Ilun: What's your favorite opera?

(kid) Keith: Her favorite opera is Winfrey

Ilun: *gives Keith a confused look*

Krolia: *embarrassed*

(kid) Keith: What? Opera Winfrey, ma. You watch it every day

Krolia: *laughs awkwardly* He's kidding

Klance/Laith Soulmates

He couldn’t do this right now he just couldn’t. He heard Lance calling him back. He didn’t look back he wasn’t ready yet he’d told Blue -no Lance- that. He continued to walk away he didn’t know to where he just needed to leave. The tingling sensation on his wrist just wouldn’t disappear he knew Lance was writing to him trying to understand, talk it out still be friends but more, soulmates were meant to be romantic, -though rarely they would be platonic- he knew Lance would want more eventually, but he can’t well not yet.

He looked at where his walking had brought him The Blade of Marmora, the Martial art school run by the Marmora family, his family. He took out his key and opened the door he closed it without looking back by reflex. He unlatched the door labeled staff room, the soft scent of lavender mixed with lemon that most people thought it odd or weird smell on the other hand he adored it.

He walked past his Ojichan’s -or Kolivan as him and Acxa had started to calling him by his first name- desk a picture of himself with Acxa next to him their one of their mother’s hand on each of their shoulders his uncles Thace and Ulaz standing next to mom and Regris in between them Kolivan and Hal-aneoji -Antok- had arms around each other shoulders. All of them smiling a rare sight.

He sat down and finally looked down at his arm the words made him frown slightly ‘why did you leave?’ Lance’s writing was messy and Keith could feel the pain and hurt radiating off of it. ‘I told you I wasn’t ready yet’ he new Lance would almost immediately write back ‘but why?’ 

Why? A simple question with a very complicated answer. Keith was scared that’s why, he didn’t want Lance to leave mom had left and chosen to take Acxa with her -Keith knew that was what his dad told him a it was a lie but, still- then dad left for a bar and only came back when the someone lit the house on fire came in when everyone told him not to and threw Keith out. Then the foster parents left, or just weren’t there for him, and then the Shiroganes came Mrs. Shirogane died Shiro and him got separated in the system -they meet back up a few years back when Keith moved into town-. And then Keith found out the entire time he was in the system Kolivan and Antok were trying to get custody for him. Unable to because they weren’t citizens of The United States Of America.

During the time when he lived with the Shiroganes he found out and was so confused as to why? -why did it take so long to find out? why couldn’t they just have picked him up or something? Why not mom where was her and Acxa in all of this?- After Mrs. Shiroganes death, the Marmora family got custody, he moved to Korea and they became his family. They moved to Texas started a martial art school, Ulaz got a job as a doctor, Antok and Kolivan as security guards, Thace as a cafe worker, along with Regris who meet his soulmate Ilun.

Through it all there was a constant his soulmate nicknamed  ‘Blue’ or ‘Sharpshooter’ who he always told everything, the one person he new he could trust, the eye of the hurricane, the silence in the screams.

He thought Lance knew that so when he came and he figured it out Keith ran, he left his soulmate the person who has always there for him person he would talk to when he felt insignificant, he left like everyone did to him.

Now he sat there Lance waiting for an answer so enthusiastic about meeting his one true love, his other half and he just straight up left.

‘Cause I was scared. Scared you would leave, and then I left you, I’m sorry.’ He didn’t say sorry often the red ink was there for a moment before he realized what lance would ask or think about doing. He knew Lance was probably just gonna ask to meet up. Keith heard the door open. Immediately recognizing the voices Lance’s and Acxa’s. Of course his twin sister betrayed him. He walked out of the staff room.

“Hi Sharpshooter.”

Acxa just smirked and walked out.

“Hi Samurai, do you wanna talk? Or something?”

“Sure”.

Got all Japanese and Korean words from google translate so please correct me if wrong.

Hal-Abeoji is Korean for Grandpa 

Ojichan is Japanese for Grandfather

Edit: I actually forgot to add a title I was laughing after I added one.

Blade of Marmora Members: Unmasked

Antok:

His beard trails completely down his neck and connects with fur on his chest

His fur was a lavender color when he was younger

His blind eye was the result of a laser pistol and is the key reason he never removes his mask

Most other blades do not have issues removing their masks when not on missions

Regris:

His spikes are flexible and rubbery, not very sharp

He is not a full-blooded galra

He was the youngest official blade before Keith

Ilun

She cannot for the life of her keep that strand of hair in her bun

She has a crescent shaped mark on her ear

She has a particular talent for lock-picking

Vrek

Vrek is mute and has been from birth

He communicates primarily with the blades gesture codes commonly used during stealth missions

His hair is unusually dark because he often forgets to wash it

Dragged Away - Ilun & Vrek

Another wave of black flashes filled the sky, seeking any living beings to feed off their quintessence. The effect of the Komar, just on much smaller scale.

Not small enough, though. They were still being struck, dying in their dozens as they fought for themselves, for their brothers and sisters, and the brotherhood itself.

But despite their extraordinary skill and drive, the Blade of Marmora were falling too fast to the Druids' dirty ways. They were taking those masked bastards out but at a horrible cost.

Bodies of both Druids and Blades littered the ground, with the majority belonging to the latter.

(read it on ao3)

Vrek flinched when a net of black flashes cut through the air at his head's level, merely a pace from him. His head snapped towards the source just to see about a dozen Blades throwing themselves at the Druid at the same moment. He watched as at least five were struck, three dead before they hit the ground. But enough luxite blades tore into his body and the Druid imploded.

A hand landed on his shoulder and immediately squeezed, letting him know it was Ilun. He glanced over his shoulder at her, noting the numerous scratches and dents in her armour.

'We need to get to Kolivan,' Ilun said, pointing in the direction where their leader has been last seen about half a varga ago.

Vrek nodded, a grim expression settling on his face. It was hard enough out there, a good distance away from the focal point of the assault.

They began their trek through the rubble, their aching limbs feeling too heavy and heavier still every time they aided their siblings in their battles.

Vrek wasn't sure if they had any real chances of winning. But, whether he liked it or not, it was their best chance. And dying at his trusted companions' side was preferable to being picked out one by one, no doubts about that.

But his heart was still heavy with his grief and desperation. They had worked so hard to get to where they did. They had kept their existence a secret for so many deca-phoebs, even under Zarkon's own nose. And now they could very well all die here, on this planet.

Not for the first time, he wondered what happened to Voltron, and a shadow of a doubt sneaked into his heart. If Voltron was gone, the Coalition was in shambles, and now they were wiped out, there would be no one left to fight.

Sendak, all the little warlords, and the Druids would bring chaos and destruction to the universe.

Perhaps it was better they were so likely to die here. Seeing all they had worked for so hard being reduced to ashes had been painful enough as it was. Losing even more would be a devastating blow.

Still, if they did survive this hell, they could rebuild. They had created the underground once and would do so again.

It would really make things easier if Kolivan was alive, though. They needed to find him and ensure his safety. Well, survival. Vrek was perfectly fine with survival.

Finally, one they climbed a lone standing wall of a fallen building, they managed to locate the Marmoran leader. He was cut and tired, but very much leading the defence still.

In Vrek's opinion, Kolivan would have made a great Paladin. Not that he'd be pleased with their leader leaving to pilot one of the Lions. No. Definitely not pleased at all.

'I'm worried about the left flank.'

Vrek tilted his head to one side and looked in the proper direction at the sound of Ilun's voice. It did seem to weaken there. It still held but reinforcing seemed like a good idea.

Vrek motioned to Ilun to follow him and started to slip down the wall.

In the end, what they had seen didn't even matter. There was a shivering travelling through the wall, a loud cracking noise, and the structure exploded in a rain of debris, laced through with Druid magic, the twisted black fingers reaching for any who dared come close enough.

Still falling, Vrek felt how a big piece of the structure hit him square in the chest, denting his armour to the point where horrible pain exploded in his ribcage.

The next thing he knew, he was hitting the ground in a heap of limbs. Hard.

Then came the black.

The pain was extraordinary, he decided, when something tugged at his back, his legs dragging over a mass of bricks and chipped stones.

His head was spinning and his vision swam as nausea swept through him. He could taste the sour taste of blood on his tongue and his breathing was laboured.

Bumping into things below and behind him definitely didn't help.

He managed to twist his head a little and saw the underside of Ilun's chin. Her mask was disabled and the thin fur covering her face was matted with blood and dust. There was a big tear in the arm of her suit and she was limping.

And yet she still dragged him away from the site of the explosion.

He could barely move, his energy completely reduced to almost nothing. It seemed like a Druid had landed at least one actual hit.

He disabled his mask, catching Ilun's attention. He gave her a tiny smile that she tried to mirror but was interrupted by a coughing fit that had wreaked through Vrek's body and dragged a trickle of blood down the corner of his mouth.

It was terrifyingly quiet. Not silent, not quite yet, but the sounds were muffled and distant, as if a lot of the fighting had ceased. It was hard to say how much time had passed or whose numbers were greater.

They were getting away from the battlefield and a flicker of anger burned hot inside his chest, even if just for a tick.

Of course Ilun was getting them away, she had no choice. They were in no fit state to fight, obviously. His ribs were broken at best, and he could be haemorrhaging internally at worst. If he was, he was as good as dead. No medics, no medical equipment. If one suffered a critical injury, they were already dead. It was as simple as that.

He could only hope Ilun wasn't seriously wounded. She might just be the only Blade remaining.

With a heavy sigh, Vrek resigned himself to his fate, be it death or an unwinnable fight against all too powerful foes.

He wasn't sure which one he dreaded more.

Funsen

That’s all of the lovely Galra we got this season! There were a bunch of  bg Galra too, but that’s for another post. This one feels bloated enough already.

[carlottastudios]

If someone ever asks me to prove both my intense love for the Blade of Marmora and my fixation on detail in a single post, this is the one I’ll show them! Now, with everything in this post said, I realize that there is one blade I forgot: an unnamed blade (or an ally of the blades) dressed as a galra soldier in season 5 who helped Ilun, Vrek and Keith get to the Kral Zera undetected, a blade Ilun referred to as “brother” (though it’s not clear whether or not he’s her actual brother or it’s just that fellow blades call each other by sibling-like terms). I’m really sorry that I forgot to include that blade in my calculations. In my defense, though, I did a fuck-ton of counting for this post already! So that still leaves a lot of unknown blades who died in canon…May they rest in peace, those brave, unsung heroes who took the hard, unforgiving route of turning against their ruler and dedicating their lives to fighting a nigh-impossible war, all because it was the right thing to do. Rest in peace, wonderful knife fam. There’s at least one fan who won’t forget you! *wipes tears* And, on a lighter note, look at that guys! So much room potential OCs or character ideas! Ripe for the picking!!! Why are so few if any VLD fans (those that are left) not taking advantage of this?! Aside from being busy with other things, which is honestly a valid reason. Anyway, guys, this is my last post for this week! I won’t even be posting anything this weekend because, as of tomorrow, the Sound of Silence for DeviantART begins! For those who need a quick reminder: it’s a way to protest against DeviantART Eclipse and the admins’ decision to try and make Eclipse permanent for everyone as of May 20. I am, as you can imagine, very much against this. Honestly, I’m sure I would be even if I did like Eclipse! Especially because of how it apparently resembles another site called artstation, so much that some call it close to plagiarism. I’m not entirely sure of this, since I avoid Eclipse and I am not on artstation, but it is very suspicious. Long story short, I’m not even going to visit DeviantART on May 1, May 2 or May 3, so, naturally, I won’t be posting anything there this weekend. If any of you want to join in on the Sound of Silence protest (which I highly encourage), I encourage you to check out this journal with all of the information: https://www.deviantart.com/howl-n-hart/journal/The-Sound-Of-Silence-DA-Statement-838956496. So that’s all from me guys! Hope you all enjoyed this little dump of Voltron-centric posts on my end! But don’t worry: there’s even more on the way! But that’s for the weekend after next! Until then, bye! DISCLAIMERS: Voltron: Legendary Defender © DreamWorks & World Events Productions the screenshots I used were all taken by me from Voltron: Legendary Defender (Netflix)
