I did a thing ✌🏻

[avianii]

hes not impressed

[slidersbabygirl]

Goose: "Viper?"

Maverick: "You love us right?"

Viper: *not looking up from his desk* "Normally I would say yes without hesitation, but I feel like this is going somewhere I won't like."

[polar-equinoxx]

devastation.

Still more TG and TGM quotes as things my coworkers have said

Bob: "I just hate when they yell at me for something I didn't know about!"

Rooster: "The last time Maverick yelled at me, he started crying."

Bob: "How did you do that?"

Rooster: "I think I said 'You're not my dad' and it broke something deep inside him."

Mav: "I'm only nice to the old ladies because they're just so sweet and only one of them has ever called me a slur."

Viper: "Hey, you have to tell me about this shit because now I have to redo all of this and we're gonna be behind!"

Mav: "Ok, I'm sorry."

Viper, 1 minute later: "I've just been informed you did tell me, and I was having a screaming match with Jester and didn't hear it."

Hangman: "Are you up for softball?"

Rooster: "No, I can't, I got my dates mixed up and had to quit."

Hangman: "... you have dates?"

Rooster: "Yeah, for vacation. Why?"

Hangman: "Oh! Oh, yeah, that makes sense."

Rooster: "Yeah, you idiot."

*five minutes later*

Rooster: "Oh my god does he wanna go out with me?!"

Phoenix: "YES!"

Goose: "Everyone always asks 'Hey Goose can your wife make us lunch too?' And no one ever asks 'Hey Goose would you like a pay raise?' Like, if my wife is making everyone lunch the least I can do is split the money with her."

Slider: "If I have one more shift with the lovebirds and they're eye fucking each other the whole time, I'm gonna quit."

Guys I am clawing at the walls of my enclosure. Guys I am gnawing on the furniture like a rabid beast. I NEED that extra footage of Slider and Viper at Ice's funeral. I don't care if it's barely 5 seconds all together, I need it. I want to inject it into my veins and overanalyze it for 36 hours straight. Guys.

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:

Mav and Viper ❤

[thestarwarslesbian]

Viper to Maverick, who’s about to marry Iceman: Today, two families are becoming one.  Slider, in an ominous voice: Two families enter, one family leaves.  Rooster, worried: That sounds so threatening…  Merlin, with his hands outstretched like a camera frame: The Wedding Games. Iceman, already planning the deaths: May the bouquet toss be ever in your favor. Maverick, whipping a tear of joy from his eye: Beautiful.  Viper, rubbing his forehead: I should have stopped at one.

No wonder everyone wants to go by their callsigns in Top Gun. They all have such generic boring first names: Pete. Tom. Nick. Ron. Mike. Rick. Bill. Sam.

The most exciting name anyone could come up with was Leonard?

[avianii]

pushing my Viper should've been more of a father figure narrative

[alicentsstark]

The 86ers: Maverick, is that legal? Maverick: When Viper isn't around, anything’s legal!

In honor of my lifesize poster of Val Kilmer here's some more music school quotes as incorrect TG and TGM stuff

Ice: "How was your weekend?"

Mav: "Good."

*3 hours later*

Mav: "Today he asked me how my weekend was and I said 'good.' I think I'll marry him."

Goose: "Plants!"

Carole: "Aww, can we go in?"

Goose: "I have like, 20$. That's like, 2 more plant children!"

Slider: "Happy Pride. How is everyone?"

Wolf: "It's October."

Slider: "... Is that not pride? Did someone lie to me?"

Hangman: "What are you again?"

Bob: "A Capricorn."

Hangman: "What country is that?"

Mav: "I love when my equiptment works."

Viper: "What? Did you break something?"

Mav: "Why is that what everyone assumes? I'm extremely loving to all of my stuff. But yes, I completely wrecked it and I'll need another one for tomorrow."

Rooster: "I wrote this next one for a girl I met one time who told me to stop pretending I understood baseball."

Hangman: "... He doesn't understand baseball? I want him. He's such a himbo."

Watched Three Men and a Baby today and all I could think about was Viper, Duke and Jester as Peter, Jack and Michael, respectively.

Like baby Pete being left at these three single Navy pilots' door when they come around for Top Gun (do not ask me about the timelime, I haven't thought much about it yet) with only a little letter that says "Duke, this is our son, Pete. I can't take care of him, so I'm trusting you too. With love, Alicia."

They are freaking out. They don't know what to do, they don't know who to call, they don't know anything. There's a baby in their house and they know nothing about babies. Duke is looking at the poor thing like it might bite at any given moment (even though it doesn't even have teeth yet), Jester is three seconds away from a panic attack and Viper is simply trying to bottle all of this up or, otherwise, he might go crazy.

All they know about this cute pie is that Duke is his father, his mother left him and the smell of his shit could kill a man. They don't know anything else. What does he eat? How does he eat? What does he need? Clothes? Diapers? Baby food? They don't know, but, then, suddenly, they need to know because the baby is crying.

And he is LOUD.

Cue to shenanigans, the trio going crazy with little Pete, their whole Top Gun class falling head over heels for the little baby, Duke falling asleep with baby Pete on his arms and waking up because the kid pulled some hairs of his mustache (he laughs loudly at that, the little shit), Jester parading around with the kid for any ladies to see, Viper being a stressed dad and reading two baby books per hour.

Just baby Pete shenanigans and the dad trio going crazy with him.
