Happy Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 3 release day!!! Here's a reminder that Bugborg Week will be held next month from June 12th through June 18th. The official post including prompts and rules is here. We can't wait for the week to start and we hope everyone enjoys the movie! Who all has already seen it? 👀

“I think Nebula hates me,” Mantis announces one morning.

“She hates everyone,” Rocket says. “Don’t take it personal.”

Mantis isn’t taking it personal, per se. In fact, if asked, Mantis would probably say that not taking it personal is both a startlingly accurate summary of herself and something she should probably work on. It’s just that Nebula seems to tolerate everyone except for her, in her own little way.

“Just give it some time,” Rocket says. “Eventually, she’ll start to pretend to tolerate you like she does the rest of us.”

Or: four times Mantis thinks Nebula hates her, and one time she realizes she doesn't.

Nebula, looking at Mantis: God, she's pretty.

Quill: Don't be jealous, you're pretty, too.

Nebula: I'm not being jealous, I'm being gay.

Consider Gamora teaching Nebula to waltz so she can dance with Mantis at their wedding

Gamora and Nebula were on a little bit more than speaking terms now, thank god. Nebula couldn’t imagine if she and Gamora were on fighting terms. They go shopping together, and talk to each other. 

She was the first to know about Neb proposing to Mantis, in fact. 

“You have to learn how to dance,” Gamora says. 

“I’m not asking Quill,” Nebula responds, crossing her arms. “I am not ever going to do that. I would rather step on Mantis’ toes. Besides, you’re not a dancer.” 

“Where you can see,” Gamora says, smiling. “Drax doesn’t know everything, sister.” 

Nebula meets her early in the morning. It’s just like learning how to fight; you know the moves, you execute them. Minus the knives, guns, swords, fists, teeth, cuffs, daggers, spears, and the occasional trident. 

“You’re going to do great,” Gamora says. “Don’t be nervous. And don’t wear your blue boots.” 

“Mantis likes them!” 

“That is because Mantis likes her fashion sense. Wear the boots you like. You won’t be able to dance in the blue ones.” 

Gamora smiles at her sister. Their first dance will be beautiful–Mantis has been discussing her dress with Drax, who has been sworn to secrecy. (And been really bad at it.) 

There are steps that take Nebula a little bit longer. She’s still too awkward with the spins, but it’ll all work out. 

Gamora sees her handiwork on the day of, when Mantis and Nebula dance to Peter’s soundtracks, and Mantis giggles as she swings out too wide and nearly hits Yondu’s punch glass. 

“I didn’t know Nebula was a dancer,” Peter says. Gamora nods. 

“She likes to move. She just usually doesn’t do it to music.” 

“Much like yourself,” Peter says. “Do you think Drax still thinks we’re an odd fit?” 

“We fit,” Gamora says. “Hasn’t all this time proved it?” 

They go back to watching Nebula smile at her wife, laughing as they dance off the floor, nearer to the food. Mantis delicately nicks a dessert from the table, putting it in Nebula’s mouth as they continue to twirl. They’ll be happy together.

Mantisnebula is the fucking bomb. Mantis is the one who confesses first, and she’s actually rlly worried that nebula doesn’t like her back, but then Nebula just. Touches her cheek and she’s like “ah. Okay then” and Boom space lesbians who kick names and take ass ALL DAY

YES like nebula is actually really good at being affectionate in small doses and she’s just overwhelmed with her feelings the moment she hears mantis likes her so ofc she’s all soft and then they hold HANDS and it’s beautiful. and they like to watch the stars with hot chocolate together and listen to peter’s silly music bc sometimes it’s really romantic when it’s played all soft and the windows of their ship are the perfect places to just sit and Think together when everyone else is in the other room….
