PRIDE MONTH? TIME FOR SOME PRIDE HEADCANONS

I'll be posting a different Pride headcanon of Voltron characters everyday (or as often as I can), and today I'm going to start off with the one that nobody can argue with me because it's canon: Shiro!

Shiro knew he wasn't straight since forever.

He didn't realise the norm was liking girls, he always preferred guys, but never thought much about it.

Of course, until he met Adam.

He was a great pilot and pretty cute, causing Shiro to become a blushing mess.

He knew what was happening right away, but that didn't make it any easier.

He'd keep failing practice simulations because he was distracted by Adam (because of course the garrison decided that they should be on a team together).

Adam was pretty pissed but didn't really show it, until one crash on a day he was already stressed.

"What the FUCK is wrong with you?!"

Shiro was stunned for a moment, guilt immediately overtaking him, and he had to hold back tears. He couldn't show weakness, he shouldn't have weaknesses while protecting the earth.

But here's Adam, messing up everything.

"I'm sorry."

Adam was exasperated.

"No, thank you, but that's not what I'm talking about. You're top of the class, and were a legend in the simulator for practically never crashing, but I come in and-wow. You're trying to make me fail, aren't you?"

Shiro was absolutely stunned.

"No, that's-no. Not what is happening."

"Then what is?"

"Uh...well, you see..."

Adam stared at him, unimpressed.

Shiro turned and looked at the opposite direction of Adam.

"I'm really gay and you're really cute."

Adam's silence afterward made Shiro turn around, apologies already on his tongue, until he saw a tomato where Adam had been. Wait, no, Adam was a tomato.

"...what?"

"I like you, okay? I'm sorry. I've never liked anyone before and you're so cute and I can't take my eyes off you-"

Adam interupted him by pressing his lips to his.

And that's how the garrison found out Shiro and Adam liked guys, and how they became the famed space couple.

As you all may know, I am a multi shipper, and I wouldn't mind writing shatt or shurtis. Or a poly relationship. Just let me know and that may end up as one of these pride month posts! Also, I refuse to differ with sexualities that are declared or writing a straight relationship for Keith. It just... feels wrong. But yeah, hope you enjoyed, and I'll see you tomorrow!

Pride Month: Pidge!

Wow I haven't been keeping up with this promise but anyways-

Katie never liked her name.

She couldn't really place it, but she just didn't.

When her brother started calling her Pidge, she immediately knew it fit.

It felt so right, and ended up being her name when she changed her identity for the garrison.

But even then, he didn't feel at place.

He felt the same as when he was Katie, a she.

Pidge didn't understand why, but still reverted back to she/her pronouns in hopes that it would feel more right than he/him.

It didn't.

When they returned back to earth, Pidge still was confused about her identity. In more ways than one, actually.

Not only did her gender feel wrong, everyone else around her was in love or was thinking about love or wishing to be in love.

She didn't care about romance in the slightest, and while she was out in space she thought it might be an age thing. But now? Seeing everyone her age experiencing romance made her feel... empty.

Like she was missing out.

She didn't truly care about romance, but it was weird to see everyone else in love, and felt like she was a misfit, the odd one out.

Then, she met up with a childhood friend.

That childhood friend was named Westin, and he actually didn't experience romantic feelings as well.

Since he was more used to Earth's modern culture than she was, he explained what being ace was.

It fit perfectly.

She no longer looked at couples in guilty confusion, she actually didn't even look at them anymore. Well, not any different than she would two friends.

She felt right.

But she still felt something missing.

Pidge was so frustrated, she thought that maybe since she was ace, knowing that would solve all her problems.

It didn't.

Her gender still felt wrong, and she didn't know what to do.

She thought gender and romance were connected, but looking at Pan people made her realise that, no, it wasn't connected. Well, at least in the way she thought it was.

So, now she was just confused.

One night she went over Lance's and just ranted about her frustration, and Lance ended up just smiling softly at her.

"What?"

"I think you should meet someone."

That 'someone' was Lance's cousin, Rey.

He never mentioned Rey's pronouns, just left Pidge and Rey in a room.

"Hey, Pidge. Lance asked me to talk to you but didn't specify why so..."

"I honestly don't know why I'm here either. I was just ranting to him about some frustration I've had recently and he said I should talk to you."

"You're gonna have to be more specific, Pidge. What type of frustration?"

"...gender."

A smirk fell across Rey's face.

"Now it makes sense."

Pidge looked at Rey with a questioning look.

"Pidge, how many genders do you think there are?"

"Two, obviously. Male and female. Oh, wait, three, there's intersex."

Rey sighed and shook their head.

"Actually, there's more than you can count. I'm not male, female, or intersex, I'm nonbinary."

"Nonbinary? As in, not a binary gender? How?"

"I don't feel male or female. I don't want to put on huge amounts of makeup or wear dresses, and I don't want to drive fast cars or whatever, I just want to do whatever regardless of gender stereotypes. I also have gender dysphoria, which causes me to hate specific parts of my body that have a specific gender tied to them. It can get really bad, but I'm happy I have a supportive family that can help me through it."

Pidge just stared at them with wide eyes.

"So that's why Lance wanted me to talk to you."

Rey smirked.

"Yup, my cousin is a pretty smart guy and I owed him a favor anyways."

"Lance? Smart?"

Pidge had a smirk on their face.

"Yep. Our family actually has a history of huge EQ. Of course we have decent IQ as well, but our family is known for how well we deal with social situations."

"So Lance is emotionally smart?"

"Yep."

"Hm..."

Pidge looked down at herself and felt the same feeling as always: discontentment with an eerie feeling she could only explain as feeling like she was in the wrong body. She took a sharp gasp in.

"Wait, so this discontentment I've been having with my body is dysphoria?"

Rey nodded.

"If it makes you feel like you are in the wrong body, yes."

Pidge softly nodded.

"I think I'm nonbinary."

"I do as well. Normally I would suggest different genders to at least get you to think about it, but it seems that nonbinary is fitting you well."

"Yeah... wait, normally?"

Rey smiled.

"I'm an LGBTQ+ therapist and help with situations like this all the time. Lance saw you struggling with your gender identity and asked me to help with my professional opinion."

Pidge reached over and quickly hugged them before leaning back.

"Thank you."

"No problem."

And that's how Pidge found out they were nonbinary and ace.
