Jake loves the tattoos that adorn Bradley's body.

The origami birds that take flight across his shoulder-blades. A goose, a swan, with a rooster gazing up at them.

The stark lines of the missing man formation of four F-14's, three shooting across his chest, with the fourth arcing up to rest over his heart.

No matter how many times Jake's fingers trace the aged lines of the B-25 Mitchell that rests in the crook of his elbow, Bradley won't explain the choice, only murmurs about it being his first, and that he is going to have it covered up.

He never does.

But Jake's favourite, the one his fingers can't stay away from, is the little incomplete hangman figure he comes home with after his last deployment. Five months they spent apart. Five months new ink has been carried on Bradley's hip without Jake's knowledge and investigation. Five months where the spot Jake's hand rests as they settle to sleep has had seven empty spaces for letters. Five months Bradley has waited to play, Sharpie in hand.

Counting the dashes, and even taking note of them being split into groups of 5 and 2, Jake still has to try his callsign first.

"H"

"Not your callsign you egotistical shit." Bradley added a frown on the blank face.

"A"

_A___ __

"J"

"Nope."

"K"

"Are you using your name now?"

"Yes."

"No.

A leg and two eyes added to the tattoo later, Jake is staring more intently at Bradley's hip than he has at any Bandit and then it dawns on him.

MA__Y M_

The smile that stretches across his face hurts. It aches in the best way as he looks up at Bradley, the other pilot's gaze intent on him and not the artwork.

"Yes."

"That's not a letter."

"Still my answer."

Plucking the pen from Bradley's unresisting fingers, Jake fills in the missing Rs and the Y, before adding a big YES across Bradley's lower belly.

Hangman: So, how do you feel about kids?

Rooster: I mean, they're okay. If I saw one I wouldn't throw a rock at it.

Hangman: Why would you throw a rock at a child.

Rooster: I just said I wouldn't.

“Just stay put for once in your life.”

“Ha! A-ah, bet you’d love that, wouldn’t you, Rooster?”

Maverick, slightly drunk: I’m immune to mean and hurtful words because Ice says nice things to me every day and his love protects me.

Rooster: I’m immune to mean and hurtful words because Jake says mean things to me every day so I’m always prepared.

Something about Bradley driving the Bronco with one hand on the wheel and the other on Jake's thigh makes me go absolutely feral

[iprefervillains]

Saw this:

on Pinterest. Now I need someone who knows how to write a hot and heavy kissing scene to write this for hangster.

Please, I beg you. Anyone?

jake & bradley as assorted shitposts i saw on twitter <3

[babybirbb]

i’m slowly losing it, here’s a picrew i made of hangman and rooster o.o

I’m just curious, but what is everyone’s personal head canon to why Hangster broke up? I think it’s universally agreed upon that Bradley and Jake were dating/a thing, but there’s a thousand and one different reasons why and whose fault it was.

Personally I can’t really decide on a concrete reason. General ideas why, but no specific reason. Like I think they were in Top Gun together, but that’s not where they became their thing. At Top Gun is where they met, where they started their rivalry, but in a friendly kinda way. I don’t think they were at each other’s throats but I think they were similar to, if not more friendly than Maverick and Ice. After Top Gun I think is where they became their thing. In TGM bar scene, Phoenix says “well he hasn’t changed a bit” to me means they were around each other for more than just a couple weeks in Top Gun. I think they were stationed somewhere together, and that’s where their friends with benefits started.

But other than that, I can decide where it goes from there, or what the tipping point was. I definitely think it was a group effort in their demise, but how and why I just can’t decide on

Give me your head canons pls

One must imagine Jake Seresin pining so hard after Rooster he ends up listening to One of Your Girls by Troye Sivan on repeat

[newtmas-supremxcy]

Jake's face when he hears "dagger two (aka bradley/rooster) is hit" is exactly the face those soldier's wives have in movies when they get a letter or a another soldier show up on their porch to tell them their husband was killed in action

Some things I found interesting about Rooster and Hangman's helmets in TG:M:

Rooster's helmet has a line crossing out all of the letters- this seems to nod to Hangman's helmet, which is a game of hangman

none of the letters used in the word "rooster" are in the word "hangman" hence why the letters are crossed out.

The font on Hangman's helmet is also pretty cool-

Look familiar?

The font is literally Bradley Hand

You cannot tell me these two do not have a deeper relationship- *cough* exes *cough*

Also- (remember this?)

They had to have had their helmets designed at the same time- I mean COME ON!

Rooster: I'm just saying, sitting on my lap during briefings is unprofessional.

Hangman: Why are you so afraid of loving me?
