You guys wanna hear about like... my ideal Voltron ending?
Because of all the “leaks” I’ve been thinking about what my fucking perfect Voltron ending would be, where everyone is warm and happy, and I kinda got carried away and excited and I just wanna jot it all down. SO Here we go:
Political world stuff
Allura turns the Voltron Coalition into a United Nations in spaaaaace kind of deal and is voted their official chairperson and speaker. Largely because of her role in establishing peace, but now being nationless, with only a handful of alteans now being moved to live on Earth, she makes the most sense as she has no planet to represent.
Kolivan, Krolia and the BOM take over governing the Galra empire and are instrumental in forming an alliance with Allura and helping to establish her United Planets organisation. Their first task, with the help of Voltron, is returning the governing of planets who were under the Galra empire back to their own people.
Shiro becomes the official ambassador of Earth, but he is sure to take a big ass vacation for a while and lets Coran, Matt, and Sam take up that job for a little while.
Keith is invited to help with the stabilisation of the Galra empire, but decides to stay on Earth with his found family. He’s made the top pilot and in charge of the space exploration and aid program. He names Lance as his second, much to Lance’s shock and surprise.
Voltron still exists of course, and that will always be the paladins responsibility, but Pidge, along with her family, becomes head of the Alien Technology for Sentient Lifeform’s Advancement department. Her role is to seek out all the different forms of technology in the universe and attempt to integrate them together. “Oh wow, you guys have a device that creates water from Hydrogen and oxygen in the air? Well there’s a planet over here undergoing a drought, can I borrow that?”.
Hunk works with her for many years, until he decides to open several fine dining restaurants on the most populated space stations. His cuisine specialises in integrating different alien foods in new and exciting ways. He travels the universe searching and learning about the best ingredients. He has several best selling cook books. Out of all the Paladins, Hunk has the most $$$
Relationship Stuff
Hunk is the first to get married. He marries Shay just 2 years into peace and it’s treated like a royal wedding. Hunk, the yellow paladin and head engineer for ATSLA, marries the Balmeran Ambassador. It’s a fairytale wedding and Lance is the best man. He cries. A lot.
They don’t have any kids, saying that the Balmeran people are their children.
Hunk’s first restaurant is simply called “Shay’s” and specialises in home cooked comfort foods, with a fine dining twist.
Shiro is the next to get married, only 2 years later.
He marries a primary school teacher (I’m gonna call him Jesse for the sake of this narrative), who has been untouched by the war and exudes warmth, smiles, and nurturing. He probably has glasses.
They met when Jesse brought his year 4 class to the garrison on a field trip, and when the Public Relations guide called in sick, Shiro happily volunteered to take them around.
Jesse feels that Shiro looks very familiar, but he can’t quite place it. This really tickles Shiro and he starts to derail the tour, taking the kids to more backstage areas in an attempt to be the BEST GUIDE EVER and show off. “Hey Kids! Wanna ride on the simulator?” “Who wants to sit in the cockpit of an MFE with me?!” “Everyone wave to Matt and his robot friends.”
Jesse finally realises when the class watches the “educational film towards the end of the tour and a kid yells out “That’s you!” when Shiro appears on screen. Jesse is starstruck.
He thanks Shiro for an amazing tour that his class is going to be talking about for a long time. Shiro smiles and says “You know… there’s a lot of places here that were a bit too dangerous for the kids, but if you wanted to go… I’d be happy to take you on a private tour.” “Oh! Well I have to take the kids back to school-” “Tonight then?” “Tonight?” “Does 7 work?” “Uhhhh…. Ok”
Shiro takes him up to the garrison roof to look at the stars, then takes him to the BIG telescope and maybe flexes his advanced astronomy knowledge just a bit. He insists Jesse has a go on a simulator, and he’s awful, but they treat it like a video game and laugh and press close in the confined space. Shiro shows him the atlas and Jesse is speechless.
They don’t kiss, but Shiro gives him his number.
“Please call me… uh, if you want”….. “Oh shit! Sorry I’m in space for a week! Call me in a week! I’m not ignoring you, I’m just in space.”
Anyway they adopt like 4 kids.
Allura and Lance call it quits pretty quickly, realising that he really never wants to leave earth for long again, and Allura becoming married to her work in space. It’s an amicable break up, as they realise their relationship was likely out of constantly fearing death and needing support, rather than an actual sense of romance between them. They stay very good friends.
Allura enters a partnership with an ambassador from a distant alien planet, who grew up watching the Voltron show and admiring Allura from afar.
Keith tries to move back into his shack, but Lance refuses to let him live alone. He offers to have Keith move in with him and his family, but when Keith balks, Lance understands that all that noise and crowd might be too overwhelming.
Lance decides to move out and live with Keith, somewhere close to the McClain clan, so they can still enjoy the fun of birthdays and sunday dinners, but far enough away that they have their own privacy.
They live in a small cabin, surrounded by beach and forest. It’s quiet.
They live like this for years until one day Lance realises he can’t remember the last time he slept in his own bed. He can’t remember the last time he made breakfast and Keith didn’t come up behind him and wrap his arms around him. The realisation that maybe they’re already in a relationship hits him like a truck.
Wanting to test this, he kisses Keith good morning. Keith looks surprised, but smiles widely against his lips and wraps his arms around his neck. He hums out a “Nice aim, sharpshooter.” affectionately.
They fall into a relationship how Keith fell into flying. Easy and instinctive. Nothing really changes, except now they kiss and can do other things… which Lance would say has significantly improved his quality of life.
They get married only a year later. It’s kind of a secret affair, because Keith wants to keep it quiet, as he knows the media will overrun it. The head of voltron marrying his right hand man?
Krolia probably: Oh… I thought you were fucking the entire time.
They adopt two kids. One might be gala. I haven’t decided.
Pidge is a lesbian icon. She only settles down at the age of 50 with an Olkarion.
They all live long and happy lives. When Allura passes away, ceremonial gardens are opened on both Earth and the Galra home station.
Lance and Shiro train the next generation of paladins.
Coran has several museums opened in his honour.
Years after they pass away, Lance and Keith’s love story is turned into an award winning film. It’s like the Titanic of the future.
The most common Balmeran name for boys becomes ‘Hunk’. And it’s not uncommon for girls either.
And this is it. My sappy sappy head canons for how voltron can end and perfectly satisfy me. If the defeat Haggar in episode 1 I think they’ll have enough time.
Anyway Dreamworks, why haven’t you hired me yet?
