Guardian vol 3 Special Edition 💚💚💚

[tazzy-ace]

Now that I'm out of tunnel vision of reading vol 3 of Guardian, I wanted to share pics of the goodies that came along with the special edition of the novel!

Along with this gorgeous book, the special edition included a sticker sheet, 2 posters, 6 postcards, and a bookmark w/ art on both sides! Click below the break to see all this gorgeous art.

First off the sticker sheet! This art was done by Niroku

They're all so cute! It took me a second to figure out Lin Jing jsksj bc he's bald monk in my mind, but his bun is also very cute. Also we got Ghost face! Aka Mianmian according to @meluci-fer jsksj So pretty and grumpy, get this man (or all of these men jsksjsjs) into therapy

The bookmark is absolutely gorgeous and nicely sturdy with a gloss finish. This art was done by Ruthie/kkcoocool

Past and present, two sides of the same... bookmark jsksj

Next we have the posters! The art for both was done by Butchinelle

These are decent sized posters (10x15 in or about 25.5x38cm) and ah so many gorgeous details. We have Shen San and Wei! And also a fun little swan boat date with Yunlan and Shen Wei (god that hair and those ripped jeans! Yunlan is so hot). I can't wait to hang these both on my walls

Last but not least, postcards! There is the front art of the cards and chibi style art on the back. The front art is the cover art for the 3 volumes and the 3 pieces of color art that have been at the front of each volume. I'll share the front art first and then the chibi art (I didn't notice any in connection between the art on the front and the chibi art on the back but I can post which are on what cards if anyone is curious)

The following art was done by Marmaladica

Thanks to Bai Yu, I always imagine Yunlan with facial hair jsksjs and because of @sagittariusdarkarrow 's amazing editing work he's done of adding little beards, my brain gets confused when first looking at the art like "hmmm, something is missing" 😂

And I'm closing in on the picture limit so I'll add the rest in a reblog!

I know you play like you're the meanest and the hardest but actually you're the most scared of all. I know you steal batteries you don't need, and you push away anyone who's willing to put up with you because just a little bit of love reminds you how big and empty that hole inside you actually is.

okay so GOTG Vol 3 is great all round but my new favourite canonical piece of MCU information is that rocket the raccoon, a literal genius who can build anything from anything and escape any prison he’s put in, who would get viscerally angry at people who called him a raccoon. didn’t get angry because he thought he was more than a simple animal he genuinely did not fucking know he was a goddamn raccoon.

No cause this means that when Gamora heard Groot and understood him, SHE WAS A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY AGAIN

[rakruined]

I just realized why Rocket gets so pissed at Drax for nearly getting them all killed for revenge in volume 1

He blames himself for not taking Floor and Teefs and just running after Lylla got shot.

"That's no excuse to get everyone else dead along the way" he says, recalling that when he took revenge for one friend it led to two more dying.

A found family can really be a human, an alien with autism, another alien with autism, another other alien with autism, a raccoon with bpd, a tree that also an iPad kid, an a time travel variant of a girl you used to know.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023) dir. James Gunn (source)

[that--funny--feeling]

Gunn said the first movie was about the mother, the second about the father and the third about the self. And if I think about it, all characters finally come to terms to who they really are or want to be:

[SPOILERS]

• Mantis goes her own way, after following what Ego wanted and then what the Guardians wanted for all these years;

• Drax, that called himself the 'destroyer', finds his place as a 'father', even after his daughter's death;

• Groot: now that he is an adult again, it's pretty clear to us that he's phisically and mentally different from the GOTG1!Groot. He respects and supports everyone's choices in his family and makes us part of it too at the end (→ now we understand him too);

• Nebula, now free from Thanos, is now a leader and helps kids in need like she was as a child, following what she and Gamora talked about at the end of vol 2;

• Gamora learns why her 2018!self found a family between the Guardians, but feels she's different and chooses another path in the end;

• Rocket "ain't no one like me but me" accepts he's not alone in the world anymore and deserves to keep on living. Also, he calls himself "racoon" for the first time without it being a offense for him;

• Peter, always away from his planet, faces his fears and comes back to the Earth, where he lost his mother, and meets his granddad.

I don't like all the choices Gunn made in this movie (about Gamora's arc for example), but GOTG3 made me cry and laught and cry again and I'm happy we finally got to see the ending of this beautiful trilogy.

This has got to be one of my favorite shots of the whole movie. Because I mean, look at him. Look at this little dummy, this actual baby, witnessing happiness and family for the first time in his life. All he wanted was to belong, and now he does.
