Here's (most) of everyone's favorite VLD ladies for International Women's Day 💕

"Egy életen át törlesztem a károkat.. "

Smart response, he mused to himself inwardly. A conveniently useless one. Somehow, that didn't surprise him. Though they'd never personally spoken, at least nothing more than a passing interaction in the midst of work, there was just something about Thace that immediately put Sendak on edge.

Maybe it was because he was just too competent for who he was stuck with. There was no possible way Prorok was the one that trained him. It was a concept Sendak simply refused to believe. No, that skill had to come from somewhere else.

“I see.” The scanners that ultimately wired up to his eye indeed made note of the elevated heart-rate. “I think someone without such a reputation would make better use of your talents. There's no worthwhile opportunity here.”

His smirk is open now. “Commander Gnov, maybe. She's quite capable of bringing the best out in her soldiers.”

He felt that awful gaze before he even heard the approach. It was hard not to; Even though Zarkon's right hand was often far afield, chasing down what had become little more than a fable to most at this point, his mere existence still weighed heavily on those at Central Command.

Thace longed for even a fraction of that usual distance the moment he laid eyes on Sendak, moreso with every passing moment since the awkward conversation began.

"The Commander..." he began, glancing away both to measure his words and gain what little relief he could from the red glare of Sendak's cybernetic. He was terrible at this interpersonal garbage. He much preferred to work behind the scenes, letting Prorok manage being the face of their unfortunate little duo.

"What can I say, except that he performs as well in his position as one might expect from his reputation." The most non-answer of an answer he could conjure while being neither flattering, nor critical. Maybe he could have padded it out, tried to diffuse the tension with a little banter like he'd seen Prorok do many hundreds of times, but his heartrate was likely already pinging Sendak's sensors as it was.

tell me stuff about galra gender xeno

Not much to tell tbh. They're dimorphic like humans are. Galra also don't really seem to acknowledge it much at all. Whether one is male or female, it simply does not matter to them. I suppose on a culture-by-culture basis this could vary, but otherwise the Empire at large doesn't treat one sex any differently from the other. I'd imagine for most galra it would be bizarre to segregate like that.

For your consideration of sending this prompt tho:

Gnov would eat Xaallo for fucking breakfast.

[cosmic-gemstone]

Qessyn definitely leans more towards men but she does occasionally look at people like Gnov, Trugg, and Ladnok like…

“M-Ma’am…😳”

[xaallo]

Gnov would eat Xaallo for fucking breakfast.

Shiron building up such a rapport with his crew, that they end up sticking with him through thick and thin. When he chooses to stay with the Galra Empire when Lotor takes over, they stay. If their Commander wishes to work with the paladins now, they trust that decision.

His crew is likely composed of a lot of misfits- Galra who for one reason or another, don't quite fit in to the Empire at large. Perhaps some of them are mixed, perhaps some of them come from bloodlines where one of their ancestors committed treason. Maybe some of them have been demoted for not always following orders. But he brings this crew of misfits together, and makes them work as a unit. They trust this man with their lives.

They are aware their Commander was once something called a 'human'- not born a Galra. Many are wary of him at first. They are equally wary of his druid brother, with his mixed blood and ties to Zarkon's witch. But he proves himself to them, as does Karrion. They are loyal to their Commander before they are loyal to the Empire.

When both brothers disappear alongside Voltron and Emperor Lotor, they decide to stay the course. The Galra Empire is descending into chaos, turning into an every man for themself situation. They remain allied with the Voltron Coalition, because it was what their Commander would want.

(And perhaps as Shiro unlearns being Shiron, his crew slowly learns what it really means to do the right thing.)

The thing is that Shiro and Keith still deeply care about each other, even after everything that's been done to them. In a lot of ways, they've become different people- but their bond, their relationship with the other is still the same as it was before they became Shiron and Karrion. They're still brothers. They still have the same banter, treat each other the same way.

They're still willing to do anything for the other.

Their quarters on Shiron's ship are connected by a shared training room. They spar a lot- Karrion doesn't want to get complacent and end up becoming the type of druid who uses their magic for everything. Shiron knows that he has to stay at the top of his game if he wants to be taken seriously, since it's not exactly uncommon knowledge that he's an artificial Galra. It's their way of bonding with one another, a time when they can both be themselves.

Shiron takes his role as a Commander very seriously. His quarters are filled with archival records, on everything from war tactics to Galra history. He memorizes the name and face of every Galra under his command- he's ruthless to his enemies, but those in his service regard him as both an excellent leader and a fair boss. He's level-headed and calm under pressure, but is a fearsome warrior. He often has to be goaded into taking breaks, because otherwise he won't.

Karrion might as well be Shiron's shadow. It's rare to see one without the other, unless Karrion has been called away by Haggar. His talent as a druid is a rare one, and as much as he doesn't want to become totally magic dependent, he spends a lot of time on his studies. His quarters are cluttered with a collection of magical artifacts from across the universe, and boards with half finished magical theories. It reminds Shiron of his shack back on Earth, the one Karrion no longer remembers.

Karrion will often drag Shiron off the bridge to take a break, to eat something. Shiron will often do the same, because his brother is just as bad. They patch up each others injuries. They fight side by side. Karrion still laughs at his brother's bad jokes. Shiron will lecture his brother when he lets his recklessness get the best of him. Sometimes they'll just hang out, just the two of them.

They also reinforce the other's brainwashing. Haggar no longer needs to condition them, because now they are conditioning each other. They are both loyal to the Galra Empire. They both chose this. They never call the other by their original names- even Shiron, who remembers.

Shiro and Keith are dead. They killed them themselves.

(eventually, they will understand that's not true.)

How about all galra reactions to you being hurt in front of them 🤔🙏

For headcanons I only do up to four characters so that posts don't go over their word limit, so I hope you don't mind my four choices

_________________________________________

~ Lahn ~

~ Lahn's first reaction to someone hurting you in front of him would be pure rage; you're his significant other and he will hurt whoever's hurting you

~ He might be a traditionalist, but he doesn't believe in physical abuse of any kind

~ After he's 'taken care of' the person who hurt you he'll make sure you're okay

~ If you have bruises or if you're bleeding he'll take you to the infirmary and patch you up

~ However, if the person hurt you emotionally Lahn will remind you that whatever they said wasn't true

~ He's not one for talking about feelings, but he'll listen if you need to talk about it

~ Lahn wants you to know that if you need to talk about it he's there for you; he doesn't want you bottling your emotions up

~ Either way, he'll give you lots of cuddles and make sure you're in as little pain as possible during your recovery

_____

~ Prorok ~

~ Oh boy, if someone hurt you in front of Prorok they will regret it

~ He'd be absolutely furious that someone was physically or emotionally hurting you, whether in front of him or not

~ After whoever was hurting you is disposed of Prorok would feel bad for you; he doesn't like it when you're in pain, specifically if someone else hurt you

~ In a way he'd feel like he screwed up as a lover after someone hurt you in front of him the way they did

~ Depending on how badly you're hurt he'll help you get the best treatment available, even if you need to visit the on-site counselor every once in a while

~ However, Prorok's always willing to listen to you if you need to talk to him about the incident (even though talking about feelings ect. makes him feel super awkward)

_____

~ Varkon ~

~ Varkon might not be as physically fit as a galran soldier but he's still got fighting skills

~ If someone were to hurt you in front of him he'd feel incredibly angry and arrest whoever was hurting you

~ He might not be high ranking in the galra empire, but he still has the power to have whoever decided to hurt you sent to galra central command to be tortured to death

~ After the person in question is gone forever Varkon would feel guilty for not being there for you on time, especially if he has to travel from one end of the mall to the other or if someone else had him restrained

~ Varkon will nurse you back to health whether it's in a physical way or an emotional way

~ He promises to never let anyone hurt you again and he keeps his promise

_____

~ Gnov ~

~ If someone were to hurt you in front of Gnov (or at all) they would be D E A D

~ The person hurting you wouldn't stand a chance, they would be laying dead on the ground within a matter of seconds

~ Galran commanders might be considered cruel but never towards their lovers/family

~ Whether the person was hurting you physically or emotionally she wouldn't hesitate to immediately kill them

~ Gnov wouldn't know how to feel at first (aside from angry) until after whoever was hurting you is dead, then she would be angry at herself for letting it happen in the first place

~ Depending on how hurt you are Gnov will either cuddle with you or put you in a healing pod

~ She's definitely always willing to listen to you if you need to talk about it bc she's not just a killing machine, she genuinely cares about your wellbeing

Concept Sketch - Every female Galra living in the Empire or shown on Daibazaal from S1-8

I wanted to honor these unsung characters. They have two tells: the voice and/or a small marking under the eye. The latter is often hard to see unless one is hyperfixated enough to watch scenes frame by frame. 🤣 I just like the designs that much. 💜💙❤️ I probably even missed a few that will be added later, but here we go for now. Yep, forgot to add one of Young Zarkon’s soldiers from the AU.
