im here to blow some steem from my irl daytime so:

Yall know how raccoons have the tendency/urge to clean their food first and dip it in water as in a lake, river or fountain, and how a video went viral years ago cause a person gave one a ball of cottoncandy and the raccoon went to clean it and it disolved causin confusion to the lil raccoon touchin the water to check where the cottoncandy was?

Well, I picture Rocket bein some kind of food stealer (from garbage) but he has the manners of a real raccoon and the urge in his brain (somethin the High Evolutionary could not control) to clean his food first before eat it.

So obviously Peter has taken a notice about this urge and obviously he puts up some pranks on him (happenin before GOTG vol 3) and Rocket, bear with me, his very first thought when he sees the cottoncandy disolve is drawin his gun at Peter goin all feral.

He did not trust Peter when handed food for 2 whole months.

BUT

When, SPOILERS, at the end of GOTG vol 3 Rocket rescues those lil raccoons... he does the same, only cause he is curious if they will react the same

And when they do, he feels so conected to em 🥺🥺

Hi can i pls request your HC of Rocket's fave foods or leisure activities? Thanks :D

Rocket Raccoon general HCS

ohohohoho now your talking my language *Cracks knuckles* alright, firing up.

We'll start with leisure activities, Now obviously Rocket would spend most of his time building bombs, weapons or new inventions for the team.

It's normally his number one pass time for boredom.

But then when you came to the team, he normally rolled his eyes whenever you talked about your favourite things from earth.

Until one day, you managed to bring aboard your games console when you first joined the team.

Rocket could hear the clicking of the controller when he was working, About to scold you for a bit until he saw what was on screen.

Whatever you were playing, He was intrigued by the premise of what you were playing.

After a little bit, he got off and went over to you, wanting to give it a go.

Ad after that, He's been hooked ever since, Gaming is now his new pass time alongside bomb-making.

Now for his favourite kinds of food.

Before he joined the guardians, he would have to make do with what he could get his hands on.

The biggest luxury of food was basic bread, he would always hear his stomach growl whenever he could smell it.

He would savour almost every last bit of crumb.

But when he met you, You would've brought back any form of earth food whenever you or Peter needed to make a stop there.

When you brought your bags in, you placed them into your snack drawer.

One day, the smells of said snacks peeked into his nose, Curiosity getting to him.

Deciding to sneak into your room and find the snack draw.

"Or...Ore...Oreo's ??"

He opened the packet and took a quick sniff, Smells sweet. But did it taste good ??

One bite... He was in heaven.

You then found the empty packet... More like rummaging through the snack drawer.

Finding him passed out on the floor with the empty packets.

Knocked out in a food coma.

He wasn't even sorry lol.

[elegant-fleuret]

what do you think rocket would be interested in/any hobbies he would have outside of tech?? and besides bombs and booze could you see him liking any kind of earth media or spaces equivalent of earth media xD i can imagine him being a car show kind of guy but with spacecrafts

oooooh i could SO see rocket being a car guy (although i have no idea about cars besides the fact they go vrooom so that's where my thought ends).

idk how prevalent they are around the world but in the summer months there's a lot of casual weekend car shows where a buncha old dudes take their vintage cars and meet at diners for brunch, then go for little joy rides. i feel like rocket would throw on a snazzy little get-up (a nice button up with the sleeves rolled to the elbows, pressed slacks, snazzy dress shoes) and join all the oldies, maybe offer to boost up their rides, join them for some scrambled eggs and english muffins.

separate tangent, i feel like elderly poppops and memaws would love rocket?? kinda drawing on his original origin being the caretaker for old people but. like, i can just tell that rocket loves those caramel candies old people always have in their pockets.

GOTG 3 SPOILERS AHEAD !!!

Throughout gotg3, there are mutliple scenes in which Rocket is the one controling the music. Not Quill, like usual. And on the surface that has an easy explanation. Quill passing the mantle of captain to Rocket. (Especially with that beautiful poster of Quill literally handing Rocket the 'awesome mix vol.3')

Buuut I have a lil headcanon about that I'd like to share.

The High Evolutionary was fascinated by music. Earth's music. Specifically that spooky latin opera (at least, I think that's what it was, feel free to correct me). Rocket grew up with that music. It was the only kind he ever heard.

And after he escaped, Rocket refused to listen to music. No matter the genre, he wouldn't even give it a chance. Because just the thought of music would bring back those memories. Then, years later he meets Quill, who's entire personality practically revolves around his love for music. From this, Rocket realises that music can be so much more than the slow, mournful sounds of his childhood. And as the guardians grow closer, music becomes a carrier of many happy memories for Rocket. To the point where finally, he is the one controlling the music.

Who Would Confess?

Rocket x Reader Headcanons

This is a reply to two headcanon asks I got that were pretty similar!

First Ask

Second Ask

~

• I think it would depend on whether he thinks/knows that you like him back.

• He doesn't want to ruin whatever good friendship/relationship you two have going on. He's comfortable, but he can't help but want more.

• If he noticed some signs from you (more flirting, asking more personal questions, any physical affection), I reckon he'd ask you what you view him as.

• Like, "what are we?" That kind of thing.

• If he had no clue how you felt, he'd either straight up ask you in the most casual way, “wanna get a drink?”, or he'd ignore his feelings and continue having the comfortable relationship that you two share.

• If his friends told him that you had feelings for him, he'd be skeptical.

• How do they know? Are they just guessing? Did you tell them?

• Where are they getting this information???

• If you had expressed how you felt about him to his friends, he'd wonder why you didn't just come to him.

• You guys were close, you talked about everything. Why couldn't you just tell him so he didn't have to tell you?!

• At first, he'd be nervous to tell you, whether he knew you liked him or not.

• He's make you something small, something he knew you needed or wanted.

• Nothing too fancy or difficult to make.

• Something simple and pretty with his own flare added to it.

• You loved anything he made you, whatever it was.

• Perhaps he'd show more casual physical affection.

• Patting/resting his hand on your thigh, wiping something off your face, taking multiple glances at the little cuts and marks on your fingers and hands, eventually choosing to hold your hands for a closer look and ask how you got them.

• He wouldn't show how flustered he got, wouldn't hesitate during these actions as it had to be seen as second nature, and he certainly wouldn't show his worry for your well being over something so miniscule as a paper cut.

• On the other hand, he would fall to his knees if you confessed first.

• I think he’d honestly prefer it because then you’re going out of your way to tell him that you like him.

• Him. Rocket. The cybernetically engineered raccoon, who stands on his hind legs to reach a height of 3’1 while wielding guns larger than himself and three times his weight.

• “I like you, Rocket.”

• God, how this man would swoon.

• A creature, as beautiful and flawless as you, liking a monster like him.

• For a moment, he’d think you were lying, taking pity on him.

• You assured him you weren’t, and that you truly and deeply loved him. That you didn't view him as a monster.

• That you viewed him as perfect.

• If you listed out everything you liked loved about him, he’d cry.

• You two would have different methods of confessing.

• Doesn’t matter who confessed first.

• Because one of you eventually did, one way or another.

Time for another subtle cue analysis from me!

Today's topic is Rocket's reactions to Gamora vs Peter in Vol 2 after they crash the ship on Berhert.

When Gamora is berating them for getting the ship wrecked, Peter wasn't taking the talk seriously and being boisterous, when it pans to Rocket, who Peter basically blames it entirely on, this is the first shot we get about how he felt when Gamora was yelling at them.

He's looking pensive, receptive, like "yeah, I guess I screwed up." he's open to the criticism, (and yes, it is fair he did set off the events of the space chase, but I think he was legitimately confident he could get them out of there unharmed without Peter's interference) but as soon as Quill tries to place all blame on him for the crash...

He's being antagonized, like 'that's how you wanna play?' And he gets defensive.

When they are leaving he looks at Peter and bares his teeth a bit, because he's still pissed at him, for blaming him for everything and calling him names.

At this point in his arc he's not sure if he belongs to the team, it seemed like a good idea when they just saved Xandar but now it's been a couple months and the high of being heroes together has worn thin and he is questioning if this is right for him. He's glaring at him side-eye style too. This causes Peter to turn to say something.

When he says, "Hope Daddy isn't as big a dick as you, orphan-boy," he is literally just saying this to be hurtful because he's been festering on this anger since the day before-- but if you watch closely you can see he's really, really just upset, and now Peter and the others are leaving him behind to do all the work on the ship, taking care of Groot and guarding their prisoner Nebula.

He is very conflicted and the main reason he's sticking it out is for Groot's sake. He remains pissed off until the encounter with Yondu because this argument with Peter never gets resolved. He has this fear that being himself, flaws included will make people hate him and Peter even drives that stake further in him with the last thing he says before leaving. "What is your goal here? To get everybody to hate you? Cuz it's working."

There's that affirmation.

Rocket Raccoon headcanons

-even as a cybernetically enhanced raccoon, he still is a raccoon so while his eyesight is better than that of the rest of his kind it's still lacks in some ways. While he got excellent night vision, he can not tell the different shades of colors and sometimes confuses blue with green for example. He is also slightly near sighted and has trouble reading small writing and can barely read handwritten stuff

-speaking of his eyes: They reflect light in darkness like most nocturnal animals! This nearly scared the shit out of Peter, when he went to the bathroom one night, turned on the flashlight and was met with a pair of green glowing orbs down the hall. "What the fuck, Rocket?! Dude, i almost pissed myself!"

-he can eat anything! He is not above eating the leftovers of his fellow guardians and sometimes even will dig out fruit and vegetable skins out of the trash, complaining how anyone could throw this away. One time Peter played a mean prank on him by giving him a bowl of Cosmos dog kibble and telling him it's cereal. After watching Rocket delightfully dig in, he burst out in laughter declaring him a trash panda once more

-on rare occasions he gets so angry, that his primal instincts take over and he becomes absolutely feral! He will hiss, bark and growl and destroy things by ripping them apart with his teeth and claws

-sometimes after a battle the implants in his joints and spine hurt from being over used by running and fighting and he has to walk on all fours for some time to ease the pain. He mostly just curls up alone in some corner though, afraid of being laughed at because this is just another animal thing

-he loves swimming. One time the Guardians went to a planet that has lots of lakes and they decided to go for a swim and Rocket had so much fun, splashing the others and finding some discarded parts to make new inventions out of

I think that if rocket took care of all the baby raccoons, he would act like a momma raccoon around em. His "animal" instincts would kick in and he would be very protective of em, maybe lick them to calm them down, curl up into a ball with the babies curled up next to his belly. He would bring them food and make those loving chirping noises to keep the babies calm and safe, but he would deny everything if someone from the Guardians saw him.

˚₊‧✶ headcanon 21 ✶‧₊˚

i write about raccoon sense of touch a lot [this kinda spicy rumination] and i think about it a lot

like two-thirds of a raccoon’s sensory perception area in the cerebral cortex is just… focused entirely on interpreting tactile data. their fingers have whiskers (okay, vibrissae) so they can identify objects without even making paw-contact. their hands become hypersensitive when wet (lord). if they identify things with their paws, they can remember them for up to/around a year without touching them again.

so yeah, when you press a kiss to rocket’s palm, it damn near lights up his whole brain. holding hands? palm-to-palm? it’s so intimate that he’s probably absolutely scarlet under all that fur. he probably thinks it feels like you might as well be reading his mind. he memorizes you the same way he memorizes every gun he takes apart and every bomb he puts together.

i suppose this means he thinks mostly in tactile sensation, too. when he’s imagining you, it’s less about the color of your hair (assuming the high evolutionary’s made sure he can see the same color-range as humans, anyway). it’s not about the clarity of your eyes, or how you’d looked with the sun haloing you that morning on xandar when he’d first let you touch his shoulder. nope. when rocket thinks about you, it’s how warm your hands are, every little soft pillow and rasping callus on your palm and fingertips. the brush of them through his fur, every one of his little hairs standing on end in its follicle. it's the shape of the bones in your wrists from that time he traced them into memory.

similarly, rocket doesn’t remember lylla’s liquid-dark eyes so much as the silkiness of her pelt, the cool graze of her vibranium-alloy hands. the delicate touch of the damp fabric on his forehead that very first day, and the squeeze of her arms on the very last.

and so, the natural outcome of all this is that he dreams in touch, too. it’s not the silver flash of scalpels and the blood on the ground — it’s not even the gunshots and floor’s desperate pleading and his own wails, or the scent of laser-burnt fur and blood — though of course those are all there too. it’s the pain he dreams of: feeling it fresh in his body, every incision and broken bone and careless laser-stitch, every screw and metal plate soldered in. it’s not the lights for their white-brightness; it’s the tearful squinting squeeze of his eyes, the burning in his pinpoint-pupils. it’s the way lylla’s body had buckled and loosened, and pulled from his arms to the ground by gravity — the last of her warmth wisping through his fingers, already a ghost between the cold arête cages. it’s the plummet in his own belly — that terrible twisting knot that dropped when his first family did, and never ever stopped.

all that pain. it’s so much. it’s so much to make up for.

it’s so much to make up for.

but you’ll get started.

wanna know another sad fact bout GOTG vol 3?

SPOILERS

so, us as spectators know the whole deal with floor, teefs and lyla but the crew of the guardians only know and saw what they did on rocket (the experiments and the process) but rocket (at least on camera) never opened up bout all their friends deaths and grieving he was experiencing... and basically all that scene when he died and went to the "sky"

Do you think he ended up tellin them?

ok, this is going to be a little specific so it's okay if you don't want to write.

Rocket with a reader who is a veterinary student (it's me, hi) and since they met Rocket, they always look out for him and take care of him whenever he gets hurt.

Veterinarian

I really like this idea, whatever trouble rocket goes through, your already their. I also deeply apologise for the delays on the request, but fear not I am working on them as I speak now.

Ever since you were a young child, you always wanted to work with animals, help them in anyway you could.

You were even on the track. Managing to get into a vet course in college. It was hard but extremely rewarding.

You met the guardians about a month later after you were kidnapped from terra. And then you met Rocket.

“Your… your a talking raccoon ??”

“Whatcha call me ??!!” He tried to lunge at you.

Not to self, never call him a raccoon.

But outside of that, you were able to treat him anytime he came back from a mission injured.

He refused your help at first, indicating he didn’t want help, but on the inside. He was scared.

“Rocket your bleeding, please let me help you.”

“I don’t need your help humie.. I’m perfectly…” he moved his injured arm and hissed. “Shit”

He went quiet for a little while before nodding. He let you help him.

You were very gently and smart with how you treated him, despite being in unfamiliar territory. The instincts came back.

Even when he came down with a form of a cold, you treated him like any other animal you would.

“You seem to have a high fever” you looked at the thermometer.

“I’m fine y/n… *cough cough*… not fine”

He was grateful for your help everytime you treated him, not that he would say it out loud, but he was grateful.

Don't get me wrong, I think all the soundtracks for the GotG trilogy slap. But someone couldn't have given Rocket a raspberry pi with, like, a terabyte of music before they left? You can't tell me he'd prefer that boomer rock on Quill's zune over Rage Against the Machine or Slayer.

On that note, Rocket would listen to AnalCunt unironically and you can't change my mind. He'd totally be into shit like grindcore, death metal, sceamo, ect and you best believe he'd be in the center of the pit throwing hands at a show.

I have Thoughts about Guardians 3, and Rocket's arc.

Spoilers of course if anybody watching me here still cares.

--------

A name isn't just a callsign, especially if it's one you chose. A name is part of how you see yourself.

Rocket chose his first name as an act of *hope*, which was then absolutely pulverized. And in that pulverization, he lost every meaningful root he had, and every social link to anyone who could truly understand what he had been through.

Rocket refuses to be a Raccoon.

I don't mean that he just objects to being *called* one. I mean that he feels he *has no common species* at the beginning of the film. Even if he *was* a Raccoon-based prototype, which he doesn't know or believe for certain, he was deeply, fundamentally Changed. When he was modified, uplifted, and *tortured* "for his own good," he became something different than everyone else cowering in his cage. His species and his family was his experimental Batch now. And he is the only survivor.

He had believed that meant they were going to be a part of something beautiful and good and better than himself, and he was willing to serve that goal right up until he learned first that he was worthless to his maker's ideal of that beauty, and then that his family was going to be deleted like a typo out of the grand plan.

His whole life, right up until his near-death vision, he feared that all he was was somebody else's fuckup, wearing the name of a lost dream.

And then that changed.

He began to have hope. Then he made a choice of his own that he couldn't hide from his past anymore: whatever happened, he was going to stand or fall on his own power, and have a shot at making a difference along the way. And then...

He chose to be a Raccoon. To my mind he didn't just discover the name applied, he applied it himself; his kinship was with everything he wanted to save, all the potential experiments, not with his prototype path.

And that is also why it bothered me *much less* than it usually does when they mowed through minions and spared the final boss. Because they made it *Rocket*'s choice, and he chose in confronting his abusive father and disavowed God that *he would be Named by his choice to protect when possible, not just by his rebellion against the pattern set for him.* He was neither an heir of the Father's plan, nor a violent aberration who only existed to fuck it up.

He is Rocket Raccoon, and he's a Guardian of the Galaxy.

parent! Rocket Raccoon x child! Reader headcannons

Rocket's lines are in GREEN

Would never admit it to the others, or anyone else but you, but he's a real proud papa, and a total softie for you.

When he first met you, he say you were covered in bruises and your own blood, making matters worse was that you were almost still-born.

When he saw you, his parental instincts took over.

"I'm adopting that kid. And y'all ain't gonna stop me." He said as he held you in his arms.

Low key, very protective of you. He wants you to feel safe, especially considering he's a intergalactic mercenary.

When you were old enough, he started to train you to defend yourself.

Whenever either of you had a nightmare, he was right on top of it. Blanket, check. Pillow, check. Plushie, check. Him snuggled up with you, check.

One time, you two were playing hide and seek with the rest of the gang, and he was it. And when he was seeker, he was scary

When he found you and gave you a spook, you were only about 3 or 4 years old at that point, and you hadn't started training at all yet. But when he found you, his red eyes terrified you in the dark.

Would opt to be a hider with you and not a seeker.

Love bites. Would give you love bites as a sign of affection.

When it's just the two of you, he'll put your face to his neck fluff and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.

Anyone insults, hurts or abuses you? They have just signed their Death Warrant.

"(Y/N) is so friggin' ugly, I'll bet people would pay top dollar to have 'em killed." Some punk would say arrogantly.

"You've just dug your grave asshole..." He'd say in a low menacing voice.

Would probably torture the jackass for even thinking about hurting you. Like I said, overprotective dad vibes.

I'd like to think he can mutate his body at will but chooses not to.

On occasion, he'll bulk up in size, about as tall or taller than you, depending on how tall you are. He'd also be JACKED. At least I think he would be.

He'd totally let you hang from his muscled arms like a tree branch or a swing.

Overall, great dad material. 9.5/10.
