(this one feautures another @nikogane post! and me for the first time!)

[ikarakie]

the reason i headcanon matt to be such a badass, battle worn rebel commander is because it’s so funny to imagine the paladins hearing stories of matt through shiro and pidge and thinking of him as some bumbling genius dork only to meet him and he’s tall, buff, and cool as fuck

[weaponizedducks]

favourite kind of zukka fics is when zuko is chaotic besties with katara and katara is fucking gay enabler no.1 and she can see the fucking doomed yaoi pining with her extraspecial supersonic Gay Vision so she shoves them off a cliff or into a leprechaun closet Together while suki laughes and hakoda watches in fear

Fuck it we Ball (malnourished, rabid, and boarder line insane) (yes this part has been said before)

Fuck It We Ball (very much has no idea how to “ball” but wants to sound cool and sporadic)

[incorrect-kidge-quotes]

Matt: Alright Pidgey, spill. Who is it?

Pidge: What? Who's who? What are you-

Matt: Stuff it, I know when my baby sis has a crush, so spill or I will lose it. Is it Hunk?

Pidge: What? Quiznack, no he's like the brother I never had.

Matt: Hurtful, but okay, is it Lance?

Pidge: No-

Lance: Is what me?

Pidge: Nothing.

Matt: Yeah, it's nothing.

Lance: Okay, bee-tee-dubs, be on the lookout for Keith he may be in a bad mood.

Keith: *on the far end of the castle and quickly approaching* LANCE!

Pidge: 😳

Lance: Quiznack, gotta go!

Matt: Hate to be the one in the way of that war-path.

Matt: *sees Pidge's expression* Nooo... Keith?

Pidge: Is it weird that I kinda like it when he yells in my direction too...

Matt: Oh, definitely not, it happens to the best of us. Just be careful, Commanders in uniform are like catnip to us nerds.

Pidge: Oh yeah, who's your catn-

Matt: *shows his phone homescreen which is a pic of him and Shiro at the beach in swimtrunks*

Pidge: Fair enough.

Pidge: Want to ogle the brother's while Shiro tries to stop Keith from killing Lance?

[pidges-lost-robot]

I think Hunk and Keith love to just stand there as Lance and Pidge fucking roast the everloving shit out of each other and wonder whether people can just be nice and get along instead

(They are both hypocrites)

@lnkedmyheart, I appreciate the counter and alternate perspective! Admittedly, my only engagements with the fanbase, outside of a rogue Youtube recommendation, have been on Tumblr and Archive Of Our Own. And, with K/L being, by far, the most popular ship, and Lance and Keith being the most popular characters on both of these sites, I've been inundated with a lot of... "questionable" opinions on Shiro. (People pretending they don't hate him while espousing the nastiest ableist, ageist, homophobic rhetoric based on absolutely nothing but the versions of these characters they've fabricated in their heads.) I don't use TikTok, but everything I've seen in screenshots and reposts on Tumblr and Youtube indicates that it is a cesspit of the worst ignorance, sensationalism, pettiness, immaturity, and puritanism from Tumblr and Twitter congealed into one massive lake of sewage and sludge.

The people who despise Shiro are definitely indulging in some sort of substance. How else do you explain looking at this man,

and deciding that he's an old, "broken", "monster"?

(It shouldn't be a point of pride for these people to regurgitate the exact language of Shiro's abuser.)

I can understand if Shiro isn't someone's cup of tea. We don't choose the favorite character, the favorite character chooses us. Maybe they find his quiet, reserved personality unappealing because they prefer louder, flashy, hyperactive types, or comic relief. That's fine. But, people who despise Takashi Shirogane are completely out of touch with reality.

“We need to restart the level.”

Pidge turns to Lance, furrowing her brow at him. “Um, no we don’t. We’re killing it. We beat the Slayforn boss in like ten minutes, we’re never going to be able to do that again.”

“We have to restart,” Lance insists like the stubborn mule he is, reaching over to reset the console manually. Pidge yelps, lunging forward to smack his hand away. Never one to let her get the last hit, he smacks her right back, and Pidge can’t let that slide so she smacks him again, and the next thing she knows they’re wrestling on the floor, controllers abandoned.

“Don’t you fucking dare!” Lance shrieks, as Pidge moves to shove a wet finger in his ear. Pidge laughs evilly, fully intending on doing it anyway, but he shoves his head forward and bites her finger as she approaches.

“Ow! You dickhead! You broke the skin!”

“Come closer and I’ll fucking do it again!”

He bares his teeth at her like the feral, youngest-sibling-backed-into-a-corner weirdo he is (Pidge knows), completely serious on his threat. Pidge is careful to keep her fingers and appendages away from his teeth, and continues wreaking havoc in other ways.

She likes to pinch.

Luckily for her, she’s been training one-on-one with Allura for the past few months, so if she really applies her teachings she could kill God. Also, as much as she and Lance are in the same boat when it comes to sibling dynamics, he has a soft spot a mile wide because of his nieces and nephews and baby cousins, so she can emotionally manipulate him into being more hesitant around her in terms of violence.

(They fight a lot. Pidge knows her stuff.)

Eventually they reach the point where they’re trying so hard to pin each other that they’re wrapped up like twin pretzels, limbs flailing everywhere and various hisses and threats filling the room. Pidge, getting that claustrophobic feeling of being trapped, desperately needs to end it. She goes limp, throwing off Lance’s balance, and then whips herself forward, bucking him off her — and directly into the corner of his bed frame, The thunk is so sharp and loud that it’s almost a crack.

Lance’s “ow” is so quiet that it’s almost silent in comparison.

“What was that?” a voice booms down the hallway, and Pidge heart pounds.

“Lance?” she asks frantically, shaking his shoulder. “Are you dead?”

“I said, what was that!” Shiro yells louder. He sounds closer.

“Nothing!” Pidge shouts through the door. She glances back down at Lance, who has yet to move his hands from where they’re clutched at his head. Fuck! “We were just — uh, I dropped something!”

Lance makes a low whimpering noise, curling further in on himself.

“No no no, stop crying, it’s okay, you can hit me back,” Pidge whispers frantically. She shakes her arm at him. “Okay? And then we’re even. Don’t tell Shiro.”

Lance doesn’t look at her, still making the occasional pained noise. Shiro’s footsteps get louder.

She is going to get in so much trouble, which isn’t even fair because Lance was wrestling too! They’re both not allowed to try to kill each other!

Shiro’s footsteps get even louder, and closer together, like he’s running. Fuck! Fuck fuck fuck!

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

“I’ll let you hit me twice! And the second time can be unexpected!”

The door handle jiggles. Lance is still not straightening up.

She’s fucked.

Shiro pokes his head in, already frowning, squinting to see through the darkness of the room.

“What’s going on, you two?”

Pidge closes her eyes in defeat. She’s fucked.

“Nothing,” says a pleasant voice from beside her. She whips around, jaw dropped, only to see Lance upright and totally normal, looking as smug as smug can be.

Fucking snake!

Shiro raises an eyebrow. “I heard arguing. And a bang.”

“We were yelling at the TV because we lost a game,” Lance lies.

Pidge imagines all the ways she’s going to kill him.

Shiro doesn’t look totally convinced, but unfortunately for him Lance is an excellent liar when he’s planning to be, and there’s not so much as a crack in his expression.

“Alright,” their leader says hesitantly. “Don’t…kill each other.”

“Wouldn’t dream of it,” Lance promises sunnily. Pidge barely resists the urge to smack him right then and there.

She decides not to resist, actually. The second Shiro shuts the door she lunges, snarling, fully ready to get right back where they left off. But Lance doesn’t let her — anticipating her violence, he scrambles to his feet and scales the dresser, taking refuge on a tiny little shelf by the ceiling that only his stick ass could balance on.

“Ah ah ah,” he says, wagging his finger infuriatingly. “You promised two hits if I didn’t tell Shiro. Not the other way around.”

“Bullshit!” she cries, scanning the room to see if she can find a broom to swat at him like a spider. She is unsuccessful. “I traded that because I thought you were hurt!”

Lance touches his chest in mock serenity. “I was hurt. My heart was broken by your violence.”

“Lance, the second you get down from there I am going to fucking kill you.”

May be he reads the rage in her voice, because he hesitates.

“Fine. I get one free hit.”

“No free hits and I only kill you a little.”

“No free hits and we restart the level,” he bargains

Pidge squints at him. He must be serious, because that’s a major deal on his part. Pidge would never give in that quickly.

“No free hits and we restart the level only if you tell me why.”

“Sold.”

He drops down from the ceiling, landing neatly on the floor and then immediately tripping the first step he takes.

Pidge has to fight the smile off her face.

He settles down back where he was before, handing Pidge her controller and grabbing his own.

“Explain yourself,” Pidge orders as he clicks through the menu to restart the level.

Lance hesitates before answering, so Pidge knows the next words out of his mouth are going to be bullshit.

“I read on Space Internet that the rocket power up makes the next level easier, but you have to use it through this level or it didn’t work.”

Yep. She was right.

“Uh huh,” she says, raising her eyebrow at him. “And you didn’t do that before level because…”

“I forgot,” Lance insists.

Pidge sets her controller down, turning to face him. She narrows her eyes, scrutinizing him, and he squirms; shifting nervously and avoiding her eyes.

She already knew he was lying. But if he just wanted to restart the level to beat their time record, then he would just tell her. And she would have noticed if he wanted to restart the level because he was sucking ass, or something, so it wasn’t that. This shadiness from him doesn’t make sense — he only acts like that when he’s guilty, or embarrassed.

It dawns on her then. Embarrassed or guilty — or a mix of the two.

“Are you telling me,” she says gleefully, and knows she’s on the right track when Lance sighs in defeat, “that you want to restart our entire level because you feel bad about the NPC dialogue option you chose?”

Ten minutes into their game, they had encountered an NPC that was supposed to give them advice for the boss they were going to face, only the advice was kind of dogshit. The two of them had complained loudly, because that was half the fun of gaming, and in an impulsive and uncharacteristic move, Lance had chosen the slightly rude dialogue option. The NPC walked away all dejected, as it was programmed to do, but they’d been attacked by the boss right after, so Pidge pretty much forgot it happened.

But Lance’s dork ass?

“There was no need for that level of rudeness,” Lance defends. “It was just trying to help! It’s not it’s fault it was programmed to give bad advice!”

Of course Lance has felt bad about being rude to a literal NPC for the past half hour.

Pidge bursts out laughing, pointing at Lance as obnoxiously as she can so he knows she’s making fun of him. He gets the hint and scowls, brown eyes glaring daggers.

“You’re the worst,” he says.

“You’re a loser,” Pidge wheezes. “Oh my God.”

She turns back to the game, still giggling, ignoring Lance’s continued grumbles.

They do worse this time around. Pidge teases him the entire time.

(But, honestly, she’s a little endeared. Not that Lance needs to know.)

Honestly screw fanon romantic and platonic relationships. Tell what character pairings (with little to no interactions in canon) which fandom insists would be great friends but you know it in your heart would kill each other without hesitation

[fagdykevash]

the sibling dynamics in voltron are so top tier they make me fucking unwell. like shiro and keith teasing and being honest each other + pidge and matt complimenting and bouncing off each other like ughhh it's so good

voltron as textposts etc. 21

(part 22 posted)

[toastess-with-the-mostess]

I think I'm gonna talk about my VF OC more! For now, I'm gonna be self-indulgent with her and talk about potential lion placement, lol

I'm not sure if this would be canon to my rewrite, but I like the idea of Anya having a connection to yellow, especially because in VLD the yellow paladin basically wears their heart on their sleeve and tries to help everyone before themselves her being a royal advisor is legitimately the embodiment of half of that, the other comes from her personality as I like to think of her as an open book when it comes to her emotions

Obviously she isn't trained to be a pilot, she was never meant to be one nor does she want to be one. But my idea is that hunk get knocked down during a fight with a robeast, the team still being on Arus means Anya is there to help but what about the cadets? All of them are paired up with pilots already, Daniel with lance, Vince with Allura, and Larmina with pidge. Except as we see in every fight where it's the lions vs a robeast and not voltron themself, they don't fare too well

So the team can't get to Hunk, and he isn't responding to them at all. Then Anya makes the very stupid and very dangerous call to run out there and get to him herself. When she does, he doesn't respond to her either (but is otherwise ok) and while the team is yelling at her for choosing to do something like that, they at least recognize she can manually* start the lion.

*In reference to DOTU since they always activated their lions by inserting the key into them, the same way Sven did in Ghost In The Lion, instead of the remote start they have now with the voltcoms

Once yellow lion comes back online, everything is on her, and she doesn't know how to fly. Yet she knows the lions are sentient, so before taking her first attempt into piloting into an active war zone and piloting in general, she begs yellow to work with her because it's more than just her life that is in danger because of an inactive lion

There's definitely more to that part specifically, but that's when her connection happens. Yellow doesn't just kick on autopilot to help her out, she telepathically reaches out to her to tell* her that she was bold to think she could make a difference without having any skills to back her up, but that it was the right choice to make anyway

*I imagine they talk to anyone that's not their pilot but only if worthy of them similarly to bumblebee and his radio in the transformers Bay movies, with bits of pieces of people talking from their own memories, not perfect but gets the job done. The pilots can hear their actual voice though and have a stronger physical and mystical connection to them.

Anya and yellow manage to get back to the team, who are going nuts at the turn of events, and get close enough to green to let Larmina hop over to take over yellow. From there the battle is won and once they're back in the castle, with Hunk now conscious and getting checked out at med bay, the pilots all bombard her with questions over what happened and how she felt being about to talk to the lions.

She's obviously freaked out, but she's happy that something as important as a lion of voltron trusted her to do the right thing, especially enough to form a connection like that. Lance starts talking to her about doing flight training and the others agree, but she refuses to get into the pilot's seat again because she doesn't want to be out on the battlefield ever again

They manage to convince to her some training because even if she's not out there being another cadet, she's the closest thing to a backup pilot they've got right now, and they definitely need it against maahox's forces

[evi-anxiety]

Uhhhh I LOVE Lance and Pidge's dynamic, and I LOVE the concept of them being like siblings to each other.

Like Pidge reminds Lance of his niece, while Lance reminds Pidge of her older brother. They both get homesick a lot, and just resort to hanging out with each other bc they make each other feel like they're at home.

Idk I like the idea of them doing stupid sibling stuff. They steal the game console from the other's room, they snatch food that's clearly labeled "Lance" or "Pidge", they have inside jokes no one else gets.

Ughhhh I could just go on abt all my fav platonic plance headcanons I LOVE THEM SO MUCH

[uniquecellest]

Klance and Adashi parallels that keep me up:

Keith and Adam: both went and did something sewer slideal (to be fair though Adam was ordered and Keith got saved by Lotor)

Lance and Shiro: both died but ended up coming back to life (Lance via Alluras powers and Shiro via having his conscience being put inside a clone), they're also both like mega flirts and disasters

Shiro and Keith: wanting to be in space no matter what and helping people constantly

Lance and Adam: love piloting but also wanting to be on Earth (I like to think Lance helps out on the farm but he's also the new lead MFE pilot for the Garrison and is teaching a new generation)

Also both ships have their own holt sibling that more than likely annoyed them about their crushes (Matt definitely bugged Shiro more than Adam and Pidge definitely bugged Lance more)

If yall have any other parallels throw them down

[fluffyspaceball]

My toxic trait is waking up and thinking about how gay coded Keith was .

LOOK AT HIM HE HAS NEVER HAD A FEMALE CRUSH AND HAS CONSTANTLY BEEN SURROUNDED BY MALES AND THE TIME HE DOES INTERACT WITH FEMALES, THEY ARE EITHER ALIENS OR PIDGE AND THEY HAVE A SIBLING GODAMN BOND

Also he and Lance have way to many moments together close up to be straight and sure bromances are a thing BUT IF EITHER OF THEM WERE TO BE A WOMEN THEN IT WOULD BE A CLASSIC RIVALS TO LOVERS PLOT

THIS IS NOT STRAIGHT 😭

(also I head cannon lance as bisexual cus it lance ofc he's bi)
