unexpected discoveries

monotone version

[hchano]

my second contribution to the binary stars zine.

sadly the fic, WHICH IS RLY GOOD, never got posted [long story, not mine to tell ;u;] but this was a telepath!keith/blind!shiro AU. basically keith is a captured BoM, and is sent to the arena in chains to be executed by a beast, but then a blind galra is thrown in to the arena was well, with a weapon. keith is able to convince him they can work together and using his telepathic link, shiro is able to defeat the beast.

afterward, they are thrown together more often in the arena and over time keith learns shiro is actually a human who has been experimented on and altered heavily. he also ends up teaching him about galra culture and how to navigate some of the wierd shit galra go thru [since shiro is experiencing a lot of galra instincts lol].

meanwhile the BoM are working on freeing keith, but keith will not leave without shiro :')

so in this scene, we have keith tracing coordinates on shiro's back, in hopes that he will be able to use them to escape. i do hope viper posts this fic one day but if not, just know it was rly good and liek the perfect slowburn.

extras under the cut!

so as i keep saying this was a rly good fic. i had like 5 diff scenes i rly wanted to draw but i realized i was NOT going to be able to fit any of them into only 3 pages lol… that didn't stop me from TRYING more than once tho…

attempt #1, 3 pics:

this scene is them bathing [PLATONICALLY] after a round in the arena. keith is lamenting about shiro geting hurt due to keith's reckless fighitng style leaking into shiro thru the mind meld, and thinks about how shiro still moves like he has his human body too, which shiro picks up on thanks to the mind link [which is something of a habit at this point lol]. shiro is angsting about the fact he actually dosen't know the extent of what has been done to him thanks to the injury that blinded him, and after asking to see how he looked as a human, keith ends up reassuring him that he's still a cutie lol.

the page with the dialogue only is when i realized there was no way i was fitting that scene into 3 pages lol.

attempt #2:

this scene is basically near the start to the fic. keith is brought in to the arena and chained to a pylon. he hears a bunch of rly loud monster noises and pounding at the door across the arena and is like, wow i am actually fucked 8D then shiro is brought in and thrown to the ground, along with a weapon. keith watches him try to feel around for the weapon and realizes he's blind, then calls out to him. shiro immediately goes into attack mode but keith is able to convince him that they can be allies, and briefly explains he's a telepath before melding their minds so that shiro can see through his eyes, and after a bit of clumsiness they are able to beat the beast this way :D

my designs for the boys. i have unclothed versions too that show off all their markings and scars but i feel like that would get the post flagged so these will have to do lol. i did post them on twitter tho, if you wanna bother looking there. also yes, this design is rly similar to the other contribution i did for this zine, which is because i rly like the idea of keith having these specific markings LOL. this is p much my official go to glara!keith design.

just two lil chibi guys

i actually finished this with shading, but for the life of me cannot find it, so old phone pic it is. this is post-fic, after shiro joins the bom. [so uh not so shocking spoiler, they both survive and escape lol]

Okay, so I tried to post this earlier, but I don't think it was successful. I am rewriting and reposting this now, just in case. This is a fanfiction speculation based on Keith from Voltron. For this reason, I am going to be be starting with the speculation before moving onto the fanfiction inspired by it. This idea was inspired by the number of Voltron rewrites that have been showing up.

Speculation

Keith and Krolia are galra-altean hybrids. When Voltron was still getting new seasons, there was a very popular post talking about how full blooded galras had two types to them, ones that are reminiscent of cats, think Ulaz, and those similar to reptiles, think Zarkon. However, neither Keith or Krolia any distinction to either party. If anything, Krolia resembles Lotor, a half galran-altean, more than anything else. I mean, look at them!

Light purple skin

Pointed ears

Yellow surroundings purple eyes

Angular faces

Face markings

If anything, the only thing they have different is their hair. Where Lotor's is slick and kept like a skin attached to him, Krolias is fluffy. Make a silhouette of her and tell me it doesn't look like she would have the iconic bat ears of any mammamilian galra.

Another point to this is that Keith's original design was supposed to have white hair, very peculiar. Not to mention how we only see galra traits once having been exposed into quintessence or under extreme pressure while in a quintessence filled lab.

So speculation, Krolia, and thus Keith, are galra-altean hybrids. Now fanfiction time!

Fanfiction

Keith is actually drained to quitnesence. Think about it! He is much more human than what should be normal, especially looking at his mother. I say that in this, when Keith is born on Earth, Krolia wants him to stay on Earth until the war is ended. When he comes out looking more like her, or his grandpa's because let's be honest Cat Ear Keith is good, she decides to use altean shapeshifting and quitnesence to KEEP Keith with a more human body, the only part truly unchangeable being his eyes.

When his dad(now being dubbed by me as Hector Keith Kogane) has to go to work of into town, he would have the Blue Lion take for him once Krolia was gone. (Cough cough explanation to why it was able to create a wormhole) Mostly because I think it would be cute and tragic if a young Keith would be fed stories about him bringing Blue his paladin believing he would finally have a friend after spending all of his life isolated. For some reason(I like angst so I say Krolia dies and Hector someone finds out) his dad stops taking him to the cave. Because he was unable to form memories yet, he doesn't remember this. He just knows life was once just him and his dad, then it was house to house, good to bad and worse.

Keith, having been drained from a young age, ends up being the most exhausted after having to form Voltron. Moreover, he is very delicate once sick or to magic. I just think this would have fun implications to the story, now go run!

Excerpt from my Area 51 Sheith fic! 

... Keith opened the door, placing his backpack and Red’s carrier on the seat as he slipped out of the car. He walked past Shiro, ignoring his intrigued gaze, and walked all the way to the edge of the roof of the gas station. 

He shivered, his teeth starting to chatter—the air had become cold and wet, worse than the previous night. The bitter cold seeped in through his hoodie, nipping at his arms. A gust of wind hit him in the face, spraying him with ice-cold water. 

Keith was quickly realizing that he had never truly experienced cold. Yes, the halls of Area 51 had always run a bit chillier than he liked—they never spared a cent on keeping the building a safe haven from the dry heat of Nevada. 

But he wouldn’t let this stop him. He couldn’t stop now. 

Hesitantly, he held out his hand. Cold, fat raindrops pelted his palm, quickly soaking it. 

He closed his eyes, inhaling deeply. The air smelled like a mixture of dirt and gasoline. 

Keith had no words for the sensations he was experiencing. No word could truly capture what he was feeling. A deep sense of joy welled inside his heart, and he couldn’t keep the smile from his face as the rain planted kiss after kiss on his palm. 

He hadn’t known it was possible to feel like this. That it was possible to feel something beyond the state of indifference or sadness he had become accustomed to in his first twenty-one years of life.  

If being outside those walls meant he could feel like this all the time, then he never wanted to go back.  ... Like what you read? Read the first two chapters here! https://archiveofourown.org/works/34713019/chapters/86429212

a Man, a Monster

have my attempt at galra!Keith Kogane >>

yes, I do realize the voltron fandom is dead

[ansisime]

‪Lance: Hey~ you’re beautiful *finger-guns*‬

Keith: *see finger-guns* Put down your weapons!‬

‪Lance is lucky he didn’t die for always flirting in deadly situations‬

Very late to the game, idk how or why but I suddenly got into Voltron

I couldn’t decide between Altean Lance or regular Lance McClain so I did both. Keith is also a combo between Krolia and Galra with fuzzy ears cause I like the fennec fox ears
