hi!! very excited about your next batch! but i was wondering if you ever think of posting some of the (wonderful) female!mav scenes you wrote (the question mark on my computer decided to stop working but this is indeed a question)
have a great weekend!!
yeah sure! again— this isn’t finished and never will be finished, I posted the reasons below. But here are a bunch of snippets from the fem!mav/lesbian charliemav AU from this summer. Would love to hear your thoughts, because politically it gave me some pause! lol.
1. On how mav survives (the central motif of the one-shot is Mav cutting her hair with scissors which is why the emphasis here)
2. On ice (straight icemav will never work because fundamentally ice is a misogynistic cunt)
3. on sex with girly girls (one of life’s greatest pleasures)
ehhh you get the picture of what’s under the cut
4. on charliemav
5. on charlie
7. The end (post Layton mission [mav proving herself by saving ice’s life] and the end of TG86, Mav gearing up to cut her hair again in Charlie’s house)
and here, copy-pasted, were the tags i planned to affix to the charliemav one-shot, which I think explain also why I stopped writing it—maverick is insanely out of character here!
“some discussion of issues that would affect a female pilot in the 1980s in this one: SA, sexism, etc. u have been warned / i would love to talk to anyone about the politics of this one cause hoo boy i had to think about it / it’s a little personal to me too / i wouldn’t necessarily say i struggle with my gender identity but i do have a really complicated relationship with it / i think this mav is incredibly out of character / it turns out mav’s thoughtless overperformance of masculinity is so ingrained into his character that / if you make it intentional he/she turns into an entirely different character. / i often struggle with writing maverick way way too bitter (there’s something very gentle about tgm mav I struggle replicating) / & this is a VERY bitter & cynical & calculating mav as well. she has to be. But i fear i lose some of mav’s original character in the cynicism. 🤷🏽♀️ / that’s why i struggle writing AUs—you lose so much of the original characters who are DEFINED by the stories they’re from / if that makes sense. / i think a female maverick isn’t maverick. / you might as well be writing original fiction at that point. / this 1 shot is pretty much just original fiction. / idk would love to hear ppls thoughts on the fandom philosophy behind AUs / something i would love to think about more / top gun fanfiction / charlotte charlie Blackwood / pete maverick mitchell / Tom iceman kazansky/ nick goose bradshaw / genderbent top gun / charliemav / in this universe mav and Charlie break up and mav gets back together with Penny according to the tgm timeline btw / TGM mav might as well be a lesbian like nothing really has to change in the script at all. / post 2010 tom cruise just gives lesbian. no change necessary / soundtrack for this one is ‘I have a woman inside my soul’ by yoko ono”
I also stopped writing this one because I could not for the life of me figure out how to write goose, canonically a sexist just like mav and ice. made things difficult and a little awkward
#pete maverick mitchell#tom iceman kazansky#charlotte charlie blackwood#top gun#asks#oh boy lesbian charliemav though. whoa. 🥰#would’ve been great if I could’ve pulled it off 🥲#basically the plot of this one was maverick dealing first & foremost with her femininity#she’s not trans BUT she hates womanhood. if that makes sense. because womanhood makes people discount her#as a pilot in the manly manly naval aviator program.#her womanhood functions the same as ‘fatherly dishonor’ in the original movie. makes people discount her/him as a pilot.#so she toxically replicates the behaviors of the men around her to make her less attractive to them and less of a target#but then with the Layton mission she proves herself#and actually bests iceman (who is super butthurt about it bc woman beat him but they maintain respect)#and Charlie encourages mav to start growing her hair out etc. engaging more with her femininity now she’s proven herself.#politically a little weird!#not butch by choice i guess? which felt anachronistic if that makes sense#but fun nonetheless#charliemav#I have never seen GI Jane but this seems a lot like that based on my limited knowledge of it tbh#think i relate to mav too much in this one.#I’d like to be taken seriously as a Writer not a woman writer. so i write about men to be taken seriously as a Writer not as a woman writer#feels a lot like mav in this one

Sidekick Gals 11
Now Karen Dale, sidekick to Speed O’Dare Navy Flyer was an assistant worth having, although in truth she was a US government agent whom Speed was tasked with rescuing from a Nazi prison, which certainly raised her capability level. A proficient pilot and navigator, brave and determined to help Speed practically (“Who gave you permission to take all the risks?”), a shrinking violet and perennial damsel in distress, Karen definitely was not. To be fair to Speed, he treats Karen as an equal partner throughout and at no stage attempts to put her in place. In the story featured, Speed and Karen have rescued/captured an Italian fascist officer and a senior Nazi and are taking them to the Mediterranean where they hope Allied shipping will pick them up. In the midst of this the German officer attempts to engineer an escape attempt, despite being gagged by the no-nonsense Karen to shut up his insults directed towards his erstwhile Italian colleague who had agreed to help Speed get past Italian air traffic control. This leads to a near disastrous crash, but Karen and her rescuer save and capture the two enemy officers yet again, showing a commendable sense of humanity. Needless to say their fascist captives do not exhibit any gratitude for their lives being saved later in the story.
I like the flirtatious dialogue between the pair indicating a sexual chemistry, but also mutual respect, unusual in the macho Golden Age. In truth, Karen Dale is probably the most intriguing and fleshed out of the Sidekick Gals I have featured.
Karen appeared in three issues of Tom Mix Commandos Comics between September and November 1942. The stories were illustrated (probably) by Lou Fine. The pages featured appeared in the Speed O’Dare Navy Flyer stories published in Tom Mix Commandos Comics #11 (October 1942) and #12 (November 1942).
