Top Gun Headcanons #3

After his death, Slider replaces Iceman as COMPACFLT.

When he enters the office for the first time, there is a neatly written note left on the desk:

Dear Admiral Kerner,

Have fun with Maverick.

- Ice.

Slider: GODDAMNIT, TOM!

Personally adopting all of these headcanons. I love them!

Halo Headcannons

Just some thoughts about my fav WSO and her interactions with her fellow airmen ❤️

She's Omaha's wingman (no pun intended) because even though he's fine as hell, he's horrible at flirting with women. She was ecstatic when he finally asked out the nuclear engineer she befriended on an aircraft carrier.

She loves playing bartender. She first started making mocktails, but progressed into more advanced alcoholic drinks. She eventually got her liquor license and is the only pilot Penny allows behind the bar.

Her Mandarin sometimes slips into her English subconsciously. It's mostly a lot of 哎呀 (āiyā, kinda like a sigh of frustration). She says it for any level of inconvenience, whether it be dropping her pen or when Omaha decides to invert the plane unannounced 🙄

She can literally fall asleep anywhere. If you gave her a blanket and a pillow, she could probably fall asleep on the tarmac.

When Halo brought Fritz and Yale home for Lunar New Year, her family instantly instantly hit it off with them. Even the aunties tried to set them up with their daughters.

She has a really good singing voice that carries and is Rooster's go-to duet partner when he's playing a song on the piano with two singing parts.

Her vision corrects to 20/20 with contacts, but she sometimes uses her glasses if her eyes are irritated. She loves her glasses because she deliberately chose the chunkiest pair the store had (think 1980s plastic square frame glasses).

She regularly quotes sci-fi movies, even if no one understands the references. Fanboy was so excited when he realized she was also a Trekkie.

There's a soundtrack playing in her head 24/7. Sometimes she'll just randomly bop her head and tap her pen to whatever she's jamming out to in her mind.

Her favorite pair of sunglasses were picked out by Phoenix at a gas station in Lemoore. She got them matching ones in different colors.

She usually doesn't lie, but when she does, you can tell because she scrunches her nose (it's adorable)

I believe all thunderbirds fans have already dreamed of going there. It's my dream to spend a day there 😅

GUYS IT'S REAL

IT'S REAL

IT'S IN CANADA

AND THE HOOD LEFT A GOOGLE REVIEW

K, but imagine.

Tin-Tin is Kayo's long lost little sister.

That she never knew about, cos Mr Kyrano hid her away, from the Hood, or some backstory garbage.

But then they reunite.

And then they form a wonderful, adorable relationship.

And probably Alan ends up falling for her.

And maybe they get married one day.

And then Kayo becomes officially, officially, a Tracy sibling because now Alan is her brother in law.

Just.

Think about it.

*Phoenix hangs up on Hangman mid-sentence*

Hangman: She hung up on me! Some people just can't take a joke.

Rooster: *without looking up* It helps when they're actually funny.

“Boom. Butterfly effect.”

One of the things that got brought up this past week over at the Thunderbirds are Go chatroom was EOS and videogames. I personally see her as enjoying many different types of games, with a special emphasis on simulation games (in an effort to understand humans better), but if she’s forced to play it like a human without messing around with the code, she tends to be somewhat…bad at them. And since I’ve recently been watching LPs of Until Dawn, which is basically an interactive horror movie and not a simulation game but the core mechanics of the game mean that you can finish the game with the entire cast dead (I don’t think that’s really a spoiler), I ended up with this.

I think EOS is probably on her third or fourth accidental death. That’s what happens when Alan refuses to let her use her wi-fi when preparing to play the game (and when EOS is woefully ignorant of horror movie tropes.) However, her mobile platform is spectacular when it gets to the “don’t move” sections.

OK BUT YOU JUST COMBINED MY TWO FAVOURITE THINGS IN THE WORLD LIKE YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW

Commander Shore: Gordon Cooper Tracy, your reputation precedes you

Gordon: Thank you, Sir

Commander Shore: Not a compliment

Top Gun Headcanons #6

The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.

Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.

What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.

That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.

The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.

Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.

"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.

Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."

Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.

Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."

A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."

Cougar laughed. "Count on it."

@misanderousmisfit this was going to be super long and also I have a picture, so I decided just to make a post.

About Maverick's wings

Okay, SO.

I just posted this gif with a new set, prompting @misanderousmisfit to say, "Wait how did I not notice that Mav takes his own wings and snaps them on the casket??!!!"

Then she asked for an explanation, and I am happy to provide one, not least of which because I actually already researched this and explained it to someone else like right after TGM came out.

What Maverick does with his wings at Ice's funeral is based on a tradition by the SEALs. Similar to naval aviators, Navy SEALs are given a specific pin that is unique to their role. Pilots have wings; the SEALs have what is called a Trident. It's a symbol not only of the group they belong to, but of all the work they had to do to acquire this specification.

When a SEAL team loses a member, the other members hammer their Tridents into the top of the casket. It's basically taking an incredibly valuable item and giving it to your friend as a sign of respect, and to show that a piece of you is going with him.

The reason they punch them into the casket like that is just to drive the metal into the wood, so the pins stay there.

Those are Maverick's wings. He is giving them to Ice to send a piece of him with him.

new headcanon for the dialogue here:

rooster, pulling back from the hug, laughing to himself: “you know, I always dreamed of flying with you as a kid.”

mav, visibly touched, smiling like a doofus, probably concussed let’s be real: “hmm. and the verdict?”

rooster, exhausted smile, shaking his head, definitely concussed amirite: “absolutely never again.”

and then they laugh and the photo’s taken 📸❤️
