i hate to break it to you all but the ravagers were far from good guardians to peter. taserface wasn’t a new recruit, there’s a gift with his name on it in kraglin’s flashback during the holiday special which obviously means he watched peter grow. he still openly hated peter, and so did many other crewmembers (actually, we don't see ONE other crewmember aside from kraglin show any sign that they gave a fuck about peter) they constantly pressured yondu to harm or kill peter, even starting a riot when yondu refused in the second movie. they literally killed half of the crew and laughed in their face as they were dying. they clearly don't give a shit about each other, and definitely not someone they considered "cargo".

in the first movie, when the ravagers catch peter, they beat him and pin him to the wall. they were planning to kill him, like how yondu ordered in the beginning of the film. they didn’t just want him gone, they actively terrorized and abused him, something peter himself admits in the second film. he tells ego how yondu and the others kept him in terror and forced him to try to earn his keep by working for them. their treatment of baby groot makes it even clearer. groot was “too adorable to kill,” but they still tormented and abused him. kicking him, laughing at him, pouring alcohol on him, etc. if they could do that to groot, imagine what they did to a defenseless kid like peter. (also, them forcing groot into ravager gear was probably their way of trying to replace peter. someone they could dominate and exploit)

the signs of abuse are all there, and peter’s bitterness toward the ravagers makes it all the more clear tbh. this isn't about yondu, though. i DO think he was probably a shitty parental figure but the crew were probably the main factor into WHY he did those things. he couldn't show he cared about peter, because they'd think he's going soft. but he apologized for not "doing any of it right" and always protected peter, especially from his own crew. he definitely gave peter the best childhood he can provide, to a degree.

I just watched Guardians Of The Galaxy Volume 3 and it helped me let go of the MCU. It was absolutely fantastic and made me cry. Like I know what happens to the characters that meant everything to me and I’m finally okay to let go.

Ive watched it since i was 6 years old but the Guardians are the last ones I truly cared about and I can let go now.

James Gunn gave me one last marvel film that didnt feel soulless - that didnt feel like it was made because that damned mouse demanded it. Instead I got a story that had a satisfying end to my favourite trilogy. Im so glad he reminded me why i loved this shit in the first place and im so excited to see what Gunn does in DC and what he does with Damian Wayne.

Thanks for almost 15 years and some amazing characters but the MCU isnt for me anymore and thats okay.

Something just occurred to me.

Why the hell hasn't anyone made a Parks and Rec inspired "who broke it" animated meme with Guardians of the Galaxy? It'd be perfect!!

Every other fandom has one!

Envision this:

Nebula as Ron, Mantis as Leslie, Rocket as Tom, Peter as Ben, Drax as Jerry, Gamora as April and Groot As Donna.

You could swap a few characters and it'd still work. In fact, I can think of plenty of different ways this could go. With characters here as well as ones I haven't listed like Yondu, Cosmo and Kraglin. And I even think this dynamic would work great with the video game Guardians crew if you just swap out Nebula for Nikki.

Falling by Florence + the Machine and Guardians of The Galaxy

Hi I'm here to prove I'm very normal with this very deranged thing (the song is "Falling" by Florence + the Machine)

Frustration and hate are the threads that bind the Guardians together at first. Their resentment toward everything they used to have and then got taken from them is the force that moves them in the first movie. They've all wasted years of their lives doing what someone else demanded out of despair and the need to please their abusers or avenge their grief. They can never have and keep things for too long.

Now this is where I lean a little harder into Rocket. He's reckless and destructive on purpose, he's always looking for a bad decision to make and the highest number of people to hurt. He's rude, he's defensive, he's scared and he steals things he doesn't need. He takes things away from himself before he can even have them. And it's good while it lasts, he can get a kick out of saying the wrong words and doing the wrong things and the adrenaline might make the weight of his grief and self-loathing a little lighter, but when he sobers up the consequences are still there and nothing's changed - maybe it's a little worse.

Rocket is a shrine to all the people he's loved and lost (and loved and lost and loved and lost and loved and lost). His body is a casket full of his own scars and parts of those he can't reach anymore. Everything he does is a reflex of what's already happened. When he tries letting people in, it's because he knows what it felt to be close. When he tries to push them away, it's because he knows what it feels to lose and lose and lose. And still, no matter how hard he tries to be angry and impassive and keep his distance, he keeps slipping and accidentally letting them into his heart despite knowing where it ends. It keeps rewriting it again and again and again.

Time doesn't stop. It doesn't forgive him and he won't forgive it either. But he's spending it with the Guardians now, and while he still has the same scars and dreams about death and the High Evolutionary and drinks himself down, he also learns to sometimes let his guard down and care about the people who love him and dance himself up. Trust is a leap of faith and friendship is something too pure and too frightening for him to have any control over, and he'll never know when it'll end and when he'll be the last one of his people again. He can't predict the landing. But despite the trail of corpses he seems to leave behind wherever he goes, he actually found people to love and he knows who will be there, wherever they land.

GOTG3 SPOILERS

Whenever Rocket stands before the cage, staring at the baby raccoons, it's not only the reality that, hey, he is a raccoon, but it's facing everything he had been through. You can see the thought process happening on his face. These sweet innocent creatures, everyday trying to exist. They weren't disgusting or vile or an abomination. He wasn't disgusting or vile or an abomination. He, just like the baby raccoons, was just existing, until someone decided to change that state of existence

It's the revelation that the High Evolutionary harmed him when he was a baby. When you're young, you don't really know how young you are, and besides the time spent with Lylla and Teefs and Floor, playing hide n seek, he didn't have a chance to be a child, to be a baby. He always had to be something for someone else, even if that someone was himself. He had to be brave and tough and resilient for himself, too. It's the realization that the High Evolutionary took from him not only the comfort of not being sentient, from dull to way too vibrant, but also took from him his kit hood, and he wasn't going to let the high evolutionary do that to these young kits.

It's a moment of connection and realization. He was so young. He didn't even realize it. It's probably even harder realization now that he is a dad.

It's a startling realization and it starts him into action.

He's quickly grabbing all of the baby raccoons he can, bending down, picking them up, putting them on his shoulders, holding them in his arms, and then, as soon as the high evolutionary rounds the corner, he ushers them off. He takes his hands and scoops them down n off his body, ready, willing, to take the brunt of whatever force.

It's reminiscent of how he protected Groot's body in endgame; shielding as much of Groot, his son, with his own body, to protect him from harm. He's shielding and protecting these baby raccoons, not only because they showed him his reality before the torture, the sweet innocence, (and how could somebody hurt these creatures? -Rocket's thought process), not only because they too could've gone through what he went through, but because they're kits, they're babies.

I just love Rocket, his arc, his development, and this scene really shows so many aspects of Rocket himself. His bravery, and courage, and his willingness to protect. These characteristics he's always had.
