I love Peter Quill's EMPATHY.

The second thing we learn about him (besides his love of music) is that he gets into fights with other boys because they "killed a little frog that didn't do nothing."

The filmmakers specifically give us a close up of HIS face when he notices that Rocket has scars on his back.

He goes to check on Gamora when the prisoners are trying to execute her, even though she tried to steal his orb and kill him and got him captured by Nova Corps.

He tries to keep Rocket and Groot and Drax from killing each other even though he has nothing to gain from keeping the peace, and he tries to comfort Rocket and looks distressed when Rocket says "I didn't ask to be taken apart and put back together over and over and turned into some little monster."

He has the most scenes of being willing to listen to insensitive Drax when Drax is trying to give advice.

Obviously he saves Gamora at the cost of his own well-being when she's stranded in space

He thanks Drax when Drax awkwardly proclaims them as friends, meanwhile Gamora snaps at him.

He rallies everybody into saving innocents and becoming heroes.

He notices Rocket, who has been nothing but a jerk to him, vaguely comparing himself to Yondu as a mean guy who miraculously didn't push his friends away. And then he makes this face,

Which is by far my favorite "Kind Starlord" moment, and says, "well of course not." Purely to comfort Rocket and reassure him that they're family, without actually SAYING all that mushy stuff, so Rocket keeps his pride without having to apologize.

And, you know, all of GOTG Vol. 3.

GOTG 3 spoilers!!!

I find very interesting how music had always formed a part of Rocket's life.

The HE made him hear some weird music that represented all the negativity in his life. "Be not as you are, but how you should be." Basically meaning that you should never love your imperfections. That you need to change yourself in order to fit expectations.

Then some years later, this weird half human comes into his life. With him he brings all kinds of songs in vast ranges of emotions and sounds. Most of them about artists mirroring a feeling inside Rocket. Like the son "Creep" by radio head or "Come and get your love".

This stupid, imperfect and sometimes incompetent Terran man is full of flaws, yet he doesn't hate any of them or try to change himself. Instead this strange man that sings loudly and sways his hips to the rhythm just embraces them. Accepting himself and all the Guardians as they are. With all their mood swings, troubled pasts, social ineptitude and inability to carry a normal conversation. This man doesn't care, and it is through his music that Rocket starts to heal. Through the music he starts allowing himself to feel vulnerable and loved again.

It is no coincidence that he stole Peter's devices all the time or that he went out of his way to set up speakers or other gadgets to listen to music. Rocket LOVES music.

It reminds him he is imperfect but that being imperfect is what makes him himself.

Music saved him.

[spoiler] About Rocket's body

Just watched GOTG 1's interview and here's what Gunn said about Rocket's design:

"What if they broke his sternum and streched it out? Because raccoon doesn't really have a chest (like human's)"

And it makes me think about what HE did to Raccoon's bone structure.

Raccoon shoulders are curved to their chest so they can walk quadrupedally, but rocket walking on his two legs require his shoulders to be straightened out (hence the metals). They need to change his C-shaped spine into S-shape like humans, change the length of his arms... and deconstruct his pelvis entirely. Like. Entirely.

Because there's no way that raccoon pelvis can make him walk like a human. Also look at that body. My man looks like a gymnast with narrow waist and everything. While regular raccoons are just. A ball of floof.

Not to mention the brain surgeries he needs to go through.

With him able to lift big ass firearms with tiny hands, they must've replace his bones or muscles into something stronger.

Whatever HE did, feels less like trying to make "something perfect" and more like a child assembling and reassembling his toys because he can.

These look so cool omg

Yooo!! I drew Rocket as all of Taylor Swift's album covers :) Taylor and Rocket are my special interests, so combining them at any given opportunity is my absolute favorite thing to do hahaha

I hope you guys enjoy this is extremely silly and self indulgent project!!! Hell yea!!

can't stop thinking about this

WOAH SKETCHES FROM A DIGITAL ARTIST?!?!?!?!?!?

So, my Apple Pencil has been acting literal doodoofart recently, and I can’t draw digitally atm. I did however find some blank sketchbooks that’s been lying around apparently, so that’s where these came from.

The first one is doodles of my venomsona, Trixie B and her symbiote Mudslide

the second one was anatomy practice I made with Cami, because she’s buff and I wanna show that. (References came from Rhea Ripley, lmao)

the third one was a little doodle I made of CatFish that was originally gonna be something else, but I didn’t like)

the next one is just some random stuff I made because I wanted to draw, including my fursona, CandyBark (its cropped because there was some personal stuff I didn’t want to show, I’m ok now though :DD)

the final one is some drawings of my GOTG oc, Captain Stinkbomb
