“When I Look At John, I Recall How He Risked His Own Life To Preserve Me. I Would Risk Non-functionality

Stinger: You two characters are going to TOP GUN.

Mav and Goose:

“Don’t you know how you’ve changed me? Strange how I finally see

I found Home You’re my Home Stay with me.” ~Home (reprise)“ From the finale of Disney’s Beauty and the Beast (Broadway)

I know, I know, this is Virgil week and what am I doing putting up John art, but I’ve been working on this for a full week (or as much as the humidity allows) because I watched a local production of Beauty and the Beast and the song spoke to me. So I had to draw from it. I may see about coloring it (or having someone else color it, *wink wink*). But either way it was just so much fun getting to draw John and EOS in their uniforms again. <33

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.

Iceman: Don't do anything stupid, Mav.

Maverick: Define stupid.

Slider: Why is Goose unconscious, and why is Mav dying on the floor, laughing?

Ice: Goose was going to hit his head on the doorframe so Maverick told him to duck, and he quacked at him. And then he hit his head.

Slider: *wheezes*

Had very mixed responses to this on Reddit. What do you guys think?

Inktober 21 da glass plane (handle with care)

K, but imagine.

Tin-Tin is Kayo's long lost little sister.

That she never knew about, cos Mr Kyrano hid her away, from the Hood, or some backstory garbage.

But then they reunite.

And then they form a wonderful, adorable relationship.

And probably Alan ends up falling for her.

And maybe they get married one day.

And then Kayo becomes officially, officially, a Tracy sibling because now Alan is her brother in law.

Just.

Think about it.

***Obligatory mention of a certain character who got redeemed at the last minute at the very end of the list. Tread at your own discretion.
