Collection of Rockets

Had to draw the rocket raccoon design made by @ochoocti

stop that

right now

stop.

it hurts.

Just for that I'm making more angst art.

In the meantime have Rocket in the trashcan.

Other than clothes I'm primarily thinkin about the relationships that he builds as a celestial because he has lost the guardians. He no longer has Groot, Gamora, Drax, Mantis, or Quill to bother so that leaves him with very few options. Currently his only active "friend" is galacta because she heard of a new celestial appearing as well as God of Stories Loki because I like the idea of that Loki existing. He can't really actively bother Loki for long and Galacta is usually hanging around earth so he doesn't see her often. The only other character I feel like I could get away with him becoming a friend with is Adam and Rocket in most of my universes hate Adam with a burning passion. The only reason Adam and him would become friends would be because Adam is the only one that would remember who Rocket was due to the soul gem. Of course theres still a mutual distain but its better than nothing in Rocket's case to have someone that at least remembers him.

Honestly Adam would probably be what kickstarts Rocket back into his old self because previously he would have been suffering the weight of loneliness and isolation because no one visited him. This would probably be done through Adam's way of saying "Get your shit together". Rocket would probably have been close to breaking if it wasn't that there was proof that there would be some way to make his old family know who he was. He'd probably find a way to where he can make a device that allows him to stay in a smaller form for longer while he's away from his planet just so theres the off chance he does run into the guardians again.

Gum you made me do math so you are getting a lesson out of this as well. I apologize. Luckily I've done this before when having to calculate the size of a giant bear in Dnd (it was 33ft tall).

First off I needed a reference of how big a celestial normally is. I came across this reddit post with a picture of eternals by the earth and a moon. I took that picture into my art program and used the earth and moon as measuring devices.

From there I searched up the diameter of the earth and moon and plugged in numbers where numbers were missing. Next up is that the human head is 1/8 proportionate to the rest of the body. Taking the measurement for the head alone and multiplying it by 8 gave me the height of a whole celestial.

Last two was finding how tall an average raccoon was relative to an average male humans height. I realized afterwards that Rocket is not around average height for a raccoon and so had to calculate it differently. Now I took the proportional percentage and multiplied it it the height of the celestial measured.

He is 165,288.8 Miles Tall at his largest size. I may have done the math wrong somewhere but idk where. If someone wants to double check it please be my guest.

If its just the guardians then it would be the ones who died in the initial battle for the power cosmic. Those would be as follows: Quill, Gamora, Drax, Groot, and Mantis. Nebula would have been back on knowhere doing another mission. Just imagine the guardians returning and Rocket is not there. So when she asks where he is one of them just goes "Whose Rocket?" and things just spiral from there.

Now on the other hand there is the situation where he made everyone forget who he was. That means no one besides other cosmic level beings even know who he is. Sure theres probably still pictures of him with the other guardians around somewhere but they probably got destroyed. This one means he is truly alone with only other cosmics being his friends + God of stories Loki.

That actually brings me to the next point about him. Regardless of what outcome, due to his loneliness and isolation he often is stuck replaying that scene of his friends dying in his head over and over again. He thinks of ways he could have avoided all of this and if it was even worth taking that job. At first it wasn't so bad but eventually it started to get a whole lot worse the longer he was alone on his planet. He would spend hours at a time not moving and just staring off into space as his mind made him overthink things. Since he was at first mortal before becoming a celestial, his brain hasn't adapted and probably wont be.
