Keithtober 2018: Info and Prompt Lists

What is Keithtober?

Keithtober is a fanbase created event during the month of October to celebrate Keith from Voltron: Legendary Defender. Every day will have a prompt that creators can use to create art or fic for the event, including one for his birthday on October 23rd and one for Halloween.

For this event, the moderators have created two lists- one for artists and one for writers. Artists and Writers are not limited to their list and are more than welcome to switch wherever they’d like to. The event prompts are just outlines to help provide inspiration and can be interpreted however the creator wants to interpret them, as long as the main premise of the piece is Keith.

Rules for Event:

While the event is open to all creators, the moderators ask that certain guidelines be followed in order to make the event a safe space for everyone involved.

Please refrain from including the following:

- graphic violence

- sexual content

- derogatory language regarding race or sexuality

Although this event is primarily focused on Keith, there are prompts that will include his bonds with his teammates and family members. The moderators will be reblogging platonic content between the paladins as well as safe ship content. All creators, regardless of what they ship or do not ship, are invited to join the event provided that they respect these guidelines. The moderators will not reblog anything that doesn’t follow the rules stated above.

This event is intended to spread love and positivity throughout Keith’s birthday month and the moderators hope that it can bring creators together!

For further questions, you can contact us directly here or you can contact one of the moderators below:

My skill with pen and pencil are almost the same so I’d prefer pencil by now.

I have been really busy recently but still, I love Keith so much so lets see how far I can reach.

Keith Kogane Headcanons

It's the last day of Keith month my dudes. Here are some random Keith Thoughts I've been thinking that I didn't have the time/gumption to put into fics so idk. File under Keith Content: Miscellaneous:

Kosmo is one of those dogs that forgets he isn't a puppy. He'll dead ass just leap into Keith's arms or teleport into his lap when he wants cuddles and completely knocks the wind out of Keith but his human doesn't really mind. Frankly, it's adorable.

Keith's hair gets long enough that he starts tying it up into little ponytails out of necessity. Lance thinks this is really hot. Btw Keith always had nice forearms but with the elastic bands around his wrists they really 👌👌👌

It took Keith a long time to develop a healthy relationship with Krolia. There was a lot of pent up resentment and bitterness and anger from his childhood he had to work through but they did it and now they have more of a friendship than a mother/son relationship sometimes but Keith would be lying if he said he didn't love the motherly affection.

Lance's niece and nephew take quite a shine to Keith. He's still kind of awkward around kids but they think he's The Coolest.

His dad taught him how to play the guitar and Keith didn't get a lot of chances to practice while he was in the system. There were a few really chill music storeemployees sometimes who would let him practice and hang out. After the war when things settle down he picks it up again. He mostly plays classics like stuff by The Clash, The Eagles, Billy Joel, Bowie, Tom Petty, etc because that was his dad's favorite music. Incidentally, can be kind of a music snob sometimes.

PS, he can sing too but he doesn't know it.

He can curl his tongue, but can't roll his Rs for shit

He has nightmares. They used to be about his dad dying, but those faded with time. Then they were about Naxzela; he would always start awake right before the impact. Sometimes they're about the fight with Shiro and the burn on his face. And every once in a while he'll dream about Krolia leaving him again. He never tells her about those, but they bother him the most.

The Quiet Place made him cry.

Keith is a late bloomer as far as facial hair goes; he doesn't grow anything substantial until he's 28 (not that he's keeping track). Lance doesn't seem to have this issue, and this infuriates Keith because one, competitive nature, duh, and two, Lance really pulls off the 5 o'clock shadow thing and it's kind of hot but not that Keith's into it why would you think that

Despite what the fandom would have you think he knows what memes are thank you very much. He grew up in the foster system not under a rock.

Keith is on the autism spectrum. This made his life pretty challenging in general until he met Shiro who knew and understood and was willing to go the extra mile to connect with him anyway. The other paladins know too. You can't root around in someone's memories with magical psychic headbands without learning a few things. They never explicitly bring it up and Keith is grateful for that. They just love him unconditionally for who he is.

"So... what are you?" - every White™️ person to Keith ever. Someone save my ambiguously Asian son.

His favorite swears are son of a bitch, dammit, and the occasional vehement fuck

So yeah those are the Keith HCs that have brewing around for a bit.

might make a part two

Simply Keith: Stars

Day 8: Stars

A/N: I’m not super happy with this one, but I’m behind and exhausted ;w;

Prompts by @keithtober2k18

Summary: Under the stars in the middle of the desert, a proposal is made.

[Keith/Shiro]

Read on Ao3

Keith only thought fondly of the stars. Growing up, he spent late nights stargazing with his father, and from then on dreamed of one day being able to venture out into space. His dream was forgotten when he entered the foster system.

But then Shiro sparked his desire to explore the cosmos years later.

And then it all came crumbling down.

Until, like a falling star, Shiro came back and suddenly they were off to a faraway galaxy.

Needless to say, Keith had stopped dreaming a long time ago. After so many chanced had been given to him and then taken from him no matter how hard he worked, he decided it would be better to focus on the moment. Living impulsively was better than chasing something that would always be out of reach.

He tried not to dream of peace, but now the war against the Galra Empire was won and no new threats had surfaced. He hated being constantly on edge, waiting for something to ruin everything. There hadn’t been a reason for him to fly the Black Lion in a few months. He missed it, but he knew it needed to stay in the hanger for research. If he was desperate to fly Black again, he was sure Sam Holt would let him, but riding the Garrison’s speeders through the desert was enough for now. Keith never thought he’d find himself living at the Garrison after his expulsion, but all the paladins were given living space. Lance and Hunk preferred to stay with their families, Pidge’s family had all moved into the Garrison so she lived with them and used her room as a more private workspace, and Keith lived with Shiro.

Somewhere down the line, the two of them started dating.

There hadn’t been an exact moment when they made their relationship official. Ever since settling back into life on Earth, it had just sort of fallen into place. It just felt right. Like that’s just how things were supposed to be.

They moved between their Garrison housing and the old shack Keith took over in the desert pretty frequently. Neither one of them wanted to be confined within the Garrison campus for long periods of time, so they’d spend the weekends living in the shack. It was quiet and serene, unlike the fast pace living in a training facility. While the time of peace lasted, Keith and Shiro intended to take full advantage of the time they had to just spend existing.

Tonight, the sky was clear and the moon was full. Stars littered the sky and the desert was nearly silent. Keith and Shiro sat on the roof of the shack, leaning into each other and looking up.

“You know... “ Shiro’s voice was soft, “Watching the stars from space is nothing like watching them from Earth.”

“Which do you like more?”

“Wherever I’m stargazing with you.”

Keith punched his shoulder playfully, “You’re such a gross sap.”

They sat for what felt like hours longer, unsure of how much time had actually passed. The had no obligations tomorrow, so they were likely going to sit on the shoddy roof until they could barely keep their eyes open. Every so often they’d steal glances at one another, followed by stealing kisses. There was nothing Keith wanted more than moments like this.

“Keith?”

“Yeah, Shiro?”

“I love you.”

He smiled and let out a small laugh, “I know. I love you, too.”

Shiro hesitated before saying more, “What would you say if I asked you to marry me?” Keith’s face went as red as the first lion he piloted.

“I’d,” he looked down, “Obviously, I’d say yes.”

“Really?”

“Only if you had a ring,” he joked, trying to make light of the implication that Shiro may very well be planning on proposing. What he hadn’t expected was for Shiro to pull a small box out of his pocket right this very moment.  

“Will you marry me?” he flipped open the box to revel a plain silver band.

Keith stopped trying to hold back his tears and pulled Shiro into a hug. “I can’t imagine saying no.”

Shiro held him close, placing the ring carefully back into his pocket to make sure he wouldn’t lose it. He’d place it on Keith’s finger later. He kissed away the tears, then gently pressed their lips together. They were more focused on each other than they were on the stars, but there would be plenty more time to stargaze. They had the rest of their lives ahead of them.
