#voltron self ship

[voltron-self-shipping]

Welcome, Welcome!

Hi! I'm Quinn, and I am a self shipper! One of my main special interests is Voltron: Legendary Defender and I don't see enough Voltron self ships. That's why I made this blog!

I am 22, I am autistic with ADHD and I also like drawing :3

BYF

I have my own self ship blog, and this link will take you right to it! Quick warning, though: I romantically self ship with Keith. If you're uncomfortable with that, feel free to block my self ship blog! I will not be gushing openly on this blog, so you should be safe! (unless asked to gush, then I might)

I do not and will not post/reblog anything NSFW. Suggestive stuff will be tagged as '#suggestive'

Speaking of ships, I will have tags you can avoid. I only have these for romantic f/o's, though. Such ships will be tagged like this: # (character name) romantic f/o. For example, '#keith romantic f/o'

Please please PLEASE gush! I love hearing y'all talk about your f/os! Platonic, queer platonic and familial f/o's are also more than welcome!

DNI

Absolutely no pro/com ships. I will block on sight.

If you are anti Palestine I will also block on sight.

Just nothing illegal and don't be a dick.

Man ty for popping up on my dashboard. I miss voltron, but whenever I try to check what's up I get reaaally bad flashbacks as to how the fandom was. It's kinda worse when u accidentally triggered a community of a popular ship (its not kl@nce) :')))) hnghjgn idk how u do it

voltron is just. such a funny phenomenon. the show was like a C+ at BEST but we all stuck around anyway clinging to the hope that things would eventually improve and then they NEVER did. & so we all had to make do with literal scraps and we were RESOURCEFUL!!! 😭 I have honestly never seen a fandom where the fan content was so divorced from the actual source material like 💀💀💀 and i think this scarcity of good content forced people to be extra creative, which is why the voltron fandom was 1) so genuinely hilarious and 2) full of content producing MACHINES

Literally all we could do was just talk to each other. we were forced to survive off each other’s kindness & it made everyone super co-dependent. it really was a bunch of high schoolers forming parasocial relationships with other high schoolers; of course it got messy!!

also this is such a minor detail in the grand scheme of things but voltron hit tumblr at like the exact time social media became more accessible to people under 13 years old. and like. conflict and discourse is an inevitable part of fandom. but the end result was we had college students picking fights with LITERAL middle schoolers. and I genuinely cannot believe we all thought this was normal behavior!!!!!

[blanceyblance]

Im not even a full Allurance shipper but the P/ancers acting like Pidge was a better choice for Lance and that Lance should have noticed Pidge's crush feels kind of hypocritical.

Like, Allura shouldnt take notice of Lance's feelings even after they got closer and he became a source of support for her. But Lance should take notice of Pidge's "crush" because...why?

As much as I disagree with how Allurance was made. They actually got closer, they had moments where they could be vulnerable and be there for each other and be happy for the other's accomplishments. Their relationship was a mess but their friendship was sweet, and thats most of what Pidge and Lance had tbh. Yes, they were friends and cared for the other but it never felt more than just having fun together (sometimes) and Pidge just making fun of Lance. Lance was protective of her but that could be said for all the team.

It just feels superficial, even as a friendship

[fandom-smut-shots]

Hello my demons!

I recently read the sweetest fic involving neurodivergent Sakusa and I absolutely melted, and it inspired me to write a series of one shots about my own triggers and habits and things.

I would love to hear your opinions! Comment some ships or characters you'd like to see me write and I'll match them up to the prompts I have planned!

[bestshipsmackdown]

is mod a kinnie of any kind ??

Nah. I have my comfort characters and characters I call my spouses (mostly Aizawa from BNHA) and characters that I’m like “that’s my kid right there”. But I don’t tend to like the characters I can identify with, because a lot of it is stuff I’ve grown from or learned to not act in certain ways, and they drive me up the wall falling into situations that I’ve long ago grown out of.

[hydrasaura]

my favourite moment was when i kept talking about hira (and diana) to the point where people actually got to watch voltron and see her for like 1 episode or when i randomly sent a screenshot of her and they went like ''ooooh so she is real! i thought she was just user hydrasaura's imaginary friend''

[candylovesans-officialaskblog]

doing this bc no one will ask me. I also did this for all separate characters, bc i'm in way too many fandoms. I left a few prompts out bc i felt like it.

🌱 Keith (V:LD) (I know, I was literally 9 years old.)

🥀 False Gabriel (Mandela Catalogue) (Self explanitory.)

🎉 Orb Wheatley/Android Wheatley x OC (Portal) (My OC is named Sorren, they like tinkering/inventing, so they like making little things and upgrades for Wheats to test out. They also carry orb Wheatley around like a purse. (affectionate))

📦 Keith (V:LD) (I grew out of the fandom, and even though I'm back in it, (with a remade OC btw) I'm just not as big of a Keith fan as I used to be.)

🎵 Narrator x OC (TSP) (Sweet Hibiscus Tea-Penelope Scott, Your Stupid Face-Kaden Mackay, Home-Cavetown

📝 Death x Red Riding Hood based OC (PIB:TLW)

Red was no stranger to wolves, but she did not like the fact this one followed her around. Sure, she lived her life on the edge, but she was also cursed. Cursed to be stuck in a state between life and death. It had gone on for so many years, but she just couldn't die.

It was confusing, trying to bargain with a sorcerer to bring her mother and grandmother back from the dead. She apparently had managed to piss the sorcerer off, and was now sruck like this. Doomed to have danger waiting around every corner.

But it was okay, at least she had her new friend.

Oh, did she mention the fact her new friend is Death?

Straight up.

💢 Head Engineer Mark (ISWM) (He has a pretty good head on his shoulders. He's not the goodest golden retriever boy all the time, and in some cases, he actually despises the captain. He's still the goodest golden retriever boy, but he knows how to be smart.)

🚩 sans (Undertale) (Lazy, unmotivated, lack of empathy.)

💌 Howdy Pillar x OC (Welcome Home) (While bagging some of Daisy (OC)'s groceries, Howdy sneaks in a little love note. Daisy takes her groceries home, but doesn't unpack, because she forgot she was having a picnic with Julie.

She doesn't see the note until the evening, and sprints to the bugdega as Howdy is locking up. Howdy was a little sad, because he assumed the note got lost or he got rejected. Daisy runs over to him, jumps into his arms, (he catches her, ofc) and Daisy covers him in smooches <3)

💗 Wilford Warfstache x OC (Markipler Connected Universe) (Wilford is drunk off his ass, and is flirting with (his already partner,) Michael (OC.) As he progresses, it gets more emotional.

"Hey, Y'know I- *hic* absolutely adore you, right? I think I'm in love with you..")

🌺 Mordecai Heller x OC (Lackadaisy comic) (Will (OC) and Mordecai rarely cuddle, despite being in a relationship for quite a while. They don't even sleep in the same room half the time, due to Mordecai's need for cleanliness and order.

But whenever Mordecai comes home especially battered and bruised, or even bleeding out, Will cleans him up and they spend time reading together on the couch. The only thing that could be considered 'cuddling' is these moments where Will leans against Mordecai's shoulder or vice versa. I also headcannon Mordecai is not a fan of physical touch, even with an S/O.)

🛀 Rad x OC (OK KO, Let's be Heroes!) (When the Plaza is not being attacked, they like to go shopping at the Lakewood equivalent to a Sanrio store would be.)

🎀 Sammy Lawrence (BATIM) (His chest- I mean tibbies. I mean-)

🎠 Tintin (The Adventures of Tintin) (His perseverance)

🎡 Axel/Lea (Kingdom Hearts) (Just a simple sea salt ice cream date at the clock tower.)

💚 Stanford Pines (Gravity Falls) (I'm so jealous of his big smart brain.)

🌠 Bill Cipher X OC (Gravity Falls) (You see, it started as crackship. Bill would always flirt with Maxwell (OC) while dishing out death threats to them at the same time.

"You make me wish I had two eyes, so I could stare at you for twice as long."

"0///0???"

"I could also see your skin peeling off better too!")

🎇 IRL me x therapy (I actually have therapy, but my therapist thinks i'm cool.)

♨️ Susie, Kris, and OC (platonic) (Deltarune) (Peri (OC) is one of Kris and Susie's teachers. She ended up following them into the cyber world, and meeting Swatch.

Kris just silently cringed while Susie made fun of Peri for quote:

"Being a full ass adult, and still not knowing how to function around hot people. Get a damn grip.")

🍦Markipler egos x OC (Markiplier Connected Universe) (They all have mixed opinions of each other, but they all came to an agreement to not screw things up with Michael (OC.)

Keith Kogane x Fem!Reader Synopsis: The mission was simple. All Keith had to do was find the rebel's undercover operative and get them out of Haggar's ship before the coalition attacked it. He didn’t expect you to have no idea and fight back. But that was fine, or it was until he tried to stab you with a sleeping injection only for him to not be able to touch you with it. No this wasn't simple at all. Word Count: 1.5K Tags: Soulmate au

Soulmates are few and far between on earth. When you're younger you might go around pinching people to see if it hurts them but as you get older and realise how many people are on this planet you slowly give up and settle for someone else. Rarely would you ever see someone going around and hurting others in order to find their soulmate? Or even people hurting others accidentally and that person actually being their soulmate- it’s not really the culture. 

Keith never cared for it anyway, preferring to believe that he was destined to be forever alone because nobody could ever be the other half of him. His views are largely different to Lance's, who dreams about the day he would meet “the love of his life,” always daydreaming about someone he may never meet. 

Keith thought it was ridiculous but then again Lance’s parents were soulmates so maybe that instilled a false self of hope in the Cuban who rather than be worried he may never meet his soulmate especially now they were in space was now excited at the prospect that they could be in an entirely different galaxy- a thought that would make others like Keith feel hopeless. No matter how many times Keith tried to tell the boy not to get his hopes up this seemed to be one thing that Lance wouldn't let go of especially after Hunk found his soulmate Shay. 

When he was younger, Keith like many others loved the idea that there was somebody out there destined for you, a person who would always be there for you. The thought comforted him for a time before he decided that soulmates were a stupid idea and that even if he did have one it would be just his luck that he would never find them- not like he was one for romance anyway. 

Keith was glad he had a mission so he could get away from Lance and his whining after he had another dream about meeting his soulmate. It was exhausting hearing Lance talk about someone he was likely never going to meet and Keith was at the end of his tether, so being sent on a solo rescue mission was just what he needed to blow off some steam. He was glad that the rebels trusted him to do this. But, he was feeling even more pressure to prove himself to the coalition now Shiro was gone and he had taken up the mantle of the black paladin, leader of Voltron. 

It was a simple mission, the rebels had sent one of their operatives undercover on Haggar's ship where they had been gathering intel and now they needed to be extracted before the coalition launched its attack on the ship hoping that they could not only gather more intel from the ship on galra plans but also on Shiro's location. 

Hiding the Black lion behind an asteroid near the ship he jetpacked the rest of the way there. He could hear Pidge Talking to him via the comms on where to land and how to get into the ship undetected. Following her directions without a hitch, he quickly found himself inside the galran cruiser making his way towards where the operatives living quarters he put in the door code in that they had supplied the rebels with and was deflated to find nobody in the room. He quickly stepped inside, closing the door when he heard the sound of steps coming his way, deciding it would be better to just stay here until they came back. He tapped his feet on the ground in annoyance wanting to get this done quickly in hopes that they may have intel on Shiro or local prisoner ships at the least. He quickly hid on the wall of the door when he heard someone come up to it, sword drawn in case it wasn't the operative but before he could even see how it was a dagger was being shoved into his neck as he was backed up against the wall, his sword falling to the ground.

“Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” you spoke venom in your voice digging the dagger further into the boy's neck as it struggled to answer

“You're the operative?” Keith questioned before saying your name causing you to lose your hold on the dagger “I’m here to extract you, The rebels sent me” he tried to explain shocked that you had been able to catch him off guard

“That’s not true and I don’t work with the rebels, I work for Haggar” You haven't heard anything from the rebels so this must be a trap

“I don’t have time for this” Keith snapped as he pulled a syringe out of his pocket going to stab you in the hand when a force stopped it from even touching your hand.

You were having a similar predicament as when you tried to cut his hand off with your dagger it instead stopped as if an invisible force was blocking you. The two of you stared at each other in shock clearly knowing what this meant 

“I really don’t have time for this either” Keith grabbed your hand and dragged you out of your room once again following Pidge's directions getting out of the ship and into the Black lion with such ease it made him wonder why they didn’t infiltrate bases more often.

The journey back to the castle of lions was awkward, to say the least. After Keith had shown you that you in fact weren't getting kidnapped by a paladin of Voltron it finally hit you what had happened. You couldn't hurt him and he couldn't hurt you- which meant you were soulmates. It was a thought that would have made you excited if you didn't remember his reaction. He clearly didn’t want a soulmate claiming he didn't have the time. Waited all your life to meet your soulmate and they don’t even want you- just your luck you guess.       

Princess Allura had graciously decided to host you for a few days as all of the rebels' resources were going towards their invasion of Haggar's ship which meant they wouldn't be able to come and take you back to base for a full debrief straight away much to your annoyance. You would feel bad if your supposed soulmate didn’t want to give you the time of day. Honestly, you just felt sad. All your life is supposed to lead up to finding this one person and that is all you get? Your thoughts were quickly halted by the sounds of voices coming down the corridor 

“Why are you acting so angsty Keith, I thought you were over this whole emo boy stuff” you heard unfamiliar voice call out  

“Shut up Lance” Keith, you assumed, replied annoyed 

“Hey! It’s not my fault you’ve had a stick up your arse since you returned from your little rescue mission” Lance defended “What is she your soulmate or something” he queried in a joking manner somewhat laughing at his own words but his laughter quickly dies down at the lack of response from the other boy “Your joking?” Lance cried out clearly surprised “You're not joking” he quickly realised

“I’m not” is all the other boy said almost as if he still didn’t believe it but as quickly as their voices appeared in the corridor they also left before you could hear anything else.

Just great you thought as you dropped onto the bed deciding to take a nap in hopes it will give you some respite from this hell.  

It wasn’t until the second day of your three-day stay that he came up to you, he had clearly sought you out as nobody the whole day had entered the common room and he seemed relieved to see you in the room he quickly sat opposite you but sat in silence as you read another page from a book you had found in your room.

“Can I help you?” you asked as it seemed he was never going to cut to the chase 

“Oh- um yes.” he started clearly not accepting you to say anything “I just thought we could talk about-” he began

“Us being soulmates? What is there to talk about, you clearly don't want this,” you responded wanting this awkward conversation to be done already

“It’s not- I mean I guess.” Keith stuttered from the bluntness of your words “I just don’t have the time” he reiterated his earlier words

“Time doesn't stop for anyone, but I get it. It’s a time of war and you're right at the centre of it” is all you said getting up from your seat and leaving the room leaving no room for argument. 

On the third day, you were told it was your final, a rebel ship would be coming to pick you up that day. You quickly gathered any belongings you had while thanking Allura for her hospitality it was only when she left you in the hanging dock that Keith came running in

“I was thinking about what you said” He began “It’s not that I don't want this, because I think I do but I also don’t want to put you in danger” he admitted “But I also don’t want you to go and this be it”       

“Time isn't going to stop for us” you reminded him

“I know,” he confessed. “That’s why I want to make time for us. If you would like that”

“I would.”

This is a comment I just saw in the wild, and I need to know the real factualness/lack thereof of this from those who are more familiar with internet fandom history.

the evangelical prudishness of the early internet is completely separate from pro/anti ship dynamics. the idea of an anti was popularized in voltron fandom by teenagers who were uncomfortable being attacked by adults in "ship wars" for not liking a prominent ship between an adult and child. evangelicals are still being prudish and nasty online to this day and theyre not doing it with "anti, proshippers dni" in their bios

and to be clear i dont identify as pro or anti ship because im an adult with a job and a social life but i leaned so hard into the anti label as a teen as an effort to protect myself from harassment and grooming (and yes. adults were using proship dynamics to try to groom me. i experienced this from multiple people in multiple fandoms. it was not and is not an uncommon occurrence). if you think teen antis are prudish maybe consider why a child would feel the need to close themselves off and loudly proclaim their hatred of any complicated shipping dynamic. these kids don't stay this way forever, they grow up into adults with more complex viewpoints on sex and relationships because that's what happens to everyone as they age. the fact that most self proclaimed proshippers care more about prudishness (as though every teenager isn't a little bit of a fucking prude anyways) than they do about actual pedophilia and grooming. most proshippers arent trying to use it as an outlet to groom children but a considerable amount of them are and you have no fucking clue how terrifying it is to be a young teen and have adults falling all over themselves trying to convince you that it would actually be really normal for you to have phone sex with them

--

"Ooh, I'm a secret third thing!"

You can just about always assume someone is a jackass if they start with this bilge.

Voltron fandom was a major spreader of antis, sure. The objection was to the two characters with the "I'm the hot one" anime eyes being shipped together instead of one of the hot ones and the one with the "I'm the douchey womanizer" anime eyes.

All of these characters look about the same age, just with different eye shape tropes. All are soldiers. Ages weren't confirmed for a while. When they eventually were, hot eyes and hot eyes were 18 or over and womanizer eyes was under or something. Not that it matters.

It's a bunch of crybabies with a juggernaut shitty ship bawwwwing that a better ship was fairly popular but not as juggernaut despite them sending many, many death threats.

--

Most teens, in my experience, are drawn to cheesy Darker and Edgier extreme shit and get tamer as they age. No, they aren't all prudes. That's bugfuck insane to think. This person is a dumbass.

Adults trying to have phone sex with teens isn't actually that common, from what I've seen, and is clearly creepy in any era. This has nothing to do with fandom shipping.

I'm sorry they've had a shitty time, but this is either someone with a lot of trauma projecting or yet another attempt to drag irrelevant shit into the constant whining about other people's harmless fictional hobbies.

zukka is just postmodern klance with even worse fanonization

is this a safe space

[professorsta]

I find it funny how weird people are with the alastor shipping debate. Some people (with a very condescending tone) are stating that fandoms cannot be controlled and will ship whoever they want (true but I doubt people who are on the fandom website aren't aware of the porn rule), or people on the other side telling those who ship alastor that they are purposefully being ignorant douchebags. I think alastor is of course being side lined in his sexuality. I don't believe thats a crazy concept considering it happened to gay characters getting shipped with women, happened to lesbian characters bring shipped with men. I think at the end of the day that argument ended on "you're not a morally bankrupt person for shipping a gay man with a woman, you're just probably lacking creativity and an imagination that exceeds your personal lived experience, as well as possible prejudice/bias that you can self reflect on," (again you're not a Stupid Bigot for needing to do this. We all have our subconscious biases we need to work and reflect on). Aro/ace people have a right to their feelings lmao even if you're partially right in that alastor will still be shipped. We can feel like the fandom is ignoring Alastor's core of who he is, his richness of characteristics, and his depth to pidgin hole him into a common archetype. Which i think is a fair opinion to have. Ones sexuality is a fundamental part of who they are, and ignoring Al being aro/ace strips him partially of his canon characteristics. You don't have to defend you're entire existence if you ship alastor tho. I was in the voltron fandom when keith and shiro were being shipped, ive been in the discourse trenches and couldn't care less about fake people kissing. But i can see how, you know, when you're excluded it can get annoying, and ones blog is a place to let go when the patience well has dried up. The character aren't real, but you're fellow queer members are. And they see how easily it is for you to forgot to engage with aromantiscm. A lack of interest and compassion in understanding our views and way of navigating the world. Its not as simple as "fandoms will ship whoever they want its not important" or "anyone who ships alastor should be harassed and shamed". Its a hard knock life for all of us. Lets see other's perspectives before judging? And maybe have some understanding for those in your community who are forgotten, who are just trying to make some noise, whether is be angry, sad, or desperate, just to be heard
