enjoy your being

like tbh i think maria is a bitch, BUT the episode was also about gaslighting AND white woman tears and how white woman tears effect black women.

BUT maria still seemed kinda bitchy bc she immediately started being a bitch about verity and the only thing she really knew about verity was "shes the weird girl who always hung out in the computer lab and i started a rumor about her". they were in like early highschool it looks like.

but the fact that ten years later, maria is still a bitch about her and thinks so much of her is fake all because shes "weird" like kinda annoyed me

BUT she also was correct in feeling like the resume was fake. BUT she also just kept saying how weird she was and that was the whole thing is "shes weird, i dont like her".

BUT we also dont even know how much of what maria said is even what maria SAID. because verity is able to make anything the way she wants it if she speaks into her pendant. SO that also means maria may have just been like "oh hey i remember verity" and that be the end of it. but verity couldve spoken into her pendent to be like "maria is going to act just like how she did in highschool about me so i can still be the perfect victim"

so it was only through this movie that I realised how incredible nebula and rocket’s relationship really is, or rather could be if they had more screen time.

they have the exact same backstory. horrific and violent experiments were performed on them both by galactic assholes with god complexes, and obviously they have both been recovering and running from that their entire lives.

but also, their personalities are just super similar - closed off, rude, no-nonsense, angry, etc. and that means that they can relate to each other in the same way as each other. what I mean is, they have spent their lives suffering in silence, and are not the type of characters to have long heart to hearts and open up to those around them. but that’s okay, because they can suffer in silence together. they can wallow in their pain together. no words required, just pure understanding.

and the fact that they were the only main guardians left during the blip?? are we just going to overlook how close they would have gotten?? a close knit family unit reduced to two people?? literally the only people each other had left?? LIKE???

UGH and the fact that she gets him bucky’s arm for christmas. it was on a different planet. she had never celebrated or even heard of christmas before. but it was THAT important to her to give it to him?? and the looks on their faces!!?!? YES

A. Thanos knew how they were born and was also trying to push back the births of tiamut and many others as they need a high population to be born

And B. When Dr strange saw the future and their many fights against thanos its possible that he saw more than he was letting on, that he had to let half the population vanish both to bide time for earth and so that the avengers heroic deeds would inspire ajak to align herself with earth and betraying the celestials. Let's face it if they had beaten thanos in infinity war they wouldn't have had much time until tiamut was born and ajak wouldn't have swapped sides
