Rocket: So when's the wedding with Kraglin?

Nebula: WHAT?!

Drax: Yeah, I need to know because my schedule is very busy.

Mantis: Me too!

Nebula: WHY DO YOU ALL THINK I AM MARRYING KRAGLIN???

Rocket: Cuz you love him.

Nebula (flabbergasted): That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

Drax (genuinely confused): Why?

Nebula: Because I love Peter, YOU IDIOTS!!!

Nebula: *gasps* *slaps a hand over her mouth*

[Peter walking by stops in his tracks]

Peter: W-wait what..?

Rocket (whispers): Jackpot.

Mantis: We did it! YAY! *jumps excitedly*

Drax: Hopefully Peter can tell us the wedding date so I can clear my schedule.

Kraglin, on a call with Peter: You had sex with Nebula how many times during her visit?

Kraglin: …hm. Yeah, pretty sure that goes beyond "bromance", Pete.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Nebula: Okay, how do I flirt with Quill?

Mantis: Just try complimenting him.

Nebula: I can't compliment him, he might think I like him.

Mantis:

Mantis: What is wrong with you?

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Peter: If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put U and I together.

Nebula: If you could rearrange the alphabet, the first thing you’d do is put S E X together and then laugh about it for hours.

Peter: You know me so well.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Nebula: What's Peter's middle name?

Mantis: It's... ! ☝️☺️

Mantis: *sulks* 😟 I actually don't know. Oh my God, I am a horrible sister. *start wailing*

Nebula: Calm down, Mantis, if anyone should be crying, it should be me because (emotional) I love Pe- I mean. I am leader of this team, I should know such things.

Cosmo: It's Jason. His middle name.

Nebula: What? How do you know?

Cosmo: Found lots of doodles with "Peter Jason Quill + Nebula = ❤" in Peter's trash.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Peter: She hasn’t responded to my text. Is she mad at me?

[Meanwhile]

Nebula: What the hell does he mean by “AHHSFDJFSH”??

[awesomegalaxysavior]

I'm getting a bit emotional thinking about how at some point just over a year ago I thought Starbula would just be another crack ship I kept to myself, and now I'm writing and sharing stories for them that people enjoy. It makes me so happy and I'm so grateful to everyone who appreciates this ship. ♥

[Peter plonks on the couch next to Nebula]

Peter: I noticed that you completely ignored Thor today.

Nebula: So? I always do that.

Peter (averting his gaze): Nothing, nothing.

Nebula (squints): ...You are weird.

Peter (softly): I just really love you.

[Nebula cups Peter's cheek and Peter nuzzles her hand]

Nebula: Did Thor do something to you? Should I go kill him?

Peter: No-no! I mean, yes-- I MEAN. It's nothing. You don't have to kill Thor, although I would love to see you do that *smirks*. Just ignore my dumb issues. *waves off* *stands up*

Nebula: Okay. But if you ever wanna tell me - I am here.

Peter (smiling): I know.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Nebula: I thought Quill was some kind of flirting expert. How does he not realize that I like him?

Mantis: Because all you do is stare at him like a creep and every time you talk you’re mean to him.

Nebula: That’s not me being mean, that’s flirting!

Mantis: You are the worst.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

if no one's asked already then you can do starbula for the ship ask meme you reblogged :P

Thank you so much! It took a while to fill out but enjoy! :D

Who wins a prize at a carnival/fair/festival: It depends on the game. Lol everything with shooting that two will end up making a competition outta it, figuring out who will win the most stuffed animals. That's how they got banned from playing any of the shooting related booths on several fairs already. The won stuffies will be gifted to the kids on Knowhere, althought they both chose always each for the other.

If it's other games, like for example fishing rubber ducks, Peter ends up winning always since Nebula has no patience for that game. But everything that requires aim? Nebula wins, always. Just by a few points, tho.

Who does most of the cooking: Peter. Not that I think he's that good of a cook himself but much more as I see it being Nebula. lol This two are so simple with food.(growing up taking what they get without much complain) Give them a few cans and snacks and they're good. Although Peter picked up the habit to cook at last once the week after being back on earth.

Who does most of the shopping: Nebula because Peter intends to get distracted, buying useless stuff and/or misplacing their shopping list. N: you went out to grab take out we ordered in advance. How, how did you ended up buying a fucking armchair?!

Who is hopeless at board games:Nebula. Her competition-genes get activated at every type of game, although it for sure cooled down since her childhood (where competition were a life or death situation) but she is a sore loser. lol

Who is always trying to make the other laugh: Personal headcanon that Peter gave himself the goal to make Nebula laugh more the moment she joined the guardians. Jokes, Puns, Stories, just showing her videos on his super cool new smartphone he downloaded because he knew she'd love them. Once they entered their relationship, Nebula slowly let her facade crumble that she's in love with Peter's humor. Things that before made her just look at him odd now makes her laugh. Turned out her faces before were her supressing laughing to not give him the satisfaction of his jokes working. (BIG HEADCANON that one of the things Peter fell in love with first were her soft giggles under her breath. They're were too adorable, to indulging, to not trying to hear more of it.)

Who has a tendency to give out TMI: We all know Peter Jason "Star Lord" "Can't keep his mouth shut for five minutes" Quill, right? That man will casually(and to his defense accidently) drop way too private things from their behind-doors-life. Nebula shuts him up with her "you better stop talking now or I'm a widow in a few seconds"-look.

Who does more DIY projects: Big Fan of Nebula going into handy work after becoming Leader of Knowhere. Growing up not being allowed to individualize her living space she slowly warms up to interior design once she and Peter moved in their own space. Building own furniture, spontanous deciding their walls need new color. Hey, maybe she grow a soft spot for "five Minute crafts", going all mad when it takes more than five minutes. Plus her tinkering on her arm with Rocket to advance it.

Who is the big spoon: They totally switch. Nebula on her part loves Peter's strong arms around her at night, giving her the safety she needed all her life. I dig Nebula enjoying being taken care of, allowing her to indulge the vulnerable sides of life once she let her guard down. Peter breathing in her neck at night, his heartbeat on her back all night, being that relaxing rhythm, his lips kissing the backside of her head in the morning. Bonus Peter being a damn furnace so she's always warm. She also feels his morning wood she totally not gets excited of Peter for his part is kinda the same? Loving being in his woman's embrace. her body having this duality on different sensations. Cold steel, warm flesh. Boobs Not that deep on his part, he's just a man who loves being cuddled.

Who gives more casual affection:Depending. Peter loves to give her the casual affection in public she allows as Nebula is not a fan of it. Sneaking kisses from her whe she isn't prepared for it. Holding her hand. Snuggling her cheeks when nobody is looking. This all continues behind closed doors just multiply it. But now, big twist. Once that doors are closed Nebula becomes a tamed wild cat just looking for pets. Being that touched-starved all her life and not being a fan of PDA she can't keep her hands off Peter. Sitting in his lap, casual cuddling... It took her so long to get comfortable to act on her desires for affection, Peter was so surprised once she shown it.

Who reads to whom: in love with the concept of Peter picking up reading back on earth and realizing he barly can't read english anymore. After getting back into it he started reading stories he remembered from his childhood to Nebula. Mostly fairytales. He also then realized that his mother always read him the non or at last less-violent versions of them. Nebula: Damn, didn't knew human fables were that gruesome. I kinda dig it. Peter: ...me neither. Fuck, when did Red Riding Hood got so violent? Nebula: Who cares? Keep reading!

Who brings drinks and food without being asked: Honestly, both. Peter plays little housewife when visiting Knowhere, bringing Nebula food to her office. But also Nebula will remind Peter to eat and drink as he intends to forget about it once he's busy with something that requires his entire attention. She had him too many times throwing up because he forgot to drink for hours and not realizing he was hungry.

Peter: I think I’m coming down with something, I’ve been feeling nauseous lately.

Adam: Maybe you’re pregnant?

Peter: …

Adam: …

Peter: I don’t know who’s the bigger idiot right now; you because you suggested it, or me, because I just had a heart attack.

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Nebula: People with no childhood trauma are so confusing like what do you mean you cried to your dad and he helped you?

[awesomegalaxysavior]

Rewatching the first movie is a whole new experience after watching the second, and I ended up having approximately 11 billion feels about that scene where Yondu threatens to kill Peter after the Ravagers pick him out of space. There’s SO much nuance to it, so many things I didn’t notice the first time around.

The thing is, it’s not an empty threat. Being capable of loving someone doesn’t automatically make you a good person, and they are space pirates, after all. Peter genuinely did double-cross him and rip off the Ravagers. The crew already thinks he’s soft on Peter, and he told them to their faces that he was going to kill Peter when he caught him. And we’ve seen in the second movie that he has genuine reason to worry about how the crew might react if he doesn’t. We saw what his crew did the minute they caught a hint of weakness. This is the problem with leading a bunch of mad-dog killers.

From Yondu’s point of view, the little shit hasn’t left him much of a choice. 

LOOK AT HIS FACE, THOUGH. 

There’s a recent interview with James Gunn in which he says that the Peter-Yondu relationship in the second movie is set up in the first movie (people ask him if he introduced it in the second movie, and he says no, it’s all there in the first movie if you look for it) and this scene is one of the scenes where it really shows. I had to gif Yondu’s expressions in detail because there’s just so much there.

The way he turns his back so he doesn’t have to watch, because he can’t kill Peter while he’s looking at him.

Clenching his jaw and bracing himself and that thousand-yard stare in the first gif as he prepares to whistle Peter’s death.

(the way he tells himself he’ll get over it but he knows he won’t)

And then his reaction when Peter makes a last-minute deal: that initial flash of a smile, that instant when he visibly starts to crumple in relief.

Getting himself under control, folding back the real smile under his game-face pirate grin before he turns around.

No way he wasn’t praying to gods he doesn’t believe in that the little (beloved) trickster smartass was going to give him an opening Yondu could wedge a deal into.

No way he wasn’t trusting, on some level, that Peter was going to find a way out of this, like he always does. Give me an out here, Quill. 

It’s a 2-second scene with a whole world of character development in it.

Just like the way Peter calls Yondu to come get him, knowing Yondu might kill him, but also knowing (trusting) that Yondu is going to drop everything and jump to his coordinates. Trusting that the 30 seconds he has to live from the time he jumps out of his pod into deep space will be enough time for Yondu to get there and save him. And what comes after that might be brutal, but he jumps out of that pod trusting, on some level, that Yondu’s going to catch him.

Peter Quill, post-vol3 headcanons

Started working as a volunteer firefighter for the local fire department. Keeps him busy, helps him connect with folks, and he's run out of enough burning/exploding buildings and ships that it's all second-nature to him.

Working on getting his GED, courtesy of his grandfather bullying him into it.

Also getting involved in a support group for alcoholism. He tried AA, felt a little weird about the whole higher power thing, and found a support group for guys around his age. That's another thing his grandfather nudged him towards.

Tried the whole dating scene - didn't last long. Somehow he kept getting dates with folks who run true crime podcasts who wanted to ask about his disappearance back in the 80's.

Helps a lot around the neighborhood. Lots of mowing lawns, cleaning gutters, piddly things for the older folks in the area. Need something fixed or cleaned up? Call Jason's grandson, he'll get the job done for ya.

Peter has gotten into exactly One fight at the local Waffle House.

Also, he likes getting to spend time with his step-grandmother. She's a cool lady - he tells his grandfather he's a lucky dude. (Jason agrees.)

Nebula: *Stubs her toe on a table leg* SHIT!

Peter: What the fuck?!

Peter, yelling at the table: HASN'T SHE BEEN THROUGH ENOUGH? WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? LET HER SUFFERING END YOU FUCKER.
