Here’s some shance doodles because they are good for the soul 👌

[mikael-art]

i can post these now! my full pieces for the shiro zine! =D 

[juniperarts]

I’ve wanted to draw this for a while. Somehow the team convinces Shiro to wear those shirts with the chest holes and he is too nice to refuse. He is not a fan tho.

just found this super self indulgent sketch in my folders … OOPS / do not reupload

The Lions Of Voltron.

[dent-de-leon]

sometimes i'm just amazed at how keith's first line in the show implies that he and shiro have some sort of past together and we can tell from that one line that these two mean something to each other and honestly that scene is always gonna leave me breathless

Anon,,, the way Keith looks at Shiro again after all this time, seeing that Shiro’s finally back and he just can’t believe it–that breaks me, alright

And I mean, even when Keith first appears in this scene, you can literally feel the anger burning in his eyes. Like, they zoom in and his eyes are doing that shaky, jittery thing they do when anime characters get real emotional 

Judging by how he looks ready to come at everyone with a vengeance, and just how he knocks them all out without saying a word–this is someone with a very personal vendetta. So, even if he’s not sure it’s Shiro held prisoner at this point, I think he expects (or at least hopes) that it is. 

Also, it’s not just the way Keith says his name. It’s how he races over when he sees it’s Shiro, still in shock it’s him. It’s how we see him go from this masked vigilante beating people up without remorse to this scared, soft, expressive person with such gentle eyes. It’s how he reaches out to touch Shiro’s face, tenderly turns it a little so he can see him better. It’s how there’s kinda this focus on Shiro’s mouth when he let’s out a pained whine and Keith sets right to work–immediately snapping out of it and cutting Shiro free as fast as he could 

Our intro to Keith is literally him rescuing Shiro and looking extremely vulnerable over this reunion. If Shiro were a girl, I’m pretty sure everyone would agree it looks like they were being set up as love interests. That’s just how the scene reads. Or rather, I should say it just kinda has that vibe to me. 

Also, the way this scene mirrored Shiro saving Keith in BOM just about killed me

Hey your character analysis thing is really good, could you do one for our sunny boy hunk? please

Sure enough, here is Hunk for you, @my-new-obsessions and everyone else that asked!! :D WHY I LOVE HUNK:

The Anxiety™

has troubles focusing his eyes when he’s tired

talks with his whole body

“am I the only one still pretending to be excited?”

has no problems with reading other people’s diaries and talking about what’s in there if it fits the situation 

openly admitted to wanting to go back to his family

saltiest child

makes himself smaller when scared (which is often)

is the only one to point out how weird certain situations actually are

IS SO STRONG WHAT EVEN

*stares* “are you trying to see if I’m turning purple?” *staring intensifies* “noooooooooooooooooo-”

makes puns

refused to kick Pidge because “what no we’re friends”

O_O

can be surprisingly determined if he has set his mind on something

calls his lion “boy”, implying that it’s male

so smart?????????????? he understands how alien machines work within 0.2 seconds????? i’m in awe

tried to hide with the Arusians 

had no problems with running into a known trap if it meant saving shay

grabs people when he panics

“does it always have to be about Zarkon?”

H E ’ S   A   L E G,, ,

voices his feelings constantly but never forces other people to react to them

actually has a legit fan that would travel the universe to find him

had a lot of problems with nausea when it came to flying, but he seems to have gotten a lot better already

is an amazing cook and loves trying out new food

absolutely hated how Zarkon treated the Balmerans 

cries easily

accidentally saved the day through making uneatable cookies

seems to be Lance’s (and Pidge’s) impulse control

his bayard transformation for Voltron is the coolest shit??? he just hits every single target and can shoot multiple bullets at once???? who needs a sword when they have that

shows affection easily and openly 

talked to the Balmera as if it was a dog

snores loudly

when he’s right: “I KNEW IT AND HERE ARE ALL THE REASONS WHY I WAS RIGHT FROM THE VERY BEGINNING-” when he’s wrong: “yeeeeah I guess you have a point” *sheepish smile*

fist bumped Coran

talks a lot and isn’t always aware of all of the stuff that comes out of his mouth

always gets the worst missions assigned

[keiths-stupid-mullet]

As requested by @gjoriin, here is stuff I love about Pidge :D

loves her family unconditionally!!!!!!

rambles when worried

also rambles when excited

really didn’t want to cut her hair off

the more tense the situation/less sleep she’s gotten, the less tolerance she has for Lance’s shit

loves video games

always wants to learn new things & know how everything works 

can?? think in binary code?????? how

tilts her head and/or readjusts her glasses when nervous

reprogrammed and adopted a fighting drone

also named it

gets annoyed when people touch her stuff without permission

carries a picture of Matt with her

*team does something stupid* *ignores them completely and keeps doing her own thing*

has allergies & used to hate the outdoors because of that

despite that she appreciates pretty nature surroundings

*glasses glint*

came up with the plan to steal money from a fountain to buy that one video game

cries openly

talks to her lion and modifies it with castle tech

is?? actually totally comfortable in dresses????

seems to really get along with the mice

has a diary

easily gets sweaty hands

built trash robots of her friends when she was lost in space - probably because she missed them

makes puns and waits for people to get them

hates peanuts but loves peanut butter cookies

curse her short arms

so small,, gets blown away easily,,, needs to be protected,,,,

can be unexpectedly clumsy

continued doing her job even when she heard how Shiro got tortured over the intercoms

*gets forced to leave her laptop* *whines and pouts*

tried to learn Altean and actually was successful to some degree

“aww you’ve got a cute little bayard” *electrocutes Lance* “yeah, it’s pretty cute”

made it into the garrison with a fake identity

can hack into pretty much everything, anywhere, even while talking

is sarcastic at times but is genuine about her feelings just as often, if not more

smart af

agreed to stay with the team despite her family being more important to her than anything else

fell asleep in front of her laptop

is self-confident and knows exactly what she’s capable of

but was still worried about not being the right paladin for the green lion

has the smuggest grin

sees tech: ☆*･゜ﾟ･*٩(*▿*)۶*･゜ﾟ･*☆

CONCLUSION: Pide is adorable,,,, I l o v e her

dominate the big boy

[keiths-stupid-mullet]

your Keith post gives me life !!! do you think you could do one for lance too ?

Sure can do! :D I could probably do one for every paladin tbh, I love them all so much. Anyway, here, have some of the reasons why I adore Lance:

is flirty

it’s a good flirty though??? he only ever compliments people, makes finger guns or talks himself up. nothing gross about it

used to sneak out of the garrison regularly

the most innocent laughter

does the eyebrow thing

is a good strategist and confident in his abilities!!

befriends people super fast

presumably can knit

feels insecure about what he contributes to the team despite being confident in his abilities

calls Blue “Beautiful” and is very happy with her

has the worst jokes

and even worser comebacks

loves his friends!!!!! so much!!!!!!! he brags about them to other people!!!

long limbs,,,,

always tries to diffuse tension

the more tense the situation, the more annoying he gets (probably in an attempt to distract people)

instantly becomes serious when the mission starts

is afraid of ghosts

can do A+ impressions of other people

moves his entire body while handling the controls for the fighting drones

he :3

knows the altean time measuring units and what they translate to

has absolutely no control over the volume and/or pitch of his voice

presumably has an exceptionally good relationship with his mom

s h a r p s h o o t e r

always gives new people the benefit of doubt

knows how to thread the needle

is bilingual

drapes himself across anything

is ambidextrous

has no understanding or interest in fancy words or math stuff

his first reaction to becoming a paladin and ‘protecting the universe’ was shock and fear

overlooks the most obvious things and is #shook when he finds out about them

is surprisingly analytical and knows how to read people

actively uses these skills on his friends - never against them of course, just to get to know them, calm them down or push them to overcome their fears

is the biggest dork

is afraid of dying

but did not hesitate even a second to save Coran from the bomb

he’s self-sacrificing that’s what he is

and homesick

is competitive to the point that he started a rivalry with Keith who barely even knew/remembered him

usually becomes useless around pretty girls until they open his eyes and screw him over

is so honest about his feelings in a private setting??? but only then

makes use of altean clothes

missed 10 days for a stomachache in 3rd grade that he never really had

is probably really good with kids and animals!!!!!

freaks out easily

randomly dances sometimes when he’s happy

was fully on board with collecting coins from a fountain because Pidge wanted that one video game that he couldn’t care less about

loves water!! and the ocean!!! is probably a really amazing swimmer!!!!

is the quickest to call shotgun

arguably has the best fashion sense

puns are good if he makes them,,, but only if he makes them

exaggerates most of his movements

food goo,,, face masks,,,,,

always wrecked the garrison simulator back on earth

confronts anyone - no matter how much he looks up to them or wants to impress them - if he thinks that irrational decisions are being made

CONCLUSION: Lance is a good kid!! I love him!!

[pidge] [shiro] [hunk] [allura] [coran]

[olliemoonn-deactivating]

Maybe I’m just the 5th wheel, 7th if you count Allura and Coran.

let the boy find happiness in season 3

[keiths-stupid-mullet]

Can we get a list of reasons why you love Coran?

Sure thing, here you go!! :D

is a trained soldier

rambles a lot; most stuff seems nonsensical and irrelevant but sometimes things actually appear later in the show again

has impeccable posture *:･ﾟ✧

loves Allura a lot and is incredibly protective of her

seriously he was ready to take on Zarkon’s entire fleet by himself when the paladins were on their mission to get Allura back 

despite his quirky and almost carefree behavior he looks out for the paladins

knows how the castle ship works

was an emo teen

got the slipperies and, despite repeated protests, adapted pretty well to that

really wants to kick Zarkon’s ass

M O U S T A C H E

somehow?? knew that Pidge was a girl?????

was ready to pilot Red and got himself a fancy suit for it

CORAN CORAN THE G O R G E O U S  M A N

is overly dramatic at times  ALL TIMES  most times

but can actually act/pretend to be someone else pretty well if it really counts 

probably repeatedly cleans the healing pods

thinks he can cook

respected Allura’s wish to heal the Balmera despite knowing that she might not survive it

is responsible for giving us the space pirates outfits (bless him)

his pride makes him do/say stupid stuff sometimes

sometimes gets this really sad look in his eyes

likes to drink nunvil

befriended that one Arusian :’)

*wakes up after 10000 years of sleep* *is immediately ready for battle*

did the airplane thing on Shiro

tried to get the mice to make him a sandwich?? which apparently exists in Altean culture

was good friends with king Alfor

makes… interesting faces sometimes,,,,

[yaboykeiji]

Like hell the red lion is gonna let keith go so easily

bonus: black paladin, out. *throws double peace signs*

[keiths-stupid-mullet]

As requested by anon, have some reasons why I love Allura~

likes sparkly stuff

plays roadgames with the mice

the closer she is to someone, the more she shows her real emotions

“PALADINS YOU MUST GET BACK IMMEDIATELY” despite the paladins being engaged in battle/locked in/etc.

does hair makeovers when she’s bored

works herself past the point of exhaustion to defeat Zarkon and help everyone

didn’t know how to hold Galran guns

doesn’t take her earrings off for sleep

*folds hands in front of body*

can hold heartwarming speeches
