replied to your post “So I recently saw GOTG Vol 2 for the second time and I wanted to know…”
So it’s a “Wow, Nebula, I actually feel glad that you’re still alive” kind of thing
I think so, yeah? Maybe without the ‘actually’? I think Gamora very much dislikes the idea of Nebula dying. Prison for life? Absolutely. But actually being killed…. no.
So I recently saw GOTG Vol 2 for the second time and I wanted to know what you thought about the scene where Gamora yells “PETER” and then Nebula lands there and they stare at each other. The first time, I was a bit annoyed that Gamora was yelling for Peter and not Nebula. Now I’m wondering if it’s because she’s achieved some sort of resolution with Nebula by that point in the movie whereas she hasn’t with Peter? Your thoughts? -xingshining
I actually reckon it’s more in-character for her to yell out for Peter. Her feelings for Nebula are so, so complicated, but she did hate her, like she says at the beginning, not so long ago. Whereas Peter, whether she loves him romantically or not, he’s very dear to her and his death would absolutely shatter her.
But the way she does look at Nebula when she lands, I kinda of read as her thinking something like “This is the most terrible thing I can think of, but I am glad you’re alive.”
what i say: i’M FINE

what i mean: i’m crying because i noticed how, in guardians of the galaxy 2, during the scene where they all find out about ego’s plans gamora tackles and holds up mantis in a chokehold and the first thing mantis manages to get out is: ‘you’re scared’ and i started to think ‘yes of course gamora is scared she’s worried and doesn’t know what’s happening’ and then i saw the next scene with gamora how horrified she looked and she was looking at her hands and saying in such a terrified tone ‘what did you do to me’ and it made me wonder how often, or even if ever, gamora acknowledged her fears, if she ever faced them head-on because she grew up under thanos; she’s the last of her race and was raised by it’s murderer and when being trained and beaten to become a weapon she’s had to suppress that part of her so much just to be where she is today, she had to become ruthless and terrifying all for the sake of being thanos’ daughter and being his weapon, she had to suppress her rage and fear and grief because if she made one false move, she was dead and as a result she never had the chance to come to terms with herself and everything she’s experienced and had to become.

So, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 kind of maybe owns my soul a little bit now? Here’s a fanfic filling in some blanks.
Title: Goodnight
Fandom: Guardians of the Galaxy
Rating: PG13 maybe? There’s nothing in here worse than in the movie
Summary:
“And Darth Vader… I suppose he can’t stand the idea of a world where people like him and the Emperor live and people like Luke Skywalker die. So he picks up the Emperor and kills him, so that Luke can survive, even though it kills him too. And all these little teddy bear things that live on the moon below the Emperor’s Death Star, I forgot to mention all of that, they have a big party with fireworks and stuff.”
Peter and his family before, during and after the funeral.
