Pls share with us your other black paladin allura reasons and hcs 👉🏻👈🏻

ohhhhhh you’ve given me an excuse to go off. thank you for that 🫶

okay first the reasons. i think many of the writing decisions in legendary defender were influenced by the desire to stay true to older iterations, which had black paladin keith/akira, red paladin lance/isamu, and blue paladin allura/fala. they made new personalities for the VLD team but kept them in the same old roles, to the detriment of all three affected by the lion swap

this post and this post talk a bit about how allura should’ve been black paladin while keith and lance remain in red and blue, respectively. but the short of it is this: the position of black paladin is one of leadership and responsibility. who on the team is literally royalty, which means they were raised to lead responsibly? allura. she’s also basically been co-leading alongside shiro since day one. she is way more equipped for the job than keith

and yeah no offense to keith or black paladin keith enjoyers but he is NOT equipped for the job of leader to me lmao. he also just. doesn’t want to be leader? at least at first in season 3 he didn’t want it. i don’t remember the later seasons but then again i don’t care about canon and i do what i want with these characters like they’re barbie dolls. and keith just doesn’t feel like the leader type. he’s a perfect right hand to me

as for headcanons. i think she takes the job so so seriously. like too seriously. she has a lot of experience piloting the castleship but it’s very different piloting the black lion. she spends so long building that skill and combat training with the black bayard. she has to catch up to the paladins who have been training this whole time! but to keep her from pushing herself too hard the team also encourages her to work on the team bonding that’s so necessary for voltron. (it has the bonus effect of helping everyone deal with the fact that shiro’s missing) she has so much fun growing even closer to the team as a fellow paladin. she’s still leader but they’re closer to equals and off the battlefield they treat her as a friend rather than The Princess and she’s quietly overjoyed and relieved by this

also during her first battle in the black lion she does a great job!! maybe not as good as shiro and there’s places where she can improve but she does great :^) and then afterwards she gushes to the team about how cool and fun it was to be involved in the action up close!!!! meanwhile coran’s gonna start growing grey hairs because his tiny baby princess is being so reckless!! (that’s his daughter idc what anyone says)

and when shiro does come back he and allura agree to co-pilot the black lion. leading is hard! it’s nice to share the burden with someone who gets it and is there for you. also there’s this post i made where they got silly with it :^)

TLDR: allura should be black paladin because it’s the very least she deserves
