meta + my pidge (aka, dark!pidge)
send me a topic to write a meta about my muse on
TBH, pidge is one of those characters that completely has the ability to become someone who might waver in the face of having the chance to see her family again; this has been proven through the episodes -- and it is a really hard decision to make: defending the universe, or finding your family. everyone has some selfish feelings when it comes to that choice; everyone wants their loved ones out of harm’s way. that said, your pidge makes an interesting choice, a darker kind of choice -- to help ZARKON in the face of family. because sure, she gets her family back, as promised -- but at the cost of her body, at the cost of her required loyalty.
and that’s an interesting choice; but pidge is someone who makes her own choices, pidge is someone who makes her own choices, with or without input from other people; and is someone who is both persistent and stubborn. most of all -- FAMILY is important to her; it’s something that she’s obsessed about even before episode one really got started. ( it was enough to make her concentration falter during the team - building exercise; that, and her secret. she was focused on the picture she had taken with her brother, and concerned that her teammates would discover her real gender. ) so the idea that pidge might sacrifice everything that team voltron has worked towards in order to work w / zarkon and bargain for the health and safety of her family... it isn’t so much a stretch.
i do wonder how pidge’s family feels about it, though. they’ve lived under zarkon’s control for a year; working in camps for zarkon. one wonders how they feel about their daughter / sister bargaining for their release by turning to zarkon. and one wonders how THAT might affect dark!pidge...
