For pidge: as a science gremlin, what is your take on wearing makeup on yourself? Maybe light makeup? And do you do your nails? You work with your hands a lot but would a science or space theme nails look amazing on you?

Hi! Okay so... makeup and nails... hmm. Let’s just say it’s not really my top priority?
I do own makeup, but I mostly use it for special occasions. Like, if there’s a party or something, I’ll go with light mascara, a bit of lip gloss, and maybe some subtle eyeshadow... Just to feel a little fancier. Nothing over the top. For bigger events, I usually let Veronica do it for me. She’s way better at it than I am. Still keep it natural though... My skin’s kind of annoyingly sensitive and I hate taking it all off at the end.
Honestly? Day to day, I don’t bother. I’m usually buried in my lab, building something, or helping out with missions... so yeah, makeup isn’t really part of my routine. Half the time my hair’s a mess, too. But hey... Science first, style later, right?
As for nails, when I was younger, pre-Voltron days, I loved doing my nails. Letting them grow out, doing little galaxy or techy patterns... I was pretty good at it, actually. But once I started piloting and working with tech 24/7, I had to keep them short. Gloves + long nails = disaster.
That said, I did paint them during a vacation once. Keith came with me: we got a little nail day together. He kept it simple: got them cleaned up and went for a matte black polish on his natural short nails. So I matched with longer black nails and added little stars. It was so cute. He ended up asking for the drawings too, so we matched completely. Might’ve melted a little inside, not gonna lie.
I still take care of my nails and skin, I just keep it simple. Natural, clean, low maintenance. I just don't really think of doing more... Because of my job, but also because I don't really have time!
