Give me widower Mav who has come to terms with his husband’s death and now gets to make jokes and comments about it which makes people uncomfortable while he finds it hilarious pls

As someone who lost their father a long time ago I have reached that point where I can make jokes and comments and like to my close friends it’s funny but to someone I don’t know it’s… strange cause they don’t know how to react and it’s truly a small moment of absolute joy cause they make it weirder than it needs to be

Here is what I mean:

Fanboy: Hi Mav! I like your hoodie!

Mav: thanks, it belonged to my dead husband

Fanboy:

Mav: he’s not gonna use it so

…

Hangman, pointing at the ring on Mav’s dog tags: you’re married?

Mav: I was, but sadly he died on a terrible accident

Hangman: oh I’m sorry—

Mav: I’m kidding, he didn’t die on an accident

Hangman: oh thank god I thought I—

Mav: he died of cancer

…

Mav: my husband used to hate this movie

Phoenix: what made him change his mind?

Mav: oh he didn’t, he just died

…

Mav: I miss my husband

Coyote: why, where is he?

Mav: I want to say heaven but he was a weird man so honestly I don’t know

…

Cyclone: Maverick where is the paperwork I asked for

Mav: oh I’m sorry? I was mourning the death of my husband, in case you hadn’t noticed, the audacity, I cannot believe you would come for a widower like this—

#im sorry Ice but that bite was a one way ticket to hell #cheer up tho your little freak husband will join you soon #top gun #icemav #tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #dead loved one that gives you trauma but also the ability to make jokes about it and be that weird person of the group #thanks dad #for the humor as a coping mechanism not the trauma #Mav and the hoodie is me with any of my dads stuff #literally I kept his shirts and watched cause they were pretty but when people ask me I gotta explain

Mav and Ice's socks drawer is split perfectly in half: white or black ones on the right side, and colourful pairs with drawings of all kinds on the left. Nobody ever believes Mav when he says his side is the one on the right.

#tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #listen listen let this man have a lil fun like fuck he has to wear white socks? fuck it twice he likes his own bc they're soft and fun #and yeah seriously who would even have the courage to go and ask to iceman kazansky to show them his socks to check if they are regulatory? #sometimes mav puts them on when he doesn't have any on his side and they almost feel funny bc they're almost to big for him and /so soft/ #he can totally understand why his husband likes them that much #he and slider have an annual bet on who is going to get him the best pair until baby goose doesn't start to buy them too #it's the end of the line but they're pretty okay with it #married icemav #domestic icemav #top gun (1986) #otp: things get old our love is gold

the 'didn't know they were dating' trope with hangster but hangman knew the whole time he was just waiting to see how long it'll take rooster to notice. he wanted to check how stupid his future husband was.

the answer is - very

#hangster #sereshaw #hangman #rooster #rooster x hangman #rooster is very pretty and very oblivious #he gets it from his godfather mav

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.

Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.

Monday: Busy street at rush hour

Tuesday: Train station

Wednesday: Construction site

Thursday: Bike path next to train line

Friday: Outside a coffee shop

Saturday: Baby hike in the wild

She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:

✅ Sleeping through the night

✅ Name recognition

✅ Basic training skills

✅ Recovering from being startled

✅ Being crated quietly

Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜

Areas for improvement for the week include:

✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)

✴ Demand barking and overall noise level

✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment

Our biggest victories this week include:

🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm

🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions

Our big goals for next week:

🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone

🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking

Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜

#dogblr #rory borealis #about aurora #she is snuggling really really well without biting me #and she 'asked' for a training session the other night which was soooo sweet #i want to take her on the train today #and i want to take her to see some blow up xmas ornaments before theyre put away for the year #i would love for her to stop barking #but im remembering how loud mav was and he grew out of it pretty quickly #so im hoping she grows out of it as well #the conditioning class is pretty cool! #its for dogs 8 weeks to 8 months #conditioning is a weak spot of mine - i dont know enough to work through it on my own #so i think this was a great purchase #im excited to work through it this winter #i feel like if any dog can use more body awareness and core strength its probably a brittany #this photo is from last week by the way we have like no snow left

So one of the things that made me cry (and laugh) the most, when reading the whole series was in Debriefing when Ice has surgery and Mav kisses him on the forehead, then Ice types out “I am cured” with like no punctuation. (Because of course Ice is the punctuation man 99% of the time.)

One, Ice is actually so fucking funny with the “I am cured.” Like no one would believe how funny he actually is. (And I headcanon that Mav knows this, of course, but almost no one else believes him. Which drives him up the wall.) Two, that exchange was so simple but so loving??? Foaming at the mouth here. Especially after those crazy 30 years. So my question is, what are Ice and Mav’s kisses of choice? Forehead, cheek, regular ol’ lips, the world is their secretly sappy oyster.

I haven’t read that chapter of debriefing since fucking last October! Whoa! not sure how i feel about it .

regular ol’ on the lips :) it means something more than all the rest, it’s romantic in a way none of the others are (which is why it’s so dangerous)

okay yes re: ice being funny yes. wait wait wait let me find it in my doc hold on

here!

#Let this post make up for no wip Wednesday #augh ough #don’t like thinking about it #ice’s/val’s cancer is my ‘i don’t want to talk about it’ #PLEASE don’t talk to me about how ice Will probably die before mav i simply do not want to discuss it i simply won’t think about it just #like ugh don’t ugh ough it is so painful sometimes i just. Like. i fucking hate old people ngl like this is so awful #regarding this post specifically: #this is Christmas 2014 #i feel like: why Ice fell in love with maverick is pretty easy and obvious #why maverick fell in love with ice is pure selfishness #no one else ever gets to see the real ice #as my cyclone said about mav—‘You’re the only one of us who knows anything of him at all’ #and he feels lucky beyond belief for that but he is also not interested at all in sharing #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun #icemav #asks #edts notes

Mav at any formal Military event: My husband may be called Iceman, but he’s actually not that ice-cold or aggressive. He’s just being a good wingman 😊.

The Husband in question:

The Others at Any Formal Military Event: Ice - Rooster

#These two see each other through rose tinted glasses #Im pretty sure Ice is technically abusing his power but like it’s for love #Mav just sees his pretty husband while Ice verbally attacks every admiral within a 5 foot radius #This man does not hesitate bitch #Ice has squared up with Goose before and will not hesitate to do so again #Some men ask for a mother’s blessing to marry their child #Iceman said Dibs and then squared up against Mother Goose while Slider provided moral support on the sidelines #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #nick goose bradshaw #ron slider kerner #icemav #iceman x maverick #top gun #top gun maverick #storeboughtheadcanons #once again another useless contribution to the fandom

It's over. It's just over.

I was working on my Icemav National Treasure AU sequel and was talking to my friend about it and he jokingly asked me what Nicolas Cage movie I was gonna Icemav-ify next. Being the smartass I am, I said Renfield bc that was the first Nic Cage movie that popped in my head.

But as I was scrolling through Disney+ just a bit ago, I saw Sorcerer's Apprentice and my brain immediately went "I can Icemav-ify that and Hangster-ify it" and now I'm struggling to convince myself that I don't need to do that

#icemav #icemav national treasure au #somebody tell me not to do it #i don't need to do it #but also just imagine mav as an ancient sorcerer #who just wants his boyfriend back #and bradley as the nerdy college kid that he teaches magic to #and jake as the pretty blond that bradley has had a crush on for forever #gods dammit i can't deal with this

[tea-time-terrier]

This pumpkin carving supervisor wasn't sure about what was going on, or how to be involved. But don't worry, she was there, and ready.

#last time I did a pumpkin was in yellowknife and both mav and ti-mothy stole pumpkin pieces #I'm pretty sure it was mav who casually strolled over #filled his entire mouth with pumpkin #and then carried it off to a comfy spot #I miss that little man #turnpike

In love with that smile 🥰😍❤

Ice & Slider:

Slider: Would you still love me if I’m ugly?

Ice: I’m offended that you had to ask.

Ice: Would you still love me if……

Slider: Yes! I’d love you no matter what.

Maverick & Ice

Maverick: Would you still love me if I’m ugly?

Ice: Yes. I love you for who you are—a cocky dangerous narcissist. Have faith in yourself Mitchell.

Ice: Would you still love me if I’m ugly?

Maverick: Lol no.

Maverick & Slider:

Slider: Would you still love me if I’m ugly?

Maverick: What makes you think I love you now?

Maverick: Would you still love me if I’m ugly?

Slider: Bold of you to assume you are not ugly already.

Maverick & Goose:

One asks “would you still love me if I’m ugly” and the other throws up a little: that basically is incest bro🤢🤮

#icemav #Mav would love ice no matter what but he needs to let ice know how pretty he is #slider x iceman #slice? #top gun #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #ron slider kerner #nick goose bradshaw

Tom starts whispering I love you's to Pete every morning they woke up together. He still doesn't have the courage to say it out loud, but he paints it on his boyfriend skin when they're still in bed. And every morning he promises he's going to be brave enough to say it out loud.

(Mav beats him on the clock an afternoon before Ice has to leave for an evening hop. Have a good fly, kick their asses, I love you.

The morning after Tom says it out loud.)

#tom iceman kazansky #pete maverick mitchell #icemav #love confession #mav is never going to forget he was the first one to say it #ice is pretty okay with that #they're in love your honor #top gun (1986) #otp: things get old our love is gold #otp: i heard from the heaven that clouds have been grey

nose in the wind

#dogblr #rory borealis #she has a pretty nice profile #a lot of britts are getting that weird upturned nose and i hate it #mav had it at occasional specific angles and i did not like ot #so far rory has shown a largely normal nosr #hope it stays that way as she grows #her dad has an upturned nose so i want her to not inherit that

[compacflt]

Talk to me about Ice and Mav's nicknames for each other! You posted something recently where Ice can now call Mav baby in front of people (well Bradley) and its no big deal.

relevant deleted section just for you anon <3

#i know some people don’t like baby as a term of endearment. neither do i. tough shit. ice & mav do. #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #icemav #this is from that scene where mav’s talking about how close they’re getting now that they’re so old #saying it in every possible way except the actual words themselves & now he doesn’t really want to say the words themselves #bc this is pretty great & he doesn’t want anything to change #> cut for space
