#Top Gun Lore

Meltdown rarely talks to Slider anymore. She's of the belief he's ashamed after she and Menace crashed trying to avoid Phoenix and Bob's jetwash. In reality, Slider was amongst the chain of command for the mission and specifically made the fallback call in a selfish attempt to protect his daughter and son-in-law. The disfiguring scars across her and her WSO's faces and bodies make it impossible for him to look at either of them for very long.

Menace doesn't blame his wife for the accident and often finds himself cooling her signature meltdowns before they begin. Though his face was mostly spared, various deep scars mar his arms and torso. Though their relationship is already a secret to all but three of the Daggers, Meltdown's late night flashbacks are only known to him.

(BONUS: Menace face reveal! Also a little picrew showing the WSO working his siganture soothing skills)

Someone write a fic about Iceman and Slider kidnapping all of the flyboys and taking them to the million-dollar Kazansky family house in Hawaii that they never got rid of for a well-deserved vacation because they really need it. And then cue all the drunken shenanigans and party games and angst and skinny dipping and all those tropes fanfic writers love, but sprinkled throughout is def some unresolved trauma (and sexual tension). Like they kinda know each other but don’t really know each other, so there’s revelations about Ice and Slider being in the shitty dads club and Mav just being Mav. Maybe they run into a boy Ice was best friends with for the several years he lived in Hawaii at the grocery story and the guy is jacked and def flirting with Ice but Ice is oblivious which makes Mav insanely jealous. Maybe Ice’s dad tracks him down and has a chat with him before vanishing and it leaves Ice messed up mentally or physically.

Basically just shove them all into a beach house in Hawaii and the rest will flow naturally.

“Rooster, why is Penny hugging Mav like she didn’t see him yesterday?” Halo asked, leaning around the pillar near the pool and dart board to catch a glimpse of Penny enveloping Mav in a tight embrace.

“Did something happen? Is he okay?” she continued, her tone protective. The other eleven Daggers turned their heads, confusion etched on their faces. Bradley raised an eyebrow, squinting.

No, that wasn’t Maverick. The plain, nondescript jacket was a dead giveaway, starkly different from Mav’s signature brown patch-bombed one. The hair was flatter, less spiky. This wasn’t his godfather—this was Ethan.

“That’s Ethan,” Bradley said, shrugging casually. He had become so accustomed to Ethan’s random appearances that he took pride in distinguishing between the two. “Mav will be here soon; wherever one is, the other usually follows.”

Just then, Mav appeared right beside his brother, and Bradley gestured dramatically, realizing he’d jinxed himself.

The Daggers all turned to Mav, bewilderment in their eyes. “Ethan?” Hangman drawled. “You’re telling me Pops has a twin?”

“Obviously, Bagman,” Harvard shot back with a smirk, earning a playful smack on the arm from Hangman, who just missed him. Laughter erupted around them.

“I thought Mav was an only child,” Payback said, leaning against the pool table next to Coyote. “But they seem pretty close, so I’m ruling out family drama.”

“It’s just him and Ethan. E travels a lot for work, but he’s around more than you’d think,” Bradley explained, tapping his pool cue on the floor as Hangman lined up his shot. “He’s like a ghost—one minute he’s there, the next he’s gone. It’s wild. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve dropped by Mav’s and he’s just… sitting there.”

The group soaked up this new information eagerly. Learning anything about Mav was like candy to them; they relished the opportunity.

“What does he do?” Halo asked softly, and the Daggers scrambled to appear casual as the duo approached.

“I don’t know,” Bradley admitted, shaking his head. To this day, he had no clue what Ethan did.

Like a specter, Ethan materialized by the pool table, smiling, with Mav trailing behind carrying drinks. Ethan noticed the bewildered expressions on the squad’s faces and chuckled. “I see my brother hasn’t introduced me. I’m Ethan.”

Before anyone could respond, Ethan swiped Bradley’s pool cue with a mischievous grin and racked the balls with practiced precision, effectively sabotaging Hangman’s shot. Hangman threw his hands up in frustration, and Ethan smirked.

“You could’ve won the game two moves ago—snooze you lose,” he teased, causing the Daggers to gasp in mock outrage.

“Pops, I don’t like him,” Hangman declared with an exaggerated tone, but laughter bubbled up from everyone, the camaraderie warming the room.

Bonus:

“So, are you a pilot too?” Fanboy asked when he spotted Ethan at Mav’s summer cookout. He hadn’t gotten a chance to talk to him last time.

“Oh no, I was in the Army before I retired. Now I just do government work,” Ethan replied with a smile, feeling he could share more but kept the details to himself. He already had Pete worrying about him; he didn’t need to give them more to think about.

“Though I have flown a helicopter. It’s a lot easier than it looks,” he added, and Fanboy’s eyes lit up.

“So you have your license?”

“No.”

Fanboy blinked, caught off guard by the casual response. He opened and closed his mouth, struggling to formulate a reply. “But you said you flew a helicopter…”

“Yes, once.”

Do you ever get so excited over something you have to physically stop and be like "wow..... I'm really autistic"

[wannabemasterofwindintraining]

Oh boy here i go again

BEARS!

So their whole thing in the show is that they sleep all of the time which is a very stupid idea

Like how are they still even existing with them sleeping that much they'd end up like the pandas who are endangered cause they're too lazy to make babies

So i decided to give them something new to be their thing

Bears are now the nerds

Yes i know eagles are already the nerds in the og show but in my rewrite birds are more of philosophers while bears are the analytical thinkers

While birds are sitting in their Palaces questioning the meaning of life and where everything originated from bears are getting an education

Bear schools and colleges are giving animals from all around chima the best education out of all of the kingdoms but sadly they are kinda hard to get into

Also it's not much but out of all of chima they have the most advanced technology which i imagine would equal to the type of tech we had in the 90s maybe

I know i said bears aren't the naptime tribe anymore but you know what I'm gonna keep bladvic a sleepy chill dude

Not gonna make it as intense as the og but just know he'd rather sleep than study for bear school/college

While on the topic i really have no idea how old i wanna make the characters maybe I'll decide later

The first handgun developed by Vincent Research Technologies, kickstarting their firearms division with what would become the go to handgun for NAT residents. Chambered in the .172 Vincent cartridge, it's stopping power is relatively anemic, as it's technically smaller in diameter than the time-tested .22 round. However, that doesn't really matter if you shoot them ten times. With a built in laser sight, something that would go on to become standard firearms technology, the VA-Vindicator is the tried and true option for anyone who could possibly need a gun, without much care for aesthetics.

EX-OP: NAT Kickstarter coming soon!
