Kate Donachie, Clouds Are Pushing In Grey Reluctance, 2009, Oil On Canvas

Thermography🌡️

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.

´´ thank you Ice, for everything.´´

googling shit like "why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends" and all of the answers are either "you need better friends" (i don't; my friends are wonderful) or "your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels" (i don't; i've got tons of energy, it's just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it's like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much
