possibly one of the biggest Moments in the whole of GOTG2 for me is when Yondu gives Peter the last spacesuit and Peter almost immediately, without even thinking about it, tries to take it off and give it back, even though that would almost certainly mean his death.
It says so much about their relationship, and about Peter as a person too.
aaaaaaa, THIS. ALL OF THIS. I will never be over how Peter’s first reaction as soon as he realizes what’s happening is to try to rip off the spacesuit and sacrifice himself for Yondu instead. (And Yondu knows that he tried, which somehow matters a lot to me – they never really got to have a relationship once they both got what they were to each other, how important they were to each other, but they did have that at the very end.)
I can’t stop thinking about this – that that was probably the last thing Yondu ever saw, Peter being so desperate to save him (and Yondu is someone he’d really be fairly justified in hating, and Yondu knows that…) that he was willing to die. That’s such a huge thing. Peter got most of his goodness from Meredith, of course, but – shall I quote the Return of the Jedi novelisation, a sentence I totally don’t know off by heart? This boy was good, and this boy had come from him, so there had to be good in him, too…
Yondu did do one thing right, it was Peter.
