GUYS IT'S REAL

Virgil 💚

@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.

I had a whole explanation written up about this and then it all got lost when I moved my hard drives into a new computer setup. ;a; Basically this came about from a lot of Star Trek and many chats with @lenle-g about the Thunderbirds Star Trek AU she was involved in ages ago. And, of course, how EOS would fit in.

In short, it boils down to her being an orphaned Betazoid child who stows away on the Thunderbird after they show up to investigate what happened to the ship she was on. After she’s found (and tries to stab J'onn out of fear), she ends up being taken in by J'onn as the only crewman who could help in part with her uncontrolled telepathic abilities. And, while she was only supposed to be on the ship temporarily… she bonds well enough with her half-vulcan caretaker that he ends up adopting her instead.

This is the funniest thing I have read all week 😂😂😂

Somewhere in Panem with the victors the 74th year

Katniss climbing the tree

Gloss: Really Haymitch, this is the girl that got an 11 as a training score??

Cato falls

Haymitch: At least she got up the fuckin tree.

Cashmere: It’s fine someone else will get her.

None if the carriers climbing

Enobaria: You gotta be kidding me.

Johanna and Finnick join on the couch

Johanna: Even Finnick’s kids could climb a fucking tree,

Finnick hiding laughter

Brutus: At least our kids made it past the blood bath, can’t say the same for either of yours.

Johanna: I bet you wish they’d kept one of mine around right about now.

Gloss: its fine, she’s a sitting duck, they can just shoot her, its not like she can dodge it, or move.

Glimmer misses shot

Haymitch: Did that girl ever hit any target with her arrow? Because mine did.

Cashmere: We told her to grab a short distance weapon, she has no aim.

Enobaria: that’s embarrassing, for the careers. Cato will get her, he doesn’t miss.

Cato fires arrow and misses

Brutus: Oh my god, I can’t watch this, im getting second hand embarrassment.

Haymitch: Can none of your kids climb a tree???

Cashmere: I guess not.

Marvel throws spear and misses

Finnick: None of them can aim either, this is just sad

Peeta: lets wait her out, she has to come down at some point.

Haymitch laughing hysterically,

Some time later

Katniss starting to cut down tracker jackers

Gloss: Did all our kids seriously fall asleep,

Cashmere rubbing her temples: Yea, they did

Johanna: Who sleeps that heavily in the arena??? Shes making so much noise how are they not awake?

Enobaria: She’s gonna die from those jackers before that nest falls,

Nest falls and careers scatter

Brutus: I need another drink,

Glimmer dies

Johanna: HAH HOW DOES IT FEEL HAVING YOUR CAREER BE TAKEN OUT BY THE DISTRICT 12 GIRL!

Cashmere: no comment,

Some more time later

Katniss plots with rue to blow up food

Gloss: they aren’t gonna fall for that.

They fall for it

Haymitch: you were saying?

Enobaria: This year sucks

Katniss kills Marvel

Johanna (drunk) : HAH BOTH OF YOUR TRIBUTES TAKEN OUT BY THE 12 GIRL!

Gloss: Ok im leaving now.

Cashmere: yea i think im also gonna head out…

Johanna (drunk): LOOSERS HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

Finnick: ok Jo, come on, that’s enough for you,

Takes her alcohol

Johanna: no fairrrr, you never take Haymitch’s alcohol

Haymitch: he knows not to mess with me

Finnick: Every time you get drunk, you end up in a fist fight, or breaking something, or both, Haymitch just passes out.

Johanna: OH WHAT YOU WANNA FIGHT LETS FIGHT!

Finnick picks Jo up and carries her to the elevator as she continues screaming and fighting

Haymitch to Brutus and Enobaria: Haha, your tributes arent as cool as mineeee,

Brutus: at least our girl doesn’t look like she wants to vomit getting close to her supposed lover.

Finnick returns

Enobaria: that was fast?

Finnick: I locked her in her bathroom,

Haymitch: Didn’t she just break down the door last time?

Finnick: I handcuffed one of her hands to the pipes and the other to the door.

Elevator doors open revealing Johanna, drenched in water, still handcuffed to a pipe, and the door.

Finnick: I give up. *sits down*

Brutus: what the fuck is wrong with you.

Both Finnick and Jo simultaneously: A lot.

Best Moments from the TG:M Script

(Part 2)

10. More Nix and Bob being awesome.

11. Halo! (She has two lines in the script. The other one was nothing special but I kinda wish they'd kept this one.)

12. Hondo attempting to befriend Cyclone 🤣

13. Mav annoying Cain.

14. "Ominous."

15. That's surprising mature from Hangman. I like seeing this side of his character.

16. And again. Sort of. (That's almost ownship of his mistake...?)

17. "Generous."

18. More Bob and Phoenix being a great team.

BONUS!

What was Mav thinking about??? I need to knowwwwww!!!

I needed something to draw today so I ended up sketching this based off the RP thread I’ve been running with thespacenoodle​. (Which, for those of you who haven’t been following it, centers around EOS’s optical circuits malfunctioning, forcing her to rely on Alan for help.)

EOS isn’t exactly happy about having to rely on someone else for help but she’ll manage. And I think, once you get past all the “I’m not the baby of the family anymore” bit with Alan, he’d actually kinda like feeling like a “big brother.” (And I’m super happy with the way he came out. He’s a real cutie.)

Yessssss

THAT IS HOW WE DO.

Commander Shore: Gordon Cooper Tracy, your reputation precedes you

Gordon: Thank you, Sir

Commander Shore: Not a compliment

We Could've Been A Family

Some people long for a life that is simple and planned,

Tied with a ribbon,

Some people won't sail the sea 'cause they're safer on land,

To follow what's written,

But I'd follow you to the great unknown,

Off to a world we call our own.

Hand in my hand

And we promised to never let go,

We're walking a tightrope.

High in the sky,

We can see the whole world down below,

We're walking a tightrope.

Never sure, never know how far we could fall...

But it's all an adventure

That comes with a breathtaking view,

Walking a tightrope,

With you...

John 🧡

Oh there is definitely ice-cream!

Favourite Flavours:

Scott - Double chocolate.

Virg - Salted caramel.

John - He likes bubblegum ice cream, even though everyone else hates it.

Gordo - He will eat anything but his favourite is Ben and Jerry's Phish Food (duh!).

Allie - Chocolate ice cream and he always puts loads of sauce and marshmallows and sprinkles on it.

Kayo - Something a little bit out left field, like cherry, or cinnamon.

Who stocks the ice cream?

Virgil.

Who drowns their sorrows in ice cream?

Scott and Alan.

They've all probably done it at least once, though.

Who hates ice cream?

No-one hates ice cream. But, Grandma Tracy does hold something of a contempt for it, due to all the times her boys have turned to ice cream as a replacement for her terrible cooking.

Other ice cream shenanigans:

Sometimes John deliberately gives Virgil mint choc chip ice cream, because it's green, just to be annoying. It's not that Virg doesn't like mint, it's just wHy jOhN?

One year, for his birthday, Gordon made Alan a massive bowl of ice cream with, like the biggest pile of extra whipped cream and marshmallows and sweets and sprinkles and chocolate sauce that you have ever seen. It was the best birthday present ever.

Question of the day

Tracy brothers and ice cream.

Favourite flavours?

Who drowns their sorrows in ice cream?

Different flavours for different moods?

Who stocks the ice cream?

Who hates ice cream?

Ice cream memories?

Does ice cream play a role in the Tracy household?
