“what’s on your mind?” nothing, i just can’t stop thinking about how integral music and the past are to the guardians of the galaxy movies, and it’ll not just that music is played throughout but it’s all OLD music because, yanno, the past and how all three movies start with just that: music and the past; the first movie opens with quill’s sad backstory and 1975’s ‘i’m not in love’ by 10cc, and the second movie opens with young happy meredith (who’s about to be very sad and sick) and 1972’s ‘brandy’ by looking glass and the third movie opens with rocket’s sad backstory and 1992’s ‘creep’ by radiohead, and the further we journey with them in the trilogy the more recently the music has been released until we’ve kinda reached our time, so it’s like the past has caught up with them, and that’s when everyone finally stops running from their past and they have to, get this, “face the music” and quill gives up his zune and gives it to rocket and goes back to earth to reconnect with the grandpa, the one part of his past that he’s ignored for like 40 years

I wonder if there's any songs the guardians can't listen to, or just skip when they play on shuffle. Peter can't listen to Brandy because it just reminds him of his mother and of Ego. Maybe whenever he 'returns' his grandpa could have it playing on a record, and Peter just asks to turn it off, prompting an awkward conversation.

On a more humorous note Rocket can't listen to Crazy on You, especially around windows, without getting nervous. I'm imagining a scene where it comes on and Adam just appears behind him and sighs and says "This was playing the first time we met." And Rocket just waits a second and says "You crashed through a window and almost killed me with your flashy lazer hands but yeah, get nostalgic about it."

when i tell you i CACKLED. i scared my cats

i can absolutely imagine rocket staring up at adam with his most deadpan expression like are you shitting me right now and adam being completely clueless, just a small little wistful smile on his golden face. i suspect that adam sometimes calls rocket dad and rocket is like.... absolutely not.

(sure, rocket, whatever you say)

pete's all well grampa i met my dad and. i mean you probably guessed he wasn't a great guy since he took off on mom and all. but whatever you're imagining, it was worse. and he, uh-

grampa probably says something like no need to say more, pete. i've hated that guy since the first time your mom mentioned him. seemed like a real piece of work. he takes the record off the player and offers it to pete. do you want to break it?

maybe they do break it, or maybe they don't. either way, catharsis is had, and pete is relieved, and the record is never played again. pete picks out something new, and the two of them sit and bitch - rightfully - about ego, and pete talks about how he's pretty sure all his friends except groot and maybe drax have had terrible dads -

and at some point, between the dry laughter and the can you believe its, just under the low croon of aretha franklin and over the quiet whisper of the newspaper pages and the clink of the coffee cups on the table - pete tells his grandfather how lucky meredith had been, to have him for a father.

Remember how I said I wanted to take a break from SotM-related art decks for a while after finishing Mercury's deck? I lied.

My friend Bobbert needed artwork for his latest environment deck the HMCS Moondancer and, without his normal artist collaborator available, I stepped in to help out. Bobbert gave me pretty much free rein with a lot of the cameos, so I fit in a bunch of my favorites from the Custom SotM community (as well as some the Menagerie characters like Jason Quill, Charade, and Space Bug!).

With this done, maybe I'll take an actual break of SotM-related art... but I doubt it.

[incorrect-starbula]

Nebula: Are you going to tell me not to break Peter's heart or you'll break my legs or something?

Jason: No, I know you wouldn't do it on purpose, and it's pointless to get mad at someone over a mistake. And I trust my grandson's taste in women. Heartbreak's just a natural part of relationships, Nebula. You'll both hurt each other, but everything will be fine as long as you're mature, forgiving, and loving through it all.

Jason: Now, do you want a burger or a hot dog?

Nebula, holding back a sob: ...Both, please.

3 headcanons how Peter’s grandfather immediately recognized him.

Peter resembles his daughter Meredith.

He went to Avengercon in Missouri and read about his adventures.

He knows because Peter was with the Avengers during their battle against Thanos for Earth.

[somewhere-on-knowhere]

Nebula comes to visit Peter on Earth and Jason can immediately tell that there are feelings between the two of them, so whenever she visits he tries to play wingman for them. He'll talk Peter up to Nebula and vice versa, and excuse himself to give them some privacy.

His wife totally joins in, too. Maybe she gives Nebula advice on how to flirt with Peter, and Nebula is just mortified because she didn't ask and that means her feelings are obvious.

When they finally do start dating, Peter's grandparents' only response is "about damn time."

[doesithavetobeaspider]

Imagine Peter Quill’s grandfather being in a Facebook support group for people who’ve had loved ones go missing. And one day he makes a post to people he’s known over a decade, who know his story by heart, and says “a man knocked on my door today and said he was my Peter back from the stars.” Going on to explain how his grandson was abducted by aliens, formed a superhero squad, met and killed his father who was a celestial god, helped defeat Thanos, formed a community in the skull of a completely unrelated dead celestial god, abducted Kevin Bacon, and came back for a reunion. Then there’s a slideshow of pictures of Peter smiling like it’s the first day of school, caught off-guard eating breakfast at the table, posing in his SL uniform, holding hands with his grandfather, then mowing some guy’s lawn.

combining two of my current biggest interests because i can. peter quill was absolutely a wrestling kid and he definitely bonded with his grandpa over it. he'd probably take him to local shows and they'd watch wwe every week and jason would buy access to all the pay-per-view events for them to watch together

[peter-quill-is-so-fine]

btw jason had to celebrate over 30 christmases without peter. :) IF I HAVE TO SUFFER THINKING ABOUT THAT YOU DO TOO. >:(

I know a lot happened in volume 3, but we're kind of ignoring Quill coming back to earth. He's living on earth for the first time in almost 40 years. You know how much he missed? At some point he probably visited or saw a picture of NYC and was like "hey I don't see the twin towers" and Jason Quill had to sit down his 40 year old grandson and teach him about 9/11.

Gamora And Peter – Ain’t No Mountain High Enough To Keep Me From Getting to You

GOTG Vol 1 and vol 3 spoilers.

Yes, we are saying a tearful good-bye to the GOTG, without getting explicit closure/answers for Gamora and Peter love story. We have to trust what we saw on-screen between the two of them. I believed in Gamora and Peter’s love after watching the ending of vol 1 - as the song Ain’t No Mountain High Enough played. The way they looked at each other was priceless.  I am sticking with my belief that Gamora and Peter’s love survived and they eventually will end up together again.

GOTG Family unit with Gamora and Peter as the Mother and Father to Drax, Groot,  Mantis and Rocket. Gamora and Peter as siblings to Nebula, which propels Nebula to become a humanitarian leader.

In a sense, we should view GOTG Vol 2 as the end of the trilogy.

The audience has to put the hints together to see that Gamora and Peter have a backstory and  eventually will end up together again. Keep in mind that because of alternate timelines, Gamora and possibly Peter may look different.

My crazy thought is Peter’s grandfather is an important source of information regarding the alternate realities of Gamora and Peter’s love story before GOTG.

Working on a project and this is going to be the cover art. It's been a while since I've drawn all the kids together and they've certainly changed in six years.

As a reminder, they are: (front to back, left to right) Ghost Girl/Charlotte Palmer, Mercury/Harry Gale, Jason Quill, Concord/Adam Amari, Pneuma/Aria Newman, Link/Leo Snow, and Otto Newman (back).

For people who like to see before and after shots, I have the original sketch under the cut.

Yep, this is how most of them start out. XD

Biggest changes were rearranging the placement of all the characters (based on feedback from @astralfrontier, which I think made the flow of the picture better) and making Otto's "pose" in the back a bit more dynamic (based on feedback from another one of my friends).

Peter, to Nebula: Would you like to stay for dinner? Jason, from inside the house: Would you like to stay forever?!

[kloofspeaks]

“Remember what I told you. You ever feel lost? Just look into the eyes of the people you love. It’ll tell you exactly who you are.”

I’ve been wanting to mention this for awhile, but not only does Peter grow from these words in Love and Thunder but he proceeds to go back to earth to stare the man who helped rise him in the eyes. He was going to find himself because he’s felt lost for awhile.
