people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

Top Gun 1986 as my whatsapp chat history part 2: electric boogaloo

once again, unfortunately, featuring my ex as slider in image 3

part 1

[towering-book-piles]

Iceman really won it all back in 1986 huh.

Got a trophy and a trophy husband.

[sassenach082]

Is there any part later on in the series you’re excited to write about? Ooh, and the swanky Kazansky-Mitchell backyard with a fire pit. I’m imagining kind of a dreamy beach house (lol) but sometime tells me that Ice’s definitely doing something w that o 10 money

They are LOADED nonnie

As in have a beachfront house in Hawaii loaded (that Ice buys in the early 90s before real estate gets insane)

But yes, their house is VERY swanky and very on-the-nose for an admiral lol and very close to the beach in San Diego

I'm excited to do the Academy years, and also excited for the end of i'll ride. I'm also weirdly excited for the tension in the middle, when Bradley is still growing and DADT is still a thing and they're at different duty stations and how they'll still love each other across thousands of miles. I just love these two idiots.

[sassenach082]

This is based on that one blog who wrote that (hilarious) answer to an ask on whether Mav gets his teeth straightened between Top Gun/TGM and how he does it (LOL Invisalign), but do you have any real headcanons for Rooster’s face scars? I’ve seen some headcanons that are like, he got into a car accident in the Bronco as a teenager (I think this is based on the fact that that’s how Miles Teller got his), he stole Mav’s bike for some reason and crashed it as a teenager, etc, but I was wondering if you’ve got thoughts on it at all?

I'm going AU (from fanon I guess?) and it's going to involve flight school, I think, but I'm not 100% sure yet

[sassenach082]

Mav practically being the only one not to clock Hollywolf is hilarious to me. I choose to believe he’s just incapable of determining when romantic relationships are happening. Like when goose and carole started dating he was like, Oh? You’re STILL not dating?? since he’s been rooting for them forever but then Carole’s like honey, we’ve been dating for three months. The one exception, I think, is Bradley — Mav can read him like a book so once he starts hearing about this hot annoying blonde guy constantly bc Bradley’s complaining he’s like …ohhhhh yeah. that’s something

meanwhile all the flyboys are having flashbacks to the Mav and Ice Shitshow of 1986-1987 and muttering 'not this AGAIN' into their beers

but yes nonnie 100% agree with you

[sassenach082]

The implication that Bradley is a secret nepo baby for so many years because he a) has a different last name so no one thinks he and mav and ice are related and b) he deliberately refers to ice by sir in public (cause he’s a little shit) and like mav is always away blowing up shit so no one sees them interacting publicly and c) he’s incredibly nonspecific about his childhood/adolescence (like he’ll mention having learned to fly as a teenager but not much more than that or he’ll just do the shrugging emoji when someone’s like you KNOW HOW TO FLY A PLANE ALREADY?) on purpose is so so funny

I'm going to have so much fun with this because it's SO FUCKING FUNNY he's going to be the biggest nepo baby ever to nepo baby in the history of the us navy and he's going to be both aware of it and completely dumb about it at the same time because bradley bradshaw is a bit of a himbo but we love him anyway

the flyboys are absolutely making it a drinking game and/or bingo card. or bingo card drinking game. haven't decided yet tbh

[sassenach082]

Question - how do you think Bradley got his callsign? I’ve heard the joke that it was for NSFW reasons, but more seriously, I’ve read headcanons that it’s because he’s an early riser, or that it was actually a childhood nickname he had that happened to stick (instead of, or in addition to Baby Goose) but I’m curious on your thoughts since you actually acknowledge that Navy callsigns aren’t meant to be cool lol (the retcon with Maverick’s callsign, LOL)

Heya nonnie!

Honestly in the bar scene in TG:M he kinda bobs his head a bit like a chicken so I tend to headcanon that. I'm not really sure where he's going to get it in my fic yet I haven't decided!

[sassenach082]

Sassy!!!! Just want you to know, that just seeing you post or reblog something here makes me happy, it's like "yayyy, Sassy is still kicking! Everything is fine!!!"

So yeah, no rush with the new chapter! Take your time!!!

Hey nonnie!! Yep, still here!

[sassenach082]

UPDATE

upside: I am 90% done with the chapter

downside: it's state testing season and I have no life

[tgmrooster]

I don't even care what he's saying, he's just soooo Bradley Bradshaw looking in this clip from 2019 that I had to post it.

[sorchathered]
