had a thought about neighbour!peter....
you think he's all sweet, it's the only side to him you ever see. that is, until your parents go away for the weekend and your friend has invited you over to her place for drinks. but you can't drive and your parents can't take you, obviously.
so you beg peter to take you, promising to help him with anything around the house to pay him back. he knows he shouldn't, you're supposed to stay at home, but then again he knows you, he knows you're adult enough to not go too far and he trusts you.
so now he's taking you in his truck to your friends place. you thank him for the lift and you walk up to her house, waiting for her to answer. when she does, she notices peter in his truck.
"hi.. uhm who is that?"
"oh.. that's peter, my neighbour.. parents are away so he dropped me off.."
"he is, like, super fine.."
"i mean, i guess.."
"is he gonna join us?"
"he's like forty something.. i doubt it.."
"oh come on.. let's have a bit of fun!"
she pushed past you and walked up to peter's truck, throwing him off slightly, thinking something's gone wrong.
"hi.. you know, might be a good idea to have some adult supervision here.."
"i'm just drop off and pick up.. i ain't comin' in.."
"oh come on.. have a little fun! it's just her, me and two of our friends.. we won't bite.. unless you like that.."
peter looked past her and glanced at you, and saw you smiling. maybe one drink wouldn't hurt, he thought. so now he's hopping out the truck, and following your friends to her house, sitting down on an armchair while your friends sat on the two couches in the front room.
your two friends were ogling him as soon as he walked in the room, right up until he sat down.
"right.. you have some explaining to do.."
your friends had turned to you now.
"me?"
"yes, you! you talk about this neighbour guy all the time.. but you fail to mention how fucking hot he is?"
peter just smiled, looking over at you and taking a sip of the water your friend had brought him.
"you talk about me?"
"i may have.. mentioned you, once or twice.."
"mmhm.."
"ok.. just.. pretend he's not even here.. please.."
peter would not stop staring at you as he kept sipping on his drink, making you blush slightly.
"do you agree with them?"
"about what?"
"that i'm hot or whatever.."
"m-maybe.."
"this is gonna be an interesting night.."

Watched B-Mask's video essays on the Sly games trilogy for the millionth time (you should watch them too btw) and I can't stop thinking of the similarities between Vol. 3 and Honor Among Thieves specifically in both dealing with the characters having to decide what comes next in their lives seperate from each other because they just can't do the same job forever, but what the Sly games do that the GotG films don't is build up to that being a main plot point from the second game up to the ending of the third. Vol. 3 really makes the odd choice to have that become a background plot point and then expects the audience to just be okay with them all suddenly deciding to part ways within ten minutes at the very end.
I can't stress this enough, but my problem isn't that everyone goes to do their own thing. My problem is that suddenly being the end goal of Vol. 3 after two films + a holiday special where that was never a possibility or a problem in the first place. The only reason everyone stopped progressing (and even then mainly just Rocket and Peter. You can say Mantis got held back but even she had character development to realize what she wanted during her time with them so she wasn't literally held back like she was with Ego) was because both of their lives only came to a screeching halt after what happened outside of the core films (IW+EG) But the film itself didn't even bother to address any of that stuff aside from only Peter being depressed about Gamora. So it comes off rather moot to me, personally.
