Untitled Voltron ficlet (2016-07-23)

A/N1: The rest is under the cut because it has cussing and also mentions things which, while not necessarily nsfw, also isn’t for kids and since Voltron is a kids show… well. Better safe than sorry, right?

As soon as their lions land in their respective hangars, both Lance and Keith are racing for the kitchen. When they meet up in the hallway, they start shoving at each other, trying to trip up the other, even as they both try to get their first.

It doesn’t matter that they are officially boyfriends and have been for a year–rivals is forever, apparently.

Keith gets to the kitchen first, technically, but Lance has longer arms and no sense of propriety, so he’s the one that gets the apple.

Yeah, all this for an apple.

Lance crows triumphantly then immediately licks it, holding it up and declaring, “Ha! I’ve licked it so therefore it’s mine.” Because even though they’ve been in space and defending the universe for four years, Lance is actually a six year old brat at heart.

While Shiro explains to Allura and Coran that licking things isn’t actually how property is legally claimed on Earth, Keith just reaches over, snatches the apple and bites into it.

“Dude!” Lance says, protesting against the clear violation of the most sacred iteration of dibs. 

Keith just looks confused, even as he munches away at his ill-gotten gains.

“You can’t just eat something I’ve licked,” Lance tries to explain because Keith lived in a shack in the desert by himself and not everyone had a billion and a half siblings and cousins to teach them the ways of society.

Keith still looks confused, “I’ve had your tongue in my mouth,” he says, then pauses, considering, “I’ve also had your dick in my mouth,” he adds and doesn’t blush at all, even though Lance’s face turns as red as Keith’s lion, because sometimes Keith has zero shame about the weirdest things.

Shiro face palms because Lance’s inappropriateness is predictable–Keith’s is not. Thankfully, neither of the Alteans ask about that. 

Whoa,“ Hunk says, as he and Pidge enter the kitchen, putting down the box he’s carrying and belatedly covering Pidge’s ears, "watch your language. There are children around,” he hisses at a volume that makes covering Pidge’s ears moot. Which makes sense, seeing as how he’s really just being a troll.

Pidge rolls their eyes and shrugs him off with a lot more elbows than he thinks is necessary, “Fuck off,” they say which is pretty mild all things considered. “It wasn’t funny when I was fourteen and it’s not funny now. Also, you dumbasses, we have, like, a hundred more apples.” Adding their box of apples next to Hunk’s on the counter, doesn’t quite make it a hundred. But seeing as the “grow Earth plants in the castle” is a joint project between Hunk and Pidge and the Green Lion, they would know.

“It’s the principle of the matter!” Lance says, once his embarrassment has run its course. But he still reaches over to snag another apple for himself, then sidles over to Keith and kind of drapes himself over him.

So, basically, all is forgiven.

A/N2: I had the most innocuous yet weird dream, got dragged to a birthday party for someone I don’t know, and sat awkwardly in a corner for hours with my phone. This is what happened.

Voltron: Legendary Defenders theories/headcanon/brainstorm (2016-06-22)

Okay I just binge-watched all 11 episodes of Voltron: Legendary Defenders and here are some theories that will probably be jossed somehow in season 2, I dunno, let’s go:

(These will probably contain spoilers so everything under the cut. If you’re on mobile, turn back now)

I think it’d be suuper cool if Red Lion Paladin was Allura’s mother.

The paladins were told to go as far away as they could (or, alternatively, hide their Lions where the Galra couldn’t reach). Red and Blue Lions headed to the other side of the universe (aka, our solar system)

Red Lion was on Cerberos (which explains why the Galra already had it) and Red Paladin likely had to abandon it there and hitch a ride onward to Earth with Blue Lion

(I mean, alternatively, given how far they travelled without a wormhole, they simply might have died of old age? Like… they couldn’t run anymore and had to stash their Lions in our solar system while they still could?)

The red panels on the Blue Lion are originally pieces from the Red Lion (like field medicine for magical machines) which explain why Keith was able to sense it even though it’s not his

Keith and/or Lance are descended from either of the previous Red and Blue Paladins.

I’m a little iffy on who from who though because… Lance is probs of Altean descent which means either Allura’s mother had another kid (I mean, by that point, probs she was a widow so it’s not like it was cheating?) or Blue Paladin was also Altean.
But it’s been highly hinted/implied that Keith is the one with non-human ancestry and possibly Galra ancestry at that. And for that to mesh with my first theory, then the Blue Paladin would have to have been Galra?
Hm… I dunno…

Previous Yellow Paladin was Balmeran. Just because that would be so poetic and, well, if the Yellow Lion’s power is earth/stone/rock then…

Matt is somehow on the Galra’s side–like… maybe it’s mind-controll-y or maybe they used evil logic, but that’s definitely a thing. Maybe he has evil space magic which he thought he could control and get home with but instead it corrupts the user. Haggar’s apprentice?

Okay but seriously, no way Shiro is a teenager. Maybe he was just barely 19 when the Cerberos mission first left, but no way is he still a teenager now. No. I won’t allow it. Space dad cannot be a teen space dad.
Also, how old was Matt when he was chosen for that mission then? I mean, like, if genius runs in the family then maybe he graduated early but he can’t have been younger than 16? That’d be… oh, wait, no… the math works like that, then. I mean, he’d have been a scrawny 16 year old but I guess it works technically?

… That’s all I can think of right now. So I guess my previous paladin line up would be:

Black Lion – Zarkon (Galra)
Red Lion – Allura’s Mother (Altean)
Green Lion – ????
Maybe Haggar? Or whatever species Haggar is? (Is she Galra too? I dunno, it’s an empire, they have other species… why are all the evil people purple?)
Blue Lion – ???? (either an Altean or a Galra)
Yellow Lion – ???? (Balmeran)

I dunno, it’s three in the morning, I probably shouldn’t have watched all of them straight through, but whatever. I’m tired.

Someone come scream with me about this, though.
