I cannot stop watching the vol3 trailer and I CANNOT get over the fact that we’re getting Lylla in the MCU😭😭😭 I needed to draw them immediatelyyyy I hope u enjoy friends
Can I request a preference (or hcs) on how protective gamora and mantis are of their s/o?
Gamora and Mantis protecting their S/O headcanons
Gamora:
Depending on the circumstances, Gamora’s protectiveness shines in. She trusts you, but your safety isn’t for certain all the time. She will do everything in her power to make sure you’re alright. Gamora keeps a level head, although internally she’s panicking about you.
During a bar trip with the Guardians, Gamora notices a stranger invading your space. She swiftly interjects your uncomfortable encounter. She confronts the culprit when they’re alone. She leaves them unconscious with broken limbs. Gamora returns to you, now with the others. You wisely don’t mention the scratches on her cheek and her slightly messy hair. You thank her later, which she shrugs off. You know Gamora will look after you, despite her outward indifference.
Mantis:
Mantis isn’t protective by default, but she has her moments. When you’re in the line of danger, she drops everything for you. She tires herself out with her powers, depending on the severity of the situation.
While you’re out with the Guardians, a stranger gets too chummy with you. Mantis controls their emotions, making them vow to never take advantage of you or anyone else again. She also clocks their face, knocking them out cold. She apologizes for her actions later when she’s with you. You quickly assure her she did nothing wrong and you’re grateful she has your back.
the final scene between peter and gamora is something that will genuinely be burned into my brain for the rest of my life. he loved her so damn much my heart can’t handle this
Hey guys! Due to some … activity on the Rocket server I’m a little inspired to write a long fic (abt maybe 20k words long??? And I wanna post the whole thing in one shot so it will take a while) but wanted to see if you guys are up to the idea first.
I’ll let you guess what this is about, results are gonna be at the end of the fic—and it would be really helpful if you guys told me if you liked it so I know to write it!
He doesn’t really know how it happened.
No, it wasn’t a blur—more like vivid pictures worth 2 seconds of vague context, nothing beyond in a club, sitting at the side or watching other people getting it on.
At this point, he has to tell himself he’s not doing it for sport, it’s not that simple. Can’t be, right? There’s lot’s of assholes in the galaxy.
And then, there’s that pesky little voice in his head, nicking the insides of his skull, hissing, well, you killed the ones that mattered already.
Rocket lifts his drink to his lips and sips. He’s not looking at something in the club, though his eyes were to the ceiling on the other side of the room.
And then … nothing.
Nothing, and suddenly he’d in this black fitting cloak with a belts strapped from his shoulder blades to his collar bones and platform boots so chunky he almost passes off as your regular alien.
There’s a lot of dust by the stairs of your apartment, but there’s also a lot of crying.
Not yours, though.
Yes, one of his vivid snapshots had brought back another friend you were holding behind your back, clutching her chest with her shoulders up to her jaw.
Rocket shook his head. Oh, this is horrible. How often do you keep your wall to wall window open? And with the lights on so bright too? What if a creep had followed you back to your place? What are you to do then?
Your friend stands up from your bed, which was up against your window so Rocket had front row seats. Your hand rubbed her back the whole time, supporting her when she stood and when she took her bag to leave. Oh, shit, you’re leaving.
Rocket dove for shelter as you and your friend were down the stairs in less than five seconds, and you had called her a ride back. A wave, and you’re back on your phone while you walk up the stairs.
Oh, silly, silly you. Don’t you know how dangerous that is?
Rocket turned to leave, but before he could even take the first step, he found rusty spot in his neck—a certain pivot of it that he had to get rid of, an itch to eradicate, and now he was facing your orange-lit window again.
You had just closed the door and entered. Still on your phone. The different ways he could have you, if you were going to be so careless. He could have dreams of them.
He willed himself to take another step. A foot forward.
And that’s as far as he got. His head turned right back around, drawn to your glowing window, and it had occurred to him that the itch wasn’t in his neck.
It was in that window.
That lovely, luminous window displaying you in your barely-even-shorts shorts, your oversized t-shirt and your bare legs.
Naturally, Rocket was at your door five seconds after you had propped your legs up in a certain way on your bed. He wanted patiently, a little pin-like gadget in his hand so shiny, covered in nothing but his nail marks.
Inside, he heard another door close. The cluster of buildings in this area were one room apartments; that was the bathroom he heard.
A few taps and jabs with his lock-picker and the door opened with a pop. His gadget folded inwards as he pocketed it, his heel the first to make contact with your floor, then the rest slipped in, a shadow slick on your walls and closing the door behind him.
The first thing that made him dizzy was the faint vanilla scent coming from your bed. There were many crumples on your sheets, and your pillows had been piled on top of one another like you were rushing to ruin your bed.
You were out of the bathroom quicker than he anticipated. Not to worry though, you switched off the light right after and Rocket had already set up camp in the darkest corner. Spiders fled their homes in his arrival.
You got into bed, wiggling for a few solid minutes into the right, the perfect position that had you curled up in your thick sheets and pillows. They’re all white, like snow laying you down in its bed. It’s a real shame, though; he’s willing to bed blood doesn’t look half as flattering on white sheets.
He rose from his corner. The moon giving him a spotlight, lining his every move toward you. His hand was quick to flip his knife in the air, twirling it around his fingers—he’d cut himself if he wasn’t careful, an it was made clear by the main thin slashes on his gloves. The 120 is large for someone his size.
He finally clasped it in his fist, but the closer he got, the thicker the vanilla scent needled his nose.
Your chest moved, in out, in out. Slow. Your shirt was still too large on you, but as gravity would have it, your waist had been perfectly defined against the glint of the moonlight.
Strange.
He imagined starting at your waist.
And, he imagined … nothing.
Nothing came up, it was all white. Blurry. Where he would usually see blood and guys forming a small heart on the bed, he saw you, sleeping your hair falling to your forehead and your eyelashes fluttering.
Your eyelash fluttered and they fluttered up, and up and up—
And just like that, shot dead by a flinch and a wide-eyed look.
