More stuff about Top Gun! Steve Randel

So I know in the movie Tom Curise’s character’s call sign is Maverick and his real name is Pete, but Maverick in my opinion doesn’t fit Steve so I made it his middle name instead because I can. Call signs in the Navy and other branches come from inside jokes or characteristics of someone that the whole team agrees on. So, I’m making his call sign Wildcard mostly because all the ones I could think of didn’t sound good the more I said them out loud, plus I feel like it fits both Steve and Mav’s characters.

Doing more research while also rewatching Top Gun, the youngest you can be to start flight school to be a Navy pilot is 19 and you go through flight school for a minimum of 6 years. Now in Top Gun, Mav is 24 meaning he would have only gone for around four years unless he started flight school at a younger age. We also can assume he got into school because of his dad, so for the AU I’m making both Steve’s dad and uncle Navy pilots, his father MIA like in the movie and his uncle retired. He started flying at a young age going through flight school while also being a greaser. He never really felt a connection to flying until around the events of the rumble. He mostly worked on cars because it took his mind off of what happened to his dad until on day at the ripe age of 17 in a half, he decided to actually go to boot camp and become and actual Navy pilot in honor of his dad. Then the AU continues like the movie except for the whole him and Charlie thing, and instead him play flirting with her because he can.

I’m also scraping the idea of him leaving due to diabetes and instead making the reason he left being Goose’s death because he couldn’t stand the idea of another close friend of his dying. Then we go into him living a normal life back with the Curtis’s and Two-bit, then to the events of Top Gun Maverick.

Top Gun/Modern au! The Outsiders

Steve’s middle name is Maverick making his full name Steve Maverick Randle

What I’m thinking is he probably got bored one day and joined the Navy, went through basic Navy boot camp at 17, and served for a year but had to stop for a medical reason like diabetes or something. So he just has dog tags at 18 and depending if people pay close attention or not they’ll just ask about them. The boys definitely mess with him in the morning or any time he’s sleeping and will just yell and bang on stuff like a commander would.

Like I kid you not he just got up one day, bored out of his mind, and was just like, “Imma join the Navy” and left.

It’s like 12 AM and I keep trying to go to bed then waking up and searching things up about the Navy just to write this

just got out of exams so im treating myself

this is going to ruin me isnt it

dude sexually inexperienced ice i need more of that

No, I’m not done with the sad pictures 🥲

mav kinda slowly guiding ice, letting him suck his dick bcs ice is inexperienced RAHHSHSHSH

GIVING HIM GENTLE PRAISES BCS ICE IS A PRAISE FREAK

"That's it— yeah, baby, there you go.."

"Shit, you're good at this, huh Tom? Pretty little— ah– lips nev'r been used like this b'fore?"

saw somewhere that shorter fighter pilots take the g-force better because the heart takes less effort to pump blood into the brain and im like no fucking wonder

would it be... funny... if... carole's bday... was on ... july 28th

me after reading an icemav seven minutes in heaven fic

OKAY I NEED SUGGESTIONS FOR A FIC

The fic is gonna be 5 + 1 featuring Pete & Carole siblings hc!!! It's gonna be around birthdays so its bout to be angsty but i have two ideas:

1. mav and carole having the same birthday, the five times they celebrated seperated it apart and the one time mav celebrated it truly alone.

(they dont necessarily have to be twins— could just be a coincidence that caroles baby bro was born on her birthday!)

2. 5 times mav surprised carole on her birthday and the 1 time she managed to surprised him.

(they have seperate bdays in this one)

3. kind of a take from option 1: five letters from Mav and Carole of when they couldnt attend eachothers birthdays but still wished them a happy birthday and the time after caroles death where he writes her a final letter.

tbh if u ship bradley/maverick wtf is wrong with you

carole bradshaw you are so older sister energy i refuse not to write you with your younger gay brothers (icemav) and your baby boys (goose and rooster)

what i would do for a fanfic of iceman and carole having a heart to heart

AN EDIT OF MAVERICK TO

Okay Top Gun fandom, I have a serious question…

Can Ice dance? Not ballroom, but like club dancing. Can he serve on the dance floor? Because — I don't think he can.

Now, Mav yes, absolutely.

Ice, no way in Hell.

Opinions?

Special shoutout to Cards Against Humanity

In the 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service intensively tried to remove gay men from the military. Once they misinterpreted the queer slang phrase "friend of Dorothy" (a euphemism for gay man used since around WW2) and thought that there was a real woman named Dorothy who knew plenty of gay men in the military.

The NIS decided to find Dorothy and force her to reveal the names of gay service members so that the Navy could throw them out. They wasted a lot of time and taxpayers' money on this and the action, of course, ended in failure.

Just imagine Icemav angst related to the fear of discovering their relationship and simply Mav being chaotic and messing with his superiors.

Ice: I was away from home for a week and a half and you spread rumors and made the entire NIS look for a non-existent woman.

Mav with an innocent look on his face: I literally don't know what you're talking about.

Slider: Yes it was him

I'm begging on my knees for someone to write this

i am sorry

I love that top gun was so gay that they had to change top gun:maverick to be straight as fuck.

Did anyone else see the sexual tension between maverick and iceman? 'Cause I did and I wanna see fanfiction written about it

when you’re rewatching your comfort movie but your favourite character dies so now you realize you’re gonna have to watch them die again

This man was in his hot boy summer era.
