Top Gun Headcanons #6
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."
Mav: It must really suck not having a sense of humour.
Ice: I have a sense of humour.
Mav: I've never heard you laugh before.
Ice: I've never heard you say anything funny.
Craving young SarahIce content because there is basically none.
I mean, look at them š„¹
LOOK AT THEMMMM š„¹
They are my babies š„¹
Mav: I have always wanted to be a pilot! Since I was six years old.
Ice: And before that?
Mav: I wanted to be an aeroplane.
Viper: Trust me, Lieutenant, Maverick would throw himself in front of a moving car for you.
Ice: ...
Ice: With all due respect, Sir, Maverick would throw himself in front of a moving car for fun.
Mav: Would you punch your best friend in the face for $100?
Ice: I would punch you in the face for free.
Mav: *tearing up* I'm your best friend..?

Iceman cannot start the day without coffee.
Maverick is not allowed to have coffee.
maverick knows his pilots miss him because of the little things they share. the texts he gets and the pictures. always at random, sporadic and unprompted.
things like ā
fanboy telling him they nailed a test run for a new mission because of the way mav taught them to fly.
you two wouldāve done that all on your own. proud of you.
phoenix telling him sheās up for promotion and hoping he can make it to the ceremony since itās his fault sheās gotten even better in the air.
you were always going to soar, phoenix. iāll be there.
coyote telling him, not for the first time, how grateful he is that maverick knows the importance of getting everyone home alive.
nothing wrong with a little hope, right?
just. small things that make mavās chest ache every time with something proud and fond and soft because he may not be flying for the navy anymore, but these kids are absolutely making sure he still feels like he is.

Halo and Omaha are deadly accurate.
They both have really great spacial awareness and insane reaction times, making both their flying and their aim razor sharp.
They lost dogfighting against Maverick because, well, he's Maverick, and they never made the target on time in training but, they had by far the best record of hitting the target. Mav just knew that, as good as they were, they wouldn't be able to make it that far.
My babies š„ŗ
Also this is 100% their song, no I will not be taking criticism.
Okay- so Iām the first person to hate when the one token main girl character ends up as the romantic lead- BUT THE FACT THAT ROOSTER AND PHOENIX CLEARLY HAD HISTORY AND IT WAS QUASI-EDITED OUT OF TOP GUN: MAVERICK TO MAKE IT MORE PLATONIC IS SOMETHING I WILL NEVER RECOVER FROMĀ
HIM LOOKING AT PHOENIX WHEN SINGINGĀ āI WANNA TELL THE WORLD THAT YOUāRE MINE MINE MINE MINEā
THE WAY SHE LOOKS AT HIMĀ
THE WAY HE LOOKS AT HER
In Short: MAKE MY PARENTS MARRY DAMMIT
Bonus:
*Ice is causally taking a quiet walk one evening when suddenly two drunk people run past, yelling and chasing a raccoon, pursued by security*
Ice: Not my circus, not my monkeys...
*realising it was Maverick and Slider*
Ice: *running after them* My circus, my monkeys, my circus, my monkeys...
Stinger: You two characters are going to TOP GUN.
Mav and Goose:
Maverick: Do you think I could fit 15 marshmallows in my mouth?
Iceman: *facepalms* You're a hazard to society...
Slider: And a coward, do 20!
Had very mixed responses to this on Reddit. What do you guys think?
@misanderousmisfit this was going to be super long and also I have a picture, so I decided just to make a post.
About Maverick's wings
Okay, SO.
I just posted this gif with a new set, prompting @misanderousmisfit to say, "Wait how did I not notice that Mav takes his own wings and snaps them on the casket??!!!"
Then she asked for an explanation, and I am happy to provide one, not least of which because I actually already researched this and explained it to someone else like right after TGM came out.
What Maverick does with his wings at Ice's funeral is based on a tradition by the SEALs. Similar to naval aviators, Navy SEALs are given a specific pin that is unique to their role. Pilots have wings; the SEALs have what is called a Trident. It's a symbol not only of the group they belong to, but of all the work they had to do to acquire this specification.
When a SEAL team loses a member, the other members hammer their Tridents into the top of the casket. It's basically taking an incredibly valuable item and giving it to your friend as a sign of respect, and to show that a piece of you is going with him.
The reason they punch them into the casket like that is just to drive the metal into the wood, so the pins stay there.
Those are Maverick's wings. He is giving them to Ice to send a piece of him with him.
