There's only one correct answer to the question "who is Hangster's greatest enemy?"

And it's "Keith".

Absolutely! But I could also imagine him with a red tail. Or dark orange with white stripes. There's a fish that has that pattern, but I can't remember the name.

If Bradley Bradshaw was a mermaid what color would his tail be?

please help a writer friend out :) i have some ideas but i wanna know what the fandom thinks

[beezelarts]

Why is it always the problematic White boy tho?😂😂

no mav in this poll!

reblog for bigger sample size

[beezelarts]

That last one is so real tho😂😂

Decided to make one of these for Top Gun: Maverick too, you know... to dispel the pain I caused with my last post...

And they were roommates "both stranded".

For @topgunalternateuniverse. Bingo space: Pirates, Hangster.

And might I add: Jake buying Bradley an array of hair products (high-end shampoo, conditioner, etc.) because he loves braiding and generally playing with his boyfriend's hair.

Jake really seems like he was blessed with natural beauty. But perhaps he was a small bean pole until he was eighteen and had to work really hard to build up muscle mass, whereas Bradley needed to go to the gym once a week to stay in shape.

Jake has an 11 step skin care routine and Bradley uses hand soap to wash his face

This post was inspired by @yeagrave 's latest Hangster fanart.

It's WW2-themed, and it made me think whether Hangster met before or during the war. And I'm a huge fan of the Italian!Jake headcanon, so I thought: "What if Jake is actually an Italian soldier and gets captured during the overtake of southern Italy by the Allies..."

For those of you who are not familiar with the Second World War: originally, Italy fought alongside the Germans until 1943. The Allies arrived in southern Italy, and in the end, Italy changed sides and fought alongside the Allies against Germany. (I'm not an expert, though. This is just a brief... something.)

Later, in 1944, the Americans arrive in Europe and Jake meets Bradley and they fall in love. After the war, Jake decides to come to the US with him.

Featuring:

1. The Daggers as soldiers/sailors/aviators (or whatever).

2. Phoenix as a nurse who is working for the Red Cross.

3. Coyote (or Bob, though I prefer Coyote) as a doctor. Coyote/Bob is Phoenix' protector. He knows that she's very capable and their roles are technically reversed. It's just that women weren't allowed to be field medics back then.

Imagine Jake and Bradley meeting and Jake doesn't speak English (and vice versa), but Bradley is so charmed, and somehow, slowly, they get to know each other ❤️❤️❤️

Oh, that is everything I didn't know I needed. Thank you for your service, @yeagrave !!!

hello hello! I think it would be cool too see WWII hangster (if that's something you're interested in!!)

Okay, I've had those thoughts for a while and I need to get this out of my system:

Sometimes (quite often, actually), I hope that the ship I'm rooting for doesn't become canon.

This especially applies to non-canon LGBT ships because, let's be honest, most of them are.

(I also hope that nothing happens that directly contradicts it, like one of the characters being in a romantic relationship with another character outside of the ship.)

The reason for that is that the best thing about being in a fandom is the fanfic culture. Especially the fanfics around the "getting together" and the characters' origins. It's such a nice empty space that can be filled by the fans and so many great ideas. Making a ship canon takes away so much empty space, so there's less opportunity to get creative. It's just my opinion because I love the stories in which the characters finally get their shit together and go on a date.

Making it canon, though, means that the dynamic and history of the relationship are already mostly discovered and determined.

It's nice to have Hollywood acknowledging that LGBT people exist, though.

But I'd be perfectly content if the actors/creators of the books/series/movies simply gave us enough material that heavily implies that there is something between the characters without explicitly confirming it. The actors/creators supporting it would be another bonus.

This is the inspiration for this post btw.

Also: Action movies need more women. I want more lesbians!!! And shipping non-canon in romantic books/movies/series is really fucking hard.

Let's just collectively agree within the LGBTQ community (+allies) that we're simply not going to watch the movie if it's suggested that they are in relationships with other women.

At least half the audience of Top Gun has to be the gays+allies, right? Aka: they make it straight, the movie is going to be a flop.

The thing that's making me just a little optimistic that they're not introducing female love interests is the fact that it's generally known that Top Gun has such a huge LGBT audience. They might not give us what we want (and deserve), but hopefully, they'll also not work actively against Hangster.

And there's at least one person involved in the movie making who knows that👆: Glen Powell.

You know, I truly did believe that Hangster was intentionally written/acted as canon. I truly truly did believe that they were subliminally suggesting it without being explicit for sake of the viewership. I may have been overly optimistic but I do think the script points in that direction, and conceptually it would be a symbolic step towards progressing with a new more open-minded generation.

But now that Top Gun 3, only a couple years down the line, is confirmed to be starring these two characters, I’m getting afraid that they’ll flip the switch because the odds of Hollywood actually making a gay love story between them are near zero. It would’ve been far more feasible that they’d write out a gay subplot for side characters (the way Hangman and Rooster were in TG:M). I don’t think they’ll be as willing to feature a gay relationship between two leads.

Since the spotlight is on them now and they can no longer have that side character subplot, I really worry that they’ll be introducing other partners (likely women) for these guys. It’s nerve wracking to think about where they’re taking this, but the potential also makes me giddy, even though I’m fairly certain canon Hangster just won’t happen if they’re the leads.

Ohhh those are all great. I had a really hard time choosing between D) Together or not at all and E) Online and anonymous. I chose E, eventually but D looks good, too. I just can't help it. This fandom needs more JavyNat content😆

So, my current WIPS are due to be all finished up in the next 5-10 days. So time to let the fics battle it out and figure out which two are taking the weekly update slots...

(I'm curious to see where this ends up, as I know there are some fic ideas here which some people are very invested in.)

If you need more details, it's in my pinned post in my blog, or it's just below the cut.

A) Where do I know you from? There are too many Jakes and Bradleys for Jake and Bradley to be dealing with. (Tumblr idea unspooling here...)

B) Sagas of Solitude 2/? - IceMav with side Hangster AU - angsty Nepo!Baby Bradley Bradshaw who has to keep his relationship with Mav and Ice a secret when he starts at the USNA. Featuring married Ice and Mav (but not to each other). Prologue He Remembers and Lonely Nights are both set in this verse.

C) To wake, perchance to dream - Jake wakes up in the future, gets a glimpse of what their life could be and then wakes up back right before being called back to Top Gun for the special detachment (e.g. TGM). (Tumblr post and the beginning of the fic)

D) Together or not at all... (SEQUEL) - Hangster - years after Javy/Nat get together they think their best friends (Hangman and Rooster) could maybe try dating each other. It'll either end in disaster or not.

F) Online and Anonymous - 1/16 Hangster who are anonymous Grindr buddies for YEARS, but then decide to meet. (Tumblr post)

H) Getting to know you from the beginning - an Ice/Mav epistolary fic where Jake and Bradley matchmake them, not realising exactly who it is they've matched together.

I) Life is too short to waste time matching socks... 2/? The peach and eggplant socks as an anonymous gift as an incredibly unsubtle hint that someone would like to fuck them. (tumblr idea unspooling here...)

K) Caring, Keeping and Collecting Transformers - A Guide - Transformers cross-over for help me @yeagrave is 110% to blame for me adding this... (related to this post) (Prologue)

The Maverick/Cyclone one is from Dance mor Dances, Take more chances and is the development of their relationship in that AU.

Hey! So for your art block reqs. I have this idea of Bradley and Phoenix at the gym and they're working out, weight lifting or whatever, while hangman and Bob/coyote (pick your poison) live slug react but in a horny way yk? Hope that made sense lol

Ps love your art 💚

Phoenix loves to torture them

#yes this is my jam #damn #its just perfect

[beezelarts]

Magnum Pi from the 80s (I think) was Jake's first crush 100%.

Jake would probably also thirst after Pedro Pascal. (Who wouldn't?)

Things you'll need (to get Hangman's heart)

Hawaiian shirt

Confidence

Moustache (optional)

Does anyone else have the urge to write the characters from top gun as asshole-ish and shitty as possible? Because I do. Because, to me, it makes them more relatable.

For example Mav pulling Rooster's papers and telling him that he's not ready to discourage him from joining the navy. Mav especially must know that there are ways to become an aviator without going to the academy. So, just to be shitty, I think that Mav tried to manipulate Rooster into not believing that he had what it takes to be a fighter pilot so he wouldn't try to get in through other ways.

Also: Carole.

She's such a sunshine in TG1986 but I like to think that she dulled after Goose died and fell into a depression. She tried not to let it show, especially in front of her son. She'd always talk about how great Goose was and try to guilt Mav into taking care of Rooster after she died (for example pulling the papers even though she knew it would break her son's heart). I also like stories in which she is kind of neglecting Rooster because she misses her husband so much. Sorry, I love stories in which it's not all sunshine and flowers.

Some of you might take it as an offense towards these characters, but... I just enjoy reading characters that have a massive amount of issues that make them assholes and perhaps even unlikable towards the audience.

hi op….i ADORE ur art & perchance would u ever drop some hangster cooking together sketches …. 🫶🫶🫶

cooking together (sort of...)<33

#oh my gooood #its so cute #im in love

[beezelarts]

hey , is "bottom = submissive"? i don't know how to put it, but for me hangman is a bottom but he's not really submissive? like is there a term for it? "bottom but domestic" kinda??

No, in my knowledge "bottom" Doesn't necessarily equal "submissive". I, too, think that Hangman would be a bottom but still dominant. At least when it comes to his relationship with Rooster.

[beezelarts]

Heyo!

I still need someone to explain to me how Mav pulling Bradley's papers cost Bradley 4 years. Is the Academy just 4 years quicker than the other ways?

Help, the US military confuses mee!!!!
