#if you have pics of the grease pencil writings please send them my way!!! they’re so hard to find

Made this on an alt, I hope you don't mind (my friends would never let me live it down 💀)

Anyway, We've talked about how Iceman is always seen with his glasses, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PEN?

Also, don't even get me started about that mess of a locker. YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE CLEAN ONE, this isn't you, bbg

And lastly, a little ice pick for you because I have never seen anyone post it around here

I had this typed up but tumblr deleted it :(

I don’t think the mess would be Iceman’s, he gives me too much neat vibes. Slider? I could see it. In a locker room full of men it’s impossible to keep the room clean, so I bet his locker-neighbors stuff gets over into his area a little bit.

But yes👏👏 the pen!!

I love the pen because it reminds me of the grease pencils aviators would carry with them when the F-14 Tomcat began dropping bombs, so obviously Ice isn’t carrying one because the Tomcat didn’t drop bombs until the 90s, but I still love the idea of it.

When F-14s began training for bombing missions, they would train with tons of other aircraft of different types with all different munitions and requirements and things to keep track of. Like how much fuel does everyone have left because most aircraft don’t have the Tomcat’s endurance and how much munitions are they actually permitted to use and such. So to keep track, Tomcat pilots would use grease pencils to write on the inside of their canopy because they had SO much canopy to work with unlike other aircraft.

Obviously there were shenanigans sometimes :D
