James Griffin Headcanons

Shiro was James's hero growing up, he's the reason that James wanted to be a fighter pilot. So when Shiro went to visit his middle school James was star-struck.

This is why he held so much animosity towards Keith. Because his hero was paying attention to someone who, in his mind, had everything he didn't.

James was an unplanned child, his parents never really paid any mind to him unless they were pushing their unrealistic expectations onto him.

When he joined the Garrison he told his parents that he joined under their biology program instead of the fighter pilot program. When they found out (years later) they disowned him.

James, Ina, and Keith went to the same elementary and middle school. Though they weren't always in the same class.

His parents forced him to learn piano and violin growing up.

He hates nicknames, just call him by his real name.

James used to have a crush on Ina back in middle school; it's a secret he'll take to his grave. Ina knew.

He has Bipolar II, his hypomania episodes consist of racing thoughts, scattered focus, and an increase in impulsivity.

James was actually in a hypomanic state when he made that comment towards Keith.

His depressive episodes are much worse than his hypomanic ones, his longest one was three weeks long. It was after Keith had gotten kicked out of the Garrison.

He is ashamed of his mental illness and keeps it a secret close to his chest. He's afraid of being labeled/seen as “unstable,” and he doesn't want to burden others with his problems.

James has a very strong sense of justice, and this often gets him into trouble.

He and Keith were roommates at the Garrison. They fought consistently for half a year.

After Keith punched James, they both got in trouble (Keith for punching James and James for antagonizing Keith) and had to clean the cafeteria as punishment.

It was the first time Keith and James actually talked to each other as people rather than rivals.

Ok hivemind, let’s try this out. What instrument/instruments was James forced to learn?

I've always loved this part of "California Dreamin" it really resonates with me (religious trauma 💅🏻). So of course this makes me think of Catholic guilt James Griffin.

Giving Voltron Characters Weed: MFE Addition!

James Griffin

Keith introduced it to him while they were still at the Garrison. (For time's sake, I'm going to say this is after Keith and James made up from their fight and became friends.) They're both 17.

Very nervous about saying something stupid while under the influence.

He's hesitant about smoking it because it damages your lungs but Keith convinces him to try it bc it doesn't have any carcinogen byproducts.

LOSES CONTROL OF MOTOR SKILLS. Trying to open a bag of chips? Hand slips and smacks someone in the face. Trying to sneak into the kitchen for snacks? Tripping over his own feet and slamming into the wall.

Similar to Lance, he becomes very giggly and social. His walls fall down and he's much more open. Because of this he only smokes with people he trusts.

No longer the voice of reason when he's high, he's down to do all sorts of dumb shit.

James always made sure that, at least once a week, he and Keith could sneak off somewhere and have a private smoke sesh.

Ryan Kinkade

Usually a very stoic man, but get some cannabis in his system and he won't shut up.

The team has weekly movie nights to bond, and this is where he first tried it.

Blurts out movie trivia and facts. Also yells at the TV when the characters are doing something stupid.

“Did you know in the original Halloween you can see the wrench used on the fake hand when Micheal Myers’s breaks the cars window?”

Mister mistro! Though he mainly listens to movie soundtracks (what a nerd) he has multiple playlists to smoke to for whatever vibe the team is feeling at the moment.

Holds all the gear (papers, pipes, grinders etc.) for the team. When it’s smoking time he’s expected to bring it all.

Nadia Rizavi

Weed FIEND.

Has been smoking daily since she was 17.

Doesn't have her medical card so when the Garrison does drug tests she goes knocking.

Queen at hiding her stash.

When Ryan suggested a "movie night" (code for a smoke sesh) but realized they didn't have any weed Nadia was like "Come here".

She opens a secret compartment in her drawer Death Note style and there's just like 5 ounces sitting there.

Loves to dance to some of Kinkade’s playlist, specifically his R&B one.

Will smoke and do edibles at the same time.

Ina Leifsdottir

Had no idea the team was eating edibles.

So when she popped five gummies in her mouth the entire team was like :O

Poor girl had no idea what hit her.

Absolutely immobile, limbs heavy, palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti.

REALLY likes a body high but doesn't mind a head high as it makes her mind go quiet for once.

Catch her eating some of the most delicious food when she has the munchies.

“What do you have Ina?”

“Traditional Belgian waffle with sugar pearls!”

“Where did you even get that…”

She doesn’t really feel like she needs to mask her autism since she was always praised for the intelligence that came with it. But she really struggles in social situations. Weed helps her become less rigid and helps her come into her personality.

She doesn’t like to smoke because she coughs so hard she gags.
