Icemav, Maverick, Maybe some goose

[princessprotectorhornet]

Not to Top Gun post on main, but Tom Cruise said that the third movie is gonna be rough for Maverick and man. Is Maverick just his oc he likes to put in the blender

im such a larper bro i only just now realized the only time Ice ever calls Maverick “Mitchell” is the locker scene where Mav is packing his stuff to go to the airport Dude this adds so much oh mu goodness you have no idea

[maverickman]

Op I would love to know your thought so I’m gonna share my own!! I like to think it’s ice’s way of showing Mav he sees him as a person not just a pilot. Yes, Maverick is a talented navy pilot, but MITCHELL, Pete Mitchell, is a real person who really cared about and lost Nick “Goose” Bradshaw.

On the flip side, I think that Mav tensing up when Ice speaks is less a response to Ice himself and more a response to being called Mitchell because it is both a) a reminder he is human which makes it harder to distance himself from grief and b) his fathers name, a shadow that he has tried to escape and why he prefers to introduce himself as “Maverick” (I.e. the O club when he introduces himself to Charlie).

DUDE WE ARE ALIENS PUTTING HEADS TOGETHER PICTURE!!! I AGREE SO MUCH OH EM GEE!!!

It gives much more depth with the relationship between Ice and Mav, its so great. Ice takes the step. We can tell he’s uncomfortable, pausing and having to think about what to say. Its a puncture in the mask that Tom acquired: “ice cold, no mistakes”

It shows he cares enough to reach out. To give his apologies and sympathy. To once again show Mav that — despite their pissing contest — theyre on the same team. Its so significant because, while everyone is trying to get Mav up in the air and moving on, Ice solidifies that the loss of Goose matters. That it happened and it’s going to suck and Mav is not just someone reckless the Navy tolerates, but a person that lost a brother. And the scene proves that Ice is there if Mav needs him. If he doesnt? Ice gives him space.

‘Maverick’ is a title. A manifestation of his audacious nature and snark. And when Goose dies, it all goes away. Mav turns indecisive and small in comparison to his “larger than life” attitude. So when Ice calls him ‘Mitchell’, it almost verifies that Maverick is allowed to be something other than ‘Maverick.’ Hes allowed to feel that loss.

okay thats it, i mightve just been saying the same stuff over and over but whatever i dont care ✌️🥹

ice ditched talking to that pretty woman at the bar who was clearly into him in order to get up in mav’s face and peacock about piloting skills instead. Can you even call it closeted behavior when it’s this obvious

Coffee after a morning run.

Ice thinks, and thinks, and hums while he thinks. There is a question he wants to ask, but that terrifies him. “Mav,” his voice cracks, “do you want pups?”

“Yeah, eventually.” Maverick’s answer is quick.

I’m on a writing kick. New chapter tonight maybe

[gaypilotszone]

somebody should write icemav taking Bradley to the aquarium ❤️‍🩹 bc why not

[maverickman]

A stray cat wanders into the airplane hangar one night and Maverick tries to shoo it away. After a few days he puts out food for it. He never lets it inside his trailer, but it’s nice company when he’s working on planes or his bike and keeps mice away to earn its keep

ice really tries to leave rank at the door but you know mav exploits the shit out of the title - it only gets worse when ice makes SECNAV
