I loved that little bit of the fic. I think they’d be good for each other, because someone as non-judgemental and accepting as Mantis is is just what Nebula needs in this point of her life, really. God knows, it’ll probably never be canon, but it’s one of my favourite little rarepairs at the moment. c:

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.
James Gunn: We actually shot a moment where Chris is holding onto Yondu’s body and crying, and Dave Batista comes behind Quill and sort of embraces him and pulls him back from the body as he’s holding onto it, and Rocket takes Yondu’s body and moves back towards the ship
✨🌙 This scene is quite possibly my favorite moment from the new Guardians of the Galaxy movie – I cried like such a baby during a lot of it (please tell me I’m not the only one ha ha!). 🌙✨

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.
Honestly, this is a huge portion of what I too wanted to say about this movie, except said more eloquently, especially the bits about Meredith and Yondu –
(I love love love how Meredith being the one who picked the music for the Awesome Mix Vol 2 frames her as a sort of narrator/Greek chorus. Running in the shadows, damn your love, damn your lies-)
(And I love how when Yondu says ‘…but he wasn’t your daddy’ he’s not talking about himself, either.)
