#rocket 3

[dadvans]

the silliest fandom problem to have is curating my online space so carefully and so vigilantly that when mentions of a truly delusional post break containment and intrigue me, i have to use quantum physics and enter the fifth dimension just to find that post because i want to have a vicious little popcorn moment

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.

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.

"what if we shot a RPG and stared at the explosions like new years fireworks and then we lay in the long grass and maybe for a moment we were in love in the way the long grass loves sunlight and not in love in the way a rocket loves to explode" -Kath, who got to see this piece earlier than anyone else, who's words stuck with me like they tend to do <3

This is my piece for the iasip Valentine's zine over at @its-always-ziney-in-philadelphia ! :)

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.

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.
