The event Goose is referring to, when he tells Maverick he must have carnal knowledge "of a lady this time" was the night before they were deployed on the Enterprise.
Maverick had been boasting about being able to pick up a date anywhere so, when they walked into the bar to find it apparently full of exclusively men (and mostly navy men at that), Goose bet Maverick $20 that he wouldn't be able to find some to go home with that night.
What Goose had apparently underestimated, was just how persistent Mav could be when presented with a challenge. Totally unphased, he struck up a conversation with a taller man sitting at the bar. Mav steadily, not so subtly, began flirting with him and he good-natured flirted back, until Maverick began to proposition him for real.
That was about the point when Goose realised that his dumbass of a pilot was actually serious, and pulled him away, marching him back home before he could get any of them into trouble.
The next morning, they were greeted with something of a surprise... Boarding the Enterprise, they were introduced to other members of their squadron and, typically of Pete Mitchell's propensity for shenanigans, there was the man from last night.
Goose felt about ready to expire with embarrassment on Mav's behalf. Pete just groaned, letting his head fall into his hand. The stranger, however, thought it was hilarious and just burst out laughing. He introduced himself as Cougar, and the man beside him (his RIO) as Merlin.
"Goose. Maverick." Nick responded, giving his pilot a long-suffering look.
Pete just groaned, again. Cougar laughed. "Well, I'm sorry to have to break your heart then, Maverick," He teased, "But, I'm married."
Mav opened his mouth and then shut it again. "You're- You- Why- Why the hell were you flirting with me, then?" He managed to get out, semi-outraged.
Cougar shrugged and nodded at Goose. "I heard your friend here make you a bet. Figured it wouldn't hurt to humour you a little, help a brother out y'know."
A grin began to spread it's way across Maverick's face. He threw an arm round his new acquaintance. "You know, Cougar, I think you and I are going to be very good friends."
Cougar laughed. "Count on it."
This is the funniest thing I have read all week ššš
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: Itās 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 Finnickās kids could climb a fucking tree,
Finnick hiding laughter
Brutus: At least our kids made it past the blood bath, canāt say the same for either of yours.
Johanna: I bet you wish theyād kept one of mine around right about now.
Gloss: its fine, sheās 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: thatās embarrassing, for the careers. Cato will get her, he doesnāt miss.
Cato fires arrow and misses
Brutus: Oh my god, I canāt 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,
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: Sheās 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,
Katniss plots with rue to blow up food
Gloss: they arenāt 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 outā¦
Johanna (drunk): LOOSERS HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
Finnick: ok Jo, come on, thatās enough for you,
Takes her alcohol
Johanna: no fairrrr, you never take Haymitchās 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 doesnāt 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: Didnāt 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.
Mav: Hello Merlin, this is the pointy end. Just wanted to let you know we'll be landing without number one hydro.
Merlin: What? Why???
Mav: Oh, I don't know, just to see if I can.
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 sheās 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.
(Thanks to Len for the colors on the second picture <3333333333)
OH MY GOSH THESE ARE SO GOOD!!!
Thunderbirds are Go + Posters [2/?]
Yeah they're gonna say that
He ain't the kind to hold my hand
He ain't gonna try to understand
Nothing under the surface
He's just looking for a pretty face
But they got it all wrong
I got it all right
They say they just don't see it
But I saw it at first sight
- Unapologetically (by Kelsea Ballerini)
So we were in our lil pool at home, and an infinity or little plastic balls were hanging around because my bro loves them.
Out of joking I say "here's the Tracys" while I take a group of balls blue, green, orange, yellow, and the last one that is red (and the only one red in the pool).
He observes the balls one by one and then, noticing that Red Ball⢠has sunk and does not float like the others, he remarks with a "Alan is fat".
After a while I accidentally step on a blue ball, and when I bring it back to the surface itās all crumpled. At this point bro looks at the ball, and calmly says "Scott is dead". Well, rip Scott.
Even later I try to empty the Red Ball, which in the meantime no longer floated because it was punctured. Bro tries to stop me, so I say to him, "Then you filled Alan with water! Look how fat he is now!" He looks at me and then yells "Alan likes to be fat!" trying to steal my ball. If you say so.
I put myself in the pool, but Bro comes up and says, "Scottās out of air." I mean, thatās why heās dead, isn't he?
I dive after a while, and when I resurface I see Bro hugging a purple ball. He notices Iām looking at him and he says, "Grandma Tracy needs love." Aw. After a while he wants to point out that "Grandma needs love, but not her cooking." If she hears you..
After a while I hear Bro shouting "WHERE IS VIRGIL??" We look for him together (because although there are at least 15 green balls in the pool the darkest one had to be Virgil), and in the end we find him on the ground. Bro says "go and see if itās flat" to me. I remain silent for a while and then I say "Sorry, but is he on drugs, thatās all full of holes?". He answers with a "maybe. He deserves it." .. k fam.
Once Bro is reunited with the Tracy brothers I hear him yelling again, only this time heās like, "Youāre grounded!" to a fuchsia ball that should be Kayo. Then he continues with a "YOU TOO PENELOPE, GET GROUNDED!" and he proceeds to remove from the water a pink ball and a fuchsia one and place them in his hat. It is not known how, but even Grandma Tracy ends up grounded.
After a while I hear him shouting "Best Thunderbird of The Day!" and then I answer "Who is the Best Thunderbird of the day?". He, without even looking at me goes "Scott!" but then corrects himself. "Not Scott, but Thunderbird 1." I say, "Look, Scottās dead." He says, "Iām trying to fill him with life." Okay, go ahead. Fill Scott with life.
So that's all. Alan is fat, Scott is dead, Virgil is on drugs and all the girls are grounded. Seems fair to me (?).
In conclusion, I love my Bro (and the Tracy's, obvi).
My loves š
Top Gun: Maverick A Mav x Penny Gifset for y'all!
More gifsets and stills on my blog/mostly focusing on TG and M:I. Any gif or still suggestions? Ask Box is open
Personally adopting all of these headcanons. I love them!
Just some thoughts about my fav WSO and her interactions with her fellow airmen ā¤ļø
She's Omaha's wingman (no pun intended) because even though he's fine as hell, he's horrible at flirting with women. She was ecstatic when he finally asked out the nuclear engineer she befriended on an aircraft carrier.
She loves playing bartender. She first started making mocktails, but progressed into more advanced alcoholic drinks. She eventually got her liquor license and is the only pilot Penny allows behind the bar.
Her Mandarin sometimes slips into her English subconsciously. It's mostly a lot of åå (ÄiyÄ, kinda like a sigh of frustration). She says it for any level of inconvenience, whether it be dropping her pen or when Omaha decides to invert the plane unannounced š
She can literally fall asleep anywhere. If you gave her a blanket and a pillow, she could probably fall asleep on the tarmac.
When Halo brought Fritz and Yale home for Lunar New Year, her family instantly instantly hit it off with them. Even the aunties tried to set them up with their daughters.
She has a really good singing voice that carries and is Rooster's go-to duet partner when he's playing a song on the piano with two singing parts.
Her vision corrects to 20/20 with contacts, but she sometimes uses her glasses if her eyes are irritated. She loves her glasses because she deliberately chose the chunkiest pair the store had (think 1980s plastic square frame glasses).
She regularly quotes sci-fi movies, even if no one understands the references. Fanboy was so excited when he realized she was also a Trekkie.
There's a soundtrack playing in her head 24/7. Sometimes she'll just randomly bop her head and tap her pen to whatever she's jamming out to in her mind.
Her favorite pair of sunglasses were picked out by Phoenix at a gas station in Lemoore. She got them matching ones in different colors.
She usually doesn't lie, but when she does, you can tell because she scrunches her nose (it's adorable)
so I was talking to nibenhu about John loving Star Trek and we decided (x) the massive nerd would totally have a uniform tucked away somewhere and oops my hand slippedā¦
