Oh my god this comic

AND HES ACTUALLY REALLY COOL SOMETIMES???

Groot is the only one who can do "Air jail" without repercussions because everyone else gets bitten and/or scratched on sight (privileges of being the favorite child)

Also i really hope Drax visits the guardians very often because i have serious doubts about Rocket's babysitting ability

star lord grounded i think is now one of my all time favorite runs i've read, like genuinely

the writing? AMAZING

the art? EVEN MORE AMAZING

couldn't get enough of it tbh

(Starlord Grounded, Issue 6)

if anything happens to him in vol 3 ill be inconsolable

look guys i actually did some spirit designs

[ID: the Hargreeves' spirits in the Paranatural au - or at least, the five of them that are kids in this au.

Luther's is an ape that looks like his body from the comics. Diego's is a creature that looks a bit like a small porcupine. Allison's is a large snake with its mouth duct taped shut. Klaus' is a blue raccoon with three eyes and a pink tail, and Viktor's is based off of the White Violin from the comics, except its head transforms into reaching arms. End ID.]

sorry, the ID got REALLY long this time. that's a summary for anyone scrolling, theres a more detailed one under the cut!

[ID: Luther's spirit is labelled First Simian In Space: THE MARTIAN APE. He looks like the ape that supplied Luther's body in the comics, drawn in the paranatural style; blue, with one eye. He is wearing an astronaut helmet and sitting in a coin operated rocket ship that is much too small for it. He has transformed the world around him into a scifi martian landscape; cardboard standups with doors and lockers scribbled on them are the only indication of the real world. Luther is sprawled on the ground staring in shock, while the Martian Ape says "Y'know, you should totally just kill your dad".

Diego's spirit is a very small creature that looks a bit like a porcupine.

Panel 1: Diego holds his spirit in his hands and says, "So, what's your name?". His spirit responds "I am called..."

Panel 2: A caption appears; Projectile Extraordinaire: KRAKEN. The image is in full color, focusing on Kraken, which glowers cutely and shows off her spines.

Panel 3: The same shot as panel one, except Diego now looks very skeptical. He says "..." and then "Why." Kraken responds "It sounded cool."

Allison's spirit is a giant green snake coiled around a tree branch, with a pattern down his back that looks like open mouths.

The first two images are centered on Allison, who is scowling in both. Someone unseen says "It can force people to do things, honey!" and "It's too dangerous to leave you alone with it." and finally, "So we fixed it."

The final image is of the spirit. He is captioned Muzzled Mind Controller: THE RUMOR. His mouth has been duct taped shut. He does not look pleased.

Klaus' spirit is a blue raccoon with dark purple legs and a fluffy striped pink tail. It also has three eyes.

Panel 1: The large colored closeup of Klaus' spirit. It is captioned Mystical Conartist: THE SEANCE.

Panel 2: Klaus asks it "With a name like that, what's your power?" The Seance, its nose just high enough to fit into frame, replies, "Oh, I can sense ghosts"

Panel 3: Klaus looks supremely unimpressed. In the background, a ghost says "Hi" to Allison and Luther, and they say "Oh, hey" back.

Panel 4: Klaus asks, "Seriously?"

Panel 5: The Seance, viewed from above, says "Hey, I can sense them even when they're not visible! Like behind walls and stuff!"

Panel 6: The Seance adds "Also I can float." It is demonstrating, floating about eye level with Klaus and emitting a cloud of cyan spectral energy as it does so. Klaus looks more pleased with this and says "Okay, that one's pretty good."

Viktor's spirit is a Wight, a spirit so warped by rage and pain that it has permanently been changed, its spectral energy has become white, and has gained massive, devastating power. It looks a lot like the design of the White Violin in the comics, but it manifests too many or too few arms from where its head should be.

There are three images of it. In the first, it is kneeling. It has manifested six arms in varying degrees of completeness, and all of them look sad.

In the second, the matter of its head has split into many small pieces that almost look like parts of mouths, save for two clawing hands. It screams, in the Wight spirit language from Paranatural, WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME.

In the third, the largest, its knees buckle as it stands and manifests one reaching hand. It is captioned Violent White: THE WHITE VIOLIN. End ID]

I adore Rocket and Groot’s relationship. They’re just two weird outcasted creatures of the Marvel universe who found each-other and had each others backs when the whole rest of the galaxy treated them like freaks. They don’t get along all the time and can have their (old married couple energy) arguments, but at the end of it all you can tell they care about one another, even if Rocket is to emotionally stunted for his own good to admit it out loud most of the time. They also have a ton of sweet moments together, from Rocket going through the trouble of traveling to earth, a planet he hates, just so Groot can be happy and (mild spoiler) reunite with an old friend of his in the 2015 Groot comic series, to them going on a beach vacation together in the Rocket Raccoon comics, to Rocket Having an I ♥️ Trees mug in Marvel’s Rocket & Groot Cartoon, to Groot and Rocket straight up saying “I love you” to eachother in the Guardians: Grounded comic, the Gotg Eidos game, and the Telltale game etc. (which now that I think about it, I think rocket has probably said “I Love You” to Groot in most gotg related media more times combined than he has to any of his canon female love interests… so do with that info waht you will…). I could go on, really. Tbh, I do slightly prefer and love Groot and Rocket’s close platonic friendship as is, but I would be lying if I didn’t believe there’s at least more than one universe in the Marvel multiverse where they’re married.

spoilers: I have a preferred trope/formula that I lean into quite hard (girl falls first; raccoon falls harder) and while I do really love tragic fanfic, I firmly believe rocket's suffered enough of that so it's only happy endings here (even if it takes a minute to get there). Well, more or less, anyway.

I wanted to say something for an anonymous comment about feeling less embarrassed of having feelings for Rocket. I must say I totally understand that.

A month ago, when GOTG VOL 3 was released, I went to see it at the cinema with my mother, I spent the whole movie very excited for Rocket, but right in that scene where he is on the verge of death and he meets Lylla again, SOMETHING INSIDE IT CHANGED ABOUT ME, because when they were hugging I realized I was JEALOUS, and in my mind I thought "OH NO, IT'S HAPPENING TO ME AGAIN", because I always fall for characters that might be unconventional or weird to other people , then I start looking for fics and I realize that there are not many for the same reason, or there are many where it is more platonic and I think "IT IS NOT ENOUGH" And it's more complicated for me because my first language is not English and in my language there is NOTHING. So meeting people who write Rocket the way I imagined really makes me very happy. I'm even thinking about writing some one shots myself but it's hard, I've never written NSFW and I find it kind of funny that I want to start with Rocket.

Oh my god this was absolutely sweet.

Yes!! Everyone IT IS OKAY TO LIKE UNCONVENTIONAL CHARACTERS. LITERALLY, IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL!! JUST BE YOU!!!

And I’m really sorry there isn’t much fics in your language, but on the bright side I’m really happy that you’re at least able to read and write in english even if it isn’t your first language!

Also, yeah, in my experience, besides sighing the whole goddamn movie (except for the first 10 mins, I will give myself that,) I remember leaving the theatre in a sigh and going on ao3 like “ah shit, here we go again” bc this is the 1982838th time I’ve visited ao3 for some really obscure ship or an x reader fic for a very underrated character.

And about that Rocket smut, I understand how can it be daunting and I’d really love to help you!

Ykw, let me make a quick guide for anyone who’s scared of writing Rocket smut!! But for those of you who wouldn’t wanna read some real ugly/stupid stuff, don’t press the ‘keep reading’ line, haha.

a quick (and definitely unhinged) guide to writing Rocket smut XD

OBVIOUS NSFW WARNING!!! It gets ugly guys please THIS IS YOUR WARNING I’M NOT JOKING!!

If you’re uncomfortable with heavy nsfw please turn away now!!

written by aliasrocket (89P13 on ao3 hehe)

Suitable for any smut involving Rocket! (Looking at you guys, roquill shippers. Don’t worry, I welcome all ships on my blog <3)

This is supposed to be a writing smut guide specifically meant for Rocket so I’m not gonna go into the basics of writing smut, but if you’re a total beginner, here’s some pointers to help :

the genitals, legs, muscles, brain : main places that tend to be the most stimulated, exhausted or absolutely wiped. That being said, you can use these as a starting point for describing the feelings the characters or the reader may feel in the moment.

besides the main thing, you could try to set the mood by maybe mentioning how the moans sounded like, (screams, squeals, cries etc.) and other things the characters were doing to ground them in the moment, like gripping the sheets, gripping the other person’s shoulder or hips, etc.

Okay, so, about Rocket in particular …

Yeah, of course writing smut about a fucking Raccoon isn’t going to be fucking easy. But don’t worry, as someone who has studied all 3 gotg films and slowed down quite possibly every single Rocket clip in existence (enough to know Rocket … is genuinely CANONICALLY is very particular/skilled with his fingers, he knows where he’s putting them and knows EXACTLY which buttons to press on any tech, so … definitely good at using his fingers if you catch my drift) I think I might have gotten the hang of it to help some of you guys out.

So first off, when I write Rocket smut I always imagine he’s his comic height instead of his mcu height (don’t search it up, you’re just gonna be depressed about it trust me) so all you have to know is that if he pressed you up against a wall his head would be around your shoulder blade area. For missionary, he’s probably around your collarbone.

Rocket canonically has sharp and absolutely grown out nails. No, they’re not retractible. I’ve done research on this, but if you’d like to write him fingering someone, Rocket can have his nails trimmed.

It would hurt if Rocket bit you. Like, it would fucking bleed. So I’m sorry to say to those biting kink girlies (those are me hi) but Rocket can only afford to give you or someone else some nibbles on the skin unless you guys want some serious bloodplay on your hands. This is because he has protruding fangs on both his upper and lower row of teeth, his lower ones more prominent than the top.

Rocket can, however, eat you out. Don’t wanna get too into depth with this but basically his tongue can stick out his muzzle pretty well and his nose makes for a good clit-stimulator HAHAHAH

!!! : (this is going to be a description of the average raccoon penis so skip this if you don’t wanna know about this because you can DEFINITELY write Rocket smut without having to know this so please be free) I had to research this for a very specific request (pls ily shameless anon/pos) and I almost cried out of the loss of my sanity but anyway, raccoons have a baculum bone which is basically a bone in their penis that helps with copulation, its average length is about 4 inches but can be longer if you catch my drift. The genital itself is a like a rod with a ‘spiky’ end (it’s not actually spiky but it looks that way) compared to human genitalia, kind of like a cat’s but much longer and it is a very dark shade of brown or just plain black. Feel free to use any of these for a possible description if ever you need it, though I never really talk about it in fics, especially the whole ‘spiky’ thing. That being said, Rocket should not have an issue with size, as the the average human male genitalia is about five inches, meaning he can hit anyone’s g-spot just fine.

I might add more points if I have any more but this is all I got right now. I really hope this somehow encouraged you to write that nsfw fic you wanted, and just know everyone’s got interests, it’s fine if not a lot of people irl are into Rocket that way, because that’s literally what the internet is for!

I wonder when rocket first tried pizza?

Each canon is gonna be different, but my headcanon is he got to try it shortly after the War in Wakanda. He was on Earth for at least three weeks pending the snappening. I don't know anyone on Earth who goes three weeks with no pizza.

Now for comic Rocket, There are at least 3 instances I can think of at the top of my head where he's shown associated with pizza. There may be more.

In my least favorite comic portrayal of Rocket (Rocket Raccoon 2014 Issue 7) he describes pizza to the character Jink

Then him and Groot are shown having Pizza in Groot (2015) issue 6

Issue 2 of Rocket Raccoon: Grounded (2016) shows him eating pizza while sitting on a trash bin (assuming it was found in the trash because he was seen earlier eating a soft pretzel from a trash)

Thoughts on Rocket’s origin stories? I mean the OG, the 2012/13 retcon, the Cates run and the film ofc (Telltale and SE optional)

oh man rocket’s backstories is kind of a whole mess. i probably need to gather my thoughts more but fuck it and i’m also mainly going from memory so feel free (all of you!!!) to correct me if i get stuff wrong! i wouldn’t say i’m a rocket expert and i’m mainly just going to ramble.

comics first. the og is absolutely batshit insane. ranger rocket and clowns and asylums. it’s bananas. once rocket made his Grand Return in a:c and gotg 2008 it’s also… never really referenced again right? except for his brief stint in the annihilators post 2008 run. i think it’s unique but equally i can understand why they would want to ground it more (as much as a talking raccoon can be grounded) as gotg went on. it’s also why peter’s earlier adventures have been brushed to the side, but i think it’s notable that ewing is the guy who brought both of these aspects back in a way (more on strange tales in a minute!).

the young series was yeah. idk. blackjack and rocket acting divorced i guess and the moment where rocket breaks down after realising he IS the only one of him was emotional but overall that series was really unfocused and messy and I wasn’t a fan of how rocket was written in it, even though the art was great. cates i thought did ok but it didn’t really give anything people weren’t expecting?

the more recent strange tales comic by ewing had it as if rocket had false memories (?) of his og shenanigans and the reality was much darker (in line with what cates put on page, darker, experiments etc) and was something he didn’t WANT/couldn’t remember. i guess you could call it mcu synergy but seeing as the mcu hadn’t explored any of it it’s also not quite right. more a ‘grounded’ retcon. the false memories aspect is a way to make it all fall in line even if it’s confusing. i think ewing does a good job of writing rocket and i’d like to see him take a real crack at making his multiple origins work in tandem.

overall in general though i LOVE the overarching idea that rocket was made as this experiment because it puts him in line with other, more ‘perfect’ (debatable but certainly on the surface) experiments he finds himself allied with, adam, phy. i wish these kinds of similarities was something explored more, but equally i like that it’s never expressly signified despite being so obvious once noticed.

so i actually think more came from telltale than people give it credit for. I think even so much of gotg3 came from that game. even having lylla in the lab and wanting to see the sky. very heartbreaking the first time i played it and rocket breaking down to peter over lylla was really, REALLY moving. made me tear up. there’s no way gunn wasn’t inspired by this in vol. 3. same can be said of vol. 3 i guess. made me cry and i liked that the relationship between rocket and the “scientists” that made him was given a face and explored w rocket and the high evolutionary, unlike in the cates run and the games.

eidos game i think also did a good job though some of rocket talking about his past didn’t always feel earned when those conversations would trigger at the beginning of the game. i liked that they brought in his og origins by making it stories he would tell the other experiments while he was captured. i also liked his fear of water beginning almost as a joke in the early hours of the game but developing into a significant aspect of his trauma and something that he has to overcome. that was a nice moment. beyond that making his origin story be the kree is kind of insane to me because what the hell would the kree want with a raccoon super soldier. guess we’ll never know!!

ultimately i think comic rocket is a mess right now and something needs to be done about it (get ewing on the phone for all your guardians needs x) and the adaptations all benefit from being more focused.

he should do this to me

Official Trash Panda Lego Set

Alright, so we all know about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even people who don’t follow movies know about it. There’s no escape! Anyways, as a result of this, one of my favorite Marvel characters has become a household name and gotten a lot of merch, and my wife is wonderful and likes to get me presents, so this week, we’re looking at “Lego Rocket Mech Armor!”

Rocket Raccoon’s comic backstory is a hell of a trip, so we’re just gonna do the barest skim of it. He’s a raccoon who, along with a ton of other animals, was enhanced to act as a caretaker for a planet used to house insane humans, basically a planet-sized sanitarium. He would eventually leave his planet, lose his memory, and become the angry, foul-mouthed rodent we all love from “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

I love Rocket in the movies. He absolutely delights me, and I also adore Legos, and, shockingly, I love robots. So the idea of a Lego Rocket Raccoon piloting a mech suit just scratches that special little spot in my heart and makes my brain release all the good happy chemicals.

Let’s start by talking about Rocket himself. This is honestly my favorite Rocket minifigure. I love his goggles and his “I am death incarnate with a gun” grin. It’s just so quintessentially the character. Until just recently, all the Rocket minifigures had grey fur, which is more realistic, but the brown fur this minifigure has feels so much more lively, which I really like. Rocket’s outfit is pretty straightforward. He’s got a tan jacket over an orange jumpsuit with a green shirt visible at the collar. It’s not too much, it’s pretty simple, and it works. The thing that really deals the deal for me, though, is the fact that this Rocket, unlike all the other ones, has no tail. Due to how the tail is made and attached on the minifigures that have one, it tends to get in the way of pegging them into the ground, takes up extra space, and makes it look like Rocket’s shirt’s too small and a bit of stomach’s sticking out. By losing the tail, this Rocket does away with all those issues.

Now that Bucky’s made of Lego, he’ll have an even easier time stealing that arm.

The mech suit also looks really great, and it feels like an extension of Rocket’s outfit with the matching colors, which is really great. One arm ends in a cannon that shoots studs when you rotate it, and has more power than you’d expect, and the other arm has a mechanical raccoon hand. In fact, there are raccoon touches all over this thing, making it feel less like a real mech suit and more like Rocket’s own body with some upgrades, provided you overlook how small his head looks when he’s in the suit. 

Little rodent, big gun.

My second favorite detail, though (after the big-ass gun arm, of course), is the raccoon tail on the back of the mech suit. It feels like an extra bit of fun the designers had and adds a very nice visual touch to the whole thing.

Face down, tail up in the air. So dignified.

In terms of articulation, Rocket has the basic Lego minifigure articulation, minus the leg articulation. Since he has the “small character” short legs, his legs don’t actually move. His mech suit, meanwhile, has pretty decent articulation. The waist rotates, the shoulders, feet, and legs are ball jointed, and the fingers can move. The chest opens up to reveal an empty space Rocket stands in. There’s no controls or anything inside the chest, but considering you close up the chest after standing Rocket in the suit, that’s not a problem. Unlike a lot of the earlier Lego Marvel mech suits, Rocket’s suit doesn’t have elbow or knee articulation, so that’s a little disappointing, but I can live with it. The suit also has decent balance, and the jointed feet make standing up the suit really easy. In addition to all that, the mech has adjustable boosters on its back. It is made of joy.

Rocket makes sure to lay out his finest suit before formal events.

Other than the suit, Rocket has one other accessory: a gun (of course). It’s built from three pieces, and looks very impressive in Rocket’s hand. While he can’t hold it while in the suit, the suit’s gun arm has a clip that can hold the gun, which I really like.

“Alright, you primitive brickheads, listen up! THIS is my BOOMSTICK!”

The set as a whole is really easy to build. My wife gave it to me about 30 minutes before we were expecting guests, and even with my really, really short attention span, I had the whole thing built. The lack of elbows and knees contribute a lot to the ease of construction.

Sidearm.

The “Lego Rocket Mech Armor” is available at mass retail for about $15 and is aimed at kids and people who love awesome things. Do I recommend it? Absolutely. It’s a fun, quick build that results in a really fun toy with a massive gun. Definitely grab it now. This is JS signing off and wishing you Happy Toy Hunting!

¿What if Thanos won in Avengers Endgame?

To: Josh Brolin, the Russo Bros., and Marvel Studios

                                                         Intro

¿What if events went differently in the MCU? What if Thanos won in Avengers Endgame? In today’s fan fiction we’re going to be exploring what would have happened if Thanos had ultimately won and blipped all of the heroes in Avengers Endgame? ¿How could this affect the multiverse going forward? This is my own take of events taking inspiration from the 1991 Infinity Gauntlet comic with elements from the Ultimate Marvel comics while following the mythology of Thanos and the Avengers and the timeline of the MCU. Without wasting anymore time sit back and relax and enjoy this fan fiction.        

                                                    Prologue  

Today’s story will be different from the ones I have told u previously because this will take place not just in an alternate universe but also the setting will be in the TVA. ¿Why u ask? Well there is a story to it and I’m here to tell u all of it. I am the Watcher. I am ur guide to these vast new realities. Follow me and pounder the question. What If… Now the one person that we need to look at who is responsible for this story is none other than Thanos himself. He might have won once and failed the 2nd time in our universe mainly thanks to the actions of the Avengers but in the universe that leads to this story he won twice. And if u wanna find out what happened next well let’s go back to where it all began.

                                                    Act 1

The events of Endgame were playing out the same as in our universe. The Avengers from 2023 traveled back to the future after gaining all of the Infinity Stones. Tony created the Gauntlet with Hulk to acquire putting it on to Snap. During this time Thanos has gained knowledge about how the Avengers were trying to fix something that he did in the future. With the future Nebula captured and his plans were set in motion the evil 2014 Nebula has returned taking her counterpart’s place. She will play a key role in the defeat of the Avengers in this all new different universe. Like in our universe the gateway was opened and the Sanctuary II was unleashed bringing Thanos and his Black Order to 2023. The ship obliterated the Avengers Compound almost turning it into ash. With the Avengers trapped below Thanos was ready to give the final strike and gain ultimate power by completing his plan at rebuilding a universe in his own vision. Captain America, Thor and Iron Man like in our universe looked at Thanos who was just sitting on the battlefield staring in the distance. He knew that with all those stones he would complete his goals and finish what his alternate counterpart couldn’t finish. The heroes trapped below broke free as Ant-Man, Hulk, War Machine and Rocket Raccoon helped each other to get out of the burning rubble only this time something would change and here is where our story begins. Clint who had the Gauntlet in our universe still got it by finding it in the destroyed rubble. Thor, Captain America and Iron Man engaged in a tight battle with Thanos like in our universe but from this point on the story will take a very different turn of events. Thanos would play it more cautious as he was going up against 3 of the strongest Avengers. Knowing this he had used the Avengers powers against one another. Steve Rogers threw his shield at Thanos and Thanos nearly missed the attack and used the sword to deflect it. The shield swerved back at Steve who was hit in the chest hard. Cap fell back as Thor charged towards Thanos. Thor screamed throwing his axe at Thanos with Thanos missing the attack and Iron Man summoned a nano balde through his hand coming in from the other side. Thanos threw Thor towards the blade and Thanos laughed manically as Thor screamed in pain dropping to the ground. Tony was shocked to see that he struck Thor in the gut with his nano blade. Thanos grabbed his sword and was ready to kill Tony but Steve summoned Thor’s hammer just in the nick of time like in our universe. Tony held Thor and asked if he was going to be okay. Thor told Iron Man to continue fighting. Tony engaged charging Thanos. Iron Man used all of his rocket boosters to hit Thanos but this time Thor’s hammer hit Iron Man who fell to the ground stunned. The mad Titan tooked the opportunity by throwing his sword towards Captain America. The sword hit the shield breaking through it. With Thor and Iron Man down it was only up to Steve to fight Thanos. Thanos ran towards Captain America pushing him to the ground. His shield rolled over and Steve was crawling towards it trying to get it. Thanos slammed his foot down on the shield as Steve was trying to reach for it but Thanos crushed his hand. Steve screamed in pain yelling for help causing Thor to summon Stormbreaker but Thanos grabbed it in the nick of time turning around and cutting off Captain America’s arm. He was screaming in intense pain. Thor flew towards Thanos but was hit in the gut by Stormbreaker. Thor was dying and Thanos smiled pushing the sword into his chest further. Iron Man and Captain America watched in horror as they saw Thor drop to the ground. He was still alive but not moving. Cap passed out from the immense pain and Thanos walked towards Iron Man who was the only one standing. The mad titan’s army were swarming into the battlefield but it was too late. Thanos told Tony that it was never personal but he said that he was happy to know that he was given the gift to right the wrongs with the Infinity Stones. He was happy that they collected it for him and he would turn his universe into his own. Iron Man slowly raised his arm telling Thanos that he would never win and fired a repulsor ray but it was deflected and bounced off Thanos’s sword hitting Tony in the shoulder. Tony fell back with the rest of the Avengers as they were defeated.

                                                       Act 2

Meanwhile, below Avengers Compound Thanos’s Outriders were attacking the other members of the Avengers. Hawkeye ran into a broken hallway underground but was cornered. They were coming from each side until Nebula from the left side of the hallway started killing all the Outriders by stabbing them in the face one by one. Clint was shocked and tried to communicate with the Avengers but there was no signal. Clint took a breath falling on his one knee. He looked up at Nebula out of breath asking for her to take the Gauntlet from him. Clint was about to say another word until Nebula smiled and shot him dead. Clint’s body fell into the water as Nebula took the Gauntlet off of his body and turned around hearing an echo from the other side of the hallway. It was the future 2023 Nebula and Gamora. Gamora screamed at Nebula asking her what did she do. The 2014 Nebula smiled explaining that their father’s grand plan was to be finished and that she was just playing her part in everything. The future Nebula looked down to see that it was Clint who she killed and she put her head down screaming at herself but was shot 2 times in the chest. Gamora watched in horror as her future sister fell to the ground dead. Without hesitation Gamora did a 360 kick that stunned her sister. Knowing that she couldn’t be redeemed Gamora knew that she had to finish the job and kill her. Gamora took her knife out stabbing it into Nebula’s gut over and over again killing her for good. Gamora was terrified at what transpired but after everything this is what needed to be done. Gamora looked at both of her sisters lifeless bodies screaming in the air. She couldn’t believe that she went that far with it but it was too late. Gamora picked up the Infinity Gauntlet but she didn’t know what to do with it or who was in her side. The rest of the heroes like Ant-Man, Hulk and War Machine located Gamora running from the Outriders. She slid down the debris cutting them all up in front of the Avengers. War Machine raised his repulsor rays up telling the girl to give up the Gauntlet or that she would be killed. Not knowing who she was War Machine shot his repulsor but Gamora dodged the blast doing a wall run kicking War Machine in the face while front flipping over the Hulk and Rocket Raccoon. Rocket was shocked and kept calling her name but what he didn’t know is that this wasn’t his Gamora that he knew. Rocket started telling facts about Gamora and the Gamora that he used to know and she stood still listening to what the raccoon had to say. She told them that she didn’t really trust them but for now they would have a common enemy and that was to be her father. War Machine yelled at her demanding for her to give up the Gauntlet but Hulk thought that she was faster than any of these creatures and if she can outrun them then Thanos and his armies wouldn’t stand a chance at getting the Gauntlet. They all agreed and Hulk started breaking out from the debris while Ant-Man was getting ready to turn huge.

                                                  Final act

Iron Man’s armor was slowly failing him as he was taking a lot of damage from Thanos but he knew that this couldn’t be it. After everything they’ve been through Tony crawled with each lasting will to make it to his feet while Thanos was slowly walking towards Iron Man getting closer with each passing second. The other heroes that broke free from the compound looked within the distance seeing Iron Man crawling from Thanos. War Machine and Hulk stood still in disbelief as Thanos was getting closer to Iron Man. The mad Titan put his sword in the air and as Tony was about to get away Thanos looked on his left in confusion to see a portal opening in front of him. He was confused and was about to finish the job until heroes came out of the portal. Thanos grinned and launched his sword right into Tony until a web caught his sword in the neck of time taking it away as Star-Lord used his rocket boosts to kick Thanos in the face while Doctor Strange summoned a blocking spell to cover Tony. Heroes started ganging up on Thanos while the other Avengers from the compound started running in. The Black Order were summoned and invaded. Tony ran to Cap and Thor who were on the battlefield and Cap lost his arm while Thor was stabbed in the gut. They were still alive but they told Iron Man that they couldn’t fight anymore and that’s all they had left. Cap give Iron Man his shield telling him to use it wisely while Thor told Iron Man to extend his hand out in the air. Tony was shocked but he did it. He could see the battle from afar watching on as Captain Marvel and the other heroes were entering the battlefield. Thor’s hammer flew into Iron Man’s hand and Tony was shocked to see that he was worthy of Thor’s hammer. He looked at his left hand having Captain America’s shield and he charged towards Thanos. The ship started raining fire on Wanda, Spider-Man, Strange, Star-Lord and all the the other heroes until a massive bolt of lightning struck Thanos in the chest. “Are u ready for round 2” Tony Stark asked Thanos as he threw the shield at Thanos’s face using the hammer in the air while using a repulsor blast at the same time. The mad Titan was angered by this and started swinging wildly on the battlefield but Tony dodged all the attacks. Gamora was running on the battlefield dodging the attacks from Thanos’s ship but a massive blast hit the ground. Gamora was taken off of her feet and fell on her back. Corvus Glaive saw the Gauntlet while Gamora was crawling for it. He stabbed her in the chest with his Glaive telling her that she will die as a traitor. Star-Lord was fighting with the other Black Order members until he saw Gamora being executed from afar. Star-Lord screamed shooting Ebony Maw in the head killing him for good. Supergiant then arrived at the battle scene. Star-Lord used his rocket boots running to the situation but she was already dead. Star-Lord screamed and saw the Gauntlet on the ground. He was crying in shock knowing what he needed to do.  Star-Lord picked up the Gauntlet while nanotech crawled up his hand giving him the ultimate power in the universe. Spider-Man was on the other side of the battlefield dealing with Outriders and Black Panther was back to back with Spider-Man. They were being outnumbered but they saw Star-Lord in the distance putting the Gauntlet on. Black Panther yelled for Star-Lord to look out but it was already too late. Proxima Midnight cut off Star-Lord’s hand kicking him to the ground. She smiled putting her foot on his chest executing him. The Black Order rained fire while the other heroes were slowly being outmatched. Tony saw Proxima Midnight picking up the Gauntlet and she bowed before Thanos. The heroes were charging in. Iron Man used Thor’s hammer to propel himself towards them but Thanos saw what was coming and threw his sword towards Tony. The sword hit Tony in the chest as his chest blew up. The explosion caused a massive shockwave pushing back Tony. All Tony could see was a blurry image of Captain Marvel and Thanos fighting for control of the Gauntlet but his suit was getting damaged. Thanos like in our universe punched Captain Marvel with the Power Stone knocking her out. The mad Titan put the Gauntlet on walking towards Iron Man. Thanos picked up Tony and with 1 last ditch effort Tony summoned a blade trying to stab it into the mad Titan’s chest but Thanos broke it and grabbed a hold of Iron Man’s neck. He crushed Tony and threw his body on the ground. Iron Man extended his hand out but Thanos cut it off completely and stabbed Tony in the chest killing him for good at last. The Avengers were shocked. Spider-Man screamed but Thanos used a massive Power Stone blast on the rest of the Avengers. Thanos smiled saying that he was inevitable and he snapped his fingers watching as the heroes were being snapped away. Thor and Captain America looked at one another and Cap told Thor that he was happy to fight alongside him for all those years before they dusted away. Thanos watched seeing the heroes fading away and the rest of the Black Order bowed to Thanos. The mad Titan told them that he was going to snap again creating a new universe for himself and that he was happy to fight alongside them. Thanos used the stones and he was about to snap again.

                                                    Epilogue

And now to what happened at the TVA that I recently witnessed. He was shocked to see an orange portal opening in front of Thanos. Thanos was confused and so were the Black Order. A lady came out of the portal telling Thanos that he was under arrest for the violation of the sacred timeline and that he will be going to prison for his crimes. Men started coming out of the portals and started setting reset charges around the battlefield. The Black Order swarmed the TVA agents but they used their tasers to kill them one by one. With one touch they were dead. Thanos tried using the Gauntlet but TVA agents came from behind him and punched Thanos in the face keeping him in a slow motion position. They confiscated the Gauntlet and put a shot collar on his neck. Thanos dropped to the ground. He was ready to snap again but he saw that the gun was off of him. The mad titan screamed and was ready to fight. He charged the TVA agents but they resetted him. Thanos fell to the ground. They grabbed Thanos restraining him and he walked through the portal seeing people in suits walking all over the place. They pushed Thanos and told him that he was going to court so they should get ready. Not knowing what to do Thanos tried using all his might to attack the TVA members but it was no use. They shoved him into a chamber. The mad titan was shocked to see a massive robot in the middle of the room. The robot lasered his armor and Thanos fell on the ground. In a chair a man asked to confirm if all these documents is what Thanos had said. He didn’t know what to think but Thanos took a pen and wrote his name on it. TVA members grabbed Thanos and shoved him into another room. He was shocked to see someone that looked like him being confronted by the TVA members. TVA members yelled at this alternate Thanos and that Thanos was responsible for the death of Tony Stark. Thanos smiled saying yes and the TVA members grabbed their tasers and executed Thanos in front of him. This other Thanos that was just brought there couldn’t believe that he saw another version of himself from Titan be killed. A man told Thanos to take a ticket which he did. They shoved him before and the mad Titan watched the TVA commercial about the timelines and how there was only one sacred timeline. He was confused and asked what was going on and he asked if they all wanted to die. Thanos started getting mad and yelled asking if they knew who he was but the TVA members that were there at the court told Thanos that if he was going to plead guilty or not for the crimes he committed. Thanos wanted to know what crimes he committed and they told him how he killed the Avengers and that the timeline isn’t supposed to go that way. Thanos explained that he was only doing what he thought was right but he was rudely interrupted. They yelled if he was guilty and Thanos smiled saying that he was and that he will keep killing again and again. The lady at the court told Thanos that he was going to be executed until a man walked towards the court and told the lady not to kill Thanos. It was none other than Mobius himself…

                                                            Secret ending

Thanos snapped again and this time he managed to create a world in his name where all the Avengers and their allies lost against their respective enemies. However, this world even with the heroes gone didn’t go the way it should go and this wasn’t what Thanos wanted. ¿Why u ask? Well that is a story for another time…

               To be continued in ¿What if the MCU Villains fought Thanos?

                                                         THE END!

And that is going to be it for what if Thanos won in Avengers Endgame. This was a very intense what if to work on because a lot of people have done their own version of this and I felt like it was time to tell my version of this by having the TVA involved in one ending and having a tie in to the upcoming what if in another and there is another fan fiction coming soon that tons of people have been doing and now it’s time for me to do just that. Do make sure to be on the lookout for that and more what ifs coming soon. Take care guys and have a fantastic day. Peace out!

Do you mind if I ask your top 10 favorite characters (can be male or female) from all of the media that you loved (can be anime, books, movies or tv series)? Thanks....

Oh boy, this’ll be a bit of a long post! Alright I’ll try to keep this quick…

10. Toph Beifong: Look, what is there to say? If a young blind girl beating the shit out of ATLA’s version of Dwayne Johnson isn’t enough for Toph to be one of your faves, then you just have shit taste.

9. Power: A blood fiend with a bad attitude, Power serves as a foil to main character Denji, acting as a little sister/cat to his middle child/dog. Together, the pair make a hilarious dynamic duo, but also bring out the best and worst in each other, just like real siblings. Also Power is certified grossgirl rep.

8. Miles Morales: I wish I was more familiar with the comics, but even going off his incarnation in Spider-Verse alone, Miles has to be my favorite Spidey. He’s just so lovable and artistic and genuine, and his story is incredible. Proof that anyone can wear the mask and that you’re never facing the world alone, he’s an easy pick for my top 10.

7. Blitzo: Funny how his name sounds like blorbo, huh? Blitzo is a character that’s grown on me slowly, but the more I see of him the more interesting and entertaining he becomes, and the more I truly feel for this boss out of hell. As a later entry confirms, short angry men that shoot guns and swear a lot may just be an archetype I enjoy…

6. Jolyne Cujoh: The first (and so far only) JoJo not to be a man, Jolyne is every bit as badass as her predecessors. Her arc of personal growth is just utterly awesome, and her ultimate fate, while tragic, brings the curse upon her bloodline to an end.

5. Stolas Goetia: As a father single-handedly carrying the weight of one of the only engaging mlm relationships in animation, Stolas is a lot of fun to watch. Unabashedly horny, incompetently caring and all around dorky, this owl prince injects some much appreciated character drama into every scene he’s in.

4. Denji: Chainsaw Man’s titular titty-obsessed protagonist may not be your standard Shonen hero, but that’s what makes him so great. His simple but relatable desires keep his story grounded even as all the weirdness and horror ramp up. As if that weren’t enough, his fighting style is just the goriest, most brutal thing ever and I cannot get enough.

3. Bruno Bucciarati: Bucci Gang Rise Up! The adoptive mother figure of Vento Aureo, Bruno is one of those characters who would tech you valuable life lessons before asking if you want to help him commit some crime together, ie. the best kind of character. Not only that, but his stand, Sticky Fingers, is my absolute favorite stand with a unique and fun ability.

2. Angel Dust: Another Italian gangster with an open-breast white suit, it’s Angel Dust himself! From drag shows to mob violence to doing acid behind the Denny’s at 3 AM, Angel brings a lot to the table as a character. While his canon content may be lacking, his music video has me hooked waiting to see how his character will develop and very excited to see more of him. But as for my absolute favorite…

1. Rocket Raccoon: The GotG have been my favorite superhero team since I first started watching the MCU and the sheer novelty of a talking space raccoon with a gun as long as he is tall was enough for him to stick with me. However, his character arc of opening up to his new found family after years of trauma and loneliness, combined with his wholesome relationship with Groot, his best friend turned adopted son, elevated him from an ironic pick to my unironic favorite of all time. My one hope for GotG vol. 3? Rocket gets an actual happy ending for once. He deserves it.
