#no beaches upon which oiled-up movie stars can grapple half-naked over nerf footballs in the sand

[compacflt]

Do you ever think about how rooster probably had to walk past that poster of ice and mav shaking hands when he was at top gun the first time cause like

well ackshually top gun (navy fighter weapons school) moved out to NAS Fallon in Nevada after the USMC took control of NAS Miramar in 1996 (2006 in my timeline) so i don’t think he would’ve seen it there

but during training for the Dagger mission at NAS north island… the first time, Rooster was probably totally blindsided by it—made him stop dead in his tracks. Jesus. Who put that shit here. Exposing them in the light of day. Total bullshit. Then: “eugh.” And every time after that he just squared his shoulders & walked past & refused to look.

Every time MAV walked past it he probably hesitated & smiled. That’s me & my baby, that’s me & my tomcat, et cetera. oh my god we used to be so YOUNG. augh. look at us. —But can’t get caught staring, have to move on quickly. He has that picture in his wallet anyways. There will be time to look at it later ❤️

#TGM scriptwriters wisely moved the NFWS back to San Diego because (no offense) Nevada sucks #no beaches upon which oiled-up movie stars can grapple half-naked over nerf footballs in the sand #and you know nostalgia etc etc #hondo watching mav heart-eye the handshake poster: are you guys good? ☺️ #Mav: oh yeah we’re good 🥰 he’s still pissed at me cause of the darkstar but we’re good 🥰 #(turning to the compacflt portrait) god Kazansky would it kill you to smile more than once a decade #this fucking guy am i right #hondo: haha yeah (i am 100% getting fired for ‘this fucking guy’ing the commander of the pacific fleet) #pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #top gun maverick #icemav #bradley rooster bradshaw #that photo just being there in the hallway takes me out every time lmao #who PUT that shit there
