#human ulaz

[galraluver]

How would Morvok, Sniv, Ulaz, and Regris try to impress a reader they’re interested in? Would they talk about their exploits or do something they’re skilled at?

That is an interesting question. Here's how I believe they would go about impressing the woman of their dreams (aka all of you, the readers)

_________________________________________

~ Ulaz ~

~ Honestly, Ulaz is the kind of person who would observe you first to make sure that you're interested in him before he tries to impress you

~ To him, romantic relationships should take time to develop in order for the romantic tension to build up, but once he's 1,000% positive that you have a crush on him he spends more time with you

~ Ulaz likes to show off his skills to you whenever you're around and he's always careful not to make any mistakes, the last thing he wants is to embarrass himself in front of you

~ If the castle is parked on some planet, Ulaz definitely goes out on a hunt so he can impress you with his hunting skills

~ He's also always there for you whether you need someone to talk to or hang out with, in order to show you that he's interested he's always present while he's around you

~ Ulaz also impresses you by learning about the things you love or are passionate about, that way he can do those things with you on a regular basis

~ Will definitely get a little shy and blushy if you do or say something, anything, that implies that you're very interested in him

~ Ulaz is a hopeless romantic and will impress you with various romantic gestures, but he won't love bomb you or come on too strong bc he doesn't want to overwhelm you

~ He's also affectionate with you, which works like a charm while he's trying to impress you

~ Another thing Ulaz does to impress you is fire dancing; he's never done it before, but with how flexible he is, he does it perfectly without setting himself or anything else on fire

~ He's also got regular dancing skills, which are extremely impressive

~ With time, he learns how to make you swoon for him and all of his methods work because it isn't long before he begins courting you

_____

~ Regris ~

~ Regris is still a young adult, younger than Ulaz, and even though he's serious most of the time he can get a little awkward around you, his love interest

~ Regris doesn't know what to do or how to impress you, so he does several hours of research to see what humans liked and found attractive

~ He begins working on various tech projects specifically made for you; whether it's something to make your life easier or something akin to an mp3 player that holds thousands of songs with headphones, you can bet he'll make it

~ In order to really woo you, Regris tries writing a poem and giving you flowers

~ He's definitely not a poet, but his attempt to impress you definitely confirms your suspensions about him being romantically interested in you

~ Regris definitely tries to impress you with his fighting skills

~ Just to be clear, he might try fighting someone if it impresses you unless you don't want him to

~ He also likes to impress you with how sweet and cuddly he can be, but he also treats you well just as any future significant other should

~ Regris once tried to perform a traditional dance for you from his father's people, but even though he probably messed up a few steps he could tell that you were still impressed

~ The fact that he can use his tail to lift things is impressive enough, if the two of you are out shopping he uses it to carry some of the bags

~ Thankfully Regris eventually figures out how to impress you without being awkward about it and is successful in showing you that he's romantically interested in you

_____

~ Morvok ~

~ Morvok knows that he's not the highest ranking commander in Zarkon's military, but he can be charming and to him, he thinks he's the best

~ The problem is that when he's around you he gets shy and blushy because he's never been around such a beautiful woman before

~ However, he makes it his mission to impress you after he catches one of the foot soldiers in his ranks flirting with you

~ Instead of fighting off a monster or bringing you the biggest kill he can find, Morvok impresses you with how charming he can be

~ He definitely brags about how many planets he's successfully conquered and how big his territory is, although he leaves out the part when he needed help conquering one planet in particular

~ Morvok also doesn't tell you about how the paladins defeated him, it's too embarrassing bc of the whole ‘Victory or Death’ thing

~ Because of his size, he's avoided most dangerous situations throughout his life, although Morvok knows how to play a few different instruments and he impresses you by showing off his mad musical skills

~ While he's around you, Morvok becomes a little more humble since he doesn't want to scare you away

~ Ultimately, whether you and Morvok end up together is up to you

~ He is cute and fun-sized tho, and he's huggable too

_____

~ Sniv ~

~ One would think that Sniv would keep pestering you when he realizes that he's romantically interested in you, but he doesn't want you to resent him if he comes on too strong

~ However, he does get more lovey and affectionate

~ In order to impress you, Sniv proudly tells you of his exploits and how many planets he's conquered in order to snag a place at the main hub

~ He also brings fresh kills for you on a regular basis and he shows off his fighting skills

~ However, he understands that humans are different and he impresses you by also showing off his sensitive side and how much he truly cares about you as a person

~ Sniv learns about your interests, even the fandoms you're into so that you both can ‘fangirl’ together when one of your favorite artists/directors comes out with something new

~ Another thing he impresses you with are his dancing skills when Zarkon throws a royal ball for only his highest ranking commanders and their plus ones

~ He's funny, too, and knows how to tell hilarious jokes to make you laugh

~ Expect him to make the fur on his head look extra fluffy because he wants to impress you in every way imaginable

~ With how impressive and charming he is, Sniv easily manages to impress you

I think the funniest part of the zombie apocalypse AU is just. everyone chalking up literally everything weird about Keith to him being in this weird half-infected state. Sure, they've never seen a zombie with claws and fangs before, or yellow sclera for that matter, but like- he's already got something super weird going on with the whole... infected but not in his brain thing. It's not that weird that it might result in some... different expressions.

the strength? well, zombies can be pretty strong. the agility? there's some fast zombies. they're absolutely terrifying. the night vision and glowing eyes? actually that one's a little weird. but it falls underneath the same category as his claws and fangs.

Keith believes it too. He can't... quite explain why he can interact with Galra tech, but obviously the virus has altered his DNA in some fashion. Maybe it's just a false flag?

What he can't deny is the symbol on Ulaz's blade. And then he starts to wonder if maybe the reason he's so different from everyone else who was infected is because he's never been entirely human...

(Or, five times Jaskier tells someone he's the Viscount of Lettenhove, and one time he tells the truth.)

VOLTRON HIRAETH AU!!

(link to my page here :D) https://archiveofourown.org/users/GraphX

Basically a rundown of the plot I have planned so far! I will be writing and posting in order on AO3!

But there are some specific scenes I wanted to write because I don't have the patience or time to write everything in order(I'll be posting them here under the Hiraeth AU tag) THIS ENTIRE THING IS GEN BTW!!!

Hiraeth

(n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for lost places of your past

• Allura from another reality goes quintessence crazy after defeating Haggar at the cost of the lives of the other Paladins

• She goes from universe to universe trying to gather enough quintessence to bring back her reality that she accidentally tore apart but only gets worse and worse the more quintessence she is exposed to

• In the current universe she experiments with quintessence and accidentally kills her parents along with Zarkon and Honerva. Villian!Allura turns the blame to the Galra, causing the Allura of this universe to wage war on them as the only successor to the Altean throne.

• Lotor tries to convince Allura that her other self is lying to her but she doesn't believe it, leaving Lotor to flee from the Galran commanders trying to kill him to gain the throne(he goes into hiding before organizing a resistance after meeting the other generals)

• Villian!Allura is concerned that the Paladins of this universe will try to stop her so she destroys Earth

• However prior to the Altean invasion the Kerberos mission took place with Sam and his crew consisting of Matt, Adam and Shiro(who are all 16/17 for plot reasons they were interns or something IT MAKES SENSE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!!)

• Sam, Matt and Shiro are kidnapped and sent to the arenas while Adam manages to steal a ship to get back to Earth, only to find it destroyed

• The Galran Empire remnants (who were already planning on attacking Earth and communicating with Sanda(who sent Sam away on Kerberos because she thought he would get in the way of her failed "negotiations" and hoped he was kidnapped) fight with the Alteans, leaving Earth in the crossfire

• The Blade of Marmora attempt a relief effort and get one billion people off Earth before it explodes, finding Adam and establishing a planet they can live on before leaving them to their own devices

• In this AU all the Paladins are kids when Earth got destroyed (around 6 to 8) and Keith's dad dies during the evacuation helping defend the transports from Alteans but Kolivan saw that Keith's dad had a Marmoran knife(that he didn't give to Keith at 8 years old)

• Kolivan takes in Keith as a Blade agent since he has no human to provide for him but he keeps his identity as a human secret from the rest of the Blades to ensure none of them snitch since the Alteans have offered a lot for humans

• Kolivan knows the knife was Krolia's but doesn't tell her since she already jeopardized the Blade of Marmora once by leaving for Earth and without the temptation of her son she won't leave again

• Keith(as you can expect) did not have a very happy childhood growing up in an organization of trained killer assassin ninjas which resulted in more ~trauma~

• On one of his missions he is captured by Galra and put in the areans with Champion!Shiro and Keith meets another human for the first time who shows him kindness and starts to question if the Blades are right

• Keith escapes from the Arena with the Blades but convinces Ulaz to go back for Shiro and he meets up with Adam in the human colony

• On another mission Keith runs into Lance, Hunk and Pidge who are searching for a supposed superweapon in an attempt to defend themselves from Alteans and Galrans that prevent them from leaving their hiding spot at the edge of the universe

• he thinks to himself "wow these guys are annoying and weird I sure do hope I never see them again" before the Blades immediately order him to find the superweapon to keep it out of human, Altean and Galran hands because they are unreliable

• Krolia helps track down information it and Keith notices that whenever she is bored she recites star charts (kinda like his dad used to do) and the constellations look eerily familar

• Keith gets hurt, Krolia finds out his identity and takes him to the human colony so he doesn't have to stay in the abusive Blade environment anymore

• When she tries to get Keith to colony they are tracked by Alteans and Krolia manages to trick the Alteans and Keith crash lands on the surface only to see the ship leaving

• now that all the paladins are in one place they protect the colony after going on a couple of missions to find the lions while Keith tries to track down the very elusive Blade of Marmora

Theres more to it than that, BUT that's all for now!

[oliveden]

thinking about the blade of marmora in the general keith au. they're having. a time.

kolivan knows of lotor and his generals, but the specifics elude him. he can trace back acxa and zethrid - but ezor's history is vague, and narti's and keith's are nonexistent. keith's starts only from when he entered the army, and narti's starts only from when she entered lotor's service.

it frustrates him immensely, but it's impossible to send an operative into the prince's forces. he's legendarily tight-lipped about his plans, speaking of them solely to his generals, and kolivan knows that will never be an option for the blade.

and then voltron returns. four-fifths of voltron, true, but it's still four-fifths more than they had for thousands of decaphoebs, and kolivan is not so much a fool that he cannot see the hope that they inspire.

ulaz says they should offer aid. he declines, but regardless, the black paladin arrives to speak with them.

it takes several phoebs for their communications to turn into anything resembling an alliance, but it eventually does, and the coordination of their two groups results in far higher success.

the paladins are human, from a planet named earth. kolivan knows that krolia spent several deca-phoebs on that planet, successfully locating the blue lion, and yet it still feels like there's something missing.

(deep undercover in ranveig's territory, krolia still believes that her son is safe on earth.)

The Best Medicine In Space

By bouquetofwhoopsiedaisies @bouquetofwhoopsiedaisies25

On Archive of Our Own

Status: Complete; Oneshot; 5,327 words

Summary:“Sorry,” Keith sighed, pushing his hair away from his sweaty forehead. “I woke up feeling sick this morning, and I thought I could power through it, but I guess it got worse.” The Blades exchanged confused looks. “Sick?” “Yeah. Sick, you know, ill. Unwell. The opposite of a healthy state.” Keith looked around at all of them, taking in their puzzled looks. “When there’s, like, a foreign virus or bacteria that gets into the body and attacks the immune system, and the body has to fight it off.” Confused and awed murmuring broke out among the Blades, who wondered aloud if this was true. “This has been known to happen to certain species of aliens.” Ulaz said slowly. “But Galra do not ‘get sick’.” “Well, humans do.” Keith said. “Guess I didn’t inherit a Galra immune system.” He broke off to cough a few times into the crook of his arm. (After Keith collapses in the middle of sparring, the Blades learn that humans can get sick and what that means. Taking care of their sick youngest member brings out some of the Blades' protective sides.)

My thoughts: Cute! Cute cute cute. Poor Keith is unwell, but there are snuggles and its cute. This is the first Keith centric thing I've recced I think lol.

[entrepy]

A list of Shiro’s scars & where he got them from ( for my own reference because I’m always forgetting what my headcanons are akdjfhg. )

The suture scars from the Galra taking his arm ~ I headcanon that the decision to take his arm came from Haggar, who sat in on a trial and recognised that Shiro would be all kinds of helpful in the future to her ( perhaps she had a vision of the five human paladins and how convenient it would be to have a spy among the ranks. Then again, Ulaz also recognised something in Shiro, so perhaps it was nothing more than his defiance in the arena that he became the chosen ). I imagine this is about 7 months into Shiro’s imprisonment, also 7 months without any medication. There are signs of contractures in his right hand fingers, something that has become noticeable when he stops using his right hand during battles. Haggar’s solution is amputation, which also gives her enough flesh and DNA to start the cloning process, and rewards Shiro with a weaponised prosthetic for his trouble, which, of course, plays into her own plan because she needs Shiro to be an even more formidable force than he already is. Because these are surgical scars and Ulaz was the surgeon, I imagine the surgery minimised unnecessary scarring ( so Shiro doesn’t have the roguish scarring some fanworks depict !! ) 

The most obvious one is the scar across the bridge of his nose. I originally headcanoned this as a battle wound, much like his others, but it’s a perfectly symmetrical wound, which seems unlikely in the heat of battle especially across his face. Once Haggar had his DNA for cloning, she also needed his mind. She doesn’t ( at this point ) have Allura’s abilities to transfer ~essence~ between vessels, so would’ve had to use good ole fashioned tech. I imagine something similar that was used on my boy Bucky Barnes for brainwashing, was used on Shiro to extract not just his memories, but the very essence of himself, allowing a complete duplication of mind, body & soul. The majority of Haggar’s work is based around Quintessence so it makes sense that the tech she used on Shiro for mind-extraction would also use Quintessence, but humans are not compatible with this. Even Keith gets burned by it, but recovers, presumably due to his Galra lineage. Whatever singed Shiro across his nose, was the contraption Haggar used for mind-extraction. ( Prompted by this post. ) This mind-extraction process was also responsible for Shiro’s hair turning white at the front.

Shiro has Hangar’s claw marks on the right hand side just at his waist when Haggar attacks him during Allura’s rescue. The scar extends from his navel, wraps around his side to his spine, as the wound “grew”. The scar doesn’t fully heal in the Altean healing pod, but when he comes out it looks much older than it is.

A burn mark in the shape of a hand on his left upper thigh from where he ( read : Kuron ) cauterized an open wound after his “escape” from the Galra ( after the real Shiro died ). As a consequence of Shiro now living in his clone’s body, he also has all of Kuron’s injuries. As this was in the early phases of Operation Kuron Stage 3, Haggar’s interference was minimal so I think Kuron’s actions here mimck what Shiro would have done in the same situation. 

( The rest of this list are non-canon scars, and not a completely exhaustive list either, and all he got in the arena ) ( I may add more to the list above as I re-watch Voltron ~ these are the ones I know from memory only !!!! )

Mouth shaped bite (roughly 30 small triangular incisions of teeth ) on the fleshy part of his left shoulder, closer to his neck than the ball of his shoulder.

3 claw marks from the top of his right shoulder down to just under his right shoulder blade

1 deep gash scar on his chest from the inner left clavicle across his left pectoral (in an outward direction). 

A smaller gash scar intersects closer to his left side (received the smaller one later). 

Multiple scars on his abdomen and lower back ~ he couldn’t tell you when he got them or who gave them to him. He was in a constant state of healing between trials and injuries usually piled on top of each other. 

A different set of 4 claw marks on the back of his lower right thigh (not as deep as the set on his back). 

A chain shaped burn mark loops twice around his right calf from a kusarigama-like weapon of choice from one monster that also could pass electric current through it ( Shiro only survived this electrocution due to his cybernetic arm collecting the discharge ). 

[shinyorangemushroom]

First art of the new year. Ulaz, the ”demon” and Ulaz the man. This is just some fun idea of Galra as nether beings and a few just live on earth and masquerade as human. Ulaz would be a doctor and alchemist using his nether abilities for “uncanny miracle” treatment. In his human glamour he keeps his clan markings but disguises them as tattoos and vitiligo. Also makes his height not quite as intimidating. I dunno. Something fun to play with.

[medu-nefer]

If you’re still taking requests, may I have some headcanons for an S/O with chronic pain and fatigue, for Kolivan and Sendak?

I did what I could, so I hope that you like it

_________________________________________

~ Sendak ~

~ Galra generally don't have as many illnesses and conditions as humans do because it's basically bred out of them as a species, so when Sendak learns that you have a condition that causes chronic pain and fatigue he tries his best to make you as comfortable as possible

~ He researches your condition so he can better understand it without making you uncomfortable, although he listens to you so he can understand what you're going through from your point of view

~ He doesn't view you as weak because it's not your fault that you have your condition, but you're the only person he makes accommodations for

~ Based on what you've told him that you need extra sleep Sendak makes the bed even more comfortable when you need a nap

~ He also helps you practice relaxation techniques and simple physical exercise

~ Support groups aren't really a thing in the galra empire, although if you have mood swings or anxiety he schedules a talk therapy session with one of the best therapists in the empire via video chat

~ Sendak likes taking naps with you from time to time, at his age and with how busy he is he needs it

~ For your tender and sore muscles Sendak delicately rubs pain relief ointment on your skin where you're sore, he doesn't like seeing you in pain

~ If your periods are affected by your condition Sendak gives you a little extra painkiller so that your cramps aren't too bad and he keeps the right period products stocked in the bathroom as well

~ He eventually commissions Haggar to make a cure for you so that you don't have to deal with your condition for the rest of your life; it can be done because she knows ancient altean healing magic

~ Modern galra technology and medicine also gives her an advantage, it just takes her a little while to make a cure for you

_____

~ Kolivan ~

~ Shortly after Kolivan started courting you he noticed how there was something different about you; he never noticed it much before, but you seem tired and in pain more than the paladins

~ Before he could ask you about it you confessed that you have a condition that makes you experience chronic pain and fatigue, as well as a few other unpleasant symptoms

~ Kolivan isn't familiar with human conditions and illnesses, although he does everything he can to make you comfortable

~ You agree to move in with him so he can take care of you easier after he asks you

~ He asks Ulaz if he can make a cure for you because he doesn't want you to keep suffering from your condition

~ Ulaz can definitely make something, but it'll take a while because some of the things he needs are rare and hard to find

~ Until then he lets you rest as much as you need to, he even made the bed more comfy for you

~ You appreciate that Kolivan's willing to take the time out of his schedule in order to take care of you

~ He listens to you when you need someone to talk to and he helps you with simple exercises

~ If you need someone else to talk to you talk to the on-site therapist

~ Doing yoga with him every couple of days helps you to relax

~ Ulaz keeps muscle relaxant ointment in stock for you, it's effective in making your chronic pain less painful

~ There isn't much anyone can do for your chronic fatigue until your cure is ready

~ You take plenty of naps, though

~ If you need a massage then he gives you a massage if he's not too busy

~ You couldn't have asked for a better significant other, until your cure is ready Kolivan takes care of you in every way imaginable

today I am thinking about him... druid Keith.

thinking about the way he doesn't even really have his own name until he's finally reunited with Krolia. He was always just a tool for Haggar, someone that she and the druids only raised because of his magical potential. how the closest thing he had to a name was just the word for scrap- because what else would he be, when even his own parents threw him out?

(they didn't, but he has no way of knowing this.)

thinking about how he's raised in the heart of the Galra Empire, under Haggar's direct control. How he's taught everything he knows about the universe from her, about how the Galra Empire is unquestionably the true ruling force of the universe because might makes right. about how he slowly starts to question this as they develop the komar... and as three aliens that look so much like his non-Galra half are brought in. about how the odd technician named Ulaz challenges so many of his beliefs, makes him think about things in a way he never has before.

about how he talks to Shiro in secret, curious about the human. about how Shiro is wary of him at first, seeing as he's a druid, but slowly realizes that the person behind the mask is a child who has never known anything but this. about how he catches Shiro in his escapes, and offers to help. about how the first time Shiro sees his face and realizes he has human blood is the first time Keith steps foot on Earth.

also thinking about how he doesn't connect with the red lion right away. He helps the paladins secure it from Sendak's ship, but as far as they know, it doesn't have a paladin. about how he's not ready to be a paladin yet, and won't be for sometime. about how he slowly has to unlearn everything he learned in the Empire, and maybe along the way, also learn that he deserves to be loved and cared for.

about how he and Allura slowly warm up to each other, talking about magic. about how awed he is when she restores the entire Balmera, and about the awful way it makes him feel about his own magic, twisted and corrupted just like every other druid. about how he tries to learn what Galran magic was like before the war, when things were different. about how he sheds his druid robes, piece by piece, and grows into the person he was always meant to be.

it's good shit!! and someday I'll get the chance to actually write it!

My happy place?  Dads of Marmora raising Pidge.  I mean, look at this wholesome man loving a human daughter? He adores Pidge! 

Anyway, I was hit with the idea of a bunch of AUs I’ve worked with. And this was among them. I’m glad I could indulge!

I really need to think for a sort of oneshot or something for Dads of Marmora raising Pidge for whatever reason.

Well, I hope y’all enjoy this one! Until next time!

similarly, angst potentials of keith's appearance

looking human vs. looking galran vs. being able to shift

a) he's never been anything else but human his whole life, right? but there are just the small details, the things that don't add up, the blade that Ulaz carries that's just a little too familiar (canon)

b) he's never going to be human, he's never going to fit in. if he's born on earth, he can't be part of it, there is an entire half of his heritage he can never be a part of. he is monstrous, alien to them in the worst sense of the word

c) he tries to pretend he's human on earth and galra in space but both of those are wrong, even though they’re supposed to both be true, and forcing himself into this box is only hurting. no matter where he is, it feels like he's lying and neither human nor galra customs feel right to him. he's an outlier no matter what he does and there’s nothing he can do to change that

angst potential of keith maturing at galra levels, which are way longer than human lifespans

keith, pre-adolescence, realizing his dad isn't going to live long enough to see him as an adult, that he's going to be left alone at the galran equivalent of a teenager
