I keep torturing myself
I’ve seen infinity war twice now and that has just made it worse. I’ve been trying to read all of the fix it fanfiction I can but it’s not working. If anyone has any recommendations at all please give them to me I need all of the fanfiction I can get right now to fill the hole in my heart.
I drew these back in like may-june. But I had a bunch of projects I wanted to finish, and I wanted them to be posted all together
And now after all this time I have determined that I am incapable of doing backgrounds
So look forward to a bunch of half finished pieces
Logically I expect both of them to be quite capable of skating, but like,,,,,,,,, they’re being cute
+ some bonus gals I initially forgot
He like a pirate angel!
Aww, no Adam Warlock? Well, I love Gamora just as much [they count as a unit in my mind lol]. How about y'all?
There really is one braincell left between them
- Warlock and the Infinity Watch #17
I don't care how old this meme is, the Infinity Watch tag needs content and I refuse to let y'all starve in these trying times
greatest team uniform ever. no contest.
Guardians of the Galaxy variants by Marvel Stormbreakers
[ID: A variant cover for Avengers Beyond #3 by Chris Allen featuring the Guardians of the Galaxy - specifically the team from the 2008 run by Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning. They are all shoruded in shadows. From left to right, we can see Phyla-Vell, Drax the Destoryer, Gamora, Star-Lord, Rocket Racoon and Adam Warlock. Phyla is in her red suit and black cloak. Drax is shirtless, with red marks around his eyes clearly visible. Gamora is wearing a red and black version of her costume from the time, which consists of a dress that comes down from her shoulders and wraps into a skull belt, with a cut through the center and the sides, along with black and red thigh high pants. Star-Lord is in his 2008 costume, with the symbol of the guardians on his chest, big red gloves and guns. He is also wearing his helmet. In front of him, Rocket Racoon is wearing a helmet for breathing, has a big gun, and is wearing the same costume as Star-Lord. To their right is Adam Warlock, who is wearing a similar red and black costume.]
random thoughts about a band au for the infinity watch that I’m not going to do anything with but it lives rent free in my head
The full band title is Warlock and The Infinity Watch
Adam - lead singer, rhythm guitar
Gamora - lead guitar
Heather - bass guitar
Pip - drums
Drax - keyboard, sax, (backing instruments)
WTIW is a rock band maybe specifically progressive/psychedelic/hard rock. They do concept albums (following Adam’s comic arcs: counter-earth, magus arc, etc). Adam’s stage name is Warlock and Heather’s stage name is Moondragon, Pip and Gamora don’t have stage names (unless y’all have suggestions).
I’m picturing this as a late 90s/early 2000s human au (they don’t have to be humans idc but I’m picturing it on earth so)
Adam, Gamora, Heather, and Pip are all early-mid 20ish. Drax and Thanos are mid 40s-50s (father aged). Drax was in a jazz band when he was younger. Thanos (could’ve been in a heavy metal band?) knows how to play the guitar and taught Gamora when she was younger how to play. He’s not in the band but they practice at his house so he’s sort of involved via being present while they practice even if he’s not in the room.
Literally all of them are goth except for Pip but it doesn’t matter cause he plays shirtless 💀
thoughts on my silly little au? should Maxam be included in the band or would he beef with Gamora too much + what would be play? not even planning to do anything with this au but I think about it constantly
Guardians of the Galaxy trilogy by Matt Ferguson
ocs week! 3
plots to come! :: stevie joanne quill, GOTG vol 1
❝ the power stone❞
“The heroes of the earth are powerful, in the galaxy are: A Raccoon, two Xandarians and a girl with a 70's ribbon”
Once upon a time , before creation itself that there were six singularities, then the universe appeared with a bang and the remains of its systems were molded into concentrated ingots: the infinity stones. Once upon a time the six infinity stones impregnated a part of it in six girls who lived on earth, giving them his power to control their energy and be their guardians.
but Stevie's stone is now in the hands of a villain named Ronan, who is also Thanos' ally who also plans to destroy them, and besides, he will have to convince his brother that his new team unites with hers in order to defeat him.
what a day!

connected with beyond !!! (also: stevie returns in vol 2)
Exactly this. Perfectly said
I don't like the Found Family trope.
There, did I get your attention? It's true, but the question is, why is Guardians of the Galaxy still one of my favorite stories in any medium ever?
Something really clicked for me with the ending of Vol. 3 (spoilers ahead, natch). The team broke up and that kind of development is usually heartbreaking, because we love the team, they love each other, now that they've found each other why should they ever part ways?
The answer is that they're a family, and that's what families do. Growing up means leaving the parents who raised you and finding a path of your own, maybe to someday continue the cycle with kids of your own, but never losing what you got from your first family. Those people, who you can't choose, will always be a part of you.
Each of the Guardians, aside from Drax, had their childhoods interrupted by traumatic events. They didn't get to finish growing up naturally, and that loss hounded them all their lives. When they found each other they began to heal, but here's what I didn't realize until the end of the trilogy: the family that they found with each other wasn't the kind that you make when you grow up. It's the kind that you grow out of.
From the beginning, Peter has shown signs of "Peter Pan Syndrome," acting like a little boy even though he's highly skilled, courageous, and compassionate. His maturity gradually began to show through, but one quirk that kept coming up was his refusal to return to Earth. No good reason for it except that he couldn't bear the reminder of his mother and he was ashamed to face his grandfather. He can handle it now because his life with the Guardians gave him the stability he needed to become a true adult.
Gamora's new incarnation doesn't need the Guardians because she found the Ravagers instead. We don't know much about them but I expect that what they did for Yondu, they'll do for her too. In the meantime, Nebula's had a few good years of being loved and now she can follow the footsteps of the Gamora who was lost, aside from falling for Peter, because that's unlikely to ever work again.
Groot's been the most fortunate, not having his youth cut short or taking any serious trauma since he sprouted. Eventually he may want to strike out on his own, but until then it's good that he can stick with Rocket.
Mantis seemed more aware than anyone of their internal struggles, including her own. Which is appropriate, her being an empath and all. She really made the boldest possible move, going it alone, and I'm proud of her. Hoping she'll make an appearance in The Marvels or something else before reuniting with Peter and/or the Guardians.
Drax is a special case and the one who I thought was most likely to die, since it seemed like his arc was all wrapped up: he had his childhood before we met him and it was his adulthood that was ripped away from him. Revenge was his entire deal and Ronan and Thanos are dead now, so what's left for Drax? Well, it turns out revenge doesn't have to be his entire deal and now I'm embarrassed I ever thought otherwise.
Rocket...oh, Rocket. We always knew that he was something other than what nature had intended, and that was on top of the nonstop physical and emotional abuse, but now it turns out he already lost the only three people who put anything good into his sad little life. Since there was nothing to salvage from his upbringing, he was the one who needed the Guardians the most, so he's the only founding member to stay. But no mistake, it matters that he's staying as the leader. He's not alone, but he's not under anyone's control, either. He knows who is now and he knows his worth.
The "don't call me a raccoon" running joke always bothered me a little but I never dreamed it would have a payoff like it did in Vol. 3. Rocket claiming his full name is much more than a nod to his comic origins. It's his understanding of where he began and the injustice that was done to him, his acceptance that he wasn't at fault for the deaths of his first companions and that he does deserve to be loved by the Guardians.
That's the foundation that lets everyone part ways without having to ask each other if this means their relationships are over. As far as I've seen, no other found family in fiction has reached this point - the team is generally the endgame, and if someone leaves, things will never be the same again.
In a real family, a good one, when someone leaves we celebrate. Congratulations on your first apartment. Good luck at college. Blessings on your union. Just remember, you can always come home again. Our arms are open for you.
Haters gonna hate.
