goodbye!

here’s the thing. I love writing. I love answering asks. but I have full-time priorities in my everyday life. and I’m looking to better my fics & grow as a writer on other platforms. answering these asks have become a chore and stressful obligation instead of something fun.

yeah maybe I cracked under the pressure. maybe I disappointed you all. and I’m sorry if I did. but I can’t do this. for the asks that were never answered, I am deeply sorry - but I’d rather give you nothing than something so obviously half-assed.

I’m leaving the blog up, so no, I’m not deleting anything. this was a short but super fun ride, Paladins.

I can’t thank you all enough for the positive feedback and the asks; they all brought me endless joy. I hope you all find an ask blog for any fandom that can commit to this better than I can.

if you care to find me, look to the western sky (lmao let me live my broadway dream), I’m @zukkallura and zukkallura on ao3.

remember to take care of yourself. support yourself. support your work. you are your first priority.

see ya ✌️

I never asked that to get you to hurry up. Was just wanting confirmation. I literally just forgot 😂. You don’t need to hurry up. Like if you’re busy you’re busy.

oh I know darling, I just wanna make sure you know I didn’t forget your ask! but thank you for being so understanding ❤️

Lance and Keith reaction to their crush and them conversing and casually they call the boys cute and it’s so casual you almost can miss it? (They’re not the flirty type).

sure thing! here you go, my darling ❤️💖

l a n c e 💙

the two of you were talking casually after a mission, your legs playfully strewn over his, both of you munching on a snack

he’s lamenting about some pretty alien girl that rejected his advances

and you chuckle

“well, hang in there, lover boy, you’re a cutie and someone‘s gonna say yes eventually.”

he feels his cheeks and the tips of his ears get bright red

“thanks, Y/N” he gives a lopsided smile

you wink good-heartedly, eager to then discuss the latest video game

he of course talks with you about it, but he can’t stop thinking about what you said...and how casual you said it

he wonders if you like him in that way

he certainly likes you in that way

but maybe you’re just being polite

nonetheless, he spends the rest of the night replaying the words over and over again in his head

and you silently wonder if he caught onto the subtle hint you dropped

spoilers: he totally did and things were different...between you guys afterwards

but neither of you are complaining ;)

k e i t h ❤️

the two of you are flying back to the Garrison after a quick mission to re-route some medical supplies

uncharacteristically, Keith says something about his scar under his breath

you inquire as to what he’s saying and he just unloads onto you his deeply-rooted insecurities regarding it and the whole shebang where he acquired it

you listen, not really used to him saying such personal things of his volition

when he’s done talking, he averts his eyes and blushes, apologizing for the sudden therapy session

you smile kindly, placing a tentative hand on his shoulder, and he doesn’t flinch when you touch him

“plenty of girls like a man with a scar and a good story behind it. and if it makes you feel better, I think you look cute with it”

you nudge him in the arm playfully, smirking

he’s just kinda blushing and looking at you that he almost doesn’t realize you guys are back home

his landing strategy has been better but cut him a break, a pretty girl just called him cute

a pretty girl that he rather likes

and you’re just happy for once in his life he’s not so damn dense

atlalok/she-ra matchup? scorpio, intp, hyper-competitive, very strong opinions. good at writing & debating - stoic by default, but i make jokes whenever i think they’ll be well received. vulnerability is a godawful idea. it’s better to be respected than to be liked but i try for both. i like people who are sharp, can keep up with my arguing and are as passionate as i am. i believe that people of privilege like me have a moral responsibility to help those less fortunate. urban >>> rural.

enjoy, my friend! thank you for the ask! ☺️

so for your atla/lok match up....I ship you with Mako! (apologies in advance for the occasional fire pun)

Mako needs someone who’s sharp. he loves your sharp-tongued, witty, and snarky personality. he thinks it’s crazy hot. you’re just...striking.

he really didn’t expect you to crack jokes, bless him, he’s so used to your typically-stoic nature. the first time you cracked a serious joke, like a Bolin or Korra-level joke, he whipped his head towards you and squeaked out a “what”. you couldn’t stop giggling at his reaction - but you’re also insanely good at making him laugh!

your fiery personality is probably his favorite thing about you. you just radiate passion and grit, you’ve got a zestful charisma that makes him weak in the knees.

he’s totally okay with your distaste for vulnerability, he’s not too big a fan of it either. besides, the two of you just box or bend whenever there’s some turmoil or stress - that works it out just fine.

now for your She-Ra match up...I ship you with Catra!

this girl is definitely competitive, so you’re not gonna have trouble finding someone to spar with. she’s determined af to beat you every time but sometimes you come out on top...and she’ll never admit she loves it.

you don’t shove morals or ethics down her throat like so many people in her life have. she wants to be respected (or even feared), and has no time for fluffy or fuzzy feelings. but still she loves you...you’re a breath of fresh air. someone who can keep up with her. you’re a volcano, you’re a leader, you’re a fighter, you’re basically the epitome of strength. and Catra is super into that.

Catra is the exact opposite of emotionally vulnerable; so you won’t have to deal with tears or self-pitying talks. instead, the two of you can just live, waking up each day and seeing where the wind takes you. it’s exhilarating and it’s absolute bliss.

she’s really not a literature person, so your writing is very foreign to her. but she supports you nonetheless. but she can debate!! and she’s crazy good at it. the two of you have pulled all-nighters just talking and debating and then you sleep all day (as cats do)

your personalities conflict and confide with each other often, but y’all are frankly too whipped for one another to care.

(from the person who sent the atlalok/she-ra matchup ask) oh fyi the gender of the matchup doesn’t matter to me. thanks for your work, it’s really cool.

ahhhh thank you so much, that’s so sweet of you to say ❤️ and thanks for letting me know :) your match up will be out soon (so sorry it’s taken me so long to get to it, I’ve been busy af)

Hi! Could I please request a matchup with one of the VLD boys? I'm a Pisces. Asexual. Barely 5'1. Dark brown hair and eyes. I'm very introverted, bad at socializing and don't open up or trust easily. I like spending time alone reading or listening to rock/punk music. I also like running, taking walks, cycling and swimming. I hate crowded or noisy places. I have quite a bad temper and I'm prone to anger. Also, I tend to have obsessive thoughts and feel kinda depressed sometimes. Thank you! :)

of course!! I hope you enjoy, love ❤️

for your Voltron match up, I ship you with....Lance!

(I’m so sorry about using a sad!lance gif but he looks so 👌)

Leo (Lance’s canonical zodiac sign) and Pisces can mix really well together; since they both often desire intimate relationships.

Lance is very patient with you, he knows it can be tremendously difficult to handle social situations. He’ll always give your hand a squeeze if he notices your social nervousness. you become so accustomed to his presence whenever you’re nervous, because he’s always there by your side, that you feel...empty and lonely if he’s not there (but he’ll always come to the rescue if you need him).

this guy is 100% a swimmer so when he learns that you love it, he just falls more in love with you. the two of you often challenge each other to see who can swim laps the fastest - he usually wins but you’ve conquered before. also embracing each other, standing in the water, wet hair sticking to your faces, and kissing? yes.

he won’t lie and say your short temper hasn’t startled him before but he learns to recognize the signs when you’re irritable. you become more patient for his sake, and he does his best not to be overly sensitive, because he would never try and change your personality.

his heart breaks when you endure a spell of depression - he wishes he could take that pain away. the first time you really struggled around him absolutely broke his heart in two. he doesn’t hesitate to hold and dote on you whenever you’re depressed, but he’ll give you space if you need it.

he loves you, and every individual amazing thing that make up who you are. you’re just...perfect.

May I ask for a male ATLA matchup, please? I'm a 164 cm tall, slim girl. I have short brown hair and brown eyes. I wear black eyeglasses. I like skirts and dresses, in one word: girly clothes. Light makeup. I'm a very-very critical person and proud of that. Loyal, patient and caring one. Clumsy af. I mean really, really clumsy. I love to share my opinion about anything. I can be really silent and serious at times, dreamy. Pretty good at massage. Not so romantic.🌷

your ATLA match is....Zuko!!

you’re not the most romantic girl around and that is a-okay with Zuko. he’s honestly kind of clueless in that field and he’s thankful that you don’t mind too much. you guys are just happy with each other’s company!

I feel like Zuko definitely has a thing for the serious, silent type. so saying he fell for you and your demeanor is an understatement. he also is head over heels for the fact that underneath all those stoic expressions is the kindest person he’s ever met.

Zuko is also fairly clumsy, outside of combat. he can’t count how many times he’s zipped across the room to catch you as you trip over something. and of course, you always return the favor.

Zuko doesn’t shed tears too often, but he views as the very opposite of weak. so during the few times he’s seen you cry, he never lets you feel weak or ashamed of your tears. you push him away instinctively at first, but grow to trust him to see you in moments of vulnerability.

he loves your sense of humor, and you always manage to make him snort-laugh during moments of diplomacy or meetings. he’ll be mad at you for a half second and then remember the joke you made and just die laughing all over again.

Zuko is 100% a cuddler. the both of you are shy when it comes to initiating physical intimacy but one night, he eventually snakes an arm over you and he nearly short-circuits when you snuggle closer into him.

the two of you are so awkward but so pure

[multi-fandom-asks]

Realistic. I like alcohol and occassionally one cigarette. One of the hardest things to make me talk about my problems but if someone open up to me I'll be really glad it warms my heart. Btw easy to make me happy. Into hanging out with my friends. Have an ironic, troll-sense of humour. I want to become a lawyer. The most important thing in my life is family, I love them soo much. Hate to seem weak or seen crying. 🌷

here’s a hint for your upcoming match up:

🔥

- mod Aoi 🌺

[multi-fandom-asks]

Often stressed. Need my alone time especially when mad at someone. Hardworker. Lowkey would be into a bit cuddly one(yeah, I am maybe needy and sensitive but would never admit that huh). I would need sb who initiate things because I'm too shy for it. Love deep conversations. Not fond of PDA. Easily get flustered. Virgo. Hobbies/interest: classical literature, yoga, running, politics, reading, listening to music, theatre, sightseeing, hiking, horse riding, like to try new things 🌷 thank you🤗

oh my darling I already know who I’ll be pairing you with 😏

- mod Aoi 🌺

[multi-fandom-asks]

Crushing on Matt and Pidge noticing and deciding to help?(she thinks they would make a cute couple)

who wouldn’t have a crush on Matt tbh

enjoy, darling!

(a sprinkle of angst ahead - but a very happy ending)

Pidge catches on easily to the fact that you have a massive crush on Matt

so she becomes your designated wingwoman

you and Matt in the same room? time for her and everybody else to take their leave

she knows it’s not her place to inform Matt of your crush on him; but she does her best to give hints

“maybe Y/N wants to go with you!”

“I think Y/N would like that shirt on you”

“hey Matt, Y/N’s looking sad. maybe you should to talk to them”

and this boy. never. puts. two and two. together

both you and Pidge are kinda annoyed with it but neither of you wanna overstep any boundaries

I mean, he’s looking for his missing father, he’s a vital part in defeating a tremendous threat, and he’s obviously got eyes for Allura

so he’s probably not interested

but you’re still so hopelessly head over heels for him

Pidge is eventually tired of your gentle flirting being met with generic, dense responses

so she implements a plan

she does a fuck ton of preparation for this

everyone helps - because everyone knows how deeply you’ve grown to care for the elder Holt sibling

Pidge lets you in on the plan; and you’re petrified that it’s gonna go horribly wrong

but she assures you that it will work

and when you’re suddenly alone in the lounge with Matt, you realize-

holyshitimalonewithhim

Matt suddenly starts getting all flustered and blush-y

he scratches his cheek, has trouble looking you in the eyes, and can barely string together a sentence

“so...we’re alone. isn’t that unusual?” you say, trying to mellow the leaden air around you

Matt chuckles “yeah, it is. I don’t mind it though”

your heart skips a beat

“well, that’s very sweet. I don’t mind it either”

more awkward silence

but you’re feeling pretty warm and fuzzy and so is he

silence...silence...and more silence

and then Matt makes a joke, and he thinks he’s harmless

“is this the part where you confess your love for me?”

you whip around, not realizing it’s a joke

“are you leading me on or something?“

his eyebrows arch in confusion

“wait, what-what are you talking about?”

you tear up, half out of anger and half out of embarrassment

“please stop...I just....I’m such an idiot”

“hang on, Y/N, listen to me. I was making a joke!”

he pauses, placing a gentle hand on your arm

Do you...do you actually like me?”

“oh my-YES”

Matt bursts into surprised laughter, hugging you close to him

“I’m the idiot here. I’ve never been good at picking up signals or hints-“

“obviously” you snort

“shush, you. I really like you a lot, Y/N. and if you wanna see where this goes, I’d be more than okay with that”

you smile, squeezing him tight

you’ll definitely have to thank Pidge later

Hey, can I get a Voltron matchup? 21. 5'5" Ace tomboy. Short brown hair, brown eyes, has green contacts. Coffee addict. music junkie. range from classical to heavy metal. introvert scorpio and emo of group. Writer and baker. "punk cowgirl" style. wears boots, converse, vans, flannel, band shirts, hoodies, beanie or snapback. trust and commitment issues and more. I have trouble opening up to others. native Spanish speaker, fluent in English and learning ASL. Chicago born Texas raised. Thank you

of course! enjoy 😊

~

For your match up, I ship you with Pidge!

Pidge is canonically an Aries, and when paired with Scorpio, it is fiery and passionate. the two of you would be a whirlwind of wit, zest, and charisma in the castle.

she’s fairly introverted herself so she kinda gravitates towards you. she understands the troubles of opening up to others, and often keeps her turmoil to herself. the two of you slowly help each other to become more confident around others.

Pidge can’t bake or cook worth a damn so your expertise in the kitchen is a godsend! she does her best to be subtle when asking if you can make her something sweet...but she’s really not that subtle. but you love baking for her nonetheless.

she loves that you’re a writer! Pidge, when not gushing over technology, is a bookworm. you’re a little shy about sharing your work but Pidge adores every word you write. she’s helped build your confidence as a writer tremendously.

similarly, Pidge geeks out whenever you practice sign language. she thinks it’s the coolest thing ever. I mean, a language, words, that are completely non-verbal? that is seriously awesome. she’s learned a great deal from you and can hold a basic conversation in ASL. what a smart little pigeon

she just admires you and loves you so freaking much, okay?

[multi-fandom-asks]

if we are to send you a matchup, is it alright if it is longer than just one ask? sorry if matchups aren’t open!

Yep, that is a-okay! If requests are open, which they always are, then you can request any matchups/headcanons/x-readers you want!

[multi-fandom-asks]

Hi! I love your writing! Could I please request Keith with a shy plus size reader? ☺️

awww thank you so much! you’re so sweet 🥰 and omg I live for this ask; I hope you enjoy!

Keith has always made you feel at home, as did the rest of the Voltron family

you’re shy, so you naturally gravitated towards him due to his quiet nature

he thinks you’re rather pretty but he won’t say anything (he’s too bashful, as he totally would be)

the two of you slowly become good friends, and his feelings for only strengthen

you guys can be yourselves around each other

Keith is actually super funny and good at making others laugh once he comes out of his shell

he loves seeing your face light up when you laugh (that kind of laugh that reaches your eyes and is contagious? yeah that one)

Keith is the kinda guy that couldn’t give a shit about body types if he tried

he likes big girls, big guys, skinny girls, skinny guys, and everything in between

you have weight on you and he loves it

it’s just perfect for your frame, you’ve got curves, and you’re hot af

he just really has a crush on you, okay?

when the two of you FINALLY get together, you occasionally speak about physical insecurities you have

Keith is flabbergasted

how can you? you gorgeous creature you? be upset with your beautiful body?

he just unloads onto you every feature of yours, big or small, that he adores

he’s sort of awkward about it ‘cause he’s not super good at articulating his feelings

but it makes you feel better

and he gets better with words as time goes on

he makes sure you’re never uncomfortable in social situations, seeing as you can be rather shy

but he’s always right by your side, and if you need him, he’s got your back

the two of you balance each other out and you’re soon head over heels in love for this handsome Paladin

spoilers: he’s head over heels for you too

Yo I just posted a preview of my Voltron New generation story with my OCs after I posted pictures of my OCs I was wondering if you could take a look at it and tell me if I can work on anything or give me ideas! Thanks!

hi there! so first off, I love the designs of your new Paladins - Hayden is 👌 (I swear man, Red Paladins are my kryptonite)

and second of all I’m so flattered you asked me to do this like whaaaat thank you so much!

now your story, I absolutely can praise the feel of it. It’s got that dorky group of kids about to be a part of something special kinda thing going and I adore that! I also love how you incorporated the original Paladins (or in this case, the second group of original Paladins because we’ve got a new menagerie now), it made it feel strikingly similar to canon content, like nostalgic in a way if that makes sense. Kudos to you for that!

finally, I love how genuine Mia sounds. first person perspective in stories is a tricky thing but Mia sounds like a real and adventurous yet cinematic character to me and I love that!

my biggest focus would be fleshing out the characters as the story progresses. make them real. make me connect with them, make me love them. give them struggles, triumphs, quirks, and relationships. interconnect the storyline and characters - they’ll help each other grow.

keep up the good work; and I’ll be checking out more of your series - feel free to tag me in later iterations of it...I wanna see where this goes!!
