If staff reformed the ban system to stop banning trans women and used the resulting good will to re-introduce pornography, this site would become a juggernaut. It would swallow Twitter whole.

The next Top Gun movie should start with Jake "Hangman" Seresin shoving Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw into a wall, and the audience initially thinks they're about to have a fight, and then they start making out. They show Hangman shirtless and we see that there's a ring alongside his dog tags.

The next scene is the both of them at The Hard Deck, and you realise this is a flashback scene and that Jake and Bradley had been married the entirety of Top Gun: Maverick.

Then we jump to the present. Maverick and Hangman are sitting across from each other at a dining table in a nice, but incredibly dated kitchen. There is a very palpable, awkward silence. Maverick comments that the house looks exactly the same as it did in the 90s, and Hangman replies that Bradley is allergic to change and modernity. "It'll look like this 309 years from now." Then they lapse into awkward silence again.

They hear the door opening, and Bradley, Penny and Amelia come through the door with groceries. Both of them are visibly relieved by the return of their respective partners, who are chatting happily together.

Slider (Giving Phoenix tips on how to handle Hangster with his stories of Icemav): They’d walk around during the day too. But then there was the bite of ‘86

Phoenix: THE BITE?!

Slider: Yeah…

Hangman, half passed out in hospital bed: My boyfriend will get upset if he sees you touching me like that.

Rooster: I'm your boyfriend

I can’t get enough of the popular fandom notion that Rooster is a human furnace - he runs so hot he can run around in jorts and a tank top with snow on the ground. And then there’s Jake, who starts shivering the minute it gets below 70 degrees, but he’s got to be a tough macho guy (like Rooster!) so he never brings a jacket with him, either. So Bradley, being the protector of the group, starts carrying a few of his own hoodies in the Bronco “just in case someone needs one” (he starts this even before they figure out their feelings for each other).

Sitting in Mav’s back yard during a BBQ after the sun goes down and it gets a little breezy? “Here Jake, don’t be stupid, put this on. I can hear your teeth chattering from across the deck.” At a carnival at night, and Jake’s a little sunburned from a day at the beach? He’s got goosebumps on his goosebumps and can’t stop shivering, until Bradley drapes a big, soft hoodie around his shoulders, and its so warm from baking in his Bronco all day that Jake just sighs and melts into it.

So yeah, everybody just gets kind of used to seeing Jake wearing Bradley’s hoodies everywhere. His old college sports hoodies or Navy hoodies, all with BRADSHAW or ROOSTER written in block letters across his shoulders.

Maybe the sight drives Bradley a little bit crazy, even when they aren’t “together” together. Maybe seeing his name branding Jake as his own, seeing him a bit swamped in them because they’re slightly too big for him, starts a slow-burning smolder in his core that he doesn’t know exactly what to do with. Maybe his hands get sore from where they clench so hard to keep from reaching out to grab something that isn’t his (yet), even if its quite literally got his name on it. Maybe his eyes track that name bobbing and weaving in amongst the crowd, and he feels even hotter than he usually does, because that’s HIS name, HIS claim.

And maybe Jake can feel those eyes on him. Maybe he shivers just a little bit more noticeably when Roo is around, so Bradley will inevitably go and get a hoodie, and shoves it into his arms, because even chivalrous he’s got to be a little bit of a jackass, and now he’s got an excuse to wear that name on his body. Maybe it sends a thrill down his spine when people mistakenly call him “Bradshaw”.

Maybe it sends a thrill down Bradley’s spine when he hears that, too.

Maybe, when they’re all lying around together watching a movie, Jake sidles up to Bradley closer than he normally would “because you’re a freaking furnace and I’m cold, deal with it Bradshaw,” and Bradley “deals with it” by stealing an arm around his shoulders with a deep, put-upon sigh and the barest beginnings of a grin that he can’t seem to control.

And maybe the Daggers and the 86 boys roll their eyes (affectionately) at these two insufferable idiots who aren’t quite as subtle as they think they’re being.

^ “You’re warm and I’m cold. Shut up and cuddle me, Bradshaw.”

i read the script and i swear this is what it said

Watching TG86 and TGM on the big screen today made me realize something….

In TGM when Mav is at the bar and hangman winks at him and calls him “pops”. Pete looks so taken aback because he’s probably like-

It’s like looking in a fucked up mirror….

And Ice absolutely warned him about Hangman, Tom was probably like “HES JUST LIKE YOU HE’LL PROBABLY BE YOUR FAVORITE”

I found out many in the core fandom think Miles Teller was giving nothing as Rooster and gave a bad performance. Especially when it came to his chemistry with Glen Powell as Hangman. They wanted icemav's electrifying chemistry that jumped out to bite you. And I understand them but I was shocked when I saw people saying this because to me the appeal of Rooster, and by consequence hangster, lies in how repressed Mile's portrayal of Rooster is.

If Miles didn't make those acting choices I wouldn't find his character compelling. His Rooster has braggadocio in spades. Someone who walks with the arrogance of a guy who's hung and can back it up. Literally walked into that bar dick first (pussy facing the world lol). The guy that sees a piano at a bar and decides to be the center of attention and is comfortable swimming in it. Who barks back at someone like Hangman.

But at the core of him he's so tightly wound up. Rooster is the kind of guy who models his whole life after his dead father but tells very few or nobody about said father. He tries so hard to stay cool and seem unaffected but he breaks under pressure and can't help but bleed open. Juxtapose that with Glen's character choices for Hangman. His Hangman is an expressive, charismatic rage baiter/troll and he does it well. He's more dramatic in his presentation but he never breaks. He provokes people on purpose and you can tell he's experienced and skilled at it because when Rooster bites Hangman never takes the bait. He stays cool as ice and keeps instigating.

I don't necessarily think people are wrong about Miles Teller "giving nothing" while Glen Powell is giving it his all. But that's exactly why I like it. Without Miles making those character choices hangster wouldn't work for me. The dichotomy between Glen's Hangman and Miles' Rooster is exactly why I like hangster.

They are tgm's icemav but Rooster is very different from Iceman and Maverick. Which is why I think Rooster has elements of Iceman and Maverick and Hangman has elements of Iceman and Maverick too but that's another topic. Iceman can stay cool easily. Maverick takes the bait, barks and bites back without spilling his guts out. But Rooster can't. He tries though. His knuckles are busted from how hard he's trying.

These are just my opinions of course.

jake being a simp AND an arrogant dick is my lifeblood. he and bradley kiss and bradley will just feel jake smirking against his mouth because the man's smug as FUCK about bagging him. everyone and their mum knows about them because every second word out of hangman's mouth is about his boyfriend, but not in the normal doting boyfriend way. it's this weird mix of STILL pulling bradleys pigtails and needing to remind everyone that bradley is HIS. he's literally like "yeah, don't know how my boyfriend even won top gun, slower than a turtle" but everyone knows the important bits are MY BOYFRIEND and secondarily WON TOP GUN.
