Viper asking around the base where Maverick is
Viper: Excuse me ma’am, have you seen my son? He’s about this tall *holds his hand up to 5’7’* clearly gay but we haven’t had the talk yet.
Some poor lady who just wants to get her coffee and get back to work: No, sir, I have not seen Maverick.
Meanwhile in the locker room:
Mav: *leans back and sneezes off to the side*
Ice: You okay????
Mav: *Looking at the wall* yeah, Im good. But I think someone’s thinking about me. Goose told me once if you sneeze out of nowhere, it’s because someone’s thinking about you.
Ice: Oh, I’m sorry then. *kisses Mav on the lips*
Mav:???? why?
Ice: *smirks and winks* For thinking about you.
Mav:
It’s said that to this day, Commander Viper is still asking:

It's late, I am in pain and had an icky day
So
Strange mashup au!!!!!
Because I can
Mav's been adopted by a Very Done™ Space Father
My glasses broke so I'm passing on details.
But Bakuub just beat the shit out of a group of idiots to save a Tiny Air Gay™.
He's not giving him up.
Custody battle between Viper and Bak, Mav's just happy because he's an attention whore.

Ice: It’s quiet.... Too quiet.
Slider, out in Ice’s backyard with Mav, setting up a trampoline they were expressly told they should not get because they’d break their fool necks: All is well that ends well. By the time Ice sees it, his grandchildren will have played on it, loved it, and he’ll never be able to get rid of it
Mav: An excellent point. Hurry up and stretch the tarp over here
Slider: It’s not my fault your arms are too short to reach
Ice’s Grandchildren, watching eagerly from the patio: You’re sure Grandpa said we could have a trampoline? He’s been saying no for years
Mav, grinning: Oh, absolutely, kiddos. Your gramps will be thrilled
Slider, also grinning: Yeah. Thrilled :D

Emlyn: No. I’m being ironic. Or is it sarcastic? I can never remember.
Leonard: Irony’s cleverer, so you’re probably being sarcastic.

Roger Casement | A Man of Mystery
In the week after Roger Casement’s execution, on 3 August 1916, newsreel footage of the nationalist leader was shown in cinemas across America. At a conservative estimate, some 15 million US citizens saw the moving pictures. A century on, this fragment of film provides a fascinating insight.
Casement is glimpsed at his desk writing: The daily activity he performed above any other. He used the pen…

having seen top gun 2 tonight, i’d like to get personal and rambly for a sec with you all. (what else is tumblr for?)
i joined the top gun fandom in late 2018. that was my freshman year of college. i watched the movie at the recommendation of a friend and i fell in love with it - the heart, the music, the characters, the cinematography, the planes, everything - and the fandom welcomed me with open arms. i wrote over 400k worth of top gun fanfics in two years. i made memes and edits and excellent friends (both because of top gun and because of tom’s movies / tom cruise in general) whom i treasure with all my heart.
in october 2020, my mental health was at the lowest point it had ever reached. i’d gotten covid a month before and was still experiencing bad shortness of breath. i’d been having worsening stomach issues and could barely eat (in six months, i lost fifteen pounds that i could not afford to lose). all of my classes were online and harder than ever, and my roommate was gone more often than not, so i barely got to see other human beings in person. i was lonely and miserable and stressed and exhausted all the time. and one bad night, i really thought about ending it.
the only thing - and i really do mean the only thing - that kept me from doing so was the fact that i hadn’t seen top gun 2 yet. it’d been postponed twice that year already, and was set to come out in may 2021. i remembered how i’d been looking forward to it for months and months. the sequel was the one bright spot in the darkness - the only thing i had to look forward to. so i told myself that i would make it to may. just to may. i would watch the sequel in theaters like tom had been advocating. and after, i would re-evaluate my plans.
that same month, i went on medication, and my stomach issues (which turned out to be severe gastritis) eventually resolved. i could eat again, and i slowly regained my strength. my long term covid symptoms got better. i had a couple of classes in person the next semester, and i made new friends and got new roommates who were better friends to me than my roommate at the time had ever been. and the loneliness and misery and exhaustion that had plagued me that night when i was at my lowest eased at last. the premiere of top gun 2 - which would be delayed two more times in 2021 - became less of a finish line to me, and more of a checkpoint in a journey i realized i wanted to continue taking.
at my lowest point, my friends (irl and online) and family helped me back up, and i found the strength to keep going. i realized that as lonely as i had felt that night with the weight of the world on top of me, i wasn’t alone. whatever ending is on my horizon - which is a long, long way away - is going to be a happy one.
and having seen top gun 2 tonight (at long, long last), i’m so happy that mav got to have a happy ending too.
