Layne and Demri

When they’re all happy together 

Omg I am so freaking excited for the next chapter of slow down (you’re doing fine). Like frothing at the mouth, jumping up and down and squealing loud enough to scare my roommates type of excitement. I love, love, love that fanfic and it makes so unbelievably happy to just read the sample, especially from Bradley’s perspective. It’s so much fun to learn a little more about Hangman, Rooster, Ice and Maverick every chapter. I am dying for the reveal at some point that Maverick is in fact The Godfather and that the COMPACFLT is Maverick’s husband. Hangman and the other Daggers won’t know what hit them, they are so clueless.

Also I just recently discovered you other fic ( sometime I feel like) a monkey pilot and I am once again in love with your characterization of Bradley and how supportive Ice and Maverick are. It’s such a beautiful story with so much emotion and I don’t know how I managed to miss seeing it for so long. I feel so bad for Jake as well because it must feel like he’s some how switched realities with all the changes that are hitting him right now, but I also kind of want to punch him for being such a dick.

Finally, I just have one quick question. I noticed that you head-cannon that Maverick is older than Ice and was wondering why that was? I am not against it or anything I am just curious to see how other people determine ages for characters when they are not officially stated in the original movie or book. For movies and tv shows, I just usually base it on the actor’s age unless this is like wildly off for some reason.

Oh my god I'm so sorry it's taking so long, adhd and life hits you at the worst moment I'm afraid...

this is going to be a technical spoiler but I'll just say that there's part two of the series that will be called I took the good times (I'll take the bad times) that will show the sixteen weeks after slow down and Bradley and Jake navigating how to actually be together -- this is where the funny family meeting stuff and first breakdowns would happen.

there will be a small 5+1 fic about Mav and Ice that's, well, that's the summary: five times Ice waited for Mav and one time Mav was ready for him. will be called we have all the time in the world (all the love). Because, a bit of a spoiler even if it was alluded in slow down, Ice and Mav haven't actually gotten together until Bradley was, like, eleven in this 'verse

also i'll say I'm glad you're enjoying monkey pilot! that fic is my ugly child and honestly, I have not expected such warm reception for it... I think I'm incapable of not writing Mav as a parental figure and since I'm also incapable of killing off Ice, he's going to be babytrapped in most of my fics 🤷‍♂️

as for Mav and Ice's age, I either headcanon them as of the same age (born same year) with Mav having his birthday in September and Ice in November/December, or that Mav is actually a year older. I think this is a cultural thing since in Poland some people believe the month you're born would define your personality. It's especially more common in the region I'm from and present mostly in the more superstitious older generation - I was mostly raised by my grandma and still kinda believe that people born in Sep are more temperamental, impulsive, wild but also fiercely loyal and people born Nov/Dec are more cool-headed, calculating and goal-orientated. It doesn't make much sense I'm afraid, it's just me finding the months suitable to their personalities?? As for the 'Mav is older', I assumed that could be a possibility as it's implied that he went to the OCS after college (either in the top gun novel or the movie??) since he wasn't able to get into USNA and I thought that could set him back a year -- and since he seems to have the same amount of experience as the rest of the NAs and RIOs, I thought he might actually be older.

Thank you for your kind, kind words, you don't even know how nice it feels to read your asks or comments. Hope you're doing well 💙

We are the strongest to i am the strongest

okay but imagine if murray met dustin and el. well, he’s met them but he hasn’t murray-ed them and i need him to murray them.

omg that would be the perfect kick for them to finally get their thoughts and feelings together!

"yes, we like Mike, but we don't love Mike"

"I-...." *silence*

"fuck of from her. and I still have Suzie, baldy man"

"Oh yes, that mysterious girl from your walkie. We also like her, but do we think about her before sleep and miss her as much as we miss... *looks pointly at El* ....other people?"

"that's-"

*El gently places her hand on Dustin's hand*

"papa. what do you know about him"

*El just cutting of that topic, even tho both her and Dustin won't stop thinking about it until something happens...*

S.A.D.R.R

first of all, hi winter!! its been a while haha

second, what’s this movie you’re posting about? im very curious

Oh my, hi!!! Love to see you again haha 💜

Oh, yes, so, the tittle is "professor Marston and the wonder woman" and it focuses on the polyamorous relationship (triad) of the man who created Wonder Woman comics!

As far as I know, man was very private about his life, so movie is mostly a fictional creation but it is true that man was in polyamorous relationship and that Wonder Woman was based on, well, bdsm.

But movie is really great when it comes to polyamory representation! Denial of partners, rejection of their relationship by society, how it affected them, how they try to live while still being in triad, how it affects kids... All in all, it's really great! It isn't perfect, of course, but it's good enough to say it's a rather positive than negative polyamory representation!

Oh, it also has lots of aesthetic/pretty montages and some light +18 scenes but it's nothing too much.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by and sending ask! Love you see you again haha 💜🫶

i love you WEIRD SCIENCE MIKU!!!!!

holy shit wait its groundhog day

I love Freddie Mercury so much oh my god

Hi just wanted to drop in and say hello. It’s been a minute since I put in an ask and I was looking at some of your old posts about potential fics. Thus, I wanted to ask you about the one called ‘all the time in the world (all the love)” that’s about Ice waiting for Mav to be ready. I was just wondering if that is in the works or that’s just an idea for later maybe?

Also wanted to thank you for the new chapter of monkey pilot. I absolutely loved it and it was freaking amazing. I know it came out a bit ago and I meant to come talk about it on tumblr but I lost track of time. Thank you so much for all your hard work. I am currently distracting myself with life while I wait for slow down’s new chapter. I hope you are well and hope you know you can reach out to me anytime of you’d like too. You are never a bother.

Hey there again! Thank you so much, I absolutely love your asks/comments and I'm glad that you're enjoying my works but please don't feel obligated to every comment/send asks - I'm writing for my and everyone's enjoyment and don't expect anything else from anyone.

I have many ideas that will probably never be finished and I try not to make promises, but all the time in the world (all the love) is something that is planned, all the dialogue is written out and one of the final scene is written in total actually. I just want to finish slow down first and one of its scenes is a torture atm (the hangster breakup from Bradley's POV).

Dunno how much I said about that extra/prequel but it's a 5+1 things fic, five times Ice waited for Mav, and one time Mav realized he was ready. So it'll very much relate to what I think I told you about Mav's advice and his and Ice's relationship in the other ask reply. Scenes in it will include: Ice and Mav's first kiss, Slider being done with Ice's pinning, Mav's return from Bosnia, Ice's dad's funeral, It's not going to be very long, maybe 10k tops.

I'm glad you're enjoying like a monkey pilot, too. Both of the fics are so dear to me, I'm still surprised there are people who are reading them with the same emotions as I do.

Hope you're doing okay and thank you again for all your messages 💙

I'm also going to mention here for you and anyone else who's ever not gotten much of a response from me but I'm very bad at written communication (ironic, given I'm fic writer, yeah). I think it mostly stems from my inability to read tone from text due to adhd/autism and some trauma concerning speaking I have from childhood, but it can make me seem unapproachable and is the reason I don't partake in social media/discord. The top gun fandom and its people are majority awsome but I just don't have the psyche to participate in discussion much. I really appreciate people who keep on reaching out despite that

And the not super thrilling lost in translation conclusion… 🇮🇹 mamma mia! I listened to this video to get the vibes for Mario and Luigi‘s argument lmao

Read Part 2 here

Also!! The Smasha you on a rock line is from the mario heritage post itself. It never fails to make me sensibly chuckle. :]
