dolly the sheep and dragged her into the deep woods. And the shepherd remained silent.
The next night two wolves appeared, their eyes red and their tongues hungry. The wolves approached Steven the sheep who was with his family. "Away with you!" cried the shepherd. "Why do you hate my sheep so?" The wolves cackled and said with the same voice, "we hate your sheep because it is the thing for sheep to be hated. All wolves hate sheep, and they cannot all be wrong. Even the birds and rabbits of the forest will come around." And the wolves each took a leg from Steven the sheep and hauled him into the dark woods. And still the shepherd held his tongue.
The next night as the moon was new the shepherd saw a sea of red eyes at the edge of the forest. The wolves marched toward his sheep, their heads held high. And the shepherd saw that indeed the birds and rabbits of the forest were among them, their eyes bleeding and their teeth sharp. They approached Betty the sheep who cried out in terror. The shepherd stood on a rock in his pasture and called out with a loud voice: "Help! Help! The wolves have come, and all the birds and rabbits of the forest!"
But this time no one came. You see, although the boy had cried wolf before, his fear was now justified. But the townspeople had grown tired of him. Every time the flock was threatened they felt compelled to act, and that compulsion drained them. And they no longer liked the shepherd. He had spent too much time with his sheep, and they had begun to see that same glittering black intelligence in his eyes. Sheep are frightened of everything and cannot be expected to know when they are truly in danger.
What had the shepherd done for them? He kept his sheep mostly to himself these days. Perhaps the shepherd was the one really in control, and he had used his cries of wolf to bend the townspeople to his will. Anyone whose flock was threatened that often must be doing something wrong.
And what was this about the birds and rabbits of the forest? They were peaceful! They could never be convinced to join with those who preyed upon them. Flocks of sheep are old and backwards and they are a drain on the town, the people thought. If the birds and rabbits hate the sheep they must have good reason to do so.
Again the shepherd called out, but the townspeople rolled over in their beds and stuffed their ears with sheep's wool. The shepherd's cries of wolf had made them feel guilty, and so they had found reasons for why they did not have to listen. And besides, the townspeople thought as they pulled their wolf skins over their heads and their eyes glowed red, the sheep really were delicious...
#atlas entry#I wrote and re-wrote this post 5 times bc i couldn't figure out how to say what I was thinking. so I decided to do what I do best and write#the story of the boy who cried wolf has always bothered me because like. yeah he shouldn't have cried wolf but also if the townspeople#actually cared about the flock they would come no matter what. instead they convince themselves that they don't have to care#anyways this post is about#antisemitism#and in particular#leftist antisemitism#jew#jewish#judaism#jumblr

I feel weird admitting this but I picked the female neurosurgeon out of the 5 other men they suggested because I feel like there’s a bigger chance she’ll actually listen to me and talk to me like a human person and not just an academic oddity
#not to say my past 2 neurosurgeons who were male were bad but I’ve met SO MANY shitty ortho surgeons#I’m lucky my last one was this aging Jewish grandpa because he talked to me like a person too and also I threw up on him and he didn’t flip#shoutout to him for being the most normal surgeon ever

WAIT. FRENCH? FRENCH??? THEY MADE TAAKO FRENCH????
#NO. NO#the thing is i was in the fandom when these books started coming out and i know taako is blue specifically because of the discourse#between . you really should make him hispanic vs no you absolutely shouldn't because his whole thing in the first few arcs is stealing shit#and then also no he shouldn't be green either for you know jewish stereotype reasons#and as an . attempt. at compromise. the mcelroys made him blue. i remember this happening#which is definitely coloring how i am reading them replacing taako using a spanish word here with a FRENCH WORD#and now that i think about it. in the gerblins book griffin also mentions something taako says as being ''very french'' what. what#WAS THEIR ATTEMPT AT COMPRPMISE JUST MAKING HIM FRENCH INSTEAD?? IS TAAKO SUPPOSED TO BE FRENCH?#IM LOSING MY MIND#btw if you forgot the original line was ''bad news compadres this place is magic as hell''#so exact same line except with french instead of spanish. i fucking guess#taz b lb#.txt#taz gn#taz gn lb

Interview with Larry Gelbart on Charlie Rose, 1998
#i don't know what to say about this lol so i'm just putting this clip up and rambling in the tags#today is larry gelbart's birthday and i've spent the last year consuming much of his body of work#i recommend watching the first bit of this interview because he explains his approach to comedy#which boils down to 'in order to write comedy you need to be funny'#and then he proceeds to make a bunch of these kinds of jokes#and you can hear hawkeye in his voice. the light self-deprecation /#the biting wit / the way he treats the interviewer like an improv partner#he's not anticipated his answers he's performing them on the spot#he goes on after this to wax poetically about MASH but he ends on a punchline as usual#the rhythm is the same as hawkeye's speech in 'chief surgeon who'#anyway yeah i'm weird about this old man#happy birthday ty for [gestures]#larry gelbart#oh also early MASH is jewish i will explain later

full on begging anti-civ people to explain just a little bit more what they mean by "destroy society" and "everything means nothing" and "civilization must end and all products of civilization" i desperately need you to clarify what you mean. those are intricate concepts that encompass vast swaths of the lived experiences of all people on earth, and it is deeply confusing.
instead of slapping down every possible idea for living more sustainably as a species, i would genuinely like to see some alternatives suggested. what do you want the future to look like? what does the "end of society" mean to you? because i feel as though the primary issue among anarchists is that no one can quite agree on what they mean by that, and what they want to see happen in the future. i struggle with it myself!
i just don't think defeatist rhetoric is very actionable, and i also think many anti-civ bloggers tend towards using nihilism to avoid engaging with the practicalities of what their philosophy is asking for - to the point where it gets rather confusing trying to figure out what, exactly, they believe the world should become in the aftermath of the destruction of civilization.
#genuinely am interested in hearing more about anti-civ beliefs#but it is difficult for me to engage in a conversation lacking clarity in the use of words#some people say 'destroy society' and mean it as 'destroy patriarchal class systems and their racializing assemblages'#and some people say 'destroy society' and mean 'society is a globalist conspiracy and must be destroyed' which is very different!#i know the second guy. i went to college with him and initially we got along bc we were both anarchists#then i found out that anarchism to him meant something very specifically white man conspiracy irt jewish people and racial minorities being#'in control' of the government in some way. he legit believes illegal immigrants are being bussed to his shitty hometown to steal jobs#but he also says things like 'we need to destroy society' and for the most part sounds like the average anti-civ anarchist on tumblr#so like i really do want to engage with the idea of anti-civilization because western civ is a poisonous concept built on conquest#i'd also just like some clarification on what yall mean by 'destroy' and also what the future should look like to all of you

two different rabbis directly to me + multiple places online: jewish imposter syndrome is real and is (to varying degrees) almost a universal experience in one way or another
me, who has been actively practicing for over nine months and taken multiple classes while also being halachically jewish by birth: i am the exception and am an imposter in jewish spaces and should feel bad about it. no i will not elaborate on why i believe this is true of me and no one else.
#to be clear NONE of this shame is being messaged to me by my shul#i’m just so insecure since i was raised religiously christian and only officially stopped attending church in 2020#*february 2020#even though i’d been drawn to judaism and deeply uncomfortable with christianity for years before that#and also had a degree of jewish identity through my family and celebrating holidays secularly growing up#i stayed as long as i did because 1) the liturgy was familiar#and 2) i’d be guaranteed to see my best friend once a week#converts have to go through a gauntlet. i feel like i’ve…cheated.#part of me wonders if i should pursue an affirmation#whether it would help i mean#but if i did my jewish grandfather would rise from the grave and say ‘YOU DON’T NEED IT BECAUSE YOU’RE PERFECTLY JEWISH AS YOU ARE’#on the other hand he was also an atheist and probably would have mixed feelings on me practicing at all#although i’m not the only grandkid who’s done so#two of my cousins (their mom is my mom’s sister) were raised catholic but switched to judaism at least 10 years ago#to my knowledge neither of them went through an affirmation process#ughhhhh#my posts#jumblr#i guess i did elaborate why in the tags huh

I might get some (unreasonable) hate for this and I will block people who are gonna be shitty but I have to say I really like Noah from Smosh. Like he's cool, he's funny, I really enjoy him in videos and tbh most if not all of the reasons I've seen from people about why he sucks is just pure antisemitism. Noah is great!!!
#it genuinely makes me sad how at least here on tumblr he seems to be hated by Everyone#like i don't think i've seen one positive post about him#and i really looked into it and tried to read people's opinions#but no joke it's all antisemitism#so yeah#i really enjoy seeing him and if other people don't like him then i guess they're just gonna have to miss out on some amazing videos#the new beopardy is great btw#can very much recommend#also i really don't want to start a fight on here i'm generally also not involved in this fandom#but i sometimes go into the tags and then i see people purposefully crop him out of pictures or say the meanest things about him for no#reason#and i just kinda felt like making this post cause idk from what i've seen he's really a cool guy#lea's random thoughts#idk i might delete this if this gets many shitty comments or whatever cause mental health and all but yeah#crazy how i have to be scared of getting a bunch of mean and shitty comments just for saying that i like a guy from an youtube channel#just because he's jewish#noah grossman

not my online friend trying to have the "not all zionists" conversation with me rn
#we've talked about palestine before and she always takes the most centrist version of israel's side she possibly can lmao#i try very hard to never discuss politics with her but she is literally always the one bringing it up and it throws all my affection for he#out the window. like babe.... i'm jewish... you're not.... why are we even having this conversation besides you trying to prove smth#like an informal conversation is not the place for a fucking political debate and if you're not gonna recognize my pov#why am i even still friends with you.#it does make me genuinely sad but if i have to have this conversation again i may well and truly just block her#like she apparently has another jewish friend who seems to side heavily with zionist values (lol) but still acts like a centrist#so ik that's where she's getting the majority of her viewpoints from and it's so fucking grating like you're talking to another jew rn#why would i ever want to support nationalism of any kind when that's what lead to the fucking holocaust#why would you ever be lenient on a group of people who are actively commiting a genocide#i seriously just. like it makes me sick to my stomach that i even have someone in my life who doesn't get it#and i don't even know what to say like my 'i don't wanna be mean to a friend' shit is taking over#especially when she's not the kind of person i can just say anything to. we're not close like that unfortunately#so i've just been in limbo hoping she isn't gonna talk about it but i'm gonna have to put aside our friendship if she does this again#bc i'm not gonna be friends with someone who outright doesn't listen to me saying that my own people commiting a genocide hurts me#just because she wants to be one of those 'well this 'conflict' shouldn't be happening bc it's hurting innocent people :('#this is why i hate having any convos about this with people who haven't been politically engaged with palestine before the end of last yr#like my brother also doesn't fully get the scope of it but at least HE knows that israel (and even the concept of it) is evil and racist#sigh.

#I'm not gonna be doing all that crab-posting and stuff --#not in literally any judgement of crab-posting it's just not an emotion I personally experience.#But what I WILL say is that. regardless of what I want or how I feel about him. he was Jewish. We share(d) that kinship.#That's doesn't reflect or affect any moral judgement -- being Jewish is not a moral achievement#sharing kinship with me doesn't have an inherent ethical dimension.#but it's relevant. It's why I'm saying anything in particular here.#Because -- because of that -- the thought popped into my head#and I don't think it's something anyone else would say so I'M saying it:#I hope someone puts a kidney stone onto his grave.#Bury him quick and good riddance.#(... I hope that wasn't too oblique a joke. Also he's only seventy-something but I hope Bibi falls and breaks his neck. Share the vibes.)

what *is* cryptofash?
it's short for cryptofascist, it's a term used for someone who covertly supports fascist sentiments or ideas adjacent to them without explicitly signaling it. someone who's cryptofash might closely associate with people who are more openly alt-right, express sympathy for fascist talking points, and voice certain statements/ideas common in fascist circles that, while not always strictly fascist ideas in isolation, can imply alt-right thinking when in tandem with other common fascist sentiments. in essence it's that guy you've always been suspicious of but you can't say for certain if they're just under-educated, reactionary, or a genuine nazi until you discover screenshots of them asking the jewish question in a discord server
#speedrunning has a fuckton of these and there's two you may recognize#rwhitegoose and karl jobst#both have been outed through screenshot evidence from the same server spouting white supremacist shit#particularly about jewish and chinese people#karl jobst was just never found out until later because the shit rwg had said was so much more horrifying#several youtubers i'm extremely wary of because i suspect them#internethistorian is on the more visible end of crypto because of his associations with openly alt-right youtubers#his earlier videos being all about 4chan and its culture while using its lingo and associated memes#and his covid denialist/antivax tweets to name just a few reasons#manykudos i'm not certain on but it's more his associations and less what he thinks and says#he's dunked on people who are 'a little too into war history for it to just be a hobby' before which is like#not a group you'd typically make fun of if you were fash so it makes me think he's Aware#magicmush gives me huge cryptofash vibes because of the subject matter of his videos being all about#standard fare online punching bags including cwc#and anybody who talks about 'lolcows' is instantly shitlisted for me because it's fucking blatant what their politics are#wendigoon is also crypto for me because unfortunately if you talk about being a pro-gun christian#while also associating with other people who just exude right-leaning proclivities#i'm not gonna trust you#etc etc

Jews in skyrim 👁️👁️
#jumblr#meme#personal thoughts tag#'braided bread' todd you aren't slick NOTHING gets by me unnoticed#obviously this is one massive joke post but this reminded me of the post i reblogged#where the person was saying how they wanted to start like... a series of finding jews in random media#i forgor how the post went but i love imagining how jewish life would look in the games i play#imagine fighting a dragon and going 'oh shit oh FUCK it's shabbos' and LEGGING it back home 💀#if i was a jewish DB that's probably how it would go down#the dragon follows you because he also forgot it was shabbos and Never misses the candle lighting#more like he CAN'T miss shabbos because he's the only dragon with the fire thu'um in his friend group#so he's the only one who CAN light the candles#wait no because this would unironically be interesting considering how polytheistic the elder scroll series is#but the difference between irl polytheism and the one in tes is that there is... undeniable proof of the existence of other gods

#its weird when the main points of why buying hgl is fine bc people play skyrim and dragon age and fallout#when like. is your point people are racist in those games?#bc idk if you know this but equating the purposeful racism and antisemitism done by hgl and your favorite just a joke rowling#to like. creatures in a separate game franchise.#that yknow. arent owned by mrs antisemite#like you going 'she didnt make it so its not intentional 🤪' is stupid when the creator of the game shares her views as well#like this persons points arent making any sense bc theyre saying bc theyre native they have a allowance to buy it#bro. listen to the people AFFECTED BY IT 💀#this is what we call performative activism#like just bc You say 'and i dont tell other people not to buy these games' DOESNT GIVE YOU A PASS TO BUY A BIGOTED GAME#like this person is proudly defending jkr and criticizing other native and jewish people so its no use in arguing w them either way#like just because You dont say anything about the racism in the games you play#and dont tell other people Not to play them#doesnt give you any sort of right to say Other people dont have a right to tell you to not fund a Literal fascist#also like. its weird to challenge a view and compare it to something made that the actual creators have said that if done today#it would be made differently#or Have made it differently in other games#like if jkr had changed views or whatever and said that she would have done it differently is a different story#Tolkien literally did#also its funny to mention they said their dad inspired this talk bc he said 'well the person who got you to think on this is talking to a#specific group of people' and they went 'yeah its not me! im going be antisemitic as shit!!' like babes that aint how it works 💀
