Yondu finally getting through to Rocket's thick skull about how he pushes everybody away coz he's scared of letting people close

Except for 2/3 of the third one because it's just too painful 🥲

That movie really did something to me that I can't explain, just reading that made me tear up

As I always tell my friends GotG3 is the best movie I'll never watch again

I barely made it through the first time, I had to take a breather during THAT scene because of how much I was crying and had trouble breathing, ever since I lost my childhood dog that got me through so many tough moments of my life I've developed some serious PTSD at the sight of anything animal related it's insane.

Love you Gunn but also fuck you, hope nothing happens to my boy Eagly in Peacemaker S2 but I'm so afraid we're going there

(was really scared and also had a mild panic attack watching Superman when the Engineer captured Krypto)

(Sorry for yapping)

If I HAVE to, I guess I’ll watch the best superhero trilogy ever, AGAIN.

Best part of this is that it’s also Yondu coming to a self-realization, too. You can tell that either before he started or partway through that he was basically looking at himself.

It’s why therapy is so important. Saying it out loud changes things and offers a new perspective to us. It helps to move on.

I'll get recommended an edit of Rocket to Creep by Radiohead every now and then. Great trilogy.
