More stuff about Top Gun! Steve Randel

So I know in the movie Tom Curise’s character’s call sign is Maverick and his real name is Pete, but Maverick in my opinion doesn’t fit Steve so I made it his middle name instead because I can. Call signs in the Navy and other branches come from inside jokes or characteristics of someone that the whole team agrees on. So, I’m making his call sign Wildcard mostly because all the ones I could think of didn’t sound good the more I said them out loud, plus I feel like it fits both Steve and Mav’s characters.

Doing more research while also rewatching Top Gun, the youngest you can be to start flight school to be a Navy pilot is 19 and you go through flight school for a minimum of 6 years. Now in Top Gun, Mav is 24 meaning he would have only gone for around four years unless he started flight school at a younger age. We also can assume he got into school because of his dad, so for the AU I’m making both Steve’s dad and uncle Navy pilots, his father MIA like in the movie and his uncle retired. He started flying at a young age going through flight school while also being a greaser. He never really felt a connection to flying until around the events of the rumble. He mostly worked on cars because it took his mind off of what happened to his dad until on day at the ripe age of 17 in a half, he decided to actually go to boot camp and become and actual Navy pilot in honor of his dad. Then the AU continues like the movie except for the whole him and Charlie thing, and instead him play flirting with her because he can.

I’m also scraping the idea of him leaving due to diabetes and instead making the reason he left being Goose’s death because he couldn’t stand the idea of another close friend of his dying. Then we go into him living a normal life back with the Curtis’s and Two-bit, then to the events of Top Gun Maverick.

Made some art for my Outsiders-Warrior cats at lol

(Yeah, I used a photo for the bg, I'm lazy)

This is Dallys death lol, yeah, my au is basically just a re-write of the outsiders

I did some au designs!!

The outsiders warrior cats Au.

Greasers are rouges/loners - stick together in small gangs and live outside but near houses and other buildings. some are ex-kittypets/clan cats.

Socs are kittypets - live in houses with two-legs, don't live in gangs but will often roam in groups

Middle class (Not that important just mentioning for clarity) are clan cats - live in large groups in the countryside, usually don't interact with kittypets or rouges

The main story is basically the same lol. Just something I came up with during art :3

Would anyone want this? (Please say yes)

The outsiders zombie au where ponyboy is the last human

First Johnny comes back as a zombie, than Dallas, and slowly, the rest of the greasers get turned and the rest of the story is just ponyboy going on adventures with a non hostile/peaceful zombie Johnny

this is such a cool au guys !! >0<

Stevepop drag racing / illegal street racing au mood board!!!!

Ok but like imagine if you will: disabled veteran Sodapop and Two-bit becomes a part time caretaker for him... yes...yes..

ok but consider this. horse!pet regressor Ponyboy and handler!Sodapop.

Sodapop brushes Pony's pretty blonde mane and braids it the best he can and feeds him cut up apples from his hand. He gives Ponyboy sponge baths cause he's afraid to be submerged in water. and that's how you groom a horse, anyhow. When Ponyboy gets spooked or triggered Soda just scratches his cheek and whispers all soft til his breathing slows down. Darry can't wrap his head around it, but he plays into it cause he just wants his baby to be ok.

au where darry and soda are adults when their parents die n ponyboy is still a little kid... (hc under the cut)

All of Pony's fifth grade classmates ate lunch with their parents at one time or another. They'd skip to the lunch room holding Mama and Daddy's hands and Ponyboy would bury his face in his tray so no one would see him cry. Snot nosed ten year olds would ask him why his parents never showed up. He didn't know how to tell them that his Mama and Daddy were sleeping under cold dirt.

One night Ponyboy comes home from school, teary eyed and deflated like a birthday balloon that's been kept too long. Soda rushes to help put away his backpack and take off his shoes, (which he was much too old for now, really) and sees his wet ruddy cheeks and scoops him up like he's still a little fawn.

"Pone, what's wrong baby?"

Pony sniffles all pitiful. "All the other kids get to each lunch with their parents. And I-" He wails.

"I have to eat all alone!"

Soda's pretty brows scrunch and he coos and sways his baby side to side. Darry appeared like an answered prayer, leaning over Soda's shoulder to wipe the salty tears from their little brother's cheeks. Darry makes a promise right then that he'll make it to lunch with Ponyboy no matter what.

"I'll be there tomorrow honey, I swear it." Darry says with staunch absolution.

The next day, Ponyboys sitting in the lunchroom on the squeaky little chairs, playing with his green beans and feeling just awful. He glances to the doorway like clockwork every minute, waiting for Darry to show up. Probably five minutes pass, and Pony's heart is smarting fiercely and he's losing hope when the double doors fly open. Darry rushes in, all sweaty and dusty from work, smiling in a way that's reserved only for his brothers. Ponyboy flies out of his seat and shoots to Darry's chest like a bullet.

"Told ya i'd make it." Darry whispered into his slick hair.

The other kids are staring frog -eyed now.

"Is that yer Dad, Pony?" Some yellow haired girl shouts.

He preens pink under his big brother's arm, puffing his chest out. "Yup. Sure is."
