I don’t care whether you like rooster teeth or not the idea of deleting 21 years of media should be incredibly concerning

dagger version of this post!! olympic au!!🥇

tried to match their characters/body types to appropriate sports <33

rooster as a fencer, hangman as an equestrian, coyote and hondo as track&field (sprinter and shot put), phoenix and bob as shooters, fanboy as a skateboarder, and payback as a judoka!

heyybesties. so ive been looking into ancient greek lore recently (mostly for hermes) and. the transition from chiton wearing bearded messenger hermes to athletic, chlamys wearing twink hermes is extremely funny to me i had no idea he used to look like that.

anyway hermes looked especially cunty in that second image i wanted to redraw him with my own design but his chlamys is covering his hips too much you cant really tell :(

You know people assume (and like it's their right to do so, its headcanons, etc etc don't come with pitchforks at me) that Bradley's youth queer experience would be very positive given Mav and the implied icemav of it all

But I think instead of making him more open about his sexuality in adulthood (or just unapologetic), it'd give the opposite result

This is to do with that, although he'd see happy queer people (Mav and Ice) behind closed doors, his childhood, mainly in the 80s and 90s, as well as Mav's and Ice's attitudes toward being open about their relationship, would teach him how cruel the world can be and the typical 'better safe than sorry' attitude being queer outside of typical queer spaces brings to many

He could see Mav and Ice love each other very very much, maybe to the point he'd even base his idea of love on them, but he'd also see how much maneuvering would keeping their relationship from the public cost. Sure, there are friends who supported them (flyboys, Carole, etc), but there were also countless people who would destroy their careers and lives if they ever found out (also if Mav ever adopted/fostered him, just suspicions of him being queer could put Bradley back in the system, the way things worked back in the 90s and also given how many fostering agency, even government employed, are christian-lead...)

In the instances someone would come close to discovering it, not only he'd see how distressing it can be but also how much being discovered would cost - whether this is personal safety, job security, respect, etc. And even if the worst didn't come to it, he'd still be left with the foil remarks and hate 'bullying'

As long as DADT was in place, I think he'd be equally if not more careful in comparison to what he had seen while with Mav and/or Ice

If anything I think Jake would have more of the naivety being openly and unashamedly queer takes (whether this is because he grew up in an environment with no visible queer people ergo never saw actual acts of hate toward them, or because he thinks he left the most hateful environment and nothing can be worse than it OR maybe because he is 100% or nothing kind of guy, no matter to what he commits)

doodle from this... they both got blood on them because caboose forgot to take his own helmet off before trying to cpr wash

[teddy06]

Alright top gun fan artists who's taking one for the team and giving Bradley this sign cause lord knows I'm not talented enough

[yeagrave]

Ideas for you:

Bradley's bronco as an autobot?

Bradley tattooed up?

Surfer Bradley?

Older or retired hangster?

Mafia coded hangster?

Younger hangster, maybe when they first meet or like a college au era?

Hopefully one of these sparks your muses to unblock your art!

what relationship from tg/tgm is ur roman empire and why? talk as much as u want i will GLADLY read an essay

SORRY OP YOU ASKED FOR AN ESSAY AND AN ESSAY YOU WILL RECIEVE ....

contrary to what's popular, it’s not icemav... not even close. (please don’t crucify me for this, i promise this is a genuine take and not hate toward the ship!) ice and mav’s dynamic is interesting and we cannot deny the gay subtext—ice is crucial to mav’s character growth, especially in tg86. but in terms of central relationships that drive the heart of the story and mav's character arc? it’s goose and mav, and later, roo and mav, that define both films on a deeper, more emotional level.

bear with me...

mav and goose set the foundation for everything in tg. their bond is the emotional core of the first film—goose is mav's conscience, his anchor. he’s not just a best friend; he’s family. this relationship is central to understanding why goose's death is such a devastating turning point for mav. it’s not just about losing a wingman; it’s about losing a brother, someone who believed in him AND forgave him unconditionally. this loss haunts mav throughout the rest of the movie and even more so in tgm. goose’s death becomes the source of all of mav’s guilt, hesitation, and self-doubt.

fast forward to tgm, and we see how this guilt spills over into his relationship with rooster. mav is torn between wanting to protect goose's son and letting him chart his own path. this tension forms the backbone of tgm's story. roo embodies all of mav's unresolved feelings about goose—the guilt, the sense of responsibility, and ultimately, the need for redemption. it’s this father/son dynamic, not a romantic or rivalry-based connection, that truly drives mav’s emotional arc in both films. the burden he feels for goose’s death is unresolved until he finds some semblance of reconciliation with rooster. the act of trusting rooster and allowing him to 'fly on his own' represents mav’s emotional catharsis atp

the weight of this connection makes it, in my view, the pillar of both films. mav’s growth is tied to his relationships with goose. ice certainly plays a key role in mav's journey—his respect for ice grows over time, and their friendship is a touching subplot—but it’s not the emotional center of the narrative. the top gun series is ultimately about legacy, guilt, and redemption, and in my hUMBLE opinion, those themes are carried by goose and rooster above all. mav’s motivation, his guilt, his need for absolution—all stem from these two relationships.

it’s goose and roo that are at the heart of it all and ILL DIE ON THIS HILL

(if, OP, you actually meant romantic relationship, then I AM SORRYVJAHAHAH (but it's still not icemav...kekeke))

RIP RoosterTeeth your memory will be rose tinted and romanticized despite your Horrors.

Anyways check out the link below the cut for my go-to safe streaming site to go watch every single season and episode of Red vs Blue (this site is also good for pretty much any RT animated original too):

older white men who have to announce how much they prefer college sports over professional sports & obsess over it kinda creep me out idk

[monarchisms]

i wanted to make a (slightly more) proper post to explain why rooster teeth decided to just leave their main twitter up as an archive, but the thing is: i don't know why they did that. almost nobody does!

they just edited their bio and dipped!

funhaus and dogbark's account bios updated to say the same thing, that they're still posting on instagram and tiktok, and the stinky dragon account made a proper tweet about it with the additional social media platforms they're on, but all of these accounts offer no information as to why they're now inactive on twitter. a guess i have is that it's a combination of their engagement numbers just naturally declining over time and the mountain of issues twitter has as a platform, especially after musk took over. however, these are just my personal speculations because rt seems so allergic to sharing anything with their audience lol
