rocket smells nice. (headcanon whatever)

in my head, all the rockets i write for (and the ones i don't) have a scent. if you wanna make me real happy lmk your own rocket-smells-like headcanons or give me another rocket to dream up fragrances for. i'm happy to give any rocket (canonical or not) a bouquet

headcanons & imagines masterlist | main masterlist

"canon" rockets ~

eidos-rocket ~ i'm not technically writing for this guy (yet??) but i headcanon he smells like cedar & black pepper (he stole beard oil from some spartoi douche one time but it made his fur so healthy and glossy that he hasn't stopped using it), spiced caramel rum from mantlo's, iron, engine fuel, and gunpowder. burnt everbloom 'cause you know this guy smokes (i imagine it smells gingery).

universe-killer rocket ~ i don't write for this guy yet either, but i think about him way too often. burnt metal and high-iron-content meteorites. something like menthol ~ it activates your cold receptors, like you're breathing in the breeze right off a glacier. star anise & fennel. you'll be tempted to take a deep whiff of his fur but even if he decides not to kill you, you're probably still risking a lungful of toxic vibranium laser dust.

general mcu rocket ~ some kind of evergreen and foresty smell, petrichor maybe; something metallic like iron or copper, and something burnt and smoky. in the earlier years, he always smelled like some kind of cheap alcohol; in later years, a leatherlike smell from his armored-fiber uniform. i don't think this guy reads a lot of paper-books, but he definitely smells like 'em. (i use this as a template for a lot of "my" rockets)

general comics rocket (especially ewing) ~ angargal's limited batch of course (i suspect it smells like a combo of spiced bourbon and rich dark-caramel rum, once the overpowering scent of pure fuckin' alcohol has evaporated out). black-black-black coffee. dark chocolate. amber. vetiver. that burnt, gingery everbloom again.

skottie young's rocket ~ sweet almonds (see cicatrix-rocket's marzipan smell) and banana (from some kind of cousin to nitroglycerin). whatever he's using for jet fuel these days, which doubtless has a hefty dose of benzenes (sweet-smelling and actually intoxicating ~ though since we're talking about a sentient anthropomorphic raccoon i'm gonna go ahead and say the intergalactic space-faring community has figured out how to make 'em non-carcinogenic). you will get some sort of low-grade contact high if you huff his fur like you know you want to. probably also smells like some kind of alien hops, too (maybe acanti blubber ale if he's gotten any good contraband lately, though i imagine that smells like burnt tire).

"my" rockets ~

space pilot & sweatshirt girl ✩°｡⋆ rocket - campfires, strong coffee, and evergreen. amber and smoke. rich dark hot chocolate and yummy bourbon, when he's with you.

blackmail material ✩˚₊‧ ♡ rocket ~ sandalwood, oak, gunpowder. the undertones of some sort of alien citrus-fruit you've seen him eating (something between a plum and an orange), and what you think at first are mulling spices but later you realize it's just where your own Xandaran body oil has rubbed off onto his fur.

window across the galaxy *:･ﾟ✧ rocket ~ blue spruce, fallen leaves, oakmoss, ozone (or maybe that's just electricity). iron and copper, engine fuel.

florescence❀ rocket ~ campfires, wet stone, the peppery-resinous scent of the kind of machine grease he prefers (his own concoction). a faint hit of vanilla-mint-honeysuckle from groot's flowers, and the clove-like spices from your cider.

⭑˚.⚘𖡼𖥧𖤣 windfall 𖤣𖥧𖡼⚘.˚⭑ rocket ~ juniper, blackberry, and something like leather. a sharp and smoky scent, like laser-carved wood. on some occasions, a hint of yaro-root wine (which is basically a peachy hard cider, with a dangerously subtle alcohol flavor).

cicatrix .⋆☁︎ :･꧂ rocket ~ blue spruce, burnt wood, and a strong, rich, buttery-sweet marzipan from the broken-down components of his C4-adjacent explosives. petrichor, labdanum and camphor, and faint whiffs of engine fuel.

Literally my fav Marvel ship ever💕

[aliasrocket]

Rocket should be on the sexyman wiki. He has the angsty backstory, criminal record, distinctive voice, and it would be funny if he got an entry before a bunch of the human Marvel guys

Last one before I go. Anyway, one of my good mutuals @oolongteaboba has stated in the tags in one of their posts before that Rocket would definitely be bucky-level popular if he were human because he’s literally the whole package.

Bad boy vibes. Very emotionally and mentally AND physically damaged. Has the personality that makes girls go ‘I can fix him’ (and let’s be real that’s what we’ve all been doing amirite guys?) slight daddy issues. Tough on the outside soft on the inside.

This is LITERALLY the pussy magnet formula for fictional characters, especially men. It’s just that he’s a raccoon. It’s rather unfortunate.

But we all agree anon. 100%.

“And she feels that loss that she never had and he feels the loss of something he’s actually lost.” - James Gunn in GOTG V3 commentary

I feel like this hasn’t been spoken about before; Gamora’s loss that is felt in the scene of her and Peter saying farewell for the last time. They’re both emotional. She’s losing a life she did have at one point of her life- or would’ve had if she stayed in her own timeline. It’s a really emotional moment for not just Quill but Gamora’s as well.

Spoilers for guardians of the galaxy three, but I loved the animal rights message.

Not even just showing how horrible experimentation and factory farms are but also showing that their lives and stories matter too. Letting a dog be a hero.

The baby raccoon were just as important as rocket even though he was made to act more human.

They went back for all the animals on the ship not just the “superior life forms”.

The message with the high evolutionary being the bad guy and trying to make animals more human showed that there isn’t a higher life form or ideal species.

We’re all important, we all matter.

And being a raccoon isn’t a bad thing after all.

warm compress ☾.༊·˚⋆⭒

fluff | no use of y/n | gn reader | oneshot | word count: 3,432.

you've taken care of rocket when he's been hurt in the past. when he comes to visit you and finds you tired, in pain, and less-than-receptive to company, he decides to return the favor. can be read platonically or romantically. excerpt below.

WARNINGS: reader is experiencing abdominal pain attributed to hormonal/ovulation cycle. reader frustration-cries at one point. explicit description of pain.

“Answer me,” he snaps. “You’re in pain? Where?” God. It’s fucking embarrassing. You can feel your cheeks burning and you just want to crawl back into your pile of fleece warmth and put on your favorite old movie for the sixth time. Or maybe rewatch that comfort-show for the fourth. Rocket’s relentless, though. As per frickin’ usual.

Come and Get Your Hug #1: Rocket Racoon Link to timelapse video:

Opal Opossum × Rocket Raccoon

Opal is the new version of my oc Pearl

[aliasrocket]

“Who are you?” “Rocket Raccoon. Were you expecting a subject code?”

some Rocket Raccoon specific prompts modified from my requests and some of my own drafts that I’m unable to write. Do tag me if you get to any of these! <3 (I might use one of these in the near future, but let’s see)

Rocket and you don’t work out because your relationship with him was pure sexual and he caught feelings, and didn’t know you did too. He has someone new, but can only think of you when he’s with them (sexually or romantically, up to you.)

Rocket wakes up from a nightmare and he’s thrashing in his sleep before he wakes up in cold sweat. He’s in your bed and you help him get water and calm down, and once his breathing is stable you ask, “Who’s Lylla?” (established relationship.)

Two routes : love triangle route or normal route. (Love triangle) really good friends with Peter Quill, but Peter has always wished you were more. OR (Normal) you’re Peter’s sister/good friend period. After hearing he’s visiting Knowhere again, you go to meet him and he formally introduces you to the leader of the guardians, Rocket Raccoon.

you work a bartending job on Knowhere and know the regulars pretty well—especially the brooding Raccoon who is always either sitting in the corner of the bar or celebrating loudly in the center with the rest of the guardians.

Rocket takes care of you after a long night./You take care of Rocket after a long night.

You begin a relationship with Rocket despite his warnings, and as he said, he fucks up. Repeatedly. You try to talk to him but it turns into a fight.

Rocket seems sadder than usual. Not just sadder, but more irritable, more silent, and he’s been eating less. Every time you try to ask him about it he’s always saying he has to leave for commissions. Could also work with Reader being the one who’s sad. (establish relationship.)

You’ve known Rocket for a while along with the rest of the guardians (Kraglin, Adam, Groot, Phyla) and you became friends with them after running into them often while hanging out with Nebula. One day, you get invited on a fun cruise ride with the guardians, and while the ship floats in space you all get drunk and decide to play some party games.

Another rocket interaction, this time with namors freaks
