#c: mantis

"So," he started as he walked into the common area of the Avengers' quarters, bringing breakfast for both of them. "How do you feel after throwing your first party on Earth?" Johnny sat the food down on the table. "You did good." ; @guardianmantisx

"Wanda... This is for you," Mantis said as she held in her arms a black kitten. "I thought... I thought it was a Flerken!" Giving Wanda the cat, Mantis took a few steps back. "If it is a Flerken, then we're both going to die... probably. But if it's not, it might help you find proper emotional support!"

"Oh..." Wanda almost whispered in surprise as Mantis appeared behind her with a black kitten in her arms. Before she could react, the woman was putting said kitten in her arms and she automatically held it against her chest. "I....don't know what a flerken is." She admitted as she looked back up at Mantis.

"But this seems like a normal kitten...." She assured her a few moments later. She smiled softly when Mantis suggested that the cat might help her get the emotional support she needed. "Mantis, where did you get this kitten?" She thought it wise to double check, the Guardians weren't really au fait with property ownership.

"Baby, you are up way too early after a party like that. Which was amazing. A+, by the way." April rubbed her eyes as she walked into the kitchen, pouting at her roommate. "But still. Too early." ; @guardianmantisx

@itsmntis

there was a sort of permanence to things that rocket wasn’t accustomed to.

how sad was it that he struggled with the same thing that babies did? those little idiots would get surprised when someone moved their hands to make a stupid face at them. they would react like the world had started spinning off its axis just because something that wasn’t there a second ago, was suddenly there. babies were losers.

but rocket was the same way. after escaping the high evolutionary he convinced himself that people weren’t ever going to stick around. that way, they could come and go and he wouldn’t be surprised. he wouldn’t be hurt. he wouldn’t be left to the mercy of his pain and rage. death wouldn’t be able to shock him into cries of despair as he stood over his lifeless friend’s body ever again.

it couldn’t. because he wouldn’t let it. because permanence wasn’t real.

the guardians changed all that. it wasn’t a quick shift, though. rocket wasn’t like clay, soft and malleable. he was like stone, tough and cracked but still holding strong. the guardians chipped away at him with chisels, managing to open him up little by little over the years. the process hurt. they didn’t mean to cause him any pain, he knew that. but every attempt to crack him open got closer and closer to things he had buried away— the soft center underneath the scars. it terrified him.

the guardians taught him that permanence was real. even after most of them disappeared in a cloud of dust when thanos snapped his fingers, they came back. gamora died and somehow even she was back.

they saved his life and being away from them was harder than he was willing to admit. converging on earth was a necessity but the truth was that rocket didn’t need an excuse to meet up with his friends. his family.

seeing mantis again, standing on his ship, almost made him giggle from joy. once he knew they were both on-world he reached out as soon as he could and invited her to stop by.

it was instinct, but rocket made sure to drop his grin before she turned around. “so, you didn’t get eaten by those big ugly space monsters huh?” he allowed himself to smirk— it wasn’t the same as a smile, after all. there was a question he wanted to ask her, and it made him nervous. so he deflected for the moment.

The fact that in the end Drax wanted to go with Mantis to protect her even when she showed she can do it by herself...

Those two have one of the most interesting relationships from the Guardians (along with Peter + Rocket or Peter + Gamora or Rocket + Groot), since Vol 2 we knew they would become great friends and that concept was stronger in the Holidays Special, the rough guy and the calm girl that combined result in pure chaos.

The fact that Drax even cried a little when Mantis was saying "bye" even if she didn't say nothing, just waved her hand, it was like let go best friend, mate, sister... Both of them grew a lot as persons, and that finale was everything to let us know they're gonna trace their own way.

For my bestie @lmanburgseulogy. I drew her two hyperfixations together: c!Eret and praying mantises. I hope I made her proud. :D

The text up there may be a bit hard to read, so I’ll put it down here too

Wilbur: DAMNIT! Eret’s gone again!

Niki: I think she’s looking at bugs again.

Wilbur: ofc he is

Happy hyperfixating @lmanburgseulogy :3

[knightwhoisni]

it amuses me to no end that out of all the members of foxhound you see onscreen in mgs1, the guy who looks like he just ended his shift at a bdsm club and the cowboy cosplayer are the ones who are the closest to being appropriately dressed for the sub-zero temperatures of shadow moses island. everybody else just straight up has their tits out.

Another oc hi. This is mantis she is here 2 party and make music

[hubrisdescent]

@sadistpet said : ‘ You do not think like other men. You are unpredictable. That will serve you well. ‘ HEHE for mantis >:3c

Is well aware of what men think of. Is forced to listen to every loud, nauseating thought that pops into their otherwise empty skulls, it was a nightmare just trying to separate them from his own. So why does everyone else treated it like a gift? How this power or whatever it is he's capable of, would 'serve him well' is still one thing that is beyond his comprehension.

He looks up to the older man, a man with a level of rank, which as he understood it meant he had, to some extent, wisdom that not all others possessed. So he askes. ❝ Serve me well in doing what? ❞ It was a sincere question.

@guardianmantisx asked: 💤  for  a  lazy  starter

"I can'tttttt do anything else," he complained as he crossed the gym to where she was sitting. Johnny plopped down beside her and laid his head in her lap, pouting up at her as he said, "I hurt in places I didn't know existed."

[ofcrimsonenchantresses]

@celestialmantdonna liked for a starter <3

Wanda was sat on her sofa, watching some dumb television drama and enjoying her relaxing day. She had barely moved all day, only to get snacks or go to the bathroom. Arvad had come to lie on her lap for a bit before disappearing off to play with some of his toys but now he was padding into the room, meowing loudly and pawing at Wanda's foot. "What is it, buttercup, what's wrong?" She asked curiously in sokovian, running her fingers through his fur. Both of them looked up when there was a knock at the door. "Let's go see who that is."

She stood, letting the blanket she'd been wearing fall onto the sofa and beginning to the front door. Wanda undid the latch and swung the door open, smiling when she saw who it was. "Mantis! This is a surprise!" She told her. Arvad meowed in greeting and began running himself on Mantis' legs. "Arvad missed you, it seems."

@dragon-mantis ey ey ey i did a thing, i hope you see the vision :)

"Little boat, big ocean I'm the girl with the copper spyglass Who prays that today she will spot her shore All at once a lighthouse All at once through the copper spyglass A light telling me to lean in on the oar I start to row"

Gamora: Mantis what the hell did you do to them?

Mantis: Nothing! They said they wanted to try puppy play so I made them a puppy

Gamora: That’s not what they meant. You need to end the- *sees you on your knees with your tongue out*…end their whining, and I have just the idea
