i saw your reblog and ngl watching top gun again the other week had me lowkeying thinking about p2 going on and on about mav and goose. like i know i reblogged a bunch of things about goosemav (my otppppp) and how their relationship is the thread running through both movies and how when i left the theater the kids aren't alright came on my car and jesus idk but there's something so crazy about comparing each other's as goose and mav but always thinking the other is mav and they're goose (the sacrificial figure for the other that gets immortalized vs the guy who puts on the mask but is secretly hurting and can't move on with his life bc he's missing his other half) and the stuck in the jet wash of it all (the thing that killed goose!!!) and truly idk where im going with this besides there's something insane about this
also that i wanna ask p2 what they thought of top gun maverick
Daeluin! I'm so sorry this took me so long to get to, life got buuuuussyyyyy. I'm going to preface this by saying I have not seen top gun maverick but I have been enjoying your various reblogs of it! And I neeeeeed to watch it now.
Yea YEA the top gun p2 stuff is so crazy from so many angles and it is one of their top p2....things.....imo.
First off we knoooow connecting via 80s movie quotes is one of their love languages and the fact they pick top gun which famously blurs the lines of platonic and romantic love (at least as much as one could with a movie on the 80s). Then the sheer prevalence of making top gun references starting late ioh and all through folie. From Patrick playing the theme song on stage while they killed time and Pete quoting the "carnal knowledge of a woman" scene which is, SCREAM, very gay!
And then THEN for Patrick to quote THAT line at Pete's wedding is honestly completely insane, especially when they both thought they were sacrificing themselves for the other....Patrick feeling like he was losing Pete and needed to let him go versus Pete feeling like he had to marry Ashlee given, well the circumstances. It's really like omg you can't make shit this fatalist and poetic up, they were just fucking doing it! Not to mention the similarities to Romeo and Juliet and *gestures wildly* everything with that.
AND the kids aren't alright the cherry on top of the whole thing. The way ab/ap is clearly THEE reflection on the hiatus album and Pete basically said so himself in interviews . He could have left things more ambiguous and open to interpretation but using the "stuck in the jet wash" line postH when they were constantly saying "ice fire or clear" to each other preH is crazy. PreH it was very, fire or clear, what are you going to do, make a decision, hurry there isn't time, we're going to die if you don't decide. Fire or clear, you can only choose one, choose wisely. And then using stuck in the jet wash in postH, saying, yea I really lost you during that time, I made the wrong move and I thought I'd lost you forever. When you look at the p2 timeline framed within the plot and implications of their use of those key phrases it's truly wow and speaks SO clearly to their emotions. Using 'stuck in the jet wash' is the definitive clear through line linking ab/ap to folie and the hiatus and everything p2 went through together, the smoking gun.
Like one of my favorite Pete quotes referencing the ladybird movie "oh man I didn't hide anywhere". Pete never really hides himself well in his lyrics when you know where to look.
