Hello everyone! 💖

Gonna be slowly posting all the art that I haven't posted here yet, especially all the comics lol.

Here's the silly same age Sheith AU ( this is pt. 2)

It starts here

[karo-li]

i've been feeling like shit for a while and i thought "hey lets redraw this cozy art of lance from 3 years ago"... but then smile turned into a grin, bc "i'm trying my best but it's not working and i know it's only in my head"... welp yeah, angst i guess. feeling like your not good enough is the worst. there are times when you are proud of yourself but then are also days when u just, just don't wanna exist bc of that.

woah, it turned out really sad, didn't mean that. BUT good things, SUMMER STARTED! ♡⁠(⁠>⁠ ⁠ਊ⁠ ⁠<⁠)⁠♡

Krolia joining a Mom Forum just to troll people:

Post: "My son is in junior varsity now!"

Krolia: "That's nice. My son recently spearheaded a covert operation to take down a terrorist column, and liberated a burning planet with nothing but his squad of lesbians and a barely-functional black market cargo ship."

-

Post: "Share your pictures! Here's my child on their first day of college!"

Krolia: [posts grainy, blurry cryptid shots of Keith stalking through the desert at 3AM]

-

Post: "How do you guys teach your kids to deal with problems? We're having some bullying issues at school."

Krolia: "If they're not decimating their enemies by at least age 5, you're doing it wrong. Vrepit sa."

-

Post: "Ladies! Camping beauty tips? We're off for the weekend!"

Krolia: "Remember the S's of camouflage: Stillness, Shape, Shadow, Shine, Silhouette, Signature, and Spacing. You must adapt to resemble your environment, and disrupt your presentation to the enemy. When disguising your weapon, avoid wrapping foliage or cover around the functional portions of a firearm-"

Post: "Creative ideas for hide and seek and tag games?"

Krolia: "Remember, when stalking a target, avoid looking directly at the back of their head, as they may be able to sense your approach."

-

Post: "Is it okay to let my son go out with his friends late?"

Krolia: "Group bonding is essential. The warriors your son spends time with will help teach him right from wrong in battle. He must learn how to operate within a small unit."

Both Lance and Shiro are "I know a guy for this!" type of people but while most of the time with Lance it's "I know a guy!" (Excited) with Shiro it's "I know a guy...." (unfortunately)

Okay Dany, convince me to ship Kidge. What is the appeal of this ship? (genuinely asking because I've only watched season 1 and I'm curious)

⁉️👀⁉️

Not gonna lie anon, your question caught me off guard at 2am on a Sunday,, I was like 😳

“Oh shit someone's asking me?? About a ship?!” The intimidating question was so real and all I could do was literally go on a feral tirade on why I love Kidge so much and legit made no sense and just kept wondering in between moments of clarity on how I can properly defend myself on why I like the ship 😩 (not that I need to or have too, enough time has passed where I can say,,, just let me ship and be blissfully happy UwU, I do not car e anymore lol)

I will say that I want to keep this brief (as best I can, because heck I went feral just talking to myself on why I like the ship), I’m not the best at explaining things like some other amazing people might in the ship tag. But take what I say with a grain of salt and hope I don’t scare you off with whatever I do type.

**Note: This is not entirely brief liike how I wanted and I hate myself,, feck,,, I failed step one immediately**

Imma do bullet points, thoughts and prayers y'all cause I did my best to explain my chaotic thoughts lol ;;w;;

First and foremost! I definitely recommend that you watch the show in the general scope of a viewer and not just focusing on a ship. I think everyone should and would be aware of that~ but much like my initial watch I wasn’t paying much attention to the show and lore and story because I was distracted~. It wasn’t with Kidge at the time, but it definitely impeded my watch in the beginning as well as me falling off the fandom for a while into season 3-5. Plus, me rushing through those seasons when season 7 was coming around like, blood hell Alpha.

I think it goes without saying because the show is really good and love the found family aspect of it most importantly 👏🏼👏🏼 I am a sob and a fecking mess about this trope and I will forever cry over it.

I highly recommend watching the show in increments too instead of just binging it because you will lose information much faster 😭 and also it is just so fun to look forward to watch it the next day. I had so much fun this month just rewatching the show and am kind of depressed that it’s over lol 😔

Don’t cry because it’s over be happy for the journey (and all the fanfics you can reread again with full, understanding knowledge 😌)

Additionally, it is fun to reflect on the episodes re-watched, to better retain the info, at least for me, I can be slow with digesting new information (especially after so long), but it also made me giddy just talking to myself about the silly or serious shenanigans happening in the episode.

Second of all! I don’t want to convince you to ship Kidge 😩 I want you to convince yourself on why they would be good and cute together from your perspective! 👏🏼👏🏼

I personally think that they just work so well together, and while their initial interactions are short and brief, I love seeing them just standing next to each other or sharing panels during the fight sequences through much of the early seasons! I will say liike season 7 (even season 8) is like a holy grail for Kidge shippers because— 😩👏🏼 AH, took a while to get there, but we made it besties!!

Considering you’ve only seen season 1, I won’t dive into too many spoilers! To the best of my ability, I will say, I tended to focus on where the two stood by one another a lot and how they interacted in their lions and as Voltron and outside of it! ~

1. They both have family members/familial others on the trip to the Kerberos mission and just the whole concept of them looking for their respective familial figures.

Like that’s is the first part of the whole “WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL 😩” the way the two of them are shown to fight tooth and nail to save and go out of their way to figure out where their family members are is just 🤧✨ I truly believe if there was an opportunity to grow and develop them together it would have been over this.

I also find it incredibly fascinating that they are two of the most prominent characters that dive into their backstories in flashback sequences through the seasons ahead (we got a glimpse of Pidge's backstory in season 1 with a few more down the line). And how similar the two are in some of their experiences like school and being bullied and how their familial figures guide them (Shiro to Keith and Matt, and her father, to Pidge).

Hell, all of this could have been played as platonic all the way through or something more. Like I was there for it 👏🏼 I feel like this is a strong cemented stone on why I ship them a lot and keep me going on the potential their relationship could have been if they knew one another before the pilot episode. I just think it would have been cool, two conspiracy theorist bypassing the government to search for the truth!

2. They are literally the right and left arms of Voltron; the sword and shield ✨

I sincerely wish so much that again their relationship could have been developed more in the early seasons with this aspect, especially since we see how developed both Lance and Hunk are with each other (I mean they are literally best friends at the Garrison, I needed most of that with Kidge especially since they would be the opposite to them so it would have great to see them develop together as the arms of Voltron 🤧).

I just think it would have been nice to see it play out on how well they work together on the field and off it. I will say! It isn't all lost, especially into season 3 and like late season 6 and onwards! I say the dynamic of Shiro and Pidge in their lions and as Voltron currently is what kind of develops in Keith and Pidge later! I hope you can make sense of that later on as you keep watching 👀!

3. Other general things about their tropes and personalities just give me more fuel to ship them, such as:

Them both being introverted to heck in their respective ways; the techie nerd and the emo loner like,,, sillies!

I am always someone who loves looking at character color palettes and how they mesh well together; so believe me I lost my mind when Kidge shippers literally came up with Kidgemas cause of their red and green colors and I just *screams* 🌿🔥

I love both their personalities and how similar, yet different, they are to one another in that respect; they both have a drive and fire in them, their sarcasm and jibs to the others is so funny.

I'm not over season 1 episode,,, 2? Of the team training together and like,,, first of all, the two's small spat because Pidge couldn't concentrate during the mental exercise, but literally leaping to her defense when Allura threw food goo at her like,, Ah I just love her sarcasm to Allura then "The princess of what, your not ours--" and i just like go off queen, but also please no fighting 😩 y’all are going to be family ah,,, i love my dysfunctional family so much ya'll

Keith making a face at the action and immediately "Go loose, Pidge" LIKE AH! 👏🏼👏🏼😩😩

But they also have their calm moments of serene clarity and peace that is heighted with their interactions with the other characters as well!

I also noticed how they both tend to be the mature ones in some cases and some situations when around the other or a shared mature figure like Shiro; Keith by like a lot, clearly, but I was increasingly surprised by how Pidge maintained some serious temperament during missions, especially when around Hunk and most definitely around Lance lol (It is funny tho how serious and mildly annoyed she gets to his flirtatious ways, but can also immediately just let her guard down and have giddy fun with him when something catches her interest, it's so cute and hilarious 😌).

I also just love their development through the show of just letting their guard down around the others overtime! Especially with Keith and how his lone wolf personality melts away (believe me I lost my mind at how many sweet moments were between him and Hunk and IM just here crying at how Keith was able to smile and have fun around him 😭 💛❤️ got me all emotional i fecking criED). As well as Pidge with the others, especially after she told them about her true identity and how she wants to be able to work with them better without any secrets (On a side note, I wish there was more moments with Allura and Pidge earlier on ;;;o;;; SHE LEARNED ALTEAN FOR HER AND CORAN AND IM JUST,,, sweetie I love you! YOUR HONOR THEY ARE SISTERS! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼).

Ah shit, is that season 1 or 2? ;;w;; well, she learns it a nice fact! My girl is such a genius like how did she not like,,, move up grades in school, she is so intelligent , i could never. Not gonna lie, I feel like the team wouldn't be as successful with intel if they didn't have her and her tech wizard skills because DAMN.

Also how Keith was so up and arms when Pidge wanted to leave initially like!? Please ;;w;; sir has abandonment issues, please don't leave sweetie (´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥｀); but also a similar scene occurs, very briefly, later on in reverse :) so take that as you will! It is very small, almost negligible if you aren't paying attention to it.

It is made better by a concluding panel that Kidge shippers just lose their minds over ! (Me, I am kidge shippers and I lost my mind over and over because they are just — *cries and sobs* perfecto!)

Very minor thing, but the height difference (in general im weak in the knees for this) always gets me crying, screaming, throwing up, going feral on the ground. My dearest Pidge, she may gain some legs later in life, but like she is definitely still tiny and I sob, give us short queens some representation because it is so hard out here, and we will kill you (not Allura bending down to her height in that episode she was planning to leave; how NOT to talk to a short person Allura lol 😩)

I think it goes without saying that the whole team, including Keith, are protective of Pidge like as they should be and I just *grins mischievously* can say with confidence that he do 😌

Definitely more of a personal headcanon, and there is a Kidge art of it floating around somewhere in the tag, if they actually had more moments and trained together, but I love Pidge being taught on how to defend herself, especially one on one and like her managing to take down Keith in training and he's just like "⁉️⁉️😳⁉️⁉️” God, I love a woman that can kick my ass trope *chokes*.

I am a sucker for hearing their voices and tone and emotions, so you know for damn well I am listening to them just say the others name in a soft or sarcastic tone lol (I love Steven Yeun's voice, my Glenn 😭, I am a mess for not appreciating Keith before in my initial watch of the show).

Ah, I can go on and off about them, especially about the later seasons but like you're just going to have to take a look of it yourself as you go into it 😌

Once again, I definitely recommend you watch the show for what it is in its storytelling and lore and character development; you can keep a close eyed view of Kidge in the background, but definitely rewind for the moments or stop and pause or rewind for the information given in story.

I hope you enjoyed my nonsense speak and take something away from it or ignore it altogether. I don't mind, I want you, overall, to convince yourself on why you would like to ship Kidge as you watch the show, if at all! We are all here for a fun and good time after the show's initial debut 😌🌿🔥

Have a small doodle of Kidge! My first time drawing them after like 4 1/2 years and I am just,,, yelling at my growth in art and how cute I made them look; mild spoiler, I suppose, of their older selves appearances~ Hope you like! 😌✌🏼

Enjoy your day anon!

[whatsupspaceman]

tired of being silent on the issue. let me in the writers room NOW

[slav-every-day]

[makorragal-312]

Here are my thoughts after tonight’s episode...

Am I worried about Buck x Kameron? Nope.

Am I worried about Eddie x Marisol? Kinda.

Am I annoyed because a certain show runner is clearly doing everything in her power to keep Buck and Eddie from becoming a couple by pairing them up with every single woman that so much breathes in their direction and who either narratively or realistically don’t make sense as potential partners and that it’s becoming more and more evident that she's doing this as a final FUCK YOU to Buddie shippers/911 fans before 911 leaves FOX and moves to ABC?

...Still making heads or tails on that.

[autistic-ranpo]

is it klasual now

[youngerfrankenstein]

Wonder if the apparent nightmare of the Voltron (2016) fandom has died down enough to give it a go?

Combining mecha are fun.

[voltrons-legendary-defender]

The worldbuilding in Voltron and why I hate it so much but maybe it gets an excuse because it is aimed towards underdeveloped brains but like cmon,

Starting with the most obvious, the fact that everything and everyone speak American English (but not read okay...) like there's no mention of translators AT all. Although with a variety of species I guess it's best to ignore it. In my rewrite though, yes the paladins, Allura use translators. But they do take the time to learn each other's languages. It's pretty much required by the Galran law to have a translator when traveling, or knowing some Galran.

The paladins breathing on different planets. Voltron isn't a show that can be grounded but...a little realism wouldn't hurt....for the sake of drama that's all. In my rewrite all carbon based life can breathe the same atmosphere but some planets? Altea? Sure, Olkarian? No.

Speaking of planets, some are questionable. I left my document of the planets on my laptop that explodes if I dare open it, so I'm going off memory here. Daibazaal was clearly impacted by another planet yet...Daibazaal could be considered a dead planet before it was even killed. The bi Bo bi planet, elongated objects are rare in space so I can't imagine how a planet functions shaped like that.

The Balmera...? In season 8 we see a different species which, does the Balmera produce different species or do different species habitate the creature. Well in my rewrite the Balmera is just the Balmera. (Anyone who can survive can live there)

It's r o u g h l y acknowledged that the 10,000 year difference has left Coran (mostly) and Allura out of the loop. But there could be so much more done with it. Like Allura/Coran should speak an old timey version of whatever the Altean language is. They shouldn't understand the new social constructs, they'll probably adapt more to the Earthlings behaviors.

The wonderous space phenomenons.....Keith and Krolias journey can cause time dilation, NOT seeing each others memories. It's clear that was a lazy attempt at exposition. Then that random thing in season 7 when the paladins got stranded. In season 8 when Pidge was tweaking. And so much more. You can expect this all gone in my rewrite.

How they managed to wormhole an entire planet to Earth with no complications will forever confuse me

The Galra species should be extremely altered due to being out in space for such a long long time. It's a surprise that they don't colonize planets.

There's no particular reason why Alteans and Galrans (not sure abt other species) live for a looong amount of time, and I don't mean Zarkon or Honerva....or Lotor. In general it seems like they live for around 300-900 years but their anatomy would have to look more like the Balmera (s1) if that were possible. Or they would be less complex. They can still outlive humans but not by a whole millenia

Space would actually be deadly for Shiro who has muscle dystrophy(?)

NAXELA IS SO STUPID, not even the explosion of stars could wipe out solar systems. SOLAR SYSTEMS. PLURAL. Even if it did it would take a long time for the explosion to reach another solar system.

Not a nit pick but I'm surprised that's nearly no mention of black holes. Edit: to clarify I mean the paladins aren't affected by them. Nor are the BoM because in s2(?) Their blades base is sandwiched between two black holes.....and is a blue star. I don't need to be an astronomer to know that star would be unstable, there'd be so much interference too? It's cool on paper, but theoretically NO

Why is magic required to wormhole??

Feel free to add more.

[bkbs-art]

Maybe this is an odd question, but what is it about the lighthouse au that y'all like so much??

genuinely curious, because I just throw lore at y'all and dip, so--I guess I feel like I haven't fleshed it out as much compared to the story I actually have for it in my head, but y'all are so sweet and enthusiastic abt it!! makes my heart swell GINOURMUSLY. I love drawing and adding to it so I really appreciate it, hehe.

[voltrohgodwhat]

Cons: I'm so tired of night terrors

Pros: Know exactly what I'm gonna do to Keith next when I get my brains on correctly

[hantheheart]

hey

Voltron Self insert lore cause FUCK YOU THIS IS MY BLOG HAHAHAHA

OKOKOKOK

like. 19 year old Han. Working as a cashier on a slow day getting dropped from their to some random planet in the back of fuck-all-nowhere that jsut HAPPENS to be getting invaded by the Galra and cause they don't don't know what the hell a human is, don't know what to do when they go "hey, I'm lost, can I go with you guys?" and then they follow a handful of Galra guys back to their ship who decide, "Yeah, we'll let someone higher up decide what to do, this is not why we were here."

And somehow get accepted as a new Galra soldier cause fuck yeah and then they're vibing in training and then a year later as a guard on the prison ship, they start bring the prisoners food here and there and some first aid and then that's just like for like… 3 years.

And then the Kerboros team show up and Han's like HEY WAIT A FUCKION MINUTE, I THOUGHT YOU BASTARDS DIDNT HAVE HUMANS and they hang out with Shiro a lot cause oh my god you're HUMAN And the two of them actually make plans to escape when he ends up getting out his own way so when he and the Paladins come get the prisoners themselves, Han helps them out and bails on the Galra to join team Voltron. They only really know parts of what happened to Shiro based on what he told them while they were both on the prison ship so they don't help too terribly much with the amnesia thing. And they're pretty good with fighting thanks to training with the Galra so they help train the Paladins, especially Lance and Hunk with blasters since that's why they're best with.

And when Shiro disappears at that one major fight with the Galra ( I think s2 finale? I can't remember) , they're trying so hard to find him cause they had a big dumb crush on him and they had been too anxious to follow through with anything and between Shiro's disappearance and Kuro's appearance, they get close with Allura and end up kinda-sorta dating? They hold hands and spend most of their free time together. And they're happy to see "Shiro" back but there's enough off they don't entirely trust him. I tried SO HARD to let them get the black Lion but I didn't think I was capable of doing that kind of leader stuff so there's a lot of time before Kuro of Han going into the Black Lion and begging it to let them pilot just until they found Shiro, just so the Lion could help, it HAD to be able to sense him, there's supposed to be some magic BOND pr some shit, JSUT HELP ME

And when Shiro DOES comes back, the three of them talk about it and POLYAMORY BABY and I never watched s8 so i dont know what happened, so in mine, they beat the Galra and everything went well until Han starts glitching Spiderverse style cause they're not from this universe the universe wants this foreign body OUT so the team tries everything to stabilize them until Han decides "i probably have to go back or this super painful thing that keeps happening is gonna kill me in front of these people i really care about so they leave on their own in one of the little ships and go back to the world they first warped to get wormholed back to their own world and basically crash the ship from inside the store they worked at and it explodes out the front and the cops and ambulances and military show up and Han just exists the ship and passes out and gets transported to a military base where they're detained. and the Paladins finally catch up and crash the Lions in the same place like "WHERE IS OUR IDIOT" and basically invade the military base and bring Han back and Pidge and Hunk Deus Ex Machina a way to get around the glitch thing and then its happily ever after!!! Shiro/Allura/Han get married and have a cute homestead with a barn where they have 4 dogs and a bunch of cats and Allura finds a chicken at a Farmer's Market and gets really attached so they have that too and Kieth and Lance get their shit together and Pidge and Hunk go on to do great things in their respective fields and Coran gets to do all the wonderful things he wants to in life and Shiro and Allura do work with all the intergalactic governments and get to come home tot heir goofy lover and I kicked Lotor in the dick because I hate him
