Attention everyone:

For the next several days this is going to be a blog dedicated to the most beloved galaxy found family aka The Guardians of The Galaxy.

Thank you for your attention.

@starmore sent : i’ve been having weird dreams . / from Micah, hm…

he's only just woken up, but the second that charlie hears micah speak he turns onto his side facing the other in bed. brows knit together and eyes heavy with worry, his head tilts to the side. "you have ?? i'm sorry ... that sucks." charlie is familiar with strange dreams and nightmares, they often plagued his sleep. it's part of the reason why he had such a bizarre routine for falling asleep ( but he had been weaning off of that habit since he began dating micah ). throat clears, hand reaching towards the other and resting on their stomach. "did you have a weird dream last night ?? do you ... uh ... wanna talk about it at all ??"

@starmore said: « what do you want most in the world ? » / during the prologue !!! Mike is just being a curious lil' star that wanna learn more about Leland !!! ♡

eyebrows punch up, as though to say 'oh! big question' — and then quickly drop back down into a serious furrow, as he considers mike's query. ❝ oh, huh. well — isn't the ethically correct answer 'world peace'? ❞ he ventures, grin crooked and good-humoured. ❝ — and, the selfish answer is probably like, a ferrari. with a cool racing stripe? ❞ corners of his eyes crinkle warmly — a joke, mostly.

after a moment, leland hums softly, giving his answer some earnest thought. ❝ naw, i guess i never thought about it too much, ❞ he admits. he supposes he should want to graduate, make some big state team, and be successful. but that wasn't quite the right answer, either. ❝ … i think maybe i want to always have people around me, that make me wanna be better. i wanna always be this happy. does that make sense? ❞ maybe that was awfully long-winded. he gives a shrug, pulling knees to his chest, and parking his chin atop them; ❝ and, maybe some extra money. i'd pay off mom's house. ❞ leland huffs a laugh. easy smile returns, and he lilts his head, retriever-adjacent, at his friend; ❝ what about you, mikey? what's your big dream? ❞

i swear i'm gonna fix everything. / for Johnny !!!

"I don't think you are," says the dream, very gently. "You didn't break anything to begin with. Not every burden is yours."

There's music in the air; a sweet, summer melody that comes from everywhere and nowhere, or maybe from deep within the chest of the warm-eyed creature at Micah's side. They know, without needing to ask, that this creature's name is Johnny. He feels like an old friend, perhaps; someone they might have known in another life.

Somehow, this place is familiar, but it's hard to tell what it really looks like. It's just warm, and the warmth is everywhere, over and around and inside xem, and they are outdoors and indoors all at once. Long grass, gold in the sunlight; laundry hanging on a line. A sense of peace. Xe could stay here forever, or just for as long as xe wanted.

"There's nothing to fix," the dream tells Micah again, hand on its shoulder. His voice--it is his music in the air. "Least of all you. I think some of the others would like to hear that more often, and I think it would sound better coming from you."

When the Starwake System wakes, the dream they've had fades as fast as any sunrise.

bluebell :   does your muse learn from their past ,   or are they prone to repeating the same mistakes ?  

so here's the thing, dennis does learn from their past and they are prone to repeating the same mistakes. even if he has done something wrong in the past, he will most likely continue to do that wrong thing over and over again. most of the time when dennis does something wrong it's because they feel like they have to in order to keep up their persona. there are some situations where he will learn from his mistakes and avoid them in the future, but for the most part he will simply continue to repeat them. it's like he's stuck in a loop of bad behavior. he realizes that his actions have consequences, but he will always think of a way to deal with that consequence or avoid it entirely ( sometimes he will just push the consequence onto someone else ).

lavender :   how easy is it to gain your muse’s trust ?  once their trust is broken ,   how might one go about mending it ?  

it is very difficult to gain dennis' full trust. they will often pretend that they fully trust someone else when they really do not. they've got trust issues that run deep. when trusting someone you have to give up some of your control, and dennis does not like giving up control. he needs to be in full control over a situation, and have full responsibility. he doesn't trust that others will be able to do a task well. the mentality of "oh i'll just do it myself". once dennis' trust is broken, it will take a lot of time for it to be mended. a long time. it probably took a long time for them to fully trust in the first place. but after he fully gives himself over to someone and fully trusts them, if it's broken he will pull back hard. most likely lash out with anger as well. in order to mend it ?? patience. so much patience. also persistence. just trying to demonstrate that they can be trusted again.

sunflower :   what brings your muse the most joy in life ?  

a sense of community. even though they will swear up and down that the gang are all idiots, that they're incompetent and annoying, he loves them. he does feel loved by them. the one thing in his life that truly brings him joy is the sense of community that he and the gang have formed over the years.

is this normal for you? going out of your way like this? / Micah being genuinely curious about Corinth's nature as a Nightmare ...

It's one of those: when a dreamer gets just a little too lucid and realises that they're in a nightmare, and that the thing tormenting them can be communicated with. Micah seems to recognise the Corinthian as the source of all of this, and when they start asking questions he can't help it: he bares his teeth, tries to force the dream-narrative back into something manageable, and gets pissed off when it doesn't work.

"I don't usually put this much effort in, if that's what you mean," he snaps, slipping a knife from its holster. Fuck it: if they're lucid, so be it. Maybe he can still get to their eyes before they wake. "You'd better be worth it."

@starmore sent : kissing the tears from their cheeks / from Micah, the last kiss before they have to leave Charlie to do their Grand Final Trial ♡

charlie had tried to keep it together, he really did, but he hated goodbyes. but this wouldn't be a goodbye, it would be a see you later. because he would see micah again, he would. at least ... that's what he had to keep telling himself. he draws in a deep breath, trying to hold his tears back to no avail. a few sneak past, running down his cheeks. as micah leans forward, pressing soft kisses to his tear stained cheeks, he can't help but let out a small laugh.

"i love you so much ..." he says quietly, moving to wrap his arms around micah, tugging them as close to himself as possible. he squeezes tight, clinging to them like this might be the last time he was ever able to hug them again. it might be, after all. "be safe ... please. a-all of you be safe, as safe as you can. i'll be safe too, okay ?? d-don't worry about me." he mumbles into micah's chest, pulling back a fraction just so he can press a soft kiss to their lips.

"i'll see you later."

please, please, don't say goodbye to me. don't leave forever.

@starmore said: « promise me everything is going to be okay. » / Mike asking Leland this in chapter 1, trying to make him do the pinky promise with them even when it helps Mike feel more safer, sobs in hands ...

he doesn't think he can promise mike anything, just now. these horrible tunnels, this overwhelming inhale-exhale of rot, and decay, that made it hard to even think, or get past his twisting nausea. it felt like being in the bowels of some monster, being digested slowly. it felt like being buried alive under someone's floorboards. someone, who was still lurking somewhere in this basement. but they aren't dead, not yet. he would make sure mike got out of here — that they all got the hell out of here, no matter what.

but here they are, surrounded in darkness. here he is, trying to keep his breathing steady. here he is trying not to worry mike, even though he'd taken a hell of a beating, before they'd even woken up here, back at their camp. where he hadn't been able to defend any of them. had to watch — from the dirt, as his friends were pulled from their tents kicking and screaming. ( what makes you so sure you can protect them, this time? ) his skull pounds, he wants to go home. he wishes everyone could be home. leland drags in a shaky breath, comes back to the moment — the moment where mike is looking at him — looking for some kind of reassurance, or stability from him.

sometimes it's kinder to lie, his mom had once said. sometimes nobody wanted to hear the truth. so, he shelves those feelings, swallows them down like glass. leland brings a hand up to gently squeeze his shoulder, flashes mike a confident smile —one lie — ❝ c'mon, do i look scared? ❞ — two lies —and hooks their pinky fingers in a promise. smile brightens, practiced, but still genuine; ❝ it's gonna be okay. i'm not gonna let anything happen to you, i promise. ❞ god, he hoped this one wasn't a lie. there isn't time to think about it, anyway, and leland slowly wobbles to his feet, offering his hand to mike to help him up off the dirty ground. ❝ you and me, mike. we're gonna be brave, and we're gonna get the hell out of here, right? ❞

@starmore asked: "It's your favourite."

Sound of a glass cup clinking against the tabletop was what pulled March's attention away from her phone. She blinked in surprise before turning her gaze towards the other.

"....Is that - ... strawberry lemonade?" she didn't recall telling them her favorite flavor .... yet somehow they knew??

"heheh ... thanks, I was getting kinda thirsty. Wanna sit with me? I got some really good pictures and was just scrolling through em....."

[denniisa]

@starmore sent : what do you need ? — what can i do ?

oh those idiots, those absolute assholes. how dare they decide to leave him on the side of the road, taking off in his rangerover. to top it all off ?? when he went to grab his phone to call for a ride, he realized that his phone was still in the car. dennis paces along the side of the street, mumbling insults directed towards the gang under his breath, hands curled into fists at his sides.

head snaps to the side when he hears someone speaking to him. "what !?" after the words snap out of his mouth he realizes that maybe that was a little much. he draws in a deep breath, blowing it out through his nostrils. "sorry, sorry. i didn't mean to snap at you like that." he apologizes with a heavy sigh, shaking his head side to side. "i'm just a little worked up because my 'friends' left me on the side of the road and took my car. would you believe that ?? and to top it all off ?? my phone is in my car." eyes roll and he lifts his hands to rub across his face, dropping his arms to his sides then. "could you point me to the nearest bus stop, train station, anything ?? or let me borrow your phone ??"

[nightmarecountry]

sure. you have to give him something in return, though. an eye for an eye (or an eye for a happy meal), as they say--

[darehearts]

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY, FRIEND!!! WE WISH YOU A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY AND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE AS YOU SO DESERVEEEEE!!!!! 💖✨

THANK YOU SO MUCH I'M SENDING ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD YOUR WAY  !!

📁 📁 📁 / for Jesse !!!

the fadens had a dog when jesse was a kid, way before the slide projector. she was a border collie named sunny and passed away when jesse was 8. they got along very well and jesse has fond memories of sunny chasing dylan around their backyard in ordinary.

she regularly had nightmares about what happened in ordinary especially as a teenager. polaris would usually try and calm her down as best they could.

jesse technically has an apartment in new york city, from while she was still looking for the bureau, but she rarely spends time or sleeps there. she keeps renting it just in case she might ever have need of it someday, it’s a strange sort of comfort knowing it’s there.

@starmore said ; tell me a story. / for the Captain !!!

"the artificer is more the storytelling sort, if you're looking for something entertaining," they jerk a thumb back towards their sibling. or - - - where their sibling was all of twenty seconds ago. when the captain turns to look at them, they're no longer there. great. that's a problem for later. " ... but in their ill advised absence i can give it my best shot." their smile is a little worn at the edges but still warm and friendly as a hand curls around a glass that contains nothing but soda water. "fair warning, i've been told my stories sound more like reports than anything by varying credible sources."
