Hey so I’ve been reading your Klance (and a little Hidge) content for years now but I’ve never actually watched vld. Would you recommend it for someone who likes ATLA and has a difficult time following series to the end?
Aha.... okay.
So I'm gonna be entirely honest- the more I watch series withbsatisfying ends and character arcs, the angrier I get at voltron. Dont get me wrong, it gave me characters to love and it was fun to follow and they have some good action scenes. I always said "If you watch, watch for the action and the family dynamics of the team. Dont watch for romance." But even in that respect, after watching She-Ra and watching ATLA for the first time, I wouldnt recommend voltron at all.
The characters dont get the arcs they deserve. They dont get the development they were built up for. The plot goes haywire after s6. They do the characters and their dynamics with each other dirty. Lots of loose ends.
So no. I dont recommend it. Especially after experiencing other shows, voltron really has nothing on. S 1-3 and maybe 4, it had the potential for SO much. (I'm honestly half tempted to rewrite the whole series after that bc there was so much that COULD HAVE happened and then didnt out of the creators' spite).
I still keep the characters close and I like weaving them into stories in alternate universes and my own plots. But the original content isnt great and doesnt give you what you want in terms of anything. In my opinion.

Hidge Week Day 1: Teamwork
“You ever think about the Garrison?” Lance wonders aloud from the floor of the cargo bay.
Both Pidge and Hunk sit at their desk and the chair respectively. Pidge typing away and Hunk fiddling with some contraption in his lap. Pidge says nothing but Hunk hums with a nod, just barely acknowledging the question.
“Hey, Pidge pass down the flaxenbolt-screwdriver?” Hunk says off hand and reaches up.
“Yup,” she says back. Still typing away with one hand she digs into a drawer and finds the tool. Then passes it off.
“Everything is so different now…” Lance sighs.
“Not really. Where’s the cymboler-cutter?” Hunk asks.
“In my bag,” Pidge answers and kicks over the backpack without looking. “Help yourself.”
“Where in there?”
“I dunno, just search until you find it,” Pidge shrugs dismissively. “Or shake it until it falls out.”
“You see! That’s so different!” Lance shoots up and points. “Pidge never would have let you into her bag, free reign when we were still on Earth! To dump her things onto the ground? She’s have bitten your hand! Like a territorial Chihuahua!”
They pause their respective activities for a second and think. That’s right. At the Garrison...Hunk was always getting yelled at for touching Pidges stuff or going through her things. She was very protective of it all. And Hunk...he never asked before going into other people’s stuff. Figured no one would mind if he was careful.
Pidge is still pretty territorial when it comes to her things but with Hunk she doesn’t mind so much anymore. And Hunk...well he always asks now. He’s very polite about it and respectful of her answers. And then they fell into a rhythm of being around each other. Pidge isn’t sure what to call what they have but it’s closer than she’s been with anyone.
Guess things really are different from the Garrison days. But in the best way.
“Found it,” Hunk says and puts all the other objects back inside. “There’s also an Olkari granola bar in here.”
“Oh yeah, I thought you might get hungry later,” Pidge tells him and extends one of her hands. “Break a piece off for me?”
Hunk nods and breaks it in half, handing it up. She takes it and shoves it into her mouth, half of it hanging out as she chews it slowly. Her hand reaches out again and pats Hunk on the head.
“Thanks, Hunk,” she says through her food.
“No problem,” he answers through his own mouthful of food. “I don’t think things are that different. We’re just a better team as a whole now.”
Lance can’t help but turn that perplexed look into a smile as he sees Pidge’s foot nudge gently against Hunk’s knee. Perhaps the whole of Voltron is a better team but the strongest team is sitting right before him, sharing a snack and their company with each other.

Was season 6 really that bad?
It really depends on who you ask. If you are a Lotor fan you might not like this season. If you are a sheith fan you might enjoy this season. However I’m both and I’m more along the lines of it was okay.... This might get very long but let me explain.
This was a very strong season. A ton of questions got answered, loose ends tied up, you know the whole shebang. But as for character arcs... some were told better than others... My main issue with Lotor’s character arc. Lotor is my favorite, he’s reminded me so much of Loki, a man with so much to prove, yet had terrible parent(s) that raised him. The thing is he developed into a morally gray character that you could sympathize with, only to do a complete 180, and turn insanely evil at the last second...
That hurt... a lot... but at the same time I’m conflicted because from the beginning, vld staff said that Lotor was a complex villain and I should have fucking seen that coming from a mile away but I drank my dumb bitch juice and look where it’s gotten me. Slightly bitter. But I don’t like the Azula comparisons. Azula was mean, cruel and ruthless from the get go. She had a pitiful but totally justified end to her arc. Lotor for me didn’t get that. *Sigh* but whatever... I’ll come to terms with it... maybe.
But one thing I’ll never say is that the vld staff are terrible writers just because things didn’t go the way I wanted it to. I’m talking about the /otura shippers lashing out at the al/urance shippers. It’s silly honestly stop it’s not worth fighting over.
One pro about this season is Keith and Shiro. Their character arcs were... perfect. The Shiro clone theory was fucking right. Although I am a bit sour about all those clones, what a waste. I also have a bone to pick with the vld writing staff... They promised that they weren’t going to kill Shiro, yet only the find out that the man has been dead for 3 THREE SEASONS!? I have trust issues enough already I don’t need the staff adding to that. Good thing Allura ex machina happened otherwise I don’t think I could go on.
And Keith! This was such a good season for him! Got to hang out with his mom, got a space wolfy, got older, got longer hair and hotter. All good things... mostly. That fight between him and Kuron, it was so good, tense yes but good. He’s so devoted to Shiro and he’s not afraid to tell him that he loved him, HE WAS SO READY TO RIDE AND DIE for Shiro. And that really touched my heart. It’s rare that you get to see a bond like that between two guys. I don’t really care if their relationship is platonic or romantic. As long as they are together, I’ll be content. However, fuck all y’all (negative nancy’s) let the sheith shippers have this! Let them have this moment, after all the bullshit they put up with, the harassment, the bullying, the false accusations. Fuck you, they deserve this one moment. You don’t have to like sheith, you just got to respect and leave people alone that do. Don’t be an asshole.
Those are the two main things I wanted to talk about... but other things about this season... Hm...
I never expected Romelle! She’s a sweetie! I love her! And I knew Acxa was ride or die for Lotor until.... you know...
Hunk got some really good moments I’m so proud of him. And tbh I want hidge to happen... I want it so bad!
Sendak was only in ONE EPISODE! WHAT THE FUCK!? I demand more!
Keith’s dad= DILF; Krolia= MILF
Lotor might become a rift monster... I kinda want to see that...
Keith and his Galra eyes. Good stuff
Lance being a good boy, and him crying over Shiro almost got me crying, like no baby boy it wasn’t your fault you didn’t know! (shance forever)
ALL OF THE DND EPISODE WAS GOOD.
And finally Haggar... Honerva... She’s dangerous. Especially now. She’s lost her husband, and now her son. She has nothing left to lose, and when you have nothing left to lose, people usually lash out and go to extremes. She’s a very dangerous antagonist, even more than Sendak. I’m scared of her. Very...
also as much as I like shipping, I’m convinced that vld canon couples are doomed to fail. They are either missing, dead or both. prove me wrong. Sam Holt doesn’t count because he was missing! so... now I don’t want any more couples to become canon atm....

Voltron: Legendary Defender paladin containing ships; reasons why people ship them and whether they would work out or not.
Allurance: Lance has confessed his love to Allura far too many times to count, he has supported and encouraged her, and their relationship development through the entire show is amazing. To the point where Allura finally begins to show a bit of mercy and affection towards our wonderful Blue Paladin. Their relationship would be beautiful and astounding if Allura took the time to notice how wonderful Lance really is. They would love each other so much, protect each oth at all costs, and encourage each other all the time. Of course, they would have some trust issues they would probably have to pull through first, seeing how Lance is very flirtatious. However, once he proved to her his loyalty, they would work out wonderfully.
My rating- 3/5 (Allura still has no interest or patience for him throughout the entire show. That’s the only reason I give them a 3/5)
Hallura: Hunk is the sweetest character in the entire show, no one can deny that. So it only makes sense why people would ship them. He’s kind and caring towards Allura and is delicate. She also reacts the same way towards him. They trust each other and never have any issues between one another throughout the seasons. The amount of care and mercy they have towards each other is astounding and would therefore make them a surprisingly great couple.
My rating- 4/5 (They lack bonding moments and both barely seem even remotely interested in each other. However, they would have a great relationship if they noticed each other in that manner. That’s why I give them a 4/5)
Hidge: Hunk and Pidge have been together since day one and have had a very great and well connected friendship. They often banter a lot and work together well. If had the chance, the friendship could easily bloom into something more. They even have the same interests and geek out quite a bit through the show and carefully display a well rounded friendly. Of course trust, care, communication, and defending one another would all be perks in their relationship.
My rating- 5/5 (The ship would work out amazingly if given the chance. I don’t personally ship them, but I respect and understand those who do. That’s why I give it a 5/5)
Hunay: Hunk and Shay were and are the sweetest people in the entire show. Put them together and it’s possibly the sweetest relationship! They have a lot of sweet bonding moments in the few episodes they were with each other and even ended it watching Shay’s first sunset together. Positively perfect, in most people’s opinion. They would be unconditionally patient, sacrificial, trusting, and caring towards one another- seeing how both seem to be looking for hearts of gold.
My rating- 4/5 (This ship would work out amazingly. However, they don’t really have any other moments except the few episodes where he’s freeing her. That’s the only reason I give their ship a 4/5)
Kallura: I must say that within the last few seasons, the chemistry between these two has been phenomenal. Their relationship went from nothing to something real fast, thanks to Keith’s Galra side. I really think that was the bonding moment for those two that really taught them both something. Eventually, Keith holds Allura in his arms briefly, they blow up a ship together, he cradles her in space and saves their rear ends, and they even hug. Their relationship development is something most writers strive for and is phenomenal. If they got together- which I dare say is a pretty big possibility with all the chemistry going on between them- they would be an unstoppable force to reckon with.
My rating- 5/5 (I have nothing to say except congratulations Kallura shippers on your ship’s development throughout the seasons. And yes, I may be a bit biased because I just found out about this ship and kinda ship it now, but whatever. I am honestly thoroughly impressed and that’s why I give it a 5/5)
Kidge: This ship’s development is also phenomenal to me. They went from yelling at each other in the beginning, to partners in crime real fast. They both are sassy and while Keith may be more reserved about it, Pidge certainly isn’t. Their friendship is funny to me and I think a lot of us- whether we ship it or not- would pay to see the snarky relationship they would have if they thought of each other as something more. Pft, and trust issues? Certainly none in this ship. They get each other and constantly hover around one another just in case the other needs back up.
My rating- 4/5 (Despite them having an awesome friendship, they still don’t have many bonding moments in the show. That’s the only reason I give them a 4/5)
Lotidge- Okay, I’m honestly genuinely confused on this one (my apologies dear Lotidge shippers), but I have no clue why anyone ships this. I’m sincerely curious as to where the idea sprouted up from in the first place and I don’t really know why people ship them. Maybe it’s their intelligence or their smart ass attitudes? I don’t know, but that’s honestly not enough for me. Reasoning for this ship is more than welcome so please comment if you ship them or have any idea why people do. I’m genuinely curious and feel bad I couldn’t find anything on this ship so I could elaborate.
My rating- 1/5 (Sorry guys)
Lotura: Alright, now this one I find interesting. They both are descendants of great empires that were once best friends. They both are completely bad ass and would make awesome companions if they ever became friends. Now, if they grew up together, they would be that feared duo that everyone would know not to mess with. Because not only are their mouths dangerous, but so is their strength and intelligence. Did I mention they both have scary dads? These two would punch you into the next century if need be. However, one thing that everyone would know is that despite them being feared royals, they would melt around each other. Towards one another, they’re soft and vulnerable.
My rating- 4/5 (I honestly don’t ship it, but I love this ship anyways. Congratulations to all of you geniuses who came up with it or just ship it. However, they don’t have any bonding moments whatsoever yet, so I can only give them a 4/5)
Mallura: We can all agree that Matt is hot and that his reaction to Allura is a priceless moment that we will all cherish. Not only that, but she blushed at his reaction. Rationally- because all fangirls and fanboys are totally rational- they would be awesome in combat together and would make a lovely couple. Not only that, but I think they would be very sweet towards each other. He would respect her and she would respect him. Pidge probably ships it too. The amount of care and love that goes into this relationship would be astounding. Oh, and if you ever meet one of their shippers, you would find that they’re genuinely nice people.
My rating- 4/5 (Can we get more bonding moments, please? Or just more moments of them in the same frame? Anyways, you know why I gave it a 4/5)
Plance/Lidge: These two were together since the beginning and are- in general- awesome. They have blushed at each other more than a few times in the show, have searched for money in a fountain so they could play video games, are best friends, Lance emerged from a coma just to protect her, she protected him, and they respect each other. They also are both THE definition of partners in crime and have the might of sass on their side. Trust may be a problem in the beginning, but these two would easily overcome it. They also put up with each other’s crap well- patience being one of this ship’s virtues- and would probably have one of the purest relationships.
My rating- 5/5 (They’ve had tons of bonding moments and are the best of friends. If given the chance, they would be an awesome couple. Anyways, this ship is a 5/5)
Shallura: This ship I think makes sense in everyone’s mind, even to the people who don’t ship them. These two work so well together, it’s actually hard to see why people would NOT ship them. They have had countless of bonding moments, they work amazingly together, they trust each other completely, and care deeply for one another. In fact, we even have given them the labels of Space Dad and Space Mom. The respect they have for one another is something we all could only dream of earning.
My rating- 5/5 (Bonding moments, check. Deep care for one another, check. Unending trust, check. Never ending respect, check. I may not personally ship it, but the Shallura ship has it all. Congratulations Shallura shippers, you earned your 5/5)
Shidge: This ship is kinda everyone’s first ship until they learn Pidge and Shiro’s ages. 15 and 25 is a bit big of an age gap. However, if you can get passed that and the father daughter relationship they seem to have, then you’ll love this ship. They’re bonding moments are phenomenal, trust is all there, encouragement is a constant between these two, unconditional care is a definite, and there friendship is wonderful. If the two got passed the point of friendship, then I think their relationship would be lovely.
My rating- 2/5 (I’m sorry for the low rating but a ten years difference is pretty big. They both are in different parts of their lives and it’s obvious that they won’t be getting passed the father/daughter relationship they have. Their bonding moments are a friendship and love that’s different. It’s a love and a friendship between a father and his daughter. To me, it seems kind of crude to ship the two. Sorry, I’m not usually this harsh on ships, but you guys only get a 2/5)
Hance: Hunk and Lance are obviously best friends. The garrison trio are awesome in general, but these two have been best friends since the literal beginning. They’re the only ones who are raw and have nothing to hide in front of each other. They never had anything to hide. They trust and care for each other and are always bantering back and forth. Can we talk about that time in the beginning of the show when Lance thought Hunk was dead because the cave had been blown up? Let the fluff begin...
My rating- 5/5 (They've had plenty of bonding moments, aren’t really argumentative, and understand each other completely. Congrats Hance shippers, you earned your 5/5)
Hatt: I get it. If you like Pidge and Hunk, then you’ll probably like Matt and Hunk. It is literally just the gay form of Hidge. You know, just with less bonding moments. Hunk would bring out the same things in Matt that he brings out in Pidge, and they’ve already been shown to get along great. In fact, their first moment together shows them geeking out.
My rating- 4/5 (Merely for the lack of bonding moments.)
Heith: These two were kinda neutral with each other since the beginning, but then the party came. I feel like they really hit it off there. Hunk brings out Keith’s smile and I feel like he’s delicate with him. Hunk is also very patient and we all know Keith would need plenty of patience. They’ve had plenty of bonding moments and work very well together- usually with little arguments as well. They would be adorable.
My rating- 5/5 (I have to admit, even though I don’t ship any gay ships- no offense to any of you lovely shippers or ships out there, it’s just not my thing- this ship is adorable. Y’all earned your 5/5)
Huntor: Sorry, but again, huh??? This ship confuses me, because it makes even less sense than Lotidge. I need reasons and answers, please. I honestly didn’t even know this ship existed until now and I can’t make heads or tails of it. Sorry, again, I apologize to all of you lovely Huntor shippers out there!
My rating- 1/5 (I think you guys get the picture.)
Katt: Again, I get it. It’s kinda like the gay form of Kidge? Except, Matt is a little more flirtatious as well which would probably annoy Keith a bit.
My rating- 2/5 (They would end up killing each other, no offense. They’re both headstrong, Keith would be annoyed by Matt’s flirting, and they’re honestly both kinda loners. Neither would really even try. I’m sorry, but they’re not very compatible. Matt is still different from Pidge and he would probably act more similar to Pidge around Hunk because Hunk would just bring that part out in him. Keith definitely wouldn’t. Sorry, but that makes me give this ship a 2/5)
Keitor: These two would probably actually hit it off. At first, they would HATE each other (classic). But then, once they got to know each other, they would realize they have a lot more in common than they think. They both are Galra, both of their parents aren’t there for either of them, they both are determined and live rather dangerously, also they would balance each other out. Keith with his moral values, and Lotor with lack there of. Also, just saying, but Lotor saved Keith’s life.
My rating- 4/5 (Since they’re lacking bonding moments or even moments when they’re in the same room together.)
Lancelot: Lance would HATE Lotor at first. They would argue and Lance would always point out how they can’t trust him and all that. However, eventually, I think they would get along. And I think it would happen when they have to go on a mission alone together and Lance would then quickly find out that Lotor is VERY seductive. Just imagine a tomato red Lance and a smirking Lotor and I think you got the picture of how their relationship would be. All in all: lots of sexual tension, Lotor would always offer Lance backhanded encouragement, and they would just know how to deal with each other, I think.
My rating- 3/5 (Of course, like usual, they lack screen time together. Also, it would be very hard for them to get passed their hatred for each other. Their personalities would definitely clash so that’s why I’m giving this a 3/5)
Latte- This ship is definitely an entertaining one. It would be that whole scenario where Lance and Matt would fight over Allura and then suddenly realize they love each other. There would be lots of flirting, encouragement, PDA, and probably a few trust issues. However, if they could get passed their hated for each other, then I think they would totally have a very lovely relationship. A funny one at that. Pidge ships it.
My rating- 4/5 (Their hatred for each other is something that would be a bit hard to overcome. Plus, they don’t have any bonding moments and they lack a whole lot of screen time. That’s why they get 4/5)
Shance: Lance has already stated that he looks up to Shiro, which is adorable. Shiro always has and I think always will be able to deal with Lance’s antics very well. He’s patient, even though he’s still like “Nope,” some of the time. However, he sees Lance’s potential. They both see the good in each other, but neither of them point it out because they think the other is secure enough to already know the fact. And maybe Shiro is, but we all know Lance isn’t. If they could really start talking, something would spark almost immediately. I’m sure of it. I completely understand why people ship these two.
My rating- 4/5 (They’re lacking conversation with each other, much less bonding moments. Sorry, guys. It’s a sad day for you poor Shance shippers. I feel you guys, and I wish I could give you more. However, for now, it’s a 4/5)
Sharkon: Okay guys, I’m just going to come out and say it. Even if Zarkon wasn’t bad, this ship wouldn’t work out. They’re WAY too similar in the fact that they’re too focused on the big picture rather than their feelings. Neither of them would notice each other, because neither of them are very emotional people when it comes to love. They need someone to bring that out in them and neither would do that for the other. Besides, now that Zarkon is bad, this would probably be a very abusive and sadistic relationship which is not something I support. I’m really sorry guys. I get why you ship them in the aspect of sexual tension and that they’re both similar. It’s just that they’re TOO similar.
My rating- 1/5 (Again, I apologize. You can ship it if you want, that’s fine with me. But thinking from a psychological stand point, I’m giving it a 1/5)
Shatt: These two were best friends from the beginning. They’ve trusted and cared for one another since they were in the garrison. They’d trained together, fought together, and Shiro was willing to risk his life so Matt wouldn’t have to fight when he was too weak. After that, Shiro was willing to help Pidge find him and his father. So, if Matt and Shiro got together, their relationship would consist of constant banter, lots of laughter, constant protection of the other, trust, encouragement- especially from Shiro’s end, and a relationship more like a super friendship. Just um, with a lot of sexual tension.
My rating- 5/5 (You Shatt shippers earned it.)
Sheith: This ship would hold all of the stuff that’s important in a relationship. Trust, encouragement, both are terrifying in battle, a softness none of us would be able to understand, good communication, and a love that’s both fierce and soft. They would protect each other until their dying breath (unless it meant risking Voltron) and the amount of care they would hold for each other would be overwhelming. If they thought past each other as brothers- seeing how they were with each other since the beginning- then they would have an amazing relationship.
My rating- 4/5 (Shiro has to get out of the brother zone. I understand why people ship them, even though I find it weird seeing how I can’t even get past them being only brothers to each other. But if you can, then good for you. However, that still gives them a 4/5)
Shendak: This is another one of those ships. I’m sorry guys, but this, if this became a thing, it would be sadistic and abusive. I have nothing else to say about it. I’m sorry.
My rating- 0/5
Shlav: I honestly didn’t know this ship existed until now, and I’m just gonna stop you right there and say no. I think it’s more of a joke, so it’s still a no.
My rating- 1/5 (I’m not giving it a zero. No way, I’m glad it exists because I’m laughing way too hard. Bless whoever made this ship a thing.)
Shotor: Shiro and Lotor? I need help now, because there’s gotta be a reason you guys ship this. I looked it up and got nothing but headcanons for how Lotor was the one that gave Shiro his scar (interesting by the way). So please, any information on this would be nice; however, psychologically this ship doesn’t make sense to me. Thinking about their canon attitudes and the way they react to certain things, they would constantly be silently wary of each other. Neither of them would say it and they would work with each other, but Shiro wouldn’t trust him for a single second and Lotor would know. Plus, Shiro isn’t exactly the romantic type so Lotor’s seductive behavior would simply come off as a threat. They wouldn’t get along. Anyways, I apologize to all of you Shotor shippers.
My rating- 0/5 (Again, I’m really sorry. You can still ship it if you want, of course.)
Zeith: So, if Zarkon was GOOD then this would actually be adorable. Imagine good Zarkon seeing tiny, human Keith for the first time. He would turn into a stuttering mess. Keith would be confused and probably a bit clueless, until Zarkon started visiting or asking for his presence more often. Then Zarkon would find out he was part Galra and he would find him even more wonderful. And we all know how Keith is delicate and tries not to overdo things and Zarkon would just LOVE that about him. Keith would begin to realize what’s going on and I think he would fall for Zarkon. Their relationship would be a proud one that holds awe striking power. People would probably fear to be their enemies; however, once the two are alone, they would melt for each other and I think that’s cute. So I understand why people ship this.
My rating- 3/5 (Sad part about this is that Zarkon is actually bad and he’s a lot- and I mean a LOT- older than Keith which makes it weird. So, since Zarkon is bad, it would probably end up in an abusive relationship where Keith dies, or it just would never happen. This leaves me giving it a 3/5)
Alluridge: Allura and Pidge have respect for each other. They’re both strong females who are beautiful and strong in two different ways. Allura is strong physically, while Pidge’s intelligence is her strength- Allura is tall and beautiful while Pidge is small and cute. They both care for each other and understand each other on a level that none of the guys could, seeing how they’re the only two females on the team. That leaves their relationship with a huge advantage of succeeding. Pidge and Allura already try to understand each other even when they can’t- they trust each other. They have plenty of bonding moments in the show and Allura is constantly showing her pride for the fifteen year old girl.
My rating- 5/5 (This ship is really positive and wonderful. Alluridge has definitely earned 5/5)
Klance: Lance and Keith have never gotten along very well, however, I wasn’t surprised when I got into the fandom and was overwhelmed by the ship. Nevertheless, I disagree with a lot of you. Yes, they have a bonding moment. One. That Lance still denies to this day. And so, when I began to look into this ship more, I realized they wouldn’t work out. They’re fights aren’t like the fights that build sexual tension between two characters. In fact, they’re quite the opposite. It’s an unhealthy anger they hold towards each other. Lance doesn’t like Keith for a reason and that reason is because he’s always compared negatively to him. Lance is never good enough in anyone’s eyes because of Keith, and for that reason, he hates him. So, in my opinion, if anyone kept comparing me negatively to a specific person, then I wouldn’t magically fall for them because of a single bonding moment. I would still hate them. And it’s not just a single person that keeps comparing Lance to Keith, it’s EVERYONE. And he wouldn’t be able to get passed that. I wouldn’t be able able to get passed that. Yeah, so he willingly stepped aside when Keith went to go take the Black Lion and even gave him a bit of a pep talk. So? Why wouldn’t he? Lance is smart and he knew it was best for the team, whether he liked it or not. And he knew he had to set aside his personal problems for the sake of the universe. I get why people ship them and it’s totally okay with me if you do, I just know that from a personal experience, it wouldn’t work out. No matter how much you had to work with a person you had to keep trying to be.
My rating- 1/5 (Sorry, Klance shippers. I really am, but I just can’t get passed how I personally relate to Lance in this way. And this personal experience has shed a new light on this ship for me. For canon and psychological reasons, I can only give it a 1/5)
Anyways, so that’s the end! Sorry I got so in depth at the end. Oh, and I’m sorry if you read through this and your ship didn’t get the comment and rating you wanted on it. Please tell me more about the ships I asked for, because some of them I asked for more info on. I hope you enjoyed this! Please tell me what your ships are down in the comments, or reblog and name your ship. I would like to know. Anyways, thanks again.

Director’s Commentary- Fragile Hearts, Pidge asks for the truth and first kisses
Ahhhh I miss this story so much and I love getting to talk about it!!!
When she swallowed again, her tongue was dry. “Hunk?”
He hummed and looked at her. “You alright?” Oh Hunk you oblivious gorgeous man you.
She nodded and thumbed through her book. “Um. It’s just- I read something in here and I wanted to ask you about it,” she managed to spit out.
He chuckled and tilted his head. “We lived through all that. What could you possibly have to ask about?”
“Well, it’s not something I would’ve been aware of,” she said. She opened the book and stared at the words, afraid to look up and lose her nerve. “It says you- or I guess, your character- um….” reading this right now make me want to reread the whole thing ahhhh
“What?” Hunk prodded, confused.
Pidge took a deep breath and laughed nervously.
Just spit it out. Spit it out. Spit. It. Ou- I like doing this thing where the narration may be in third person limited, but it can still have the character’s voice bleed through. In this case the spit it out is very much pidge thinking then cutting herself off because I wanted it to feel abrupt to the reader too.
“It says you had feelings for me at that time.”
She grimaced at her hands, feeling like she was drowning in the silence that ensued. To me, the panic of asking and the grimace stems a lot from the feeling of disbelief that he would like her. She tried to remember to breathe and managed to look up and see Hunk, frozen and shocked where he sat.
“Um…. I’m not sure if it’s just something Lance threw in for romantic purposes, or if it’s real, but…. I guess I kind of wanted to know from you. She was giving him an out to deny it, mostly because she also didn’t want to sound hopeful. If you… uh, liked me like that and when… yeah,” she finished lamely. She chewed on her lower lip and waited.
“Fucking Lance,” he muttered under his breath. HE VIOLATED THE BRO CODE. Hunk had no idea his crush would get into the books, and he’s really not surprised that Lance would have spent time on it because it’s LANCE and he’s just exasperated. “Can I… see?” She handed the book over and sat back, sitting on her hands. Hunk narrowed his eyes and then closed the book, chuckling into his hand. “Um… yeah. Yeah, that… that’s real. It wasn’t just added in.” Cat’s outta the bag and also he doesn’t lie to Pidge.
Pidge felt her face heat up, as she squeaked out a high pitched, “Oh.”
She waited, expecting something more. Something like, but that was back then, or yeah I liked you then but we were kids. Just something more. But the topic was left there, hanging in the air, feeling unfinished. Because it is unfinished!! It’s still there!!!! It’s still going!! But this also just shows how Pidge is always kind of waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Finally she asked, “Why?” He frowned and looked back at her questioningly. They were both perched on the edge of their beds anxious and drawn to each other and the space between them seemed to swallow what they said and didn’t say despite the silence in the room. She swallowed and let out a shaky breath. “I mean, why did you like me? I was… I was- I don’t know.” I never wanted to demean Pidge or have her demean herself. Pidge knew her strengths, she was smart, she was quick, she was stubborn, she was a good fighter. But as any teen might, she has her insecurities. Her mind wasn’t on dating back then, it wasn’t a priority. But looking back, she does wonder what the hell because those insecurities about her body and dating very much exist now that the danger is gone. 
“Smart? Determined? Strong?” Hunk finished for her. She looked at him, fighting the urge to roll her eyes. He looked frustrated, and he kept running a hand through his hair. “Pidge, you’ve got to stop putting yourself down. I don’t know why you do it, but it’s….” He sighed and stood up to kneel in front of her. Body language to show he’s at her beck and call (in a good way), and willing to be open and honest with her. Neither of them are closing themselves off. Her eyes were wide, focused on him, and she knew her cheeks were a bright red. “You’re a hero, Pidge. If people knew the things we did, you’d be every little girl’s role model. Smart, quick-witted, and resilient.”
She tried to steady her breathing, but he was too close and making her nervous. She could feel the anxiety running over her like a heat wave, making her feel like a fly under a magnifying glass in the sun. “You never said anything,” she whispered.
“The last thing I needed was to push away my best friend.”
She crossed her arms and scowled. “I’m not that terrible of a person, Hunk!” she snapped. “You’re my best friend too, I wouldn’t have just… cut you off or something. You could have told me, why would you just assume that I’d want you to go away?” Hunk also very much had his own insecurities. And I think that when it comes to best friends, there’s always that fear of what if it messes everything up? 
He sat back on his heels and sighed. “I was a kid, Pidge! I was…. My crushes before had never gone over well. I didn’t want to risk that happening with you. You had more important things to focus on, we all did.”
She frowned and looked away, towards the floor. “So I find out five years later in a book,” she grumbled.
“Yeah, I’m gonna kill Lance for that.” A tiny bit of more natural banter to sort of ease the new territory they’re in.
She kept glaring at the floor and took a very deep breath before her next question. “So when did you stop? Liking me, I mean. Because of Shay? Or when we came back home?”
No answer. She looked back at him to find his eyes on her. He looked like he was in pain. “Please don’t make me answer that,” he said, the words barely even a whisper. I HAD PLANNED THIS. FOR A WHILE. I was so so so excited for this very line of a pained “don’t ask me to answer that” because just. Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies. Hunk has felt this for so long but he RESPECTS Pidge enough not to let it intercede with their friendship, not to expect anything out of her, and he RESPECTS her enough to never want to lie to her. Even when it can hurt him. 
She looked at him, confused and worried. “Why?” as smart as Pidge is, emotions are not her thing even now. It’s also part of why she banked on schoolwork to distract her instead of dealing with herself. 
His lips twitched into a soft, sad smile, his eyes darting away from her. “Because I don’t want to lie to you. But I also don’t want to lose you because I just got you back.”
Her heartbeat sped up and she could feel her hands shaking, longing to reach for him. “I just told you that you wouldn’t have before. Why would you lose me now?” Hunk furrowed his eyebrows, his shoulders tense, looking everywhere but at her. She reached out, turning his head to her. His eyes locked on hers immediately, but they were wide and afraid. “Hunk? Talk to me.” gentle intimacy.... T.T I love them so much and I just wanna give them every soft moment ever.
He opened his mouth but promptly clamped it shut and shook his head.
Pidge could feel her heart pounding in her entire body. She knew the desperation was plain on her face in the way her eyebrows scrunched together, the way she kept biting her lip, the way her eyes searched frantically for something telling in Hunk’s face.
“Please?” she breathed. All she had to say was please for him to break and idk that’s. I love that. 
His eyes opened and he looked her in the eyes. His shoulders slumped and he leaned into her hand. “Because now these feelings are a lot stronger than they were when I was seventeen.” Pidge gasped and jerked back slightly, staring at him in disbelief. She’d gathered he still liked her but she didn’t expect him to say the feelings were STRONGER, Hunk are you trying to kill her?? “I didn’t stop. I thought I could live without you when we came back to Earth, but…. Everything came crashing back the second I saw you looking at me in the bakery. I. Loved. Writing. This. Confession. I believe hidge-resource did art for it, I can’t recall. Freckled face, tousled hair, and… big, amber eyes,” he said with a smile, pulling back himself as if to give her space. “I’m so sorry, Pidge.” anyone else as upset as me that Hunk feels he has to APOLOGIZE for his feelings? Because. God. He just bared himself and he still expects her to be upset. Because he kept it secret, for putting her in an uncomfortable position and THIS is why I love unknown requited pining. 
She remained silent, shell-shocked. He still liked her. His feelings had grown. And he was… sorry for it?
He looked up, defeat coating his features. Like he was certain he’d made a big mistake.
Her entire body felt like it was shaking as she reached up to cup his face with her hands. His beard was rough beneath her palm but she didn’t mind. She’d been holding back from him for so long. She never had to. He still liked her. He still liked her. He still liked her. I drew this, but I’d love to redraw it. Also the repetition is her trying to get it in her head.
Pidge leaned forward and pressed her lips to his, eyes shut. She felt like she’d opened a dam, and there was nothing she could do to stop the flood of emotion and memories that flowed from her. Endless smiles and jokes, fighting side by side, sleeping next to him, dancing in a dark living room, hungover mornings, laughter and comfort and…. Hunk. someone mentioned in a comment that they really liked how this kiss was described. It’s not the physical aspect of the kiss, but the emotional and personal aspects. The things that culminated to this one moment. 
She pulled away and gasped as his hand caressed her face. “What was- why are you crying?” he stammered.
She rolled her eyes and leaned forward to kiss him again, smiling against his lips. “You should have told me. Instead of having me pine after you like one of those cheesy movies we watched today.”
“Pine?” he repeated, dumbly.
She looked him in the eyes and laughed softly. “Do you think you could stop thinking for a sec and just kiss me back?” Pidge kissed him TWICE. And he couldn’t react because he was so dumbfounded. They’re both so smart but SO FUCKING STUPID. 
He let out a breathy, nervous laugh, but he pulled her in and kissed her. It was a little clumsy and uncertain, neither of them really used to the other this way. But between laughter and relieved, adoring gazes, they managed to figure each other out, their kisses slipping into something familiar and comfortable. I always loved the idea of being comfortable enough with someone that the clumsy awkward parts are easy to get through before reaching something soft and comfortable and familiar to the two people involved. Like... they’re best friends and know everything else, and this is something new, but also something that, like everything else, they’re gonna get familiar with.
