Keith RP

22. He/Him. Half-Galra.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith RP

I'm super late to this, but I couldn't help but making a blog for this guy.

Rules/General Info:

No slur usage, please! I'd prefer to keep my blog a safe space from all that

Be respectful! I am only human, with a full time job, so I may take a bit to respond every now and then

I haven't finished all of Voltron, so I may not pick up on some things, but I am not against spoilers. I've already spoiled most of the show for myself lol. Bear with me!

Some posts will be Keith actually posting things himself, while others are mwant to take place irl in-universe. Irl posts will have quotation marks when Keith is talking as well as italicized actions, while in-character posts will be marked with [POST]

I am very open to crossovers of any genre!! Feel free to send over your blorbos!

No flirting with mod, but flirting with Keith is fine. He's got the hots for Lance, tho, so he may not react as you want

He's half-galra and Asian American, specifically Japanese/Korean mix, as I headcanon his father is of mixed decent as well

He knows some Korean, Japanese, Galran, and a little Spanish, since he lived in Texas for a good while, and you don't live there without picking up some stuff. He's out of practice with his Korean, since that was something he used with his Father, but has kept up with his Japanese with Shiro. His Mom is currently teaching him Galran, and Lance is... sort've helping him with Spanish when they have the time to video call

Currently with the Blades of Marmora, visits the other Paladins when he can

Very gay. David Bowie was his sexual awakening.

May be updated/altered in the future! Feel free to dm me, send me an ask, or @ me if you have any questions!

Lance keeps telling me that he's hot in Spanish. Like, I get it. Cuba is hot. You don't have to keep sending me "estoy caliente" with shirtless pictures of you sweating. I understand the point.

[shiro-blacklion]

AHA!

You need to come back to earth STAT

Get your man

I HAD TO KNOW

YOU ASKED ME FOR HELP

[not-an-emo-mullet]

I ASKED YOU FOR A TRANSLATION THAT'S ALL

[shiro-blacklion]

YOU INTERRUPTED DATE NIGHT!!!

Hey it’s Adam… Keith. Jesus man, get it together. We don’t mind the interruption… it’s very entertaining

[not-an-emo-mullet]

YOU CHOSE TO ANSWER

Oh hey, Adam. Sorry for the interruption. I'm trying to figure things out, but I didn't even know Lance liked guys up until recently. Even then, maybe he's just being his usual flirty self.

[shiro-blacklion]

No no this is more than just flirty that’s for sure

[not-an-emo-mullet]

But how do you knowww ughhh i don't wanna mess things upppp last time I confessed to a guy it went so baddllyyy

[shiro-blacklion]

When was the last time?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

...James Griffin.

[shiro-blacklion]

I KNEW IT

Cmon this time will go better

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Well yeah I know Lance isn't gonna call me a slur this time, he's not that kind of guy.

But at least I was able to fight Griffin and channel my pain into punching his stupid face. But if Lance rejects me, he's gonna let me down easy because he's too fucking sweet and I won't be able to handle that

[shiro-blacklion]

Do you want me to talk to him? Because if you don’t I will

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Don't you dare. Let me wallow in my gay misery.

[shiro-blacklion]

@blu3loverboy

[not-an-emo-mullet]

I'm gonna go drive myself into a black hole now. Hope you're happy.

[shiro-blacklion]

Aww don’t be like that!!

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Too late. You've already killed me, Shiro. My blood is on your hands.

[shiro-blacklion]

Shiro do you know Spanish this is important

@not-an-emo-mullet

Is this Lance related…?

Whatever. I know some, what’s up?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

That's not important.

What's the difference between "tengo calor" and "estoy caliente"

And also would the addition of shirtless pictures change the meaning of any of it. No, I don't want to get into that, just answer my question.

[shiro-blacklion]

Shirtless pictures? Damn Keith….

“Tengo calor” means “I’m hot” and “Estoy caliente” Keith it means “I’m horny”

Whichever *not* blue paladin sent you these wants to get in you’re pants that’s for sure

[not-an-emo-mullet]

No one sent me this. I wasn't sent anything. This is a purely hypothetical question.

[shiro-blacklion]

Okay… let me know how it goes with this hypothetical shirtless pics situation

[not-an-emo-mullet]

It's none of your hypothetical business.

[shiro-blacklion]

Oh I think it is

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Ughhhh why do you even want to knowwww

[shiro-blacklion]

Because I’ve been watching you stare down Keith since the garrison

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Shiro are you drinking wine again or did you actually just mix up me and Lance’s names

Also shut up I didn't do that

[shiro-blacklion]

What….. (Adam brought some fancy shit home its date night sue me)

And you totally did

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Oh yeah just rub your married self right in my face why don't you.

[shiro-blacklion]

He was trying to do no such thing! And you could be married now too. But you’re… for lack of a better word, you’re a pussy

- Adam (I stole his phone)

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Fuck off. Go make out and leave me alone, you old gay losers. 🖕

[shiro-blacklion]

Hey you could be making out with a certain shirtless Cuban right now but you’re not!!!

[picture of a drunk Shiro and Adam kissing]

[not-an-emo-mullet]

UGH YOU TWO ARE SO EMBARRASSING

[shiro-blacklion]

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Get your gross lovey dovey bullshit away from me. Keep that to yourselves. Ew.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Here u go, one space child. From space. A space orphan.

@not-an-emo-mullet

Hi little one

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

I want you to relax and make yourself at home.

Maybe talking to some of the others would help with that.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Why? What do they want to know? Are they afraid of me?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

No buddy. I was thinking you could ask them any questions you have

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"How many are there?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Maybe two dozen? They come and go as they please after they reach the age to do so.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith tensed. Far too many people. That was way too many strangers for him to feel comfortable around.

"...That's a lot of kids."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You aren't the first lost youth I've assisted

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"You mentioned that. I didn't realize you were running your own orphanage out of your home."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

It isn't an orphanage. I wouldn't do that to my kids.

This is their last stop. Their home. Their family.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"...That's good. They deserve that."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You have it now too. Like it or not everyone that stays here for any period of time is family

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I've heard that before. I'll believe it when I see it. Now, you wanted me to eat?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

*he doesn't respond, just quietly leads him to the table where a chicken katsu meal is waiting for him*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

He sat down, inspecting the food before beginning to eat, making sure to keep Fukuzawa in his line of sight.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

*he got him some juice and sat across the table*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith glances at the juice, but doesn't take any. This could be another test, to see if he'll act without explicit permission. He was very familiar with this test, and he wouldn't fall for it.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You poor baby...

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith can't decide if he doesn't want to push this man's limits, to see what he could do to him, or cower and do whatever he says. That dichotomy makes anxiety twist in his gut, making him lash out. Keith slams his hand down on the table, glaring at Fukuzawa. Daring him to do anything.

"I'm not a baby. Don't call me that."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You really don't have to be frightened here. I know it's easier said than done.

*he's seen enough kids come through here to know that his anger is fear trying to conceal itself*

You can have your juice sweetheart. Or if you'd rather have milk I can get you that instead. You can always ask here. You'll never be in trouble for asking.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Water. I want water, like an adult."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Water then.

*he gets him a cup of water and sits back down*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith takes the water, drinking a bit from it. It was good, it felt nice against his parched throat, but he shouldn't rush. Might be seen as weakness.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Do you have any preferences I should know about? Clothing, scents for hygiene products, food preferences?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"It would just be easier if I was able to work for money and then I could go out and get what I need myself."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

If you prefer to do your own shopping that's fine as well.

*he pulls his wallet out of his pocket and hands him roughly 80,000 ¥*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith gawks at the money, never having seen that much in his entire life. His foster homes had never trusted him with any amount of cash, so he had had to resort to stealing it from them when they weren't looking, and even then, he had to be careful to take small amounts so they wouldn't notice.

"Y-You're just... giving this to me?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Yes. This is about what I spend settling in a new child.

If you don't want me to assist you, and you prefer to shop for yourself, you'll need the money to get yourself settled in.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Just how loaded are you?!"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Enough to keep my children happy and fed.

I don't want you to worry about working Keith. I want you to focus on learning to let go and rest

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I'm a survivor of a space war. I don't have the luxury to relax."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

There's no war here.

No need to be in fight or flight.

It takes time, believe me I know.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Sorry. Guess I just don't have the evidence to believe that yet."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You don't have to apologize. I understand.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"...Can I meet some of the kids? Not all of them, just... some."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Absolutely. Of course you can.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Which one would be the best to start?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Well....you could start at the beginning with @thegreatestdetectiveever or @the-greatest-detective-ranpo

[thegreatestdetectiveever]

@not-an-emo-mullet, hi I guess.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Hi. You're, um... older, than I expected."

[thegreatestdetectiveever]

Makes sense. And you're like..what, 11?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I'm twenty."

[thegreatestdetectiveever]

Huh, only a six year age difference. I honestly didn't expect that.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Please tell me you're younger than me. I do not want to believe you're twenty-six."

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Lance keeps telling me that he's hot in Spanish. Like, I get it. Cuba is hot. You don't have to keep sending me "estoy caliente" with shirtless pictures of you sweating. I understand the point.

"Hi. You're, um... older, than I expected."

[thegreatestdetectiveever]

Makes sense. And you're like..what, 11?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I'm twenty."

[not-an-emo-mullet]

[POST]

Lance keeps telling me that he's hot in Spanish. Like, I get it. Cuba is hot. You don't have to keep sending me "estoy caliente" with shirtless pictures of you sweating. I understand the point.

[shiro-blacklion]

AHA!

You need to come back to earth STAT

Get your man

[not-an-emo-mullet]

STOP STALKING MY ACCOUNT

[shiro-blacklion]

I HAD TO KNOW

YOU ASKED ME FOR HELP

[not-an-emo-mullet]

I ASKED YOU FOR A TRANSLATION THAT'S ALL

[shiro-blacklion]

YOU INTERRUPTED DATE NIGHT!!!

Hey it’s Adam… Keith. Jesus man, get it together. We don’t mind the interruption… it’s very entertaining

[not-an-emo-mullet]

YOU CHOSE TO ANSWER

Oh hey, Adam. Sorry for the interruption. I'm trying to figure things out, but I didn't even know Lance liked guys up until recently. Even then, maybe he's just being his usual flirty self.

[shiro-blacklion]

No no this is more than just flirty that’s for sure

[not-an-emo-mullet]

But how do you knowww ughhh i don't wanna mess things upppp last time I confessed to a guy it went so baddllyyy

[shiro-blacklion]

When was the last time?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

...James Griffin.

[shiro-blacklion]

Shiro do you know Spanish this is important

@not-an-emo-mullet

Is this Lance related…?

Whatever. I know some, what’s up?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

That's not important.

What's the difference between "tengo calor" and "estoy caliente"

And also would the addition of shirtless pictures change the meaning of any of it. No, I don't want to get into that, just answer my question.

[shiro-blacklion]

Shirtless pictures? Damn Keith….

“Tengo calor” means “I’m hot” and “Estoy caliente” Keith it means “I’m horny”

Whichever *not* blue paladin sent you these wants to get in you’re pants that’s for sure

[not-an-emo-mullet]

No one sent me this. I wasn't sent anything. This is a purely hypothetical question.

[shiro-blacklion]

Okay… let me know how it goes with this hypothetical shirtless pics situation

[not-an-emo-mullet]

It's none of your hypothetical business.

[shiro-blacklion]

Oh I think it is

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Ughhhh why do you even want to knowwww

[shiro-blacklion]

Because I’ve been watching you stare down Keith since the garrison

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Shiro are you drinking wine again or did you actually just mix up me and Lance’s names

Also shut up I didn't do that

[shiro-blacklion]

What….. (Adam brought some fancy shit home its date night sue me)

And you totally did

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Oh yeah just rub your married self right in my face why don't you.

[shiro-blacklion]

He was trying to do no such thing! And you could be married now too. But you’re… for lack of a better word, you’re a pussy

- Adam (I stole his phone)

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Fuck off. Go make out and leave me alone, you old gay losers. 🖕

[shiro-blacklion]

Hey you could be making out with a certain shirtless Cuban right now but you’re not!!!

[picture of a drunk Shiro and Adam kissing]

[not-an-emo-mullet]

UGH YOU TWO ARE SO EMBARRASSING

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Here u go, one space child. From space. A space orphan.

@not-an-emo-mullet

Hi little one

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

I want you to relax and make yourself at home.

Maybe talking to some of the others would help with that.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Why? What do they want to know? Are they afraid of me?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

No buddy. I was thinking you could ask them any questions you have

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"How many are there?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Maybe two dozen? They come and go as they please after they reach the age to do so.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith tensed. Far too many people. That was way too many strangers for him to feel comfortable around.

"...That's a lot of kids."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You aren't the first lost youth I've assisted

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"You mentioned that. I didn't realize you were running your own orphanage out of your home."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

It isn't an orphanage. I wouldn't do that to my kids.

This is their last stop. Their home. Their family.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"...That's good. They deserve that."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You have it now too. Like it or not everyone that stays here for any period of time is family

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I've heard that before. I'll believe it when I see it. Now, you wanted me to eat?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

*he doesn't respond, just quietly leads him to the table where a chicken katsu meal is waiting for him*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

He sat down, inspecting the food before beginning to eat, making sure to keep Fukuzawa in his line of sight.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

*he got him some juice and sat across the table*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith glances at the juice, but doesn't take any. This could be another test, to see if he'll act without explicit permission. He was very familiar with this test, and he wouldn't fall for it.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You poor baby...

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith can't decide if he doesn't want to push this man's limits, to see what he could do to him, or cower and do whatever he says. That dichotomy makes anxiety twist in his gut, making him lash out. Keith slams his hand down on the table, glaring at Fukuzawa. Daring him to do anything.

"I'm not a baby. Don't call me that."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You really don't have to be frightened here. I know it's easier said than done.

*he's seen enough kids come through here to know that his anger is fear trying to conceal itself*

You can have your juice sweetheart. Or if you'd rather have milk I can get you that instead. You can always ask here. You'll never be in trouble for asking.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Water. I want water, like an adult."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Water then.

*he gets him a cup of water and sits back down*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith takes the water, drinking a bit from it. It was good, it felt nice against his parched throat, but he shouldn't rush. Might be seen as weakness.

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Do you have any preferences I should know about? Clothing, scents for hygiene products, food preferences?

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"It would just be easier if I was able to work for money and then I could go out and get what I need myself."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

If you prefer to do your own shopping that's fine as well.

*he pulls his wallet out of his pocket and hands him roughly 80,000 ¥*

[not-an-emo-mullet]

Keith gawks at the money, never having seen that much in his entire life. His foster homes had never trusted him with any amount of cash, so he had had to resort to stealing it from them when they weren't looking, and even then, he had to be careful to take small amounts so they wouldn't notice.

"Y-You're just... giving this to me?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Yes. This is about what I spend settling in a new child.

If you don't want me to assist you, and you prefer to shop for yourself, you'll need the money to get yourself settled in.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Just how loaded are you?!"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Enough to keep my children happy and fed.

I don't want you to worry about working Keith. I want you to focus on learning to let go and rest

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"I'm a survivor of a space war. I don't have the luxury to relax."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

There's no war here.

No need to be in fight or flight.

It takes time, believe me I know.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Sorry. Guess I just don't have the evidence to believe that yet."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

You don't have to apologize. I understand.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"...Can I meet some of the kids? Not all of them, just... some."

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Absolutely. Of course you can.

[not-an-emo-mullet]

"Which one would be the best to start?"

[fukuzawa-armeddaddyagency]

Well....you could start at the beginning with @thegreatestdetectiveever or @the-greatest-detective-ranpo

[thegreatestdetectiveever]

@not-an-emo-mullet, hi I guess.
