Can someone please, please I'm begging you, explain to me how Maverick pulling Rooster's papers from the Naval Academy would have pushed his career back four years? I have no doubt that Maverick pulling his papers would have cost him years on his career to becoming a Naval Aviator, of course, but as to how that would have been the case, I'm pretty in the dark. Like, when did he find out Mav pulled his papers? Was it after he turned 23, so he already passed the age where one could apply/re-apply for USNA? But if that was the case, what was he doing in the meantime? It was still his goal to become a Naval Aviator, so what was he doing between 17 or 18 (probably the age he applied) and 23? Or did Rooster learn his papers had been pulled earlier on? But if that was the case, why didn't he just re-apply to USNA? Or am I missing critical details to the entire situation altogether, and completely misunderstanding what happend and the circumstances? I have no idea. I don't even fully know what "pulling papers" really entails. Is it something that anyone could theoretically do, or is it something that could only be done by Maverick because of his military/naval position? I am very confused.

If someone would be kind enough to explain, that would be beyond appreciated!

Maverick: I've been where you are.

Rooster: Struggling to prove yourself as a naval aviator, yeah, I know.

Maverick: No, I meant being in love with an asshole in your Top Gun class.

Happy holidays to all, and to all a very good aneurism

tis the season

Work for Bradley had been more on the heavy side this week, so when Penny and Maverick had invited you and Rooster on a day out on the water on Penny’s sail boat, he was quick to accept the invitation. When Bradley had told you about your plans for Sunday with Penny and Mav, you were more than thrilled.

Saturday night you and Bradley had a night in, watching your favourite movies and just embracing each other to decompress after a long week of work. Then Sunday rolled around and you were so excited to get to spend a day on the water with Maverick, Penny, and especially, Bradley. Although you and Bradley were in no rush, you packed everything up for the day an hour and a half before you left.

Around 12:30 you and Bradley got to the dock where Penny and Mav were. You were wearing your bathing suit and one of Bradley’s shirts, which was so big on you it went down half your thighs. Rooster was wearing his swim trunks which were pineapple print, and one of his dads old Hawaiian button up shirts. When you got on the boat, Penny greeted you with a hug while Maverick gave you a warm hearted smile.

You talk to Penny as Bradley heads over to Mav to talk to him. “Oh my gosh Penny, you look great! Thank you for inviting us!” You start the conversation. “It’s no problem really, Pete was telling me that Bradley was having a tough week at work and we haven’t seen you in a while, so I thought we should make it a double date!”

After a little chit chat, the boys untie the boat from the dock, and you all take off. Penny had put on a mixed playlist and ‘Dreams’ by Fleetwood Mac started playing. You smiled contently as you made your way to sit down on one of the benches. When you were seated, you took your shirt off and grabbed the sunscreen from your bag. As you started to apply the sunscreen Bradley had started making his was to you. You had decided to wear a simple but cute blue bathing suit, showing a little cleavage, but not too much because you wanted to be more modest than some of the other bathing suits only Bradley gets to see. You look up at him with a sweet smile and he leans down to you to whisper “You look good y’know?” His face changing to a more lustful look. You smile even bigger and hit him playfully on the arm and quietly scold him. “Bradley Bradshaw! We are here to spend time with our friends, get your mind out of the gutter!” Bradley starts laughing which makes you start laughing as well. Both of you calm down, and Bradley offers to put sunscreen on your back.

The four of you collectively agree to stop for a bit in the middle of the water to relax for a while. “Y/N, wanna come help me get lunch ready?” Penny asks, once the boat is anchored down. “Of course! Be right there!” You reply. Turning and kissing Bradley on the cheek before getting up to help. You only take a few steps away before Bradley shouts out “Lookin’ good honey!” You turned and gawked at him, your face flushed, Bradley and Maverick trying to hold in their laughs at your expression. You continue on to help Penny get the food out of the containers and onto some paper plates to eat.

After you all had ate, everyone was just relaxing, listening to music, watching the ocean, and talking a bit more. That’s when ‘Great Balls of Fire’ by Jerry Lee Lewis came on and you just had to get up and dance with Bradley. So, you stood up and grabbed him by the hands pulling him off the bench and into an open space of the boat. You of course knew the meaning of this song to him and Mav, but you also loved this song and wanted to dance. As you and Bradley danced to the song, the four of you sang along and laughed throughout. During the verse,

“Kiss me baby.. Mmmm feels good”

Both Pete and Bradley kissed their girls tenderly on the cheek. As the song ended, Bradley wrapped you up in his arms and spun you around with a smile big enough it was making the corners of his eyes crinkle. When he set you down, you wrapped you hand around his waist, lean up on your tip toes and connect your lips to Bradley with pure love. You took it all in as he sweetly kissed you back, but then you feels his hands creep up you sides.. and he starts tickling you. You burst out laughing and pull away from him, trying to pry his hands off of you. While Bradley continues to tickle you, he lifts you up and walks to the edge of the boat. You quickly catch on to what he’s doing and start playfully hitting him saying things such as “Don’t you dare Bradshaw!” And “I’ll get you back you Rooster!” And finally.. Bradley drops you off the side of the boat, but before you fell too far you grabbed him and pulled him in with you. You both fell into the water giggling and soaked. While Bradley swam over to you, Penney and Mav came to the edge of the boat to make sure you were okay. The only confirmation they needed was hearing your love filled laughs. When Bradley swam over to you he pulled you in, kissing the top of your head and giving Mav a thumbs up. You turned to Rooster and tried to look mad at him, but the more you looked into those brown puppy dog like eyes, your face lightened and you pulled him in for another sweet kiss on the lips. Tasting the salt water on his lips, you moved yours hands to the bottom of his hair on his neck. Then you heard someone say from the boat “Get a room will y’a?!”, you and Bradley separate and looks up to see Penny hitting Pete on the arm while Maverick was chuckling to himself. Just to show Mav, you quickly threw yourself onto Bradley, jokingly sloppily kissing his face and shoving the both of you underwater. When you came back up you swam to the ladder and got back on the boat while teasing Maverick by saying “That good enough for you?” Maverick just shakes his head and laughs at the two of you looking like wet dogs. Bradley notices how you start to shiver a little, he slowly slides his arm around your shoulders and guides you to the bench you were on before and sits you there. He goes into the bag you had packed nice and early this morning and got the towels out. He wrapped your towel around your shoulders and his around his hips. Bradley sits down next to you and once again puts his arm around you and starts rubbing your arm and bringing you in closer to him to try and warm you up. A little smile creeps up onto your face as you snuggle into his side and rest your head on his shoulder. You look over to Maverick who also has his arm draped over Penny’s shoulder, he smiles widely at you. “You don’t know how happy it makes me seeing you two together. You remind me so much of Carole and Goose. The way Rooster cares for you, Y/N and how you guys goof around together. It makes me miss your parents Rooster, but it makes me feel like they’re still here, their spirits in you two.” Maverick admits. You couldn’t help the happy tear that fell down your cheek onto Bradley’s shoulder. Bradley looked at you, then kissed your forehead. “I love you so much Y/N/N” Bradley says to you. “I love you too Bradley” you say back with the sweetest smile and a peaceful look in your eyes.

i am VERY obsessed with top gun try and stop me mfs

✨Icemav Supremacy✨

maverick and rooster sneaking into the enemy base

them trying to blend in

i watch the top gun movies for the plot

the plot:

shoutout to the incorrect quotes generator I found online that has provided me with some delightful icemav content 🙏🙏

“take me or leave me” from the musical rent is one of the most icemav coded songs ever. I don’t even need to tell you who’s who. you’ll know.

me because i had to draw it

Top Gun Silliness

i hate it when my mind is consumed only by Top Gun and Mission impossible, like honey I need to focus on my grades and my life

(I lied. I’m only making my obsessions worst. you should help me with that too)

ANYWAY, ART FLASH BANG

(i dont do paint pens well)

WHATS THIS??? ANOTHER ART FLASH BANG?

(give me suggestions i beg of u)

me when any minor inconvenience

GREAT BALLS OF FIRE

AN ART COLLAB WITH THE ONE AND ONLY @one-lonely-artist !!!!

They drew goose, and I had drawn Maverick and Slider. Dunno what Maverick did, but all we know is that he DEFINITELY started it

my part and the ref vvv

The winner takes it all..

BAM! TWO POSTS IN ONE DAY! AHA! This one’s a bit more…depressing…. BUT I CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT HOW “The Winner Takes it All” BY ABBA IS SO TOP GUN (1986) CODED! LIKE ACTUALLY! Warning in advance, professional yapper here ->

ESPECIALLY THESE CHUNKS OF LYRICS:

“I don't wanna talk about things we've gone through, though it's hurting me, now it's history.

I've played all my cards and that's what you've done too.

Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.

The winner takes it all, The loser's standing small. Beside the victory, that's her destiny.”

“The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice.

And someone way down here loses someone dear.

The winner takes it all (takes it all)

The loser has to fall (has to fall)

It's simple and it's plain (it's so plain)

Why should I complain? (Why complain?)”

“The judges will decide (will decide)

The likes of me abide (me abide)

Spectators of the show (of the show)

Always staying low (staying low)

The game is on again (on again)

A lover or a friend (or a friend)

A big thing or a small (big or small)

The winner takes it all (takes it all)

I don't wanna talk If it makes you feel sad.

And I understand, You've come to shake my hand.

I apologize If it makes you feel bad, Seeing me so tense. No self-confidence.

But you see, The winner takes it all

The winner takes it all

So the winner takes it all

And the loser has to fall

Throw the dice, cold as ice

Way down here, someone dear

Takes it all, has to fall

And it's plain, why complain?”

LIKE HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOO??????? ARE WE JUST GONNA SIT HERE AND NOT NOTICE THESE? I would talk about the whole song, but i’m sparing your ears (eyes???)

Especailly the lines: “The gods may throw a dice, their minds as cold as ice(man— sorry had to). And someone way down here lost someone dear”

LIKE? THATS SO MAV AND GOOSE. Maverick being the one who lost someone dear to him and the only family he’s got, and goose bring the one maverick is mourning.

and maybe the lyrics of “The judges will decide, the likes of me abide. spectators of the show always staying low”

This part could be like- maybe the court room (??) where they cleared maverick of doing anything wrong, but maybe the spectators could’ve been ice and slider, who are witnessing the fellow aviators grief first hand.

and then we got the final part that really sets it off is: “I don’t want to talk if it makes you feel sad. And I understand, you’ve come to shake my hand. (MAVERICK CONGRATULATING ICEMAN AND SLIDER ON GETTING FIRST) I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense, no self confidence (QUITTING TOPGUN??? MAV GONNA TURN IN HIS WINGS/DOESNT HAVE ENERGY ANYMORE TO BE AN AVIATOR??) But you see, the winner takes it all”

blah blah blah angwy blah blah blah maverick blah blah blah homosexual aviator tendencies. You get the basic idea i hope- But yeah. Listen to ABBA, and let me yap more about my top gun brain rot obsession thing.

Okay yayayay ya i’m done 😋

SMALL ART DUMP CUS I KNOW YALL JUST MISSED ME (nobody did) First off starting with Maverick

Missing Val, i’m genuinely very sad about it and now can’t watch Top Gun normally atm

annndddd some maverick and goose! this one i’m actually kinda really proud of since i usually dont do that kinda stuff

So I scrolled upon a silly post and I mean I just HAD to. HAD TO.

Credits to: @nobodys-hekatonchires for the idea.

BONUSSS:

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s— Maverick?!

Okay let me ramble if you will, I really believe if Maverick was a bird, he would be a golden eagle. All the way. He for sure is flying around mach 2 with his hair on fire, as happy as he can be.

this is avian Maverick i guess, cus yeah. Why not? I asked my friend Cowboy/Outlaw or Avians and they picked Avians, so shout out to them *cough cough @airy-earth cough cough*

Please take a moment to recognize the amount of detail i put into these 😭💔 it took like a lot of effort actually which is weird.

But anyways, YEAH! Goose might be next, as a goose (duh…)

Eat up pookies

An old but gold Goose and Maverick art piece. (11/19/24) Probably my favorite Top Gun art piece i’ve ever done, and it’s of my silly boysssss.

I hope y’all sorta recognize the scene, but uh, yeah. Little do they know they are about to be sent out to Top Gun 🤭🤭🤭

enjoy, i suppose

OH! and take him too

First post I guess

Listen, we all know Mav does some dumb shit, and lowkey? It’s hillarious seeing different Iceman reactions.

Or maybe, just maybe, Iceman is used to it by the second year of knowing Maverick. But who knows? (I do. I do know.)

Icemav fic idea

GUYS GUYS GUYS what if…. Hear me out. Maverick is a pilot for the U.S. navy and Iceman is a pilot for the Russian navy and they end up getting into a dog fight after iceman is sent into U.S. airspace. They both end up crashing in a third world/lowly populated area and they have to (grudgingly) work together to make it to back to the Naval base Mav flew out of (because Ice is caught on American soil whether he likes it or not) and maybe they catch feelings along the way?!?! I have no writing skills but if some angel wrote a fic about this I would acc love them!

Love love love those✋👁️👄👁️

How do I stop obsessing over Maverick? (I don't have much practice drawing him so these look kinda wonky 😔)
