Zeromav - ZeroMaverick

Lestat about to give Daniel the choice he never had.

Had to draw one of my favorite Toms for Halloween!

This movie had a big influence on little Li who was far too young to watch it when she did! (Still remember giggling with my best friend while hiding behind the big couch in my best friend's living room as her older brother and his friends watched the movie which they rented from Blockbuster.)

Nobody ever commissions me to draw actor portraits so I did one for myself! (I am still taking commissions, however I am away right now but will resume drawing after November 5th. Feel free to message me to reserve your spot in line!)

(The Dagger Squad are all in the rec room in Pete "Maverick" Mitchell and Tom "Iceman" Kazansky's house, watching the TV when Maverick runs into the room in a panic, before quickly closing the door behind him before leaning against it, worried)

Maverick: Who wants to make 100 bucks?!

(The Daggers look at Maverick with suspicion and confusion)

Callie "Halo" Bassett: How?

Maverick: I need someone to take the fall.

(Iceman is heard from the next room)

Iceman (shocked): What the fuck?

(The Daggers are now more confused)

Robert "Bob" Floyd: What did you do?!

Maverick (desperate): I can't tell you. Yes or no, no questions asked.

(Iceman is heard from the next room, now louder)

Iceman (angry): What the fuck?!

Jake "Hangman" Seresin: Make it 500.

Maverick (instantly and relieved): Done!

(Maverick opens the door, and now Iceman is heard screaming from the next room)

Iceman (in terror and horrified): WHAT THE FUCK?!

(Maverick places his hands on Hangman's shoulders)

Maverick (grateful): You're a good man, Jake Seresin.

(Maverick then grabs Hangman by the collar of his shirt and drags him off to the next room to Iceman while the Dagger Squad watches wordlessly)

Maverick (yelling to the next room): I got him, Ice! I got him, don't worry, honey!

Y’ALL IT’S THE TWINK

preach 🙏🙏🙏

The Top Gun fandom treating Mav like some sort of self-destructive, unsocialized, bratty, feral cat that Ice needs to train and discipline will forever and ever be my villain origin story

Mav is a highly competent, highly skilled, highly trained, and highly decorated fighter pilot and Naval officer and is every single inch Ice's equal, which is THE ENTIRE GODDAMN POINT of their 30 year friendship-slash-relationship

They both learn from each other in the first film and have decades of loyalty in the second film and you don't get that sort of deep trust in each other without it being a relationship built on mutual love and admiration for each other's talents and for knowing exactly where each other's strengths lie

They may have differing methods for how they Get Shit Done, but they respect each other more than anything else, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

(ps, Ice is more of a brat to Mav in canon than Mav is to Ice - the only person Mav is an actual brat to in either film is Charlie)

Phoenix: Do you guys ever have a civilized conversation that doesn't require insulting each other every time you get a chance?

Hangman: No.

Rooster: No.

Phoenix: Right. Didn't think so.

Bradley: I'm bisexual and I'm dating Jake

Pete the next day:
