Something I've been thinking about is what we aren't shown in vol 3 when it comes to Gamora's emotions. There have been a lot of justified criticisms of her role and of how the mcu has treated parts of her story. I really hope they continue because it's an important conversation to have. But for now I want to come at this from a different angle and dig deeper on what we didn't get. I can only imagine how much anger Gamora must have at knowing she helped create a beautiful family and then Thanos killed her and now she will never be able to experience it in that same way. It has to hurt. Now she's here and she's doing the best she can with what she's got and it probably doesn't feel like enough. Especially when being compared to things she didn't get to experience. So when we get to the end of the movie and we have Peter moving forward enough in his grief to see Gamora for who she is in the moment and where she is at right now in her life and essentially tell her that she's enough, it's really beautiful and poignant and you can see it makes her happy. So happy that she finds the strength to be vulnerable and return the sentiment by finally saying she is at her core the woman he loved. It's such a powerful and loving moment.
True it's not her "I love you more than anything" but you know what that moment in Infinity War was the result of healing she was robbed of and hasn't found again yet. "I bet we were fun" was a huge step in the direction of finding that healing again. So people shouldn't didmiss it. And just to be clear I'm not speaking about people critiquing the fact that vol 3 dropped the ball on so much of Gamora's role and how she deserved so much better after Infinity War. I'm speaking about people who thought the exchange meant nothing and showed no emotional connection or that it was somehow shutting down that Gamora had any sort of feelings for Peter.
I can totally understand why Gamora would be hesitant to come back to this family that her alternate self created, even though I know she was curious and still craved to find that sort of thing (doesn’t she ask nebula about the guardians and alternate gamora in endgame? I haven’t watched the movie in actual years). I bet she was feeling a lot of pressure over it, like they would expect things of her that she was not able or willing to give to what were basically strangers to her, and decided the best thing for herself was to cut it off at the knees and leave it fully aside and make no attempts to get to know anyone. I think it’s pretty obvious though that she clearly still wanted something like that, and that’s why she kept in contact with Nebula and still calls her, her sister, and why she found the Ravagers and carved out a new home for herself there. But I do want to think that maybe she IS a little sad that there are things that were taken from her by Thanos. I don’t think she regrets her new family or her decision to keep the guardians at arms length, but yeah, I’m sure she’s contemplated what that would be like. Her “I bet we were fun” feels like proof that she’s thought about it, at least a little.
And you’re right, him acknowledging her as her own separate person DOES make her extremely happy! I think him saying that to her was really important for her, enough to start planting the seeds for this idea that, no, she will never be this other Gamora that they (and especially Peter) loved, but she is still worthy of love now and it can be totally separate. She doesn’t have to live in this other Gamora’s gigantic shadow. I think that was a big concern for her, and having him acknowledge that he liked her for who she was now was very relieving to her, and it allowed her to admit to him that she’d been thinking about them and what they must have been like. It’s a really big and important step for both of them and I’m tired of seeing people dismiss it as an end for them. It truly wasn’t!

Hi! Thank you so much for posting the new chapter :) I can’t even put into words how much I love your work. It feels crazy because I have been following liab for over a year now and I think I’ve never been this consistent with anything in my life :D i don’t know if it’s a secret but do you have the next chapters already planned out? And do you know how many chapters this part is going to be? Thank you for you hard work!!
Hiii aww I’m so glad you liked the new chapter! & yeah wow I’ve been writing this fic for like 2 years I think, shiiiit what is time ahhh. Thanks for sticking with me so long <3
I actually have pretty much all the chapter planned out until the battle begins but my problem is I do them by events so it’s like I want this this and this to happen in a chapter but idk how long it’ll take to make that happen but I know what I want to write lol.
(& sometimes the characters don’t LISTEN & I say be nice and make this an easy talk and they’re like no fuck you author I wanna fight right now and the convo takes 1.5k instead of idk 500 words lol. )
I just posted chapter 15 & I’m going to GUESS we are about halfway done. In my mind we are halfway through the last book and that means we have roughly 15 chapter left to go then the epilogue.
I’m pretty good at estimating chapter count but horrible at word count estimation haha.
Thanks for the ask I hope you have an awesome day!!

Can u do soft launching with Ni-ki?
I’ll be so honest with you, I probably won’t do this anytime soon, just because (1) I’m still on hiatus, (2) I tend to lean into writing enha hyung line more (it’s explained on my rules), and (3) since I am on hiatus, anything I write while on hiatus is probably going to focus more on what I’m thinking of at that time and the people I am interested in (for ex: riize rn)

Which muses are your favourite?
My current favourite muses are Ei and Ganyu. Although my main focus has been Ei, I’ve had a lot of fun writing her again and exploring her different emotional aspects, even outside of roleplaying. Ganyu was the first muse I played (on this account) so she deserves a lot of recognition on my part, though I think I am still a little rusty when it comes to playing characters at the moment.
Outside of tumblr, in 2020/2021, my favourite muse was actually Lucifer from Helltaker. I loved one particular plot with her in it where she was taken to a different world, where she had none of her powers but was doing quests with her friends (there were two) to build up her strength again. I think, to this day, it will always be one of my favourites because of how it was written + it was a really unique experience of mine. Plus it included romance and angst !!!!! like how perfect is that?

why do we not like fbm? isnt he just like a dude ???
You don’t have to dislike him. I have only parasocial reasons to be clear which is that he was originally a tester but let into the event. His fans have been rude and misogynistic towards hannah when she targeted him in tgttos even after he targeted her back. And he beat fein.berg in his first block w.rs on a team which I WOULD ARGUE was unfairly balanced towards pvp games.

I'm so sorry if you have answered this before, but I wanted to ask: how do you draft/write your stories? When I have longer stories, I always write the chapters out first and then type them, and I stuck to that routine for a very long time until I began writing shorter stories. Now, I do a blend of the two methods, but I always find my writing seems better when I write things out on paper first and then type it. I guess I say all this to ask what's your routine for writing a story?
hi anon!! (´∀`)♡ absolutely no need to apologize!! i did answer an ask about my writing process a loooong time ago which you can find right here! i feel like it answers all of your questions, but if it doesn’t and you have some more or you’d like some more clarification just let me know! <3

Do you think the conversation at the end of the film made it clear Gamora doesn't wanna be with him romantically? I have read some of your asks and answers about their ending, why do you think they might reunite again in the future and start a new romance based on the final scene vs what says otherwise?
If you’ve read some of my answers you’ll know my answer for this one lmao. idk why you guys want this to be an end for them so bad.

an annoying thing I keep running into with one of my bosses is that when she corrects me on tasks or makes changes in the way I do something she heavily implies (but of course doesn’t ever directly say) she thinks I’m being incompetent or lazy, but is choosing to do me the enormous favor of not calling me out. 99% of the time it’s re: stuff that’s a result of poor communication from the top – if i knew what I was supposed to be doing I’d have been doing it. I haven’t run into this kind of nonsense before but it’s extremely irritating.
