#taserface

[tobiasdrake]

I remember sitting in theaters, absolutely shocked by the movie's decision to kill off Yondu's entire crew. Those loyal to him are killed by Taserface's mutineers, and then the mutineers are killed by Rocket, Groot, and Yondu. The events on Yondu's ship are a complete bloodbath, sparing nobody.

And. Well. That's kind of the point of it. It's harsh, but it's earned. See, this is a movie about family, and it explores the theme of family in several ways.

That confrontation with Stakar made it clear that Yondu is unwelcome among the Ravagers because he broke the code. Yondu has nobody else. His crew are the only family he has.

But. Well. They aren't his family. They aren't even Ravagers, not properly. They're the men who followed Yondu in breaking the code. The men who learned from him that in the pursuit of profit, there are no lines that aren't worth crossing. They are what he molded them to be, and what he molded them to be is not a family.

Taserface is Yondu's karmic comeuppance for breaking the code and trafficking children. Yondu tries one last time to draw a line in the sand and say, "We don't do this." And Taserface comes forward to say, "Yes, we do. We do anything with no restrictions. That's what you shaped us to be."

I felt like I gotta share this cus i love my tiny blue man. Yeah I’m making a love letter game but it is now about telling your boss to finally give you a raise ( without getting killed on the way)

[justdealingwithsomeissues]

Taserface has a self-destruct suit strong enough to blow up a bunch of planets? And Simon can just hug him and muffle it it? and also just survive the blast?

Also, him surviving this blast like this is kinda darkly funny in comparison to what may or may not happen to him in about a year in the main universe.

What If...? 1x02 - What If... T'Challa Became a Star-Lord?

[tobiasdrake]

So in this movie, we learn that there's more to the Ravagers than just Yondu's crew. In fact, Yondu's crew are on the outs with the rest of the organization because Ravagers don't traffic children and Yondu does.

An argument can be made that Yondu didn't know he was trafficking these children to die. He just thought he was abducting kids from their homes and moving them across galactic borders to deliver them into the possession of a deadbeat who skipped out on their moms.

But that's not better. Yondu's exile is well-deserved.

DRINKING UP YOUR WORDS

GRIEVING! Jason Todd x FEM! Reader

In which you still haunt his thoughts.

“I read your diary every line, i wanna drink your words like wine.”

tw: mentions of death, self-harm if you squint, blood, injuries

au: where jason never died during the explosion, but you did

part one. part two.

Punch after punch, hit after hit. Blood seeps down from his head, a nasty mixture of blood and spit dripping from his mouth. His ears are ringing, the crowds chants and yells warbled. But even so, he can make out a distinct voice. A sweet, soft, familiar voice.

Jason. Jason. Jason.

She’s calling out, but from where? He stumbled around the ring, his opponent yelling in triumph. Jason turned and he saw the same hallucination he’s been having since he was fifteen. You.

You were standing there in your Batgirl costume, a costume that was short-lived on you. You looked the same as the day you put it on, your hair pulled back and out of your sweet face, your hands by your side, your nails even painted your favorite shade. But your smile was missing. That bright smile he can remember so clearly. Gone.

Jason. You called out again.

Smack.

He got distracted. His opponent punched him, rough, hard, sending him sliding into the concrete wall that lined the ring. Jason tried to get back up, pushing himself up on his bloodied palms, only to fall back and hit the hard dirt with a thud.

“And your winner is Taserface!”

Ugh. Did he seriously lose to some asshole named Taserface? He groaned as he got up while the crowd dispersed. People yelled at him, heckled him, demanding their money back for betting on him but he didn’t care. He staggered his way out of the ring and into the makeshift locker room to collect his earnings. He slung his duffel bag over his bruised shoulder and stumbled home to his shitty apartment.

Home sweet home, he guesses. He locks the door behind him and drops his duffelbag onto his creaky oak floor. He staggers off to his bathroom and turns on the shower. When he steps in, he lets the steam envelop him, healing his broken body. He didn’t like to bandage himself up after matches. He’d just sit in his pain, tell himself he deserved it.

For what he did to you.

He laid his head on his pillow that permanently stayed without a pillowcase. His gaze drifted over to his nightstand, he told himself he wouldn’t, that it’s only hurting him. But he couldn’t resist. He reached over, one hand steadied himself on the bed, the other reaching for a small book, engraved with your name. He laid back and gently opened the book with his scarred hands.

It made him cry every time. Your words written down on each crinkled page. The only thing that’s left of your hopes and dreams, splayed out on a paper, bared out for him to read without you there to scold him like you used to when the two of you were teenagers. How you wrote about how sad you were for Barbara, how nervous you were to fill in her shoes as Batgirl, how excited you were to work alongside him and Bruce.

It was your last entry that usually got to him because you had no idea you’d never write again. You had no idea that the next day Jason would make a stupid mistake and it’d cost you your future, it’d cost you everything.

The way it was written, in your sloppy handwriting, your childish abbreviations and your recount of your day at school, just hit him hard. You were only fifteen. Your sixteenth birthday was days away when it all came crumbling down. You wrote about how excited you were, how Bruce definitely had something special planned because he was acting ‘funny’.

God, it hurt so bad. His tears dripped onto the paper, it had always felt like his fault, like he was the reason you were gone. If he hadn’t went after the Joker that day, if he had only listened to Bruce, listened to you, maybe you’d still be alive. He closed the book, clutching it to his chest as he tried not to sob. He would probably spend the rest of his life reading your diary every night. It was the only piece of his best friend that he had left. His best friend that he loved and lost.

He would spend every night, for the rest of his life, drinking up your words.
