whenever lance does something stupid pidge swivels around and looks into a fake camera like she’s on The Office. it usually has something to do with keith
lance, sweating as he watches keith take down three sentries in the span of two seconds: “jesus christ that’s jason bourne”
pidge: Office Stare
shiro secretly has a super dark sense of humor and can never let the other paladins know about it
pidge: “self-care is drinking two red bulls and staying awake for 20 consecutive hours” lance: “self-care is fighting sendak behind a denny’s”
shiro, under his breath as he pinches the bridge of his nose and fights the dual urge to laugh and also lecture them on better habits: “self-care is yeeting myself out of the airlock”
coran: “self-care is wandering straight into a pack of yalmors and getting ripped to shreds” lance, horrified: “... good... try, coran?”
((bonus: keith: “self-care is fighting zarkon on the astral plane” lance, with tears in his eyes: “keith, my young padawan, i’m so proud”))
once, after allura pulls a drill and makes them all get up at the ass crack of space dawn, lance turns toward shiro and asks him how he looks so awake this early
shiro, in a monotone: “i’ve been dead inside for fifty years”
shiro also has a soft spot for drew gooden’s “road work ahead” vine because he’s a twenty-something Dad
whenever lance catches pidge doing something weird, he whistles the x-files theme song. once he caught pidge and keith dead asleep behind the couch in the common area and it scared the shit out of him, so now he does it to keith, too
shiro tries not to laugh, but one time he catches keith sneaking into the kitchen in the middle of the night and slowly whistles the theme down the hall. keith isn’t amused
whenever lance gets flustered he “coolcoolcoolcool”s himself into oblivion
one day keith is hardcore training like the badass he is and suddenly pulls his shirt up to wipe his face
lance, one eye twitching: “coolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcoolcool”
hunk and pidge roll their eyes in perfect unison
he also does this the first time he sees allura fight and dissolves into a state of utter awe
pidge: “what’s wrong with you” lance: “i think i met god” pidge: “cool. what does she look like?” “ethnically ambiguous” (a la b99)
once pidge accidentally consumes space alcohol (they were at a celebration or something and someone handed her a drink and by the time shiro realized what was going on and shouted “PIDGE--nO--” from across the room it was too late) and is drunk and tired enough that she agrees to help lance act out some of her favourite vines
near the end, pidge is holding keith’s marmora blade to act out the “bitch i hope the fuck you do” vine when shiro walks in and hurriedly tries to hide it behind her back
shiro: “katie, what do you have” pidge, making a mad dash for the door: “a kNIFE” “NO”
shiro is in full frantic mother mode. lance, hunk and keith are all on the floor laughing
this becomes one of keith’s favorite vines
one night when lance is having a Crisis in the castle observatory keith walks in and lance high-key panics and blurts “hi welcome to chili’s!!” before hightailing it out of there in shame. keith doesn’t know what he did wrong
bonus: pidge somehow overhears or finds security tapes of the incident and will never let lance live it down
pidge has woken everyone up with a rickroll at least once. thankfully, keith was with the blade at the time, or someone may have been stabbed
after pidge and matt have reunited and fought the bounty hunter, matt crouches down into a squat, brandishes his staff and screams “don’t fuck with me! i have the power of god AND anime on my side! AHHH!” pidge cries and laughs at the same time
matt and lance don’t really get along at first because lance feels like he’s being forgotten by the Science Pals and is insecure
then, before voltron goes on a mission, lance is trying to get everyone’s spirits up and ends his pep talk with “what team are we?”
matt, without missing a beat: “W I L D C A T S”. they immediately become friends and Partners in meme
lance, pidge and matt vs the rest of the castle’s level of Done: an unstoppable force vs an unmoving object
matt: “do you ever think about the fact that the galra are basically just giant alien furries” lance, wide-eyed: “oh my god you’re right” (pidge is on her laptop, slowly whistling the x-files theme)
the next battle, lance’s war call is “yiff yiff, motherfuckers”. shiro has never been more disappointed in him
pidge: “you: the galra. me, an intellectual: purple space furries”
pidge, holding up a random object at the space mall: “look dad, it’s the good kush” shiro, reluctantly: “this is the dollar store how good can it be”
pidge, hunk and lance have definitely sung “you are my dad! you’re my dad! boogie woogie oogie!” to shiro in perfect harmony
shiro pretends he’s annoyed, yet deep in his heart, he is very touched that his space kids consider him a father figure but he can never let them know
alternatively, when kuron shiro is mean to lance: “you’re not my dad! ugly ass doo-doo head”
in the first fight after keith rejoins voltron, lance is fighting two galra soldiers at once when he suddenly screams “I’M A BAD BITCH YOU CAN’T KILL ME”. when keith looks over his bayard changes into the sword and lance cuts both soldiers in half
keith has never been more attracted to someone in his life
sometimes keith accidentally quotes a vine at the blade and the blade members will just stare at him blankly. he misses his team
you can’t tell me at least one of them hasn’t said “vrepit suh, dude” at some point
