#shaladin!?!

[localfanbaselurker]

From scrolling on Pinterest, I’ve discovered some things that I have questions about:

-> where does the whole “Keith is obsessed with moth man” thing come from

-> why is shiro referred to as a six-year-old

-> why did you guys decide to call keith’s dad “Texas Kogane” (this is actually funny so it’s not necessarily a question but more of an amused curiosity)

-> is Lance actually cuban or is that just a really popular headcanon/appeared once in a famous fic and everyone started using it

-> what is “shaladin” ???

erm. *scratches head and walks away*

almost forgot to post this thing I made for @klance-sidesystem based off of some old adventure time aus we stumbled across

[naniyou]

Listen I have Shipper’s Brain and I am struggling so hard to not let it infect my reading Stormlight Archive.

…the fanart is so good though :3c

i went here in 2017 and they called me a pedophile

[alohaasaloevera]

WARNING!! MENTIONS OF VLD DISCOURSE PLEASE PROCEED WITH CAUTION!!

yo I need y’all’s opinion on the Sheith vs Klantis (or just Klance) discourse way back then??? I personally think Shiro and Keith’s relationship is platonic but I would actually like to hear other people’s view points of Sheith whether they shipped Klance or Sheith or none.

I’m relatively new to this fandom (I started consuming vld media in late 2022), and god even I know the fandom way back then was crazy.. people definitely took it too far.

Also Sheith isn’t incest??? Maybe it’s weird for some people (including me) but c’mon they aren’t even related 😭😭😭

WTF…. People thought Plance was pedophilia?1!1?!1?11! Pidge was like 15 and Lance 17 at the start of the show and the law in the us says an 18 yr old and a 16 yr old can date, just no hopping on the vegetables….

Yooo klantis were crazyyyyy…. Now I understand why klance gives people PTSD

Anyways… just tell me about how you interpret shiro and Keith’s relationship and why

(Also I haven’t watched VLD past season 3 so I don’t know a lot of the lore..)

i think one of the symptoms of being extremely online from the age of 10 is that u will one day no longer be the loneliest little girl in the universe who only has fun doing online fandom discourse. and instead you will have real life friends and a girlfriend and career ambitions. but a part of you yearns for the freedom of being 13 with a popular voltron blog or 11 with a popular frozen fanfiction. it’s so strange.

I hate that klance spaces are mostly antis. Y’all make me wanna ship sheith out of spite.

I wish I could ship it man, you guys seem so nice 😭😭😭

voltron legendary defender ruined my life in a lot of ways but perhaps the most significant one being that i can never ever ever sing the correct lyrics to "beautiful" from heathers <3

ANYWAY time for baby's first actual Rhythm of War reread, i haven't done a cosmere reread since before it was out... can't wait to have all my ball hairs methodically plucked out by navani's character arc again

[scattered-winter]

Opinions on Lance x Pidge, aka Plance, aka Pidgance, aka Flirty Robots?

I ofc have no problem with ppl shipping it because 1) its a fandom space and ppl are gonna do what they wanna do which is fine and 2) I have a job. I'm wayyyy past caring what other ppl do in their fandom spaces lmao

but it's not my cup of tea, personally!! I've always read pidge as either aroace or lesbian (or both if I'm feeling funky) and her dynamic with lance has always struck me as more sibling-like (something soo personal about pidge [grieving her older brother and constantly Constantly trying to find him in the middle of a War] and lance [Built In Older Brother] dynamic fr fr)

I've seen some other pidge ships around (like kidge) which again. I don't care what ppl do. but it's not My fav thing so I'll never actively engage in fanart/fiction that has it and I'll also never write it. probably safe to say that I'll feel similarly about Any pidge ship mostly because To Me, her story is about trying to find her family, and she ends up finding two <3 however I will say that flirty robots is an INCREDIBLE ship name. 10/10

so I stayed in the darkness with you

Stuck in the chasms with a highstorm approaching, Shallan and Kaladin had no choice but to find – or make – whatever shelter they could. Now, alone amidst the tempest, they must wait for the darkness to pass as they seek comfort in the only place available to them: each other's arms.

Shallan leaned out from the small ledge she’d cut into the chasm wall. One hand clung to the rock beneath her, shakily supporting her weight, as the other stretched down towards where Kaladin reached up to her.

Their fingertips were an inch apart when the stormwall hit. Rain beat against her face but she resisted the urge to retreat, determined to see Kaladin join her in relative safety. The wind screeched as it blew through the chasm, like a charging army of unseen spirits were about to emerge from the darkness. The one lit sphere she had remaining seemed inadequate in the face of that, but it was all they had.

Kaladin’s hand found hers, slipping at first in her rain-soaked grasp, but it only made them grip each other tighter. She could feel the strength in his hand, the callouses that had formed from lifting bridges and wielding a spear. It was a strength that dwarfed her own; did she even have enough to pull him up? 

She tried anyway, heaving him up as she took a sharp breath in. The Light from the last sphere surged into her and the sudden rush of strength that came with it caught her by surprise. The pair of them tumbled into the rudimentary storm shelter in a sodden, gasping heap.

The plateau shuddered as a boulder was flung at it with a sound like thunder, making Shallan jump. She scrabbled back away from the edge only to find Kaladin was already moving, dragging himself to the far end of their hollow and her with him. With the sphere now dun, the darkness was nearly complete, and she clutched at him without thinking, needing the reassurance of his warm, solid presence.

He said nothing, merely gathered her in closer. Thick arms pulled her against his broad chest, holding her securely against the howling winds. She shivered as she pressed herself into his torn and sodden coat. 

For all the shelter the hollow gave them, she was still outside in a highstorm. This wasn’t a situation she could talk her way out of. She didn’t even have Stormlight. They were just two people caught in the midst of the raw power of nature.

She looked up at Kaladin, a flash of lightning briefly throwing his features into sharp relief. There was a rugged beauty to his face, like that of a natural rock formation shaped by the winds, but as always she was drawn most to his eyes. They were set with a look of such determination that even stone would think twice before crossing him. Shallan may have doubted her own strength to make it through this night, but the same could not be said of Kaladin Stormblessed. She could almost believe he could keep her safe through sheer force of will alone.

His eyes flicked down to meet hers and suddenly she was caught in the intensity of that gaze. Having it entirely focused on her took her breath away, like being doused in icy water. There was something else in his expression; a softness, a sense of understanding and protection, like he knew what she was afraid of and he wouldn’t allow it to harm her. She didn’t know what to make of it. It was overwhelming. It made her want to run – she could let no-one protect her – and yet it was exactly what she needed in that moment. 

She kissed him.
