why isnt there any pegging fic for him

i dont make the rules

[allurcat]

keith genuinely has bad eye sight but he refused to go to the ophthalmologist back in earth and he makes its seem that it isn’t that bad (spoiler: it’s bad).

the team (except shiro he already knew) found out he had bad eye sight when they were in a mission and they were reading off a sign that was in the distance and keith was SQUINTING them eyes hard bcs he couldn’t read shit.

hunk and pidge then move away n that’s when keith turns to lance and asks him wth does the sign says.

lance was baffled bcs the sign had quite big letters and he still couldn’t read it.

L - “dude how the hell can’t you read what it says it’s so clear”

K - “it’s literally blurry-”

L - “ITS NOT?”

that day the team realized he has myopia

[hernandezl28]

Lance: Keith, are you having a depressive episode? Keith: depressive episode??? Keith: I’m having a depressive series and we’re on season five right now.

VF Lance HCs

It's been a little bit since my last HC list, but I want to write down what I've got on my second favorite blorbo, also because I can't remember if I did one for him already

This got long, so for dash purposes the hcs are under the cut <3

He's an orphan > basically taking from i believe both the comics and V3D, Lance lived on a colony planet. One day a space pirate raid happened and killed everyone in the small village he lived in except for Lance, he did try to get home when he saw it happen but fire errupted and blocked him from getting back. It kinda turned out to be a good thing because any pirates on the ground completely missed him, almost like the fire had protected him

He was in the adoption system until joining the military > Since he was technically an Earth citizen, he was taken back to Earth to be put in the system, he bounced around homes a lot because of the trouble he'd cause or straight up because people thought he was too broken to be a good kid to care for. Eventually, at 16, the GA offered him a place and a way to get revenge for the raid, so he didn't even hesitate on taking up the offer

He's anti-military > Lance isn't stupid, he was in the system for a long time and because he bounced so often he learned to read people well. He knew the GA was taking advantage of him and his grief but he didn't care as long as he got what he wanted. Unrelated to him though he publicly hates the military because of how unnecessary it is most of the time and because the GG itself is a shit organization

He's part alien > Coming from a colony planet, it's no surprise more than just humans were there to settle. Lance doesn't know what species he's a part of but he knows it was far back enough that the family members he knew about didn't look like anything but human. Though he does have his suspisions even though he never says it out loud because his ear shape looks oh so familiar to one of the alien races he is in contact with a lot

He has a sixth sense > Now Lance doesn't really have tangible evidence of it but it's a hell of a coincidence for his gut to tell him something is wrong and be right about it every single time. Even the force (as cadets) didn't believe it at first until it kept happening, he has debated on opening a psychic stall to get easy cash.

He dyed his hair ginger > In my redesign of him I did give him ginger hair but I've decided to change that. Feeling like he had no control in his life during the 5 years working with Wade, he impulsively dyed his hair ginger. Hunk and Pidge laughed at him but it was pay back for laughing at Pidge's new haircut that made him look even shorter than before

He's a wine mom to the cadets > It's no secret he's tired of the cadets pulling stupid stunts, especially the kind of stunts HE did when he was only a few years older than them. Those kids drive him to alcoholism but goddamn does he worry about and love them a lot. He didn't want to bring the cadets into the fight so early but the only consolation he gets is that there's seasoned superiors to help them out compared to his own team being alone and forced to figure it out themselves

He's an alcoholic and nicotine dependent > Lance would rather not talk about when he started smoking, but he got started drink the same way every other teen who grew up to become an alcoholic did, underage drinking at parties. Eventually, he got so tired of the shit the academy would do to him that he drank and smoke as a release, which started him on his addition for both. Now being back on Arus, he still does both but he's been trying to quit smoking at least, mainly because of Pidge and Allura and now including the cadets. He and Keith still drink a lot together though so that isn't going away soon

He flirts for fun > Lance had originally flirted to hopefully start a relationship with someone or just to get lucky tbh, but eventually he got tired of it. Now he just flirts because he likes the reactions but he never intends to make anything seriously go down. The only people he ever actively flirts with are his team (sans cadets obvs) because they know he doesn't mean it and they even flirt back for the hell of it sometimes

He plays piano > this man SUCKS at every other instrument other than piano, he doesn't know what it is that makes him terrible at it but after he learned piano he's made sure not to get too rusty every once in a while. Sometimes he and Pidge do duets on the grand piano that the castle has in one of its rooms, it's one of their ways of bonding since Pidge is the only other person who knows how to play

Lance has a passion for teaching > He absolutely loves to teach, while working in the garrison as a flight instructor it was one of the few things he actualy enjoyed, the paperwork much less. He discovered this when first training Allura to be a pilot and member of the lion force, his nack for noticing the small things helped guide her to being the force of unruly ocean she is today. This is also the reason he's the cadets main mentor, he knows what to get done and even if the paperwork is boring the cirriculum is fitted to work with him as well

He has a slight pyrokinetic power > This only manifested after the pilots had died in their lions during their comet episode in dotu. The lions themselves had revived each of their pilots and with that, they all became forever tied to each other. A side affect of this is access to some mystical abilities, for Lance he accidentally sets things on fire, legitimately he doesn't know how to control it. Plus if he gets worked up about something, the immediate area around him has its temperature spike. He also has more access to the lions magical abilities but that's kinda unrelated as everyone else has that too.

I have a ton more that I both can and can't remember but I'll stop it at this, i'll probably make another and link this one to it

[aro-paladin-pidge]

My aro Pidge manifesto:

Pidge is the only one of the main paladins that never shows either implied or explicit sexual/romantic feelings. Shiro canonically had a fiancé (refuse to acknowledge that endcard), Keith is teased romantically with Acxa in the later seasons, and he has several scenes with Lance throughout the latter half of season 1 and in seasons 2-3, that can be very easily interpreted as romantic. Lance is canonically attracted to women. He enters a romantic relationship with Allura (though that was horribly done) and has several scenes with Keith that can be read romantically in the first three seasons. Allura canonically enters a romantic relationship with Lance, and shows clear romantic feelings for Lotor throughout seasons five and six. Hunk canonically has feelings for and enters a romantic relationship with Shay. Pidge never brings up romance, and seems disgusted the only time it is ever brought up in their presence. (Sam mentions meeting Pidge’s mom over a modulating argument in Season 6(?))

Pidge is the Paladin of the Green Lion, the Guardian Spirit of Nature. They have an entire episode devoted to their relationship with plants and the Green Lion. (The season 2 episode Greening the Cube) Plants reproduce asexually, and have no concept of ‘mating’ or ‘romance’, unlike most animals. Aro/ace spec people often use plant motifs to represent them, as in most animals there’s the idea of ‘base instincts’ or whatever that’s always about sex.

Pidge is also continually associated with the colors green, white, gray, and black, which are the colors of the aromantic flag. Green is, of course, the color of their Lion, white is featured prominently on both their lion, armor, and casual clothes. Grey is the color of all of Pidge’s self-made tech, (notably distinct from white Altean tech) and they wear gray shorts in their non-paladin outfit. Pidge has a black cloak that they occasionally wear (the ONLY paladin to have any additional non-uniform clothes until the last seasons) and their Lion has a black shield on its back. No other lions have anything similar outside of when they form Voltron.

Pidge is the resident computer genius of Voltron, who understands robots, coding, and technology. They create machines and algorithms throughout the show, and they never seem to consider robots as less than organic beings. These are character traits that, in sci-fi, are almost always associated with robot or ai characters. Said characters are some of the only consistent examples of aromantic/asexual representation available.

Pidge’s arc also exists entirely outside romance, and is allowed to have friendships with male characters without it every being colored as romantic or sexual in nature, something exceedingly rare for a female or assumed-female character that is textually alloromantic/sexual. (One reason I dislike people who ship Pidge with other characters). When Pidge’s arc with finding their family is resolved, romance is still never presented as an option.

Pidge very much looks like “the typical ace/aro” in that they are teenage, were assigned female at birth, skinny, and White. This is a stereotype, obviously, but Voltron was never above using those.

Finally, this is purely me, but Pidge is the most androgynous-presenting of all the main Voltron characters, and I’ve noticed that a lot of aro spec people often tend towards gnc or androgynous presentation.

On their own, most of these things could be waved off, but it’s very weird when you put them all together. For a show with as many romantic jokes, subplots, and relationships as Voltron, Pidge being entirely left out feels intentional.

In a broganes adoption au I hc when Keith was younger he had an obsession with cacti, he rode his dinky little bike to the garden centre every other week to pick up more for his room, he had collections of cacti infographic cards - mostly about their danger level. Nobody understood why he loved cacti, everyone just all assumed it was a 'southern thing'. When Shiro finally had enough of Keith's weird ass cacti antics he finally asked him whats the deal with them anyways???

Tiny Keith responded 'Its the only legal way for me to fortify my fortress?? Duh why else' (fortress meaning his room)

Oh god what had Shiro done adopting this 9 year old child. He loves him anyway, so, so much.

From then on Shiro drove Keith down to the garden centre instead because Keith kept getting prickles in his hands like once a week JUST from the bike trips alone.

Oh yeah keith also tried to set some of this cacti on fire once to make them more "threatening", Shiro was - as you can probably guess - not very happy he had to have that conversation.

[lloims]

hey there! because i literally hate myself, what's better than to start writing music headcanons from all the klance angst aus im thinking of in my head?

these are all *really* random hcs please stay with me on this

•••

lance seems like the kind of guy who would have spotify premium, so he has a shit ton of songs downloaded onto his phone before the blue lion leaves earth.

some examples of songs in his playlist will be nuestra canción, butter, boombayah, all that good stuff.

so the team will sometimes grab his phone and start playing their own favourite songs. it's more to remind them of earth than to actually listen to the songs because they like them.

and then - pidge finds space tiktok. what's a good name for it... spacetok. yeah not the tag it's a whole app by itself.

and surprise surprise, earth's songs are there too! so lance immediately starts making a new account and starts doing dances, documentaries on how his bayard works, interviews with the other paladins, and his account has nearly 6 billion followers (quite small, considering spacetok is used by almost everyone across multiple galaxies). not that lance is complaining, he always flexes in front of pidge who's account is more towards technology and science.

hunk's spacetok account will be about food, ofc. he's only a few thousand less followers than lance, and everyone likes to comment new recipes for him to try.

keith wouldn't be a content creator, but he has his own account, definitely not to stalk lance's own spacetok and to simp over him (not that he'll ever admit it, but lance eventually does find out).

shiro is space dad. he does not have a spacetok account, but he occasionally participates in lance's ones if he wants to.

coran does in fact, have an account dedicated to exercises and stuff to do to keep yourself healthy in space. allura has a makeup account but prefers a smaller audience in case any kind of information is exposed to the galra empire.

and since lance was most likely the 'theatre kid', he would probably do the 'theatre kids be like' vids as well. he also teaches everyone in the castle how to do the macarena and convinces them to do it for a spacetok. it resulted in many messes, but it's all in good fun.

•••

lance would have a FANTASTIC voice. although he occasionally cracks his voice, they seem to make his singing look even better. he can most definitely hit the notes in electric love.

(it would be in his playlist too!)

keith listens to as the world caves in. wuki remix, to be precise. he can't hit the notes, but his chest voice isn't so bad, rather soothing to listen to. considering this song was sang by a female though, he has to sing it a a few keys lower.

hunk can sing bass. i like to think he goes really well in acapella groups like pentatonix.

pidge wouldnt be singing, she'd be doing all the technical stuff. favourite genre would probably be either lofi, edm or poprock. something she can study to. but besides studying, probably something to jam to with her hair flinging around and scream her lungs out to.

shiro listens to classical music. no explaination, just take it.

coran would listen to meme music from the 90s and the 00s unironically. not that he would ever know that they were memes of course.

i think allura would be a swiftie and have around the same voice range as queen swift herself! *very* supportive of taylor's version.

aight that's the end of my brainrot thanks for listening :D
