Silence is strange, unnerving and new. Pete, Maverick, spent every day of the last ten, fifteen, years swimming and fighting with sounds. In the middle of the sky, of the ocean and on the ground. His RIO's voice in his hears, Goose is his head, bunker mates, Bradley running around, Carole talking and singing along with the radio, the birds and that lonely sailor who used to play an old record player when he was on deck duty. The sound of his neighbour's cats in the middle of the night when he was back home, playin' just outside his window, and Tom snoring softly against his back, his chest and from the floor on nights were things used to go a little weird or Bradley had a nightmare and couldn't sleep in his own bed.

Silence, in Maverick experiences is even worse than death. While Goose was dying the sea was a constant background noise and with Carole it was the machines and doctors and the hospital, dying and living, in spit of her existence. But now, all there is silence. Tom sleeps on his side and even the oxygen machine is silently doing is work. Sometimes Mav wakes up in the middle of a nightmare to realize the nightmare isn't ending because his partner chest is barley moving at all. Tom used to talk and talk and talk for hours, filling spaces and rooms with words and gestures and his own body, moving with the wind and the precision he had behind a cockpit. Silent a lethal until his target was acquired, and then it was a cacophony of life. Now he talks with his hand and his expression, silent and lethal all the same, but Pete can only wait to hear a laugh that never comes. That won't come again. Tom recorded it all for him, words, songs, sounds and discussion, him and Slider playing poker and talking about nothing important, Bradley playing the piano and even them dancing in the middle of room, one of the many times. It's a library of sounds, one he can take with him wherever he wants without feeling guilty. Without feeling guilty because of his mourning and giving someone who is still alive and who's fighting every day to not change that.

Silence is new and unnerving, makes Maverick want to pack a bag and never look back. Tom said, a particular bad morning, that he'll always understand if going away would make him happier, he wouldn't blame him. Mav had broken a plate that morning, don't you dare to say that again. Fuck Ice, I'm not going anywhere. Tom had smile back, soft and sad, his eyes already miles away from their kitchen, probably thinking and adapting to a scenario is already real for him. It should hurt, he does, but Pete knows Tom likes to be ready for everything and hates not being able to fix what it's broken and hurting Maverick. He kisses Tom before leaving for work and when the other man smiles happily and, for a little while their faces are near each other, Pete can hear all the sounds that Tom still does: he's breathing, shifting and his pulse is strong under his finger.

Silence is unnerving, fastidious, brutal and makes Pete scream just to hear something other than nothing. Tom's voice used to be one of his favourite sounds but for now, and just for not much longer he hopes, is out of commission, but Tom is still alive and still moving around the house, in the garden, when he takes his hands and send him out to meet with Laura, Bob, Hondo and Penny, so then you can tell me all about it. Silence is unnerving, but silence is no more when Pete talks and narrates and lives and prospers making a mess out half of it but thriving anyway. Tom chuckles sometimes, a low and unsteady sound, and other he just looks fondly at him. And then all the sounds are back where they were supposed to be, where they were always, but Pete couldn't hear them.

But then, once the sounds are back and the silence is no more, Pete takes Tom back to them too and asks him out, with flowers and a stupid card. Tom's eyes are shiny when he sings chop chop, I have a date, help me to make myself beautiful before my husband comes around.

Pete laughs, Tom smiles at him and silence is no more.

#pete maverick mitchell #tom iceman kazansky #silence as metaphor #mav is grieving even before anything happens and it makes everything so big and impossibile to solve #ice offers a solution that's more a kick in the ass at the end of the day #first cancer arc #(what an ugly thing to tag) #hopeful ending #icemav #pete and his friends #date night #post top gun (1986) #otp: i heard from the heavens that clouds have been grey

wtf is even the point of western medicine fr

#been fighting this stupid ass flu SO hard #and all the crappy otc shit did nothing #until i was finally able to see my chinese medicine doctor #and literally everything he gave me kicked the majority of my symptoms in a few hours #lmAO #LIKE #CHEAPER THAN WESTERN MEDICINE TOO???? #is2g it’s all designed to make you spend more and more fucking money that’s all they care about #fever aches chills sore throat runny nose cough - all gone after 1 dose of herbs #and that’s only 1 of 4 for the day #anyway #go to your preferred trad doctor if you have a flu you’re gonna feel way better than whatever westerners give u #apple babble 🍎 #non fandom #also editing before anyone flips #i’m NOT against modern medicine #just the fucked up system that makes it so inaccessible #and the majority of western otc shit that literally does jack shit #gotta clarify bc there’s always that one person that’s like #‘AcUpUnCtUrE cAnT cUrE cAnCeR’ no shit sherlock #but some trad medicine legitimately works for low tier health conditions #and it’s more affordable in western countries #which some of us need bc we can’t fucking afford a $15000 doctor visit lmAO #exaggeration for dramatic effect so chill tf out thnx

God how do I use Tumblr again. Fuck...

#. big oof ( ooc ) #hi i lived. i kicked brain cancer's ass.

[vettesebas]

welp, let go from the temp job. not just me, all the temps who survived the Great Temp Culling a few weeks ago. you know, those of us left who pretty much made the IT department what it is right now. the ones who facilitated four city elections in 10 months with zero experience. the ones who were criminally underpaid from the start, lived through a middle manager leaving and not getting replaced, and still can't be kept due to budget restraints.

i shouldn't be surprised they did us so dirty. this job has smacked of mindblowing incompetence since day one. and to think i believed them when they have an end date of 2-3 months. that i had hope. some illusion of stability while i found something better. and our supervisor didn't even have the guts to tell us to our faces. fucking typical.

i can't even look at the pluses right now. i'm just so pissed and let down and kicked to the curb by capitalism, again and again and again.

#personal #i feel sick #capitalism is a cancer #i kicked ASS at this job and it just never fucking matters

i was having a very shitty day this past thursday (i've recently been diagnosed with cancer; it's not very advanced, but it's still cancer. i'm really overwhelmed right now) and my best friend got me to watch arcane: league of legends.

i am now busy shoving shippy stuff of the Much Older Villain x His Adopted Ward He Raised into my mouth because it's hitting all kinds of kinks for me.

incest (though most fics i see have it labeled as pseudo-incest), manipulation, a lot of very questionable scenes, their flirtations, the way jinx rubs herself on our villain, AGE GAP, the fact that silco would absolutely burn the world and his chance for peace down to protect jinx ----

i'm a jilco shipper and i'm not even sorry. it's so good. it's amazing.

so, you know, i'm head over heels for this ship that probably has antis up in arms. but gods, i love me my Problematic Content Ships and this one is that entirely with bells on. it's grand. i haven't seen a ship this openly Problematic in a while and it's making me happy.

thank you for this blog. you guys are awesome and i love to scroll and see what asks i've missed.

My Year in Gigs

Seeing as we're nearing the end of the year, I thought I'd look back on the amazing shows I've been lucky enough to attend in 2023 and resurrect my Post-Concert Depression with a definitive ranking 😅💚

Eurovision Semi Final One - Live Show: Absolute dream-come-true experience. Loved every minute, the crowd was so kind and supportive towards every act, and I got to see most of my faves steal the show and advance to the finals 🥰 

Muse (Dublin) : My second Muse gig of the year was even more of a blast than the first! Absolutely nothing could have prepared me for the joy of finally seeing Butterflies and Hurricanes and Apocalypse Please live 😭 

Queens of the Stone Age: Josh Homme arrived onstage, called us all crazy motherfuckers, expressed a sincere desire to get fucked in the ass by a Scottish dude, then called his guitarist a 500-year-old vampire before flirting shamelessly with him. 10/10, no notes. Oh yeah, and the music slapped too.

Käärijä: Half hilarious stand-up show, half incredible party with insanely fun, energetic songs. One of the most enjoyable gigs I’ve ever been to and I would pay good money to fly to Finland solely to see Käärijä play a gig on his home turf. 

Muse (Bellahouston Park): My boys were incredible as ever and I had a genuinely great time at this gig, but it gets demoted a little due to the torrential rain cutting our setlist short and making me ill 😅 Would have been an easy third place had technical difficulties not robbed me of the chance to see Verona live... 

Go_A: If you’ve never been to a Ukrainian Folk-Rave before, I can highly recommend it! Go_A were simply phenomenal with great energy that had us dancing all night. Highlight of the show was Ihor delivering a badass flute solo while Kateryna went backstage to recharge her awesomeness. 

Sparks: These guys have been making consistently excellent music for decades and still have more energy and enthusiasm than most young bands could ever dream of possessing. Such a wonderful set filled with amazingly quirky songs both old and new. 

Joker Out: It says a lot about the high quality of shows on this list that I’ve had to rank these guys so low. In any other year they’d be a clear contender for top three! The energy from both the band and crowd were insane, the boys were clearly in awe of having a venue full of Scots singing along with them in Slovene, and I need the Demoni scream injected directly into my veins 😈 

Arctic Monkeys: This ranking has almost nothing to do with the band themselves who delivered a great show, but looking back on it I’ve just had to accept that I wasn’t having a good time during a large chunk of this gig. The crowd in my section were rowdy to the point where I couldn’t hear or see anything and I was wasting all my energy trying not to get shoved. My depression was also playing up to the point where I was struggling to get excited over songs I dearly love and I just felt unwell and burnt out all night. The second half was a definite improvement as we’d moved to a calmer area by the time they brought out The Car songs, but by the end I was just exhausted and desperate for home. Would see them again in a heartbeat in a more intimate indoor venue, but I think I’ll avoid any of their big stadium tours in future 😅 

Busted: Honestly, I had a much nicer time at this gig compared to Arctic Monkeys. The nostalgia alone of singing along to ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ at the top of my lungs is always a special moment. But I can’t pretend for a second that Busted’s music comes anywhere close to the quality of Arctic Monkeys’ recent output, so they’re a very reluctant last place on my list of generally incredible gig experiences 😅 

Best Support Act: Nova Twins by a country mile. I may have fallen slightly in love with Georgia and her incredible bass skills. It was easy to see why Muse invited them on tour because they seemed so at-ease in a massive arena 😊  

Here's to (hopefully) more amazing gigs in 2024! I'd love to hear about some of the great shows that you guys attended this year as well 🥰💖

#honourable mention to Lord of the Lost who I had tickets for but ultimately couldn't see because I was too sick; I'm still sad I missed them #and also to Voyager who I'm sure would have put on an amazing show - looking forward to seeing them after Danny kicks cancer's ass #my gigs #muse #muse band #queens of the stone age #käärijä #go_a #sparks #joker out #arctic monkeys #busted

Charles getting cancer is actually comical to me.

Imagine the only purpose you have in this life, the only reason you were born is to be king. That’s it, that’s all you have. IS TO BE KING. You were told from childhood that you one day would rule England after your mother. So you wait and wait. You wait for 59 YEARS. Because your 96 year old mother hasn’t carked it yet. THEN she finally kicks the bucket, you’re finally king at 73 years old. Congratulations. Your life purpose has finally happened. But not even two years in ASS CANCER beats you. What a life huh?

It’s a our princess coming through for the win.
