Be careful who you piss off. A lion will protect their own without hesitation or mercy.

You asked for headcanons so;

• Lance has made it a personal mission to figure out what he can get the other paladins to sing w him (pidge= ensemble songs but as one-woman-shows, specifically he knows make a man out of you, bohemian rhapsody and this is Halloween, Hunk= duets after breaking him down through many attempts throughout their long time together as friends, shiro= doesn’t know yet, technically, cuz shiro does sing songs, but usually as a way to bond w pidge cuz their songs that Sam’s gotten them to listen to a bunch and lance claims he wants to find it out for himself w/o pidge’ help when it’s rly just so they can have smth special btwn the two of them on their own, Keith= purposefully resisted once he realised Lance shifted his repertoire to more pop-punk/emo stuff, but actually it’s anything from Disney movies made before the switch over to CGI… lance did get everyone to join in while singing teenage dirtbag once tho… it was awesome.)

• Lance actually only has one male relative from his generation of his huge ass family, a young cousin who looks up to him v v much…until said cousin meets Shiro that is…

• Hunk has a younger sister a couple yrs younger than pidge who rly likes dancing, they are each other’s biggest and first supporters when it comes to them reaching their dreams. She actually looks up to Pidge after meeting her, much to pidge’s initial surprise. Also she haa a purely aesthetic based crush on either Lance or Keith at one point but it fled the moment whoever it was, opened their mouth for the first time in front of her lol

• pidge is totally the name of the family dog

• pidge is v strict w which Disney princesses she actually likes. Cinderella, Tiana and ofc Mulan are at the top of her list, tho not in specific order. She does not appreciate princesses w no initiative.

• Keith actually really likes Snow White for some reason, even tho many hardcore Disney stans don’t even like her… she still can’t beat out his favourite… which is to no ones surprise, Mulan.

• he is also actually a giant Trekkie, has only had the chance to watch the first of the new movies but now appreciates Spock in that, way more than he did before,,, his appreciation for Chris Pine as Kirk has not dulled w time in the slightest

• Lance found out abt Keith being a Trekkie because lance yelled at him for being reckless and Keith’s only response was that he was a red shirt, so he can’t help it.

• Lance has sorted everyone on the team and all of their allies into their hogwarts houses. When asked, he says he’s a ravenclaw but tbh, he doesn’t believe he’s actually smart enough for it, even though if he were asked to explain the traits of the house, he would make a point to say being smart wasn’t enough.

• Lance is v protective of hufflepuffs even before he met Hunk, who he sees as being a bit of a ravenpuff hat stall.

• secretly all of the paladins are indepentally weaboos but only Lance&hunk and shiro&keith know abt each other. Until one day lance slips up and makes an ouran reference at pidge and every one of them gets it immediately cuz even though they all primarily stick to different genres, Ouran is one of the only ones they’ve ALL seen. (The others are all classics like cowboy bebop and NGE)

• everybody’s first “proper” anime was Sailor Moon.

• Super Smash Bros. mains: Keith: Marth, Metaknight and Link who he switches out for a lot so he can perfect playing as all three of them Hunk: Kirby, King DeDeDe and the Pokemon, but particularly Jigglypuff Lance: switches between every character, particularly jokey ones like Olimar and Mr. Game and Watch but is actually the best at Luigi and Peach. Shiro: mario, metaknight and Snake Pidge: characters that troll easily like Pit… also she’s a witch who can play the ice climbers unnaturally well.

•Overwatch Mains: Lance: McCree, Hanzo, Ana Keith: Genji, Hanzo, Pharah Hunk: Mercy, Lucio, Ana Pidge: originally Mei to troll ppl but switched to Sombra when she was released Shiro: soldier 76 around other paladins, but reaper when the only one around is Keith because he is always a tired dad but he can’t be edgy like he wants to be when he’s reaper when the other paladins are around.

The last couple I would still consider pg but toeing the line a bit: •Matt is actually super TMI w v little of a filter so he says things he prob shouldn’t a lot, Pidge simultaneously has a lot of blackmail and a lot of things she needs brain bleach for.
