Happy Valentines

Another colored pencil drawing. While we're at it.

dug up bits and pieces of old patho scribbles that never made it to tumblr... turns out theres a lot more than i thought

first time i’m posting my burakhovsky art right after i posted it on twitter and not days later :)

I have only been in the Top Gun fandom for a short time but I feel like it’s not talked often enough about how much the Bradshaws and Maverick function as a single family unit. Like more than just close friends, family friends, or even relatives.

My case…

First we have this scene. Where as soon as Goose says hi to Bradley, Maverick almost immediately scoops him up and carries him.

Then we have this scene. Where Mav’s love interest is sitting RIGHT THERE. But instead he chooses to sit further away from her WITH his arm around Carole

Military standard is that when a service member dies the dog tags are split, one they are buried with and one is given to a family member (usually the spouse). And I know it clearly doesn’t follow all the right protocol becuase Mav had both. But he still has them. They aren’t buried with Goose and Carole decided not to keep them for herself or Bradley. She gave them to Mav and trusted him

And I’m not saying I ship Mav with them (individual or as a throple). But these guys are just so much more then friends, family, or even found family. There so some weird 4th thing I can’t seem to place.

Toys cannot die, only be unmade
