most entertaining thing I read today lmao

So, even when Ice is promoted out of flying full time, he's still going to have to retain his classification as a pilot, at least for a few ranks. To do this, he is going to have to book so many hours in the cockpit a year. Which means that Ice will, most likely, be trained on the Super Hornet when the Navy retires the Tomcat.

What I like to imagine: Ice, in his 40s with at least two stars, attending a flight school refresher to learn the F/A-18, along with mostly young punks. Ice doesn't say anything; he's the ranking officer in the classroom, but he asks the instructors to just sit on that information. The kids think it's funny he's in there, call him Pops, ask him how he's going to keep up with them. Ice doesn't say anything.

They're about to go up for their first more complicated maneuvers, and everyone's suiting up. The instructor passes Ice and a few other students in the hangar, and says, "Hey, go easy on them."

The kids laugh. Say they can't make any promises.

Instructor looks at them over the top of his sunglasses. "I wasn't talking to you."

The military term for what happens next is rapid dominance. None of the kids ever make fun of Ice ever again.

🎄Hangster Christmas Vacation

[Click for better quality, reblogs and tags highly appreciated]

Merry Christmas and happy holidays everyone! Here's a massive piece I've spent the last while working on of Jake and Bradley taking a vacation to some snowy mountains together and renting out a little cabin for the holidays. This is a shot of them waking up early for a coffee and a morning view.

Bonus: close ups, lineart and wip shots!

Iceman and Maverick taking baby goose to see Santa at the mall.

Santa (looks at Icemav): Have you young men ever used any bad words like “Bah” or “Humbug”?

Bradley (gesturing to Ice): He’s used “for fuck sake”!

Camera turns to Maverick who’s struggling to breathe on the floor due to his abundant laughter.

There's been a military satellite dedicated solely to tracking Ice's man since his promotion to Admiral

Mav: I have an idea. Ice: A good one? Mav: Let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

[topgunruinedme]

Ice: we were in a prank war? Is that why my socks kept going missing and I kept finding you nakard in my backyard?

Mav: yes???? It was all for the joke.

Ice: I’m in love with you. Mav: We called off the prank war last night at midnight, dork. Ice: I know. Mav: Ah. Okay. Um. Cool. Neat. Very cool. Cool. Cool. Coolcoolcool-

(LOOK GUYS! I DID A CHRISTMAS! 🎄)

“It was December 24th, 19 —”

“—86.” Maverick finishes, with a look of such absolute crushing grief on his face that all Jake can do is gather his stuff and leave as fast as humanly possible, even as his boss begs him to stay, practically tripping over his own feet to beat him to the door. But Jake is fast for a heart patient and he's out of that room lickety-split.

He just needed to know for sure, to know for sure that it was the same Bradshaw — that Bradley really is the son of his donor.

That his heart, unlike his love life, isn’t totally and irrevocably fucked.

(Thirty years ago, Jake Seresin got a heart).

Phoenix: Do you ever want to talk about your emotions, Rooster? Rooster: …No. Bob: I do! Phoenix: I know, Bob. Bob: I’m sad! Phoenix: I know, Bob.

this note on mav’s wiki page is taking me out. i guess whoever wrote it wanted to point it out as an overlooked issue with the movie’s realism, but it just makes me think once again about what kind of favors ice has been calling in for mav for the last three decades.

like imagine ice swallowing his pride as he explains to the secretary of the navy and defense secretary exactly why pete mitchell should get such special treatment (something he wouldn’t have done when they first met even if his life depended on it). and after he’s been questioned to hell and back and it’s finally agreed that pete will be able to stay on active duty, ice gets up, leaves the meeting room, and smiles like an idiot as he calls the love of his life and gives him the news.

“they signed off on it, pete. you get to stay in.”

“no fucking way! what did you say to make them say yes?”

“i’m not sure. i didn’t know what would be convincing, but i guess they liked what they heard. or maybe it was just luck.”

“oh, it wasn’t luck baby. it was all you. now get your ass home so i can thank you properly.”

to add to this:

the maverick in tg:m has really grown into that confidence, and become a lot more comfortable with who he is, simply by measure of having thirty more years of experience. he no longer has the need to prove he's the best: he is. he knows he is, and he's shown that he is, repeatedly. and other people now recognize that, however begrudgingly. he's the poster boy of "fake it 'til you make it"

granted, he is still struggling with some aspects of his identity, like the "i'm not a teacher" bit, even though he is demonstrably a good teacher.

Not to start yapping randomly but I think there is something to be said on how certain fandom characterization of Maverick ignores the depth in his character and boils him down to a reckless, chaotic man who is very infantilized despite of him being A Grown Man. And this is largely because people buy Maverick's facade. There was a very good passage in 'Tom Cruise: Anatomy of an Actor' by Amy Nicholson where she talks about how Cruise in 1986 was portraying a man (Maverick) who himself is playing the part of a cocky man. He does not have an abundance of reckless confidence, it's an act, one that unravels when you look at his moments of vulnerability (ex. the nighttime scene with Goose). This facade is also much mellower in Top Gun: Maverick as Mav has aged, so it's actually really interesting how some people tend to lean back on TG86!Maverick's mask when characterizing him. Some things to think about

Top Gun Silliness

[military-newsboys]

Mav: Hey, can we stay in your room tonight? Ice: Why? Mav: We were playing with an ouija board and cursed ours. Mav: Goose doesn't know how to banish spirits, so he just threw salt at them and yelled “DOES THIS LOOK LIKE A HOTEL TO YOU?!"
