#in a non-romantic way fury and goose is the best ship

[astromechs]

001: MCU fandom, 002: Peter Quill / Gamora, 003: Carol Danvers. Choose one or do all three if you want :)

i’m gonna do all three! thank you for this 😎

001 | MCU

Favorite character: This is extremely hard, but it’s a three-way tie between Gamora, Peter Quill, and Carol Danvers at this point.

Least Favorite character: Thanos because he’s a dumb bitch. Runners up include: Bucky Barnes, Clint Barton

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): Peter/Gamora, T’Challa/Nakia, Tony/Pepper, Scott/Hope, Carol/Maria

Character I find most attractive: Honestly, most of the women could step on me and I’d say thank you

Character I would marry: Gamora or Carol

Character I would be best friends with: Peter Quill

a random thought: Black Panther legitimately deserved Best Picture, you guys just hate genre film

An unpopular opinion: I’m really excited to see where the MCU goes after Avengers: Endgame, and I’m actually looking forward to getting it over with, in a way, so that we can just move on and start getting to new stuff. (Frankly, the MCU has introduced a lot more interesting characters since the Avengers, and I’m just ready for that spotlight to leave them and go onto other people.) I’m also looking forward to getting it over with because most of my faves have been dead for the past year, and I’m tired of this holding pattern.

My Canon OTP: Peter/Gamora

My Non-canon OTP: Carol/Maria is technically not canon even though they totally are canon, if you get my drift, but I guess they’ll go here

Most Badass Character: This title belongs to Gamora, because she has overcome so much and gotten so far to reclaim her own personhood… and if Marvel Studios doesn’t let her walk off into the proverbial sunset after this bullshit, we’re going to have some words

Most Epic Villain: Killmonger

Pairing I am not a fan of: Bruce/Natasha, because yikes, and Steve/Peggy, because this fandom made me tired of it

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): I feel like Natasha and Wanda have both suffered from writers not really knowing what to do with them over the course of multiple movies. The only movie where Natasha actually had good development and a character arc was CATWS, and Wanda hasn’t even had that.

Favourite Friendship: All the Guardians

Character I most identify with: Peter Quill, like fucking whoa

Character I wish I could be: Carol; I want her powers

002 | Peter Quill/Gamora

When I started shipping them: I liked the idea of them at the end of Vol 1, but I didn’t really start shipping them as deeply as I do until Vol 2

My thoughts: Best MCU ship by far. Yeah, even over Tony/Pepper and all that; I said what I said, y’all. Their development was slow and realistic, never felt rushed, and I actually bought this dynamic, both in terms of the writing and the actor chemistry (which is high praise coming from me, because I don’t tend to buy a lot of ships in movies). Their personalities complement each other, and it makes a lot of sense as to why they’re drawn to one another. Honestly, I love them – I don’t know what else there is to say. They have my heart and they’re my life.

What makes me happy about them: People who can come together and find some healing/peace in one another is, like, my jam, and they just mash all of my buttons in this regard.

What makes me sad about them: Infinity War. Just… Infinity War.

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: A lot of this is, like, characterization stuff, but I get bothered by portrayals of Gamora as some kind of untouchable ice queen and Peter as someone who’s super 100% open and acts constantly like a hyperactive five-year-old on a sugar high. The nuance with this ship is that they’re both adults still struggling with the effects of sustained childhood trauma, and opening up is going to be hard for both of them – they both have their hard edges, but also really soft hearts. I also hate when people portray Peter as some kind of dumbass against Gamora being untouchably hypercompetent; that’s also not really true of either of them, you know? Look at the characters, stop going with the tropes.

Things I look for in fanfic: Anything that gives me that character/dynamic nuance I just mentioned; I love that stuff. These are two characters who both have a lot to heal from, and I love the stories that showcase them healing together. I have a soft spot for dumb/comedic misadventures, as well as heartwarming family stories, and I love me the occasional angst piece too, but if you’ve got the nuance, I’m good.

My wishlist: Honestly, everything? This is the one ship I literally never get tired of. Which reminds me that I have some more stuff to write, too… my work schedule lately has just not been conducive.

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: In MCU-verse, honestly no one; they’re serious at this point, and I just don’t see it happening with anyone else. If we’re talking comics-verse, I actually ship both of them with Rich Rider (and also the whole thing as an OT3).

My happily ever after for them: Both of them surviving Endgame with the rest of the Guardians, going back to their galaxy-saving gigs for a while, maybe hanging that whole thing up at some point and just having some peace. I also see a bunch of adopted kids in their future; Gamora starts it, when she comes back to the ship one day with this little orphaned girl in her arms, but over time, they end up taking in multiple lost/troubled kids, and it’s equally each of their faults.

003 | Carol Danvers

How I feel about this character: Love her! I’m really, really glad she exists; she’s definitely refreshing in terms of what female characters are allowed to be in comics/comics media, and that’s really reflected in part by how women are allowed to be the custodians of her story (and have been since Kelly Sue DeConnick took over her book in 2012). She’s a lot of qualities that we see in male characters – bold, confident, humorous – and isn’t made to apologize for any of those things. More characters like Carol, please.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Maria, I can also get on board the Valkyrie ship; in the comics I love her with Rhodey and also Jessica Drew

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: Fury, Talos, Goose, Thor (they’re going to be besties, I know it)

My unpopular opinion about this character: Unpopular in some circles I guess, but I actually thought she had good development in Captain Marvel; like, it was a character arc I could track, it seemed cohesive to me, and I don’t think she was flat or boring in any way? But people are gonna people.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: Carol better interact with the Guardians in the MCU or else

Favorite friendship for this character: Nick Fury in MCU, Jessica Drew and Tony Stark in the comics

My crossover ship: Diana Prince
