#giant mermaid katie holt

[chibi-pix]

I wasn’t originally going to add Lance, but I thought drawing him would definitely help show that Pidge is giant. Matt is massive! Just look at that tiny boy! And he’s a good size as a human being and compared to the siblings, he’s so tiny.  I love it. 

Anyway! I was originally just gonna Pidge and Matt, showing their differences in size. When you don’t add in Lance, they look fairly average in size. Once he’s shown...  The ocean is a bit more frightening, huh?

“You were what,” Coran asked skeptically, crossing his arms over his chest. It was hard to tell with his giant orange mustache blocking most of it, but Lance was pretty sure his lips were pressing themselves into a thin line.

“Saved by a merperson,” he repeated coolly, glancing at the older man from over the top of the physician’s head. Stinging salves were rubbed all over his half-naked body, making him grimace from time to time as they covered and cleaned his many scratches and cuts. “Merman? He was male.”

“But they’re…”

“Legends? Myths,” Lance finished for the other, quirking his lips slightly despite the pain. “Yes, I am well aware of the stories told by sailors and fishermen.”

“Brutes, more like,” Coran corrected with a frown, moving his arms instead behind his back. “And you’re positive it wasn’t just a hallucination brought on by nearly dying out at sea? You’ve yet to be thoroughly cleared from having a concussion.”

Chapter 6: Home

As promised, the rest of the team was waiting for her. When Pidge exited her healing pod, it was into the waiting arms of Shiro.

“It’s good to see you, Pidge,” he said, hugging her tight. “How are you feeling?”

She clung to him. “Better.” She pulled away, searching his face. “What about you? When did you wake up?”

“Not too long ago,” he replied, his voice a bit strained.

“Well, now that you’re both awake,” Lance interjected, coming in between them and throwing an arm around each of their shoulders, “we can get this party started.”

Allura smiled gently. “I wouldn’t say party is quite the right word for it.”

Lance rolled his eyes. “Whatever.”

Shiro carefully extracted himself from Lance’s grasp. “Sounds great, Lance.”

The Blue Paladin cheered, pulling Pidge in closer. “Come on, we can fill you and Shiro in on all our fabulous adventures.”

“But first,” Allura insisted. “I think getting something to eat is in order.”

“Yeah, I’ll go take care of that,” Hunk told them. “I’ll be in the kitchen, whipping up some dinner. Meet me in the dining room in, like, an hour or something.” He reached over and ruffled Pidge’s hair on his way out.

“You’re the best, Hunk,” Lance called after him.

“So,” Pidge began, and all the focus suddenly snapped back to her. “How long was I out?”

Keith shrugged. “Three, four hours? Not too long.”

Pidge nodded, readjusting her internal clock. It’d been nearly twenty hours––vargas––since she’d left Serva. “Miss anything exciting since then?”

She saw Shiro and Keith exchange a quick glance. “We can discuss all that later,” Shiro assured her, turning to meet her gaze.

“Good news is,” Coran burst in excitedly, “repairs on your lion are coming along swimmingly! You did a good job repairing her in the field; there’s really not too much more for me to do. She should be fully healed within the next quintant.”

Another day or two, then. Not too long, but longer than she would’ve liked.

Just wait it out, she reminded herself. Once she’s up and running again, you’ll be able to go help Matt.

“That’s great,” she said, smiling. “Thanks, Coran.”

The conversation drifted, and Pidge started to tune it out. Despite her not being the focus of the conversation, she didn’t miss the glances they kept shooting her: cautious, gentle, full of concern. She squirmed, anxious to get away from their worrying looks.

“I’m gonna go take a shower and get dressed,” she told them, accidentally interrupting Coran in his rambles about repairing the lions. She pulled away from Lance’s half-hug. “It’s been a long week.”

Allura smiled at her. “Yes, of course. We’ll see you at dinner, then.”

“Yeah. See you in a bit.”

She took off.

Back in her room, she took off the white bodysuit. Looking down at herself, she saw that all the bruising had disappeared. There wasn’t a single mark left to show of the ordeal she’d been through.

Like it never happened.

She showered, letting the warm water wash away the days of dirt and painful memories that plagued her.

She changed into her clothes solemnly. After a few days in her suit, it felt odd to be back in her loose-fitting comfy earth clothes. She glanced at her desk where her glasses––no, Matt’s glasses––rested. After a short internal debate, she picked them up. She carried them in her hands as she exited her room.

“Hey, Pidge.”

She turned down the hall to see Keith just coming out of his own room. “Hi, Keith.”

They walked towards the dining room together in companionable silence. If he noticed that she wasn’t wearing her glasses, that she was acting a bit differently than usual, he didn’t let on.

“Shiro woke up only about an hour before you,” Keith told her after a minute. “He had a dream or something while he was in the pod––some memories on how he escaped. Anyways, he apparently has some coordinates encoded in his arm. We were hoping you’d be able to figure that out.”

“Yeah,” she answered mechanically. “I can take a look at that.”

He paused, looking at her curiously. “Are you okay?”

She didn’t answer.

His brow furrowed. “Pidge?”

“I’m fine,” she replied. “Just…tired.”

He put a comforting hand on her shoulder. “Hey, it’s okay. Whatever happened, whatever you went through when we were separated––it’s over now.”

She clenched her fists. Not if I can help it. “I know.”

“Coran and I were stuck in some sort of time loop,” the princess was saying. Coran had decided to pass on dinner and instead head back down to the lions’ bays to continue repairs. “But Hunk and Lance were able to broadcast a strong enough signal to us to get us out.”

Hunk nodded sagely. “It was easy. The mermaid queen had a giant clam that acted as a communications device,” he explained

Shiro held up a hand. “I’m sorry, did you say mermaid queen?”

“Aw, man, you guys should have seen it!” Lance blurted. “An underwater planet!”

“It was pretty freaking cool,” Hunk agreed. “Who would’ve thought. Mermaids are real and they live in space.”

“We totally saved the whole planet. We had to overthrow a crazy powerful mind-controlling dictator. But it turned out she was being mind-controlled by this giant serpent thing,” Lance regaled. “So then we took on the serpent––”

“Which was terrifying.”

“Dude, I think you mean awesome!” Lance exclaimed. “And there was this group of rebels who were able to, like, counteract the crazy mind-control––”

“Lance wore a jellyfish on his head.”

“Hell yeah, I did. I named him Tentacool.”

Allura sighed, shaking her head. “I’m not even going to ask.”

Lance rolled his eyes. “Anyways, they were so thankful to us for saving them, that they threw a huge celebration in our honor––”

“I wouldn’t say it was huge,” Hunk tried.

“And,” Lance preened, “I got kissed by a mermaid.”

“I’m having a hard time believing that.”

“Shut up, Keith! It totally happened.”

“Yep. I was there.”

“See? Hunk vouches for me!”

Keith rolled his eyes. “Whatever.”

Pidge sat there listlessly, absently poking at the food goo with her spoon. She still wasn’t wearing her glasses––Matt’s glasses. Instead, they rested on the table by her plate.

She barely listened to the conversation, as Keith went on about giant space lizard things, and something about piloting the Black Lion. All of it just faded away to background noise as she sat there and stared at nothing.

“What about you, Pidge?” Hunk asked, startling her out of her reverie as he turned towards her. “What did you get up to?”

“Yeah!” Lance agreed. “You’ve been weirdly quiet. Tell us of the adventures of the Great and Almighty Pidge!”

Her spoon stilled. For a moment, the only sound was the low hum of the engines; then she took a shuddering breath, and in a shaky voice, murmured, “I saw my brother.”

A hush fell over the room.

After a long moment, she heard Shiro’s voice. “Matt?”

Pidge nodded.

She didn’t look at any of them, refused to meet their questioning gazes, their sympathetic looks. Instead, her eyes stayed locked on the glasses.

Eventually, Allura spoke. “What happened?”

Pidge’s breath caught. “I––”

An arm wrapped around her––Hunk––and she stiffened instinctively before relaxing into his embrace. “It’s okay,” he whispered. “Let it out.”

And with that, her resolve crumbled.

“I was so close,” she gasped, tears falling freely. “He was right there, but I couldn’t save him.”

Hunk tightened his hold on her, rocking her gently. Someone else––Lance?––had come around to her other side and was gently rubbing circles on her back, whispering words of comfort.

She hiccupped and sobbed into Hunk’s shirt, harder than she’d cried in a long while.

She pulled away as the tears dried up, leaving her still gasping for air. “I––he––” Her breathing was shallow, erratic, and she couldn’t get her heartbeat to slow.

Shiro had come around the table to face her. He put his hands on her shoulders, crouching down so they were at eye-level. “Pidge,” he said gently. “Katie.”

A sharp intake of breath, and she looked up to meet his eyes.

“Deep breaths,” he reminded her. “Take it easy. In…then out…. That’s it….”

She breathed in time with his words, until she’d calmed herself down enough to talk. “Okay. I’m okay.”

A small smile tugged at his face. “Keep telling yourself that.”

She let out a dry laugh, rubbing at her eyes.

It was Keith who finally stated what they’d all been thinking. “Why didn’t you tell us earlier?”

She shrugged. “I…don’t know. Didn’t know how to bring it up, I guess.”

“Do you want to talk about it?” Hunk asked.

She froze. “I––” Her voice broke.

“Please? Let us help.”

And just like that, the story came spilling out. The crash-landing on Serva, finding the prison camp, finding Matt, all culminating in the escape attempt and her having to leave her brother behind. On and on, she rambled through her tears. “Eventually, I made it to that…wherever the hell that was where you picked me up,” she finished. “I just…I was so close….”

When she finished, there was silence.

Hunk hadn’t let go of her throughout her rambling explanation, and now he only held her tighter.

“Oh, Pigeon,” Lance murmured, leaning in to hug her from the other side. “I’m so sorry.”

“We’ll find him,” Hunk added. “Promise.”

Sandwiched between the two of them, she started to feel a bit better. She sniffled. “Thanks, guys.”

Keith’s arms were crossed as he sat glaring at the table. “Well, we know now what our next course of action is.”

“Absolutely,” Shiro agreed. “We go to Serva, and we find Matt.”

“What? The Green Paladin was there?”

“Yes, sir.”

“And?! What happened?!”

Nerok, the warden of Serva prison base Theta-twelve, swallowed nervously before stating hesitantly, “Unfortunately…they managed to escape. But,” he was quick to interject, “we did manage to capture their accomplice!”

Commander Reggar paused. “Accomplice?”

“Yes, sir. The Green Paladin was attempting to escape alongside one of the prisoners here. We’ve yet to determine their connection––”

“That’s no matter. Which prisoner?”

“Ah, number one-one-seven-dash-nine-eight-seven-six, sir,” Nerok reported, consulting his notes.

The Commander frowned, glancing to a screen on his left as an image of the prisoner in question appeared on it. What would a paladin of Voltron have wanted with this specific prisoner?

When Reggar didn’t say anything, Nerok continued. “As of yet, we do not know what the exact relationship is between the two. But they certainly seem to know each other, based on what they said. We, ah, also have a video from our security feed.”

Reggar’s eyes flickered back to the comm screen. “Show me.”

“Yes, sir.”

The feed of Nerok was replaced by a grainy video recording.

Two figures—the paladin and the prisoner—were running from the edge of the compound towards a small podship.

The paladin turned, shouting something, possibly a name: “Matt!”

The prisoner struggled against the bond of his captors. “Go!” he yelled to the paladin. “I’ll be fine!”

The paladin seemed conflicted, drawing their bayard, settling into a fighting stance.

“Just GO!” the prisoner repeated.

The paladin took a hesitant step, then climbed inside the podship. “I’ll come back for you!” they said. “I promise!”

With that, the podship took off, and the video ended.

Reggar sneered as the feed returned to show Nerok. “The paladin said they’d be back,” Reggar noted. “Make sure you’re ready for their return.”

“Yes, sir. Vrepit sa!”

And with that, the comm ended.

The Commander directed his attention back to the other screen, where the information on Prisoner 117-9876 flickered steadily.

“Lieutenant Blazak!” he shouted, turning towards the other officer in the room. “Bring me all the information you can find on this prisoner. Where he’s from, how he was captured, who he was captured with, how long he’s been here. No matter how inconsequential. I want everything.”

Okay, so @rueitae mentioned in a tag about the mermaid AU since it’s been so long since I’ve drawn for it. So! Here I am, redrawing part of my first picture of the giant!Mermaid Pidge AU. It feels nice being able to draw this again, especially since it feels like my art has changed since then.  Fun fact! When I first came up with the giant mermaid AU, I was watching Jacksepticeye’s playthrough of Subnautica for the umpteenth time. It somehow got me wanting to have such AU, giant creatures and all. While drawing this one, for that feel again, I decided to turn it on again.  For those interested, this AU has a fanfic called Deep Waters. You can read it here. The AU is Plance, Pidge x Lance, in the long run, even if this picture isn’t exactly that, it’s just terrified Lance and curious Pidge. 

Anyway! I hope you guys enjoy this redraw! I’ll admit, for a moment, I forgot how I used to draw water and bubbles. Oops. But! I think I got it! Well! Until next time!

[chibi-pix]

Pidge sitting on a sandbar, her “knees” up, she’s like a little island for Lance to just perch himself on so they could enjoy each others’ company in the ocean and talk.  Oh how I missed drawing giant Pidge with her itty bitty boyfriend. So now here we go!

[chibi-pix]

Have some future mermaid AU Plance with a kid! I’m considering calling the kid “Neptune”, both like the god of the sea and like the planet.  Enjoy!

[chibi-pix]

I wanted to draw a sort of mermaid!Pidge for no apparent reason. My mind decided to say “Hey! What if she was giant!” And... now I have a giant mermaid!Pidge holding little diver Lance. Pidge is just so curious when she finds something strange and catches it in her hands (which I forgot to put webbing on, but I’m not going back to fix it), and Lance... He wouldn’t mind meeting a mermaid... but one this big?!

I’m rewatching a youtuber play Subnautica and immediately wanted Lance to subtly reference it. Don’t worry, Lance, I’m sure the others are gentle. If not, Pidge will protect you!  If not... well... don’t dive too deep or hope others don’t come too close to the surface?  Well... have fun, Lance. 

And feel free to tag as Plance if you wish it. 

[chibi-pix]

No idea when this would take place, but I just wanted to doodle Lance giving Pidge little kisses (pun intended). Yup, this AU is definitely gonna be a Plance one. I think it’s cute and perfect.  Thinking of my works, art and writings alike, I realized I may not have what people call an OTP. I just go with the flow of things and where my creativity leads me. And my creativity is leading me to Plance with this AU. Hey! Whatever works. ^_^

Well! Enjoy!

[chibi-pix]

Four happily created, AU Pidge phone wallpapers! Simple. Chibied. Adorable. And free to be used!  I hope y’all enjoy these four. And who knows, maybe I’ll decide to more Pidges or even other characters as they appear in the AUs I work with. We never know with me. 

[chibi-pix]

What is size consistency? Hell if I knew. And hell if I knew how to draw boats.

Anyway! @olkarianprincess said they would love to see her interact with others, so here was have Lance introducing his friends to his new, aquatic friend. She just so happens to be bigger, much much bigger, than his uncle’s boat.  Honestly? I love how Keith (a freakin’ cryptic lover) is so excited to see her. Mermaids? Giants? Why not both!? And poor Hunk... I think he passed out. And Pidge getting spooked. She’s so much bigger than them and Keith shouting in excitement spooked her. I love it!

Well, enjoy. Hopefully I can come up with more things to draw; ideas hit, but not all of them have given me the mental and physical ability to draw them. Oh well. 

[chibi-pix]

Well, I decided to doodle these two up again, simply just showing basic appearances. While Lance’s outfits will change from time to time (depending on where he’s at and what’s going on), his dive suit is very common for swimming, diving, and even surfing. 

Also, enjoy a basic size comparison of the two. 

Due to my struggle of being consistent with sizes, things may continually vary with them. Well, that happens. But just know, Lance is very tiny compared to Pidge. Actually... every human is in this AU. To think she’s the smallest of her family/kind.  Remembering that Pidge can hold Lance in her hands with ease and even cup them over him without harming him helps in drawing that... maybe. 

Also, we’ve seen Lance with a vest on and part of the patch on it (which in my original doodle for that, I actually incorrectly spelled “research” and wrote it as “reasearch”, oops). Well! Here’s its appearance!

I had considered changing it up over time, but I really like its design. It’s kinda cute and simple. We’ve seen it referred to as “AARC” (pronounced “Ark”) by Shiro during his incident, and in this AU, I like to think it’s a common thing/location many people know about.  I’m thinking AARC is run by Alfor, who I plan to have as Lance’s uncle in this AU. That makes him and Allura cousins (so no Allurance in this AU, sorry Allura/Lance shippers). And speaking of Allura. 

I don’t know much about how cousins act, I’m not close with mine really, but I assume them to be like siblings at times. Some moments you love them, other moments you hate them, and occasionally you wish they weren’t right about your private life and secrets. Yeah, he hasn’t told Allura about Pidge yet.  She’s human in this AU and works at AARC. I think Lance works part time or just simply hangs around. 

Also... I may be leaning more towards this as a Plance sort of AU, even with their difference in sizes. But hey, see it how you wish until something happens further in the AU. Anyway! That’s about it for now. Maybe sometime I can do other characters and/or notes about the AU.
