#keith hc

[catsushinyakajima]

This one time I was trying to take off acrylics and had the bright idea to use the mini saw on my Swiss Army knife to saw it off and now there are knife marks on my nails. I’m just saying . <- Keith kogane

[ronihilator]

A personal headcanon of mine is that Texas kept boxes and boxes of records/cds/cassette tapes. Sorted by genre, in alphabetical order. Jazz, country, dad rock, blues, R&B.

When he met Krolia, he introduced her to human music with these records. He wasn't sure what Galran music was like, what Krolia would like, though he went through every box with her to learn. Imagine his surprise when this badass, highly trained galran warrior prefers to listen to The Ronettes and Ben E. King. He began to pick up more oldies for her, teaching her the artists' names and the respective genres she preferred.

When she left, Tex set aside a box of all her favorites and played them for Keith growing up. Keith learned music through him the same way Krolia did, though he leaned more towards rock and blues, he had an unwavering fondness for all the music in the displaced, unsorted box of worn records.

When his Dad died in the field and Keith was surrendered to foster care for having no close living relatives, he always kept cassette tapes and players with him to help ease the affliction of missing his Dad. It reminded him of the lull of music in the shack, of his Dad's collection, of the familiar tunes from the unsorted box constantly being replayed.

hypermobile keith kogane.

keith who LOVES to flaunt the fact that when he got forcibly diagnosed at the garrison they took 17 tubes of blood from him and he wasnt even dizzy

keith who has a hot water bottle inside of a hippo plush for when his hips or knees start to ache

he tapes up his ankles and wrists and has a sleeve on his right knee

when he cracks his back EVERYONE stops because truly it sounds like there is a bone breaking

keith who has to take a minimum of six extra strength ibuprofen to get it to work because of how many he took while in school

recreational swimmer keith because it soothes all his aching joints

the doctors at the garrison looked keith future paladin of the red lion dead in his lying little eyes and said do not bend in odd positions as a party trick

he left their office and immediately goes up to lance and bends his thumb back to his wrist because look at what i can do fucker

he’s a tea drinker because he can not so subtly press the cup to his wrist to alleviate the ache

(lance who understands. lance who learns from pidge who is also hypermobile how to take care of keith. lance who crafts microwavable beanbags for keith and makes sure there’s always a pillow tucked into the curve of his spine if he sleeps on his back)

Hc where Shiro learns korean to say his vowels to Keith in

And Keith does the same in japanese <33

They both shock each other into ugly crying in front of everyone but Krolia who helped Shiro and Keirh's duolingo account are both v proud

[Idk where I stand with Shiro's parents-I feel like the fandpm has collectively decided they're dead or just not in his life so I've just never thought about it...also I hc Keith as japaness-korean partially for the sake of thia hc and also my own personal hyperfixations but that'a a whole 'nother story]

Basically Keith brushed up on his japanese because he's out of practice [rip papa kogane] and shiro cries over the memory for weeks after the fact

This was supposed to be a short hc...sorry guys haha

the paladins as things my 3 yr nephew says/does

pidge:

she can see any surface that she can climb on, and she will climb it, or if she sees a tiny space she will hide there or just chill there. yes or yes. so yeah, you can find her on the fridge, or trying to climb the christmas tree, or just hiding under the table, or that space between two armrests. and she will scare the living shit out of everyone.

lance: *sits on the sofa to watch a movie*

pidge: *from under the armrest* can you give me some popcorn

lance: LA MADRE QUE TE PARIO 

----

lance:

he wont let you go out if you’re wearing smth you wear everyday. if he sees you, he will go to your closet and say “wear this.” if you dont he won’t let you go out. literally.

keith: *comes out wearing the same clothes*

lance: *pulls out an outfit he had ready* if you dont wear this i will cry.

----

shiro:

will literally pout if you were giving him attention and then do smth else. like you could be playing with his hair, and then remember you have to do smth and you go do it and shiro will literally sit there and try to not pout

hunk: i’ll be right back, i have to take the cookies out

shiro: alright

*30 mins go by*

shiro: *sniff*

----

keith:

can be 48 hrs without sleeping correctly, or not sleepng at all, and be dying of lack of sleep, yet somehow he will be the most hyperactive piece of shit

shiro: keith... maybe you should go to sleep...

keith: *jumping on the bed with iced coffe: no.

----

hunk: 

whenever he’s not cooking he likes to be there on the kitchen just to see what the others are doing, and he wont leave.

lance: *trying to cook some eggs* lance: you’re getting me anxious by the way you’re glaring at me

hunk: YOU DIDNT PUT SALT ON THE EGG

[inanthesis]

Fun fact about Keith because why not: He is the opposite of a morosexual, he is EXCLUSIVELY attracted to NERDS. Talk to him about space and technology and shit. He may not always know what you’re saying but he sure likes it.

[paladinwrites]

request: could you do hc's for the paladins with an s/o who's been really touch-starved for a lot of their life so like, little acts of intimacy (long hugs, kissing, cuddling, etc.) often makes them break down and cry (even though they really want/like the affection)

anon, don’t call me out

but these got extremely long and a tad repetitive whoops

shiro, keith, lance, hunk, pidge

- mod asteria ✨

Shiro

at first, shiro moves his arm to loop over your shoulder

and you kinda just freeze

and lowkey shut down

shiro thinks he’s hurt you by accident when he suddenly feels that you’ve tensed up all of a sudden

and suddenly, he’s worrying like “have I done something wrong? are you alright?”

he immediately moves his arm off and is in front of you and making sure you’re not dying

if the arm he touched you with was his prosthetic, he’s even more worried

when tears start to seep out of your eyes, shiro just dies on the inside and he’s absolutely convinced that he’s something

although by now, tears are visibly running down your cheeks and you’re starting to cry, it’s a little hard to actually form words while you’re crying

shiro’s extremely worried, if I haven’t made that obvious

but when you decide that it’s too hard to tell him verbally, you kinda just lean into him so he’s kinda forced to half-catch and half-hug you

the two of you just stay like that and shiro gradually realises that you actually really needed that half-hug

after a while, you calm down enough to explain to him the specifics

he’s a little miffed about whatever happened when you were younger to make you like this, but he decides to change the fact you’re touch starved

although he’s careful about what he’s doing, he makes sure to at least have some sorts of intimacy because he knows that although you might tear up, you still do want it

Keith

I’ve mentioned before that I have a personal headcanon that keith himself is also touch starved, so expect in here

keith isn’t the type to initiate anything in public so the first time he realises your situation, it’s when you two are in his room

it was a tad sudden, keith suddenly just wrapped an arm around your waist

you just jumped suddenly and tears start to form

keith just mentally shuts down because he thinks he’s done something horribly wrong

despite whatever he may have been doing with you beforehand, he thinks he accidentally blew up at you with his temper and is already apologising

he suddenly seems very cautious to touch you

but when you shake your head, start wiping your tears and start to explain that you just aren’t used to touches like that

but you stress the fact that it’s something that you like/want

as you explain, keith’s face just falls and he understands

when you stop talking, he just awkwardly wraps his arms around you in a hug

the two of you just stay there for some time, dwelling in each other’s company and comfort

the two of you spend a lot of time in each other’s general company, just with each other

it’s two touch starved people together and it’s like a natural balance that just works

Lance

now, lance can usually be quite touchy in a relationship

however, the first time he did physically touch you with an intimate gesture that elicted a reation out of you was a quick peck on your cheek

previously, you had been extremely content with the touches and nothing of the sorts really hinted for lance that you were a little touch starved

but after you kinda looked a little started and tears started to leak out of your eyes

well lance, like everyone else, would be beyond worried

once you explain to him, he’s just extremely sad for you

him growing up in a big family meant that touch starvation (is that a term?) wasn’t a thing in his childhood and hugs were frequent

knowing that you didn’t have the same sort of happiness, per say, it just makes him sad

like, no hugs?

wow, that’s not on

it’s now suddenly a given that whenever lance sees you, he either hugs you or places a gentle kiss on your cheek

over time, if your reaction gradually changes to be flustered, he’s gonna tease you about it and coo that it’s cute

with him, it’s already lots of random touches and kisses

so when he knows that you’ve been needing them, get ready for more because it’s going to be a lot

he just wants you to feel loved

and when you’re with lance, you’re definitely going to feel loved

Hunk

hunk, although he can be shy when it comes to pda, he loves you very much and will show it most of the time with touches

the first time he properly hugged you, he could feel you kinda tense up in his arms

and then he suddenly lets go and goes all “is something the matter?”

and then his mind jumps to the fact that he’s possibly hurt you somewhere 

you’re going to have to pull him back to reality because he thinks that he’s either hugged you too hard or you simply didn’t like the hug

depending on how well you’re currently faring (whether you’re too overwhelmed to talk, etc.), you either explain to him first or just shake your head and hug him back

and just muffled talking of ‘how you just want it’

hunk, a lot like lance, is sad

like he’s had a loving family who also hugged frequently

but you?

wow, he feels horrible, even if he had nothing to do with it

he hugs you back

that’s when you lowkey breakdown and tear up

when he feels the tears on him, his stomach sinks

however dire he thought the situation was before, he believes it to be way worse

like, you’ve been this touch starved for this long?

like pretty much everyone else, the intimate gestures he does are done more often than if he didn’t know you were touch starved

it’s more of the long hugs and the general side-by-side comfort and arms tangled around each other with him

Pidge

pidge herself isn’t very touchy in general

like, this girl tends to prefer a computer over a tree and definitely over attempting to converse with an actual human being

which is also why she’s quite awkward in this relationship

I feel the intimacy wouldn’t happen as much until you two were closer

but regardless, it was this one time you were sitting next to pidge while she worked on some tech in her room

you were technically there to drag her to bed, because think about it, pidge never actually sleeps

somehow, you got distracted with watching her and the two of you just sat there for a long while

at one point, you nagged for a bit and since pidge it kinda sleepy then (she won’t ever admit it), she just leans over and wraps her arms around

and she closes her eyes and just leans against you

we know what happens by now, right?

it definitely caught you off guard

and the tears come

wow, when pidge just feels you shaking, she woke up so fast

she can see that there’s tears coming down your face and she doesn’t know how to react

did she do something?

but when you kinda hug her back, she feels a bit more relived

and when you explain to her about being touch starved and the sorts, she doesn’t know what to feel

like, what happened to your family??

what did they do?

does she go small angry gremlin on them when she meets them?

yeah, maybe she will go small angry gremlin on them

please don’t encourage her

your relationship will definitely have more of those ‘silent-in-each-other’s-company-and-hug’ moments

it’s small steps, but pidge makes an effort and especially knowing you haven’t had that much when you were younger, pidge is determined
