So, for those who don't know, there is a phenomenon called Chemo Curls where, after your hair falls out due to the chemotherapy, sometimes when it grows back post-treatment, it will have a new significant curl pattern to it even if the patient didn't have curls before

What I'm saying is Iceman has curly hair once he beats cancer and also he has no idea how to handle it for the longest time (Sunny educates him on how to handle curl patterns even tho Sunny has much tighter curls, same principles apply)

Viper: I have to go out of town for a couple weeks. [points right in Maverick's face]...So whatever you're thinking of doing - don't. Maverick:......OK. (Viper leaves, Maverick turns to Iceman) Maverick(to Ice): Too bad, you probably would've had fun. (Mav slaps Ice on the shoulder and walks away, Ice pauses as he considers what he meant - then realization seems to dawn on him, and Sundown and Chipper burst out laughing)

I can't wait to see this version of miles in action

Marcus Williams - Static Shock 

Eye Lie Popeye #1 by Marcus Williams. Cover by Williams. Out in May.

"Popeye, arguably one of the most iconic characters in comic book history, makes his return to comic shops this May. The century old comic strip and legendary cartoon character is reimagined for the modern age, in this brand new series by Marcus Williams (Marvel's Captain America). Popeye: Eye Lie Popeye reimagines the pop culture staple in a high-energy, manga-inspired monthly comic series that explores Popeye's past and finally reveals the century-long mystery of how he lost his eye! Was it an epic battle or some nautical accident? The truth finally comes out as an old enemy from the sea returns to face off against the legendary Sailor Man. With the rich history of the character and this action-packed new take lifted from the pages of top-selling manga like One Piece and Dragon Ball, Eye Lie Popeye will appeal to both traditional comic fans and younger manga readers alike."

I keep seeing Western AUs for Top Gun (basically just @forsty and @caveiratimida with the good stuff out here) so here's something I've thought of purely because I began watching someone new on youtube who's background music sounds like ragtime music.

Goose and Carole own a bar. Penny Benjamin also works here. Goose is not a cowboy, he plays piano and has a twirly moustache, getting his nickname from how he rode into town on the back of a cart carrying geese, and his laugh of course. They may not be cowboys (or girls) but they know their customers enough to know how to handle a gun. There's been enough bar fights over what song Goose plays that Carole and Penny have had to master the art of intimidation.

They're on good terms with the local Sheriff Thomas Kazansky and his deputy Ronald Kerner (this is from this specific post by @caveiratimida ). They're on especially good terms with Ron, nicknamed Slider after he fell asleep on his horse and slid off, who can sometimes be found frequenting their saloon after hours and has come out wearing the frilly shirts that Goose wears.

Some of the others are there too, Hollywood is called that (before hollywood was a thing) because he got a holly christmas wreath stuck around his head one Christmas. Wolfman is called that because he is rumoured to have been raised by the wolves on a mountain nearby. Chipper was a lumberjack, that's about it. Sundown rode into town (there's a lot of this but it's frontier times so this is just another new mining town out west during the gold rush, also yes the 1800/1900s are my favourite period in history) on a sunset and was the perfect picture of a cowboy. Iceman used to brag about taking cattle to the more snowier regions before (if that was even a thing) so he was sarcastically called Iceman, before he became a sheriff.

But then a rogue lone ranger comes into town starting trouble, starts a few bar fights in Goose and Carole's saloon, messes with people's horses and cattle. Turns out, after Iceman books him and he's in a cell, that he's a bounty hunter.

Iceman doesn't like him, hates that he can just go out there and do his job for him. Mav doesn't like that Iceman is so restricted by the law, if you want to do good, you do good despite the law because you know it's good.

Stuff happens, pregnant Carole riding a horse, pregnant Carole with a shotgun, Bradley with a straw hat walking around in the mud, Goose with a harmonica, western stuff

(Maverick is VERY hyper) Hollywood:...I think Ice forgot to take him for a walk today. Wolfman: So, take him outside and play frisbee with him. Hollywood: I don't have a frisbee! Sundown: Does anybody have a tennis ball he can play fetch with? Slider: Maybe find something he can chew on. Wolfman: Well, we need to do something before he destroys the furniture...! Sundown: Yeah, cuz last time was bad... Hollywood: That was Viper's favourite chair...

After stints with the Bears and Broncos, veteran CB Kyle Fuller, 30, gets perhaps a final chance with the Ravens after signing a one-year deal today. The Ravens are looking to add some depth to their secondary behind CBs Marlon Humphrey and Marcus Peters.

With S Marcus Williams and rookie standout S Kyle Hamilton, the Ravens defense should greatly improve from last season where they allowed the most passing yards (4,986) and gave up a franchise-worst 31 touchdown passes.
