#Imma fail this presentation SPECTACULARLY

I don't get how the fuck GAP turns into glucose AND EVERYTHING I FIND GETS MORE CONFUSING

(yes, this is about photosynthesis)

Nice blog! I hope you're still doing the Rocket x reader. Alright....I'm 5'3, Colombian, annoyingly long black curly hair, brown skin color, like to think I'm intelligent, social, enjoy cartoons, cooking and baking. Drinking tea has become an obsession. Imma be honest, I am good at breaking the ice when meeting new people. I can have a temper, ask too many questions, am pretty clumsy, sarsactic punk and possibly the record holder for making the most TERRIBLE puns. I love bats.

Thank you! Think I’m back in the bullet-point groove, so, here is your shipping! Thanks for participating and hope you enjoy!

Befriending you:

It’s rare to run into another Terran, considering how vast and deep space can get, but, you bumped into Peter Quill in your quest for tea and his quest for Terran music. You got wrapped up in the Guardians of the Galaxy because of some object Quill was carrying that he was supposed to be delivering and, while you were getting to know him, got you all into trouble with authorities from more than one planet.

Your ability to strike up a lively conversation with pretty much anyone paired up with your slightly odd tendencies meant that you fit in the guardians seamlessly. It felt remarkably natural for you to be there and it was difficult for the others to imagine daily life without you.

However, at first, it felt like you didn’t impress Rocket much, since you were inquisitive and clumsy, which he thought was a terrible combination.

In reality, he rarely minds when you ask questions. He appreciates the company and enjoys showing off his skill.

He still worries about how clumsy you are and doesn’t let you handle delicate objects.

Except Groot, who he asks to look after you just to irritate you.

Every time you make a bad pun in Rocket’s earshot - every time - without fail, he punches you in the thigh. Not hard, just enough to reprimand you. He’ll climb under and over people to do it. He’ll chase you if you run. It doesn’t stop you. If anything, it encourages you.

Falling for you:

Rocket noticed his feelings for you, first, by missing you while you weren’t around.

If you and him are separated for a while, he’ll try and make a pun. It could be better or more clever than one of yours, but he’ll still just shake his head and grumble “It’s better when Y/N does it.”

He denies missing your jokes when you’re present.

He gets quiet and grumpy when he sees you getting along with someone new - which is often, since the rest of the guardians usually give a bad first impression, so, they need you to do a lot of democratic work.

No matter what you cook, he’ll eat it. He’ll be silent if he doesn’t like it. He’ll mutter “S’good,” in all other scenarios.

He likes when there’s only enough food ingredients for you to bake or cook for him, especially if Peter or Drax asks for some and you have to tell them “It’s just for Rocket.”

He keeps an eye open for anything that might be one of those “bats” that you love so much, but he has an easier time finding the space equivalent of tea. He’ll surprise you by buying you tea, hoping to be the first and only person to provide you with a warm feeling of familiarity that you seem to be searching for.

He’ll accept an offer to try newly purchased tea with you, but only if the others aren’t around. After a while, he becomes opinionated about it, delighting you with his interest in one of your favourite things.

His confession was clumsy and awkward.

After a spectacularly bad pun that was, honestly, probably your magnum opus, he blurted “It’s a good thing I love you-” he was going to add “or else I’d’ve shot you a long time ago,” but, realising his blunder, just sat there, not making eye contact, ears drawn back, hoping you didn’t hear it or thought nothing of it. You might have thought nothing of it, in fact, since the guardians considered each other family, but, his nervous reaction - and especially his abandoned threat - made you think twice.

You just laughed and said, “It’s a good thing I love you, too.”

The sweetness in his sigh of relief, followed by his shy smile lifted your spirits even higher and prompted you to his side to kiss his cheek. His smile widened. When he failed to contain it, he resorted to physically hiding it with his hand.
