I love talking to people who've seen "Top Gun: Maverick" but only see the Hangman x Rooster relationship at face value.
Me: Hangman and Rooster definitely dated before
Them: Well yeah, it does seem like there's a little bit of sexual tension there
Me: A LITTLE?
Them: Yeah, but Hangman obviously caused Rooster to dump him because he's a dick, right?
Me:
Tumblr media
Me: Hangman was definitely a dick before, but he also definitely became a dickier dick because Rooster broke his heart.

listen listen listen I'm having my second top gun phase and i've just made a collection of the BEST OF THE BEST fics i've read in the fandom (tbh i might've still missed some) so i want to SHOUT ABOUT HOW GREAT THEY ARE. bear with me.
these authors' stories deserve all the love!!! i just want to know which format is most preferred:)
either way i will gush about these fics because a lot of them have directly influenced my work and have encouraged me to be better in writing, so they actually have changed my life so much:)))
[ps. these fics range from gen to explicit, from icemav to hangster and even some that have no romantic ships. i have them all in an easter basket and my easter bunny costume is so ready]

Questions I Ask My Beta Readers
"Did you like it?" just doesn't cut it when you're trying to get useful feedback, so here's some questions that get your reader really thinking about your work:
What are your general impressions after reading? How did you feel when the book ended? 
(For fantasy/sci-fi) What did you find most confusing about the world? What did you find the most interesting? What do you want to know more about? 
Were there any scenes that broke your suspension of disbelief? Which ones? Why?
Which chapters were the hardest to get through? Did you find yourself skimming the text at any point in the story? 
Which character was your favorite? Which was your least favorite? Why? (Note that this question is best when asking multiple readers. If one person really dislikes a character, it could be personal preference. If multiple people can't stand a character for the same reason.... well, that's a problem you need to fix. Unless, of course, you want your readers to hate that character. Just make sure that their hatred enhances the reading experience instead of ruining it).
Did you get any characters confused or mixed up? If so, did this make the story hard to follow?
What was the most suspenseful moment in the book? What was your favorite moment of the story? What was your least favorite moment in the story? Why?
Which setting in the book was clearest to you as you were reading it? Which setting was the most difficult to envision?
Did you feel there was a lot of info dumping at any point? If so, where?
How do you feel about the plot? Were there any parts that confused you or seemed nonsensical/ illogical?
Did you feel any part of the story was predictable? Do you have any predictions for the next book(s)? If so, what are they? (Again, another question that's best when asking multiple readers. Be aware of your audience here. Some people, especially those who read a lot, are really good at predicting where stories are going to go. If those people are able to guess what happens next, that might actually be a good thing, because it could indicate that your story is progressing logically. Too much predictability is a problem, but a little isn't bad. This question is just to make sure the plot twists/progression aren't painfully obvious to most readers).
What plot holes did you find in the story so far? 
Were you invested in the story? If so, at what point did you become invested? Did you lose this interest at any point? (The second point here is really good for determining whether you have a slow beginning. Sometimes readers might really like your story overall, but would not have gotten past the first few chapters if they were reading it for fun instead of as a favor for you. This happened to me last time I asked someone to read my work, and it made it clear how much of the beginning I needed to rewrite entirely).
Any other questions or comments?

currently writing a v depressing shameless fic so here are some songs that remind me of ian's arc!
tappin' out, in my head i see bright lights, riding in, i think i'm feeling it now just like you did
i don't wanna feel better, no one's ever gonna love me like that again, i don't wanna get over you, i wanna sit with you in bed
you could still be what you want to, what you said you were, when i met you
i wanted nothing but for this to be the end, for this to never be a tied and empty hand, if all the trouble in my heart would only mend, i lost my dream, i lost my reason all again
dragons have silent eyes, cracked eggshells, fireflies, i don't wanna tame you, i don't wanna tame
when the night was full of terror, and your eyes were filled with tears, when you had not touched me yet, take me back to the night we met
it was more a mirage, in sickness and health, i showed you a body, like a cluttered garage
i can't be the same thing to you now, i'm just gone, just gone, how could i say goodbye?
i don't hate my body i'm just afraid of it, finding my self worth was never worth it, i wanna leave this party, i wanna soak my brain in bleach

ok so this is mostly fictional (except the thing with cutting ringo’s hair, would you believe)
anyways– in the anthology they also touched upon the beatles meeting the queen and the working class/upper class divide still being felt there and 
.. yeah if i were to make a beatles cartoon, protective brian epstein would be every episode :’D

i really need to sit down with some beatles writing friends because the nuances of this group are so insane. like the potential relationship and character studies are actually endless.

as a family-accredited paul girlie, everything i write will be from his perspective and i accept no criticism of that.

the prophet of mclennon
i just KNOW within the next few years there’s gonna be some oscar bait-y beatles biopic released that portrays john and paul’s relationship as a twisted codependency and it’s gonna cast some attractive young actors and there will be an inevitable rise of paul/john shipping that brings rpf discourse into the mainstream. i just know it.

please go and show this comic some love! it's such an amazing look into the paul is dead theory and has a crazy characterisation of fake paul as well as incredible art :)
Tumblr media
alright this is the beginnings of a little interpretation i have of the paul is dead theory bc i think it’s interesting. to clarify, the one in the beginning is billy shears, not paul, he just looks very very similar to paul. hopefully i have motivation enough to continue this so that it actually gets interesting this is only just the beginning !

this is not a serious armchair diagnosis, but someone analyze John possibly having BPD with me. like, all the signs were there: abandonment issues, unstable moods, irritability, having unstable self image, depressed, substance abuse, impulsivity, extreme jealousy, risk taking behavior, compulsive behavior, grandiosity, and last but not least- having a "favorite person." He literally seemed to have the textbook symptoms.
So, what do y'all think?
(and this post isn't made to put him down in any way, but to try and understand him and empathize).

December 1983
Even Russel Harty is struck by Paul’s beauty!  My absolute favorite part is George Martin laughing in the background.  He’s been watching people swoon over Paul for 20 years at this point.
