I always wondered why/how Tom Cruise became such a relentless adrenaline junkie and part time stuntman, never occurred to me it was the US Military’s fault
WTF is this? In what world is Tom Cruise a twink in Top Gun? He's quite built. And him showing up in glitter? Sometimes the Tumblr "yes anding" low-level fiction can be exhausting. First two people at least had interesting commentary. Very often projects morph, and you have no idea what movie you're in till you see the final product
They're not saying he looked like a twink in Top Gun. [They're saying he looked like a twink in Legend.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b7fe5e03e85ab65dbd8659ad408a759d/621667eeb19e8dfe-fd/s540x810/c46c5077e97a404383dec8221e3c4b6381bfcdb1.gifv)
I'd call him a relative Twink, compared to many other male actors and how he looks currently. BBBBBBBBBBut compared to actual twinks he's clearly not a twink
>they were looking homophobically at a long haired, glittery 22 year old twink that actually liked being obliterated
What? Is this just implying Tom Cruise is gay because he looked effeminate?
They said they were gonna "obliterate" him by how crazy they were gonna fly cause they thought he was gay and needed to be taught a lesson. Turns out he enjoyed being "obliterated" which is to say, loved the crazy flying
In NA, in asia it was due to to "A Better Tomorrow" by John Woo. Chow Yun Fat, as the main character wore ray bans and london fog overcoat. That sparked all the people who wanted to be in gangs, to adopt ray bans and london fog as their defacto uniforms/ style. Ray Bans send them both new sets of glasses every year.
this is insane ive been looking for OOPs first post for literal days now lmao i find this and it was, oh-so-coincidentally, posted just a mere 3 days ago???? nvm that im literally watching top gun for the first time rn too 💀 anyways gonna go watch legend now. for. reasons.
The American military Did This ::gestures:: to Tom cruise.
Let's not discount the role Scientology had in creating him
This is the second film I’ve heard of Val Kilmer just doing Whatever The Fuck He Wants
Was the first island of dr Moreau?
Yes indeed

Join the Navy! (Top Gun is US NAVY propaganda)
It's a three pronged approach, we have subliminal, liminal, and super liminal.
This somehow very quickly turned into OOPs barely disguised sexual fantasy
Always was

I feel like the implication is that young Tom Cruise always looked at least a little bit like a twink.

"looked even twinkier than he did in Top Gun", implying he was a twink in Top Gun
... And today I will be playing the role of Person With Poor Reading Comprehension, without even needing to be blackmailed by my agent.
Reading Comprehension Devil grows in power
how dare you say reading is the devil
Chainsawman. If someone’s afraid of it, there’s a devil of it.
LOL. We all play that role once in a while :P
Piss on the poor moment.
Okay. He was a twunk then. Largely due to dehydration-induced muscle definition and a butch haircut. Feel better?
You could just say he had short hair...
I *could* but since we're talking about his character using queer terms already, I decided to keep with the theme.
Ok but tumblr did not say he showed up in glitter, they were referencing how the pilots still saw him as his role from Legend
"looked even twinkier than he did in Top Gun", implying he was a twink in Top Gun
Doesn't it just imply he's somewhat twinkish. Not necessarily that he was a full on twink
Yeah he's definitely a twunk
I'd call him a relative Twink, compared to many other male actors and how he looks currently. BBBBBBBBBBut compared to actual twinks he's clearly not a twink

I think the implication is that "Reagan era pilots" would just assume that based off his appearance
I don't get why this was so hard to understand.
Because tumblrites and r/tumblrites see the word homo in any context and all blood leaves their brain.
Fighter pilots are statistically 10,000% more gay than the gayest person you know
Admittedly that statistic was raised after Top Gun came out, so it was probably closer to 5000% back in the day
As someone who was the gayest man working at a pilot training command, those pilots were straight af. I feel cheated. :(
u/ZhaoLuen is actually a recruiter trying to trick people into committing your mistake.
I would make that mistake without the promise of homosexuality
What base?
NAVSTA Norfolk
Clearly you’ve never spent time with Marines.
What if the gayest person I know is a fighter pilot ?
They're 5000% gayer than you previously realised
x10 navy multiplier
The 'actually liked being obliterated' here is probably referring to cruise enjoying the ride.
Yeah but they picked the *navy*. They would want to obliterate said twink in a much more homophilic manner.
Separately from what the Reagan-Era pilots might have assumed based on appearances, Tom Cruise has been rumored to be closeted since the 90s at least
Come out of the closet, Mr Cruise
But why though...
They weren't lying, that Reading Comprehension is piss-poor.
How dare you say we piss on the poor
They said they were gonna "obliterate" him by how crazy they were gonna fly cause they thought he was gay and needed to be taught a lesson. Turns out he enjoyed being "obliterated" which is to say, loved the crazy flying
He didn't even look that effeminate. He was more of a jock than a twink.

No
**TRY NOT TO CALL NORMAL LOOKING GUY A 'TWINK' CHALLENGE** (IMPOSSIBLE!!)
God I love HaikuBot 💛
Reminds me of this Quentin Tarantino rant from a random tv show he was an extra in. https://youtu.be/ZF1LXL6OOsM?feature=shared
IIRC, Ray Bans were basically falling into obscurity before Tom Cruise yanked them back up in Top Gun
In NA, in asia it was due to to "A Better Tomorrow" by John Woo. Chow Yun Fat, as the main character wore ray bans and london fog overcoat. That sparked all the people who wanted to be in gangs, to adopt ray bans and london fog as their defacto uniforms/ style. Ray Bans send them both new sets of glasses every year.
This tumblr post…makes no sense whatsoever?
Holy cow, you people are insane.
Mantaee
... I will never understand discourse around top gun
It’s always important to include Haiku-Bot when necessary!
