#so many icemav parallels

[ineffablecrisp]

Okay so I've recently become hyperfixated on Top Gun and then yesterday I remembered an episode of My Little Pony in which Rainbow Dash is invited to the Wonderbolt Academy where she and another pegasus hit it off until they're told to fly in pairs and Rainbow Dash is all cocky and confident in her skills that she would be picked as the lead pony until she learns that she's the, uh, wingpony instead

I'm sure there's more Im forgetting but I haven't watched it in a hot second

Why do you think Macheresin isn't as popular as other ships? I see all sorts of random mashings together of people and no Macheresin.

[image description: a gif of snl actor kenan thompson saying, 'you know why.' end image description.]

jokes aside, earlier this year i wrote about how during my last ten years in fandom, i've noticed that ships that pair a white character with another white character they have an antagonistic relationship with (ex. reylo, hangster, floydsin) are almost always more popular than ships that pair a white character with a character of color, particularly a Black character, that they have a close relationship with (ex. finnrey, macheresin). admittedly, the popularity of finnrey/reylo vs macheresin/hangster&floydsin isn't the neatest parallel in the world, as finn and rey were co-protagonists and hangman had a more prominent role in tg:m than coyote, but i digress.

i am not saying everybody who doesn't ship macheresin is racist; people are drawn to what they're drawn to, it's as simple as that. i am saying that i think it's fascinating that those who decry macheresin as a ship and/or claim they have no inspiration to create content featuring their fave (hangman) and his relationship with the one (1) person he's shown in the movie to hold in as high of a regard as he holds himself have absolutely no problem putting out headcanons and fics and meta about how, for instance, hangman and rooster are actually bitter exes and that's why they have such a vitriolic relationship onscreen. equally fascinating is that per the results of my top gun fandom census (results to be posted publicly soon; i still have a lot of data to organize), ships rooted in friendship and trust and respect and camaraderie rather than onscreen antagonism (tg:m icemav, goosemav, goosecarole, phoenix/bob, phoenix/rooster, pennymav, bobster, etc.) are all remarkably popular - so it's not just that tg fandom prefers an enemies to lovers dynamic in their ships above all else. something is just less palatable about This Particular Friends To Lovers Ship. (looks into the camera like i'm on abbott elementary)

so to answer your question, nonny, given the way fandom tends to trend in general, coyote being Black sure doesn't help macheresin's lack of popularity. in fact, there is noticeably not a lot of content for tg ships featuring Black characters (as of 12/8/22, fanback has 76 fics on ao3, macheresin has 47, mavhondo has 5, sundown/mav has 1, mavwarlock has 1, and warclone has 46). but i will add that the fact that a) coyote has the least screentime among the main new kids and we don't get to see as much of his personality as we do, say, hangman or bob or phoenix's, and b) that it's hangman - one of fandom's favorite new characters and one half of Many of fandom's most popular ships - he's being shipped with, does not help macheresin's overall lack of popularity either.

In about four chapters we will see Harvard, Javy and Callie storm in and be like "get in losers, we are going at your wedding"...if not, I'll do it myself.

The chapter was soooooooo good (la la la la, I don't want to hear about possible future complications, la la la la): I love how you built up this crescendo of emotions, first the jolly homely atmosphere, then the more personal and heartfelt confessions about Bradley's past, which Jake took in with a genuine open heart, the slightly sad parallel between the younger couple and the older former couple and that final smut scene!!!! It was practically perfect and I bet my expression whilst reading was a dumb dopey smile, not much different from the one Jake had watching Bradley and Brisket sleeping. Now we just have to wait patiently for Jake to finally connect the billions of dots he has right in front of him and understand he is in fact madly in love with our favourite cook, get with him for good and then godparent trap together Mav and Ice. When Maverick said to Jake he reminded him of himself my only thought was "yes, a dumbass who refuses to accept his feelings just like you"😂😂

I know for a fact it's not going to be that simple -because what's fiction without ✨drama✨- but they finally did something with all this tension they had, so at least for today I'm allowed to dream.

OMG THANK YOU. Ahhhhhhh <3

Jake has all the puzzle pieces, he's just gotta put them together and see the picture!!! He just doesn't understand it's love, and when he gets there....ooh boy. (he might have to figure out his life first, and he's decently on the way there- letting himself love his friends, his team, letting go of some of his trauma, etc and then he's gonna be like oh OH) and Bradley well, stuff to learn about him still too.......... :)

I *think* a lot of people expected icemav to be together which is valid! But I wrote it like this for a reason ;) I was so excited to get to this chap and finally have jake learn a bit cuz I'd been building to it (again on a re-read like the hope is the reader would be like OH about some stuff that maybe didn't seem important before or take on new meaning). ANYWAYS Jake is like Mav in so many ways for real. And godparent trapping....it's funny you say that ;)

Anyways thank you <3 That feeling when someone gets what I'm trying to do:

[mavspeed]

hiii I just read ur little bartender mav ghost goose and ice-carole sibling era fic and !!!!!!!! i love it !!! the way mav was initially so against helping goose but he saw little Bradley and ice and the drawings bradley left and the way he knewww how it felt to lose his parents and went "fuck i have to help this hawaiien shirt ghost navy man with a very hot brother in law now don't i."

ALSO the interactions between mav and ice !!!! mav calling out ice when he literally is the same and ice calling him a hypocrite in his head im _(:3 」∠)_ its so good im !!!!! thank u for writing this !! <3 (this is a mess i know but im in love with ur writing style and u deserve to know that !!!! so. thank u <3)

ps also when r u updating again,,,, no pressure ofc but im desperate i fear TT

I came to this after a hellish hellish HELLISH HELLISH HELLISH (how many times should I say it to emphasise how bad it was) day at work so this actually, for real, meant so much to me thank you sweet anon 🥺🥺🥺

I absolutely did the mav getting bewitched by bradley thing on purpose bc I just think them being parallels of each other is so so interesting to ME so thank you for liking it, truly! also THANK YEW for liking the icemav dynamic!! i was so nervous about going in a sort of different direction than the usual style of enemies to lovers sitch (and not making mav a pilot which feels like blasphemy tbh) so to know you like it truly feels great!!

ALSOOO you’re in luck I plan to post the next chapter tomorrow night and it’s a motherLOAD of a chapter. I was debating splitting it up then realised I was way too exhausted to figure out where the fuck to cut it at. this fic will have a regular posting schedule btw, each chapter every weekend unless something earth shattering occurs

🥚 Any easter eggs you put in a fic that you hoped people would notice?

scattering easter eggs and callbacks into my fics is one of my fave things to do :D in my robisanya fic I Know I'm Home, i tried to put in So Many Parallels to s1 and s2 and references to my other fandoms, and most of them got noticed! my fave parallel in that fic to earlier seasons of ted lasso was in ch3 when that teenager came up to sam and dani on their date and asked them for an ussie, but either no one noticed that or just didn't comment on it, rip.
