It shouldn’t be you, but it is.
Three Things
Imagine: You and Gamora watching the stars late at night while listening to Peter's music together
~
After it being the third time you heard a bang, you finally decided to get up and confront whoever was making noise this late at night. You walked into the base of Milano and were shocked to see Gamora already beat you to it.
“You were woken up by that noise too?” You sleepily slurred your words. Gamora looked up at you quickly, startled at your entrance the same way you were when you noticed her. “Oh, did I wake you?” That’s when you realized it wasn’t one of the boys being annoying, it was her. Wondering why she was up this late -or maybe she woke up early, you weren’t quite sure- you sat down next to her and watched as she fiddled with the blade in her hands.
“Well, yeah… But it’s alright,” The glow of the stars and other fancy lights from outside made the features of her face shine in a way that made you feel warm. “Why are you up at this time?” You whispered softly, trying not to bother her or wake anyone else up.
Gamora looked around the room, anywhere but your eyes, really… You weren’t sure if it was to dodge confrontation or if she simply didn’t hear you. To avoid yourself from embarrassment, you didn’t repeat yourself incase she did hear and it was the former option in your head.
It was a silence of small breaths and beating hearts before Gamora decided to speak up. “A lot has happened,” You looked at her, “How so?” Gamora pondered for a moment.
“My father kills me in order to kill half of the universe, I come back from 2014 to learn that my sister isn’t as evil as I thought she was… And I’m apparently dating this guy named Peter,” You went silent, she had a fair point. Everything has been screwed up for the past five years. Peter was dusted away with Drax, Mantis and Groot, so you were stuck with Nebula and Rocket for the time being. You got to know Pepper Potts and Tony Stark, learned how much Earth-616 has changed over the years you’ve been exploring the universe.
“And that’s not even the end of it,” She finished, pulling you out of your thoughts. “I guess you’re right, but you don’t have to go back to the way the other Gamora was living. Or you can, but we understand that you just jumped eight-nine years into the future and we’re all kinda shaken at the moment,” Gamora nodded softly, it was obvious she listened to what you were saying, it just took her a while to process it. That’s when you got an idea.
Standing up, you tiptoed your way through to the pilot seats of the ship and grabbed the walkman and headset from Peter’s chair and came back to sit with a confused Gamora. You handed her the headphones and charaded for her to put them on her head. You searched the walkman for the play button, also confused. After five years on Earth with Tony’s advanced technology, you needed to relearn how to use something you grew up with.
Finally, your memory refreshed and the music made its way to Gamora’s ears. You looked up as at the green girl the cassette tape chittered. She softly smiled at you, this was your kinda battle music.
It was nice, the quiet of Gamora’s breath and the faint music you heard coming from the cheap Headset, the stars that lit up the atmosphere of the ship along with Gamora’s beauty. And that’s when something hit you for the third time tonight, you were falling for your friend’s ex. The daughter of Thanos herself, the girl who time travelled her way into the future to help murder half the universe then changed her mind. Your best friend’s sister.
God, you were even more screwed now.
i bet we were fun like you wouldn’t believe.
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY (2014 - 2023)
So, I was rewatching Guardians of the Galaxy and I realized something.
Gamora is a strong woman, literally trained by Thanos to be a living weapon and a great assassin.
But what my idea is that Gamora probably has the full capability to PICK UP QUILL WITH GODDAMN EASE and I'm imagining a scenario where this happens and it's fucking hilarious.
Thought Id try the Barbie meme with these A-holes 💫
Comic!Guardians are an underappreciated medium byeeeeee
(comics) fic preview
Peter isn’t expecting anything.
Well, technically that’s not true. He’s expecting to gamble and get drunk, to spend some time with his friends and forget all the weird, horrible shit of the past few…hell, he can’t even remember how long it’s been since the whole mess started. Or where he’d actually place the beginning.
But hey, that puts him ahead of the game on the forgetting part. He’s doing pretty well on the drunk part too, head pleasantly floaty, the room going extra bright and colorful and just a little bit spinny around him.
What he’s not doing so well with is the gambling part, and also the spending time with his friends part. So far, in the time it’s taken him to get moderately drunk, he’s managed only to spot Groot already deep into one of the games. The rest of the time he’s been wandering somewhat aimlessly around the casino, definitely not looking for Gamora, who’s been conspicuously absent since they docked on the Planet of Sin.
He isn’t worried about her, he tells himself. He isn’t worried that she’s somehow managed to turn traitor after all, or that some crazed holdout of the ridiculously fanatical ‘kill Gamora for things she technically didn’t do’ army has managed to find her. He isn’t worried that she’s snapped, run away again of her own volition, overwhelmed by guilt and paranoia. And he definitely isn’t worried that she’s avoiding him because he’s finally managed to blurt out the dumbass love confession he’s been trying to drown in booze and bitterness for weeks. He’s especially un-worried about that last part because, like he’d told her, he isn’t expecting anything.
So he’s definitely not, in any way, shape, or form, expecting it when he turns away from watching a Krylorian poker game and finds her standing there in a skin tight dress, every inch of which is covered in black sequins. Her hair is loose, for once, and it’s even curled, which is…well, something he doesn’t have words for at the moment because she’s taken away his ability to do anything but stand there gaping like a fish.
Gamora arches an eyebrow and rests a hand on one hip, a familiar sort of friendly challenge in her posture. “What?”
“Uh…” He continues to stand there staring as about a billion possible responses run through his mind before, predictably, the dumbest one decides to fall right out of his mouth. “I didn’t know you owned any dresses.”
She shrugs, smirking. “I didn’t. But it seemed…fitting for my purpose.”
“Which is?” he prompts, downing the last of the drink he’s nearly forgotten he was holding.
“Seducing you,” says Gamora, like it’s obvious.
“Uh…” he says again, blinking at her dumbly.
So because the teen titans fandom is pretty much almost dead I’m going to take this opportunity to shamelessly self-promote the works I’ve published recently on AO3 (don’t worry, the “sentimental ball of sunshine” and the “sentimental ball of partly cloudy weather” dynamic is still there): a version of Gamora and Peter Quill heavily based on the comics: https://archiveofourown.org/series/2253227
The first story has a recap of what happened in the comics it’s based on to help set the stage. I’m currently working on two more additions to the series and I expect to post the first two parts of the one I’ve been working on for a while pretty soon, end of the month I hope.
Happy (or sad) reading!
Peter Quill is not the only one to blame, and here’s why
It’s been months since I first saw Infinity War and it makes me sad to see all these people who blame the entirety of what happened on Peter Quill. Is he at fault or at least partially to blame for what happened? Yes. Was it only him who made a mistake that led to 50% of all life in the universe vanishing?
Abso-f**king-lutely not.
First off, those who hate Peter for what happened either didn’t pay attention to, didn’t care about, or just plain didn’t watch Guardians vol 2. Peter losing his cool when he learns about those he loves being killed by people who said they “loved” them. His mother was arguably the most important person in his life — he blames himself, even decades after it happened, for not honoring his mother’s last wish; to take her hand. It gets to the point that he hallucinates his mother in place of Gamora when he’s being ripped apart by the Power Stone because he still doesn’t forgive himself.
It’s bad enough that his mother died and he was abducted by space pirates when he was barely even ten years old. To find out later that the man who he thought was the father he always wanted was the cause of his mother’s death is the only reason Peter snapped out of seeing eternity. And as a bonus: Ego said “I did what I had to do. But it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head.” And what does Thanos say when he tries to justify murdering his daughter for a glowing soace rock?
“I had to.”
Cue the traumatic flashbacks.
He ends up killing one father (Ego) and watching the other father sacrifice his life so Peter could live (Yondu) and is absolutely helpless as Yondu suffocates in the vacuum of space.
Saying that Peter should have waited just one second to punch Thanos until after the Gauntlet was removed is like telling a train moving towards you at full speed to stop before they hit you. There’s a certain point where it can’t stop. We humans like to think we have control over our emotions, can put strong ones aside to listen to reason, but surely you’ve seen you or someone you know get so angry they can’t control their reactions.
It’s called adrenaline. You either run from the threat or stand your ground against the threat. There is no in between. Once that chemical is pumping through your bloodstream all logical reasoning goes out the window, because while humans may have brain functions that animals do not, at the end of the day it’s the primitive parts of your brain that have all the control. And for those who believe they can think logically in those kinds of situations, you’re just plain naive.
Besides the fact that why do you blame Peter? Is it because he’s easy to blame? Is it because of his attitude towards Thor? Is it because you don’t want to accept that your favorite characters are all at fault here? Why does no one ever point out that if you blame Peter for losing control over his emotions, then by proxy you should also be blaming Thor for losing control over his emotions because he wanted his brother’s murderer to suffer before he died, when a simple clean cut to the neck would have been enough to secure a victory?
Maybe you blame Peter because you didn’t like how he was antagonizing Thor on the Guardian’s ship. Look at it from this way: you have a group of friends who, even though they may bicker and make fun of you, at the end of the day you have their respect. Then some random person shows up and suddenly all your friends drop you because this new person is way cooler. The Guardians didn’t even know who Thor was at the time, and they’re already abandoning Peter for a person they just met. Can you blame Peter for feeling like he was being tossed aside?
And besides the fact of why Thanos was able to get the Stones so easily — the Avengers, supposedly Earth’s mightiest heroes, are divided. They have limited amounts of backup. Their trust in each other has been shaken, and a team that doesn’t trust each other is a team that fails. So why were they so divided? The Sokovia Accords were a major part of why the Avengers split, and the Sokovia Accords were created in response to the incident in Sokovia where Ultron wanted to drop a city onto the Earth, causing a total extinction level event. Who created Ultron?
Tony Stark and Bruce Banner.
But of course, you’d never blame your precious Tony Stark, would you?
If you still believe everything is Peter’s fault, then also keep in mind that others are at fault too. For example:
Why didn’t Nebula tell the Guardians to meet her at Vormir if she knew that’s where Thanos and Gamora were?
Why did Mantis had to bring up the fact that Thanos was mourning Gamora anyway?
Do the ends justify the means, and is one life really worth half of all sentient life in the universe?
And of course, the question everyone should be asking: who really is to blame for the entire Infinity Stones incident?
I’ll give you a hint — his chin was described as a nutsack.

Just some quality comic starmora banter
Also you are not allowed to say that the kiss in Infinity Wars (2018) or the bed scene in the 2019 run was out of left field when this panel exists from a one-shot published in 2017
The attraction was there, it just wasn't discussed as much as it should have been
Definitely not me promoting my own written works....

Couldn't be me!
Gamora: Is this seat taken?
Peter Q: These are my laps
Gamora: You didn't answer my question
Peter: No they're not taken, go ahead
Gamora: *sits on his lap*
