@misanderousmisfit this was going to be super long and also I have a picture, so I decided just to make a post.

About Maverick's wings

Okay, SO.

I just posted this gif with a new set, prompting @misanderousmisfit to say, "Wait how did I not notice that Mav takes his own wings and snaps them on the casket??!!!"

Then she asked for an explanation, and I am happy to provide one, not least of which because I actually already researched this and explained it to someone else like right after TGM came out.

What Maverick does with his wings at Ice's funeral is based on a tradition by the SEALs. Similar to naval aviators, Navy SEALs are given a specific pin that is unique to their role. Pilots have wings; the SEALs have what is called a Trident. It's a symbol not only of the group they belong to, but of all the work they had to do to acquire this specification.

When a SEAL team loses a member, the other members hammer their Tridents into the top of the casket. It's basically taking an incredibly valuable item and giving it to your friend as a sign of respect, and to show that a piece of you is going with him.

The reason they punch them into the casket like that is just to drive the metal into the wood, so the pins stay there.

Those are Maverick's wings. He is giving them to Ice to send a piece of him with him.

@myladykayo I'm so glad you like it!

Reblog or reply to this posh with the heart emoji colour (💙💚❤️💛🧡🖤💖🤍) of your favourite character. I’ll be putting them in a tally and seeing who gets the most. 😁 I’ll go first:

❤️

maverick knows his pilots miss him because of the little things they share. the texts he gets and the pictures. always at random, sporadic and unprompted.

things like —

fanboy telling him they nailed a test run for a new mission because of the way mav taught them to fly.

you two would’ve done that all on your own. proud of you.

phoenix telling him she’s up for promotion and hoping he can make it to the ceremony since it’s his fault she’s gotten even better in the air.

you were always going to soar, phoenix. i’ll be there.

coyote telling him, not for the first time, how grateful he is that maverick knows the importance of getting everyone home alive.

nothing wrong with a little hope, right?

just. small things that make mav’s chest ache every time with something proud and fond and soft because he may not be flying for the navy anymore, but these kids are absolutely making sure he still feels like he is.

“Boom. Butterfly effect.”

One of the things that got brought up this past week over at the Thunderbirds are Go chatroom was EOS and videogames. I personally see her as enjoying many different types of games, with a special emphasis on simulation games (in an effort to understand humans better), but if she’s forced to play it like a human without messing around with the code, she tends to be somewhat…bad at them. And since I’ve recently been watching LPs of Until Dawn, which is basically an interactive horror movie and not a simulation game but the core mechanics of the game mean that you can finish the game with the entire cast dead (I don’t think that’s really a spoiler), I ended up with this.

I think EOS is probably on her third or fourth accidental death. That’s what happens when Alan refuses to let her use her wi-fi when preparing to play the game (and when EOS is woefully ignorant of horror movie tropes.) However, her mobile platform is spectacular when it gets to the “don’t move” sections.

Gordo 💛

Mav: Would you punch your best friend in the face for $100?

Ice: I would punch you in the face for free.

Mav: *tearing up* I'm your best friend..?

Slider: Why is Goose unconscious, and why is Mav dying on the floor, laughing?

Ice: Goose was going to hit his head on the doorframe so Maverick told him to duck, and he quacked at him. And then he hit his head.

Slider: *wheezes*

I will adopt. 🥰🥰🥰
