#they cant be counted in the gay spec

[baconcolacan]

Please excuse me for a while. I have to clear my ask box of the gays (tomtord), so all my arts for a while will just be,,,,,gay,,,,

[chronically-enthusiastic]

HI ELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

you like podcasts, right?

do you have any recommendations? so far i've been listening to all vampires are gay and it's pretty cool but you have a great taste in Things so i thought you might have some suggestions :D

i love you <3

A;S.DKLJFASKJDF SO MUCH EXCITEMENT RIGHT NOW AND i CANT COPE HEHEHEALKSJFHALJ AGAGGGGGHSDFSFFFFFFHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*dies*

Okay.......... *composes myself, adjusts blazer and tie, pulls out a briefcase and begins*

Hmm this post got a lil out of hand so here's a read break for anyone who doesn't want to hear me talk for *copies and pastes into google docs to count the words* 800 words about fiction podcasts :DDDD

Sooo! I have not listened to all vampires are gay, but have read the podcast description so I know a little about what you are looking for....

Audio dramas (In order of how similar to AVAG I think they probably are):

Where The Stars Fell is a dark supernatural podcast (I had to stop listening bc it got too dark....) that seems very similar? I don't remember much and didnt listen enough to get a proper feel for it.... check it out and see!!

I listened to a like 20 episodes of Welcome to Night Vale before that one got too dark - but it is very popular on this website and each ep is kinda like a news report. Its set in a weird town where lots of supernatural things happen and almost every conspiracy theory is true there.

The Unseen Podcast has a *very* cool format. Each episode is kinda a monologue from a different person each week. It talks about their individual experiences in a fantasy world and it has SUCH a cool magic system!! Please listen to this/do more research..... I've spent like 45 mins on this post at this point (I haven't written it in order, this is one of the last parts im writing) and I'm tired so can't really explain it properly.... Sorry!!! But I loved the non-dark episodes of that!!! (they had content warnings so I only listened to the ones with reasonable content warnings)

Civilised is an improvised science fiction dark comedy show about a ship stranded on a planet and strange things ensue. I listened to the first few series but then from what I remember it got a little too dark for me. (my threshold is very low fyi). I listened to that one a while ago so don't have much else to say, check out the first few eps if it sounds interesting!!

We Fix Space junk is again a dark comedy sci fi show (also a dystopia kind of) about scavengers in space! Again, listened to it ages ago so I don't remember much....

The amelia project is kind of a surreal (maybe?) show about a company that fakes people's deaths. Each episode is framed as an interveiw. So far it has 72 episodes, and it has just come to the end of the 2nd part of the 5th series! The first series is very much a collection of semi-unrelated stories but the plot begins to unfold in S2, and *lots* of things start to happen in S3 onwards!! My personal favourite!!!

Wooden Overcoats is a comedy podcast about a funeral home run by Rudyard and Antigone Funn, two probably autistic, probably a-spec, characters. Eric Chapman opens another funeral home and its kinda about their rivalry but also how they kinda cant live without each other and if any of that sounds even remotely interesting please please please listen because it is truly hilarious and excellently written and produced!!!!! It is finished with 4 seasons. My other favourite!!!!

Alba Salix is a fantasy show that is very very fun!! Again, I listened to it a while ago so I don't have much to say bc I can't remember, but it has quite a similar feel to BBC Merlin I think? With more fairies and magic though. I remember loving it very much. I should probably relisten soon!! This is from the website:

"Farloria’s Royal Physician has her work cut out for her. As head witch and the only regular staff member at the new House of Healing, Alba’s got an endless lineup of patients and a bickering King and Queen to please. Fortunately, help is on the way. Unfortunately, that help is from Magnus, a troublesome young ex-monk and aspiring surgeon, and Holly, an accident-prone fairy herbalist."

Forgive Me is a comedy about a father (the religous type, not a parental figure) who runs a church and each episode is framed as a confession in the catholic church. It's not very religous-y and does point out some of the problems with religion etc. Its quite lighthearted from what I remember? The amelia project did a crossover episode with them!

WOW this post got very long! I will put a read break to shorten it........ oops!! I like podcasts very very much.... heheeeee

These are all the fiction podcasts I have listened to (I think? there are probably more that I have forgotten about....) but if you want any non-fiction ones I have a lot more to talk about heheee!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Love you too Echo!!! And thank you for inadvertently letting me infodump about a special interest for this long!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tarantulas4davey]

race is a plant gay and if he goes to the store by himself its pretty much guaranteed that hes gonna come back with a plant

al cant make thats what she said jokes when playing among us with specs and/or romeo but he says them on reflex so he will be halfway through the phrase before he realizes he cant say that and tries and fails to save it

the instruments al plays and why (and where i reveal my true colors as a band kid): he played marimba in symphonic band, tenor drums in marching band, drum kit for jazz band, piano cause it looked fun, and violin out of spite because he was told hed stink at it.

al once offhandedly mentioned that there was a specific chip brand that was his favorite but he could never find and for a solid month their po box was filled with nothing but those chips

race got to do a make-up tutorial with al as his victim subject because al lost a bet that he could go an entire video without cussing

they got a massive german shepard and its basically a 100 pound over excited puppy. al posts a video to his tiktok of it knocking race over.

when race is playing horror games, he plays them on their couch because al is always right next to him and its easier to fear-cuddle that way

al constantly turns off superchat because he feels terrible when fans try to give him money. once he forgot to disable it while streaming among us and he was the imposter and he said during a meeting that if he recieved $300 in donations he would say who the imposter was and he got the money immediately. he was so shocked and felt so terrible he outed himself as the imp and tried to give the money back to the people that donated

race commented on a comp of al making fans simp for him saying "dont tell him i told you this but i think hes kinda cute" and their fans freaked tf out realizing that race actually watched their clips

when al gets really focused he'll start chewing his lip so the focused intense murder face + biting his lip has fans (and race) fuckin thorsty

oh BOY these are fun

this is gonna take me forever cause i’m in theology and my teacher’s an asshat but ✨let’s get into it✨

- such a plant gay omg. absolutely zero window sills, tables, bathrooms, balconies, shelves or bedside tables are safe from race’s plant obsession. he names all of them and loves them with his whole soul.

- romeo and specs banned him from ‘that’s what she said’ jokes and so in response whenever they’re talking in proximity chat he’ll say ‘that’s what he said’ as a replacement. it gets extra memed cause people keep asking race if he ACTUALLY said these things. also he sometimes still messes it up and says ‘she’ and race’s dramatic ass does the *whip around and gay gasp* “who is ‘SHE’ in this scenario, hmm?”

- he really is a percussion kid, isnt he? the only thing he can play on violin is the wii theme but it counts. he can also bass (cause bass players are hot i said what i said) and a few songs on ukelele that sarah taught him

- yes ! same thing happened when race said he wished they sold jolly ranchers by flavor cause he only likes the blue ones, there was nothing but blue jolly ranchers for at least 2 weeks

- race was very excited to torture do makeup on al and albert was pretending he didn’t LITERALLY subject himself to this cause he forgot he couldn’t cuss all of 20 minutes in and swore no less than 12 times under his breath after jack saw him vent while on cool down. race smugly covers al in colorful and shimmery eyeshadow and red lipstick. he also puts fake lashes on him with katherine’s help (just so he doesn’t accidentally blind al in the process)

- this is probably a bit later when they’re living in an actual house and not their current set up, but yes !! they strike me as big dog people. race gets knocked down about 50% of the time the dog decides to jump on him, whereas al has only been knocked down once and it was when both race and the dog jumped at him at the same time. al regularly picks up the dog for the meme cause he thinks it’s funny to carry this massive dog around like a baby.

- the fear-cuddle 🥺 the standard for horror games when al plays solo is in the game room in the dark with a candle (cause al has no fear) but they play in their living room with the multicolor light setup when race is there cause then he can have a cat and a controller to start, grab al when he gets scared and hide into al when he can’t keep playing. overall a good setup

- jdhdhd HE SO WOULD. people just wanna donate to support him (or for the lols) but he’ll only turn it on during drinking streams with the whole group where they’re just chatting and playing random games cause he does truth or dare for donations, or if they’re doing a charity stream (for obvious reasons) but y e a h if he leaves it on and says something like that as a joke and then actually gets it he feels so guilty and immediately tells the group what happened. he called an emergency meeting for it once (also random among us fact albert is BOSS at jester. looking sus is SO EASY for him cause he doesn’t usually have any tells so he just adds a random tell or two and the group is like ‘damn al’s bad today’ and then he gets a jester win)

- i’ve always thought theyve done videos of them reacting to compilations/edits and stuff for race’s channel but they also just like,,,, genuinely watch everything fans make for them and it always still manages to shock fans (also race commenting that fjhdhevd)

- yesss the murder face. he bites his lip and messes with his lip ring (!!!! friendly reminder al has a lip ring, i mention it in the face reveal) and just has this like angry glint in his eyes and all his followers (and his boyfriend) are already simps so they just,,,,, cannot with this. they’re so thirsty on twitter it’s not even funny 🤚

ahhhhhhhhhh i love i love i love

[one-hell-of-a-bi]

The Dream Daddy and Steven Universe discourse is a great example of how queer and feminist media is held to such a high standard that it's actually detrimental to any kind of progress becuase honestly any time queer creators try their fucking hardest to bring our community the representation it deserves they are worshiped as gods but the second they make one mistake(which is always going to happen no two queer people will ever agree of what counts as good rep and the creators are human and humans fuck up sometimes) they are vilified and burned at the stake and tbh it is making a lot of up and coming queer creators hesitant as hell to try for any kind of rep for fear of being attacked for trying to do the right thing

Like when was the last time you saw a cartoon created by cis straight people get attacked for having queer rep? When was the last time a studio faced any kind fo backlash for including a queer character or allowing the player to date NPCs regardles of gender? I can't think of a single time.

But god forbid a queer artist or writer try to represent us. Cuz every time they get dragged over the coals and called monsters and homophobes and racists and pedophiles when often all they did was write something harmless in a way that someone disagreed with.

I once argued with someone who said they'd rather have no rep than bad rep, and while I'm inclined to agree, I cant when 'bad rep' means 'this creator tried to have a nuanced take on queer life and issues and I didnt like it'

A background gay character with barely five minutes of combined screen time dies is seen as grounds for horrific death threats despite the show giving us a well written three-dimensional Asian gay man who defied death at every turn and ended up happily married.

A nb jewish woman gives us some remarkable queer representation, the first on screen gay wedding in a children's TV show and spreads a message of tolerance and love is called a facist homophobe for having the audacity to claim that people can change.

A group of queer writers and artists and developers pour their heart and soul into a fun fluffy dating sim that is inclusive of interracial relationships, trans identities, m-spec identities and non-traditional families is burned alive over nitpicks like the game not being long enough or subtle anime references and a clearly joke ending that never made it into the offical game.

Several queer youtubers work hard to make healthy and supportive queer content eventually say that asexual and aromantic people are part of the community and are called pedophiles and predators and slandered until thousands of people think they are monsters when they didnt do anything wrong.

A queer showrunner tried to include subtle rep into her show and she is called an abuse apologist who supports pedophilia and incest for writing a few spicy scenes between two unrelated girls who just happened to grow up together.

And all the while we praise creators who dont really care or weren't even trying for doing the bare minimum or even less with some subtext and a few winks to the audience.

Like yes none of these examples are perfect, and you are free to have issues with them and dislike them all you want. But it seems really fucking harmful that any time a queer creator gives us rep we spit it back in their face and try to destroy them and I dont understand how that's supposed to cultivate a healthy and supportive creative queer community.

I've seen people get mad at people who write fanfiction for calling themselves writers. Like they're writing stuff? They're writers? Like I've seen the same thing with art as well, getting mad at people who make fanart for calling themselves artists. I will never understand that.

its just elitism and not allowing people who havent reached a certain level of prestige to be counted in the club

and its also like you cant do professional work and other fun shit on the side like i work on my own spec scripts for pitching and i also sometimes write gay dumbass vocaloid garbage fanfic on the side cause i fuckin FEEL like it baby!!! i can do what i want!

[sockpansy]

Just kiss already

Hey there @organizeddiscord ! I got you for the fic writing event hosted (started) by @the-prince-and-the-emo and so, without further ado....

Ships: logince and moxiety, both romantic.

Word count: 1796

Prompt: student au: main ship are trying to set up their mutual friends, while falling in love in the process.

Summary: patton is the pastel boy who everyone is friends with, except Virgil, the moody emo who avoids everyone. Logan and Roman notice this, and want to help Patton, who really wants to be friends with Virgil. Along the way of setting up new friends, logan and Roman realize that Patton and Virgil would be a cute couple. Now they just need to make it happen.

______

Patton was the pastel popular kid that eveeyone liked. He was kind and helpful, clumsy but always willing to listen. Everyone loved him.

Except Virgil.

Honestly, Virgil found patton funny with his puns, and he seemed sweet, but he perfered to be alone, and patton was always surrounded by people, lots of people.

So Virgil tried to keep his distance.

Patton refused to take the hint.

Prancing over to the emo edge lord, Patton gave a cheerful greeting.

"Good morning Virgil! I like the eyeshadow." Said person looked up through his bangs.

"...uh yeah, sure, thanks." He tried to walk past. Virgil may not want to be friends with him, but he just can't be mean to Patton, it is physically impossible.

Patton walked beside Virgil."that math test was really hard. But you turned yours in so quick! You must be really smart."

"Nah, i just gave up and accepted defeat, plus then i get to nap quicker"

From down the hall, two friends watch in thought.

Logan, student concil president, and Roman, theatre star, stood side by side.

"Ya know Logan, patton really wants to befriend Virgil..." Roman sighed dramatically.

Logsn gave a curt nod."yes he does..yet Virgil does not want too...and you cant force someone to be friends"

Roman blinked and looked at logan silently, a grin overtaking his face. Logan soon turned to face him. Eyebrow raised, before the gears clicked.

"Roman we are not-"

"Just let me explain! Look, virgil doesn't have any friends, and patton wants to be friends, if we get them to be away from lots of other people and make them hang out, maybe virgil will come around and agree to be friends with Patton."

"Roman we can't just-"

"Ill by you a week supply of crofters."

"Im in."

______

With some quick planning, and a few practiced lines, the next day Logan and Roman went to put their plan into action.

Patton always greeted Virgil in the mornings, so when patton started to talk to Virgil, Logan and roman walked over.

"Patton, Virgil."Logan greeted.

Roman was grinning as he announced."Patton listen! I just found the coolest roller rink and they are having a special!"

Logan looked at Roman a bit, a practiced."ah yes, you told me it had a group special? A group of four gets a free pizza and a handful of arcade tokens each for free with a purchase?"

Roman nods excited."yeah, but the skates are super cute, of course ill bring my rainbow ones! But how about it Patton, wanna go?" Roman asked. Logan was keeping an eye on Virgil, who hadnt moved but was looking for a way out of the tiny crowd.

Patton beamed excitement."oh that sounds great! But who could be the fourth person?"

Logan piped up, facing virgil he said."Virgil? Would you like to join us on a skating trip this Friday afternoon?"

Virgil, caught off gaurd by suddenly being asked to go somewhere, just stared at them all. "Uhh..."

Patton had jumped at the idea." Oh please Virgil! It will be so much fun, plus it will be a group thing so you wont have to pay!".

Virgil bit his lips a bit."I..i guess?"

____

The roller rink was a place that was dimly lit, but you could still see everything. It had an arcade and booth for eating along with, of course, a rink.

Roman paid for the group while logan got them roller skates.

Virgil said."uh I..brought my own so...yeah."

Logan nodded as he and patton went to get skates.

Roman sat beside Virgil as they changed shoes. "So emo nightmare...you have skated before?"

Virgil glanced st him as he slid on purple and black roller blades. "Yep, I like blading better."

Patton and logan came back over. Patton was grinning. "This place looks so cool!"

Logan gave a smile and nods. "Yes it is...quite interesting."

Roman stood in his rainbiw skates."come on Logan! To the rink!" And he pulled a stightly wobbily logan after him.

Patton was bittting his tongue as he tried to figure out if he was putting the roller skates on right.

Virgil glanced at him."I can help you..." And he made sure Patton had his skates tied tight enough. "You fall in shoes, so we have to make sure you don't break an ankle here."

Patton giggled."thanks Virgil! So...you've been skating before?"

Virgil glanced up at him."yeah a few times..."

Patton nods."so then...could you teach me? Ive never been skating."

Virgil stopped and looked at Patton.

"If you have never skated,why did you want to come?"

Patton grinned."cause it means more time with my friends."

Virfil bit back a smile, patton's smiles were contagious.

"So..you want me to teach you?"

______

Roman had stayed near Logan most of the time the nerd was in the rink, using his free time to do tricks. Logan didnt skate much, but had enough balance to stay on his feet. The duo watch as Virgil and Patton were laughing as Patton learned to skate. Patton had fell, but when Virgil went to help him up, his skates decided to trip him, and they were on the floor laughing together.

Roman was the first to speak."Logan, they can't just be friends."

Logan hummed."I...do see what you mean..."

Roamn nods,"they have to be soul mates Logan! And we have to be the ones to set them up."

Logan sighed but gave the tiniest of smiled."there is no way I'm talking you out of it..."

Right at that moment, logan stumbled and grabbed onto roman's sleeve, making the other struggling to keep them both up.

"Sorry Roman." Logan apologize, Roman gave him a charming smile, moving his hand to hold it instesd.

"Its easier to keep you balanced like this." Roman smiled at Logan, who simply nodded and gave him a smile.

"I suppose it is."

______

After the roller rink, Virgil would smile back at Patton and greet him in the mornings, so...friends.

Logan watched then as Roman was ranting.

"Maybe an amusement park date? They could go through the haunted house and when Patton gets scared virgil can comfort him!"

Logan turned to face Roman."why not just a simple food date?"

But before either could continue, patton and virgil walked over.

Virgil took a breath."ok so..this weekend is a renisance fair and you guys took us skating so...i thought it might be...fun. To take you two too."

Roman and logan shared a quick glance, before returning to the two in front if them.

"I believe it would be quite...fun." Logan said. Roman nods in agreement.

"Yes! I do so love the renaissance fair!"

"So cool...see you guys then."

_____

Roman was dressed like a prince before the renisance fair.

Logan walked beside him."really Roman?"

Roman rolled his eyes."oh what, cant handle prince charming?"

Logan glanced at him."maybe if he was actually charming."

Offended princey noises came from Roman.

"Guys! Over here!" Patton was waving with Virgil beside him in a dark purple cloak.

Walking over, roman said."appears i wasnt the only one to dress up."

Virgil shrugged."I just like purple."

Roman rolled his eyes but smiled. "Hey hey hey! Emo nightmare, how about you take Patton to get a costume, while i help logan get one! Im thinking a bard."

Logan gave a sigh but nods."perhaps, but lets see what all there is."

Patton gasped and grabbed virgil's arm."oh what if I dress up as a belly dancer with the cute skirts?"

Virgil gave Patton a soft smile."why not? Come on." And took Patton to dress up.

Roman lead logan to a different costume shop.

_____

"Why do i have to dress up? The plan was to get Patton and virgil alone while being here to make sure things go well..."

Roman tightened his vest."oh shush, you look good anyways."

"I feel ridiculous."

"I could make you wear the poofy pants too..."

"Althought i love costume accuracy, i also have dignity."

"You do?"

Logan smacked roman on the head, not enough to hurt, but enough to make him get the point.

If Roman ever got a point that is.

"Awe come on lo, it was funny." Roman laughed a bit as he put a dark blue hat with a feather on top of his head. Logan looked at himself in the mirror.

"Ok its....not bad."

Roman grinned."trust me specs, i know how to make any guy slay, and besides, a prince always has a bard..." He wiggled hia eyebrows.

Logan didnt look away from the mirror. "Im not singing about you...or at all."

"Awe come on...please?"

"Nope."

Roman made offended prince nosies again, and logan let out a small laugh.

"Coen on, lets go check up on patton and Virgil." Logan Stated, holding his hand out to Roman, you took it smiling.

"Lets."

____

Virgil was laughing. Full on laughing. Patton was in a crop top and a skirt and so much of him jingled as he walked, but virgil was laughing at one of the puns Patton said.

Logan resisted the urge to groan as he heard patton tell another, making virgil laugh more.

Roman was still holding Logan's hand."well they seem to be getting on along fine without us."

Logan nods."they are quite cute together."

Roman nods and shook his head a bit."not cuter than us, i mean, these outfits are awesome."

Logan stared at roman for a bit, before giving him a smile and nods."yeah...not cuter than you."

Roman blinked."cuter than me? What do you-?"

"May i kiss you?"Logan asked with a straight (gay) face, but his ears were turning red from blushing.

Roman was blushing as well. "Oh uh, kiss me?"

Logan nods."yes I..."he took a breath." Perhaps...patton and virgil are not the..only ones with possible romantic feelings that could lead to a relationship."

Roman smiled and took logan's other hand. "Hmm...maybe you are right...but no, you cannot kiss me."

Logan blinked."oh I..im sorry i won't ask agian.."

Roman laughed a bit and put a hand on his cheek."you cant kiss me because I want to kiss you." And the prince proceeded to do so.

_____

From across the way, Patton giggled."awe virge, look at them, they finally got together."

Virgil smirks and held parent's hand. "Yeah, they did, good idea to invite them along." Viegil gave patton's cheek a kiss.

Patton giggled and leaned on virgil's shoulder a bit,"i love you."

Virgil smiled at him." I love you too."

For the send a character... Pidge?

First impressionMy first experience with Pidge was seeing her on the front page of Wysp.  I liked the art and the character looked cool, but I had no idea who she were (nor what her gender was because…well, that’s an entire plot point in the series lmfao) and I honestly just assumed she was an OC.  But then I saw someone else draw her and I was like “wait a minute…who is this character and what are they from bc I wanna see it” (still didnt know their gender)

Impression nowPIDGE IS EVEN BETTER WITH CONTEXT I love pidge…a lot…precious pidgeon child.  Giving a more formulated response, Pidge is in my opinion one of the two best characters from Voltron (tied with Shiro, with Allura somewhere nearby behind and Keith behind that) because she has an established motivation, backstory, and distinct flaws and good personality traits despite being a genius who isn’t a dick.  She also has quite a few personality quirks, which can do wonders to make a character more relatable even if they arent a great character (which Pidge is, but you know what I mean).  Lance and Hunk, ‘least in my opinion, dont have much in the way of motivations nor backstory.  Keith was given the barebones of a backstory in season 2, but it should’ve been established in season 1 how much he knew about his home life if they wanted to play that card.  Because right now, I dont know how much he knows/remembers.  Am I supposed to assume he has some kind of amnesia?  WHY WERENT THESE THINGS ESTABLISHED??  But this isn’t the place for my grips with 3/5ths of the voltron team lmao, so I’ll leave it at that.  I have tons more I could say, but yeah-  Pidge has the best of Lance and Hunk (can take a joke, can make a joke, has a likeable/relatable personality), the best of Shiro and Keith (one hell of a backstory, a lot of mystery and potential surrounding it, can call out Lance on his shit when need be), and the best of Allura and Coran (proper motivations, plus I’d say Allura’s a decently well-rounded character as well.  Her personality just doesnt pop as much as the paladins’.  Coran falls into the same role as Lance and Hunk, but he does have an excuse since he’s clearly a comic relief.  But Sokka was also a comic relief so that’s not a very good excuse.)

Favorite momentThat one time in the season 1 episode where she was playing with a robot while all the other paladins were talking about something important.  She seemed so happy, I love

Idea for a storyMmmmmmMMMM I’d love for Pidge’s relationships with the other paladins to be explored.  I dont really know what Pidge thinks of Keith or Lance, and the most I can do is assume her opinions of Coran, Shiro, and Hunk.  (Her opinions of Coran and Shiro are clear enough I suppose, but I’d love to see more development.  Any development of Coran is greatly welcomed, and I love Shiro and Pidge’s brother-sister relationship ;-; but the most I’ve seen of Hunk and Pidge is hanging out without any establishment of how much they like each other.  Since they’re both engineers, I can assume that they like one another, but whether they’re good friends or just kinda acquaintances is beyond me.)  I dont really have any ideas for Pidge and Keith or Pidge and Lance, since I know nothing about their opinions of one another other than Pidge likes to yell at Lance for being a flirt.  But I dont know, send them off on a mission together, make them bond damn it.  A scene developed to establishing Pidge’s relationship with Coran and/or Hunk would be pretty easy, though; maybe the three of them are working on a machine together and they have a heart-to-heart?  I dunno, something like that.  I cant think of any ideas for Shiro and Pidge’s relationship being developed either, but it’d probably have something to do with her father and brother.

Unpopular opinion…Does my opinion on Lance/Hunk/Keith that I expressed earlier in this writing count? //shot// because everyone loves Pidge and I do too so I dont think I have any unpopular opinions about her lmao

Favorite relationshipPidge and Shiro!!  Like I said, I love the brother-sister relationship that they have.  Unless this meme is referring to romantic relationship, in which case nnnnnnnnoooooonnnnneeee Pidge is 14 and everyone else is over 16 (or…I’m assuming Allura is) so no thanks (I feel sick every time I see Pidge x Shiro shipart, god, why would you taint their relationship like that-)

Favorite headcanonHonestly playing into the last one slightly, I’d have to say ace/aro-pidge |D totally a biased choice, but whatever, isnt that what headcanons are for?  But yeah, I’d be beyond happy if the series ended with Pidge not showing a lick of interest in romance.  I’m really hesitant to call a character that hasn’t flat-out said “I’m not interested in getting married or dating” ace/aro, because a character can still be straight, gay, bi, or pan without it being shown in the show.  Like 90% of my characters show no interest in romance because there’s just no room for it in my stories, but they aren’t all ace/aro (I have too many characters that I’ve decided are ace/aro or ace-spec as it stands haha, I dont need to assume more of them are just because I havent decided on a sexuality).  But even if it’s just not explored with Pidge, I’d be beyond happy with that.  But like, if they wanna explore romance with Pidge, that’s fine, who cares?  It’s just a headcanon, and you can still have a headcanon that conflicts with canon so long as you dont force it onto people (and dont force the canon onto people too).  Just…please dont make her date any of the current Voltron team?  Please?
