cap wasn’t fit to fight in the war. he died of a heart attack because his body couldn’t handle the stress. he wasn’t the strongest or most agile. he was a middle-aged man with aches and pains and creaky joints. and he spends his afterlife running lap after lap of the grounds, timing it, trying to be better, faster. he isn’t as supple as the day he died, because he never was. and i just think after years of him trying to prove himself, trying to sell this image of the athletic soldier (that nobody was ever buying) that it’s wonderful he gets to use his body for other things. he skips with kitty, he dances with the ghosts, he puts on a panto, he can be carefree and silly.

GOTG3 SPOILERS
Whenever Rocket stands before the cage, staring at the baby raccoons, it's not only the reality that, hey, he is a raccoon, but it's facing everything he had been through. You can see the thought process happening on his face. These sweet innocent creatures, everyday trying to exist. They weren't disgusting or vile or an abomination. He wasn't disgusting or vile or an abomination. He, just like the baby raccoons, was just existing, until someone decided to change that state of existence
It's the revelation that the High Evolutionary harmed him when he was a baby. When you're young, you don't really know how young you are, and besides the time spent with Lylla and Teefs and Floor, playing hide n seek, he didn't have a chance to be a child, to be a baby. He always had to be something for someone else, even if that someone was himself. He had to be brave and tough and resilient for himself, too. It's the realization that the High Evolutionary took from him not only the comfort of not being sentient, from dull to way too vibrant, but also took from him his kit hood, and he wasn't going to let the high evolutionary do that to these young kits.
It's a moment of connection and realization. He was so young. He didn't even realize it. It's probably even harder realization now that he is a dad.
It's a startling realization and it starts him into action.
He's quickly grabbing all of the baby raccoons he can, bending down, picking them up, putting them on his shoulders, holding them in his arms, and then, as soon as the high evolutionary rounds the corner, he ushers them off. He takes his hands and scoops them down n off his body, ready, willing, to take the brunt of whatever force.
It's reminiscent of how he protected Groot's body in endgame; shielding as much of Groot, his son, with his own body, to protect him from harm. He's shielding and protecting these baby raccoons, not only because they showed him his reality before the torture, the sweet innocence, (and how could somebody hurt these creatures? -Rocket's thought process), not only because they too could've gone through what he went through, but because they're kits, they're babies.
I just love Rocket, his arc, his development, and this scene really shows so many aspects of Rocket himself. His bravery, and courage, and his willingness to protect. These characteristics he's always had.

Listen up pod pals, what we’re NOT going to do right now is stop engaging with RQ Network shows.
If you read The Article and that’s the conclusion you came to, I beg you to reread.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, these shows ARE NOT PRODUCED BY RQ. Cutting your support to them because you want to disengage from RQ is not the answer. You would be hurting the people you want to help.
This includes in house RQ creators. Do NOT harass them. We’re. Not. Doing. It.

꒰ CAN'T GET RID OF ME THAT EASILY ꒱ . . . f reed !
pairing(s) : fulton reed x fem!portman!reader (romantic) , dean portman x sister! reader (platonic)
in which before the game against varsity, the portman siblings have a surprise up their sleeves.
requested : yes or no.
!! content warnings : fluff, yelling, swearing
robin chirps : erm so im out of my writing slump and ziggy and i nonstop talk about tmd and our boyfriends, so i decided to surprise her since she kinda got me out of my writing slumps and introduced me to my bf charlie and one of the most amazing movies of all time <3 ily zigma!! [@spaceagebachelormann]
"your'e playing hard, i'm proud of you guys." coach orion reassured as he patted russ on the shoulder.
"they're cheap shotting us to death!" luis groaned.
"i know they are, i know they are." orion sympathized.
"It's gonna take a miracle for us to hold on." averman replied. little did the ducks know that "miracle" would be a little more unexpected then they thought.
suddenly, the door burst open revealing a tall brunette with a bandana around his head. dean portman.
"dean portman is awarded a full athletic and academic scholarship to the eden hall academy," dean read off his maroon folder. "i found this lying around at home in chicago, my attorny thought i should sign it, and i agreed." he continued. "it's offical boys, im back!" he exclaimed as all the ducks cheered, especially fulton. his heart broke the day that his best friend dean, and the love of his life, y/n had to go back to chicago. he was ecstatic at the sudden appearance of his fellow bash brother. but if dean was here...then where was y/n?
"hey you ass, where'd you go?" a voice spoke in the doorway. fulton could recognize that voice from anywhere. y/n. the voice was further identified when she herself wandered into the room. fulton was beyond shocked, jovial and he felt that he might have a heart attack because of how much was happening. in no time at all, y/n was in fultons arms their lips interlocked.
"did you miss me?" y/n teased, as fulton rolled his eyes, kissing her once again. dean looked partially disgusted.
"what the hell. why didn't i get one?" dean joked, activly trying to piss y/n off. the girl gave her brother the bird as the ducks laughed and watched the cute reunion. russ and averman made jokes in the background and snickered.
"oh, fulton! i missed you so much mwah mwah mwah." averman said in a feminine high pitched voice, as he faked kissing noises. russ continued with the bit presumably as fulton.
"i missed you too, babe." he said also mimicking kissing sounds. the ducks snickered. fulton proceeded to threaten the two.
"will you shut the hell up before i give you pucks for teeth?" he said. averman and russ laughed, as they stopped the bit. fulton turned his attention back to y/n now answering her question. '
"of course i missed you, you were gone for like ever." he exaggerated. but that's what it felt like for the couple.
"the phone calls weren't the same." he frowned softly.
"yeah, 'specially WHEN DEANS BREATHING ON THE OTHER LINE." y/n raises her voice as she turns back to dean.
"why didn't you call me and tell me you were coming?" he asked her,
"cause this was way more fun." she replied, a goofy grin on their faces. "you can't get rid of me that easily." she said.
'i'd hate to intrude on your little love fest but we got a bunch of temperamental man children's asses to kick." russ chimed in.
the ducks all cheered as they made their way on the ice.
"is that dean portman?" the teenage announcer asked. the crowd was in unbelief, "oh and his sister, y/n! they're both back!" he exclaimed.
"who are those kids? they cant play!" tom exclaimed. "they're on scholarship tom, my hands are tied." dean buckley replied.
"so you're the big enforcer, huh? well its nice to meet you, see, we have a lot more in common then you think-" dean rambled.
"shut up." the warrior spat, "lets play hockey," he said.
"whatever you say sunshine," dean shrugged, the game continued as dean ended up making cole go through the glass, shattering it.
dean and fulton cheered as they banged their heads together. "the bash brothers are back and they're here to stay and so is "y/n "the firecracker" portman, as she scores goal one for the ducks!" the announcer called out and boy was fulton beyond happy with it.
