🍁There’s a quiet strength in just existing. It’s easy to overlook, especially when everything feels awful, but simply getting through each day is a huge accomplishment. You might not always see it, but just by being here, you’re adding something uniquely important to the world. It’s not about doing something extraordinary or being the best; it’s about continuing on, even when things are tough. Your presence matters, and it has a positive impact in ways you might not notice, but others do. Give yourself credit for the small victories, the moments when you keep going despite it all. Those moments show just how strong you are, even if it doesn’t feel that way. Hang on to that thought, because it’s a truth worth holding onto as you face whatever comes your way.🍁

Do you think if Keith had a tail it would wag when he saw lance

Or his pupils would get bigger when he saw him

Or he’d give him Radom shit he found while on planets

Like a cat

im so sorry anon i can’t take this question seriously im just laughing at the sentence “if keith had a tail”

i do think he’d give lance trinkets from planets 😭 that is cute

I FINALLY READ THIS AND LET ME SAY: OBSESSED W THIS VERSION OF KLANCE. i love when ppl capture their spontaneity

till death do us part

Summary:

“That’s a wedding ring, isn’t it?” Pidge realizes somewhere behind Keith once Lance is safely placed in the pod.

“Mm,” Keith responds without words. The ring is cold against his palm. It’ll be well over a day until Keith can hear Lance’s voice again. But he’ll be healed and whole, and if he needed to take weeks for the same outcome, Keith would gladly wait.

“When the hell did Lance get married—who the hell did he marry?”

“Pidge,” Hunk stops their ramblings and Keith has never been more grateful. “I think that one is obvious.”

(Or Keith and Lance have been secretly married for months and this is how the team finds out)

chat how would we feel if i posted zukka

[bluemantics]

so they posted a long post that was all about shiro and i was like why did you use kuron as the image? and we argued abt that a little. after that they were like sorry we fucking killed shiro most of the time so we don’t have pics of shiro. i was like well easy solution here, and i pitched them a show that was shiro-centric but delved into the paladins’ lives post-s8, saving the galaxy in all these ways and still coming to shiro for advice. i even said each episode could focus on a different paladin but the last one would focus on appreciating and loving shiro. then they said nice try but it’ll never happen. this of course incensed me again and i furiously told them i would make my own spinoff

keith kogane is the sun and lance mcclain is the ocean. the sun is fiery, passionate, a blazing trail through the sky. it’s a star that the greeks believed to be a chariot, flying overhead at incomprehensible speeds. he doesn’t even realize how he keeps people in his orbit, has no knowledge of his unexplainable magnetism. he attracts the people around him with nothing besides his brilliance.

lance is the ocean. on the surface, he is pretty and entertaining, but he contains unfathomable multitudes. he is flexible and ever-changing, a tide that rises where it is needed and carves away at harsh stones. he is full of life. lance is beautiful and dangerous all at once, guiding those he loves to safer waters and simultaneously drowning those that hurt his family.

how they meet: lance, the ocean, is doomed forever to reach for a sun that will never answer back. he reflects the sun’s light in an attempt to dazzle just as shinily. he fears he will never rise to meet the sun at its level, waves breaking before they can ever truly fly. keith, the sun, will melt into the ocean every nightfall. he will soften in an attempt not to burn it away, his bright yellow light shifting to warm orange. yet, every night, he will fail to become smaller. he will be unable to fight off the darkness he leaves behind.

the sun forever leaves, and the ocean forever chases it, a dance as old as time.

lance: why do i have a crush on allura? well, let me tell you: she’s passionate and fiery, she could kick my ass in a fight, and she wants to save the universe despite losing her family after tragedy. she’s so badass.

pidge: i never realized how similar allura was to keith… i mean, they both have impressive hair too.

lance: how dare you insult the princess!! she’s nothing like hi—

allura, running in: HELLO, PALADINS! keith has just gifted me with a new knife! isn’t it glorious? *holds up knife proudly*

lance: omg.

Your writing deserves love, kudos, recognition, and it is totally VALID to want those things, but a lack of it does not diminish nor determine your worth as a writer.

I know it's frustrating, but your stories are worth telling regardless. (+ sometimes a story pops off months after it was first published).

i feel like we as a fandom don’t talk enough about keith’s time in foster care. like that was during his formative years. what if he did like some of his foster parents? which ones taught him to close himself off, which ones tried to heal him, who was indifferent to this child who had suffered such a great tragedy? a child of tragedy among more children of tragedy, lost in the crowd. keith probably saw tens of different family dynamics in those 7-8 years, and those probably shaped him more than tex or krolia.

anyways be on the lookout for a keith-focused piece on his time in foster care, probably gonna be a very long one

Gorlax had seen a lot in his time, but he was still shocked at the sight of the former red paladin of Voltron attempting to fight a small rodent.

“C’mon, rat, you want to bite me? I’ll show you what happens,” the dark-haired human hissed at the small animal. Gorlax sighed. He’d thought that after the Galra Empire was defeated, diplomacy would be easier.

“…this is the almighty savior of the universe, former leader of Voltron, and esteemed leader of the Blade?” he tentatively asked the human standing next to him— the former blue paladin, Lance McClain.

“Yeah,” Lance responded with a saccharine smile, looking on fondly as Keith wildly shook his arm, the rodent now firmly biting into it and staying attached for dear life.

Gorlax rolled his seven eyes.

keith’s inner thoughts: gosh, lance is so perfect. yes, he can be immature, but he is so emotionally in tune and beautiful. his eyes are like sparkling sapphires, his hair like rolling waves.

lance’s inner thoughts: fuck he’s so good at fighting. that’s kinda hot— wait no. i have to kill him now, he must die. i will destroy him and his lovely hair.

hunk’s inner thoughts: do they realize the mind meld is still activated? ‘cause this is super friggin awkward. i want to go now.
