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)
Coyote: Would you slap Rooster-
Hangman: Yes.
Coyote: I didn't even finish!
Hangman: Sorry, continue.
Coyote: Would you slap Rooster for 10 dollars?
Hangman: I would do it for free.
Rooster: Rude...
yo! this isnβt an ask or anything, just an appreciation to your lovely art and fanfic. i LOVE it so far, and cannot wait for the last chapter. I was up till like 3 finishing reading it cus i was so invested, and youβre so good that i can just imagine this happening without even trying. So yeah, just wanted to show appreciation anywho buh bye (ALSO I LOVE BENTHAN UGH THEYRE SO ZESTY)
Thank you for your kind words! I don't really get a lot of asks anymore, not ones that aren't spam.
I'm so glad to hear that you like my story! I will tell you that a TON of hard work goes into my writing. As anyone who has been reading "Nine Steps" from the beginning can tell you, I am a slow writer and I have to work at it all the time. Anyway, I truly appreciate that someone likes the hard work I've done writing this thing!
I am happy to report that I will be posting the last chapter of "Nine Steps" this week on May 14th in my timezone which might be May 15th depending on where you are in the world. I hope you like the ending.
Then I will be bracing myself for MI:8 like the rest of us Benthan fans!
First post I guess
Listen, we all know Mav does some dumb shit, and lowkey? Itβs 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.)
Mav and Bradley doing those model airplane kits together before they fall out. They left one unfinished. Pete can't even consider doing the rest on his own. It only gets finished after the Uranium mission.
this is how iβm dealing with the death of bobby nash
double the pain, give it to the next fandomοΏΌ
βIcemav is canonβ I say into the microphone. The crowd boos. I sigh and begin to walk off stage. "She's right" a voice says, I turn and there he is. Val Kilmer.
