I need him in my bed, right now. He can put those claws to real good use in— [gunshot sounds]

Otherwise known as, ‘If I can close my eyes and hear it, I’m gonna draw it damnit.’ All of these lines can be heard from ‘The Princess and the Frog’ so, eat your heart out simps.

The little sinner getting his face squished is by a mutual of mine! @spencerftm go show their page some love! 🫶🏻

Have this pet mothman

Is it hard plastic? I could use it as a weapon if it is.

... You know what would absolutely suck about Luke and Jin both?

If you wanted to knit them a sweater by hand, it'd take a damn eternity. Why so big! Why so big! Why did they have to grow so big and wide! (They each can get a... scarf?)

[holysheithyall]

… i have nothing to say. 100% crack au that i will never draw ever again. also tried to replicate the shows style for some reason

Krolia wakes to a child staring at her.

They are very small, with pale peachy skin and big, gray eyes. Their nails are round and blunt, and his teeth are the same. The only hair they seem to have on their body is what's on their head, a mess of black hair. She's quite certain that if he let go of the bed, he would fall on the floor.

In fact, that is exactly what he does.

Krolia instinctively reaches out to catch them before they can. The alien child stares at her for a long moment, before he makes an excited vocalization, clapping his hands. Moments later, a man enters who must be his father, who looks equally relieved to have found his son who most definitely wandered off, and surprised to see her awake.

They manage to communicate a little- the man's name is Heath Kogane, and the child is his son, Keith. He is a human. They are on a planet called Earth. He communicates with gestures that he pulled her from her ship, and points to the bandages wrapped around her chest. He must have given her first aid as well.

She stays with them as she recovers. She learns that it is just the two of them living here- Heath's wife and Keith's mother died in an accident shortly after he was born. He works as a firefighter. Keith recently had his first birthday. He is still learning how to walk. He is noisy and rambunctious.

Krolia grows attached to them both. Her ship is destroyed. She cannot return to the Blade, even though she succeeds in her mission to find a lion. She and Heath fall in love, and before she knows it, Keith has started to call her his mom. They celebrate his second and third birthdays together as a family.

Then the Empire sends another scouting mission, and Heath is shot. He holds her hand as he dies, as she uselessly tries to stem the flow of blood. He makes her promise to look after Keith, but even if he didn't, she'd do it anyways. But at the same time, she knows she can no longer stay on Earth- not if she wants to keep this place safe.

She takes Keith with her when she returns to the Blade of Marmora. She will hear no argument from Kolivan. He is staying.

I found more

[bluebugjay]

I don't think we ever talked enough about how Keith grew up with no mum, his dad died when he was young and his non-bloodrelated brother went to space and was MIA and yet the garrison still just kicked him out??

they looked at him and were like yeah no this kid with no family, no friends, he'll do perfectly well on his own. just sent him packing in the desert equipped with nothing but a mullet, an excessive amount of rage and the ability to create explosives apparently??

[nullians]

It’s actually insane how fandom in general has become so scared of making weird and dark and ugly works. Like I look at myself and see how I have also subconsciously adapted this instinct to self censor and make things “marketable” and it’s making me want to crawl out of my skin. I need to get weirder and worse and more off-putting hello

“lance why the fuck are you buying tuna, nobody eats that”

“okay FIRST OF ALL-“

they were sent by allura to get some food for everyone and ended up arguing like a married couple in-front of the cashier and everyone else in line for 10 minutes straight (nobody complained, it was thoroughly entertaining and entertainment is something you need when ordering subway) needless to say they’re no longer allowed to buy food for anyone anymore AT LEAST without someone there to keep the peace and prevent them from embarrassing themselves like toddlers

keith teases lance about buying tuna when he ends up eating a meatball sub so who’s the loser now (jk i love him dearly), i refuse to believe he doesn’t have some wicked scar on his face like on his eye or smth because number 1, literally everyone in the universe wants to bloody kill him but also because its cool and he deserves to have some sort of scar okay- also keith with earrings just hits differently

why is lance wearing a purple earring? honestly i dont even know myself but it looks good- the bandage was intentional though, mf got it 10 minutes before they were sent to get food after trying to impress the cadets with his awful skateboarding skills (he made a fool out of himself but at least he made everyone laugh, win win ordeal iykwim)

the shading is god awful on this but i still love it because of the stupid subway background that i found on google not even 2 minutes of searching, ty toast for helping me w the background i wouldve stared at pinterest for 30 minutes questioning my existence without your guidance

[silentwillowwhisperer]

idk (after a rainy morning)

It's gonna be a great day, even the sky is gay! And I just rhymed!

Wow.... I don't know when I wrote that, but that sentence was in my drafts so now I have to give it context.

-------------------------------------------------------

Keith has only one thing to say.

Insomnia needs to fall off a tall, tall cliff, and stay there.

He had been staring up at the dark ceiling of his room until 2 am before giving up on sleep for the night.

So now he stands in the shadowy kitchen of the castle with a mug of caffeinated hot chocolate (Hunk is a miracle) at 2:37 am.

Yeah, that’s not a particularly healthy way of dealing with his lack of sleep. But you know what? At the moment, Keith is much too tired to care.

He smiles at the thought of an unsuspecting paladin stumbling into the kitchen for a late-night snack and seeing him in all of his vampiric-serial-killer-looking glory.

-

It's no longer 2-something am.

The artificial lights of the castle are now on at full brightness and Keith's eyeballs are being stabbed by the harsh rays.

His hair can't look amazing either, but he's been able to do nothing but stare at the blank white wall in front of him while gripping his empty coffee mug so tight his knuckles are now white so that he won't drop it.

In his 6 hours spent in the kitchen, he's made the discovery that the walls occasionally change to mimic common weather patterns like rain, fog, snow, and a bunch of other alien forms of precipitation.

Because Altean tech is so futuristic, it almost looks like the walls are melting away. It relieves Keith of a sort of claustrophobia that he didn't know he was feeling.

Or maybe he's just hallucinating. How long has it been since he's last slept? He can't do math when he's tired, but Keith thinks that it's been about 3 days.

If he is hallucinating, then he's a little bit upset that his weak body can't last longer than this.

It's around 11 am when the other paladins start to enter the kitchen.

Hunk shoots Keith a concerned look, but busies himself cooking breakfast.

Keith's eye twitches and suddenly the walls are replaced by rain. He can almost feel raindrops on his head and the soft, earthy smell of falling water. He vaguely recalls Shiro calling it petrichor.

Before he even realizes it, the team is seated at the dining table around him and are immersed in light chatter.

He can't take his attention off the walls, though, and with a smile he realizes that the rain has cleared and is now replaced with a brilliant rainbow.

"Keith. Keith"

Keith snaps out of his haze to see Shiro watching him with mild concern in his eyes.

"Not that I'm not glad to see you smiling, but you're freaking me out. I said your name 8 times before you noticed. Do you want to go get some rest or something?" (woah I can't spell 8 in letters)

Keith stands up and slams his hands on the table. He has an almost maniac grin slathered across his face.

"No! I'm smiling because it's gonna be a great day, even the sky is gay! And I just rhymed! There is absolutely no tiredness here!"

Everyone looks around in confusion, and Hunk speaks up tentatively.

"Uhhh, Keith? You can't see the sky in here, and there is absolutely nothing in here that looks gay. Well, except for you and Shiro, but technicalities."

Hmmm, maybe Keith is hallucinating. A second after his realization, exhaustion finally catches up to him and he promptly passes out.

And he goes down grinning.

---------------------------------------------------------

I don't even know what this is.

Someone play Conan Gray, I need his queerness right about now. It's the only thing that can revive my tired, dead soul.

[klanced]

Keith: I felt an energy drawing me out here to the middle of the desert, telling me to search...

Shiro:

[discordiansamba]

actually the funniest part about atla AU Keith is that he actually 100% knows what his deal is, and is very much trying to keep it to himself. He's just also incredibly bad at it.

Hunk: So you said you wanted to find your mom, right? What's she like?

Keith: ...uhhhh. like a normal mom?

Hunk: That feels. very vague.

Keith: No it doesn't. Need to feed the komodo-lion. Bye.

Pidge: Okay, seriously. Where did you find a spirit wolf?

Keith: You know how it is in the desert.

Pidge: No? I don't?

Keith: Oh. Well. there's just lots of spirit wolves there.

Hunk: Wait there are? Because I traveled through a pretty big chunk of it with you, and Kosmo was the only one I saw.

Keith: Uh. They're shy?

Lance: Okay, I gotta know. What's up with your knife. I've never seen a weapon that can change shape like that before.

Keith: It's a spirit blade.

Lance: Where the heck did you get a spirit blade!?

Keith: ....uh. I. found it?

Lance: Yeah, but where did you find-

Keith: I think I hear Shiro calling me. Bye.
