“New thread on Reddit claims that each of the stripes on the
Guardians’ legs in prison represents a crime. This IS true, The color of
each stripe is a category (murder, arson, burglary, grievous bodily
harm). The pattern of each stripe explains a bit more exactly about the
crime and its severity (a sort of criminal law morse code).
However, it also claims the gray line on Rocket is indecent exposure, and this is NOT true.
The line designs were the product of our costume designer Alexandra
Byrne’s creative brain, and I wrote down and gave her the list of
convictions.(…) It’s
also important to note that these are just crimes they’ve been convicted for –
not crimes they’ve committed and gotten away with, which is probably a
lot.
Rocket’s
are mercenary activity, grievous bodily harm, arson (he blows up a lot
of stuff), escape from prison, and, I believe, public drunkenness. Quill’s crimes are penny-ante robbery, grift, criminal conspiracy (from
his gang involvement with the Ravagers), and having sex with members of
a royal family (consensual but on some planets considered an outrageous
crime for someone from his caste). Gamora keeps things simple with her long list of murders and assassinations, all at the behest of Thanos. And Drax’s crimes are grievous bodily harm, murder, and every variety of destroying stuff you can imagine.” – James Gunn
Dangit, now because of your tags on this I can’t scroll past it without gigging like an idiot for 5 minutes saying “Look at how small it is! LOOK AT HOW FUCKING SMAHAHAHALL IT IS!”
He and Rocket just spend the whole time talking shit about everyone and being assholes. Rocket thinks he’s fucking great. Everyone else not so much.
He and Nebula disappear sometimes and have sibling bitchfests.
Groot kinda reminds him of Hogun and he tells him as much. Groot responds…. predictably.
He delights in the fact he knows just enough about midgardian pop culture from Barton to ruin Star Wars prequels for Peter, who seriously considers the merits of shoving this guy out of an airlock.
Gamora can’t stand him until one day she and Nebula are talking about killing Thanos and he walks in and is like WHERE DO I SIGN UP FOR THIS MADNESS BECAUSE THIS IS THE CHAOS BULLSHIT I AM HERE FOR.
seriously just fucking thanos’ shit up with nebula and gamora and then going to Knowhere and getting blitzed together and he accidentally jotuns out at one point and Peter’s like, who cares, my foster-dad was blue, nebula’s blue and she’s kinda terrible, but whatever. terrible blue people are a thing in my life, no big.
I just want to boop this A+ excellent perfect headcanon right on its adorable little nose.
I wrote a little vignette about Loki and Rocket being assholes together as a prompt fill. I can definitely see them getting along.
