*knocks on door* u alive?

oh boy

alive? yes, sadly

active? i can’t entirely say the same oh dear

yes, it’s been a long while since i’ve done anything here. i would love to tell you all that i’m still writing and that something will be out soon, but truth to be told, i’m a lot busier than i was when i first started this blog and writing is a bit of a struggle. i’m also pretty sure my mental health has taken a bit of a hit and internalising everything wasn’t the greatest thing for me and it’s most definitely all been a very long term thing for me. 

in between me dropping off this blog and now, i’ve also realised that i’m aro/ace (or aspec at least) so that probably better explains all my inability to write any romantic scenes and awkwardness about it whoops,, i’ll still probably continue with “x reader” if and when i can, but i’ve realised romance is kinda somewhat i’m somewhat repulsed by? not much, but it’s something i’m a little skittish about. if i do start writing, uh there’ll probably be more gen stuff? primarily because that’s what i’m mostly interested in, i’ve realised

however, despite the fact i probably can’t right now, i still really want to at least finish off the match ups and writing i still have sitting in my drafts because i figure i at least owe everyone that much since i technically have been supposed to do them. i might think about having someone to help me out with it all, but i probably don’t know if i would trust anyone with this blog enough whoops//

tl;dr - i’m alive, not active, i want to get back to writing, but i highly doubt that’ll be something that’s going to happen soon

*peeks in* *starts speaking hesitantly* Are you there? Has your mood been better? Are you feeling up to write a thing?

ohh! bit of a surprise when I recieved this :o I’m very much still alive, just certainly quite bogged down with other things and at the moment my attention is still fixated on vld, but just not as much reader insert stuff ahhhh// I have like two or three other vld pieces to writes for exchanges/big bangs

I don’t plan on leaving this blog just yet, however making attempts to write out things for this blog is currently very slow;;; 

I’m not entirely sure if any of you would be interested, but I do have two other vld reader insert fics uploaded on quotev (moving them onto ao3 at some point)  if anyone is interested in checking them out. alternatively, I’m also in the midst of (slowly) creating a list of blogs who write vld reader insert fics if anyone wants one?

it’s lance’s birthday in five days, i missed shiro’s, barely got pidge’s, will probably miss keith’s, so have this mini preview of a half-finished lance thing i should have finished six months ago as compensation

before you get started, I just wanted to thank everyone who has stuck with me as I've run my blog. I'm not that great at it, but regardless I'm incredibly grateful for all the likes, reblogs and comments thrown my way! it is not required to complete all the questions! some are required as they're usually fairly simple to answer, but others won't absolutely need an answer ^^

hello all! it’s been a while, hasn’t it? (again) terribly sorry for disappearing again, life doesn’t like me very much

I know I say this all the time, but I’m hoping to be a bit more active. I love writing for this blog, but sometimes my muse doesn’t come and I feel real bad. //

regardless, I’ve made a feedback/survey-type form and I ask that if you can, to please fill it out! it’s completely anonymous and it’ll help me greatly with a couple of things that I’ve been wondering. anyways, thanks for all sticking by me! c:

curiosity

pidge x fem!Reader

old & extremely short idea but then pidge’s birthday happened and although this is late, i can’t just miss it with nothing

also refers to pidge as male for the first bit bc of the garrison thing

an open ended ending :)

 - mod asteria ✨

When you joined the Garrison, you expected to learn how to fly a plane, not to fall in love.

When you first entered, love definitely was not on the top of your list. However, that was before you encountered Pidge Gunderson. When you first saw him, he wasn’t the type of guy that most girls would consider ‘ideal.’ From what you could get out of him, he was just... smart.

Most others would be confused on why you had developed such an interest in him. Most other girls (or boys) would at least form some sort of puppy crush on Lance, or Hunk, Pidge’s other crew mates. Pidge himself? Not their type, they would say.

But regardless, during your time at the Garrison, you grew to notice Pidge almost everywhere. He was such an enigma you couldn’t understand. You didn’t know whether it was you being more observant or if you two were really actually bumping in each other more often.

Every time you saw him, you also told yourself that no, you did not have a crush on him.

It was just a simply curiosity.

Yes, that.

Just a simply curiosity about Pidge Gunderson.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Just a curiosity.

Well, that was an incorrect assumption on your part.

When you joined the Garrison, you were also not expecting to be going up into space in the mouth of a giant, robotic lion with an ex-Garrison student, a not-so-lost pilot and three other students. One of whom happened to be Pidge. Fun.

And now? 

Stuck out in space, while you discovered that aliens existed, were definitely more than ten thousand years old and were currently in an ongoing war that Earth had not been aware of. Which you six had to join. Even more fun. 

You had hoped that being closer with Pidge and getting to know him better would make you realise that there wasn’t anything special with him and that you could simply get on with your life (as much as you could when in space).

Unfortunately, that tactic did not quite work out. In fact, getting to know Pidge better only made you a lot more interested in him. With each night, you found yourself watching him silently as he fiddled about with the many bits and bobs that he had managed to find his hands on. 

“I’m a girl.”

Those three words that came out of Pidge’s mouth left you a little speechless. Multiple thoughts ran through your mind. First, you were surprised. How could you not have noticed? Both of you were the only female humans who were aboard the Castle and you hadn’t ever worked it out. Second, what were your feelings towards her then?

Was it just a simply desire for friendship? Or was it a crush that was just blooming? Love had never been your strong suit, liking a male was already strange enough for you, but there was a possibility that you were attracted to the same gender? It was most definitely something that you hadn’t thought about before. Maybe it even explained a lot more than you thought.

Then everyone else was leaving the room.

And you weren’t sure. 

You turned your head towards Pidge, who was just leaving. 

What should you do?

You watched as she left.

Maybe later.

Maybe later.

'sup

hello!

[paladinwrites]

Just joined your discord server. Something to celebrate about...?

ey thank you very much! :D

[paladinwrites]

P A L A D I N S   W R I T I N G   [ a discord server ]

introducing (even though it’s been a few weeks) the ‘new’ discord server!

although it’s been a bit quiet, this server is here for anyone of you to come in and talk to me! whether it be about this blog or else, I don’t completely mind!

the server currently has quite a few channels, such as a main one (for topics related to the blog or vld in general) and an off-topic one for those unrelated. if you use discord more than tumblr, there are also quite a few roles which you can get assigned which I will use when I post something new to the blog.

I’m completely open for suggestions of the sort, such as more channels and the like. so please do come in and have fun!

join the discord with this link: https://discord.gg/QgBEYFR

[paladinwrites]

HELL YEAH ID JOIN THAT DISCORD!

ahhsgdg, that’s great to hear!!

I’ve made the discord and you can join it right here! I’ll add it to my about as well and get a more official post up so others know about it. Regardless, hope to see you all in there! ^^

[paladinwrites]

just curious, would any of you in interested in a discord server? one where you guys can talk with me casually and in general just be a friendly thing! I need friends want to get to know all you guys a bit more and I’ve been recently playing about a bit with discord and have been able to get the hang of it

this won’t be a completely necessary thing and I just want to actually make an effort to engage with my followers ^^

there’ll probably be things like a section where you can see my current drafts, requests (not specifically, but just the number), ongoing works and the like, as well as something where I can mention people when I post new writing, so hopefully that interests you all?

if you are genuinely interested, please let me know in some way (whether it be interacting with the post, messaging me or similar) so I’m aware of interest!

regardless, if not, just ignore this post and my awkward self //

[paladinwrites]

alright, first of all, sorry for disappearing! school has started and I’ve gotten busy, but I haven’t yet forgotten about the blog >:o I just haven’t yet gotten the time (nor the motivation, sadly when I do have the time) to write!

I have been seeing matchups and requests that have been sent in, but I feel I might go out of order when writing requests sometimes now as sometimes, some requests don’t give me enough motivation for me to write what I feel is enough

second note,

two hundred??

ahsgdgsga thank you all!! although I probably won’t be doing something for the milestone as I have yet to finish off one piece for the 100 follower milestone, I still want to thank you for at least sticking by me all these months :)

I’ve had this blog for five months now, can’t believe that//

[paladinwrites]

hey! i'm a big fan of your writing, and i recently started an imagines blog of my own! it's been a pretty slow start, so would you mind giving it a shoutout? the url is season8neverhappened ! thanks! <3

oh wow! thank you! I’m not sure if my blog is considered big or popular enough to be giving shoutouts, but I’ll give one regardless!

go check out @season8neverhappened for more voltron writing content!

[paladinwrites]

Would it still be okay for me to ask for a match up?

it’s perfectly okay to ask for a matchup! they’re still open! though, a small warning, it’ll be a bit slow answering as I do have other matchups & requests before, and my motivation has been dipping a bit lately.
