Pidge should've been an alien in VLD
Yeah, I'm back on this thought.
Not sure if I've shared it before or not, but we've also seen things I've worked on with art and fics.
A non-Earthling Pidge in VLD would've been AMAZING.
DotU and VF both gave us "Pidge isn't of Earth", pointing out that the green lad in both of those iterations were from the planet Balto. Sure, sure, it was an excuse to show the planet blow up in DotU and write it differently so it's not Earth like it was in GoLion, but.
WEP started this and I'm living for non-Earthling Pidge in VLD.
Like, don't get me wrong, I'm perfectly fine and dandy with Keith being half Galra. It's neat. The probabilities and working with that are endless.
But like man.
Quit hogging the alien aspect to yourself! Pidge had it first in prior versions of Voltron! Let this pidge have some of it, too!
And it could be fun. Like, her not knowing she's part alien or her definitely knowing she's not Earthling and vibing with it.
The possibilities are ENDLESS.
So yeah.
I just wanted to get this ran out of the way and share with y'all.
Pidge should've been alien or have alien ties in VLD.
And, with sticking to part of VLD canon, I feel like it could've worked.
Like, she could have potentially not known, much like Keith in canon. This could've also worked out with her not knowing and Keith being aware he's Galran or even looking the part and introducing good Galra much earlier and having team issues with Allura distrusting him but getting to see him for who he is sooner. And Pidge learning later on she's not as human as she thought.
Or, for a second idea, Keith still not knowing and Pidge fully knowing what she is. Like, imagine Keith being part of the Garrison trio instead, potentially butting heads with Lance a lot but the two also being close, and when they head off into space with the blue lion, instead of escaping right away, they get caught. And thrown into a prisoner holding cell where Pidge, an alien previously captured, is sitting and figuring out her own way of getting out.
Dudes, the probabilities are there.
We really needed alien Pidge.
Would've gone so well with her tech adaptability, too.
Anyway, I'll leave that here for the time being.
Hope y'all enjoyed this little ramble.
Until next time!
