A Public Service Announcement:

Star-Lord is the handsomest, funniest, most modest guy around with the sweetest singing voice and the sickest dance moves. It’s an absolute privilege and delight to call him a friend. My days are enriched for knowing him and fuller for speaking with him.

Everyone adores him. They think he’s a righteous dude.





P.S. – Gamora, you shouldn’t leave your comm lying around unlocked. xoxo Star-Lord

Name one good reason why we shouldn’t.

[motivation]

It wouldn't be as amusing to me.

[nostalgiabomb]

What if I asked really nicely?

[motivation]

Define really nicely.

[nostalgiabomb]

With the kind of puppy dog eyes that a Disney princess would envy, and with a lot of unnecessary compliments regarding your person?

[motivation]

What's a Disney princess?

[nostalgiabomb]

A princess from Disney.

[ ... helpful, Quill.

But after a breath, he elaborates: ]

We had these movies back where I was from. They were mostly, like, animated retellings of fairytales or old legends and junk.

[motivation]

Like comics?

[nostalgiabomb]

Sorta, I guess.

[ He takes a breath, readying himself to continue, but he pauses instead, thoughtful. Then, ]

Have you not seen a movie?

[ He's not being judgey, here. He's just trying to clarify. ]

[motivation]

'course I have.

( but also no, not really?? )

[nostalgiabomb]

[ There's an almost skeptical beat of silence. Then, ]

What's your favorite, then?

[motivation]

Captain Apex.

( that's not a movie, that's a comic book series. and it isn't even dutch's favourite, it's her platonic life partner's favourite. )

[nostalgiabomb]

[ That's a completely new one on him, but it doesn't throw him off his groove too much. ]

Oh yeah? Who plays the lead role?

[motivation]

Captain Apex himself.

[nostalgiabomb]

So— Captain Apex. Plays himself.

What, was it an autobiographical movie? Something based on his memoirs?

[motivation]

Yes.

( she's on this path now. )
