#aromantic pidge

[add-ramblings-about-voltron]

Pidge should have been nb and aroace. I speak for the people.

[dawn-of-adira]

Couldn't find the fic I wanted to read, so I wrote it myself and then realized it hit so close to home I couldn't immediately share it. That being said I'm very proud of it, and I hope it finds the people who need a story like this but have never found it

Aromantic Keith who never told anyone that—at least, not before Lance said "I really like you."

Full summary under the cut

For the record, no one told Keith that Lance was in love with him until Lance said those short words and sent him into a tailspin of sorts. This is not his fault.

On the one hand, Keith would’ve been absolutely fine without their relationship changing dynamics. On the other hand, he wouldn’t have ever known it could unless Lance had confessed, and now that he knows, he wants something other than just friendship.

The third thing is that Keith needs to fix this.

If character not aromatic

Why character green?

[theroundbartable]

Okay, if you were asked who are in Merlin BBC & Voltron that you can see based on canon that are gay/bi/pan/demi, which characters are they? Why?

What a fun ask I'm totally not doing to procastinate on cooking... XD

BBC Merlin

Arthur Pendragon is, in my head, demiromantic and bisexual... It sort of depends on the circumstances/episode. Arthur needs a very long time to really feel connections with people and only starts to consider love after he really gets to know them, hence his constant search for true love in the show. With Merlin I'm not entirely sure if he was attracted to him instantly, strangely enough feeling a connection from the moment they met, or if it takes him till the end of the series when Merlin confesses his magic and finally shows his true self to realise the depth of his feelings.

Merlin is, well... Bi Bi Bi. A disaster bi in fact. With a preference for sweaty men in metal boxes, he's not very peculiar. However, Merlin is a one person hyperfixation kind of guy. Most people are convinced that Merlin's gay.

Gwen: I feel like most people in BBC Merlin are bi and Gwen is no exception. Like Merlin, she prefers the hero type in metal uniforms. But she also had a thing for Morgana in the beginning.

Morgana: lesbian. I have never seen a woman so disinterested in men, I'm not surprised that they casted Katie McGrath in supergirl as supergirls love interest. I might settle for homoromantic and asexual. But definitly in love with Gwen in the very beginning.

Sir Leon, my beloved, the immortal, the one and only, the eternal suffering aro/ace. I don't have to explain this one. The only counter moment is the Lamia episode where Leon suddenly develops interest in women out of nowhere. My personal take is that anyone could be fallen under a Lamia's spell, this one just had a taste for men (and male presenting).

Sir Elian: once upon a time I clocked them as nonbinary and sadly that's as far as I thought into this character. Pretty sure he's aromantic. He/they pronouns. I dunno, I don't think Elian would conform to anything if given a choice. Aromantic too, I think. Like Leon, there is no interest there, but he does play around with Percival and Gwaine quite often, so I'd take that as allosexual.

I am excluding Gwaine because I think canon Gwaine is written as a straight oblivious fuckboy. Albeit a kind one XD fanon Gwaine is often poly/ pan... Or into apples. Lmao XD and I'm not sure about Percival because the man has a dead wife and kids.

Voltron

Keith: with his lack of interest in women, he can only be gay. That man looks at no one quite the same as he looks at Lance. what the hell was the whole bonding thing if not a hint for post canon klance? Sorry, not sorry XD rivals to best friends to lovers.

Lance: *bi bo bi* bisexual lighting Lance. Doesn't matter if you prefer klance or shallura, this man is a walking bi flag. I don't know what you mean by proof, just look at this wiggly boy with the fingerguns. He can't even sit straight! Can't do math either. He's perfect!

Shiro: probably the only character in my entire history of shipping that I would unqueer without feeling bad about it. I know he's gay, I just don't really see it in the writing. Of course there aren't always clear signs that someone is gay which is why this is good rep actually (+he's married), but you asked me for proof in the show and all I see is that this man is a dad. That's his gender and his orientation and that's all I really need to know.

Pidge: aro/ace because I love my aroaces and this child loves robots and robots only. Also nonbinary/genderqueer. Pronouns: fuck/off XD

I think Lotor should have been bi. Pre-canon Lotor had us Langsters ship Lotor x Lance and it was so much fun :D

Bob: gender: evil, orientation: villain. I hate this guy

Coran: the georgous man is either gay or pan. More likely pan because I vaguely remember he had a son?

I hope I answered your question reasonably enough XD thank you for the ask, anon :3

[pidges-lost-robot]

To combat all of the klance fics that forget that the other team members exist, I need to gather a collection of fics I find where everyone's friendships are the immediate priority of the story or deep dives into their characters and personalities and relationships to each other with Klance just being background noise. But specifically not where another romantic ship is the immediate priority either, just like Hunk and Pidge having an argument that maybe starts off like it's about Klance and as we move further through it, it's actually about a much deeper part of their friendship and everyone else including klance are kinda just reacting to and being involved in a capacity that isn't like "but honestly, let's all be thankful for these soulmates and their soulmate...ness" and is actually them having a relationship but also having a meaningful connection with their friends

I do understand that I could just write this, but the inherent joy of finding somebody else who wants this and has written this is more what I want than just going "eh guess I'll do it myself"

Also don't get me wrong, romance is cool and all and I like reading stuff about that and seeing the interesting stories people can make for those relationships, I would just also like to find more friendship based stuff where when I look for it, it isn't background to the romantic relationship, and without removing the romantic relationship entirely as its still interesting - is this making sense I feel like I'm rambling nonsense now and I feel like I'm asking for a thing that is gonna turn out to have been a stupid question aghhhhh

And at this point I'm starting to think the theory I have about me maybe being aromantic is starting to unfold further shush!

[discordiansamba]

would you ever write aromantic characters? either ocs or characters that could be aro? aro ppl have so little representation or recognition in fandom spaces esp from ppl not aro themselves

listen I know you mean well and you're just looking for representation, but this ask is just a little not super well thought out considering that when I write romance, it's 9 times out of ten bi characters. you know. like myself. who is also part of an underrepresented group that is constantly erased in fandom spaces.

(and technically I already am. every version of Pidge I write is already acearo. you shouldn't assume that just because someone likes and enjoys talking about romance they just like. don't acknowledge the existence of the aro experience. it's just that realistically I am bi so it is my solemn task and duty to hit as many characters as possible with the bisexual beam.)

[aro-paladin-pidge]

My aro Pidge manifesto:

Pidge is the only one of the main paladins that never shows either implied or explicit sexual/romantic feelings. Shiro canonically had a fiancé (refuse to acknowledge that endcard), Keith is teased romantically with Acxa in the later seasons, and he has several scenes with Lance throughout the latter half of season 1 and in seasons 2-3, that can be very easily interpreted as romantic. Lance is canonically attracted to women. He enters a romantic relationship with Allura (though that was horribly done) and has several scenes with Keith that can be read romantically in the first three seasons. Allura canonically enters a romantic relationship with Lance, and shows clear romantic feelings for Lotor throughout seasons five and six. Hunk canonically has feelings for and enters a romantic relationship with Shay. Pidge never brings up romance, and seems disgusted the only time it is ever brought up in their presence. (Sam mentions meeting Pidge’s mom over a modulating argument in Season 6(?))

Pidge is the Paladin of the Green Lion, the Guardian Spirit of Nature. They have an entire episode devoted to their relationship with plants and the Green Lion. (The season 2 episode Greening the Cube) Plants reproduce asexually, and have no concept of ‘mating’ or ‘romance’, unlike most animals. Aro/ace spec people often use plant motifs to represent them, as in most animals there’s the idea of ‘base instincts’ or whatever that’s always about sex.

Pidge is also continually associated with the colors green, white, gray, and black, which are the colors of the aromantic flag. Green is, of course, the color of their Lion, white is featured prominently on both their lion, armor, and casual clothes. Grey is the color of all of Pidge’s self-made tech, (notably distinct from white Altean tech) and they wear gray shorts in their non-paladin outfit. Pidge has a black cloak that they occasionally wear (the ONLY paladin to have any additional non-uniform clothes until the last seasons) and their Lion has a black shield on its back. No other lions have anything similar outside of when they form Voltron.

Pidge is the resident computer genius of Voltron, who understands robots, coding, and technology. They create machines and algorithms throughout the show, and they never seem to consider robots as less than organic beings. These are character traits that, in sci-fi, are almost always associated with robot or ai characters. Said characters are some of the only consistent examples of aromantic/asexual representation available.

Pidge’s arc also exists entirely outside romance, and is allowed to have friendships with male characters without it every being colored as romantic or sexual in nature, something exceedingly rare for an afab character that is textually alloromantic/sexual. (One reason I dislike people who ship Pidge with other characters). When Pidge’s arc with finding their family is resolved, romance is still never presented as an option.

Pidge very much looks like “the typical ace/aro” in that they are teenage, AFAB, skinny and white. This is a stereotype, obviously, but Voltron was never above using those.

Finally, this is purely me, but Pidge is the most androgynous-presenting of all the main Voltron characters, and I’ve noticed that a lot of aro spec people often tend towards gnc or androgynous presentation.

On their own, most of these things could be waved off, but it’s very weird when you put them all together. For a show with as many romantic jokes, subplots, and relationships as Voltron, Pidge being entirely left out feels intentional.

[yelmor-boots]

you can scroll past if you don’t give a shit, that’s perfectly fine, you have free will (unless you recently found out your a Sim then I’m sorry, that sucks, stay out of pools i guess...)

Soooo, I’ve come to a bit of a realization.

I’ve been trying to figure out why I couldn’t write and I believe I got it.

I really do love Klance, it is 100% a comfort ship for me and I like indulging in the art and the fanfics out there and I also loved writing Over the Biomes. It’s one of my personal favorites other than Empire.

But I think writing romance is a bit too challenging for me because I might be a little bit  aromantic, maybe. I don’t know how to build up those scenes really or how to intermingle it with the plot. And from what I’ve learned, the plot is super important to me when I’m writing my own fanfics. It’s like my top three of writing and even reading. I like reading fics with multiple chapters and really getting into the Universe being created.

Rewatching Voltron so far, I also got really excited at the relationships built between Keith and Pidge or Keith and Shiro and so on and so forth. I just love growing the friendships and creating found family.

So, until I come up with an idea for another Klance-centric fic that works with me and makes me happy, I’m gonna do a little mix of gen and m/m. Explicitly Aro/Ace Keith and explicitly Gay Keith if you will. (Definitely not a self insert, it’s not because I’m gay + possibly aro/ace no not at all)

Anyway -

PIDGE. ME YOU. AROMANTICS WHO ARE FANS OF THIS SONG

🎧

never been in love - will jay <33 aro anthem!! also has been increasing in relatability as all my irls are getting boyfriends (and talking about their relationships incessantly :/)

spotify doesnt have lyrics for this one :(((

[howdoistopleavingcupsinmyroom]

Here’s the list of characters I headcanon as aromantic/arospec. Yes I am aware that many of these may be me projecting but there’s not much aro rep so let me have this. Also these are just headcanons I enjoy, no stress if you don’t agree!

1. Loki

For me this headcanon works for both the mcu character and the agent of Asgard character, but in different ways.

Agent of Asgard because the only sort of relationship we see him in is in the weird plot when everyone’s personality switched and he and Amora called each other “dear” one time. I could be missing something but that’s all I remember. The lack of relationships for Loki in that comic is really the only thing going into this headcanon tbh. Also meeting his (heavily aroace coded) best friend at speed dating neither of them really wanted to be at is so amazing to me.

The Marvel Loki also works with this headcanon (yes, despite him and Sylvie) because I’m sorry but never having “real” feelings for anyone for literally around 2000 years is the most aromantic thing I have ever fucking heard. Also the fact that the first person he ever fell in love with is another version of himself also does not seem very allo. So at the very least he’s on the aromatic spectrum.

2. Mabel Pines

I am aware more people will probably disagree with this one but I actually have reasoning.

My favorite part of gravity falls was actually in the end credits. At one point there’s this Polaroid of a tree Mabel has evidently been carving hearts into for each relationship she’s had over the summer. All of the hearts are crossed out except one that says “MxM” . Which first of all made me cry and second of all to me says that, whether or not you headcanon her as aro, she learned to value herself over a relationship, and that she really only needs to take care of herself to be happy wich is an amazing message.

But I always read her need to find a relationship as internalized arophobia, because she realized she’d never had a real crush and felt a need to prove to herself that she could feel romantic love by rushing into a “summer romance” like ones in stories she’d read or seen on tv. Again this may be projecting because it’s similar to my experience but I recognized this with her and yeah at the end of the day it’s just a headcanon that makes me happy:)

3. Shoto Todoroki

He just...gives me the vibes. Like fr his disinterest in anyone has been used as a joke numerous times. I just don’t see him needing or wanting romance as part of his life and that’s totally fine!

4. Pidge Gunderson

It’s not just cuz they fit the color palette guys I swear

Fr tho they’ve always given me aroace energy even before I really knew what that was. I like to think that they and hunk eventually form a qpp when they’re a bit older.

5. Aizawa

Again, the v i b e s also the absolute deadpan rejection of joke time and time again speaks to some aroace coding he definitely has in my opinion.

And there you have it! I know some of these explanations were way longer than others but I’m just inconsistent that way, sorry! Hope anyone who read this enjoyed it and lemme know if you share any of the same headcanons!!

[aro-paladin-pidge]

Sexuality & gender hcs for the Paladins

Allura: Demigirl (she/her pronouns), Homoromantic Homosexual Lesbian

Coran: gender? I don’t think he knows what that is. Agender and uses he/him and they/them pronouns. Panromantic Pansexual

Shiro: Cisgender man, though he probably tends to get funky with gender presentation. Does killer drag. Homoromantic Demisexual gay man.

Keith: Cis man, presents exclusively masculine, he/him pronouns. Homoromantic asexual gay man.

Lance: Trans man, he/him pronouns, very fluid with presentation. WILL stab a bitch if they misgender him. Biromantic Bisexual

Pidge: Nonbinary, they/them pronouns only. Aromantic and aroace, if someone is aphobic to them that person will find themself inexplicably locked out of every electronic device they own.

Hunk: Demiboy, he/him and they/them. Panromantic sex-favorable asexual.
