It’s occurred to me that, by Nebula’s standards, having Yondu delivered to people who will murder him painlessly (and even reassuring Kraglin of that!) counts as…. downright nice. Awwww. (I think.)

this is interesting, actually, because it’s not the impression I got of Kree society. I think Tazerface implies a more brutal treatment as well when he tells them he’s handing them over? Something about them not lasting long after the transfer which doesn’t suggest a clean end. Might be remembering incorrectly, or it might just be baseless gloating.

Anyway, yeah, for Nebula that is practically comforting.

Yeah I was actually really surprised when I turned the subtitles on and realised she said that? Not entirely sure it fits in with what we know of the Kree, but…

gosh I really love this little scene the more I think about it? Am I right in thinking, this is… kind of the first time Nebula’s been faced with anyone she hasn’t been previously antagonistic to? And she makes that weird little extra effort to tell a complete stranger that the death of somebody she can probably tell he cares about will be painless.

(Honestly, assuming she doesn’t die in Infinity War – which I do think is pretty likely :( – my ideal endgame for Nebula would be her ending up a Ravager captain, with Kraglin as her first mate.)

Wait, Meredith Quill was eighteen in the GOTG2 opening scene? Still a teenager. So she was still a teenager when she became an (unmarried, in the 80s) mother, too, damn. And that means she’d have been, what, 26 when she died?

That makes everything even sadder, and also makes Ego’s interest in her even creepier than it previously was. Eighteen is only just out of childhood. She never stood a chance. Goddamn.

[This bit of the script is from the “Reunion Tour” featurette on the blu-ray, although I suppose you can take it with a pinch of salt, Laura Haddock would’ve been in her thirties while filming the movie after all.]

I have to go.

I usually listen songs when I’m drawing and, with my last work, I couldn’t stop to listen the song Father and Son and this sketch came to my mind.  I have tons of request to do so I don’t know when I’m going to have time to finish it or if I even going to want to, so I decided to posted it already. Very difficult to write with an arrow!
