This Makes So Much Sense Omg

this makes so much sense omg

You know how ice has like, one of the the highest ranks you can get in the navy without being SECNAV by the events of TGM while maverick stayed a captain because he didn’t want to give up flying?

I bet ice felt the same in a way, but he was more attached to the plane he was flying rather than the concept of flying in general

I was doing some research and the last F-14 Tomcat was retired from service in 2006 from VF-213. Now this next bit doesn’t entirely comply with fact, but in the topgun universe VF-213 is Fist of the fleet, ice and sliders canon squadron. (In actual fact fist of the fleet is actually VF-25 but let’s ignore that)

So I hc that ice stayed at Commander (since captains oversee the general command of a ship instead of flying the missions) until the tomcat was retired, had one go on the new f/a-18 superhornet on a flight sim and upon deciding it wasn’t the same as the tomcat, he accepted a promotion to captain the same day. Also if we take into account that it usually takes 20-25 years for an officer to get promoted to captain and safely assume ice joined the navy somewhere around the late 70s early 80s, (flight school = 4years so pilots are immediately an Lt when they join the fleet and say it took ice somewhere between 3-4 years so get selected for topgun after that) it also fits the service timeline for getting promoted to captain.

And then after being promoted to captain, ice just gained promotion after promotion and ended up being promoted to COMPACFLT about 1-2 years before the events of TGM. (I hc ice was only on his first term during tgm and that since HE DOESNT DIE YALL, he would take office a second time to keep all maverick baby daggers out of trouble before becoming SECNAV after that.)

YALL @winter-rose27 WROTE A FIC ABOUT THIS.

THIS IS MENTAL

I feel like Ice would have no moral code when it comes to Thanksgiving shopping. He would (and probably has) gotten into a fistfight with an elderly woman over the last can of pumpkin. There is nothing that will come in between Ice and the ingredients to his Babushka's recipes.

Mav does not give a single shit about thanksgiving food.

This is probably the most random post for me to make, but Ilia Malinin had my heart and soul. i've just spent 3 hours watching all of his performances instead of doing my stats homework. it was so worth it though.

His performance to Hope by NF is just aughhh. it's perfect. SO is his performance to Tout l'univers. i was actually crying when watching that.

ADHD task paralysis is killing me rn. I hate how it feels to not be able to accomplish shit even tho I know it has to be done. Current example of this being that I have 10 weeks of missed english assignments, along with a 7 page research essay, due tonight. And I've spent the whole day scrolling through fanfics
