Friendly reminder that they-
ARE CHILDREN.
thinking about twink maverick and wondering how people think he’s a twink. genuinely. I look at these images and see, while yes a short man, a man who is also muscular and probably weighs a ton in pure muscle
If he’s a twink then everyone in that movie is a twink. and i dont think that’s correct.
According to wikipedia, this is what they say twinks are:
So let’s break this down.
1. Late teens to twenties
Sure. Maverick is in his twenties. But only looking at age would technically make me a twink so whatever. Let’s move on.
2. Slim to average physique
Maverick does not have an average physique. That man is built. He is in peak physical condition. He doesnt just sometimes work out, he is actively working out. Look at his arms! His trapezius! Those muscles are clearly developed and strong! In certain uniforms, his waist appears smaller, but that’s what the flight suit does to all silhouettes. Maverick is built like a brick, yes with hips, but he’s not little. He’s short of course, but he’s not small. He’s not lithe, he is muscular, he is BUILT! Look at the left bottom picture. Look at how rectangular. Look at how NOT lithe he is. Look at how not skinny he is. Like come on now.
3. Youthful/feminine appearance
While he is extremely youthful looking as Tom Cruise always appears, i disagree that tom cruise/maverick in Top Gun looks feminine. But that’s not to say that tom cruise has never appeared feminine or twink-like in any way. Legend (1985) is an example of his twink and feminine abilities. But for maverick i would argue that he looks very masculine. Boyish, which some argue is another visual feature for twinks, but not feminine (in my humble opinion).
4. Little to no body hair
To think that maverick has no body hair is just maverick unibrow erasure and i wont stand for it. But seriously. While tom cruise was waxed and oiled up for top gun, this is also happy trail erasure. I will now provide proof.
One of them is from mission impossible but um idc. It’s proof that Maverick HAS body hair, both around his chest and in … lower areas… but Maverick is not hairless enough to be a twink, especially because he doesnt fall into the other necessary categories to excuse/ignore his body hair.
5. (Kind of a half point because not all definitions and understandings of the word twink align with this) but it seems a lot of modern connotations of the word twink are parallel to exclusively bottoming
See here the most popular definition of the word twink on urban dictionary. I dont think that Maverick exclusively bottoms. Maverick FUCKS too. Like it’s not just Ice doing the fucking. Like Mav fucks. He fucks guys you dont understand he fucks.
Therefore, Maverick, in my opinion, is not a twink. He is Maverick. The end.
girlbulge is such a choice look i really wish it was more normalized
to the leading lady, who was on her own. || I spent so much time on this and I wanted it to see the day of light because I couldn’t stop thinking of this song and I couldn't place why. Because it makes me think of Phe. She's the only female lead that is in this movie for the purpose of meeting the goal - not a romantic conquest. A woman goal oriented, career oriented, her own friends and family questioning why she went the path she did. To be around people, mainly men making jokes at her expense (one of the reasons why she protects Bob - she's been there). She might be on her own on screen but there are so many ladies like her. For the Phoenixes. You're not on your own.
Bonus points if there are piggyback rides.
