This is very entertaining thank you

I’m now wondering how you make mashed potatoes

np!

Usually just with a bit of milk, butter, and salt (although we usually have some sort of gravy with it too (I don't even want to ask how yall actually eat them))

Thanks for the ask!! Now for you! Hunk, Allura, Slav, and Paladin :) :)

No prob, you seem like a really cool person, so I just had to ask you some of these! Also, sorry for the late answer, I just had to get to my laptop so it could be easier for me to write everything out! :)

Hunk (Do you know how to cook/bake?): No… unfortunately no. I’m actually so bad at cooking that it became an inside joke for everyone that knows me well. Like, they would ask me “Hey, can you cook something for dinner tonight? ;))” and I would answer “…You have the choice between a sandwich and a boiled egg.” Yes. I can only make… a boiled egg… and maybe also pasta (without sauce, just… pasta). At some point I tried making mashed potatoes… but the potatoes ended up being half-ready and half-uneatable, I messed up the part where I mash the hot potatoes and mix them with milk and butter by pouring them with cold water. Honestly, I had to make it in a hurry and didn’t check an actual recipe even once while cooking, my patience ran out and I just improvised.

However I really want to learn how to cook/bake! Especially after watching seasons of cooking shows and Hunk’s amazing cook skills! I love food and cooking is an useful life skill to have anyways. Plus, every time I got to make something and eat it myself, it felt somewhat more delicious because I put effort into it.

Allura (What would be the first thing you do if you wake up after 10,000 years?): It really depends on how I wake up, whether someone is around me or not and whether I’m in a familiar place or not. But in the end, my focus will be to get more information on what’s going on, how everything has changed, why I remained alive for so long, etc. It’s hard to act when you lack vital information such as the year and past events. Will the internet even exist? If yes, in the same form as now? Are most shows of my time saved in it? Could I watch them? Because if I fall asleep for 10,000 years right now, I would have to check what happens next in Voltron or think about it for as long as I remember it. So, in short 1. Find information and 2. Finish any series that would be probably completed then.

Slav (What are your ships? No discourse allowed.): First off, like you, I want to start with… This blog is completely ship free outside of this post, headcanons are platonic, reblogged fanart is platonic or could be easily interpreted as platonic, meta is character based/world building/non-shippy at all. But, I have my own ships that I either call OTP, enjoy the fanwork, Brotps, some “why the quiznak are you shipping this” ships and some that I… don’t really like outside of AUs (and even then, I’m kinda iffy on them).

*prepares to be attacked by toxic fans or something*

*inhales*

Okay, so… My OTP is Shallura. Their interactions in canon are damn cool, I like the dynamic, they’re just so cute together, I’d love it to become official canon couple. For their ages, I’ve accepted that if Allura is really a teenager, she would be at least 18-19, because she acts a lot more mature than the others. You could tell me that she was forced to be more mature than expected because of her circumstances, but that doesn’t really matter. She’s mature. Besides that, my other true OTP is Zargar/Zarnerva. Even though their love doomed the universe, it’s obvious that they cared for each other… or at least Zarkon cared for Honerva/Haggar. He did something so dumb to save her, isn’t this sweet? And the last one is Hunay (Hunk x Shay)! They’re just… so sweet… in general… I love them. It’s a plus that this ship name sounds like honey, which is sweet like them.

Other ships I simply enjoy, but won’t care if they become canon or not, are Klance (fun dynamic, though I won’t be mad if they remain only bros), Sheith (the dynamic is nice here as well, the fanwork is enjoyable, they are however another ship that would be cool as brotp as well), Shance (with Lance Shiro could actually relax a bit, isn’t this awesome? fanwork is pretty amazing too!), Hidge (or… Punk… the two geniuses, the smallest and biggest together… I actually wanted to ship them when I watched the first episode, but their platonic relationship is good by itself), Kidge (really nice ship that I almost always forget, rip, but it has the potential to become a good relationship!)… 

And my NOTPs or… this is a strong word, more like “No, thanks” ships are… Shidge and Kallura. Nothing against shippers of both. But Shidge just… doesn’t sit right with me, even if we forget ages and age gaps. Their canon relationship resembles something like a big bro and lil sis, not something that can become romatic or, oh god, sexual. You’re free to get them in time skip AUs and change the canon relationship in your fanwork though, I won’t judge. For Kallura, they don’t seem close enough to ship them. Keith never showed interest in Allura, Allura at one point was openly racist to him. I don’t see it. Even though it was canon in the 80s. I. Don’t. See. It.

I’ll end this with some more… crackish… ships - Shlav and Svance. The first is just pure fun to imagine, for the second Sven jumped to save Lance, which is a plus. Not a lot of reasoning here, but it’s just crackish ships, I don’t have to justify THEM, right??

Maybe I forgot some ships, but if anyone wants my opinion on them, just ask and I’ll answer!

Paladin (When did you start watching Voltron?): It was actually pretty recently to be honest. If I’m not wrong, maybe the end of the second week of July this year. My friend had started it and recommended it to me and few other friends. I was one of the first to begin watching it back then. I didn’t have any expectations at all, I only knew that it was kinda sci-fi animated show. So episode 1. It hooked me right away. As far as I remember, I managed to like Shiro back then too. It ended and I wanted more. I watched the entire first season this night. IT ENDED ON THAT QUIZNAKING CLIFFHANGER, but I wanted to stop here, because it was 6-7am and I hadn’t slept, holy cow. On the next day, I finished the second season… which had bigger cliffhanger… great… Now, obsessed with this show, I rewatched it several times and waited somewhat patiently for season 3.

Fun facts though: The friend that recommended it to me in the first place isn’t really that obsessed with the show like me. And another friend spoiled to me that Pidge is a girl (he was 1-2 episodes ahead of me when we began watching). Then together with the spoiling friend, I pretty much spoiled the entirety of season 2 to friend number 3.

If someone wants more answers, Voltron meme here and/or ask some of your own questions, I don’t bite~
