Someday soon I will finish this comic...but not just yet.

Mantis feels everything so deeply. Loss and grief and pain cut particularly deep. Nebula, on the other hand, rarely feels anything at all but when she Mantis sad something stirs inside of her. She isn’t great at using her words to help but will curl up with her girlfriend and cuddle her until she isn’t so sad anymore.

[itsnotripe]

Honestly, the Guardians of the Galaxy movies are so underrated. I mean, they've got everything. Well-rounded, complex characters? Check. Found family? Check. Heart and soul? Check. It's disappointing that they're so often dismissed as irrelevant or comedic drivel when they have so much to offer. If you look past the jokes and unfamiliar setting, there's a lot of depth going on, and it's frustrating that so many people fail to realize that.

“We’re playing checkers. If you don’t like it, leave.” with Nebula? I need some murderous space friend Nebula in my life -&

sorry its so short !!

“Your turn.” You chirp to Nebula, who sits stonily, pondering her next move. As she moves a small disk atop of yours, taking it, she leans back satisfactorily.

“I like this game.”

You laugh, and Nebula’s lips flicker into a tentative smile when she realizes you’re not laughing at her. 

“Hey, didn’t I tell you to do the dishes?” Tony knocks on your doorway, cutting your giggles off as he peeked inside. 

“We’re playing checkers.” Nebula states, moving her own piece without even glancing at Tony. “If you don’t like it, leave.”

You stifle another round of laughs as you see your dad’s expression. 

“Finish the game, then you’re both on dish duty.” Tony points at you both and you nod.

“Yes, sir.”

"wait the tears are good tears?" with nebula pls?

I want a whole imagine about nebula being dragged to Disney world completely unaware that it’s essentially hell for her. omg or like nebula x reader taking Morgan to disney world

Turning to face her, you offer a soft smile as you wipe your damp cheeks with the palm of your hands. “It’s really not what you think.”

Nebula stares back at you and you can’t quite figure out what’s going on in her head. Then again you never could. She wasn’t exactly an open book. The only expression you knew all too well was anger and that definitely wasn’t what was happening now. When she didn’t answer, you pull out the map and begin walking ahead.

“I was thinking we could eat and then maybe-” you come to a halt, turning your head to the Luphomoid. “Nebula it’s fine- come on.” You motion for her to follow but she remains still. Your eyes close and a soft sigh slips past your lips. You walk back over and take her metal hand in yours. It’s unusually warm, the sun is probably to blame for that. You’re surprised that she doesn’t pull away. “I’m not upset okay?”

“Then why were you crying?” She asks quietly. You intertwine your fingers which makes her pull away. Guess that was too much.

“I don’t know, I was a little overwhelmed while waiting but once I got on it was great. Terrifying but great.”

“wait the tears are good tears?”

“Sure,” You shrug casually. “I guess so. Definitely not sad, I had fun.”

“I don’t understand. Terrans are… strange.”

You chuckle a little. “You don’t know the half of it. Now let’s go to the t-rex cafe because I’m starving.” You lead the way, map held out so you could find the way. You look back to make sure she was following.

“This place is idiotic,” Nebula grumbles and you can’t help but smile. You hadn’t exactly told her what Disney world was until it was too late to back out.

“You’re gonna love it,” You insist dramatically, knowing damn well she probably wouldn’t. “plus the food ain’t bad either.”

A loud groan sounded from behind you. “Will they have those small yellow things?”

“you mean fries?” You question

“Yes, fries.”

You turn and walk behind her, placing your hands softly against her back and slowly push her forward. “They sure will- now hurry up, we don’t have all day.”

Nebula x Carol Moodboard

Nebula: You are strong. Confident. I could never be a woman like you.

Carol: No. You are strong. You have nothing to prove to him. What matters now is you free yourself from him. I’ll be here for you. Every step of the way.

Consider Gamora teaching Nebula to waltz so she can dance with Mantis at their wedding

Gamora and Nebula were on a little bit more than speaking terms now, thank god. Nebula couldn’t imagine if she and Gamora were on fighting terms. They go shopping together, and talk to each other. 

She was the first to know about Neb proposing to Mantis, in fact. 

“You have to learn how to dance,” Gamora says. 

“I’m not asking Quill,” Nebula responds, crossing her arms. “I am not ever going to do that. I would rather step on Mantis’ toes. Besides, you’re not a dancer.” 

“Where you can see,” Gamora says, smiling. “Drax doesn’t know everything, sister.” 

Nebula meets her early in the morning. It’s just like learning how to fight; you know the moves, you execute them. Minus the knives, guns, swords, fists, teeth, cuffs, daggers, spears, and the occasional trident. 

“You’re going to do great,” Gamora says. “Don’t be nervous. And don’t wear your blue boots.” 

“Mantis likes them!” 

“That is because Mantis likes her fashion sense. Wear the boots you like. You won’t be able to dance in the blue ones.” 

Gamora smiles at her sister. Their first dance will be beautiful–Mantis has been discussing her dress with Drax, who has been sworn to secrecy. (And been really bad at it.) 

There are steps that take Nebula a little bit longer. She’s still too awkward with the spins, but it’ll all work out. 

Gamora sees her handiwork on the day of, when Mantis and Nebula dance to Peter’s soundtracks, and Mantis giggles as she swings out too wide and nearly hits Yondu’s punch glass. 

“I didn’t know Nebula was a dancer,” Peter says. Gamora nods. 

“She likes to move. She just usually doesn’t do it to music.” 

“Much like yourself,” Peter says. “Do you think Drax still thinks we’re an odd fit?” 

“We fit,” Gamora says. “Hasn’t all this time proved it?” 

They go back to watching Nebula smile at her wife, laughing as they dance off the floor, nearer to the food. Mantis delicately nicks a dessert from the table, putting it in Nebula’s mouth as they continue to twirl. They’ll be happy together.

👏👏👏

mantis/nebula is something that didn’t occur to me while watching the source material just because of the lack of screentime they get together, but like, makes so much sense when given 0.2 seconds of thought?

like, both the last of their species (probably), both raised my egomaniacs who think themselves gods and who raise them to think that they’re only worth what they can do for [thanos, ego] so that nebula grows up thinking she’s only as good as her ability to kill and torture, and mantis considers herself “a flea with a purpose” (which ALSO btw is the creepiest most heartbreaking line in the mcu ok) and is only as good as her ability to help an evil genocidal maniac be able to sleep at night

but also their differences are perfect — innocent ball of sunshine meets hardened warrior trope? the classic hufflepuff/slytherin dynamic? someone who’s determined to be cold and ruthless because that’s how you survive but is also lowkey vErY emotional underneath the layers being paired up with someone who can see right through that the second she touches her?

idk don’t touch me i’m emotional about a couple of dumb lesbian aliens ok

Fanfic/Writing Commissions

Hi guys! So I had wanted to start taking commissions if anyone was interested before the holiday season was over. However, I became pretty busy and forgot all about it. I’m currently still in a bad spot in terms of money, but mainly for food. I appreciate the help I’ve received in the past, but I do feel more comfortable giving something back rather than simply begging for money. 

Also, thank you to @danvssomethingorother for the help in gaining reference for how to do this kind of thing!

Prices:

$1 per 100 words is my only rule; please make sure to make the word count or the range of the word count clear so I don’t write more than you’d like or less. 

Best way to pay is through PayPal

What I Will Write:

I am most familiar with Guardians of the Galaxy (MCU or comics; the latter will take more research), Gravity Falls, Venom, Guillermo Del Torro works, Death Note, Sailor Moon, Horror/Slashers, Disney animated features, Stephen King’s IT, PPG, HP, and crossovers b/w them. 

If you have a very specific prompt with specific details, please let me know. I can work with OCs and original story ideas with enough description as well. 

Also, I’m up to writing about any films/books/comics/tv shows that are not listed above but they will take more time depending on the subject. 

What I Won’t Write:

I have certain faults that make me nervous about trying to write sexual NSFW works, but I can attempt them. If I am uncomfortable with the request, I will politely deny it or possibly submit it/email it to the requester. 

Problems:

If you aren’t happy with what you receive or have an issue with pricing, please DM me on my tumblr. I can give you my email if that is a more satisfactory form of communication. 

All of the fanfiction I’ve written can be found on AO3 @ https://archiveofourown.org/users/MantisandtheMoonDragon

If you have any questions, please DM/@ me and I will get back to you right away!

Heeeeyyyyy I saw that you agree that nebula is bae (*cringe at my grammar*) could we get head cannons for reader worshipping nebula's body 💕💕💕 she deserves some love

I’m a dirty birdy so gonna take this in a sexual way. Just a little disclaimer it might get a little nsfw.

Nebula would be so insecure

Her whole life she was second to Gamora

She’s not used to being put first or desired

She wouldn’t have much sexual experience and if she did it wouldn’t be great (just rushed one night stands with strangers)

She wouldn’t be the one to initiate anything because she wouldn’t think you could feel that way about her

So the first time you kissed her she was surprised but happy

She would be a little bit stiff at first because she wouldn’t know what to do

You would go slow at first to make sure that she was comfortable with everything you were doing.

“Have you ever done this before?”

“Yes but it never felt like this”

You would kiss her neck while letting your hands wander

She would be nervous when you kissed the parts of her that Thanos replaced with machinery

But you would just have to tell her how beautiful she was

Eye contact would be a big thing for her so

When you got past her stomach you would look into her eyes and silently ask for permission before pulling off her pants

She would nod and help you get them off

You would kiss her thighs and make sure she was ready before going any farther

Headcanons of dating Nebula? Thanks

Oh my god my space wife yes! 💙

Nebula would be very distant in the beginning

She wouldn’t be used to signs of affection physical or otherwise

She would be extremely self conscious about her scars

So she would think that you were lying when you called her beautiful

Especially when she saw it next to you and she thought about how much better than her you deserved

When you kissed the first time she didn’t know what to do

She wouldn’t understand you calling her by nicknames

“Neb?”

“It’s faster than saying Nebula.”

“I hate it. Don’t say it again.”

But that didn’t stop you of course

And she secretly loved it because nobody had ever used one on her before

Since parts of her were replaced with machinery she has places with reduced sensitivity (as well as none whatsoever)

She would tell you where she could feel the most so you could leave kisses there

She would be so gentle with you

But she would also want you to be able to defend yourself

So she would train you in your spare time

She would keep all of her things very organized and be annoyed if you made a mess

She wouldn’t be able to stay mad at you though

She would be quieter than you so she would like listening to you talk for as long as you wanted

She would love listening to you read to her so she could just close her eyes and listen to your voice

When she got accustomed to physical affection she would realize that she was touch starved

That means you two would get to cuddle at every opportunity
