This is the exact moment Hangman saw Rooster for the first time in the movie:

It literally looks like a porn intro

The way he bit his lower lip

Update: after further checking, it's Glen but just sounded different for that specific sentence 😅 thanks to the people chiming in 🥰

Was rewatching TGM, for the hundredth time, and just found something interesting.

When Jake called Javy to check out the picture of the flyboys on the wall ("Yo Coyote take a look at this"), it did not sound like Glen but Danny speaking? Time stamp is around 44 min 24 sec

Am I hallucinating or does anyone know if it's actually Danny 🥹🥹🥹

[nonscathingbullets]

Just a lil thing I made 😌

[qualityfuntales]

We've been here the whole time

[qualityfuntales]

a thought/ headcanon just made me cry

Ice texted Slider "it was nice flying with you" the day before he passed because he knew he didn't have much time left.

i am sobbing hard.

[qualityfuntales]

ok next time when I'm asked what's my favorite romcom I'm gonna say Top Gun.

Sort of have a hangster au fic idea after knowing that Glen learned violin as a kid. These are the things I can think of now but I can already feel there's gonna be a lot of ANGST.

Both Jake and Bradley were trained classically, one on violin and another on piano, since age 3.

They met each other a few times at competitions when they were young (around elementary). Jake saw Bradley's performance a few times because his sister plays piano.

They're both good but while Bradley always got first places, Jake was always around second or third.

Bradley had to give up piano around middle school (for a traumatic reason that I haven't think of), and Jake started improving tremendously around age 10 and became a famous soloist.

Years later, they run into each other at a local bar in San Diego where Bradley would perform every two weeks, just for fun. But now he plays jazz (not saying that Jazz is not great, but Bradley still loves classical piano).

Bradley's job is tuning pianos. He couldn't continue playing it but still want to be close to the instrument that he loves, and his dad loved.

Jake thinks Bradley should start playing again, professionally, while Bradley thinks he's job works just fine.

exactly

Jake doesn't think that he's a groomzilla but just a groom who pays EXTRA attention to details. He wants the best for both Bradley and himself.

Bradley, on the other hand, had to constantly reassure Jake that everything is just gonna be ok. He just wants Jake to not fire their 3rd wedding planner.

Also, Jake did a 30 min photo shoot when he was getting ready for the wedding. Of course he did tip the photographer well. He's not a monster.

I SCREAMED SO HARD MY THROAT HURTS

[bluestareyedweakness]

Slider's face in this photo needs more appreciation.

He's just so done with them both and regretting every single life decision he has ever made, especially being friends with one Tom "Iceman" Kazansky.

[qualityfuntales]

and Chipper just happened to be there

The benefit of rewatching TG86 is finding more details making icemav canon.

After Ice and Mav exchanged their vows approval of each other back on the deck, Mav started hugging all the other flyboys. The camera focused on Ice's expression for another 3-4 seconds.

Ice was having this big smile on his face but quickly shifted to this possessive look. His eyes followed Mav.

I'm going crazy for these two.

[qualityfuntales]

I just saw an interview with the Eternity cast, and the interviewer asked "what's your favorite TV show that you can watch for eternity and never get tired of?"

Miles' answer was baseball.

My mind immediately went off to oh the reason why that would also be Bradley's answer is because his favorite memories were playing catch with Goose then with Mav after Goose passed. He would just put games on to try to hold on to those connections and memories since he moved out of Mav's house after he pulled his paper.

I guess I just like to hurt my own feelings 🫠

[qualityfuntales]

Ever since Bradley and Jake started sharing their wardrobe, the way Bradley dresses has been making Jake giddy. He starts to believe that he's the luckiest man alive.

Of course, Jake still doesn't know how to feel about the Hawaiian shirts. He's only sure that he's never gonna wear them.

Kind of bummed that the Top Gun fandom has got some puritanical bullies in here now. We’ve all got our own opinions and views about characters, but I thought this fandom was one of the only ones I’ve been in that was filled with mature, “live and let live” fans.

Fic writers can’t please everyone. But you know what? There’s this really great function that all fics have called the BACK BUTTON. If you don’t like a story or how a character is portrayed, then click out of it and find another one more your speed. Don’t come after writers who freaking love this fandom enough to spend their free time writing fiction for us to consume. It’s truly disheartening.

Fiction exists for a reason. It’s fiction. It’s not real. We can make these characters into anything we can possibly imagine, and the great news is that there’s something for EVERYONE to enjoy in fanfiction. Stop shaming others in here for their takes on fictional characters. Nobody is forcing you to read anything.

Come on, guys. This is really silly. Most of us in this fandom are too old for schoolyard bullying. You can have your own opinions about something without shaming and attacking others for theirs.

What I like about fandom sometimes is reading different writers approaching the characters’ life stories and personalities differently. That sort of helps me build my own version of the characters in mind. I find that quite fascinating.

It baffles me that people would just bully creators/ writers just because the characters are not portrayed the way THEY imagined. Don’t be so self centered to think that people write for you or to please you.
