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."

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."

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.

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.

(Viper invites Iceman to sit in on a meeting between Viper and other CO's) Viper: You'll have to take notes. Do you think you can keep up? Iceman(smugly): Let's just say I was president of the Stenographer's Club in high school for a reason. Maverick: Was that reason because you were the only member? Iceman:.....Yes.

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 ❤

SO I JUST HEARD SOMETHING AND I GOTYA YAP ABOUT IT! These two fighter pilots I watch on YouTube made a Top Gun 3 speculation video and their guest they invited on (a friend of theirs) came up with the idea that IT SHOULD BE A PREQUEL AND TOM CRUISE SHOULD PLAY MAVERICKS DAD.

(Like yes I desperately want some Hangster content and old retired Maverick doing cool shit with his adopted kids but like) HOW COOL WOULD IT BE TO GET A DUKE AND MIKE ADVENTURE MOVIE WHERE THEY SHOW THE ORIGINS OF THE TOP GUN PROGRAM AND WE GET TO SEE THEM AS YOUNG HOTSHOT F-4 PILOTS LIKE PLEASE

Plus putting the actual origin story into the movies to further educate people on how and why Top Gun was created (and why it’s called top gun, fun fact it has to do with having guns on their planes and the fact that it was an ACM school to teach BFM with guns to learn how to rely on them more since back then they were having targeting system reliability issues with missiles) AND SINCE THEY SAID VIPER WAS THE FIRST TO WIN THE “TOP GUN TROPHY” THAT WOULD LOWKEY BE SO COOL TO SEE.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk 🫶🏼💙

also here’s the video if you’re interested! https://youtu.be/3H4jE4Y20jw?si=RLFoJkMUxyV9WrlJ

Music school TG and TGM quotes GO!

Mav: "I might email him."

Ice: "No way he's awake right now. You shouldn't even be awake right now.

Mav: "Too late. I sent it."

*five minutes later*

Mav: "Holy shit, Viper replied! God this man needs a vacation.

Goose: "I miss my wife. I tried calling but she's definitely asleep."

Mav: "Yeah yeah, you two are adorable, I love you both dearly, now help me microwave these gummy bears to put in Slider's pillow."

Rooster: "I forgot to tell you, but I can't make it tonight."

Hangman: "Hot date?"

Rooster: "Funeral."

Wolf: "Don't talk about Subarus like that, it gets me all hot and bothered."

Mav: "Subarus?! That's your standard?"

Phoenix: "Look at us. Two pals, hanging out, watching the stars."

Bob: "It's 2 pm."

Phoenix: "I have a concussion."

Hangman: "Hey- OH MY GOD"

Rooster: "What?!"

Hangman: "Oh, sorry, I just haven't seen you in so long I forgot how ugly you are."

Coyote: "Kiss."

Phoenix: "Kiss him."

Ice: "Want anything? Tylenol? Guaze?"

Mav: "Stop it, I'm fine! It's not as bad as it looks."

Ice: "You fell off a motorized vehicle and now your whole arm is covered in road rash."

Mav: "'Motorized Vehicle' makes it sound much cooler than 'Maverick was going 20 mph on an electric scooter and ate shit on the sidewalk', so thanks for that."

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

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