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
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
- pidge canonically has a bull terrier named bae-bae so here’s some feelings about that
- kathleen had originally wanted a ‘prettier’ dog
- but pidge was dead set on the small, underweight bull terrior who’d been stuck at the pound for a while
- bae bae (beeb for short) never leaves pidges side
-especially after sam and matt go missing
- he’s always with her and when she cries because her dad and brother might be dead he tucks himself under her chin and she holds him while she cries and he stays there until the moment has passed
- he sleeps in her bed no matter what, she could have the flu but he doesn’t care. he lays down beside her and rests his chin on her stomach and the second it seems like she might be having a nightmare he gently crawls up towards her face and licks her cheek soothingly
- once pidge ends up in space, kathleen finally starts to appreciate the dog she never wanted
- he’s all she has left of pidge and brings her comfort when she needs it
- now that His Girl is gone, he needs someone to rescue from the nightmares so he resumes his calming rituals but now he’s in kathleens bed instead of pidge’s
- once the war is over and the paladins can make trips back to earth, pidge is ready to bring her dog with her but. he’s too important to kathleen now, especially since voltron is still defending the universe from time to time
- so pidge gets another dog to bring with her onto the ship because all her friends have dogs and she needs one too!!
- he’s a schipperke and his name is Gregory
- he rests his head on her lap while she codes and she talks to him to work out coding issues she’s having. he’s a very good listener and his extremely human name makes her feel better about talking to him
lance / keith / shiro / pidge / hunk / allura / coran
Hello! I was wondering if you could do the paladins that their s/o can speak other languages. For example, I can speak french, so whenever I get frustrated, I slip a "merde!" or two out of habit.
A/N: of course anon! Sorry we haven’t been too active we’re working on getting to requests. Languages sure are the coolest thing! (so envious of polyglots) Anyways I kept the language unspecific to keep it relatable (also I barely know any other languages outside of English). I also took some liberties with the languages in-universe seeing as all the the aliens speak English :,D
Shiro
He finds the fact you can speak multiple languages so cool
He found a new appreciation after being held captive by the Galra
So many of the other prisoners would revert to their native languages, talking anxiously to each other
It really reminded him of how alone he felt
So he’s even more doubly happy to be with you (even if he can’t understand much, at least he knows it’s from home)
Whenever you accidentally slip in words from other languages you always get a bit embarrassed (but Shiro finds it adorable)
Hunk
He loves it
He likes quizzing you on foreign foods and trying to get you to guess their origin (“Hunk I’ve told you already I don’t speak that. It’s from space!”)
A hobby of yours is you getting the most obscure words and getting him to try pronounce them
Hilarity ensues
It’s all a bit silly and he always acts so goofy (but at least he’s your goof)
Pidge
Linguists is honestly one of their favorite things
Other than computer coding they don’t know many other languages and they find it so cool you know multiple
“Like you use that to actually talk to other human beings? It’s so fascinating to think how all over the Earth, humans developed different syllables into all these different words and grammar patterns to have complicated meanings and— ”
Summary: it’s hella cool
The two of you also bond over learning little tidbits from other languages from the galaxy (trying to decipher Altean was equally painful and exhilarating)
Keith
Even if he’s not one to openly lavish upon compliments, he can’t help but give a smile whenever you can use your languages to help out
“You were pretty amazing back there [name]”
When no one else is looking, he asks you for study tips
The side of him that never quite left behind kiddy spy games finds being bilingual pretty darn cool (and useful)
He mostly uses it as an excuse to have you to himself though
“I saw Lance looking at you— remember, you’re mine. Also how do I pronounce this again?”
Lance
Takes every opportunity to remind you how amazing you are
Specifically learns phrases from other languages you know just to try recreate english pick up lines
It usually goes terribly wrong
“Hey— you’re a dumpster, may I lift you?” if you’re trash how about I pick you up
Whenever he’s feeling down he loves listening to you just talk about whatever in English or any other language
“It just reminds me of home. You’re home. Love you [name].”
Her parents were always really supportive of her because her mom is bi.
Her parents went to pride parade every year, she first went when she was seven after begging her parents to take her.
She met a trans women there and realised that she was trans too.
She pretty much started to transition straight away.
She got bullied in school a lot.
But she had this one friend called Bree who would always defend her.
Actually one time they both got suspended for punching someone who was talking shit about Pidge.
Cutting her hair off was one of the hardest things she ever did.
But living as a boy was even harder. She was super depressed at the Garrison because of it.
Other then the occasional suspension/detention for fighting, she was 'that' student in school, the overachieving nerd.
She speaks Latin.
She actually read all the Latin editions of the Harry Potter books.
She took ballet and was a figure skating prodigy.
She took music lessons and played violin, piano and guitar. She also sang.
It was her dad who first got her into music, he played piano.
She stopped practicing her music after the Kerberos mission disappeared.
Actually she stopped doing all her extra-curriculur activities after they went missing, she was too busy obsessing over finding out what really happened.
Her favourite super hero is Iron Man.
She cannot stand reality TV.
She cosplays and sewed all her own costumes.
She's 17 and is just very short. (That handbook hasn't been officially confirmed as far as I know and until then I'm sticking with my hc)
She has a big crush on Keith.
She speaks fluent Italian and sometimes calls the others really random insults in Italian.
She has Aspergers.
She's absolutely addicted to coffe of all kinds. She had a really hard time adjusting to not having it in space.
She's a big nerd who writes fan fiction, draws fanart and has a fandom blog on tumblr.
All her followers think she's dead of something because she stopped posting so suddenly.
When she gets back to earth and logs into her account she'll find heaps of worried messages asking if she's okay and where she went.
I will probably add more as I come up with them tbh. Also I might do some for other characters.
Idk if you handle this kind of stuff but...Who trips the most? :D
I am totally open to things like this omg I love thinking about my children and their quirks.
And to answer your question there are two clumsy kids on the team: Pidge and Hunk.
Pidge just gets excited and goes slip sliding around everywhere like a tiny dog running on linoleum. She also, despite her previous bad experiences, goes skating into places on her socks and almost always plummets into a wall.
Hunk is just a tad bit clumsy by nature. He is getting better at it but he still doesn’t always have a grasp on throwing his weight around. Then when hes working on something he gets super messy, always ending a project covered in grease which means he not only tracks it all across the castle but he also slips like a deer on ice.
- Pidge really doesn't much miss their dresses or anything but Allura misses getting to be frivolous and play with pretty clothes and jewelery so Pidge goes along with it, Allura deserves a break too - One time Pidge fell asleep against Keith and slowly just kinda curled into him on the couch and Keith panicked a little and recieved no help - Pidge is not great with personal space all the time (ex: literally climbing various paladins like... constantly) - At least once Pidge has licked Lance's face on a bet/challenge (just Lance though) - Pidge has dared Keith to lick Lance's face, claiming it tastes like avocados -Pidge and Coran often bicker and end up imitating each other to be annoying but now Pidge has just gotten good at it and likes to climb through the vents to yell at Lance or Hunk in his voice - Keith has extended a permanent invitation to Pidge that if they ever get back to Earth and they need to get some quiet, they're always welcome in his hermit shack - Pidge wonders if Shiro left family behind too, but is too scared to ask still -Pidge's diary is the only record so far of everything they've gone through, and when they go back and see the transition from child, to undercover student, to protector of the universe, they feel a bit proud, but wonder if they're really cut out for this - Pidge's old daydreams of piloting a mission with their dad and Matt have become bittersweet - Keith actually gets really into gaming with Pidge, and its one of the few things that will get him to smile consistently - Pidge often ends up on Keith in some way while gaming, whether out of frustration or as a distraction technique it varies ("Hey Keith theres a bird on your head" "SHUT UP LANCE IM ALMOST WINNING")
request: hc's of the paladins seeing their s/o lose a limb in battle?
shiro, keith, lance, hunk, pidge
- mod asteria ✨
You didn’t really expect it to go that badly. Really. It was a simple mission. Get into the base, release some prisoners, direct them to escape pods and then get back to the castle. Without dying. Or suffer some sort of injury.
Unfortunately, that was exactly what happened.
You were fighting. That was all that you could recall. You were surrounded by Galra sentries and fighting desperately to complete your mission. The battle was hard and your opponent was tough. There was a sudden flash of weapons, then you lost feeling in your [non dominant] hand. In your daze, you were knocked down and all you remembered was screaming from your fellow paladins before you dropped to the ground.
Shiro
shiro doesn’t seem to panic on the outside
inside? he’s kinda panicking
first, he checks to make sure that nothing can hurt you while you’re unconscious
next, he either shout orders at the other paladins to make sure nothing else similar happens
or he charges in and proceeds to take down every single sentry around him
when he knows that you aren’t in any immediate danger, he’s picking you up (carefully) and making his way back in the castle to get you into a healing pod
he’s feels really bad once he discovers that you’ve pretty much lost your [non dominant] arm
even if you brush it off, he’s not going to let go of it
please make him feel better
“hey shiro we match!”
“yes [name], that’s not necessarily a good thing”
his dad mode turns on for the first few weeks after the incident and trying to help you work your way around without the use of an arm
will eventually ask allura if there’s any altean tech which can help you or which can replace your arm (like his kinda did)
Keith
keith just turns scary
once he realises you’re injured with some not very pg-13 rated injuries, he’s really mad
he just kinda turns into a fighting machine and within a few seconds or so, whichever enemy had injured you is also gone now
as well as any surrounding sentries
actually, every other enemy they were fighting previously
to be honest, it’ll be up to mainly the other paladins to make sure you’re safe as keith is already running off to destroy enemies
he does not care if the galra have some sort of sob story they plead him with, they hurt you and they’re going down
shiro has to calm him down afterwards because although it’s normally you calming keith down, you kinda physically can’t at the moment
afterwards, he mopes around in front of your healing pod and hoping desperately that you’ll survive
he sits there, looking at you and where your arm once was and feels really bad about not protecting you well enough
he heads to the training deck every now and then, letting out his frustation out at the training bot
once you’re out, he doesn’t leave your side and just low-key clings on you
if you need anything, he’s there and ready to help
Lance
lance freezes at first, then he sees that you’ve gotten hurt
he rushes to you, sees the extent of the damage and his heart feels like it’s stopped
he says something reassuring, although you can’t hear him
and from next to you, he’s suddenly shooting every enemy with some scary accuracy
soon, pretty much it’s all safe and lance just picks your unconscious body up and gets back to the castle as fast as his legs will take him
you’re immediately inside the healing pod and he waits outside the entire time
a lot like keith, he also stares at where your arm once was and feels really sad
like, how are you going to just survive in general?
and he mentally declares that he’s going to stick by your side to help you wherever he can
once you’re out, he does just that
it gets a bit annoying sometimes to the point where he’s carrying you around everywhere bridal style
if you tell him to stop, he’ll pout and stop for a bit
like shiro, he’ll eventually go to allura or coran to see if there’s any altean tech that can be used to get use of an arm back
Hunk
hunk feels extremely conflicted
he’s scared, annoyed, angry and sad all at the same time
he panics at first, then once he calms down, he’s hauling you up as carefully as he can and making sure that you’re not dying on him
might throw up if he focuses on the fact that you’re lowkey bleeding out and no longer have an arm
once you’re in the healing pod, he visibly relaxes
but he’s still worried
his time is spent half watching you and half stress-baking
when the paladins get hungry, it’s nice, but it got a little out of hand
when you wake up, he’s already hugging you and rambling on about how sorry he is
even if you comfort him, he’ll still continue to feel really bad about letting you get hurt
he’s a sweet boy and he’s constantly helping you with whatever you need
he’s not like lance tho, he can tell when you really don’t want him to baby you
he’ll probably employ pidge to build you an arm after a while because he can’t bear to see you struggle when you need to do something with two arms
Pidge
pidge freezes and she just stops
she’s terrified for the moment because she thinks that she’s going to lose you and having lost her brother & dad before, that’s not good when you’re her s/o
she stops what she’s doing, shouts to the other paladins that she’s heading back with you and just zooms as fast as she can to the castle
her heart is pounding and she just wants you to be alive
she can see the fact that you kinda don’t have an arm, but she pushes her feelings down
once you’re safe inside the healing pod, she moves all her equipment to the infirmary (?) so she can be there when you wake up
when you’re out, she’s just quiet
she doesn’t know what to say or do
scold you for not being careful?
cry and apologise for not doing better?
you make the first move to hug her
it’s a bit awkard because your arm is kinda not there
pidge then gets to work building a prosthetic arm because she can do that and she will do that for her s/o
