finally doing research about what the USNA is like so i can write my slider one-shot and uh what the fawk 😀 i guess you really have to want that commission

here i was with my first draft of my slider one-shot having ice & slider playing golf on the weekends & ice having a fake ID to get drunk in annapolis………. No. It Is Not Like Real College. I Understand Now.

#process poasting #sometimes i feel like stuff like this is common knowledge in this fandom & im out of the loop sometimes #ice as brigade leader 😚 but yeah damn there is a lot less room for fun here than i thought #& therefore as a writer less room for character developing details #you know my first indication it was not all fun and games should’ve been when I visited the USNA in october #and there were literal JAIL STYLE TURNSTILES to get onto the campus #hmmm those are there for decoration im sure #-me; october 2022 #20 year old midshipmen walking around buzzcutted and oakley sunglassed #idk. Depressing. Im ofc gonna take a moderated stance as i try to do in all my writing but #idk.#i know about airplanes not about naval bureaucratic shit like this #Maverick WANTED to go here? no wonder they didn’t let him in this is the LAST place he would fit in
