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.

I watched Carrying the Banner with my sister over and over again to figure out where everyone in newsies sleeps and all that fun stuff. Based on what I saw this is a rough sketch of where everyone would be. (the empty space is the bathrooms)

Everyone please appreciate Bumlets’s hair flip

Highschool Fic update

No I haven’t started writing, I am currently writing an outline of what i want to happen but here are the ships I have planned. Also unless they are a musical only character I will be using the 1992 versions of the characters so if you haven’t seen that version you should.

Jack and David, but it’s like kinda slow burn

Jack and Kathrine, but by the start of the story they have broken up but stayed friends

Blink and Mush, obviously

Jack and Sarah, they did date prior to the story but non of Sarah’s family or the Newsies knew they were dating or that they knew each other, you’ll see how that works later

Sarah and Kathrine, we love the newsbians

Racetrack and Spot, again using the 92 versions only bc I’m a sucker for a good ‘92sies Sprace story (sorry Spralbert and Ralbert shippers)

Bumlets, Swifty, and Skittery, BUMSWIFTERY FOR LIFE

Snitch and Itey, there is no freaking way they aren’t dating they literally share a bed

Tommy Boy and Finch, don’t ask me why it’s just one of my favorites

Specs and Dutchy, yes 92 Specs this ship is so random but I love it so much

Elmer and Buttons, I LOVE THESE TWO AHH

Jojo and Mike, can’t have a story without these two

Sniper, Smalls, Hotshot, but all girls because we NEED girl power

Graves and York, gotta have some Brooklyn Newsies ofc

These are all I can think of at the moment if you have anymore that you want to see or that I forgot please comment them
