Stupid stupid ADHD vent that’s gonna be full of typoes bc I’m not going through this again once its written
But like, I just watched this ADHD TikTok that made me want to cry; not bc it was bad no no no no it was so fucking accurate that it actually made me str8 up upset and now I kinda feel like I wanna have a lil meltdown over it but that’s also just str8 up other stress that’s also piling up and getting worsened by the fact that that TikTok upset me but, but anyways.
She was like, talking and crying about the fact that like, so many people w/o adhd dont get that its not like a stupid lil haha I’m distracted diagnosis and that its a diagnosis bc it fucks up your life like with time blindness which is what she was talking abt as being her issue and its also my no 1 issue too. Bc like w her like, she’d lost her passport before Christmas and she knew that she and her family were gonna fly in may and she needed a passport and her family had been reminding her since she lost it but she hadn’t done it before like. Now she was freaking out bc it takes like 6-8 weeks for a passport to arrive and she didn’t have time and she was scrambling to figure out how to get it faster and get the appointments done and everything and all her family said was like, “you should have done this back when you first lost it instead of waiting until the last minute” like it was an act of laziness that kept her from not getting a new one and not like, time blindness and task paralysis that’s like. Legit serious fucking stuff that’s hard as hell to deal with.
And I like, felt myself get more and more upset along w her bc I’m always in trouble bc of my task paralysis/time blindness bc me getting stuff done on time is like, a 1/10 event, and people are always upset w me bc I either never arrive on time or get stuff on time which! Makes sense! I’m not saying they’re not allowed to be upset because they are if I’m delaying stuff. Shit doesn’t exist in a vacuum. But it’s like,
It’s kinda like how I’ve had ADHD my entire life, obv, but I didn’t get the diagnosis before I was 21 after having fought to get one for 3 years and I finally got it like, 2 months before I was done w vocational college (where I barely passed in any of my subjects, haha guess why) and like, now both my parents are pretty understandable of the fact that I can’t be on time for things, and whenever we do something where they pick me up/I gotta be there they always help me make sure we have a plan B in place (like if I have to catch a ferry) or if they’re picking me up they always say they’re gonna be here before they will bc they know now that no matter how hard I try I’m always gonna be probably 5-10 min delayed so we have a failsafe in place which. Nice. I’m 24. Glad we have that in place now (I am I am I am that they’re more understanding w me) but like, obv, I didn’t get the diagnosis before I wa already outta the house and in student accommodations and even after I got it it was a lot of trail and error etc but, what I’m trying to say is, that being a kid was hell because I never did anything on time, couldn’t do things, and obv they got frustrated with me (dad much more so than mom but, i digress) bc I was never ready when we were supposed to go places, never did my homework, never focused in school and like. I’m not old by any means but back when I was a kid it was still a common consensus that like, adhd was a boys thing and girls didn’t get it, so i just kept getting scolded and yelled at and other things for being lazy and and not caring abt anything and now like, my parents laugh abt it like wow you really did have adhd huh <3 like yeah!! I did!! No shit!!
And so like, not ONLY is the time blindness and executive dysfunction still there bc I was never taught how to cope w it properly, but I also get super stressed when I’m late for things and can’t do something bc I’m just waiting to get yelled at! Or hit! Bc i can’t do things! And I should be able to do them because I’m an adult, and I can do other things, and why the hell can’t you call people and pay your bills on time and book your appointments on time it just takes 5min and! I know it probably just takes 5min! But my brain is still stuck in how there’s just now, and not now. And everything that’s not now gets forgotten or put on hold, and with everything that’s now i stress myself to death to get it down probably way too late and have to reap the consequenses and it’s gonna be the same next time too! Because I know where the issue lies but how the hell do you fix things when the issue is your fucking brain structure? And then everyone says to put down memos and do timers as if that’s some magic trick. Like yeah great advice! I’ve tried it! AM ACTIVELY trying it! But how the HELL is that supposed to help me when I’m just rooted to the spot and physically cannot MOVE to do the thing I need to do before it’s pretty much too late and the stress kicks me outta the paralysis?
It’s HELL. It’s awful and terrible and makes me wanna cry almost constantly because I KNOW it’s a problem, but knowing it’s a problem doesn’t magically fix it! And I’m constantly TRYING to work on it but it feels like it doesn’t even matter because I’m still consistently min 5min late t o everything because i don’t process time properly and i forgot to try to change an appointment before it was too late and now i need to start driving at 3am on Thursday to get to a 10am appointment at a hospital 7hrs away from my apartment because I didn’t call them to change it 2 weeks ago because i physically couldn’t or bc the second i was reminded i immediately forgot before i could even write it down. And I’m having surgery on Friday and I haven’t gotten myself set up with a physical therapist yet because it’s felt like too much to go down and talk to them face to face to get it set up and now it’s too late and I have to do it tomorrow but I’m probably gonna forget! And i hate it! I hate that I always make people hurt and frustrated w me bc i can’t remember things or do things despite being an adult.
Bc like, I can do other things just fine! I do my dishes every day it’s no problem. I clean my apartment at least once a week so the clutter doesn’t pile up. I’m always 5min late to my job but once I’m there I work quick and consistently and my boss said she’d love to have me back for the summer before my online studies start if my leg gets well fast enough. My co-workers said they’d miss me. My friends say I’m funny and stylish and a good listener (once i learn to shut up for 2 seconds.)(they don’t say that. I think that. I know it’s an issue) I’m friendly and inclusive and I do my best to be enthusiastic abt the things people around me love, but I feel like it never shows that I’m trying or that I care bc I’m always late. And i never do things on time. And I’m forgetful and messy and i loose things.
… ADHD is scary, and frustrating and yeah sure it’s funny at times when you know me and you see me loose my phone 5 times in a row in the exact same spot. But, I hate knowing that people don’t think I care or don’t think I try when I’m trying so hard all the time but it’s never enough bc things never get done on time. I overthink even the simplest of tasks because the steps feel like too much and they never get done bc of it. 5min tasks will take me weeks. And I’m trying I’m trying I’m trying so hard. But I’m scared it doesn’t show and that scares me. I don’t know where I was going w this. I’m just stressed out.

THE GREAT ND REWATCH OF 2021 / OCTOBER 3, 2019 // the trial
(TW SUICIDE)
it's the reveal!!!! love that for her hope shes thriving (shes not) again w the two minutes of the next episode to sync the dates
-lmaoooo so i honestly wonder why they went for the full pulling-it-out-the-throat thing but idk (an interesting foil to her getting sick for more stereotypical reasons ie s2 "people find out theyre grandparents every day"
-I LOVE THIS GEORGE HAIR
-"i'd do anything for nancy" okay but....why 👀bit of an odd reaction imo
-bess with spilling the truth again 😂and gets shot down. tragic #shetried
-wait sooooo nobody tested the fingerprints on the knife when this shit happened?? or that tech didnt exist in 2000? i mean without a body how could they even call it murder? and who told the police?? like if the drews took the baby, the dress, and said nothing, who tells the cops shes missing or even dead? how did they know to search the bluffs? who told the media/public? it had to have happened that same night because ryan said when he got there later there were already rumors she was killed. after the baby and bloody dress, only her crown, a knife, and tire tracks were left. how did anyone find anything at this remote bluff without some kind of tip off? and why on earth would they think murder and not suicide with so little evidence?? thats gotta be like suicide central, sorry for the trigger
-"a little help, lucy?!" lucy seems unable to disobey a direct request from nancy (ie "lucy, stop" from later in the ep) when nancy speaks directly to her. so maybe if nancy had spoken aloud/engaged more lucy could have appeared more? nancy said she only comes around when she wants to but what if nancy herself could do a bit more, being the last thing lucy touched and all
-so in ep 2 when nancys in jail carson says "great grandma rosalind buried her valuables in the trunk" including the knives shown here. did carson and kates families even know about nancy? how did they explain not announcing a pregnancy or birth?
-"oh." john lmfaoooo
-BESS lmaoooo and ace's looks in the background and then at seeing nick approaching lmfaooo oh no / also why on earth is she apologizing?? he dumped her but she has to be sorry he found out she fucked someone else? someone nicer pls explain to me bc i dont get it. she dont owe him shit
-george is SO CUTE lmfaoooo and so forward and he was so shook but then he was like "oh hell yeah"
-"is he a vampire?!" ik nobody i knew got that reference 😂
-this entire search of the claw is a sham. what are they even looking for. clearly a set up by tamura but why/what does he suspect them of. esp w karen as accomplice, story should be airtight so why are they still investigating?
-john + ace dream team 💙
-god ace is such a yes-man. why is he so fucking loyal?? people like him are insane. how are they real. i suspect they arent. and no matter what you do you are never worthy of their unending loyalty anyway.
-so in the Good Place nancy was the one who had the key but in reality its ryan
-wonder if lucy's listening to ryan here talking about his love and grief for her
-"you were throwing away your future on a nothing girl" - nancy & ryan - their fathers dont want them to see "troubled" kids, want them to focus on school instead --> which they both struggle with and eventually do not achieve (maybe bc they want their kids to leave horseshoe bay?) for nancy its an interesting vice for someone whos really a goody two shoes/for ryan its subverted bc karen actually did worse than him ie committed real crimes
-"stay away from my family" surprise bitch bet you thought youd seen the last of me 😉
-interestingly, ryan probably would have agreed with karen about switching the ballot boxes but he wouldnt have really understood the social consequences. both josh and karen are determined to see ryan as the bad guy when actually he didnt do anything, they did. 🤔
-karen is such a ride or die friend. again w the loyalty. if someone swapped ballot boxes for me i'd be touched. im sure going into active labor made lucy a bit upset but damn. what a friend.
-wonder when nancy starts calling her "Lucy" instead of "dead lucy"
-lucy primarily haunting her own house/love seeing this house overtaken by nature
-the concept of writing things down : starting from the first ep, nancy's journal (then and now), writing out simon cards, similar cemetary cards in the Good Place, "beautiful minding it," culminating in lucy's journal / writing it down to help figure it out/when theres too much going on to keep it inside
-"i'll make a salad" NICK LMAOOO
-wonder what happened to carson's old lawyer?
-"my testimony begins in the summer of 1999" because your story always starts with your mother's story
-lmfaoooooo this shit taking the stand is soooo never allowed but oh well
-"she stole a knife" and carson's face lmfaooooo he knows its not true but what could he fucking say?? no?
-"i love you mom, i hope you never find this." ironic bc nancy didnt want her dad to find her journal either
-lucy never wanted anyone to find out how she died d/t shame- but she didnt want carson to go to jail for it so she finally allowed it (or just couldnt refuse nancy asking)
-"i'm sorry for what you lost"/"i'm never gonna be free from them"
-awww ace/mcginnis goodbye / i wonder if ace is nervous thinking about tamura --> ace's dad since chief mcginnis covered for ace out of respect for his dads sacrifice but tamura would throw both ace and his dad under the bus just to get at nancy (get at her via ace? since he was already used as the blackmail plot device? they kinda touched in this in s2 but not fully)
-okay sooo why are they still doing this forensic analysis thing? like the whole things over so whats the point. i wonder if john had packed up and gone home what coulda happened
-nancy/carson - interrupted moments:
•family dinner interrupted by nancy's accsations
•being home after finding ted interrupted by carson's arrest
•celebration of dropped charges interrupted by nancy discovering the truth about her parentage
-"i cooked your favorite to celebrate" ironic bc shes upset that hes not her "real" dad but he IS because he knows her best. like theyre literally proving it right in front of her. vs ryan whom she doesnt really want anyway AND rejects requests to get to know her. like come on sis. his 20 years of parenting you arent going away, ever. deal w it.
-carson's little smile before he said "'mom never hurt lucy" like he knows this is the end / scott's acting here just kills me
~~~~~~~~~
-why did the drews come back at all? and why did kate really keep the dress? carson says she did it as a link to lucy, but did kate want to keep it to be connected to lucy? or did she bury it to keep lucy repressed? is this a positive or a negative? +keeping in attic - did lucy start to haunt kate, so she unburied the dress?
and lastly:
-why doesnt lucy haunt everett and celia hudson? she kind of does ie painting but only when nancy visits bc shes actually haunting nancy. isnt everything the hudsons' fault?

more ehh thoughts (recent edition):
w o w
can’t even speak my damn mind anymore in this house I guess without getting the whole, ‘get out then if you don’t like it here. look for a section 8 place and blah, blahhhh’ speech.
the signature speech of my parents when I get on their ‘last nerves’..
all just for speaking my mind. lovely
all bc I said something in regards to something political my dad was talking about. then saying black lives matter after bc it was also apart of the conversation
(which is my opinion)
that word doesn’t sit well in my parents ears.. my dad to be specific apparently.
he then started saying I should just look for somewhere else to go and that if I say that again, something will happen. (not anything violent on me,but make me leave to somewhere else type of happen )
guess my parents (specifically my dad) wants me dead if he wants me to go out and find somewhere else to go. it’s not like, idk, i have a fucking immunocompromised system or anything like that ya know?? also.... during a fucking pandemic as well ?? helllloooo, old man?? i just don’t know anymore sometimes with my parents
caught me off guard a bit and hurt really fucking bad.. like, wow. if that’s how you feel, then let me go which you won’t and won’t admit.
used to it though which is silly to say, but I can’t do anything much about it even if i tried. so, I must deal for now anyway I can.
we settled our differences though which, I’m glad, but I hate that I was the first one to do it. shows how it is in my family at times
-
at least my mom and few friends are on my side. ridiculous to be treated like this for having a fucking opinion.  
doesn’t help either to get teased about it. like I haven’t been most of my life already ya know, shit.
sick of this house sometimes. the people in it, I should say.. sigh
———
———
I feel like I’m not, as ‘feminine’ as a lady should be. adds to my existing body probsss
can’t put makeup on. can’t get my nails done. can’t use bath bombs. can’t use facial creams or certain acne products. can’t buy clothes I’d like to shape my body and whatnot.. it goes onnnn. I would like to do what a lady likes to feel/look her absolute best ya know.
I can’t though. trying?????which doesn’t really go anywhere much tbh
I have an unused makeup palette and lippies going to absolute waste in my drawer.
which, cost me gooood money bc gooood brand. treat myself.
to see it go to waste though,is heartbreaking...
I could be using it now during the pandemic,but I have no one to help me with it. I can’t do it myself with my fucked up arms/hands either so that’s a nope.
my mom won’t help me and I’ve asked. she has more important things to do than make me look like a little clowns spawn.
I have so many ideas and I can’t execute them as I’d like. never can and it hurts. maybe on a drawimg, but having it applied to your face is a much better experience. very relaxing as well,but to take off.. that’s a process
doesn’t help that I’m told I’d look better with it as well, which totally helps my self esteem ya know. "it suits your moon face and covers those acne bits.."
fucking hell.. like, let me be.
guess not though it seems :lllllll
-
I feel gross about my skin.. dry and flaky at times from my medication and bc my body is a lil ass. it’s fucking oily on occasions as well.. ughhh. a whole nightmare, in my opinion
small acne scars,pimples from an imbalanced body in miscellaneous spots and places where they shouldn’t be.. I hate it.
I cannot look at myself without wanting to scream sometimes. I just stare and flip through a plethora of thoughts until I’m sitting there watching myself cry
I can’t buy the right skin products without suffering a break out or some kind of allergic reaction either. that’s how ‘sensitive’ i am.. ughh and people think it’s sooo fucking easy to take care of your skin.
help me out then and do it for me instead of telling me when I’ve said why I couldn’t in the first place..
fucking shit
-
I use to do my nails and paint them different colors almost every other week or so when I was younger. that was when I could move them to a certain extent. now i just can’t much for that. maybe?but I don’t want to risk twisting my wrist again. which, oddly helped a bit, but I’m not risking it
can’t even paint my right hand without leaning into a terrible spine position bc of my curled in fingers. it’s "so easy" though.my big ass it is
so, I just leave them bare nowadays
I have chipped and or broken nails anyway from fidgeting and anxiety. so, that’ll get in the way when they’re colored
sigh
-
bath bombs are the most elegant form of hygienic self care. a bubbly concoction for your skin to dip in.. ughhhh. sounds so relaxing and funnn
can’t sit in a fucking tub though to enjoy it and I don’t have the walk in ones. just a plain walk in shower. every time I see someone post about them, I melt inside. so pretty with the glitter fragments and the colorsss...mm
how I wish I could endure a porcelain tub to soak and forget about the world for a moment.
I can dream, but that still hurts as well.
-
I used to wear slim fitting tops for my stomach bc I was one of the chubby ones ya know.
now, I want to use them more bc my body doesn’t look how I thought it would be at my age. due to medication and lack of movement, just made it worse and it’s not my fault. feels like it is though and I tried. still am and it’s been hard lately with the pandemic. massive buying spells again so, some healthy goods are not available.
apparently though it seems nowadays being ‘thicc’ is in when years before it was absolutely frowned upon.
I got teased for being ‘thicc’ and now I’m somewhat getting praised for it?? kinda weird circus did I buy tickets for? unless I didn’t??
like, what do y’all mean, now it’s in????? stop being such a rude wad of shit and quit playing with people like this.
I don’t know what to accept much anymore and it’s bothers me so damn much
even if you do get praised,you must meet the standards. with some that is, I should say. must be at least some sort of skinny. some sort of, shaped being that I don’t really want to explain bc I feel it’s obvious.
some disabled folks are almost never in this section and when so, seems very fetishized.
hopefully this paints a small picture or whatever size you prefer your canvas to be. I’ve already talked about my body and more like this just gets me upset
———
———
uggh why are people still making stupid party plans, going to crowded places and doing other irresponsible shit... during a fucking pandemic?? It’s literally s o fucking irritating.
these people do not grasp this it seems, but ooooooohhh. gotta go out and risk it for someone who doesn’t even care about my health,others and even themselves.
fucking dumb
-
funny to see them complain about being home and all bc of this. like, how do you think I’ve felt and countless other disabled folks like me? sucks h u h. no freedom to go anywhere for risk of a fucking accident or worse, d e a t h.
it’s easy as hell to stay home and keep yourself occupied but apparently it’s a big ass deal
read, write, draw, cook, c l e a n. go out in your, idk, backyard as your outside relief?? is it really that b a d of a need to go somewhere??
especially when eventually it’ll drain you and you’ll eventually go back h o m e anyway ??t’s ridiculous.
"you should be thankful you can even go out."
yeah, to appointments, groceries, and concerts o n l y.
I don’t have the fucking privilege to go out at my own leisure and when I do, I have to plan like a mf.
it’s not easy. can’t drive. van is always busting on us. parents are my only source of a ride. can’t even generally go out anywhere bc of stupid stairs and all that.
I swear. every time I see a friend, mutual or family put something like that.. irritates me. I wanna comment so bad,but I don’t want to start anymore drama.
maybe soon I will. who fucking knows
———
———
i miss shows and all, but I just don’t as much.
I’m paranoid to think of going to future ones now..
I’ve already missed a majority of concerts my whole childhood and teen years due to my disability.
I don’t want to miss out on my young adult life now that I’m somewhat in a ‘better state’ bc some of y’all don’t want to be cautious and follow rules.
shows are therapeutic for me, but idk anymore now if it’s makimg me like this
disabled folks like myself who enjoy these shows are in so much fucking danger, it’s ridiculous.
we already were anyways with moshing and all.. which I know some act like they don’t know.
y’all are so desperate to go like, what about the other fandom folks who can’t even attend these shows though?? sad
these lives performances some artists have been doing are perfect and we need to support them more with this format. encourage the fuck out of them like the do to us with their music and whatnot.
I was so fucking thankful DGD did one.
it was a great time, but not so great when everyone is like, but what about an ‘actual show’?
it’s just, never enough with some of the fans I swear. irritating
yeahhh ,lets risk the fuckin band/bands getting sick so they can play for us. yasssss. shows how much they read up on the members and care about their health/wellbeing.
———
———
being sober brings back a lot of suppressed memories. nights are bit hard when going through this
makes me remember quite a bit of conversations that others have probably or most likely have forgotten by now as well
irritating and sad. that’s how I get some of my dreams as well which cause lack of sleep at timessss y a y
———
———
I, over share too much at times it seems.. how the hell do people want to know me though????
if I’m making the situation, odd or whatever, fucking tell me instead of ignoring it and trying to move on with some stupid shit
if I can fucking sit through y’alls oversharing.. can with fucking mine
———
———
I hate how everything that’s so wholesome and genuine I see, I can barely even do and say..
I especially hate how I imagine it with someone who deserves better. this is wearing me out I swear to fucking god
I put some of my eggs in the wrong basket.. again
ohhh fucking boooyyy
least it’s a good basket..
———
sometimes I feel so uneducated when taking with friends. my mind is like a fucking mad libs book on new game plus.
it’s blanks out and replaces important vocabulary with some silly childish shit instead

New Rules
Title: New Rules
Pairing: Peter Parker x Reader
Request: Can you do something with tom or Peter based on the song new rules by dua lipa? It would be great if you could 😘💖
Word count: 2,582
A/N: I literally listened to this song nonstop while making this and i didnt edit any of it so its all raw writing but i really liked how it turned out. enjoy!
Warnings: Swearing, angst, very hostile actions, alcohol 
Tagged (permanent): @tomllholland , @manyfandomstohandle , @superheros-and-books , @jor-da-na , @ferls212 
Tumblr media
You and Peter have been friends since diapers, you were there for him when his parents died and he moved across the hall from you, he was there for you when your mom died from cancer.
You both made a pack that you would always have each other no matter what, but right now in this moment it felt like peter had abandoned you.
You were at Liz's party, the music loud and Peter trying his best to get Liz's attention while you were being harassed by drunk teenage boys.
"Come on it won't hurt I just wanna touch em." That's it you thought that's he line, "Peter please let's go." You yelled your plea over the loud music Flash was DJing.
"Y/N come on I've only gotten to talk to Liz once." Peter spoke without making even a glance your way. You finally got the strength and pushed your way out of the small amount of guys trying to not just harass you but sexually harass you and if Peter isn't going to help then I just have to help myself, as soon as you were out of the small circle you felt a hand slap your butt and with instinct you turned around as slapped the guy who touched you.
The sound of the slap echoing around with the music which finally grabbed the attention of your so called best friend, Peter. His eyes widened at the scene before him. A hand print on some guys face and tears threatening to spill out of your eyes.
You connected your eyes with his for a split second before turning on your heels to go and find Ned to walk home with.
You had hoped that maybe Peter would run after you, stop you and talk to you about what happened but when you turned around to see if he would follow you saw him get stopped by Liz and not make any other effort to try and get to you.
You huffed and turn back around to continue your search for Ned, you were leaving with or without Peter.
You finally found Ned in the kitchen awkwardly staring at the bowl of chips set out next to the wine coolers, "Hey Ned you okay?" Ned jumps slightly making you let out a small laugh.
"Hey yeah sorry, what's up? Where's Peter?" Ned asked his scanning for Peter around you "he's off with uhh well you should know.." you shrugged "but I really wanna leave and Peter won't listen to me so do you you could walk me home?" Your pleading eyes catching Ned's.
"Alright, let's go." Ned sighed taking the lead toward the front door of Liz's house.
You brush past Liz and Peter trying to make yourself unnoticeable, which shouldn't be hard to do since Peter only ever has eyes for Liz, But a hand catches your arm before your out of the living room.
"Hey Y/N, where are you going?" You rake your eyes up the hand and arm that caught you only to be greeted by the brown orbs you were trying to avoid.
"I'm leaving and Ned is taking me home." You huff pulling your arm from Peters hand and catch a glimpse of hurt in his eyes before turning and continuing your trek out of the large house.
"There you are." Ned released a breath as you stepped onto the front porch.
"Yeah sorry, Peter stopped me..." You let out a shaky breath before continuing "Shall we go?" You smile over at Ned. "Sure." He smiles back stepping off the porch with you right behind him. You slip you hands into the small pockets on your jeans. "Hey Ned, could we just go to yours?" Ned laughs lightly, nodding his head fro your answer.
"Thanks." you sigh, seeing your breath come out into the air in a small puff cloud.
Ned and you have been walking for about 10 minuets which meant that you were almost to Ned's place. You only asked to go to his because you knew you would have to call your dad to come pick you up from a party which you weren't even suppose to be at in the beginning but peter had talked you into it. Now that you were thinking about it Peter did that a lot, convinced you to go out and 'hangout' as he put it but you saw through the lie, whenever you two would hang out it would be somewhere with Liz.
You felt your chest start to throb and hurt thinking about how much Peter liked Liz and not you, she hardly ever gives him a sideways glance when I'm always going out of my way just for him, why can't he see that. You puff seeing your breath come out again. It's getting colder and you didn't have a coat.
"Hey Ned do you have a jacket at your house i could wear?" you speak up, "Uh yeah, we'll be there in like ten minuets." Ned replied looking over his shoulder slightly at you.
You saw figure appear out of an ally next to the pathway to Ned's place. A nervous feeling surged through your body telling you not to move further but you didn't listen, instead you followed Ned across the street, he must've gotten the same feeling.
As soon as the two of you passed by the figure and the ally the feeling subsided and the feeling relief replaced it. But that didn't last long when you felt a hand grab your midsection and another hand slap over your mouth. You tried to scream but it was only muffed by the large hand covering your face. Ned snapped his body back to see what had happened and his eyes widened at the scene.
"Give me all your money kid and she doesn't get hurt." The figure spat at Ned which sparked him to search through all his pockets, scavenging what looked to be just a dollar, "Come on kid, you gotta have more than that, what about your wallet." The man spat again at Ned, his grip tightening around your waist. You felt tears roll down your face and your life flashing before your eyes. What-what if Ned doesn't have what he wants and he kidnaps me, or .. kills me. Your mind flips to the worst situation that could happened causing more tears to fall and screams to come out of your muffled mouth. "Shut it." the man hissed in your ear making you crawl in your skin.
"Come on kid hurry u-" the grip around your waist vanishes along with the hand around your face, "Didn't anyone tell you, stealing lunch money is sooo last season." You whip your head around to see who saved you and your friend.
You freeze seeing the familiar red and blue suit of the local hero, spider-man. He shoots a web at the guy trapping both his hands on the pavement and one more at the guys mouth silencing his words. "Thank you Mr. Spider-man!" Ned practically shouted with a smile bigger than the sun on his face. How could Ned smile after a situation like that? "It-" the hero coughed, "it's nothing, are you two alright?" his voice lowered slightly as his head switched looking from Ned to you.
You couldn't do anything, you're still frozen, no words able to come out so all you did was nod as the last of your tears fell from you face. "Hey, hey your okay now." Spider-man began walking toward you with his arms open ready to hug you, and you accepted the hug needing some kind of comfort at the moment and the guy you really wanted here to be with you wasn't so a superhero was a pretty good substitute.
You were the first to pull away from he hug and wipe your tears off your face with the back of your hand, "would you like me to walk you guys home?" the hero spoke taking a small step back from you.
"I'm good spider-man but Y/N here lives a bit away, do you think you could walk her?" Ned asked from the side of you. Your head snapped over to Ned direction than back to looking at the masked hero in front of you, "You really don't have to, I can just call my-" you were interrupted by spider-man "Oh not its no big deal, plus you need to stay safe and no where is safer than with a hero." he said proudly putting his hands on his hips. you felt a small smile creep onto your face and agreed to let him walk you home.
"Good night Ned, please be safe." You waved to your friend who contained walking to his house. "So where do you live?" your eyes glanced up at the heres mask, specifically where his eyes should be, "uhh right off of park avenue." You practically whispered tearing your eyes away from his mask and began walking home with spider-man.
As soon as you reached your apartment building you thanked your masked hero and took the stairs to the floor your apartment was on.
You fished your keys out of your pocket and opened the door. "There you are!" your dada practically ran you over as you came in the door, "Where were you young lady." you smiled, tears threatening to spill out of your eyes because you loved your dad so much and what happened just a little while ago made you realize just how much you needed to show him how much you loved him, "I was with Peter and Ned, we went to grab some food and then a movie." you spoke walking to your room, yes you loved your dad and you had a life changing experience but you can't let him know what happened, he would be furious and worry about you non-stop. You didnt want to add to his already full plate.
As soon as you were in your room you changed into your pajamas and slid into your bed, under the covers and tried your best to get to sleep.
"Hey!" the familiar face of Peter's comes into your view "Hey." You sigh shutting your locker and make your way to your first class of the day.
"Whoa whoa wait Y/N!" Peter shouted grabbing your arm so you would stop, "What's wrong?" you could hear the confused sadness in his voice, you didn't dare turn around because you would fall back into his trap of doing what he wants and him forgetting you even exist because Liz is in the same room. "Nothing, Peter I'll talk to you later." You pull your arm away from his grip and continue to your class.
Lunch finally rolls around and you can't be more happy to just go to the library to relax from the world and eat your food in private while shoving your nose in a book. But as soon as you reach the clear see through doors of the library you see Peter sitting at the table you normally find yourself at.
You catch his eyes and instantly regret ever coming to the library in the first place because he gets up out of his chair and starts toward your direction. You can feel the panic rise in your stomach and instead of being the mature person and talking to Peter, you turn on your heel ad head in the direction back to the lunch room.
"Y/N!" you hear Peter yell as the library doors slam close. your feet begin to pick up speed as you see the lunch room entrance and frantically look for Michelle, you spot her at the corner of the lunch room with a book in one hand and an apple in the other. You head to her table, set your stuff down and practically slam your head on the table.
"Tell me when he's gone, ok?" you speak just loud enough for Michelle to hear.
"He's headed over here." Michelle spoke in her monotone voice while she put her book down on the table, "Whats going on?" you lifted your head from the table to be greeted by Peters worried looking face. "You said you'd talk to me later and its later so what is going on?" you slowly turned your head to look at Michelle for some help but only saw her pack up her things and grab her lunch tray before leaving, "Thanks MJ!" you sarcastically shouted as she walked away with a small wave.
a sigh escaped Peters mouth causing you to put your focus back on the distressed boy, you couldn't help the guilt that rose in your throat because of how bad you were treating Peter.
"Listen Peter-" you didnt get to finish as peter interrupted you "Is this about last night? I'm sorry i wanted to talk to Liz, it was my chance and i decided to take it." Peter grabbed your hand, squeezing git slightly "You understand right?" you were disgusted by the smile that graced his face. "No Peter it's not only about last night but overtime we fucking 'hangout' we always seem to go where ever Liz and then you forgot that I'm even there god dammit." you couldn't help your voice raising a little bit, you were mad, mad that the guy liked was sitting across from you treating you like he didnt even see it. "wha- no i wasn't-" this time you cut him off, pulling your hand away from his.
"No Peter, I'm not done.." you sucked in a deep breath before continuing "did you know last night was getting harassed by a group of guys? I called you and asked for help but all you could think about was Liz and-and when i finally got the courage to stand up for them and leave asking you to leave with me you didnt, you-you-you got distracted by Liz, fucking Liz so i went to find Ned.." you let out a shaky breath, trying to control your emotions and actions.
"And when Ned and I were walking back to his house we got jumped Peter, we got jumped Peter Parker!" you practically were shouting by now with tears threatening to spill from your eyes "And all i could think in that moment was that I was going to be kidnaped or killed and you weren't with me...you-you weren't with me, you were with Liz."
you tear your eyes away from Peters, everything getting too intense for you. "Ned and I got saved from Spider-man, Peter." By this point tears were falling from your eyes as you furiously wipe them away. "So Last night i decided.." you pause taking in another breath before continuing "I decided that I can't do this anymore. I'm in too deep and i don't , no I can't bare being hurt by you anymore Peter, so goodbye."
you stand from the lunch table leaving your tray of food and the broken heart of Peter Parker behind. You look back one last time as you leave the lunch room, seeing Peter already staring at you with tears spilling down his face.
"This is better for both of us, I promise." You whisper more to yourself than anyone else. You were done with being hurt.
You're playing by your rules now and rule 1 is Peter Parker is out of your life because if you let him back in you'll be stuck in an endless loop of pain.

Guardians of the Galaxy: The Fan Musical: Act 1
i’m so sorry i’m not sure how this happened but uh, this exists now enjoy it, i guess? idfk all credit for the fanfic goes to me but all songs belong to their original owners and performers
Act 1
Stage lights up. The stage is dark apart from a chair where there sits a young boy holding a Walkman casette player, center stage. He stares at the casette player silently, before rewinding the tape on it again. This boy is YOUNG QUILL, and as the tape plays and he begins singing, the stage lights slowly go up to reveal that he is in a hospital waiting room.
YOUNG QUILL: I'M NOT IN LOVE... SO DON'T FORGET IT, IT'S JUST A SILLY PHASE I'M GOING THROUGH...
Lights rise on stage right. DOCTOR is speaking to GRANDPA, while MEREDITH lies in a bed nearby. She is attached to a heart monitor and medicinal equipment. Music condinues underneath.
DOCTOR: Her condition isn't stable. It's getting worse.
GRANDPA: There's something -- we can do something. She's not--I don't want to lose her. Her son is in the other room, what am I going to tell him? She's all he has.
DOCTOR: It won't be easy, I know. But he has time to say his goodbyes. That's more than some get.
GRANDPA: Please, I--!!
DOCTOR leaves. GRANDPA paces the floor as YOUNG QUILL continues singing softly.
YOUNG QUILL: AND JUST BECAUSE I CALL YOU UP, DON'T GET ME WRONG, DON'T THINK YOU'VE GOT IT MADE...
The sound of a heart monitor faintly plays in the background.
YOUNG QUILL: (con't) I'M NOT IN LOVE, NO, NO....
HOSPITAL STAFF: IT'S BECAUSE...
YOUNG QUILL enters near GRANDPA. GRANDPA is barely able to look at the boy, but YOUNG QUILL speaks up first.
YOUNG QUILL: ...Grandpa? Is mom doing...you know, okay? I just...um. I know there's a lot going on, but it's my birthday, and I just...
GRANDPA: Pete, I...
MEREDITH: (weakly, from bed) Peter...
YOUNG QUILL: Mom!!!
YOUNG QUILL runs to be near MEREDITH. GRANDPA, distraught, stays where he was.
GRANDPA: I LIKE TO SEE YOU, BUT THEN AGAIN... THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU MEAN THAT MUCH TO ME....
MEREDITH: SO IF I CALL YOU, DON'T MAKE A FUSS... DON'T TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THE TWO OF US.
YOUNG QUILL: I'M NOT IN LOVE, NO, NO...
YOUNG QUILL, MEREDITH, and GRANDPA: IT'S BECAUSE...
Music continues underneath. MEREDITH looks up at YOUNG QUILL with a soft smile.
MEREDITH: ...Beautiful. You look like an angel, just like your daddy. So, so beautiful...
GRANDPA: ...Mere, you had a present for Peter, didn't ya?
MEREDITH: Of course.
MEREDITH softly hands over a wrapped present to YOUNG QUILL, who stares at it, and then at his mother. He shifts on his feet, and MEREDITH lets out a sigh.
MEREDITH: I wish you could've met him. He came from space and he practically glowed. Everything he did was blessed by God's good graces. 'cluding you.
YOUNG QUILL: Mom, I--
MEREDITH: My little...
MEREDITH lets out a terrible cough. YOUNG QUILL edges away, but she looks him in the eyes, smiling as if nothing had even happened.
MEREDITH: Now, baby, I hear you've been makin' trouble...why did you beat up those boys, Peter?
YOUNG QUILL: They hurt a poor frog that didn't do nothin'. Poked it with a stick.
MEREDITH: You always were carin' for everythin'. Too much, I'd almost say, but...ya got that from me.
YOUNG QUILL: It doesn't even matter now, mom, are you...okay?
MEREDITH is silent for a moment as the music is quiet.
MEREDITH: No.
GRANDPA looks horrified. YOUNG QUILL stays frozen, but isn't surprised - however, he is on the brink of tears. MEREDITH gently, weakly reaches a hand out.
MEREDITH: I don't want to lie to you. I'm not. I don't know if I'll ever be. But I love you too much to keep you believin' that this is all that's meant for you...your daddy, he's gonna come back, and he's gonna...he's gonna make everything alright. Just like he did for me. You'll be okay, sweetheart, I just...
YOUNG QUILL is edging away from the bed.
MEREDITH: Peter, please...hold my hand.
YOUNG QUILL: No....no!!! I don't want Dad, I want you, Mom! I don't--!!
GRANDPA tries to keep YOUNG QUILL from freaking out, but only results in making him run away.
GRANDPA: PETER!!!
MEREDITH waits, with her hand outstretched for a few more shaking moments as the beeping of the heart monitor slows to a crawl. GRANDPA looks at her lifeless form, and the click of a casette player being turned off is heard. The lights dim stage right as they rise center stage.
YOUNG QUILL is running, a panicked expression on his face as he runs into a tall blue man that lets out a small laugh. This man is YONDU UDONTA, the leader of the RAVAGERS.
YONDU: You look like you're runnin' from some kinda problems, boy. You know runnin' hardly ever solves nothin', right? Yet you doin' it anyway.
YOUNG QUILL: Who...who are you? I don't--I don't need to talk to you. I'm...I'm waiting for my dad.
YONDU: Oh, ya are, are ya? Ae you Peter Quill?
YOUNG QUILL: How do you--
YONDU: The name's Yondu. Yondu Udonta.
YOUNG QUILL: Are you my dad?
YONDU pauses for a moment, and then lets out a loud laugh.
YONDU: Let's just call me an associate, boy. I'm here to take you with me. And from the sounds of things, ya ain't got no choice in the matter, if you wanna keep runnin'.
YOUNG QUILL: My mom is--my mom is dead.
YONDU: We've all lost people, boy. Now, ya got two choices. You can run back to the place where ya lost everything. You're alone. You have to confront everythin' and that's tough for a little boy like you to handle. Or you can come with me.
YOUNG QUILL: Where are we going? Where does dad live?
YONDU: A few wormholes away from here, give or take. We'd be goin' places you'd never seen before. Places you'd never imagine to see. You'd have adventure, you'd have an experience, and you wouldn't have to live with no past mistakes. But...
YONDU smiles dangerously.
YONDU: You'd be travelin' with me. And my men ain't never much messed with Terrans. You'd have to make yourself useful, too, but....ain't you ever wanted to see what it's like beyond the life you have now? Beyond the planet you have now?
YOUNG QUILL: I thought my mom was kidding when she said my dad was a spaceman. I thought that he was an astronaut.
YONDU: Ya thought wrong, kid. Now are you in, or out? We've wasted enough time, and...well. Too long with this and you might not have any choice anymore.
YOUNG QUILL: ...Okay. I don't know if I'll like it too much at first, but I just...
YONDU: It gets easier, boy. Much easier.
YOUNG QUILL: I doubt it.
YONDU: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER.... OOH CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER.  
OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONA GET EASIER... OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRGHTER....
YONDU motions for YOUNG QUILL to follow him stage left. Lights rise on the RAVAGERS SHIP. The RAVAGERS CREW is inside and each take a look at YONDU and YOUNG QUILL as they enter.
CREW: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL PUT IT TOGETHER AND GET IT UNDONE. SOMEDAY, WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER.
YOUNG QUILL takes a look around the ship. YONDU nods at his crew, and the sound of the ship's engines beginning to start up is faintly heard.
YONDU: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL WALK IN THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN. SOMEDAY, WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER...
YOUNG QUILL: What is this? Where am I?
YONDU: You're onboard the ship of the Ravagers. Currently you're on Terra, but you ain't gonna be for much longer. You're one of us now, kid.
RAVAGER 1: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER...
RAVAGER 2: OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL BE BRIGHTER...
YOUNG QUILL: What is a Ravager?
YONDU: To make things all nice and simple-like, Peter - you're a pirate now. So act like one! 'Course, not too much like one. I can't promise that my men don't get antsy, and I ain't tasted no Terran before. If you get too ahead of yourself...let's just say the last stowaway we had...
RAVAGER 2: He was a great dinner guest!
RAVAGER 1: But very gassy.
RAVAGER 2: Was that you?!
YONDU: Shaddup, the both of yas! Or I'll go ahead and make you next!
RAVAGER 2 gulps. RAVAGER 1 almost laughs before YONDU smirks at him.
YONDU: That was a plural you. RAVAGER 1 immediately gulps as well.
CREW: SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL PUT IT TOGETHER AND GET IT UNDONE. SOMEDAY, WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER.
SOMEDAY, YEAH, WE'LL WALK IN THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN. SOMEDAY, WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER...
LA LA LA...
CREW continues singing and dancing. YOUNG QUILL takes a look aronnd the ship, with YONDU as his guide.
CREW (YONDU): SOMEDAY (SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY) WE'LL GET IT TOGETHER AND WE'LL GET IT UNDONE SOMEDAY WHEN YOUR HEAD IS MUCH LIGHTER
SOMEDAY (SOMEDAY, SOMEDAY) WE'LL WALK WITH THE RAYS OF A BEAUTIFUL SUN SOMEDAY WHEN THE WORLD IS MUCH BRIGHTER
YONDU: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER... OOH, CHILD, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER...
YOUNG QUILL: OOH, CHILD, THINGS ARE GONNA GET EASIER... OOH, THINGS'LL GET BRIGHTER...
CREW: RIGHT NOW!
The sound of the ship taking off is heard.
CREW (YONDU): RIGHT NOW!
RIGHT NOW!
RIGHT NOW! (YOU JUST WAIT AND SEE, HOW THINGS ARE GONNA BE) RIGHT NOW! (YOU JUST WIAT AND SEE, HOW THINGS ARE GONNA BE..)
YOUNG QUILL grins, standing at the front of the ship as the lights go out.
Lights rise again on the RAVAGER SHIP, A FEW WEEKS LATER. YOUNG QUILL is holding a gun and aiming at a target. He curls his tongue in concentration, almos fires--
YONDU: Quill! I need you!
And YOUNG QUILL accidentally fires and lets out a yelp.
YONDU: What was that?!
YOUNG QUILL: Uh, nothing, Yondu! Just...nothing you need to worry about. Uh. Mark...lin did it!
YONDU: Marklin, get your yellow butt over here!!!
YOUNG QUILL: (quietly, staring down) I didn't even know we had a Marklin.
YONDU: Quill! While I'm dealing with this yellow krutacker, you go out and do what you do best!
YOUNG QUILL (mockingly) and YONDU: 'Crawl into all the little places we can't reach because you's scrawny and small enough.'
YOUNG QUILL: Yeah, I know. Orrr...you'll eat me. (rolls his eyes) Okay. Going.
YOUNG QUILL flicks on his mask, stepping out center stage onto an unfamiliar planet.
YOUNG QUILL: You gotta love that fresh, unbreathable toxic air. Mmm mm. That's the stuff. Love it. Thanks, Yondu! You're a great parental substitute! Ten out of ten! ....I miss--...ugh, whatever.
YOUNG QUILL turns on his walkman, slipping his headphones onto his head.
YOUNG QUILL and CREW: HAIL!  (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOUR HAIR - YEAAAH HAIL! (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOUR MIND AND YOUR SIGN? OH-OH-OH
YOUNG QUILL slides, a confident grin on his face under the mask, which he flicks off for an instant to show off....before coughing and then continuing the song.
YOUNG QUILL and CREW: HAIL! (HAIL!) NOTHIN' THE MATTER WITH YOUR HEAD BABY, FIND IT, COME ON AND FIND IT HAIL! WITH IT BABY, 'CAUSE YOU'RE FINE AND YOU'RE MINE AND YOU LOOK SO DIVINE...
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE!
YOUNG QUILL dances around for a few minutes before letting out a sigh, and calling YONDU on a wrist communicator device. YOUNG QUILL: Yondu, I'm not seeing anything!
YONDU: Keep lookin', boy! I know there's somethin' out there! Wouldn't send you out for nothin'!
YOUNG QUILL sighs before turning off the communicator. He looks off into the distance, daydreaming.
YOUNG QUILL: I can't wait for the day I'm old enough to not have to listen to this. I'm going to be super cool. Like Han Solo, but better.
QUILL steps on stage as a spotlight shines on him stage right, a triumphant grin on his face.
YOUNG QUILL: I'm going to be suave!
QUILL winks, pointing fingerguns at the audience.
YOUNG QUILL: Cool!
QUILL smooths his hair back, trying to look as cool as possible.
YOUNG QUILL: Capable!
QUILL pulls a small tracking device out of his pocket, staring at it intently as if he knows everything.
YOUNG QUILL: ....Honestly I'm probably really overestimating myself.
QUILL pauses, and puts his hand over his heart in an 'emotionally wounded' gesture, looking at YOUNG QUILL with a surprised frown.
QUILL: Wow, rude.
Both QUILL and YOUNG QUILL look at each other and shrug.
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: HAIL! (HAIL!) WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH YOU? FEEL RIGHT
QUILL: DON'T YOU FEEL RIGHT, BABY?
QUILL and YOUNG QUILL: HAIL! (OH, YEAH!) GET IT FROM THE MAIN VINE, ALRIGHT! I SAID-A FIND IT (FIND IT) GO ON AND LOVE IT IF YOU LIKE IT (YEAH!) HAIL! (HAIL!) IT'S YOUR BUSINESS IF YOU WANT SOME, TAKE SOME
YOUNG QUILL: GET IT TOGETHER, BABY!
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! COME AND GET YOUR LOVE! YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!
At this point, a group of MEN WITH GUNS have stepped on stage. YOUNG QUILL and QUILL are still dancing, oblivious to this. They approach AN ORB on a pedistal. QUILL picks it up first, stares at it, shrugs, and hands it to YOUNG QUILL. YOUNG QUILL blinks, taking it, tossing it up and down in his hands, then shrugs again and gives it back to QUILL.
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE (COME AND GET YOUR LOVE)
ALL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE NOW!
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: COME AND GET YOUR LOVE!
They turn, and strike identical poses until a MAN WITH GUN pokes QUILL in the back with his gun.
MAN WITH GUN: Are you about done?
QUILL: Hang on. The audience is still applauding. (blows kisses towards audience) Thank you! Thank you! I'll be here all week! Try the veal!
MAN WITH GUN: ....Who are you even talking to?
QUILL: (blinks in confusion, motions to audience) There's a....you know what, forget it. What's up, why the, uh...friendly greeting, fellas?
MAN WITH GUN: Drop the orb! Now!
QUILL: (drops the orb) Hey, hey, you got it, man! No need to get hostile, I'm just a junker!
MAN WITH GUN: You're wearing Ravager garb!
QUILL: ....Wh--this old thing? I got this at an intergalactic flea market, it was a steal. (beat) Literally. I stole it. I don't know what you're talking about!
MAN WITH GUN: You're lying!
YOUNG QUILL: Waitwaitwait! You're supposed to fear me! I mean, you will, when you hear my name! Because I'm the legendary...
YOUNG QUILL and QUILL: Star-Lord!
There is an abrupt silence as the MEN WITH GUNS all look confused.
MAN WITH GUN: ...Who?
Another silence. YOUNG QUILL slowly pats QUILL on the back.
YOUNG QUILL: Well. I've done all I can do. You're on your own, me.
YOUNG QUILL exits stage right. QUILL is left alone with the MEN WITH GUNS.
QUILL: (dejected mumbling) ....You're the worst, young me.
The MEN WITH GUNS cock their guns. QUILL not-so-subtly picks up the ORB from the ground, looks around, and begins to hum a tune, attempting to shuffle off stage.
MAN WITH GUN: ...He's getting away! After him!
QUILL: Uh! GOTTA EAT TO LIVE, GOTTA STEAL TO EAT OTHERWISE WE'D GET ALONG!
MEN WITH GUNS: WRONG!
QUILL: D'ast, I didn't think they'd know how to respond to that!!! Plan B!
He bolts off-stage. The men with guns follow in pursuit. The lights dim, then slowly rise. There is a man center-stage surrounded by WORSHIPPERS. This man is RONAN THE ACCUSOR. Music slowly swells up as worshippers bow at his feet.
WORSHIPPERS: WELCOME TO YOUR LIFE THERE'S NO TURNING BACK EVEN WHILE WE SLEEP WE WILL FIND YOU ACTING ON YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR TURN YOUR BACK ON MOTHER NATURE
RONAN: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
RONAN hits the end of his hammer against the ground lightly.
RONAN: They've called me a madman. A zealot. A dangerous criminal. Yet they - and the rest of the galaxy - have done worse. We Kree are powerful. Remorseless. But because we are simply right, we are shamed. And that is how I am no longer Ronan. I am Ronan...the Accusor. I have no choice, however. The only man to trust me, is Thanos...with his two daughters. Nebula! Gamora! Come!
Two women walk on stage. One woman is green-skinned, and doesn't bother to look RONAN or his WORSHIPPERS in the eye, seeming to try to deliberately avoid their gaze. This woman is GAMORA. Across from her is her sister, NEBULA, who is blue with cybernetic implants. She sneers at the WORSHIPPERS and RONAN disgustedly.
NEBULA: IT'S MY OWN DESIGN
GAMORA: IT'S MY OWN REMORSE
RONAN: HELP ME TO DECIDE HELP ME MAKE THE MOST
GAMORA: OF FREEDOM
NEBULA: AND OF PLEASURE
GAMORA: NOTHING EVER LASTS FOREVER
WORSHIPPERS: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
NEBULA lets out an annoyed huff, as GAMORA glances at her.
NEBULA: I do not believe we came here simply to be backup for your shoddy musical numbers, Ronan. What is required of us?
RONAN: You shall be tracking down an orb that is beyond powerful, for it contains a mystical, powerful infinity stone. It is in the possession of someone else based on hearsay, and Thanos wishes to have it.
NEBULA: Ah. I shall not let father dow--
RONAN: By 'you' I meant Gamora.
NEBULA freezes, and slowly glares at GAMORA, who shrugs. NEBULA stares at her for a few seconds, before sighing.
NEBULA: And I suppose I just sit here and look pretty?
Beat.
RONAN: ....You're pretty?
GAMORA barely resists laughing. NEBULA growls.
NEBULA: Mark my words, sister. One day it shall be I that is sent to do these jobs for father. I shall be his favorite. And you shall be nothing. Nothing to anyone.
GAMORA: I would never wish that upon you.
NEBULA: Then that is what makes you an idiot.
GAMORA: Perhaps.
NEBULA: I CAN'T STAND THIS INDECISION
GAMORA: MARRIED WITH A LACK OF VISION
WORSHIPPERS: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
RONAN: It does not matter who is the favorite child here. What matters is this - we are proving kree supremacy amongst the entire galaxy.
NEBULA: No, actually, I just want to one-up my dumb sister.
GAMORA: Neither of us are kree so neither of us care.
RONAN: (dejectedly) You could've...at least pretended.
NEBULA: SAY THAT YOU'LL NEVER, EVER NEED IT
RONAN: ONE HEADLINE, WHY BELIEVE IT? RONAN, NEBULA, and GAMORA: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
RONAN: And Gamora. Don't get any ideas to betray us horribly and lead us to a magnificent downfall while you'e out.
GAMORA: (flatly as if reading a script) Why would I ever do that. It is not as if I hate everything you are doing and hate you and also wish to kill this man who is not my father and actually killed my real parents. It is not weird calling him daddy at all. I do not want to kill him for that. Goodbye.
RONAN: (sincerely) Have a nice trip!
GAMORA: ALL FOR FREEDOM
NEBULA: AND FOR PLEASURE NOTHING EVER LASTS FOREVER
RONAN: EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD
Lights dim as music fades out. A voice speaks up while the stage is still not lit, and a spotlight shines into the audience.
ROCKET: They couldn't have paid me to watch this kind of stuff.
A cybernetic raccoon - in all actuality, a person with raccoon ears and a tail - rises from one of the back-row seats as a spotlight shines on him. This is ROCKET RACCOON, a bounty hunter.
ROCKET: I mean, if you'd enjoy yourself seeing stuff like that? I hate to say it, but there's something probably wrong with you. (laughs) But hey, hey. (moves through the audience, points out one) Look at Mr. Smiles over here. Where's your wife, old man? She's in the bathroom, that it? This is a packed house, buddy, don't try to lie to me. You're probably seeing that poor girl over there. (smirks at the girl) Y'know, you can do better. Make sure to give Rocket Raccoon a call if you want to walk a bit on the wild side, babe. (clicks his tongue and glances around) Wait, has anyone seen--talking tree, about yay high? Groot? Groot?!
GROOT, a talking tree, walks out from stage left.
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET: Ah--bw--the production of Hamilton down the street ain't got nothin' on us! I only got sick of it after hearing about it for the 60 millionth time! There's only so much you can do with humie history before it puts me to sleep! But we-- we have showstoppers, my friend. So don't go sneaking out to 'check what's going on'! You didn't even buy a ticket!
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET: ....HOW MANY UNITS DID THAT COST?!?!
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET: ....You ask before you buy these obnoxiously overpriced tickets, it's not--I don't care that you got two!  Now we've gotta make all that back! And it ain't gonna be easy!
Music begins to swell as Rocket storms on stage.
ROCKET: ....No. No. I'm not singing. Not right now. I've got priorities. We need to find a way to make that back--and fast.
ROCKET pulls out a strange device. He moves it around, and then gapes.
ROCKET: The Ravagers--they put this bounty out on this one humie, and it's...d'ast, Groot, if we could handle this, we could have enough units to set us for life! I'm talking the high life, my friend!
GROOT: I am Groot?
ROCKET: That actor is not that great and I have no idea why you'd want to meet him but he'd probably do it for even a fraction of the money we're about to walk into. Let's see, our target is...Peter Jason Quill.
A spotlight shines on QUILL, who walks through one of the aisles in the audience, tossing the ORB up and down in the palm of his hand. Music begins.
QUILL: TONIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE MYSELF A REAL GOOD TIME... I FEEL ALI-I-I-IVE....
GAMORA walks in from stage right, brandishing a sword.
GAMORA: AND THE WORLD, WE'LL TURN IT INSIDE OUT, YEAH..
GROOT: I AM GROOT I AM GRO-OO-OOT...
ROCKET: SO
ROCKET, GAMORA, QUILL, and GROOT see each other and cautiously all near center stage from their positions.
GAMORA: DON'T
ROCKET: STOP
QUILL: ME
GROOT: I AM GROOT
ROCKET: DON'T
GROOT: I AM GROOT
GAMORA: ME
QUILL: NOW CAUSE I'M--
GROOT: AM GROOT, I AM GROOT
GAMORA makes a lunge for QUILL, who barely dodges, letting out a little hiss.
QUILL: I'M A SHOOTING STAR LEAPING THROUGH THE SKY LIKE A TIGER, DEFYING THE LAWS OF GRAVITY
ROCKET makes another lunge for QUILL, but ends up falling over instead.
QUILL: I'M A RACING CAR PASSING BY, LIKE LADY GODIVA I'M GONNA GO GO GO, THERE'S NO STOPPING ME!
GROOT attempts to grab QUILL this time, but ends up grabbing GAMORA instead and fighting with her while ROCKET attempts to pick himself up.
QUILL: I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH! TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT! I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
Lights rise on the set, which is the city of XANDAR. Citizens are already passing by within it.
CITIZENS: I WANNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN OUTTA YOU! DON'T STOP ME NOW!
QUILL: I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME I'M HAVING A BALL
CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!
QUILL: IF YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME, JUST GIVE ME A CALL!
CITIZENS and QUILL: DON'T STOP ME NOW ('CAUSE I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME) DON'T STOP ME NOW (YES, I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME)
QUILL: I DON'T WANNA STOP AT ALL!
ROCKET has picked himself up and has readied his gun, a smirk on his face. QUILL notices, and immediately tries to bolt while ROCKET takes aim.
ROCKET: YEAH, I'M A ROCKET SHIP ON MY WAY TO MARS ON A COLLISON COURSE I AM A SATELLITE, I'M OUT OF CONTROL
GAMORA has already risen up next to QUILL after tossing GROOT aside. ROCKET messes up his aim and accidentally shoots GAMORA in the foot, and she falls into QUILL's arms.
QUILL: (flirtatiously) I'M A SEX MACHINE, READY TO RELOAD LIKE AN ATOM BOMB
GAMORA punches him, and ROCKET shoots him. He lets out a shriek and lands on the ground, but not before ROCKET shoots GAMORA as well.
ROCKET: ABOUT TO OH-OH-OH-OH EXPLODE! I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT! I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
CITIZENS: I'M GONNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC WOMAN OF YOU!
GAMORA, QUILL, and GROOT pick themselves up, and circle with ROCKET cautiously as they did before. They dive at each other, and continue fighting as NOVA CORPS are called in.
QUILL: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME
GAMORA: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, OOH, OOH, OOH
GROOT: I AM GROOT, I AM GROOT
ROCKET: DON'T STOP ME, DON'T STOP ME, OH YEAH!
They all forget temporarily that they're supposed to be fighting and start dancing instead, because they are idiots. QUILL begins air-guitaring and they all cheer.
GAMORA: I'M BURNING THROUGH THE SKY, YEAH!
ROCKET: TWO HUNDRED DEGREES, THAT'S WHY THEY CALL ME MISTER FAHRENHEIT!
QUILL: I'M TRAVELING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT!
GAMORA, ROCKET, and QUILL: I WANNA MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN
GROOT: I AM GROOT!
CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!
GAMORA: I'M HAVING SUCH A GOOD TIME, I'M HAVING A BALL
CITIZENS: DON'T STOP ME NOW!
ROCKET: IF YOU WANNA HAVE A GOOD TIME JUST GIVE ME A CALL!
CITIZENS and QUILL: DON'T STOP ME NOW ('CAUSE I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME) DON'T STOP ME NOW (YES, I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME)
QUILL: I DON'T WANNA STOP AT ALL... LA DA DA DA DA DA...
SAAL: This is the NOVA Corps!  You are under arrest! Put your weapons down and cease your dumb musical number!
The four slowly realize what they've been doing this entire time.
ROCKET: ...Aw, FLARK!
Stage lights shut off. They slowly turn on again, and ROCKET, GAMORA, and QUILL are in prison jumpsuits, with GROOT trailing after them.
QUILL: So let me get this straight. You two - Ranger Rick and Giving Tree over there - want me to hand over to the Ravagers. And you, attractive green woman who I probably have a crush on stemming from those weird times I watched too much Star Trek, you want the orb I've got because...your evil dad wants it? And thanks to that mess we got into at Xandar, we're all in jail now. The most high-security jail in the entire galaxy.
ROCKET: Pff. It ain't gonna be like I'm gonna be here for long. I've escaped more prisons than anyone in here has braincells. I'm gonna break out, and you're coming with me, because you're my meal ticket for the next good ten-to-twenty years. So about the rest of my life, give or take.
QUILL: As much as I appreciate the offer--
PRISONER 1 smirks at QUILL. ROCKET glances between the two, and snaps his fingers. GROOT immediately shoves PRISONER 1 away, looming over him intimidatingly.
ROCKET: Listen up, freaks! This one, right here - this is OUR booty! IF you want him, you go through us! Or more accurately, WE go through YOU! Ya got that?! There are mumbles of agreement from the various PRISONERS. ROCKET looks back at QUILL with a smirk.
ROCKET: You were saying?
QUILL: ....No comment.
ROCKET winks at him before QUILL shakes his head. During this conversation, a group of PRISONERS has stolen GAMORA. QUILL glances back to look for her, and realizes she's not there.
QUILL: Hang on, we're missing--!!
ROCKET: Wait. She's supposed to be the most dangerous woman in the galaxy, how did she let some common prisoners capture her so easily?
QUILL and ROCKET look at each other with a grimace.
QUILL: Plot convenience?
ROCKET: Plot convenience.
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET, QUILL, and GROOT make their way to the other side of the prison, where GAMORA is being held at knifepoint by a prisoner. A figure looms over the prisoner, and pushes him aside, taking his knife.
DRAX: Finally. What I've been waiting for my entire life...
QUILL: Wait, time out, that guy hasn't been introduced yet.
ROCKET: That's, uh, that's Drax. The Destroyer. He's been on a revenge quest ever since Ronan killed--
DRAX: My beautiful wife, and my innocent daughter!
ROCKET: ....Yeah. His favoite words are 'die', 'stab', and he's got a bit of an ego. Plus as much as I love fighting? This guy loves it even more. Which is really saying something.
DRAX: It helps fill a void.
ROCKET: I get'cha. (nod)
QUILL: Well, we've gotta save Gamora!
ROCKET: ...Uh. Why? She's kind of the daughter of one of the worst warloads of the entire galaxy and by all accounts she should probably be able to save herself because she's apparently the most dangerous woman in the galaxy unless that was total BS.
QUILL: Because she's hot!
ROCKET: That's debatable.
GROOT: I am Groot.
QUILL: See, he agrees.
ROCKET: No, he said you're shallow and pedantic.
QUILL: I don't even know the definition of the word.
DRAX and GAMORA exhange a glance as QUILL and ROCKET argue in the background.
DRAX: ....Honestly at this point I am debating as to whether it would be a greater punishment to leave you alive and trapped with them or to kill you. Either one seems very satisfying.
GAMORA: I'm dead inside either way so you know. Take your pick.
DRAX: I'm so sorry for you.
GAMORA: HEY! YOU TWO WANNA HELP ME, OR ANYTHING?!
ROCKET: NOT PARTICULARLY!
QUILL: Ah! Um! Hey!
DRAX turns around and looks at QUILL. QUILL freezes for a second.
QUILL: ...IF YOU LIKE PINA COLADAS AND GETTING CAUGHT IN THE RAIN IF YOU'RE NOT INTO HEALTH FOOD IF YOU HAVE HALF A BRAIN IF YOU LIKE MAKING LOVE AT MIDNIGHT IN THE DUNES OF THE CAPE YOU'RE THE LOVE THAT I'VE LOOKED FOR WRITE TO ME AND ESCAPE
DRAX: What.
QUILL abruptly jazz-hands. ROCKET facepalms. GAMORA simply stares. DRAX glances between GAMORA and QUILL.
DRAX: I've made up my mind. It is greater punishment to leave you alive. However, it leaves my killing urges unfufilled.
QUILL: I could always use a new murderous friend. And you're a name character, so you're clearly supposed to be part of the group in some way or fashion. How about it?
DRAX: .....Sure. Why not.
QUILL: Sweet. Okay, how are we getting out of here, though?
DRAX: Don't know. (looks at PRISONER 2) I like this knife. I'm keeping it.
PRISONER 2: (quietly) ....That was my favorite knife....
ROCKET, QUILL, GROOT, GAMORA, and DRAX walk back to the other side of the prison - stage right. Everyone stares at ROCKET.
ROCKET: ....Alright, I've got a plan. Quit giving me the eyes. I'm going to need you all to go along with it, and one of you to get me that prosthetic leg over there. I need it.
QUILL: Roger. What are you going to do?
ROCKET: Ahem. HEY, EVERYONE! I CAN'T STOP THIS FEELING DEEP INSIDE OF ME GIRL, YOU JUST DON'T REALIZE WHAT YOU DO TO ME WHEN YOU HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS SO TIGHT YOU LET ME KNOW EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT IIIIIIIIIIII'M
PRISONERS: HOOKED ON A FEELING!
ROCKET: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING
PRISONERS: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME!
QUILL: LIPS AS SWEET AS CANDY ITS TASTE IS ON MY MIND
DRAX: GIRL, YOU GOT ME THIRSTY FOR ANOTHER CUP OF WINE
GAMORA: GOT A BUG FROM YOU, GIRL BUT I DON'T NEED NO CURE
ROCKET: I'LL JUST STAY A VICTIM IF I CAN'T BE SURE!
QUILL darts off to get the leg. The rest of the future GUARDIANS continue the song.
ROCKET: ALL THE GOOD LOVE WHEN WE'RE ALL ALONE KEEP IT UP, GIRL YEAH, YOU TURN ME ON
GAMORA: IIIIIIIIIII'M
PRISONERS: HOOKED ON A FEELING!
GUARDIANS: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME
The PRISONERS continue dancing and singing as the GUARDIANS slowly make their way towards the exit. They'e stared at, and freeze.
ROCKET: Okay, now let's bring it down slow, folks.
GAMORA: ALL THE GOOD LOVE
DRAX: WHEN WE'RE ALL ALONE
QUILL: KEEP IT UP, GIRL
ROCKET: YEAH, YOU TURN ME ON
GROOT and PRISONERS: IIIIIIIIIIIII AM GROOT! ('M HOOKED ON A FEELING!)
DRAX: I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING
GAMORA: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME
ROCKET: I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING! AND I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING
QUILL: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME I SAID I'M HOOKED ON A FEELING! AND I'M HIGH ON BELIEVING
DRAX: THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME...
With the PRISONERS distracted, the GUARDIANS scurry out. The lights dim. The lights come back. Everyone is now on KNOWHERE.
GAMORA: So what was that back there?
ROCKET: That was the more classy version of a prison riot.
QUILL: Yeah, that's nice, but why did we need the leg?
ROCKET: Pff...snrk...because I thought it'd be funny! How did that guy look without his leg? Did he, like, try to dance on one leg?! (laughs)
QUILL: Dude, I paid him for that!
ROCKET laughs again. DRAX lets out a sigh.
DRAX: Explain to me where we are and what we are doing here.
QUILL: ...We literally told you on the way over.
DRAX: I was not listening. I was thinking of something else.
GAMORA: Okay. We're on Knowhere to sell the orb for a profit to my dealer, The Collector. He pays top dollar for anything weird and exotic.
DRAX: That's nice. Why do I care?
GAMORA: There's a bar?
DRAX: You have successfully gotten me to care again. Excellent job, green wench.
GAMORA: Could you not.
DRAX: I could not could not.
QUILL: Alright, both of you, knock it off. Drax, if you wanna check out the bar, it's over there.
DRAX: I want to and I will.
ROCKET: Count me in too.
QUILL: Okay, Groot?
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET: ....Yeah, okay, you can go watch that for a while.
GROOT: I am Groot.
ROCKET: What do you mean by 'I'll be there until Act 2'?!
GROOT walks offstage. ROCKET sighs, hanging his head. DRAX pats him on the back, and they go to have drinks, exiting stage left. QUILL and GAMORA are left alone.
QUILL: ....Sooooooo....
GAMORA: ....Yes?
QUILL: Well. I'm a yonug, attractive male lead, and you're--
GAMORA: No.
QUILL: But!
GAMORA: No. That is my final answer.
QUILL: Gamora. C'mon.
GAMORA stares at QUILL with a deadpan expression.
QUILL: I MUST'VE BEEN THROUGH A MILLION GIRLS I'D LOVE 'EM AND I'D LEAVE 'EM ALONE I DIDN'T CARE HOW MUCH THEY CRIED, NO SIR THEIR TEARS LEFT ME COLD AS A STONE BUT THEN I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE
QUILL and KNOWHERE CITIZENS: I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE
GAMORA: I'm into women.
The music abruptly stops with a record scratch noise.
QUILL: ...Oh.
GAMORA: So no, your pelvic sorcery will not work on me, Peter Quill.
QUILL: .....Okay, I need a love interest. We don't make money without a love interest. Um. Hm.
QUILL looks towards where GROOT left. Sighs.
QUILL: Okay. There are two choices for who my love interest could be at this point and they both make this play pretty progressive, honestly, so points to that. Let's see.
QUILL walks back into the bar and slides up to DRAX.
QUILL: IT USED TO BE WHEN I'D SEE A GIRL THAT I LIKED I'D GET OUT MY BOOK AND WRITE DOWN HER NAME BUT WHEN THE GRASS GOT A LITTLE GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE I'D JUST TEAR OUT THAT PAGE BUT THEN I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE
QUILL and KNOWHERE CITIZENS: I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE I FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE
DRAX: ...Quill.
QUILL: Yes?
DRAX: Leave me be.
QUILL: Okie-dokie. That's one out, there's....well. Okay.
QUILL slides up to ROCKET, who raises a brow.
QUILL: FREE ON MY OWN, THAT'S THE WAY I USED TO BE BUT SINCE I MET YOU BABY, LOVE'S GOT A HOLD ON ME!
ROCKET sits there stunned for a good couple of minutes, then looks at QUILL with utter confusion. QUILL smirks.
KNOWHERE CITIZENS and QUILL: (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) WHOO, IT'S GOT A HOLD ON ME NOW (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) I CAN'T LET GO OF YOU, BABY (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU NOW! (FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!) HEEEEEY!
QUILL drags ROCKET up and pulls him into a dance. ROCKET is still completely stunned.
QUILL: 'CAUSE I FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND, I FOOLED AROUND FOOLED AROUND AND FELL IN LOVE!
ROCKET: Uh, Quill?
QUILL: Yep?
ROCKET: You know what I am, right? What I look like here? Hi?
QUILL: I've slept with an Askavarian, do you really think I care that much?
ROCKET: Wait, seriously?
QUILL: Yep.
ROCKET: ....Well, this is marginally more acceptable since I don't look as weird as I could, I--
QUILL: (grinning) Yeah-huh?
ROCKET: ....No, wait, I'm a--I'm a flarking animal, Quill! Drax said as much! And I'm going to kill him for it!
DRAX: He is an annoyance who speaks of matters he knows nothing about.
ROCKET: He might be right but he's also an ass! I just--I'M GOING TO MURDER YOU!
QUILL: Rocket--ROCKET, HEY! HEY! TEN MILLION UNITS ROCKET! Work through this, and we'll all be rich, you're just--you're drunk.
ROCKET: Yeah, wonder why.
DRAX: Why does it even matter so much to you?
ROCKET: BECAUSE I DIDN'T ASK TO GET MADE! I DIDN'T ASK FOR ANYTHING! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE SOME CREEPY LITTLE BEAST!
QUILL: Rocket, you're not--
ROCKET: AND ALL OF YOU SIT THERE AND MAKE FUN OF ME! DRAX SAYS IT OUTRIGHT, QUILL JUST...MOCKS ME BY, I DON'T KNOW, FLIRTING WITH ME! GAMORA...GAMORA JUST LOOKS AT ME WEIRD!
GAMORA: I look at everyone weird.
ROCKET: BESIDE THE POINT! YOU'RE ALL ASSHOLES AND I CAN'T SAY I WON'T KILL ALL OF YOU WHEN THIS IS OVER!
CARINA approaches, her hands folded obediently as she looks around at everyone, and then stares down at the ORB intently.
CARINA: Pardon me, but--The Collector... would like to see you now.
ROCKET: Good. Great. Let's go. We're not taking Drax, he can sit and flarking stew, he doesn't want any money anyway.
The lights dim as ROCKET storms offstage, and everyone else exchanges glances and follows, apart from DRAX.
The lights raise on THE COLLECTOR'S LAIR. ROCKET, QUILL, and GAMORA enter. The COLLECTOR'S ASSISTANTS, identical-looking women step out from the other side of the stage and begin dancing. CARINA eyes up the orb as she stands in the middle
CARINA: WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD MEN GONE AND WHERE ARE ALL THE GODS? WHERE'S THE STREETWISE HERCULES TO FIGHT THE RISING ODDS? ISN'T THERE A WHITE KNIGHT UPON A FIERY STEED? LATE AT NIGHT I TOSS AND TURN AND I DREAM OF WHAT I NEED!
CARINA approaches QUILL, trying to make a grab for the ORB subtly. He looks at her, confused, until she continues.
CARINA: I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!
CARINA bats her eyelashes flirtatiously. QUILL grins. GAMORA shakes her head and ROCKET looks away, huffing.
CARINA: SOMEWHERE AFTER MIDNIGHT IN MY WILDEST FANTASY SOMEWHERE JUST BEYOND MY REACH THERE'S SOMEONE REACHING BACK FOR ME RACING ON THE THUNDER AND RISING WITH THE HEAT IT'S GONNA TAKE A SUPERMAN TO SWEEP ME OFF MY FEET!
COLLECTOR'S GIRLS: I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!
ROCKET: Would you all just flarking stop?! Where is your boss?!
CARINA: I do apologize. He appears to be...taking his time.
GAMORA: Great. Now can you quit with the little show you're putting on?
CARINA: UP WHERE THE MOUNTAINS MEET THE HEAVENS ABOVE OUT WHERE THE LIGHTNING SPLITS THE SEA I COULD SWEAR THERE WAS SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE WATCHING ME THROUGH THE WIND AND THE CHILL AND THE RAIN AND THE STORM AND THE FLOOD I CAN FEEL HIS APPROACH LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD!
COLLECTOR'S GIRLS: LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY BLOOD, LIKE A FIRE IN MY - AAAAH!
CARINA, COLLECTOR'S GIRLS and ROCKET (mockingly): I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!
THE COLLECTOR enters. He looks around, and sees the production going on.
THE COLLECTOR: Carina, what is this?!
CARINA: ...There's an infinity stone in that orb. Unlimited power. And I intend to...I intend to use it! I WILL NO LONGER BE YOUR SLAVE!
I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO UNTIL THE END OF THE NIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE STRONG AND HE'S GOTTA BE FAST AND HE'S GOTTA BE FRESH FROM THE FIGHT! I NEED A HERO! I'M HOLDING OUT FOR A HERO 'TIL THE MORNING LIGHT! HE'S GOTTA BE SURE AND HE'S GOTTA BE SOON AND HE'S GOTTA BE LARGER THAN LIFE!
CARINA snatches the ORB out of QUILL's hand and makes to open it.
QUILL: Wait, don't--!!!
ROCKET: Don't you dare--!!
GAMORA: Think about this!
CARINA looks at the three. Then at THE COLLECTOR.Then smiles.
CARINA: I NEED A HERO!!!!
She opens the orb. The room explodes internally. There's a flash of light, and then the stage lights dim as CARINA screams.

Sense and Sensitivity (ATS 1.06)
This is part of my ongoing Buffyverse Project, where I write notes/meta for every episode in an attempt to better understand the characters and themes of the shows. You can find the BTVS list here and the ATS list here. Gifs are not mine.
Tumblr media
There’s so much that I love about Sense and Sensitivity--it has some dorky Angel comedy gold and it’s the episode that made me adore Kate Lockley. It’s just a good watch. Not sure if that’s a popular opinion or not but...oh well.
We get quite a bit of information on Kate this episode. Namely her relationship with her father and how that informs her issues with opening up and the anger she’s toting around (she has to be pulled out of an interrogation for getting violent with a suspect). Her father is such an ass and it’s especially annoying because he reminds me of mine. We’ve quit speaking altogether--gotta admire Kate for continuing to try despite continual rejection. 
Cordelia: You want to know what I think?  I think he uses his tortured creature of the night status as a license to be rude and insensitive! 
Have to agree with Doyle that’s it’s pretty ironic Cordy is criticizing Angel for being insensitive. I do think he’s not all that practiced at human interaction. Keeping his feelings locked down and remaining aloof are kind of a survival skill for him. This is the first episode we really get to see a more human side of Angel--beginning with his disguise as Herb Saunders. That was amazing. 
Tony:  You've – you’ve been running after me for a long time, haven't you sweetheart?  If I'd know how bad you wanted me, I might have let you catch me a little sooner.
Kate:  If I'd know how badly you needed the exercise, I might have let you run a little longer.
Well that was just a gross exchange. Wolfram & Hart are representing Little Tony, the guy Kate is trying to catch. They plan to make Kate the “Mark Fuhrman” of the case and win Tony’s freedom (look who recently watched American Crime: The People vs. OJ Simpson and actually knows who that is!). Sensitivity training is ordered for the cops but it’s being controlled by W&H and...oh, god. I really don’t want to call him Mr. Magic Stick but I can’t remember his name.  Oh! It’s Allen. 
Kate: Why do you do that? Pretend important things don’t matter?
So let’s take a moment to talk about Mr. Ass Lockley. He pretty much pretends Kate doesn’t exist and makes her feel inadequate as he spends time with the other cops and not her. I feel like there might be some gendered BS going on here. He also suggests she might be a lesbian because she hasn’t gone on many dates (embarrassing her in front of Angel).
Kate: Now the old man would like us to believe that he couldn't care less about all this attention and free booze. But I know him better than that.  He put a lot of years in on the job, and he made a difference in a lot of lives. And now it's over.  That's a huge deal, no matter what he says.  In fact I'm not really sure if he knows what he's going to do with himself.  He forgot how to be anything but a cop a long time ago.  And maybe, - maybe that's why I became a cop too.  -  After mom died, you stopped , you know?  It was like you couldn't stand the sight of me.  Her face, her eyes looking up at you.  -  But big girls don't cry, right?  You said, gone's gone, and there’s no use wallowing.  - Worms and dirt and nothing, forever.  Not one word about a better place.  You couldn't even tell a scared little girl a beautiful lie. God, I wanted to drink with you.  I wanted you to laugh with me just once, the way you laughed with Jimmy here, or Frank.
Wow was that awkward. And so sad...especially with her father’s line at the end of the episode about never bringing it up again because she embarrassed herself. Being honest didn’t get her anywhere with him. I wonder what he would say if he’d had the sensitivity training?
Kate:  My best friend Joanne, her mom was soft, and she smelled like macaroni and cheese, and she'd pick me up on her lap and she would rock me.  She said that she wanted to keep me to herself.  -  She said that I was good and sweet.  Everybody said I was.  -  Do you realize that you’ve never told me that I'm pretty?  Not once in my life?
Everyone at the party gets overly emotional. Angel drags Kate back to AI, where she embarrasses Cordelia by bringing up Doyle’s feelings for her--something she’s been trying hard to ignore. I have to say I’m not sure how I feel about the whole Doyle/Cordelia arc. On the positive side I get that part of Cordelia’s journey is learning to be less snobby and see past appearances and money. But on the negative I don’t love the idea that Doyle can “win” Cordelia if he just continues to push despite her lack of interest (or the nice guy overtones where he’s clearly the best but all she wants is looks and money). 
Angel:  My parents were great. Tasted a lot like chicken. 
There’s such complexity to Angel that I feel like we never really explore. We spend a lot of time on the idea of Angel vs. Angelus and how separate they are, but in my opinion not enough on the darker parts of Angel that manifest in Angelus. I’m excited for my meta on how they’re connected. He’ll say these throwaway lines that reveal he still harbors rage and isn’t as remorseful as he appears (”Beautiful...dumb as a post, but...”, “Tasted a lot like chicken.”)
Cordelia:  Right now.  It's time for you to get all vampy - grr!  -  Kate needs you.
Angel:  I don't want to.  You both withdraw when I go vamp.  I feel you judge me.
I loved sensitive Angel. I also enjoyed the scenes with the cops trying to understand the people in jail and the complexity of how people end up where they are. Everyone has their reasons but it isn’t always productive to worry about them. Angel takes down Little Tony and Wolfram & Hart drop him as a client. Some exposure is too much for even the worst best lawyers. 
Angel:  You know, Anthony you could be a rainbow and not a painbow. 
Character Notes:
Kate Lockley: Her father calls her Katie. Angel tells her to picture the public in their underwear during her speech and she seems to be thinking of him in particular. 
Angel: He calls Cordelia precious when under the sensitivity spell.
Allen Francis Doyle: Cordelia is upset Angel hasn’t noticed her new shoes, which Doyle notices immediately. But to be fair Doyle pays a lot of extra attention to Cordelia.

How much would insurance be for a 16 year old in GA?
I'm 16, I own a 2005 Chevrolet Cavalier LS Sport- 2 door, live in Athens, GA, drive less than 7,000 miles annually, drive to and from work and school 5 days a week... haha. I just want to know how much it would be monthly for car insurance on any of the companies. Any help would be appreciated. :)""
Why does car insurance rates increase if you have a lapse in coverage?
For example, lets say I have car insurance and pay it on a timely matter and then all of a sudden I move to city where there is a lot of public transportation and my car breaks down. So, instead of worrying about my car I utilize the bus system as I cannot afford to have my car fixed, in turn I cancel my car insurance. Hypothetically lets say a couple months down the road I have a change of heart and am able to afford the repairs for my car. So now my car is up and running etc etc. Why is it that now when I sign up for insurance again my rates will be higher. My situation is that I have a vehicle but it is a lot older and it is broken down right now. It is going to be a few months before I can get it fixed. So, I thought of canceling my insurance bc I was wondering why should I pay insurance for something I am not driving. I, then, told my agent that once i got it fixed i would add the insurance back, he then told me what the consequences of my actions would be. Why do my rates go higher just bc I get rid of the insurance? It's not like I am doing anything illegal. I would not be driving the car bc it is broke down.""

Is the issue access to good health insurance or is it access to good healthcare?
Ok first order of business I know how the whole health care issue is being made into this big complicated monstrosity. I would llike to get people's input on this and maybe some insight into better understanding a way ahead. First let me say that my question is not based on politics I'm not representing democrats or republicans as a matter of fact politics and money is what is frustrating me with this entire health care issue. I hear about all of this debating and I want to ask what is the real issue that everyone cares about correct me if I am wrong but I think it is access to dependable and reputable healthcare. The next issue I have, Is it wise to put health care interests in the hands of for profit enterprise. Now this is not an attack on health insurance companies but it is a question to the average person. I have read countless stories of people who thought they had good insurance for years all of the sudden they get sick the insurance pays the lowest possible cost and then cancels their coverage. Or here is another example, former health insurance employees tell of how draconian the companies are that they have worked for when it comes paying for coverage they would rather cancel people's policy. I am forced to wonder how long will it be before doctor's and nurses will be required to have an M.B.A. as a prerequisite for practicing medicine. I am all for free enterprise but something just does not sound right when you have an entire industry based on the soaring cost of healthcare and people's inability to pay for it. Seems that you are at the mercy of your insurance company at the time that you need them most. It seems that access to healthcare has been debated and put on the back burner for over 50 years combined with the fact that the people making the decisions regarding healthcare access rarely have to concern themselves with access to healthcare for themselves or their families, I'm just wondering how much longer is this cycle going to continue before something tangible gets done. I'm not saying healthcare should be totally free. I'm not saying that healthcare costs should destroy the middle class either. I definitely think that a for profit company priorities are to make a profit and answer to stockholders where does the patient come in on this equation. Does anybody out there have any viable solution or are we doomed to keep repeating the same mistake over and over again where the bottomline seems to be when all is said and done when it comes to healthcare access you have to fend for yourself.""

I have this elderly friend whose kids and grandkids require her financial help.

Then she adds these cars to her insurance policy and gives them to these people to drive. She's in a huge financial bind, and I'm worried she's going to get into legal trouble on top of her financial problems. She can't afford to insure the people driving the cars because of their driving records and credit history. Is this legal? Insuring the vehicles without insuring the drivers?

My car no longer runs. Should I cancel my insurance on it?
My friend suggestted that it might not be wise, because when I get another car in 5 months they will charge me more for insurance if I was not insured for a long period of time. His logic was that it's a red flag to insurance co. They think you were driving without insurance or totaled your car. Even though my car just died on it's own.""

Can my ex-wife insure our kids through her husbands insurance?
My ex-wife is required to carry our kids insurance. She switched jobs and is now insuring kids under her husband. My only concern is, if he decides to leave her or gets pissed off he can drop my kids from insurance. Since he is not legally obligated to insure them. He is not adopting them. He is not legally bound to take care of them. Is my concern valid?""

Why is insurance so high on dodge charger for a 18 year old?
Do you think car insurance should be mandatory in all of the United States?
I live in Wisconsin. Car insurance is not required for cars trucks and anything else on the road. I think this is wrong with medical and car repair bills being so expensive these days. Worst part about it is some of these non insured people drive like lunatics and if they do hit you they have nothing to even sue them for. I think it's disgusting.

Which will cost more to insure? 00-04 mustang base or 00-04 mustang gt?
I'm 17 and live in New York. Been driving with a clean record for one year and I currently pay $100/month on my mom's '10 camry. I want to get my own car and I have narrowed everything down to a mustang, but I can't decide between a base model or a gt. I have discounts on my current policy such as good student and drivers ed. I will also take a defensive driving course for an added discount and the new car will also bring about a multi-car policy discount which will be helpful. My mom will be contributing the same $100 towards the car as she is now and the rest I have to pay for by myself. I have heard that the base and gt will cost about the same to insure, but that doesn't seem right considering that the gt has 100+hp more than the base, but people have supported that by saying the base models are involved in more crashes among young drivers. So can anybody set the record straight for me? Please don't give me responses saying that only my insurance agent can tell me that or too high for you to afford. Also would it be a wise decision to drop collision coverage for a huge insurance discount? I don't plan on racing this car.""

Car insurance for a new driver aged 21?
hi, im really close to taking my driving test, and i will be 19 when i hopefully pass. but i know that i would be unable to afford car insurance just yet! however, i would be hoping to maybe get a car when i am round about 21 or 22, as i will hopefully be in a more of a position to buy and run a car! however i was wondering if you could give me a rough ESTIMATE on how much the insurance would cost! i would be looking at getting a car such as a Nissan Micra, and would more than likely get a 1.0 litre! if you could give me an ESTIMATE on how much it could cost, so i can get a general idea! i know its hard to give an exact price, but lets just say the car is all safe and has been MOT'd and is being parked in a garage! hope you can all help, oh and its for a MALE!""
