A gift for my amazing discord moderator Sabina, who has been helping me moderate my online communities for almost 7 years now and has a soft spot for magpies. I do too 🖤

May I introduce you to Mæric (pronounced mAR-ick)! He belongs to an air elemental original species I'm working on and was turned into a vampire (of sorts) by a fucked up plant species I am also working on :D

He exists in the same universe as Jae (who I don't think I've shared here yet) and Phiya. None of them have much of a story yet, I just like making characters :3

Pls share with us your other black paladin allura reasons and hcs 👉🏻👈🏻

ohhhhhh you’ve given me an excuse to go off. thank you for that 🫶

okay first the reasons. i think many of the writing decisions in legendary defender were influenced by the desire to stay true to older iterations, which had black paladin keith/akira, red paladin lance/isamu, and blue paladin allura/fala. they made new personalities for the VLD team but kept them in the same old roles, to the detriment of all three affected by the lion swap

this post and this post talk a bit about how allura should’ve been black paladin while keith and lance remain in red and blue, respectively. but the short of it is this: the position of black paladin is one of leadership and responsibility. who on the team is literally royalty, which means they were raised to lead responsibly? allura. she’s also basically been co-leading alongside shiro since day one. she is way more equipped for the job than keith

and yeah no offense to keith or black paladin keith enjoyers but he is NOT equipped for the job of leader to me lmao. he also just. doesn’t want to be leader? at least at first in season 3 he didn’t want it. i don’t remember the later seasons but then again i don’t care about canon and i do what i want with these characters like they’re barbie dolls. and keith just doesn’t feel like the leader type. he’s a perfect right hand to me

as for headcanons. i think she takes the job so so seriously. like too seriously. she has a lot of experience piloting the castleship but it’s very different piloting the black lion. she spends so long building that skill and combat training with the black bayard. she has to catch up to the paladins who have been training this whole time! but to keep her from pushing herself too hard the team also encourages her to work on the team bonding that’s so necessary for voltron. (it has the bonus effect of helping everyone deal with the fact that shiro’s missing) she has so much fun growing even closer to the team as a fellow paladin. she’s still leader but they’re closer to equals and off the battlefield they treat her as a friend rather than The Princess and she’s quietly overjoyed and relieved by this

also during her first battle in the black lion she does a great job!! maybe not as good as shiro and there’s places where she can improve but she does great :^) and then afterwards she gushes to the team about how cool and fun it was to be involved in the action up close!!!! meanwhile coran’s gonna start growing grey hairs because his tiny baby princess is being so reckless!! (that’s his daughter idc what anyone says)

and when shiro does come back he and allura agree to co-pilot the black lion. leading is hard! it’s nice to share the burden with someone who gets it and is there for you. also there’s this post i made where they got silly with it :^)

TLDR: allura should be black paladin because it’s the very least she deserves

Posting this on my bestie @lunar-speaks's birthday bc we're both a little bit insane about shallura and also meljayvik/danashallura parallels. Happy birthday bro! Hope you appreciate the shallura content :3

ladies of voltron <3

i’m kissing each of their foreheads like my favorite stuffed animal

[starkindart]

I remember that when I was little and watching Voltron, Shiro was the least likely to catch my attention from the whole team, maybe because he seemed like a typical adult to me? But now I can't take my eyes off him, he's so cute, just like a kitten.

Woahh, look at all those Stars

The art style is sliiightly inconsistent in places bc some of it was drawn months ago and some of it is new, but I feel like it still works. Anyways, I have revamped Star, my VLDsona! AKA Noah Asterson (but no-one really calls him that)

☆ Close-ups and Lore™ under the cut! ☆

I've decided his design from 2019 (below) is how Star looked as a cadet, before he sorta settled into his identity as a transmasc guy and let loose more with his style. I also redesigned his armour so it wasn't just a recolour of the paladin armour.

I like the idea of the Galaxy Garrison having a sort of buddy system between first-years and older cadets, and Star being Hunk's buddy/mentor. When he graduated, Star became a scientist working under Colleen Holt in the botanical research division. After Voltron, he goes on to help develop Earth's first extraterrestrial taxonomic system (cuz I think classifying all the new lifeforms Earth suddenly knows about would be complicated as hell but very cool)

Repeatedly and quickly drawing a bowstring requires strength that Star Does Not Have so his bow has some kind of mechanism that assists him with that! Also I like to think his arrows explode. That just seems fun.

He can sometimes be found in the kitchens far too late in the evenings, in his pyjamas, making himself some tea.
