Description "We are, we are
Not your ordinary fami-mily
But we can all agree that
We are, we are
Close as close can be

So it don't matter what it looks like
We look perfect to me
We got every kind of love
I feel so lucky indeed
They can keep on talking
It don't matter to me cause
We are, we are family..."

~ We Are Family by Keke Palmer

I just love the thought of the Ravagers being one big, crazy family! If you think so to, I recommend looking up this fanfiction series by Donatello7 called The Day The Music Died, it focuses on Peter Quill's relationship with Yondu and Kraglin and it the most beautiful stories I have EVER read!! Tears of Joy dudes, seriously!!  

I got really into Guardians of the Galaxy this past summer but what really got me hooked was Yondu and the thought of him raising Peter and Kraglin to be Ravagers and of course being their father figure. I mean you don't raise a kid for more than 20 years or make a guy your right hand man without forming some kind of family relationship with them, even when you don't want your crew to know how much of a softy you are for kids

This song was the last bit of inspiration I needed to make my decision for this piece. I heard it after watching Ice Age 4 and just fell in love with the lyrics. Although I do make a change in the words when it comes to relating it to this franchise and characters; when she says "And I wouldn't replace not a thing; Mother or Father", I replace "Mother" with "Brother". I imagine if Peter were to sing his own version of the song, he's say "Brother" to represent Kraglin and "Father" for Yondu.

So yeah, I see Yondu as being Pete's father who's always hard on him and Kraglin as the big brother who does his best to keep him out of trouble, but they both still loves each other no matter what

Yes it's one of my favorites and one of the influences for my love of the father-son relationship between Yondu and Peter and the big brother-little brother relationship of Peter and Kraglin!

With Yondu and Kraglin it varies from a father-son relationship or a brotherly relationship. Maybe more of a teacher and mentor relationship but still a family based connection

Canonically, I think Kraglin is closer to Yondu in age, (and maybe has a small crush on him) but I really live the idea of him and Peter having a brotherly relationship and the three of them having a little "family" within the crew.

Since it hasn't been said officially, I just go by the actor's ages in the first GotG and then just use the timeline to determine their estimated ages throughout the movies, like GotG Vol. 2 was only a few months after the first one so they're ages haven't changed much. At the time in 2014, Chris Pratt (Peter) was 34-35, Sean Gunn (Kraglin) was 39-40, and Michael Rooker (Yondu) was 59-60. It's pretty helpful to look at it that way when it comes to fanart and fanfic

As for the big brother/little brother relationship between Krag and Pete, it's pretty much official considering the signs. Kraglin is the oldest who hates it when the baby of the family, being Peter, gets away with everything and is basically Yondu's "favorite. Man, I've been there, I have a "perfect" younger sister myself and it can be pretty frustrating, unlike Kraglin though, I'm a middle child, stuff like that naturally comes with the territory

However, they won't really admit it unless the circumstances are pretty high or incredibly emotional, Kraglin and Peter love each other and are there for each other no matter what like real siblings

I was born number five out of seven children so I kinda know how you feel. I love my younger siblings, but sometimes I'm just consumed with jealousy for them. (My therapist says that's normal)
Anyway, I completely agree with you about the age thing; unless told otherwise, I base character ages based on the age of the actor at the time. Just saves head-racking.
