[eledritch]

milestone prompt!! sheith where they try ridiculous things with shiro's new arm (sex related or otherwise). bonus points for silly/awkward sexytimes. extra super bonus points if you wanna throw some galra keith in there too.

wow thank you so much for this...i had a lot of fun with it and while there isn’t any galra keith, there is a lot of Shiro In Love which i figured you might also like. 

without further ado, here is a silly fic of shiro and keith doing silly things with shiro’s hand. partly based off of this post by @goghbach & this ask I received awhile back. it’s (mostly) SFW~

Follower Milestone Prompt #1: Getting Handsy

read it on ao3

“It’s pretty big,” Keith says, inspecting the new arm critically.

Shiro coughs. The glint in Keith’s eye is making him nervous. “Yeah, I guess so…”

“I could probably sit on it,” Keith continues.

Shiro chokes on his own spit. “Nngh?” he says, eloquently.

Keith looks up, nonplussed. “You know,” he explains, “like, I could sit on it, and you could punch really hard and make it fly across the room like a rocket launcher.”

They’re not on the same page, here, and Shiro honestly isn’t sure if Keith’s idea is better or worse than his. “I don’t even know if the neural connection extends that far,” he protests weakly.

“Then we should try it,” Keith declares. “What could go wrong?”

“I mean...a lot,” Shiro points out. “A lot could, potentially, go wrong.”

Keith gives him a flat look. “You encouraged me to drive my hoverbike off a cliff when I was a teenager, Shiro. How is this less dangerous?”

“Point taken.” Shiro sighs. “Alright, well, I mean...is this room big enough?” They’re standing in an empty aircraft hangar, where they were supposed to be inspecting it as a new hangar for the Lions. As usual when they’re with each other, they got distracted.

“We should probably go outside,” Keith says.

“Where everyone can see us?”

Keith rolls his eyes. “Alright, fine. The hangar is probably big enough.”

“It’s still not very safe,” Shiro hedges.

Keith sighs, stalks over to a workbench, and picks up an abandoned pair of plastic safety goggles. He slaps them on and raises an eyebrow. “Safety,” he says.

“Fine,” Shiro relents.

Keith grins and walks back over with a spring in his step. “Can you put your arm down?”

“Down…? Oh.” Keith is slinging a leg over Shiro’s floating forearm. Shiro really hates that the arm is, in fact, big enough for Keith to straddle it somewhat comfortably. It looks a little awkward, but Keith determinedly hunches over and peers at Shiro over his shoulder.

“Okay, see, this is cool,” Keith says. “Now, you try.”

Shiro wavers. “This is still a terrible idea,” he says, because if Keith gets hurt at least then Shiro can say I told you so, and then settles back into a defensive stance, focusing on powering up the socket in a slowly growing warning whir of sound. He whips his arm back, impressed Keith manages to stay on, then with gritted teeth releases all of the stored up energy in a deafening blast of blue electricity.

It’s amazing.

Keith zooms across the hangar at a speed previously unknown to mankind, lightning arcing through the air behind him. He looks like a witch on a broomstick, if the witch was dressed in a Garrison officer’s uniform and the broomstick was a military grade prosthetic arm that never needed to be as big as it is. But god, is Shiro glad it’s as big as it is.

Keith leaves a trail of destruction in his wake, and it’s probably a good thing there’s not much in the hangar, because dust billows outwards and upwards, an entire table goes flying through the air and smashes into smithereens against the opposite wall, and the unlucky metal husk of a fighter jet crumples pathetically at the blast wave’s impact.

Thankfully, Shiro calculated right, and the energy runs out before Keith reaches the opposite wall. By the time he goes tumbling off with a shout, the arm is traveling at a nonlethal velocity. As it is, Keith lands hard, and Shiro is about to yank the arm back to him and jog over...but it’s a long distance, at least a hundred yards, and he’s got a better idea.

Or worse idea.

The metal fingers grab Keith by the collar of his uniform like an oversized kitten, and Keith only has time to yelp, “Shiro, what – !” before Shiro sends the arm hurtling back towards him like a boomerang, or a very large, fairly deadly elastic band. Keith screeches and clings on for dear life, but Shiro is pretty sure he’s having fun. This is confirmed when a heavy bundle of shocked Keith careens into Shiro’s arms, or rather, arm, sending them both staggering and then falling backwards onto the ground, with Keith on Shiro’s chest.

“Holy shit,” Keith wheezes. His hair is sticking up and his eyes are wide with a delight Shiro hasn’t seen in him for a long, long time. “That...was…”

“Fucking awesome?” Shiro finishes, heart pounding with excess adrenaline as the arm’s system cools down.

Keith snorts, and then dissolves into full-blown giggles, collapsing onto Shiro and burying his face in Shiro’s jacket. “Fucking awesome,” he agrees. “Oh my god. We’re officers, Shiro.”

“We’re also having fun,” Shiro says, and the prosthetic pets Keith’s hair fondly. Keith leans into it, and shoots him a dopey smile. Shiro smiles back, and revels in the familiar warmth of Keith over him, chin resting against Shiro’s chest.

“We should go outside now and do it again,” Keith muses after a long and wonderful moment.

“Yes,” Shiro says with feeling, and helps him to his feet.

*

Iverson gives them an earful later when they show up twenty minutes late to their night meeting, covered in red desert dust and fresh bruises, but it’s totally worth it for the sound of Keith’s laughter, echoing in Shiro’s head like his favorite song long after it’s gone.

*

The next night, they end up in the desert again, at the edge of a familiar cliff.

So many things have changed, but it’s good to know that this, at least, has stayed the same.

“Are you sure about this?” Shiro asks for the thousandth time.

“Yes,” Keith says without hesitation. “Ready?”

“As I’ll ever be,” Shiro sighs, and tries to stop himself from gripping the handlebars too hard as Keith accelerates towards the cliff. He knows, if they were caught out here, people wouldn’t understand why they’re putting themselves in danger to have fun. But they also wouldn’t understand what it’s like to live every day on the edge of danger, with the threat of it looming over your head at every waking moment.

It’s difficult to transition from soldier to civilian, even more difficult when you’ve been a soldier in space for years dealing with forces far beyond your control or understanding. They haven’t discussed it, but Shiro would bet anything Keith feels the same way – it’s unsettling to go from a hundred to zero overnight. Their expectation for danger is omnipresent, even if, for once, there is none. Safety has become strange.

So, this way, they’re choosing their own danger. Together.

Keith flies off the cliff’s edge, Shiro close behind. He brakes on the top of the cliff instead of following him over, and aims his hand for Keith before releasing it in the same thunderous crackle of noise as before. As if in reply, the clouded sky rumbles, and Shiro’s heart pounds in excitement. It’s the monsoon season, and the thought of a desert storm sends his arm flying faster, almost too fast when it connects with the bottom of Keith’s hoverbike and latches on.

He’s far away, but Shiro, muscle straining, sees the moment Keith’s hoverbike wins against gravity and lifts, swooping gracefully out of its tailspin downwards and back up towards the dark sky. Outlined against the faint moonlight, Keith throws his arms up with a resounding whoop of joy, some strange creature soaring through the night, pale blue lightning all around him.

Real lightning tears the sky open in the distance, over the silhouetted mesas and mountains, and the rain begins to fall. Shiro guides Keith down to the earth before following him over the cliff, with only one hand, and just a human one at that, to guide him. But then Keith shouts, “Shiro, your turn!” and waves Shiro’s hand at him with a blinding grin.

And how can Shiro say no to that?

The hand returns to him, shoving up under his hoverbike, and Shiro’s breath is stolen by the sudden jolt and gain in altitude, wind whipping past him, rain splattering over his worn leather jacket as the storm picks up. He looks down at Keith, staring up at him with wide eyes full of lightning, and just like that his breath is stolen again.

It has nothing to do with the wind.

*

“Keith, you should really sit up,” Shiro says, studying him across the desk, lips pursed. Keith is hunched over his paperwork like a particularly pouty gargoyle, and glares at Shiro like one, too.

“Shiro,” he grits out, “now is really not the time for your nagging.”

Shiro lifts his hands in surrender. “Not nagging! Just...observing. Helpfully. You’re gonna get back problems with that posture.”

Keith grumbles something under his breath, and stretches, his spine popping audibly. They wince in unison. “Think I already have them,” Keith admits. “I don’t even remember the last time my back was this knotted up. It wasn’t even this bad after I slept in the Black Lion’s cockpit for a week straight.”

Shiro’s jaw clenches. “You did what?”

Keith coughs. “Nevermind. My back does hurt. So does my head. But this stupid paperwork has to get done; I’m not gonna leave an entire base without clearance for rations just because I need a massage or something.”

Shiro perks up. “A massage?” he says.

Oblivious, Keith continues, “Yes, but the Garrison isn’t exactly crawling with masseuses, and even if it was you know I’m not the best with strangers touching me, and –”

“What about if I use this?” Shiro’s right hand pops up helpfully, fingers wiggling.

Keith turns red and his jaw drops. “Wow,” he says. “You really just offered to give me a massage with your magical floating hand?”

“I’m still offering,” Shiro says gently, even as his hand creeps across the table on two fingers, mimicking walking. “We can both keep doing our paperwork, and you can avoid a slipped disc.”

“That’s creepy,” Keith informs him, watching the crawling hand, but his expression is thoughtful. “Yeah. Okay. You can try it. But if it’s too distracting…”

Keith is always distracting on some level, but Shiro doesn’t have the heart to tell him that.

When the hand touches Keith’s back, Keith sighs at the contact, scooting forward in his chair to give Shiro space to work. He starts a new page of work as Shiro stretches the fingers over his shoulder blades, focusing on feeling for the tense muscles, digging in when he finds them and working his thumb and forefinger into the knotted tissue. Keith sighs again, louder and more content, and for a second he glances up, half-lidded eyes meeting Shiro’s.

Thank you, Keith mouths, and quietly goes back to work, rolling his shoulders into Shiro’s touch.

Shiro may have accidentally given a few bases triple the rations they needed, but frankly it is unrealistic to expect him to do math when he can feel Keith’s rippling muscle under his fingertips.

*

“I mean, I want you to try it, at least,” Keith says stubbornly, sitting up on his elbows and peering at Shiro’s lubed up fingers. “I’m okay with it, really.”

Shiro puts his head in his other, non-lube-covered hand. “These are like, twice the size of my normal fingers,” he groans. “I don’t think…”

Keith shrugs. “So it’s just like starting with two. That’s fine. We’ve done that.”

“You could just fuck me instead?” Shiro suggests hopefully.

Keith considers it for half a second, then sighs. “I’ve already done that, like, every time since we got back to Earth. You can’t run from this problem forever, Shiro.” Read: oh my god, please just fuck me, we both know I’m going through withdrawal.

“It’s not a problem! I can use my left hand –”

Keith’s glare silences him, and he winces. Yeah, fair point. He’s really awful at using his left hand for, uh...this. Ambidexterity has its limits. “You could, and I could use my own hands, but I’m asking you to try with this one, Shiro. Please.”

“Okay,” Shiro finally says, chewing his lip. “If you’re sure.”

He’s very, very careful. Keith’s face still scrunches up, and his stomach flips. Shiro starts to pull it out, and Keith grabs his wrist instantly, shaking his head. “Uh-uh,” Keith grunts, and oh, his voice is uneven already. Shiro presses into him a little harder, and Keith’s mouth falls open in a sound he would probably call embarrassing but which Shiro can only describe as hot.

Shiro curls the thick metal finger and Keith whines.

“Huh,” Shiro whispers. “That’s new.”

“Not a word,” Keith warns, though it falls a little flat when he’s arching up into Shiro’s touch and all but verbally begging for more. Shiro, suddenly, wants to make him beg, and shifts over him, forcing Keith’s legs open wider. He pours more lube over his fingers, trying to ease in a second, and Keith pants, open-mouthed. He’s so hard, and Shiro wants to make him come so, so badly.

He leans down, emboldened by Keith’s honest pleasure, and lets his teeth graze the flushed shell of Keith’s ear. “I’m not gonna fuck you,” Shiro tells him, soft and private. “I think I’m just gonna use my fingers tonight, baby. What do you think?”

Keith shudders without an ounce of protest and whispers, “Yes,” squirming under him.

“Yes, what?” Shiro needles, letting the second finger rub and press, but not breach.

Keith shakes his head. “You’re a menace,” he hisses, gritting his teeth.

Shiro wonders if he can get those teeth to sharpen into fangs, again. Preferably in a kinder way than a sword fight. Or maybe in a different sort of sword fight.

Another day, Takashi. They have time now, for that...for rain checks and other days. The thought is almost unbelievable. Almost. It’s easier to believe they made it this far when he’s looking at Keith. Everything is easier when he’s looking at Keith.

“I’m also your boyfriend, lucky you,” Shiro chuckles, still braced over him, still teasing, shoving aside the tangled emotion.

“I am lucky,” Keith says then, earnestly, and Shiro falters, emotion rushing right back to him faster than the rocketing arm, his elbow almost giving out from under him where he’s braced over Keith on the bed.

“Oh,” Shiro says.

Keith’s eyebrows draw together. “Oh?”

“I think I changed my mind,” Shiro says breathlessly, “because I need to be inside of you, like, yesterday.”

“Oh,” Keith says, happily, and kisses him in enthusiastic agreement.

*

Shiro wakes up with Keith wrapped around his arm like a sexy octopus.

No, nope, bad thought. Keith is not an octopus. Keith is a Keith, and Shiro loves him very much.

God, Shiro’s coffee dependence has hit him full force since their return to Earth and his body’s rediscovery of the dual blessing and curse of caffeine. Groggily, he tries to sit up, but freezes halfway – if he moves, he’ll wake up Keith. Keith is the Universe’s lightest sleeper, other than Shiro, and he needs all the rest he can get these days.

Also, after last night.

Carefully, he tries to extricate Keith’s arms from around his arm, but it’s a futile mission, and when Keith’s nose wrinkles and his fingers twitch, Shiro backs off. Hm. Well...he doesn’t really need his right arm. Right? He has lots of meetings today, but those don’t require having two arms.

Currently, Keith requires the arm a lot more. A lot more. It definitely has nothing to do with how appallingly adorable Keith looks curled up against it, cheek smushed against the warm metal, ruffled hair soft against Shiro’s finger sensors when they curl through it…

Come to think of it, he might as well test this thing’s control radius. He latches onto the solid excuse, kisses Keith on the head, and gets ready for the day, petting Keith’s hair from the other room while he makes a pot of coffee.

When he’s putting on his shoes, he freezes at the sudden and unmistakable sensation of someone kissing his palm, then nuzzling into it, followed by the soft vibrations of continuing snores.

Shiro muffles his garbled sound into his palm. Keith. Just kissed. His hand. In his sleep.

Shiro thinks he might cry. This is the best day of his life.

Iverson gives him an earful again, but Shiro’s too busy savoring the sensation of Keith’s soft, warm face cradled in his hand half a mile away to hear a single word. 

[dreaming-of-assclass]

Oooooo if 3-E were supernatural creatures who would be what 👀👀👀

Oooohh this is interesting to think about! I’m sorry, I don’t know a lot haha so I did some research to have more options!!

Karma: Demon

I feel like I don’t need to elaborate on this too much lmao. The boy is mischievous, LOVES to mess with mortals for no reason. When he’s feeling a particularly strong emotion, usually rage, excitement, etc, his eyes glow a shade of yellow-gold (like what canon showed)

Isogai: Demi-God

His crazy perfection in everything has to come from somewhere. His father was a God who left his realm and lost his immortality to be with Isogai’s mother, a mortal. Isogai only became aware of his heritage after his father’s passing.

Okajima: Half-Angel

LMAO I mostly picked this for the irony, but it kinda fits ngl. He’s generally a good, loyal, kind person and a very good friend. His perverted nature is his one big flaw and comes from the influence of his mortal father, who was his main guardian since his mother remained on Heaven.

Okano: Werewolf

I’m gonna credit this one to @greengargouille haha. They made a wonderful post about this idea that I still adore with my whole heart. But yeah, Okano being a badass werewolf with crazy athleticism and defying femininity expectations? Yes please.

Okuda: Witch

She excels in potion-making, of course. She comes from a long line of witches and magic-users in her family. So she feels quite a bit of pressure to be successful. She’s very talented but needs a tad bit more of control in her magic.

Kataoka: Mermaid

This one shouldn’t be a surprise haha. She’s a very strong and powerful swimmer...but where does all that raw talent come from? Surprise, Megu is a mermaid and she can transform between her physical forms at will. She loves the water because it’s her home and what she knows best.

Kayano: Part-Phoenix

I don’t know how this works and how someone can be part-Phoenix lmao, but it fits her way too well. A being that goes out in flames and starts a new life...isn’t that basically what Kayano did after her reveal? Her new life is her going by Akari again and showing her true colors to the class.

Kanzaki: Goddess

She’s apart of a very royal family of gods...all with ridiculously high standards and little respect for her. Kanzaki is very powerful and has so much raw potential but she’s never been able to show it. Her best skills are teleportation, invisibility, and a strong grasp on aerokinesis.

Kimura: Centaur

I’m serious about this one lmao. He’s a very fast runner and impresses everyone, and it’s thanks to his strong physique and raw energy in centaur form. Don’t worry, he can shape-shift back to a human form, but he hates it because he loses his height and is back to being 160 cm.

Kurahashi: Fairy

Of course, this bright, sunny, cheerful sweet girl could only be a fairy. She has a very strong connection to nature and wildlife, to the point that if they’re harmed, she feels the pain. Her wings are very tiny at age 14 can easily hide underneath her clothes. But by adulthood, they’re grown and able to use for flight.

Nagisa: Half-Ghoul

Surprise...this soft boy is actually half-evil :’). His father is actually a ghoul, and Nagisa was very much unaware of it for all his life. Hiromi kept it a secret and tried to suppress that part of him too. Basically I imagine what it means for Nagisa is that death draws him, and his physiology is why he has such a high bloodlust. When he’s pushed to his limits, he’s terrifying... (cough Takaoka cough)

Sugaya: Wizard

He comes from a relatively average line of wizards, who all moved to the mortal realm and own artisan businesses. Sugaya wishes to do something similar and follow his passion for art. He mostly uses his magic for that, levitating his brushes, enhancing his work, creating new things. He’s quite talented at conjuring.

Sugino: Angel

Yes, I’m serious about this. Sugino is a very good person and always strives to lead others down the right path. He’s good at guiding, but even he wants to live for himself for once. So he learns what baseball is and grows a strong love for it.

Takebayashi: Wizard

Unlike Sugaya, he comes from a super prestigious line of successful and powerful wizards. His family is one of the top ones. He feels immense pressure to live up to them. His talents lie in fire magic, particularly creating explosions. And he’s a very skilled healer.

Chiba: Half-Dragon

Fitting considering his name 💜 He has the ability to change between his human and dragon form, but it’s very shaky for now. His eyes are a bright, terrifying shade of red, and it exposes his dragon heritage so he must hide it.

Terasaka: Half-Titan

His Titan physiology is the reason for his raw strength and physical prowess. He’s incredibly strong and has a high endurance, durability, stamina... He’s a talented fighter and will always use his advantage to protect his loved ones.

Nakamura: Siren

She hates being a siren so much. She has to deal with boring mortal guys all the time, who for some reason, love her voice. She gets a real kick out of fooling them though, and the pranks are always chaotic. Since she’s been having to sing and use her voice, she’s gotten the chance to learn many languages. She has an affinity for them, and wants to continue learning more.

Hazama: Witch

I know this is a little cliche. But in contrast to the potion-centered Okuda, Hazama excels in linguistic spells. She keeps a journal of every new one she learns, as well as images of herbs and such. She’s very interested in dark arts, but will only indulge in it with the presence of someone else, to make sure she doesn’t fall too deep.

Hayami: Witch

Wow I’m really repeating so many. Hayami is a very hardworking, talented witch. But she’s so focused on helping others, she tends to get taken advantage of unfortunately. She’s best at transfigurations, altering things to her (and others) liking. Her favorite test subject is Okajima. She’s quite talented in hand-to-hand combat and having kinetic vision, which helps in magic. She wants a cat as a familiar so badly.

Hara: Fairy

Hara says “fuck you” to the idea that fairies are traditionally small and frail. She’s proud of her physique and strength, and her interest in fighting. She’s still the sweetest fairy there could be, always looking after everyone and all of nature. She loves cooking and sharing it with as many people as she can find.

Fuwa: Ghost

Yep our crazy, lively Fuwa is a ghost! Specifically, she’s a poltergeist, the kind who try to create mischief in some way and move things around. The reason why Fuwa is kinda wild and open about her passions is so she can be noticed by people...if her presence isn’t being acknowledged, she loses her physical form and goes back to being a transparent spirit. It isn’t all bad though. Her favorite thing to do is read mangas in ghost form, so all people see is a floating copy of One Piece.

Maehara: Vampire

This one is a little cliche lmao, but he’s a vampire playboy who always ends up accidentally turning his girlfriends into vampires too with his bites. No one ever suspects him of being a vampire since he looks like sunshine incarnate. He’s quite reckless and has come close to being exposed multiple times, and Isogai always scolds him.

Mimura: Elf

Poor boy is a little insecure about being an Elf...he tries his best not to stand out, especially given his dad’s love for the spotlight. He is good at basic magic, slightly above average. His best talent and what he excels at is photokinesis. He uses it on his filming hobby, to change what’s on camera, adjust lighting, etc. He can go as far as even completely remove shadows from the sunlight.

Muramatsu: Alchemist

He comes from a relatively average family of alchemists that used their abilities for culinary purposes. He enjoys it a lot, and is very talented. He prefers to rely on physical prowess when it comes to fights, but is able to use his alchemy additionally.

Yada: Vampire

Yada is the hot vampire girlfriend we all wish we had 😔 Just kidding haha. But yes, she’s a vampire and no one would ever expect it with how good she is at hiding. She plans out her life and days to specifically avoid sunlight, garlic, etc. She’s a very busy member of the school community and has tons of friends and connections. She and Maehara, her fellow vampire, constantly compete to see who can get more dates.

Yoshida: Werewolf

This is slightly cliche since he’s the resident bad boy, but it fits. He tries to keep a tough image even in human form partly since his family taught him to do so, and because it is comfortable for him. But he’s a softie deep down, and is nowhere near as ruthless as he’s believed to be.

Ritsu: Magic Mirror?

Hmm this is kind of the only option I see fitting for her as it correlates to her role in canon. One classmate has to carry the mirror around for her to communicate, but she’s very powerful and helpful.

Itona: Mummy

Ok so storyline here: he was abandoned to die by his family centuries ago, and his 13 body was mummified against his will. In present time, Shiro awakens him, revives him, and uses him as a tool. He goes through a lot...but is able to live a peaceful life with 3-E once all that is over. He wears bandages almost everywhere, only exposing his eyes which glow yellow when he’s using his power.

Bonus:

Gakushuu is a Demi-God, of course. He’s pretty annoyed that his elemental magic only extends to hydrokinesis and cryokinesis, but he’s still amazingly talented.

Ren is a Merman who flirts with girls at the beach with sappy poetry. He’s gotten caught in a fisher net too many times.

Seo is an Ogre.

If you're reading this, then that means you've forced your way into my bedroom and discovered that I'm no longer in it. It means that you found my computer, and noticed that I left something behind for you. I'm sorry that I couldn't leave something bigger, better, worth your time and effort, but I'm not very good in that area. I don't know how to be... enough."

Why don't you see me?

When Lance was a little boy, he was never noticed. He was invisible. So lance made up a game! It usually went like this: “Mom, (insert utterly ridiculous statement here), goodbye!” “Ok honey, be careful.” And then silence It went on like that for years, at least until he was accepted into the Garrison at the age of 14. The Cuban got his 15 minutes of fame, and then he was sent off. Now, Lance finds the same things happening, so he changes the rules just a bit to make things a bit more…. Physical.

Inessential    

“Gotcha,” Lance breathed as he hit the target dead center. He wasn’t called their sharpshooter for nothing and he aimed to keep that title.

He took another deep breath, closing one eye and lining up to hit the next target when a sharp, stabbing pain erupted in his gut, knocking the wind out of him and causing him to fire off to the side, missing it completely.

“So you think I deserve to be happy?”

“Yes! Lance, that’s all I want for you.”

“Then why did you break up with me?”

“I told you, I-”

“Because you made me so happy, Keith. You made me the happiest I’ve ever been in my life. I didn’t care that you didn’t want to cuddle a lot or talk about sappy shit. I didn’t care that you didn’t like pda. All I cared about was being able to just be with you.”

“I like you”

This isn’t how Keith planned on spending his Friday night, chilling in on a couch playing Mario Cart with one of his closest friends. Not like this, with Lance’s face beet red and looking at him straight in the eyes..

Looking for... Something. He don’t know what. But it’s something he can’t give.

Just a Joke    

“I think I’m going to kill myself,” he announced. “I know that finals are a stressful time, but that doesn’t mean you should joke about something like that,” Shiro scolded mildly.

Lance’s chest tightened and he forced a smile.  

"Yeah, you're right. Poor joke."

Happier

Lance can't just stay and watch Keith move on. It's selfish, he knows, but he isn't strong enough to stay. Solitude doesn't hold anymore charms for Keith now, not since Lance. And especially not since their break-up but why can't he find someone who wants him back? What does it take to be happier?

Panic Attack    

Keith made sure Lance didn’t know how much of a difference he made in his life. Lance didn’t need to know that he was the only thing that made Keith happy, he didn’t need to know that the days they had class together were always his favorites, he didn’t need to know Lance made him feel like he could finally be better, be normal, for once. No, Lance didn’t need that presure. But then one day Keith goes to class and Lance completely ignores him, and maybe he should have told him after all.

Lance was having a hard enough time in English without being distracted by the gorgeous boy sitting next to him. Keith. Smart, shy, but still completely badass. And Lance had it bad for him. When he starts failing the class Lance decides he needs to pay more attention to Professor Coran instead of Mr. Mullet Man. After all what could go wrong, he would pay attention to him again after he started passing. Right?

Of Heroes and Hellfire    

It started with a house fire.

Which, admittedly, made things sound a hell of a lot more dramatic then they actually were. Lance had seen plenty of house fires these past few months.

He was a firefighter, after all.

But then again, the fire wasn't the part that was out of the ordinary. That was Keith, or what he learned the name of the infuriating yet attractive policeman at the scene was.

Because that was the first time they met.

Lance wanted to save people, so he became a firefighter. Keith wanted to save people, so he became a police officer. This is the story of how they fall in love.

i have so many gripes for my boy about voltron in general, and obviously many from s8. 

black. first of all, why did they want to kill shiro off? after the entire first 2 seasons of him earning black’s trust and respect, of him building that deep connection ( and its significant, you can see that in his battle with zarkon ) only to violently rip that from him only 2 seasons in? why. why do all that work only to fucking trash it in the end? because that was their goal. make shiro want and want black so bad, then pull it only for keith to get that in less than half the time? it was easy for keith. or maybe that just was the plan all along and shiro had to fight for that trust because he was never meant to have it to begin with ( which now makes me incredibly sad to think about ). and don’t get me wrong, i love keith so much more than this might let on, and i do think he’s worthy to be black paladin.  but goddamnit shiro worked so hard to be black paladin and it amounted to nothing ( until fans were upset enough that higher ups literally told them to find a way to bring him back ). and then after they bring shiro back, it was literally to keep his soul within black. they made it so that black literally kept shiro’s essence alive within themselves. WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THAT IF BLACK WASN’T TO BE HIS, AND TO DESTROY HIS BOND BY SAYING IT NO LONGER EXISTS. shiro literally meant jack diddly in the end to enough people that s8 completely destroyed his character.

sendak. as stated, i love keith with all of my heart. i have no doubts that his love for shiro, platonic or otherwise, would drive him to do everything he could for shiro. but why, whywhywhy did the writers take away sendak’s death and give it to keith? we get it. you’re just beating a dead horse at this point with keith’s constant ability to save shiro from life and death situations. his love has been made known. we been knew for 6 seasons. but goddamn, can shiro have some form of autonomy when it comes to his own life? can he be anything unless keith is saving him? is this purposeful because shiro was keith’s driving force for his garrison life? is this what happens when a character is brought back when they weren’t supposed to? i have no doubts that shiro is forever grateful for all that keith does for him. but everything that has happened to shiro, every villain who has taken away his choice when it comes to his own person, HIS OWN BODY; shiro was never given closure for that ( except maybe when it came to zarkon ). this isn’t about revenge for me. this is about shiro finally getting the control of his own life that could have been presented to him. he literally fought and fought sendak only to fall from a ship and be left exposed on the ground? for keith to jump out of black to strike him down personally? which is so extra vld, so fucking extra. and it hurt me. it hurt me personally that keith took the weight of sendak’s death and shiro was left to watch once more as someone else had that control over his life.

keith. ok so maybe this piece is about keith more than anything but, shiro literally loves this man. idfc what anyone has to say about it. he loves keith and that should have been said, by shiro, to keith. it should have. fucking. after everything they’ve been through keith deserved to hear that. i know it’s common knowledge through actions that these two mean something significant to the other, but goddam. after everything that boy did for shiro, he deserved to hear, out loud, that someone loves him so much they would go to death’s door for him in return. the point of this is that shiro was also robbed of returning keith’s feelings. idec if it was to be platonic, i literally don’t fucking care after the fuckery of s8, but shiro’s character deserved to show keith some measure of the same devotion he was shown. because you can’t tell he wouldn’t have. you can’t tell me that shiro wouldn’t have given keith love in return.

shiro. what the fuck even is s8? admittedly, i enjoyed the purpose of what s8 was supposed to represent. but like so many others, everything that was omitted killed the season. allura’s death killed the season. lotor’s dismissal and torture killed the season. shiro as a prop? killed the season. where was the depth to s8? was it actually supposed to end at s8, or was that rushed for some other reason? i feel like so many things were cut out to pack the big war, the big battle, the big sacrifice into 13 short episodes. shiro has no purpose in the show anymore, after making him the reason of the show for so many seasons. i’m sorry, my bias will show, and i will defend that voltron easily became about shiro and keith in the end, and that was threatening to some people and it was completely omitted in s8. but shiro amounted to nothing in s8, even removing keith from the situation. becoming one with the atlas? shrug. having connections with the paladins? shrug. spending time with those paladins at a fuckin carnival? shrug. yes, yes i firmly believe that the sunset belonged to shiro and it was the perfect moment for shiro to actually express his gratitude and love for keith. because shiro would have known where to find keith, not lance. i’m not even sorry for how ship biased that makes me sound. lmao, also, that little stupid credit end is a load of bullshit because shiro fought for the stars for his entire life and they just took that from him like it meant nothing for 7 seasons. leaves his ex for the stars? check. survives being champion? check. wants to be paladin so much he fights for black’s acceptance? check. his clone, which embodies shiro, wants nothing more than to be a paladin no matter what? check. him getting married to a nobody and settling on earth? ??? who tf wrote this ending?

anyway, i’m fucking disappointed in vld s8, and i refuse to acknowledge it as canon. i will literally rewrite everything for myself. lotor will have his redemption, allura will save him just like she saved lance and shiro, honerva will die for her choices, and her death alone will be enough to end the realities being destroyed. allura will live, and yeah, she’ll probably be with lotor because it ended in that progression anyway ( i love a//urance a lot but her connection with lotor progressed into something that moved away from a//urance ), shiro will show, and tell keith that he loves him in return, keith will still give the blade the purpose of restoring what the war destroyed, pidge hunk and lance will be the trio together coming full circle, lance will actually be given the development he deserved and not be consumed by allura??, coran will be so sappy crying sad that allura literally gets to live out her life and he gets to see it happen, team earth squad will have their moments, hunk will revisit shay, pidge will actually find the olkarion, matt will keep the ponytail and live with his robot ‘friend’, lotor will get to bring about the change that he meant for ( obviously did not make the greatest choices in how to get there, but it’ll happen and he deserves to see it happen ), and shiro will travel the galaxies, living a full life doing exactly what he dreamed of for years.

Random facts: let’s limit this to five--

I CAN’T BIKE. i mean i know how to ride a bike. i ride bikes well! but i don’t know... how to... stop. i always crash. I’M A DISASTER.

since people only started calling me ‘Ali’ after college and at my first job, whenever someone i knew BEFORE that calls me ‘Ali’, i get whiplash and i’m like... shook... like... dude... who’s Ali?

usually people don’t like listening to music with lyrics when they code or write, but i HAVE to be singing words while coding or writing.

i am eldest of five siblings, but i usually feel like i have six younger sibs, instead of four, bc of two cousins live next door but are always in our house anyway.

i wasn’t comfy wearing dresses and skirts until third year college, i always felt like i’m not the type to wear them, and i didn’t have the confidence to be ~cute~. ‘till my best friend said i should wear a skirt on our movie date (it’s a trade-off, in exchange he shall shave his ugly goatee that i hated) and so i wore a skirt and holy shit i have seen the light, my thighs are free and they’re comfy and after that i finally let myself love and wear skirts and dresses and typically girlier stuff. :D

Anyways! This has gone long enough! I’m not gonna tag but feel free to do this @anyone who wants to because they’re fun to answer!

You may think this is some random bullshit, but actually is some klance analysis

So after s7 of voltron I can see why people is angry at the allurance, adam’s death and stuff. I didn´t like the forced allurance interactions, mostly because of Allura, becuase Allura has grown up in all the seasons she is not the fragile little princess anymore, and when he confronts the truth about Lotor’s real feelings, she hurt but she decided to do something instead of being a heartbreak mess. Which leads me to the allurance. If you are giving her determination, courage and capacity to be independent emotionally speaking, why would you throw her to a fragile emotional puppy seaking out for Lance EVERY GODDANM EPISODE. Dont get me worng, I think is an interesting dynamic that Allura is confused and still healing, cuz I mean she really liked lotor even if everything was a lie. The whole thing wrecked her and I get that she is trying to compensate her emotions with Lance honest affection. Wich is really dark and sick but in a good way, because it could help to develop both Lance and Allura’s characters.

Now, moving onto Lance, his crush with Allura was obvius since the first episode, so his affection going stronger in every season is not a surprise. But also his relationships with other characters changed in a good way, and I think that should not be forgotten, just because some a big fat crush.

First of all Shiro, since the very begining Lance has tried to make himself look awesome infront of Shiro, looking for his aproval. And being the awesome space dad he is (U HAD ONE JOB DREAMWORKS) Shiro acknowledges Lance development, even though things get a little rough between them when Keith’s gone. But they got really close ins a mature and fraternal way, to the point that Lance was the first one to notice Shiro’s consciousness living inside voltron. So what I’m really trying to say is that Shiro is a great influence in Lance.

Which leads me now to Adamm’s death, ok I know most of the people hated it and feel offended by it. But seeing how voltron has developed, adam's death is not just a meaningless death. Also some people think he is alive, which can be or can’t be true, idk, I’ll just focus on the fact there is a missing Adam in Shiro’s life.

And that’s the important part I’m getting Shiro is missing the love of his life, he is no longer with him and he can’t do anything about it. And when he could, he choose his desires over him. (which is totally fine cuz nobody knew he was going to be kidnapped and had his arm chopped) But that’s what I’m getting he didn´t know, so it was easy to put in a second thought his relationship with Adam. Until he is back to earth he realizes that even if he is a paladin, a great leader and survived lots lots of shit, Adam didn’t, and no matter how great Shiro is he can’t go back (at least of what we know who knows if vld crew pull some strange shit and oh look adam is back)

It is there the great leasson Shiro is going to teach to Lance. To show him he needs to be honest with himself before is too late. That Lance doesn’t have to make the same mistakes as him. That Lance is going to really regret it one day if he doesn´t realize what he really needs and WHO really needs. And that is ok to get what he wants but not forgetting who he loves.

Who that might be? I really think it could be Keith (it can be any other person, we don’t know maybe out of nowwhere is Kinkade or Griffin or SHIRO?!?!?) But being honest the big shot here is Keith. Because even after all that lance and keith neck and neck stuff, they start to understand each other and not in a sappy way (wich for me makes thing  more interesting cuz is not that obvius of a plot)

Because even in season one Lance is anxious of not being good enough not just compared to Keith but compared to anyone. And the one who gives him reasurance is Keith, even if other members acknowledge him, Lance seeks Keith out to talk about what is going on with him. Also Lance accept the fact that Keith is the leader now and will do what it takes to support him. And also that Lance  is the one who brings Keith back to earth when he’s impulsive when Shiro is gone, and they start to trusth each other because they need to. And I think what I like the most is that they may start developing feelings for each other because the respect and admiration they have. And that’s good, not your usual teenage angts love story, just some space dorks trying to figure each other out while fighting giants. Cuz come on who doesn’t like giant robots.

Sorry if this is really obvious for some people, I just enter to the voltron hell a month ago, so there is a lot that I don’t know, but yeah there are some thoughts about klance.

A Very Merry Voltron Valentines! ft Shiro

A/N this was the first drabbled/fic I had written with valentines in mind and gave me the idea to do something for all the paladins! Its got a special place in my heart because of it so enjoy :D

You couldn’t think of anyone you loved more than Shiro. And with that love came the acceptance that sometimes things with him weren’t … traditionally romantic. That wasn’t to say he didn’t have his moments of course, he honestly really did try the sweet man. Of course a lot of the sweet moments you could remember: candle lit dinners, extraordinary views of meteor showers, dancing at extravagant balls were all really thanks to the rest of team Voltron. They all had a real knack for forcing Shiro into being your prince charming. Reminiscing on those thoughts made you smile as you were washing dishes, humming along quietly to the music playing faintly in the background.

“Huh not your usual genre, don’t tell me you’re going soft on me,” Shiro chuckled as he walked into the kitchen carrying a load of laundry on his hip. He stopped and tilted his head to the side as if trying to listen better “I thought maybe it was just a weird shuffle but this is definitely the third love song I’ve heard. What’s the special occasion?” he asked, taking a seat at the table as he started to fold clothes.

You couldn’t help but scoff a little, rolling your eyes at his obtuseness. It wasn’t everyone’s dream to be doing all the chores the night before Valentine’s Day. “Just feeling like a change is all honey. Some people don’t listen to the same music since they were in high school, it’s called variety” you teased, patting your hands dry. You supposed you could have mentioned what tomorrow was, asked if maybe you guys should do something but decided against it. You hadn’t really been expecting much and why potentially make him feel bad for not planning something for a day he obviously wasn’t into. Besides there wasn’t much better present than being back on Earth with him.

“Plus there’s a ton that we missed while you were off saving the universe. It’s worth giving some of it a listen,” you said kissing his cheek, stealing a clean towel from his stack. You clicked the music on your phone off and gave him a gentle pat on his cheek “But I’m going to call it an early night. I haven’t gotten to the bathroom yet but hey gotta have something to look forward to right?” you said trying to keep your tone as casual as possible before taking your leave.

Just as you got to the entry way of the kitchen Shiro’s voice stopped you. “We,” he said staring at you intensely, the look only slightly dulled by the fact he was holding a pair of his underwear. “We saved the universe … just uh don’t forget that ok?” he finished with a blush and clearing his throat as he tossed the boxers aside.

You couldn’t help but smile at him. “We … I do like the sound of that,” you said before heading towards the stairs shaking your head, sometimes he could just be the cutest dork.

~*~

You stayed true to your word and went to bed early, hoping right into bed after your shower. Only taking the time to wonder what was keeping Shiro before drifting into sleep. You hated to admit it but you were only really going to bed so early so that you could hurry up and get through tomorrow. It wasn’t right to try and force Shiro into celebrating the holiday but it would still sting a little bit when you received nothing but tile cleaner. So the quicker it could come and go the sooner you could get back to your happy peaceful life with him.

Yet the early alarm you had set never came. Instead of waking up to the ringing of rather annoying bells you woke up feeling a heavy shift in the bed and then your bare shoulders peppered with kisses. You smiled into your pillow and forced your eyes to remain shut a little bit longer. You loved when Shiro was affectionate but it was rare enough that you wanted to soak it in for a few more minutes, afraid if you opened your eyes you might just scare him off. You couldn’t ignore it much longer though when he was running his scratchy stubble along your cheek, whispering in your ear “Morning beautiful time to wake up.”

You yawned, butterflies starting to hatch in your stomach as you blinked open your eyes. “You’re going to spoil me waking me up this way Shiro,” you said grinning, stretching your arms so that you could wrap them around his neck. He smiled back, closing the gap between you effortlessly to capture your lips in the same tenderness he had been showing your shoulders.

“I think that you deserve to be spoiled a bit. Especially today,” he said, his chest swelling to match the pride in his voice. You couldn’t do much more than stare at him blankly, not nearly awake enough to understand why he was talking so sweetly. A thought of Lance and written cue cards danced across your mind before you remembered you weren’t in the castle. When you didn’t immediately answer his smile faltered a little bit and he gulped “D-don’t you want to know why?”

“Well yes but I know that waking up someone while they are sleepwalking is dangerous. I didn’t want to risk that this was some crazy sleep sweet talking,” you said finally pushing yourself up, your brain now starting to function at a more normal level as the smell of coffee wafted over to you. You were expecting maybe a couple of mugs of the stuff to be waiting for you on the nightstand, what you weren’t expecting (in this or any dimension) was a full breakfast spread ready for you on the bench at the foot of your bed. “Oh Shiro!” you gasped bringing your hands to your mouth.

“Happy Valentines Day!” he said smiling brightly, his arms folded over his chest as he looked down at his buffet nodding approvingly at his own work. “At first I thought it was kind of sad that you forgot about it but then I thought that it was a good stroke of luck cause it meant that all my surprises got to be even better,” he started to ramble before he was cut off by your laughter. Now it was his turn to look at you blankly “Wait whats so funny?”

“Shiro I didn’t forget about Valentines,” you said rubbing at your eyes before leaning against him with a happy sigh, the kind that only comes after a belly aching laugh. “Sweetheart I just didn’t mention it because well … it didn’t seem like your kind of thing honestly. You never really were the one for traditional romance and well this day is all about cheesey lovey sappy stuff so I just figured I wouldn’t try to put the pressure on you to come up with something. Just being with you is enough for me any day,” you said reaching up to run your fingers through his hair.

He caught your hand and kissed it and cradled it between his own. “You have to give me some credit for not really doing this stuff before y/n. I was fighting a war … in space!” he said with wide eyes as if he still didn’t quite believe it. He powered through it though and leaned his forehead against yours “But here I have nothing to worry about except you and you deserve all the romance I didn’t give you at the beginning of our relationship,” he said, his breath hot against your skin and words warming your heart.

Your own words failed you so instead you did what seemed most fitting; you threw yourself into his lap and kissed him as hard as you could. In the end you were both coming up for breath and his whole face was dusted pink. “You are the most amazing man I have met on any world Takashi Shirogane,” you said breathlessly before pulling back to grin at him “and you have a lot of making up to do.”

18. Do you use any tools, like worksheets or outlines?

i definitely outline, but usually not very intensively and i deviate a lot from the original plans while writing lmao

37. Talk about your current wips.

oh god well the first one and probably the closest to being published is the stupid frat au sequel...ive been really thirsty lately, so dont worry, keith gives shiro his number and they continue going to Bone Town for the rest of their lives and get married one day becAUSE THATS WHAT I BELIEVE IN AS A WRITER

i also have another smut fic in the works that’s also about sheith on their honeymoon cause i’m the weakest person alive. i just wanted to write one very specific kink that i havent seen enough of in this fandom and it got sappy. can’t figure out a title for it, usually i’m very good with titles since theyre all named after songs and music inspires me

and the big one is the sequel to i told the moon, i think it’s like 18k now? “light carries on endlessly, even after death” lmao is it really sheith if the lyrics to saturn don’t apply......but it’s giving me trouble in some sense bc i have a very specific vision for it, so i end up calling hannah a lot to talk me down from thinking i’ve completely lost my mind...but yeah i don’t want to give too much away about the plot bc it’s probably not what people are expecting but is the actual contribution i wanted to make to this fandom when i started writing for it. i’m filling the fanfic gap in my soul ok.

[riskeith]

i couldn’t stop smiling reading your last message i’m literally so happy atm. you’re so cute and i’m SO happy. i reread it three times and giggled so loud my brother asked why i was laughing... 🥺 he’s in the next freaking room 🥺

sappiness aside: YES!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE? i wish i could give my luck to you as you deserve it much more ): it’s true but it’s still important if you wanna do well in combat sadly haha dhdydbjdnd like you said it’s very inconvenient to have a unbalanced team but i decided that i’m just gonna switch around with the characters i have when it’s needed yk? they’re all mostly around the same levels so it works fine rn.. or it will until i have to focus on who i want to focus on ascending when i get to higher levels bc payments and materials and all.. sigh there’s so much to think about with too many cute characters... anyway how many rolls have you done since you started playing? do you remember?

OH???? is it easier on pc? i’ve always enjoyed smaller consoles tbh (like switch or even phone) bc it’s easier to focus so it wasn’t that difficult for me. but like you said it might just be a ‘getting used to it’ thing. also now that you’ve seen both; which differences are there in the game? are you gonna have two different accs?

i did restart it from the first ep!!! i figured i might as well get the ~full~ experience. it’s been a while too so it’s like a new experience but not rly? it’s like traveling back to your home country and you’re like wow... i belong here even if i’m not here all the time dhsjsjdhfh bad example but you know what i mean?i’ll keep you updated! rn i’m at training camp part of s1 and it’s great!!! just having a blast tbh. needed this especially now that school is back... :(

i guess we are talking about voltron in 20fucking21. i don’t know if i love that for us or not.... (our honeymoon can be whenever you want babe pick a date and i’m There 😏)

pls unrequited love is soo good. it hurts but it’s good too? haha, maybe if one has experiences with it it just hits different yk? but i’m with you—watching voltron i always always had the headcanon that keith first started to feel smth for lance in the ‘we did it’ scene and actually thought ‘i’m in love’ during the black lion scene. like the proof is all there... s8 and the sunset scene just proves his longlasting feelings nobody can tell me otherwise. keith is the type to cherish the people he loves a lot because he barely has anyone and that means putting their happiness above anything else and lance’s happiness was allura for a while and he just... accepted that despite yearning . god . i always think about is bittersweet smile while having his speech. it’s like; i know that you’re great and you should know that you’re great too and if she can’t see it she doesn’t deserve you.

you freaking out over the leave the math to pidge scene... losing my fucking mind. girl they’re literally in love fuckinf crying 😭😭😭😭😭 they depend on each other SO much like the show runners always push the ‘hunk and lance bffs’ agenda ok sure but in the show hunk was never there for lance the same way keith was. they just eased each other’s anxieties without having any expectations on each other at all? yet they surpassed all of them. the other was just.. there. always. remember the ‘we all miss shiro’ scene too???? the entire team looked at lance and wanted him to step up!!!!!! like HELLO??????? and the second lance spoke keith just calmed down... kill me now. if that doesn’t show much trust and appriciation and respect there was between them idk what does. and the fact that the others know that despite their differences they still need each other just..... yeah. *cries*

YOU SHOULD YOU SHOULD YOU SHOULD YOU SHOULD. i get you tho klance is just... comfort ship but the ship that leaves you depressed too. i’m sure you could still write them perfectly but i’m absolutely in no way pressuring you at all you truly don’t have to if you can’t. i know how hard it can be to write when the motivation is just not there... :/ anyway idk what i’d prompt i just love your fics babe hsjdhdjdjdk. that’s so boring of me to say help but everything you write i love so.. surprise me? i can’t believe you have a final klance fic tho that sounds so sad.... ): i’m curious what it’s about but maybe it’s better to keep it hush hush.. hm?

i hope you’ve slept well!! you make me so happy!! kisses! xxxxxx

FHSJFKDS that makes /me/ so happy to hear!!! i was sitting on my bed smiling like a FOOL reading this ahahahaha. and soz to your brother but what can i say 🤪🤪

nooooo im so glad you got a 5 star already pls it’s fine im just gonna use all my primogems on xiao banner and it’ll end up okay fhskjdfds. yeah just switching charas in when needed totally works too! it’s just annoying when you accidentally get caught up in combat and it’s just ‘oop im level 1 against level 50′ AHAH. (tho i guess you won’t run into that issue yet?) honestly yeah there’s so much to do with the characters like ascending, constellations, talents, weapons, it’s just like.. what do i do first.... and who..... afhdskjfhsjf sometimes i just want to use character bc pretty and that should be enough 😔

hmmmm for the character event banner I believe i’m at 60 or 70 rn? so i’m reaaaally close to pity which is why when xiao comes 🙏🙏🙏 and for the standard banner i have no idea, maybe 40? so yeahhhh LOL... i keep saying this (and i better not be jinxing it BUT) im hoping it’ll all pay off...... i hope it’s all been building up for xiao... c6 xiao.. come home FHDKSJHDS

i definitely prefer it on PC! controls aside i just like the bigger screen tbh (my laptop is 15″). mostly the differences are the controls/buttons! since you can’t hold down multiple buttons at once on mobile, they’ve got more to cover all the functions (pc doesn’t have an extra dash button, we just right click or press shift; if we’re in the air i think one of the buttons turns into the drop down/plunge, rather than showing like 3 on mobile? i can’t remember precisely but yeahhh; there’s also the joystick on the left side of the screen on mobile that obviously isn’t there on pc bc we have the keyboard. it’s also harder to move the camera around whilst doing things on mobile i feel?) 

and nah i don’t think i’ll make another acc, esp since i’ve gotten so far into game already but i did definitely think about it as a possibility ahahah (bc of my bad luck... i was wondering if i did a reroll (second) acc i might be able to get diluc FJKHSKDFS)

omg it feels like coming home what a good description 😩😩 haikyuu is just such a fun warm experience! legit so comforting and light-hearted but also get deep when it needs to be. oh yes training camp <33 gosh they were so young then :’) HAHAAH. and noooooo school has started up for you again? rip i wish you the best of luck 😔💪

maybe 2k21 is the year of revisiting old things...... god voltron ended in 2018 can you BELIEVE that (😏😏😏 i was gonna mention playing genshin co-op together (even back when you first started) HAAHAH but i assume you play in europe server? im asia rip 😥)

WE DID IT WE ARE A GOOD TEAM!! THE FUCKING PURPLE AROUND THEM!!!! THE SMILEEEE OH MY GOD THE BONDING MOMENT THE. fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk every time you mentioned a single line or scene im just. all the memories come flooding back fhdsfkhsdjf. hang on a second.. they are red and blue.... the scene was purple... surely i knew this back then but im thinking about it now and?????/ oh my god

the sunset scene!!!!!!!!!! that is Peak pining keith unrequited love and pain scene... my goodness. “that means putting their happiness above anything else” NOOOOOOOOOOO you are so right tho 😭😭😭😭😭 please keith deserves the univerise <333 :((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( the fact that lance seeked him out for that too.. just like old times.. “you can sure be a hard guy to find when you wanna be huh” the way i still remember that ugh they really were my everything 😔

YES!! like they pushed the whole lance+hunk+pidge thing but then in the actual show had hunk+pidge treat lance like shit and belittle him so often?? like ?????????? (once again where fanon saves us 😩) and oh my god yeah.. when everyone turned to him and lance like walked up to keith and then said all that.. we actually had so many moments?? god. *cries with you*

speaking of shiro.. s06e05 the black paladins!!! “shiro.. please.. you’re my brother.. i love you..” “just let go, keith” 😭😭 keith suffered so much AND FOR WHAT my god i miss him so much oh no

FSHFKJDS “surprise me” the only reason im asking is bc i have no ideas!!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭 but i shall think.. (and if you want to think and help me out too.. 👐) & i’ve actually posted about that final fic a lot! LMAO that’s how you know i know i’m never gonna finish fdskhfksjd but in case you do wanna see, here are some links: one, two, three

thank you!! i stayed up to 4am like an idiot LOL but i swear today.... and same 😭 im so so happy to have met you 🥰❣ muah! xoxoxox

[messy-voltron]

Ooh, I'm the first one here! Ok... if you do headcanons, can you write something about the Paladins at the Zoo w/ their S/O? Thks!

Thank you so much for this head canon! I’ve been thinking about writing something like this for a while, but I’m glad you gave me the push to actually write it! 

Shiro

This boy loves the zoo! He loves seeing all of the unique animals, but he loves seeing you happy the most

Probably a first date idea for him, so asking you out was probably the scariest thing he’s ever done

“what if they don’t like me? what if they think I’m weird?!” 

When he asks you out, he’s so stuttery and nervous you almost feel bad, but it’s actually super cute

His favorite thing is being able to feed the animals, eSPECIALLY when you hold his hand while doing it he is a dead man you’re so precious to him

The both of you will probably spend the whole day there with no regrets you may be tired and sweaty but you’ll be together and honestly that’s all that matters 

And of course this gentlemen kisses your hand before you leave; it’s soft and gentle and it feels like a permanent tattoo because you’ll never be able to forget about it 

Keith

When you two go to the zoo, you are most likely to ask him because that boy can’t handle his feelings very well and he likes you so much that he’s too afraid to ask

But as soon as you ask it’s an automatic yes, no questions about it

Keith loves spending time with you, but isn’t a very affectionate person himself, so he secretly enjoys it when you grab his hand as you lead him around so you two don’t get lost

His favorite exhibit is the hippopotamus one hands down he could sit there for hours and be content, which makes you like him that much more

“Why hippos?” “Why not?! Have you seen them? They’re spectacular.”

By the end of the day the both of you are just sappy lovers at a zoo it’s so gross it would have you aww and throw up at the same time 

Lance

If this boy is going to take you anywhere, it’s an aquarium, which is still technically a zoo, but for salty animals

When he asks you out, he tries to use a really terrible pick up line, but it just makes you cringe and laugh. But if you’re really honest with yourself, you love his pick up lines

“Are you an octopus? Cause you octopi my thoughts~ Water you doing later? Wanna hang loose at the aquarium?” “Oh god Lance…..I’ll go…..but please…just….stop”

It’s a blast of course and you two go to see an orca whale performance, only to be splashed because Lance wanted to sit as close as possible. He’s a good gentlemen though as he offers you his coat to wear that wasn’t affected by the slash zone

Once you guys go to the shark exhibit, he gets all starry eyed and looks at them in wonder, and you can’t help but to stare at him.

He loves to hold your hand!!! Lean on his shoulder when you sit next to him!!! He’ll just melt!!!

Once it’s over, he’ll gain an ounce of confidence and kiss you on the cheek, but starts to get scared when you react by just staring at him in shock. That’s only because you’re so flustered you froze you guys will laugh about this later

Hunk

Ugh, my bOI he loves going to the zoo with someone special (hint: that special person is you)

No matter what exhibit you go to, all of the animals seem to want to get close to him and it confuses him to no ends. But you love it because of how sweetly he talks to each and every animal

You don’t remember who offered to go through the creepy crawler exhibit, but here you guys are, scared out of your minds. And although Hunk’s scared, be doesn’t mind putting on a brave face as you cling on to him for dear life he loves it when you cling on to him but he will never admit it

‘Hunk, they’re trying to get me through the glass!” “Don’t worry I’ve got you! Just hold on!”

Once out, you decide that food might be a good option and he could’t agree more. The two of you eat until it’s hard to move, so you call it a day, but it was one of the best days you’ll make sure to remember, especially when he kisses you’re cheek before you leave 

Pidge

Pidge tries to be confident and cool, but when she asks you if you want to go it’s just a jumble of words thrown together

“Hey, I heard you like animals, do you want a zoo? No wait, I mean do you want to go to my zoo? Wait- that’s not- I don’t have a zoo i mean-” “I would love to go to the zoo with you.”

She’s such a nerd because she brings a small notebook to do observational notes and sketches but you love to see the way her mind works on paper

Throughout the exhibits, she’ll randomly point out facts about certain animals and sometimes it’s hard to tell if she’s making it up, reading off the signs, or actually knows a cool fact

“Did you know that that species of bird is most known for their mating calls because they can produce a frequency high enough to kill a human?” “Really?!” “No, but wouldn’t that be cool?”

 When you guys get something to eat, Pidge almost gets into a fight with a squirrel because it steals some of her french fries and you have to be the giggling mess holding her back from killing any wild life. It works out in the end though because the staff gives the both of you more french fries because of how hilariously angry Pidge got

As the zoo starts shut down, she yet again becomes a stuttery mess when she asks if it would be ok to give you a quick kiss you say yes almost immediately gosh dang you’re so ready but she chickens out at the last second by kissing your nose instead, but it was still worth it 100%

[pininqkeith]

what happens after they both figure it out??? do they pine they definitely pine but??? more hcs please? i love you

i love you too dear anon this is for you

i’m not sure entirely how it would first go, but i imagine they’re laying around and keith is really intensely playing with lance’s fingers (like really intensely he looks like he’s trying to x-ray vision them u ok there buddy?) 

and lance is just watching him and it hits him full force his heart literally starts aching and he just pulls his hand away 

keith is confused for a second and kind of like :’( until lance cradles his jaw and says in a slightly trembling voice “can i kiss you right now?” 

the answer is yes 

they try to hide it for a while because they’re afraid it might mess up the team dynamic 

except they try hiding it by not touching each other as much,, which is when they realize how much they were touching each other and they’re both like “how did we even go this long without realizing?” 

shiro eventually asks if something is wrong between them because he notices they’re standing apart a lot (on a separate note have you noticed how often these two are standing next to each other in canon it’s like they’re drawn to each other i’m fjdsal;k)  

keith, smooth as ever, just blurts out “I KISSED HIM” 

shiro is a little surprised but he just smiles softly and is like “that’s great, keith. i already thought you had, though?”

keith: did EVERYONE know except us???  

they’re teenagers you know,, so they’re always all over each other

keith’s hair is literally always a mess

sometimes it’s braided but it half falls apart because lance can’t stop running his hands through his hair when they’re kissing

keith, mumbling into lance’s mouth: you’re ruining your work 

lance: worth it 

someone knocks on the door once and they scramble to put their shirts on and open it like “hey, nothing interesting happening here!” except,, they’re wearing the wrong shirts,, a mess 

or,, hunk, peering at keith’s neck very closely: dude, what are those purple marks? are you ok? they look like bruises? 

keith, flustered and tugging at his collar: NOTHING IT S NOTHING just my… galra genes!!! yeah!! my galra-ness kicking in!! you know how it is!! 

lance unabashedly flirting over the coms

they’re literally so sappy and cheesy all the time. they’re that couple that has an entire conversation using eye contact and forgets to explain what’s going on to the rest of the team  

lance pretty much moves in keith’s bedroom. keith pretty much steals all his shirts and doesn’t have to feel guilty about it anymore (he had like 5 already and when lance finds them he won’t leave him alone about it) 

thank youu 

[eledritch]

For the character headcanon ask, I'd like to know what you think about all six paladins (b/c, why exclude Allura now?) and 1, 4, 5, 7, 11, 14, 18, and 20. Sorry it looks a bit on the long side.

hooo boy ok let’s do this:

1. Their physical weak spots

Shiro: where his arm was amputated/his entire right side to some degree, though he does a good job of hiding it

Keith: his chest, since he’s smaller if he was hit head-on he’d go down faster. also his neck, i dont have an explanation for this other than keith being choked is. well it’s something.

Allura: nowhere. she is Impenetrable and Mighty (jk jk probably her hair? she’s got a lot of that, if you got a big handful and yanked it would be a) unexpected and b) painful for her)

Lance: his legs, he’s got a lot of them haha, and being a fast runner doesn’t matter if your legs get hit

Hunk: head, probably, he’s so focused on his core strength that I think he pays less attention to his noggin’s safety

Pidge: Face/eyes, it would hurt like hell if Pidge’s glasses got shattered. yikes, as a fellow glasses wearer i’m cringing just thinking about it

4. Best places to kiss on their body

S: scars and chest/nipples, im sorry was this supposed to be innocent kissing? is innocent nipple kissing a thing, sure, let’s go with that

K: neck. definitely neck. also forehead kisses

A: mouth, cheek, hands, nape of neck

L: hips, inner thighs, forehead, cheek

H: tummy, mouth, shoulders, cheek, head

P: nose!! also cheek and hands

5. Guilty pleasures

S: watching The Notebook (and other sappy romance movies). he will forever deny it, but he cries every time

K: snuggling. keith is super clingy and snuggly when he sleeps but pretends he’s completely unaware of it. also, fingering himself lmaoo this was ALMOST innocent sORRY

A: she would totally be the kind of person who watches dozens and dozens of Internet marriage proposals/cute boyfriend/girlfriend tag videos and just gets so much secondhand happiness from it

L: obsessively cleaning ears with q-tips. apparently ur not supposed to do this but fuck that, lance does (and so do i)

H: MUSICALS. HUNK LOVES MUSICALS FIGHT ME

P: POPPING PIMPLES YOU KNOW PIDGE SO WOULD

7. Their tickle spots

S: tummy!!

K: armpits and back of neck

A: Alteans don’t get ticklish. She’s just very confused and slightly offended.

L: feet and chest

H: EVERYWHERE

P: nobody knows, because nobody has tried, they like keeping their hands too much (but it’s everywhere, particularly right under her chin)

11. Bad or petty habits

S: drinking and/or consuming ridiculous amounts of chocolate/caffeine

K: picking at his skin and biting his nails

A: making the other paladins get up extra early for training if they’ve irritated her lately, using the electric maze thing if they pissed her off

L: leg bouncing, am i projecting onto lance, absolutely

H: adding extra salt to people’s food/food goo if they’ve pissed him off lately

P: compulsively checking and rechecking stats/info/the time, etc

14. Ingrained habits/forces of habit

S: sleeping on the floor/on hard surfaces and waking up early/at any sudden noise

K: talking to himself since he spent so much time alone, sometimes he just forgets

A: mentioning her dad/Altea in the present tense before quickly remembering he’s gone :((

L: skin care routines (and general impeccably cleanly hygiene). you can pry his clay masks away from his cold dead hands

H: stress eating. and maybe also forgetting to eat when he’s REALLY stressed

P: pretending to be a boy/lowering her voice/always staying fulling clothed

18. Things they’ll never admit

S: all the horrible things he was forced to do as the Champion

K: the reason why he was kicked out of the Garrison, or how close he was to just giving up everything after they gave him the boot

A: a part of her likes the idea of the Altean Empire. really likes it.

L: sooooo many things, like how he feels like a seventh wheel, how he’s always been jealous of keith, how he wishes he could go back home more than anything. but lance would probably say anything under enough pressure

H: I honestly cannot think of anything…Hunk is a pretty open book

P: she still considers leaving team voltron to find matt on her own and take him home

20. What-ifs/Alternate Timelines

S: well, we already got Sven, but I have several existing AUs where Shiro is an ex-Garrison commander (in this AU the Garrison is an organization kinda like Starfleet/the Federation), one where he’s Earth’s ambassador to the Galra, and one where he’s a faery hunter. also, I think it would be interesting if Shiro and Keith’s roles had been switched.

K: born and raised in the Galra Empire Keith, Blade of Marmora Keith, Galran Prince Keith, Galran Champion Keith

A: ALTEAN EMPIRE EMPRESS ALLURA, I’m also a huge fan of the human Allura AU, where her and Shiro’s places are switched

L: Altean (Prince) Lance is always fun, faery Lance is my current fav, bounty hunter Lance is a good concept i wish i saw more, evil/corrupted by the Galra Lance can be interesting to explore too

H: Balmeran Hunk ahhh!!! I’ve also grown really fond of the Galran Hunk aus, and wEREWOLF HUNK SIGN ME THE FUCK UP. 

P: whatever alien species Slav is…imagine Pidge as that. and cackle in delight with me. also, conspiracy theorist Pidge, astronaut Pidge, cryptid hunter Pidge, spy Pidge, I just love Pidge a lot any Pidge is a good Pidge

When They Wake Up Next To You

{g osh my body B U R N S for this request thank you and everything you’ve done ever}

This was a request from @alteaplier I had lost the original ask for it but it has finally been finished!! Hope you enjoy it may be a bit cheesy and sappy but I L I V E for that ~~~~~~~~~~~ [Shiro]

•you and him totally fell asleep holding one another, but your back is against his (godly) chest

•when he wakes up and rubs his crusty eyelids and can actually see you clearly, he’s already setting up a thanksgiving dinner just for an excuse to thank whoever is up there something extra

•it’s only now does he realize he’s awake really early, probably around 2 or 3AM

•it’s only when he feels how sticky he is with sweat and how he’s breathing quite heavily does he realize he woke up from a nightmare that he’s glad he forgot

•and that’s also when he realizes that you’re face and just the fact you are alive and well and breathing was the reason he forgot so quickly

is very hesitant to reach for your face because he feels that it may be a dream that you’re there, and when he touches you…

•you’ll disappear

•once he touches your cheek and nothing happens, he lets out a breath he didn’t realize he was holding and just laughs

•(oh go sh k i l l me) he leans in and kisses the top of your forehead and then light pulls you closer to him

•kinda feels like crying because you’re so pure and full of love and thinks you don’t deserve him because he feels he isn’t “to your standards” and is imperfect

•but then he swipes that from his mind because if he had said that out loud and you were awake to hear it you would probably smack the back of his head or start crying (+ a long lecture about why he’s perfect the way he is, even if he bites into ice cream) there’s no in between

•falls asleep easily and dreams of something a lot better than usual

[Lance]

•definitely woke up because you turned toward him

•opens his eyes and just smiles but not like a H U G E grin, just, a smile showing he is content and pleased and, happy. yeah, happy.

•the both of you are in his room in the castle, he’s facing toward the wall with his back to the window.

•the way the light pours in, and rests ever so gently upon your face absolutely blows him away

•you know those times when you just think, and realize wow, I’m actually seeing this with my own two eyes, I am living and breathing and my internal body can do wonders beyond the minds of others. That’s what’s happening.

•he’s seeing you, and truly you, in front of him, where your only worries are your dreams and whether they are good or bad

•just the way the light is on you, and his shoulder casts a shadow on it as well, makes him feel so breathtaken (that’s a word right?) and he has no idea why

•rubs his thumb against your cheek and just shuts his eyes slowly and takes it in. Your feel, your smell, everything.

•kisses your forehead, nose, cheeks, eyelids, eyebrows, that one very obvious freckle on your face that you clearly despise because of how obvious it is but he just loves it

•I’m getting sappy and I want to cry pls end me

•bruv you open your eyes at the right time and he just sees how beautiful your eyes are with the light on them like that and he just rolls onto his back

•goes “ok woah who gave you permission! Certainly not me!”

•God could he get used to this though.

[Keith]

•I feel like he wouldn’t have known you were sleeping with him in the first place

•he probably had some nightmare and you happened to be awake to hear it happening and your mom instincts came on and you went in his room right away

•his head was under your chin, so when he woke up he was really confused and gently pulled back

•sees you and is just so confused for several minutes

•like, “what? when did u get here? why?”

•100% believes he doesn’t deserve you

•although he believes that, he still cherishes you and doesn’t try to bring you down by telling you how he feels about your relationship with him

•I feel he’s the one to wake you up, whether it’s an accident or on purpose.

•maybe he pushes you lightly and whispers your name a few times and it’s all just so he could thank you politely and properly

•or he noticed how your hair was stuck under your eyelashes and your mouth and he has super short nails so he accidentally pinches you grabbing them

•totally laughs if that’s the case like I’ll fight you on this

•you: “keith ow wtf”

•keith: pffffffffttttttttfffffff

[Hunk]

•omg please my pure chil d I love him sm

•OKAY ALL THE OTHER ONES SO FAR ALL LIKE KISSES ON THE FACE BUT IMMA TELL YOU NOW THAT HUNK DOESNT DO JUST THAT

•holds your hands

•rubs his hands up the sides of your arms and on your waist

•just, gosh my breathing is slowing down and now its speeding up and I can see every math equation

•already knows he’s gonna make you some B O M B A S S b-fast and even if you don’t like it he’ll make it better!

•besides that, he almost cried and he’s just like “ohmygodjdbbd hhhhhhhhhffffff I love you”

•let’s say he has a camera on him, 99.9999999% chance he’ll take a photo of you no matter the flash

•you’ll probably wake up and be like ok tf

•he just looks at you, gently pulls you to him with his hand on the back of your head and kisses your forehead, then rests his own against it

••you’re probably blown away because he’s so wholesome and sweet especially so early in the morning where souls are still asleep

•tells you to go back to sleep

•if u do he’ll play with your hair and if you don’t he’ll play with your hair

•coran walks in at one point and hunk just fukcing stares him in the eyes and coran puts his hands up and backs out “ok ok ok ok ok o-”

[Pidge]

•as soon as I saw this request I had Pidge’s planned out RIGHT away

•ok so basically, pidge is designing a new robot that can help create fabrics and new clothes for everyone in the castle, for when they don’t have the time to borrow some from Coran or Allura or go to a Space Mall

•you watch as her brain works through everything and her fingers are moving so quickly as she pieced together each and every intricate part of the robot

•you end up falling asleep on her shoulder and she doesn’t realize until she herself starts drifting off so you both fall asleep against the side of her bed

•allura happens to be checking on you and asks Shiro to help the both of you into the bed

•when Pidge wakes up not only is she confused, she’s also worried

•you two had stayed up so late, that there’s no doubt it’s really late into the afternoon, but when she realizes it’s not, and she must’ve woke up randomly, she sighs in relief

•she kisses your forehead and just continues to look at you

•touch your face again? Never. she didn’t want to risk waking you, or stirring you to the point that you roll over

•everything was perfect, almost all stress was gone from her

•her last thought before falling asleep is “I hope we find Matt soon, alive and well, so he can meet the person that makes me truly feel and truly love.”

Prompts coming up your alley. How about a mutant or x men voltron universe. Where the team face prejudice, especially since he's blue

Ok, first off, YAAAASSSS XMEN AU! This will be more of just my ramblings than an actual fic, but god have I thought about this so much! Thank you for the ask!

So pretty much, Alfor would be pretty much professor Xavier, and Allura would be Storm, and having learn how to control her powers since a young age, she helps other mutants at the school. She hopes to be like her father and help the next generation of mutants find a home where they don’t have to hide. They own the Altean school for gifted children, and you can bet your ass that they go out and help recently discovered mutants find a home where they can be safe and learn how to control their powers.

One of their first students is Shiro, who can project sonic sound through his body ( arms, legs, etc.) he unfortunately lost his arm by accident when his powers appeared, as well as destroying his room. He was so scared of hurting anyone else that he pretty much went off the grid and just disappeared from life all together. How professor Alfor found him, Shiro could never figure out. But Alfor brings him to the school and gives him a special arm that would not only act like the real thing, but would help suppress his powers so that he can be out in public again and not fear losing control.

The next one to enter their school is actually Coran, a long time friend of Alfor’s who has always struggled with the fact that he’s a mutant. He hid it away, and put himself through his own experiments to try and suppress it, but eventually it all came to a halt when his ‘cure’ stopped working and his mutant gene took over. Thankfully, with the help of Alfor, Coran was able to regain himself but not his body, he’s in the body of a beast. But he doesn’t let me that get him down, he rather enjoys being able to hang from his feet while working and loves teaching the new mutants as well (yes I made Coran the Beast, but can you blame me?)

They found Hunk and Pidge together, as they went to the same school and were very good friends. When they both found out they were mutants, you can only guess how terrified as well as curious they were about it. Hunk can turn his body into an unbreakable metal and Pidge can talk to electronics and make them do what she asks. When Alfor and Allura came by to recruit them, they were both eager to learn all about this new side of them, as well as meet others like them. Their families ,however, had a bit of a harder time accepting that what was happening was actually happening. It took a lot of persuading and even a good rant from their children, but they finally accept the offer and let their kids go with them. Pidge will send pictures and little updates while she’s there to her family (she loves to prank everyone and take pictures in the middle of the act. She only sends those to her brother).

Next is Kolivan (yes I’m adding him because I love him) who is more well known to keep his distance and not to be tied down to one place. He’ll usually come and go, checking in with Alfor to make sure one of the few friends he hasn’t died on him. Kolivan………Kolivan is wolverine. There. I said it. He’s wolverine. But after doing this for so long, he finally stays as a resident of the manor. It’s hard to gain his trust, and he’s pretty set on doing things his way and his way only, but once you gain his trust he’s got your back no matter what.

Keith is one of the more harder cases that Alfor and the others are challenged with. Having been in the foster system most of his life, he never relied on anyone for anything. He only relied on himself, so when he found out about his powers, he just closed in even further, not wanting to let anyone know what was going on with him. He found out when he accidentally touched someone skin to skin, and got all of their memories, leaving the person unconscious. To say the least, he was freaked out. And when people started asking around about him and chasing him, it didn’t help at all. The only reason he even listened to Alfor and there others was because Keith had touched Shiro and gained his memories about how the school helped him with his own powers. Keith was very reluctant about trusting anyone, let alone let them get close. But after awhile he opened up slowly to the others.

And Last (but certainly never least) is Lance! Who Alfor personally brought from Cuba, where Lance was chased after more times than he can count because of his appearance. (Yes, that’s right, Lance is nightcrawler, and I’ll die before you take that away from me) and of course he is very self conscious, so much so that he literally hides any sort of skin when he arrives at the school. Allura and Shiro meet him first, as a way of helping Lance understand that he doesn’t have to hide anymore, not in the school. To say that Shiro and Allura were surprised to see a blue fuzzy boy with a tail and and three fingers and toes is a bit of an understatement, but they happily accept Lance as he looks and Lance actually starts tearing up because no one has ever shown him any type of acceptance before. Once he gets more accustomed to everyone and even especially after meeting Coran, Lance starts to show his true self, the fun loving teen who acts about too much like a kid sometimes (can you blame him though?) and everyone accepts him as he is.

Of course not everyone is so accepting, there is still a lot of prejudice against anyone like them, who are different and in the ,social opinion, 'wrong’. And it can get to a lot of them sometimes. But they know that they have somewhere to go where they don’t have to hide they’re abilities and their looks. A place where it’s ok to be different. A type of family no one can replace. (Sorry, I got kinda sappy there at the end)

A few other quirks here and there b/c why not! :

•Lance and Kolivan have a great friendship (mostly because Lance’s jokes actually make Kolivan laugh and the kid is nice company, and Kolivan’s cold exterior doesn’t faze Lance in the least, since he used to do the same thing)

•Haggar is mystique (bc my angsty ass is still in love with Haggar and Lance as family)

•and yes, Zarkon is pretty much magneto (probably not power wise, but in motivation wise, if that makes sense)

•of COURSE shenanigans are happening all the time! Lance and Pidge team up to prank people, Allura doesn’t take to kindly to this and chaos ensues. Always.

•Coran pretty much adopting Lance as his own without him really knowing. Like everyone else knows, even Lance (though he doesn’t mind at all) but if you point it out to Coran, he’ll deny it.

That’s all I can think of right now, but GOD do I love this au, it just makes me smile from ear to ear to write this! Thank you thank you thank you for the prompt! I know it wasn’t a fic, but I hope you liked it anyways!

I... kinda wanna hear the klahnce tropes you hate...

ok since i can never resist a chance to Vent i’m gonna share them under a cut but first some disclaimers

1) honestly oh my god if somebody else likes or enjoys this stuff i dont care!!!! i really do not care!!!! as long as you aren’t shoving it in my face or claiming that any alternative interpretations are Wrong™, i really really do not mind!!!! people like different things and that’s okay!!!!!! my intention truly isn’t to make some 15 year old w a fluffy fantasy feel guilty just bc some random person on the internet doesnt like the way they do things kdsjgsjdgskjdg so pls read this w a grain of salt

2) i’m not even really that passionate in my dislike of these things bc it’s just shipping and it literally doesn’t matter at all so this is basically just a list of my preferences

phew ok here we go

the kind of k/l made by lovers of l@ngst that makes the whole story about lance, and him just needing to be reassured of how incredible he is 

this almost always has keith tenderly holding lance and saying something along the lines of “you are the most beautiful boy in the universe and i will never let you go :) i love you so much lance :) to me, you are each and every star in the sky :)”

KEITH WOULD NEVER SAY THAT WHAT THEUF CK

this bothers me bc the dynamic they are portraying is closer to h@nce, sh@nce, or even she!th. both hunk and shiro are kind and loving people who are quick to verbally reassure their friends. but keith, the way i read him, prefers action to speech. he has other ways of expressing how deeply he feels about someone without waxing poetic

please don’t make discount h@nce, make actual h@nce instead i beg of u

also ppl editing the “br0gan3s hug” replacing shiro with lance and now suddenly it’s romantic and not familial lmao… just admit that u love the beauty of s/k and its passionate star-crossed lovers bound by fate angle and stop projecting it onto k/l which is a different beast entirely

“keith and lance have been in love with one another all along/are in love with one another at this current point in canon”

ok while i do admit i can appreciate some cute pining-at-the-garrison fanart, this one bugs me bc if we just look at canon………  they don’t like each other. they just. they don’t.

there’s definitely an admiration-jealousy thing going on from lance’s side, but not an outright crush

and lets be real while i understand the appeal of a headcanon where keith has crushed on lance since forever………………….. in canon, he literally had no idea who he was

i dislike this bc to me it sounds far too much like a love at first sight kind of thing, where they had crushes on each other without even really knowing one another

the appeal of k/l for me is the potential for growth they have AFTER they’ve spent months in space working as a team and getting to know who the other person really is, beyond first impressions

two people who are incompatible at first, developing and maturing until they can see new sides to each other, learn to work with one another, and choose to put their differences aside so that they can be together? that’s much more romantic, at least to me.

the “keith and lance are in love and shiro and keith are brothers and also shiro is dating allura :)” clusterfuck that mostly died after the vague statement about allura’s age that gave antis a collective bout of hives

im not saying there are no good fics with this constellation but there are 392580968230698409683478 fics that copypasted this relationship matrix. it is a fanon thing but ppl started treating it like canon which always gets me a little squinty. also i’m not all that into s/a so there’s that

keith and lance getting married. this is entirely a personal thing but it’s my biggest fucking squick and i have an irrational hatred for it it just fucking bothers me so much NEVER talk to me about it

this includes kidfic it makes me feel almost ill

marriage/domesticity/kids is the opposite of a romantic fantasy for me and thinking about it makes me really uncomfortable

while im more ok with it with some other pairings, i just cant see it happening w keith and lance

this is also where i see them start to clash, with lance’s big family and probable love of tradition and keith’s orphan-loner lifestyle. they’d probably want very different things

and it’s really stressful for me to think about so i’d rather just not lol

basically just fucking miss me with them wearing rings or anything like that unless u want me to let out bloodcurdling screams for 8 consecutive hours

anything making them too soft, squishy and blushy. while i totally get why people want to look at this kind of content it makes me want to die

this is usually paired with “everyone else exists just to support their relationship”

i’ve also seen their rivalry reduced to “yeah but i love you more asswipe” “no i love YOU more” “umm excuse you i clearly love you the most :/” like… lmao pls stop this they’d still argue about exactly the same things as before

while they’d definitely tell each other i love you and be soft with each other, it’d be in quiet, private moments. ultimately, they aren’t a gross sappy couple… they just aren’t…… they’re those friends who argue a lot about inconsequential things but also kiss each other when they’re alone and would die for each other without hesitation but will Never admit it

okay phew i think those are my Top Shitty K/L Tropes, and from what i’ve heard there are a lot more like them being shoved into ridiculous yaoi archetypes (eg keith is a blushing flower of a sub instead of the vers power bottom we all know he Actually is) but since i read very little fic i’ve managed to avoid that stuff. sorry this turned into an essay lol this always happens
