I just watched Twisters and I'm not good guys, every time I close my eyes I see Glen Powell

I didn't know I needed wet Glen Powell that much in my life

going back to see it a second time Tuesday night

I had to hop on this trend eventually and I'm also long overdue for Icemav fanart so this is the product of that

mobile game developer. you have plagued players with misleading ads that forcefully pause their music and automatically take them to the play store when the ad ends. suspended above you is an anvil. there's no trap to escape, i'm just going to drop an anvil on your head.

the duality of Bradley not being able to rely on anyone and Jake not being good with people who need him

something about their different shades of hyper-independence and how it breaks them when they’re young — but how it’s actually a blessing when they’re older, and a tiny bit wiser, and realizing that the way they are aligns well with the breathing room they both want and can give each other

it never feels like Bradley needs Jake, not like that, and Bradley can rely on himself and Jake will be there regardless

it’s the silver lining, the off kilter gift of their relationship in the long run

“do i actually want to do a total 180 and switch career paths to the job these people have in this movie/show i just watched, or do i just want a friend group like that” is a constant thought in my mind

Hi TG Fandom!

So this AU came to me in a dream and I woke up with actual tears so — here we go. 

In the deepest chunks of my cold, dead heart, I believe that even if Ice married Sarah, he still always loved Mav. There were just so many reasons why they couldn't work out long-term: Ice wanted to advance, Mav didn't want to hold him back, the danger of being a gay couple in the ‘80s and ‘90s — let alone in the Navy. 

It just couldn't work out for them. They were trying to protect each other and that meant sacrifices on both ends.

But it doesn't mean they ever stopped loving each other, Ice’s love was shown in saving Mav’s ass time after time, and Mav’s was in being there — always, no matter what Ice needed. 

Mav was there when all three of Ice’s kids were born, his two daughters and his youngest: Tom Kazansky Jr. 

Junior, who only looks more like his namesake with every year that passes. 

Eventually Mav gets shipped to China Lake so he doesn't have to get a front-row seat to Ice dying right in front of them (Ice’s decision of course).

The Mission rolls around, and lo and behold: a Tom Kazansky will always appear to Mav in his time of need. 

But instead of a text — it’s in the form of Junior, a vision of 27-year-old Tom Kazansky, complete with moles and his big ass teeth. 

“Apparently, we’ve got a mission, Maverick.”

Imagine the complete agony of a world where Mav never gets to have the life he deserves with the man he loves, and not only that, but he's surrounded by the living specters of the two men he loved most and lost. 

A world in which he gets to keep a piece of Goose and Ice, but only as a reminder that the Bradshaw and Kazansky on his wings will never be the ones he wants.

Or the flip side, where Mav is the only piece of their fathers that both boys have left and there gets to be a Kazansky-Bradshaw-Mitchell trio in the sky again.

Just me? Okay 😭

(Ice sent Junior out as a Dagger with a promise to: Be His Wingman. Both of them knowing he wasn't going to be there when Junior got back.)

thinking about hangman having a praise kink so when rooster tells him good job repeatedly in debrief after a sortie he gets so turned on he nearly has to excuse himself from the room

and rooster knows exactly what he did and when they finish their debrief he pulls hangman into a closet before they get to the locker room

and he tells hangman how good he was during the sortie and how good he’s been for him lately all from down on his knees

and when rooster works hangman’s flight suit open and fits his mouth over his cock the last words on his lips are “good boy, jake”

and hangman comes so hard he almost has to sit down but rooster drags him to the locker room and eventually home so he can fuck him into the mattress

pls pls pls

I just saw a photo of val kilmer and had to run to tumblr to express my thoughts because this photo gives me such icemav moving into their new house vibes and I can't explain it

The domesticity. The warmth. Mav convincing ice to just stand still for a second or getting him to pose. The soft hair. The glasses. I'm losing my mind

Does Bryon have a role in the Dallas mark and Tex (and Mason) au? The end of TWTTIN always made me so sad knowing that mark didn’t see Bryon as a brother anymore

Bryon could have a role actually, valid point. Idk, I liked Bryon. Not like. A lot. But I liked him alright, and related to him in a few ways that make me slightly uncomfortable tbh, and I feel so bad for him-

I think for this AU, we’ll say Mark still talks to Ponyboy, and separately, Bryon talks to Ponyboy too. Not on purpose, initially, because he’s not the world’s biggest Ponyboy fan- but after Mark runs away to Dally’s place, Bryon’s hit with all the feelings he had in the end of TWTTIN. Only this time, Mark’s not in jail. In fact, Bryon’s pretty sure that that Curtis kid knows where Mark’s hiding- after all, he’s in the same gang as that washed-up hood Dallas Winston who’s always up to something. So Bryon seeks Ponyboy out for info. But then it just turns into like. Talking about his feelings about…everything. He’s kept it bottled up for so long that the second Pony prods him, Bryon just sorta spills.

(Design notes- Bryon’s hair’s grown out cos he’s depressed and not really taking care of himself all that well. Sixteen-year-old Pony’s hair, on the other hand, is long cos all the refs I could find of very slightly older C. Thomas Howell had 80s mullets. And yk what that’s kinda funny so I went with it- let’s just say it’s because after Johnny’s horrible haircut in Windrixville Ponyboy can’t risk letting it get cut so short ever again)

(More au rambling below the cut lol)

So now, essentially Ponyboy’s stuck between his buddy Mark, who complains about Bryon constantly, and Bryon, who is Pony’s girlfriend’s ex, and Pony’s friend’s…ex-brother? And both Bryon and Mark kinda talk to each other through Ponyboy, who’s like an unwilling messenger now. Or like the child of divorced parents, trying his damndest to keep the two from hating each other too much. (Mainly just Mark- Bryon just feels guilty)

If I were to make this au a multi chapter fic, I’d give Mark a running gag of coming up with Dr. Doofenshmirtz-style revenge plans against Bryon and trying to rope Ponyboy, Tex, Mason, and occasionally even Cathy and Angela Shepard into them.

I think Dally would be a Bryon hater cos Dally’s one big moral code is loyalty- honor among thieves, yk- and Bryon betrayed Mark. But Pony and Johnny would sympathize with the guy. Also low key I think Johnny would be a Mark hater

making this meme did not help

there was an ad for top gun on my grandmas tv and all i hear is “i don’t like you because you’re DANGEROUS”

the speed at which i fuckin whipped my head around

[diadotcom]

“it’s not the plane, it’s the pilot”

“exactly”

when i come across this scene in fics and the like ive noticed majority if not all people interpret this as mav saying rooster is a bad pilot. but like i never even thought of it that way…!!! although i reckon 100% rooster himself interpreted it as mav not believing him. but for me ever since i first watched the movie i thought mav was saying “exactly. you’re the pilot, you’re in that plane and it’s you who will not come home when it goes down.”

idk i just think he was trying to say “i care about you too much to let you burn in” or something. meh maybe im wrong and just missed the dig LMFAO

Part three little peak of little life

Part 1 Part 2

"Hangman," Coyote laughed, gripping Jake's shoulders as he gave him a few good shakes. "You lucky son of a bitch! Walking around here like nothing happened, when you've got a damn baby at home!"

Jake chuckled, turning around to face him, though he glanced over his shoulder to make sure the others weren't following. "Keep your voice down, Javy. You trying to let the whole base know?"

Coyote let out another laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "Man, I still can't believe it. Ellie-Mae, huh? I knew you were going soft when you started talking about Y/N, but a baby? That's next-level."

Jake grinned, unable to help himself as the thought of Ellie-Mae filled his mind. "Yeah, well, didn't exactly plan on it, but... here we are."

So, for those who don't know, there is a phenomenon called Chemo Curls where, after your hair falls out due to the chemotherapy, sometimes when it grows back post-treatment, it will have a new significant curl pattern to it even if the patient didn't have curls before

What I'm saying is Iceman has curly hair once he beats cancer and also he has no idea how to handle it for the longest time (Sunny educates him on how to handle curl patterns even tho Sunny has much tighter curls, same principles apply)
