A quick post vol.3 sketch of rocket and two of his many raccoon babies <3
I’ve seen vol.3 twice in the last 3 days and I can safely say it is one of my favorite movies ever

Selfship questions from @salsflore! This is a spectacular idea, and I really think it would be awesome if this format of questions became a trend as opposed to ask games (those are fun and all, but I never get questions 😭). So yeah thanks for making this it’s a great idea!!
I’ll answer for my GOTG selfships because I haven’t stopped thinking about them since the new movie came out 😵‍💫
Also tagging @4i-i0v3-y0u because we talk about GOTG often :)
For context, Rocket and Drax are romantic F/Os, Peter, Groot sr, Mantis, Nebula and Gamora are Platonic F/Os, and Groot jr is a familial F/O. Also I have a silly little crush on Yondu 🤫 so when asked about “them” I’ll usually talk about Rocket or Drax, but sometimes the others too
Tumblr media
what’s something you do to feel closer to them? fanfics, listen to songs, etc.
I love watching the Guardians of the Galaxy movies! I also enjoy watching MVs on YouTube. This is my favorite!
how did you get introduced to your f/o and/or their media? do you like their source?
My brother is a huge fan of Marvel. A couple of years ago, over the summer, he made me watch all the movies with him. I wasn’t too big of a fan of the other ones, but I really really loved the guardians :) there’s actually kind of a funny story about how I got introduced to my F/Os— when I first watched the movie, Rocket was my favorite character, but I knew if I told my family that they would make fun of me, so I instead told everyone Drax was my favorite (he’s actually my SECOND favorite lol) and I’m just now starting to let myself love Rocket :,)
what’s one or two things you especially like about your f/o? can be a headcanon!
I love how creative and smart Rocket is :) he loves to build things and invent new weapons and machines, and I think it’s really cool!
I really really love that Drax is so honest— it may annoy our friends sometimes, but he really likes me and isn’t shy about saying it.
Peter is very affectionate and loves to give hugs!! He and I are really good friends (we’ve known each other since even before the Kyln) so it’s nice to have someone who really knows me.
what’s one or two things your f/os love about you? ( self positivity time babey )
I know Rocket really loves my smile :) my S/I is less angst ridden than the rest of the team, so he’s often the one to keep everyone’s spirits up, and Rocket really appreciates the positivity.
how do you express your love to them? how do they express their love to you?
I express my love to my F/Os by being there for them. There are some things I won’t ever understand, or be able to help with, and that’s okay. But I can be a listening ear if they ever feel like opening up.
My F/Os show their love by caring for me. My S/I is the type to prioritize everyone else first, so they help me out by taking care of me when I need it. We usually make our own food (it’s hard to cook for so many different species with different nutritional needs) but when I feel burned out or particularly morose, Drax cooks for me.
a gift you’d like to give them if you could, and something they’d give to you!
Rocket’s flight suit is obviously good for flying a spaceship and fighting people, but it doesn’t look very comfy (especially for the cybernetics on his back) so I think I would give him some more comfortable clothes to wear. Early on in our relationship I think I would be wayyy to embarrassed for such a grand gesture (spending money is a big deal) so I would just give him one of my shirts. Rocket absolutely loves it.
Omg me and Clyde were literally kinda talking about this earlier but basically Rocket would totally collect a whole bunch of pretty things (shiny rocks, stolen jewelry, etc) and give them as gifts to me.
what do you celebrate together? like halloween, christmas time, easter, etc.
We all celebrate Christmas together! Of course the first time was on Knowhere, much after Vol2 and Endgame and stuff, but it’s become a tradition ever since.
do you sleep together? is it peaceful or filled with snoring? do you both stay up? tell us more! ( how you sleep, when you sleep, do you wake up at the same time? )
Drax has his own bed because he can’t stand sleeping with other people (it’s the sensory processing disorder) but me and Rocket sleep together sometimes :)
Rocket’s sleep schedule is really weird because he’s meant to be nocturnal— he doesn’t sleep much at night, and takes a lot of naps in the daytime. He either snuggles with me anyway, just enjoying the closeness, or stays up building something.
When we lived on the Milano, and Groot was still a baby, he would sometimes come sleep with us (or just me) too if he had a nightmare.
Drax always wakes up earlier than me. Once we start living together in Knowhere, he gets into a habit of cooking breakfast for us all.
what’s one thing you can’t do well that the other can, vice versa ( e.g cooking, playing video games, so on and so forth )
One thing I’m not good at is cooking 😭 I’m bad at managing time, so things tend to end up burned or undercooked. Drax is really good at cooking, though!
And with something I can do well— Rocket isn’t good at writing. Numbers are easy because they’re a lot of sharp lines, but letters that curve and are kind of round (like “s” or “o”) are really difficult. It’s because his hands aren’t very good at holding the pencil, so he’s embarrassed about this, and avoids writing whenever possible. I really enjoy things like fancy lettering, painting, and drawing. It’s one of my hobbies :)
do you have similar tastes in fashion? aesthetic? food? tell us about their taste!
We Guardians kind of wear the same clothing (there’s not much range in the space junker business) but I like pretty things a lot. When not on a job, I like to wear a lot of accessories. As for food— I love all kinds of food. Literally anything.
Rocket doesn’t have a lot of options when it comes to clothes, so he just wears what he can find. He loves eating fresh foods, like fruits and seafood.
Drax’s fashion sense is complicated. Comfort takes priority, but he also is picky with colors. His species sees more colors than the human eye can pick up (hc). His taste in food is simple: he loves things with a lot of flavor, especially meat. You ever watched Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives? That kinda stuff.
how do they tend to comfort you? how do you tend to comfort them?
Everyone knows I love hugs. Drax is so strong and he gives the best hugs 😭 Rocket and I like to cuddle, and he also makes me feel better by making me laugh :) Groot is also really sweet, he and I could talk for hours.
I mostly comfort my loves with reassurance. “It’s not your fault” is a big one, both for Rocket and Drax, and Groot often needs reassurance because he feels like he’s not as good as Groot sr.
if you have a rival or nemesis f/o, why? are there any lore reasons or is it just because?
Obviously all the bad guys we’ve fought (Ronan, Ego, Thanos, the High Evolutionary), but in a more lighthearted sense, I don’t really get along well with the avengers. No real reason, I just don’t like them.
what are some uncommon headcanons you have for them?
I’m not quite sure if these are uncommon or not haha— I headcanon that Rocket likes to play video games. He got into it because Groot wanted someone to play with, and of course it was a lot of fun. I also headcanon that Rocket is hard of hearing from being too close to explosions and gunfire all his life. I headcanon Peter suffered some type of disordered eating growing up because he was always afraid that if he got too big to fit into small spaces to steal things, the Ravagers would kill him. I also headcanon that Peter has synthesia, which is why he loves music so much, but also doesn’t often listen to it when he works— it’s distracting.
what is your favorite fan theory/headcanon about them?
My favorite about Rocket is just about him being a dad to little Groot. Of course it’s practically canon, but it’s really sweet
if you live together, how’s domestic life like for you both?
We live together on Knowhere once it becomes the Guardians of the Galaxy HQ. I think this is my favorite part of our story, it’s so sweet :) that kind of life takes some adjusting to, but it’s really what we’ve all always wanted. (Post vol3) Drax gets to be a loving father figure to the children rescued from the HE, and after finding a home with the Guardians and leading a decade or so of an action-packed life, Rocket really just wants to rest. So he does. And for me, ever since I was young, all I’ve ever wanted is to love and be loved. We keep in contact with our friends and they visit often, of course.
do you have any scent hcs for them? ( sweet, something like coffee, etc )
Unpopular opinion, I think Rocket smells a lot like soap. He washes his hands often, and is kind of a clean freak tbh.
is there anything commonly misunderstood about your f/o?
I kind of like the fandom’s current interpretation of Rocket. My only complaint is that sometimes people portray him as a womanizer, when that’s not him at all.
one thing you don’t have in common, and one thing you do
One thing we don’t have in common is probably, for lack of a better word, toughness? Rocket has no hesitation when he needs to kill someone, but my S/I had a breakdown every freaking time. One thing we do have in common is the deep and profound loneliness and desire to be understood.
how do you resolve conflicts? how do you both typically react when faced with conflict or whilst dealing with an argument?
We don’t heavily disagree on anything important (like morals and ethics and stuff) so conflict is usually pretty surface level annoyance. Sometimes Drax is too loud, or says something mean on accident, or Rocket is having a bad day and snaps at us, or i feel too low energy to get stuff done, etc… usually the solution is to just spend some time away from each other to cool down and feel better. Sometimes an apology is needed, sometimes it’s just mutually understood.
have you met their friends/family? how did that go? do they even keep in contact with their friends/family?
I never met batch 89, or Drax’s late wife and daughter— but I have met Ego! And Thanos! 👍 neither of those went very well. Oh I also met Yondu and the rest of the Ravagers a few times, and Peter considers them family— there was some conflict before, but Yondu was a good friend to us. Also i thought he was kinda hot but don’t tell Peter.
tell us as much (or as little) as you'd like about any of your self ship lore/bg! the timeline!
I’m actually planning on making a timeline post soon!
if they have variations (timelines, skills, voiced languages, etc) which one is your favorite?
The biggest variations are probably their comic book vs movie characters, and while I’ve read a few of the old comics that feature the Guardians, I prefer my F/Os movie versions.
your favorite outfit/costume of theirs! if they don’t have any official skins or anything, show us something you think they’d look good in!
Rocket’s suit in the first Guardians of the Galaxy (the orange one) has a special place in my heart :3 but I also like how he looks in the Kyln’s prison outfit lol— yellow is my favorite color. As for Drax, I really really like his sleeveless shirt outfit in GOTG 3 :D
who confessed first and how did it go?
I confessed first to Drax, I’d say it went well because we ended up dating lmao. Then a little bit later Rocket realized that his feelings for me were more than platonic, but it still took him a long time to find the courage to tell me haha
did anyone know about your f/o’s feelings before they confessed? how did they find out?
Just little Groot. He and Rocket are besties, they tell each other everything.
if you have multiple f/os, do they fit into any “type?” ( e.g coincidentally they’re all smartasses, blonde, villains, etc. lol )
Kind of! Drax and Rocket aren’t very similar, but the common ground is Yondu (a crush of mine) who has a similar personality to Rocket and looks kind of like Drax (bald).
do you have any favorite scenarios you like to imagine your f/os in? ( domestic fluff, angsty, etc. )
I love hurt/comfort!!!!! I’ll get injured in battle and my F/Os will nurse me back to health!! Rocket will experience the emotional turmoil of having to fight a past abuser immediately after having a near death experience and seeing batch 89 in the sky and i’ll be there to help him through it!!!
have you ever thought about ( platonic or not ) marriage? would you consider it a good idea? why or why not?
Yeah :) I would 100% want to get married to both my romantic F/Os, especially Drax. He would be so excited about it! Me and Rocket are kind of just having fun, but it means a lot to him. All our friends would be there, too!
^ if you're planning to get married, then tell us all about your wedding! the honeymoon! the planning!
The wedding wouldn’t be too fancy, just one of the nicer buildings on Knowhere. Nebula, surprisingly, would offer to help plan. She’s very good at things like that. Everyone would be there (maybe Gamora would even swing by) and there’d be lots of good food and drinks. For a honeymoon, we’d probably go to one of the planets less involved in interplanetary crime— ooh, I bet Xandar has some nice vacation places :) we might even get a discount for saving the Galaxy haha.
if you live together, how does your home look like? who decided on the decor?
Knowhere is known for being more functional than pretty, but I just love making things look nice— Drax and Rocket don’t mind if I handle the decor, as long as it’s not too crazy, so I get to put in carpets and nice lighting and stuff! I enjoy paintings of landscapes, since Knowhere doesn’t really have any natural beauty. It’s very colorful.
do you, or plan to, have f/o kids? ( pets and plants count! ) bonus: if you have pets, do they show any favoritism?
Groot is our kid, but he’s pretty much grown up after vol3– we all want kids, but adoption is a big decision. I suppose we could have pets, but Rocket feels kind of weird about having a “lower life form” around.
what was it like when they first said ‘i love you’? how did you reply? where was it?
Drax first said I love you maybe a month after we started living on the Milano as a team. I was super flustered— obviously he meant it, he’s a terrible liar. I said it back, but I was a little embarrassed haha.
When Rocket first said I love you, it was late at night, and he and I were hanging out eating a midnight snack because he couldn’t sleep. We were both dead tired but Rocket was having nightmares and I didn’t want to leave him alone. This was a couple months after Vol2, and we hadn’t even started dating yet.
if you could make one thing 100% canon about them, what would it be?
It’s already implied in very few scenes, but I think it would be more realistic if Rocket’s cybernetics were more of a problem to him. In my canon, he has chronic pain and nerve damage from the surgeries, and needs to take special care to upkeep his metal parts.
how do you kill time with them when bored?
Drax loves to tell stories. I love listening to him. He also tries to tell jokes, which are pretty funny.
Rocket also talks a lot, but he likes to be doing something while we talk. When he and I have down time, he works on his inventions while I just lie down and we talk.
your favorite thing about your f/o, appearance wise
I love Rocket’s eyes 👁️👁️ they r so pretty I love brown eyes— also I like that Drax is taller than me lol. And I like Yondu’s mouth. His teeth are all messed up, but I like how he whistles and grins all pointy >:3 yk?
your favorite thing about your f/o, non-appearance wise
I love how deeply Rocket loves. He cares for his friends so much, it’s beautiful.
This was kind of touched on by Mantis in vol3, but I love Drax’s positivity despite everything he’s gone through.
what’s your dynamic like? any tropes you fit?
“Silly fella that absolutely no one is intimidated by” (me) x “built like a brick shithouse, his name is literally ‘the destroyer’” (Drax)
“Loves the other so deeply, profoundly, and unconditionally” (me) x “thinks he is undeserving of love”
In terms of tropes that actually exist? Probably “sunshine x grumpy” and “best friends to lovers”
the most iconic/memed on/quoted line or event associated with your f/o
For Drax, the one I appreciate most is “nothing goes over my head… my reflexes are too fast, I would catch it.” And for Rocket, probably when he was telling little Groot how to set up the batteries to explode lol.
who’s more likely to be the sappy, cheesy romantic in the relationship?
Me ❤️
who gets flustered the easiest?
Omg Rocket does haha— he doesn’t get compliments often, so whenever I voice how much I love him and what exactly I like about him he kind of doesn’t know what to say. He also things I’m handsome :3
if you were in an emergency or stressful situation, which one of you’s the best at staying level headed keeping the other calm? who is the one absolutely freaking out?
We have emergency situations a lot, so it kind of depends. When threatened, Drax automatically goes into fight or flight (always fight, for him), and I usually try to find a peaceful way out of the situation. Rocket is almost always very good at keeping his cool in high-stakes battles, but some things throw him off.
what nicknames do you call each other?
My nicknames for Rocket: Rocky, love
Rockets nicknames for me: (embarrassing as fuck so only teasingly and in private, but—) Boo
My nicknames for Drax: Honey
Drax’s nicknames for me: none, he doesn’t really get them lol
with phones or modern au : what would your contact names be?
In my phone: Rocket 🚀 and Drax🗡️
But they just have boring old names in their contact list lol
with phones or modern au : how do they use their phone? do they have a billion screenshots in their gallery? whats their wallpaper?
Rocket: has a few apps that Groot used to play games (now he plays them too lol), his wallpaper is a photo of all of the guardians
Drax: his phone is default settings for the wallpaper, ringtone, etc— hasn’t downloaded any apps either. He uses his phone mainly for taking thousands of pictures. Mostly of the stars, and other things he finds pretty, but we’re also in there :)
favorite memory involving them ( whether in your lore as a scenario, a scene from their media, or another physical experience like when you received merch etc )
Irl, my favorite memory is seeing GOTG vol3 in the movie theater :D but in universe, my favorite memory is just any time when we’re all together and happy ❤️
are they physically affectionate? if so, how do they express it? vice versa!
Drax gives big hugs :) he’s strong enough to pick me up and carry me around! And Rocket is more shy, but he likes to cuddle with me.
any funny or awkward moments you've experienced with them?
Actually yeah, with Peter— we worked and lived together for a few months several years before the events of the first movie. Peter asks a lot of questions, like “if you’re a shapeshifter, why is your dick small”.
who’s more likely to get into, or start fights? whether with each other or with others.
Rocket starts fights. He’s insecure, and steals batteries he doesn’t need, and there was a learning curve to living with him. We all love him very much though.
what were your first impressions of each other?
My first Impression of Rocket was that he was someone strong that I’d want to stay with— we were arrested and brought to the Kyln together, and he and Groot were protecting Peter, so I decided to stick around.
His first impression of me was that I was untrustworthy (because I tried to help Peter when he and Groot tried to kidnap him)
My first impression of Drax was that he was scary, so I treated him with respect. His first impression of me was that I was kind :)
do you have an anniversary date? how was it decided & how do you (plan to) celebrate it?
No I don’t lol— maybe I should
.... would you still love them if they turned into a worm
Yeah, lol
how did their personality or lifestyle change after befriending/getting with you?
Rocket used to live his life more… unhealthily. He drank a lot and got in fights and had only Groot to support him. Once he made friends with the rest of us (and me of course) he subconsciously began thinking his life actually had some worth, and for the most part, he wanted to stay alive.
Drax was filled with so much rage after losing his family. He thought killing their killer would make him feel better, but after Ronan was dealt with he didn’t feel any more satisfied. He learned slowly that he could only heal and feel better if he opened up and allowed himself to experience love again. He jokes around more, but also cries more— he’s not “fixed”, or without the bad memories, but rather he allows himself to feel things. Before, he coped with the grief by just destroying.
something you know about them, that many others don’t?
Peter often likes to make fun of Rocket for being afraid of spiders, because once they were exploring a planet with these giant bug creatures, and Rocket froze up and couldn’t kill them. The truth is, something Rocket’s only told me and Groot, is that they reminded him of Floor, with all the hydraulic legs skittering around.
how do they reassure or affirm their love for you?
Words of affirmation mostly, and quality time spent together. I need a lot of affirmation ;-;
what’s your funniest or most embarrassing memory together?
I always love when we’re on a mission and need disguises >:3 very fun. one time we were going to a fancy gala, and we had to dress up in nice fancy clothes, but we didn’t even get halfway through the event before Drax took his shirt off and got in trouble.
what’s their sense of humor like? how easy is it to make them laugh?
Rocket and Drax are both kind of immature with their humor— Drax in a more childish way, and Rocket is just kind of a dick. Like he thinks those videos of people falling down or getting hurt are funny lmao— or, as per canon, stealing people’s prosthetics.
what inside jokes do you share?
Mostly about Gamora and Peter’s will they/won’t they relationship. We placed bets on whether they’d get together or not. I lost.
if necessary, how do you wake them up? how do they wake you up?
I’m the one who gets woken up lol, I sleep wayyy too much. Rocket usually tries to be nice about it but Drax is straight to the point and just shakes me awake lmao
any daily routines or habits you two follow?
Life is busy on Knowhere, so we don’t spend every day together. However, we at least try to have breakfast and dinner together every day :) it’s really great!
what do others in source say about your relationship? do you keep it a secret?
Everyone, for the most part, is supportive. Though there are planets like Earth where polyamory might be considered odd, in space (like businesses where you travel a lot and practically live on your ship) it’s pretty typical. We’re all men, too, but that’s pretty normal— for example, Kraglin’s been married 14 times, and has only one ex-wife.
We’ve never kept it secret.
if you have more than one f/o from the same media, which one were you drawn to first? any lore connection like did they introduce you to the others? did one make you fall for the other?
Irl, I was drawn to Rocket first. Something about his voice and personality 🫣 I thought he was so cute.
In lore, technically Peter introduced me to everyone. It did not take long for me to fall for Drax, but because Rocket was more standoffish at first, we were just friends for a long time.
dream piece of merchandise or f/o-related experience you’d like to have
I don’t even know if they make these, but I’d really like a life size weighted plushie of Rocket :,)
how are they like when vulnerable?
Rocket gets angry. He cries and then hates himself for crying, so he picks fights with Peter and then hates himself more.
Drax is very quiet. He doesn’t like to show his emotions in front of everybody, so he isolated himself.
describe your f/o in 6 words or less
Rocket: dangerous, smart, sarcastic
Drax: honest, powerful, loving
describe your f/o using only emojis
Drax: 🔪💪🪨💥
Rocket: 🩻🚀🔫🔧
would you rather go to their world, or have them come to yours?
I like both ideas, but I’d have to say go to their world because there’s also things there I want to experience that has nothing to do with our relationship— I want to visit Knowhere! I want to meet abilisks! I want to fly in a spaceship!!!!
do you care about ship lore? feel free to tell us about it if you’d like!
It’s important to me :) I love thinking of scenarios for our first kiss, first date, etc :D this post actually made me realize that I’d want a wedding with them, so I’ll have a lot of fun thinking about that!
if you have a s/i, how’d you go about creating their design? what went into their lore? how do the others in the source feel about your s/i?
Well, I just started imagining it— I wanted to be kind of humanoid, but I didn’t want to be Terran like Peter. I settled on a shapeshifter alien because I love the freedom of being able to change things and explain it as “oh lol he just decided to have pointy teeth that day” because he’s a shapeshifter :) I also thought it would be cool if his true form was kind of reptilian, because snakes are my favorite animal!
does your s/i hold similarities to you, is completely like you or completely different from you? do you even have a s/i?
Personality wise, we are very similar. He looks different from me because what human features he has are just kind of how I would want to look (for example, he is bigger than I am and has facial hair, and I want to look like that but I don’t because I’m trans 🥲)
thoughts on AUs/canon divergent things? do you prefer to stick as closely to canon as possible or no?
I love AUs! I’m focusing on canon things right now though; the most canon-divergent things get are the fact that I decided to have Rocket settle down and live with me on Knowhere post vol3 instead of being the new captain.
However, when I was depressed and in 10th grade (as if I’m not still depressed lmao) I kind of coped with the stress and shame of being not “good” enough to go to a normal school by imagining that I went to my weird little school and became friends with the highschool AU Guardians. It was really comforting because they were all also too fucked up for public school, and I felt less lonely. I think I still have some drawings from back then!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
quick! your f/o’s just spawned in front of you, now what do you do?!
Well, I would probably be really embarrassed because I’m in my pajamas, but I guess I’d take them outside so we could talk without waking up my parents haha. After telling them where we are, what year it is, etc, then I’d probably tell my parents. My dad would probably kick them out of the house🥲
do they have any superstitions they believe in?
It seems unfair to call this a superstition, but the only thing Rocket really believes in is the afterlife. He didn’t used to, but after seeing the rest of batch 89 in the sky, he’s not so afraid of death anymore.
would you or your f/o ever get matching things? ( keychains, tattoos, shirts, etc ) do they find it cringy or cute?
Rocket and I would have matching necklaces :) Drax really loves our wedding rings— they were a gift from Peter.
who’s more the scaredy cat out of you two?
Me by a long shot. I don’t get squeamish with blood and gore (kind of a requirement in our line of work) but whenever we fight gross looking monsters it really freaks me out. The hellspawn the HE created were by far the worst.
what kind of things is your f/o into? games, music, decor, whatever!
Rocket kind of adopted Peter’s taste in music :) he also likes to watch movies— horror movies especially. That’s something he and I have in common :) I enjoy them for spooks, but he thinks they’re hilarious.
the most random thing you associate with your f/o (foods, shapes, even textures! anything that’s not an obvious)
For Rocket: having really good muscle memory for driving a vehicle, or doing something with your hands. It’s kind of silly but, like, seeing someone solve a Rubik’s cube super fast reminds me of how he puts together scraps of metal.
For Drax: genuine laughter. It’s so lovely <3
anything your f/o absolutely hates, but you absolutely love?
Rocket can’t stand spicy food, but I absolutely love it 😋 and Drax really doesn’t like heat, but I enjoy it :) summer is my favorite season
any aesthetic or -core you associate with your f/o, whether it be due to their design or personality?
Ummmm space pirate :0 I don’t know if that makes sense, but like— have you seen Treasure Planet? That kinda deal. Danger and adventure and really stylish outfits, but also futuristic technology.
who's more likely to die first in a zombie apocalypse lol
Me 💀
do your f/os have any long term wishes or goals? what about your s/i?
For all of us, probably being in a good place to adopt kids. Right now Rocket is still dealing with his past, and Drax is busy helping Nebula with repairing Knowhere, but maybe a couple years in the future we could think about it :)
your favorite f/o fun fact or bit of lore
Rocket loves dancing. He loves singing. He loves music. Especially with Groot, haha— they have a lot of fun. And with Drax, I absolutely adore that he’s so good with kids. I love Nebula’s quote about how he wasn’t made to be a destroyer, he was made to be a dad. It was tragic that he lost his daughter, but the fact that he still has love in his heart to care for the kids we rescued from the High Evolutionary…
Tumblr media
Drax is such a sad character, and that isn’t recognized enough. When he and Mantis are on Ego’s planet, and she uses her empathic abilities to feel his emotions and is immediately overwhelmed with sadness, all the while Drax is completely calm. He rarely shows on his face how truly sad he is.
which animal represents your f/o the best?
Um. 🦝
does your f/o run hot or cold?
Rocket hot, Drax cold
free space to gush about whatever you want ♡
I was hoping there’s be a question I’d be able to fit this into (something like “what is a way you help your F/O and vice versa”) but I am a huge sucker for non-sexual intimacy. Rocket has cybernetics on his back, and they need special care to upkeep them, and he used to have Groot take care of that, but after he passed away in the first movie… anyway, at that point, I’m Rocket’s closest friend, so even though I’m nervous as hell because I suck at robotics, Rocket asks me to help with occasional tune ups and cleaning. Hmm I guess I could have added this to our domestic routines… lol whatever. Anyway that trust means a lot to me ❤️

One of my absolute favorite new Peter/Nebula parallels/connections, that I just have to leave here and that makes me ship them even more, is how they both showed their love for Rocket by gifting him the two most precious gifts - Bucky's arm and the Zune!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rocket probably never shut up about that arm during the Blip years and I assume Nebula went to great lengths to retrieve it (or she just made Drax and Mantis do it while they were abducting Kevin Bacon, hey, might as well steal an arm, too).
And Peter left Rocket his most treasured belonging after having been so mad at him in the beginning for taking his stuff.
They both just love him so much!

Anyone else find it super sweet that the zune initially belonged to Yondu, was given to Peter, and then was given to Rocket. Which means that Rocket now owns a piece of something that was found by one of the first people who ever understood him outside of batch 89.
This movie is gonna find a way to make me cry forever.

Random thing abt me and Rocket <3 (with some background me x Drax) this takes place a year or so after Vol3
Tumblr media
This is self indulgent as helllll I’m actually so embarrassed
Kai knew every inch of his home. He had lived there only a few years, but the place was small (considering it housed three people), and he was the one who planned all the renovations and decor.
He knew every item in the place, too. Or at least the ones he bought, anyway. Sometimes Drax would accidentally break something and try to hide it, but Kai knew exactly how many glasses they owned, how many plates, how many bowls— probably too many for just the three of them, but Kai just loved the ones with pretty designs, or the colored glass. He loved his home in general
Anyway, the point is, Kai always noticed immediately when things were out of place— though he wouldn’t consider this particular item out of place, just new.
A framed photo. It hung magnetized to one of the empty walls in the kitchen.
It was small and worn and one of the corners had torn off. Kai didn’t even think they had a photo printing place on Knowhere— it must have been old.
The other indication of its age was the picture itself— it was of him and Rocket. Obviously a selfie from Rocket’s phone, with him smiling in the background.
Kai deduced from his own appearance (longer hair, pointed canine teeth, dark circles under his eyes) that the photo must have been taken shortly after the Guardians had gotten together. He recognized that it was taken on Peter’s Milano, but didn’t recall the exact occasion. That must have been almost fifteen years ago…
Realizing that he had been lost in thought, Kai took the photo off the wall so he could take it out of its frame. He flipped it over. The back didn’t have a date, it just read ME AND KAI, scrawled in messy, shaky handwriting. Kai smiled fondly.
He replaced the photo on the wall and continued his original task of making lunch for himself.
Rocket got home late that night; he had spent all day working on an invention in his workshop.
Kai was on the couch, relaxing while watching a movie. He paused it when he heard the door open, smiling. “Hey, how was your day?”
“Alright. Anything leftover from dinner?”
Kai stood and joined Rocket in the entryway, where he was locking the door after himself.
“Some. I’ll come eat with you.” Kai said, smiling.
Rocket told Kai about what he was building while he took of his boots and jacket, which always took him a while, especially after a long day and when he was distracted like this. Kai waited patiently, not really understanding the technology stuff he talked about, but content nonetheless.
“So anyway, how’ve you been?” Rocket asked as he stood up a few minutes later.
“Good. Drax and I holochatted with Mantis earlier; she invited us all to come visit her sometime.” Kai replied.
“Oh really? Sounds like fun.”
Kai nodded, hesitating a moment. “I also found something nice in the kitchen,”
Rocket didn’t meet Kai’s eyes. “What was it?” He feigned ignorance as he hopped up into his seat.
“Look,” Kai took the picture off the wall to show Rocket, briefly wondering how he had hung it up so high. “Its a picture of us. Did you hang it up?” He smiled wider before turning around to get himself and Rocket a bowl of leftover soup.
“Maybe.” Rocket answered curtly. “You can take it down if you want.”
Kai put a bowl in the microwave and started it. “No, I really like it. I just wanted to ask you about it.”
A few minutes later, the pair sat across from each other at the table, waiting for their food to cool.
“How long have you had it?” Kai asked, still smiling.
“I don’t know, a couple years…” Rocket said a little shyly. “I used to carry it with me, but I spend most of my time here now, so…” he trailed off, self consciously tugging on his cheek fur.
Kai had never pegged Rocket for the sentimental type. “Why me?”
“Huh?”
“I mean, we weren’t even dating back then—“
Rocket covered his face, embarrassed. “Well, you were my best friend… whatever, it doesn’t matter.”
Kai grinned. “That’s so sweet!”
Rocket grumbled. “Shut up. Its not sweet.“
“Aw, but you carried around a picture of me!”
Rocket began eating his soup. “Not all the time.” He muttered.
Kai laughed. He took a bite from his own bowl, enjoying the rich taste. Drax is an amazing cook.
He studied the picture again, feeling his heart swell with love.
He could tell from his angry-looking eyebrows that Rocket was embarrassed to be even taking the photo in the first place.
Looking at himself had Kai feeling a little bittersweet. He looked tired… he recalled having a few months of nightmares after the fight on Xandar. The smile was genuine, however.
Man, those were the days… living on a cramped ship with his best friends— only friends, at the time— stealing shit and helping people, exploring the Galaxy… Peter’s music and dancing, caring for a young Groot, Drax’s laughter— sometimes Kai missed how things were.
Kai pulled out his phone and took a picture of the picture.
“What’re you doing?” Rocket asked.
Kai shrugged. “I want to be able to see it whenever. Think I can send it to Peter?”
Rocket scoffed. “Hell no. Don’t want to give him any more material for makin’ fun of me.”
Kai smiled. “Alright.”
Some things are still the same, he thought as he finished up his midnight snack.
