Lance Vld - Tumblr Posts
Don't play golf with ego maniacs. *.*.*. I'm positive that somebody else has already done this but Wonderland klance AU where Lance falls down a rabbit hole and somehow sends up pissing off Keith who is the king/queen of hearts and is trying to find a reason to cut Lance's head off but when he starts becoming smitten he tries to find ways to prolong Lance's stay but is conflicted because all Lance wants us it go home to his family.
Just playing with an idea of if Keith and Lance went off to a planet to collect samples of the environment and wild life to bring back and Keith gets jealous of a mischievous cute creature Lance has a liking for.

Lance with a Genderfluid S/O who feels Insignificant
Ok!! so this was requested by @girlboypersonthingy , who wanted hcs with Lance and a gender-fluid/non-binary s/o who feels like he’s kinda pushing them aside/insignificant to him!
Ngl I had a little trouble writing this, so I hope i was able to execute this well!
You and Lance have built a really strong relationship with each other
Despite Lances’ initial confusion, he was quick to understand that you didn’t identify as one gender
He’s SOOO supportive of you like this boy would do anything to keep you feeling comfortable in your own skin
But it’s the little things he won’t truly understand, like how clothes never seemed to fit in the right places, or the weird feeling that would rise in you whenever you unknowingly compared yourself to another person
The latter seemed to happen more often though as the boy spoke with others around him
The flirty grins he’d send the girls he met, or the playful comments he would make that were different from the ones he would tell you
Was it just you or did it feel like you guys were growing apart?
It made you begin doubting if Lance even liked you in a romantic sense
Was it because you weren’t like the girls who would return his flirty grins with a sweet smile?
Were you just not good enough as you were? Did he have a preference for a specific gender?
Doubts and insecurities began gnawing in the back of your mind the longer Lance kept up his playboy act
Why didn’t he hold your hand? Was he afraid to be seen with you?
Should you were more feminine clothing? Even if there were days that you didn’t want to?
Lance began noticing the small changes in your appearance and mood though
The way you began wearing a little more makeup, the way you began curling in on yourself whenever there was a girl around
He grew suspicious of your behavior but decided not to say anything, thinking maybe it would pass
Wrong mistake buddy
I think he really starts noticing your changes when you start pulling away from his touch, avoiding him whenever he’s talking to someone or just in general
“Has y/n been acting weird? I feel like they’re acting weird. Are they acting weird?”
“Lance, if you think they’re acting weird, then why don’t you go ask them if somethings wrong??”
Lord someone save Pidge from this dude💔
He definitely drags her around, along with Hunk, trying to find clues on why you’re acting so differently now!
Finally after a couple of days of you avoiding him in the halls of the castle, he decides to just ask you what’s been bothering you
“Y/n hey! Um is something going on?”
“What uh, what do you mean?”
He would start listing all the stuff he’s noticed about you and this entire week, which makes you feel even more worse once you hear how obvious you had been
Lance is just so confused, bless his clueless soul
You would get frustrated and finally just spill it all out
It’s hard for you because it really does feel like your showing a part of your soul, it makes you feel vunerable
“I can’t be like those other girls Lance! I just feel like sometimes you would prefer if I were just a girl or just a boy, but I cant.”
It’s like the whole world stops for him because is this how you truly felt?
Did you really think that he didn’t want you, for you?
“I know I’m not the ideal partner, so if you want to find someone else who can-“
“WAIT WAIT WHAT NO!”
Seeing your eyes, Lance feels so bad for making you think that he didn’t want you and ugh he just feels terrible💔
“Why would you think I would want anyone besides you?!”
“W-well, the way you look at others made me… you know, think you wanted to be with someone else who could stick to one gender…”
Cue loud shattering effect cuz this dudes heart just BROKE
“No! No no aw man! I’m so sorry i made you feel that way! I know I can do that sometimes, habits die hard. But I promise you I don’t want anyone. Only you. Regardless of who you are and choose to be.”
After you both talk it out for a while, it still takes some time for you to feel fully secure in your relationship again
Lance does everything in his power to assure you that you’re the only he wants
When you’re feeling a certain way and want to be referred to a specific pronoun, he’s 100% supporting you no matter what
Fully believes that your gender, or uh lack of gender, doesn’t define your relationship
He’s so respectful of you and is always willing to talk to you whenever you’re feeling upset about yourself
Man he’s just so UGGHHHH💔💔💔💔
He’s so proud of you, and he makes sure to always reassure you about your guys’ relationship
I love Lance so much i can’t even💔
I know this has already been done but I want YOUR take on this…can I pretty plz get headcanons of the paladins (or just Keith Pidge and Lance) accidentally hurting their s/o bad enough to send them to the healing pods…? How would they spend their time while waiting for them to wake up? Angsty with a fluffy ending…? THANK YOU ILYSM 🥹❤️🔥
Paladins Accidentally Injuring Reader
STOP CUZ IM A SUCKER FOR ANGSTY STUFF LIKE THIS💀💀💀 I decided to do ALL of them cuz why not💯💯 also sorry for taking so long to answer, this was sitting in my drafts for awhile, procrastination is not fun😔🙏💔💔 another also, I didn’t proofread this yet but I promise I will💔
Keith
It all happened so quickly Keith had no idea what had happened
He remembered he was fighting one of Zarkon’s men, relentlessly attacking him with his sword when all of a sudden you came into the picture
While he was on overdrive, the Galra general had taken ahold of you when you tried attacking him from his side, swinging you in front of him
In front of Keith’s brutal attacks…
Using you as a human shield, Keith had no time to stop his sword from swinging down on you
While you did try to stop his attack with your dagger, his force was too strong, resulting in his sword slicing into your shoulder all the way down to your stomach
Keith could never forget the piercing scream you let out
Frozen is shock and horror, he was kicked backwards by the Galra, hearing his footsteps quickly fading from both of you
“Y/N!”
He is a MESS when he gets to you
His hands shake as he tries to apply pressure to your wound, but it’s just too large
His vision just zeros on your face as tears stain your cheeks. Despite whimpering in pain, you want to reassure him that you’re fine, but he doesn’t let you move an inch
By the time the rest of the group gets to him, Keith is too frantic and a bit unstable for him to think correctly
“GET AWAY!”
The group has no idea how to handle this situation as they watch him cradle your now passed-out body, his body shaking from the adrenaline of needing to protect you from anything else
“Keith, listen to me. We need to take Y/N to the castle now if we want them to survive. We can’t do that if you won’t let us help you.”
Shiro is literally the only person who can bring Keith back to earth, words hitting him like a train as he looks down at your body, watching as you take shallow breathes
Keith does not let anyone near you, not in your fragile state. He carries you all the to the castle, whispering apologies as your face twists in pain from every move
Once getting you to the pod room, he only allows Allura and Pidge in the room to help him set up your body and change you into a bodysuit
While you’re in the healing pod, he’s always sitting nearby, waiting in silence for you, hating himself for hurting you so badly
Despite you being out of commission, Voltron still needed to continue its mission
During this time, Keith pushes himself to the absolute MAX
Purposely puts himself in danger, not caring how hurt he gets because nothing can compare to what you had to go through
In a way, this is his own way of punishing himself for hurting the person he cared for
Keith won’t even listen to Shiro, brushing him off whenever the man offered to help patch him up after a more brutal mission
The team definitely gets worried when he begins straying from missions entirely, almost purposely trying to find danger at every corner
So once he finds out you’re out of the healing pod, he is extremely hesitant to see you
But he practically runs to you when Allura tells him you wanted to see him
Seeing him all bruised up upsets you once you find out what he’s been doing
He doesn’t care though, he’s immediately groveling at your feet, apologizing as his eyes slowly filled with unshed tears
“I’m sorry Y/N. I’m so sorry, I hurt you, worse than anyone else I-“
You pull him into a crushing hug, feeling him tense up but slowly relax in your embrace
“None of this was your fault, ok Keith? You may not forgive yourself but I never blamed you for anything.”
You need to comfort Keith so much because this boy almost lost the last familiar person he loved
It takes some time for him to feel secure with you again but the progress you make is enough to set him back in motion
Lots of physical contact occurs now since Keith needs to know that you’re actually with him
He is 100% more protective over you now, always keeping an eye on you when out on missions and protectively standing in front of you during battles
Lance
Lance felt like he was going to throw up
He watched as you quickly were thrown down to the ground, breath caught in his lungs as you laid there unmoving
He was trying to aim for one of the guards that was originally standing in your place, but they had moved last second once they saw him aiming at them
He had no idea that you were right behind the guard, so all he could do was watch in horror as his blast hit your chest, knocking you out in one swift moment
Oh,how he hoped it only knocked you out
Shiro had quickly ran over to your body, checking your neck for a pulse before he abruptly got up, attacking one of the sentries who was aiming at you
Lance was already running to you, sliding over and immediately clutching onto your body
His eyes watered, not able to focus on anything else except your short, shallow breaths
“LANCE YOU NEED TO TAKE THEM BACK TO THE CASTLE! QUICK, I’LL COVER YOU!”
Shiro’s voice brought him back to reality as he picked your body up bridal style and made a dash for his lion
Lance would be so worried over you once they put you in one of the healing pods
He would distance himself from the group immediately afterwards, almost running to his room to just let out the emotions
Oh god, he almost killed you
Lance would be inconsolable during all this, he wouldn’t eat any of Hunk’s food, ignore Keith’s comments that would normally set him over the end, and just not focus on Shiro’s attempts in comforting him
He would spend the days you spend in the pod wandering and moping around the halls of the castle, feeling absolutely terrible for what he did to you
He would sit quietly as your pod door opened, watching from afar as Pidge helped you from falling over
You would notice how everyone around you seemed relieve you see but the one person you really wanted to see stood by the entrance of the room
Lance would not be able to look you in the eyes
“Lance…”
Now he’s a crying mess💔💔
“Y/N! I’m-I’m sorry! If you had actually-“
He just feels awful for what he had done, accident or not
You would stumble over to him, hugging him and feeling as he clutched onto you
His sobs sound throughout the room, the group looking with remorseful eyes, seeing how much this had actually affected him
“You didn’t know Lance. No one could have known that would happen.”
Lance would not be able to leave your side for a few days afterwards
He would still be quiet, but he would slowly begin going back to his usual self
Though during the night, he would get nightmares on the event, only your sweet whisperings could lull him back to a peaceful sleep
After the near death experience, he feels much more aware of his surroundings and how he used his gun
He just cares so much for you, he doesn’t know what he would do if you got hurt like that again
Pidge
Things were going rough for the paladins during their mission, they were slowly losing control on the battle
Seeing an opportunity in front of her, Pidge noticed an electric column near her, already devising a plan
She would wrap her bayards cord around the column, making it an electric extension and have it thrown to their large enemy
It was perfect, until it wasn’t
Not getting the timing right, Pidge quickly threw her bayard to the column, watching the electricity travel through the cord and flying straight to the beast
Except you had jump in front of the beast, hoping to get a hit in, not even realizing the electric cord heading your way
All Pidge could do was yell out your name in horror
“Y/N NO!”
You quickly turned around, eyes wide when you saw what was heading towards you and unable to dodge the electrified weapon
The group could only watch with shocked faces as you screamed out in pain, watching the electricity course through your body
Being the one near a control panel, Keith slashed the entire system, hoping that would at least turn off the electricity
“TEAM FALL BACK!”
Shiro ran towards you, picking up your limp body from the ground and pushing Pidge to run out of the room and into their lions
Her hands shook with fear
She didn’t mean for this to happen. She thought she would be helping everyone. But all she could envision was your body twitching from the last of the electricity leaving your body
Tears formed in her eyes as she let out sobs, ignoring everything else around her, even the concerned words of her paladins
She would be the first one out of her lion, watching with puffy eyes as Shiro quickly took you to the healing pods, not bothering in changing you into a body suit
She would do anything Allura and him asked her to do regarding you
She would ask if there’s anything she can do
She just feels awful like this poor girl :(
Once hearing how long you’d have to stay in the healing pod, she definitely shuts down
It’s almost like she’s a robot, choosing to lock herself away in her room not wanting to see anyone
To distract herself from her guilt and remorse, she buries herself in any new and old projects
Despite clicking away at her laptop, she wouldn’t be able to stay away from you.
Sits out of your pod staring off into space
No matter how many times the group asks, she never tells them how she truly feels
No, they shouldn’t be asking her if she was ok
This was her fault. It was her fault that you had to stay in there, hopefully no longer in pain
Pidge would be the first to know that you’re out since she’s been waiting this entire time
Doesn’t speak a word to you as she helps you out and settles you on one of the stairs
Both of you would sit in silence before you decide to take her hand
“That wasn’t your fault Pidge. It was a smart idea, I was just there at the wrong time.”
Tears would down her face as she would lean her body against yours
“I’m sorry…”
Pidge would lose some confidence in herself, needing your help in building it back up
She would linger behind you now, not wanting to make the same mistakes
Would hold your hand to help her calm down, to know that you’re ok now
Give her lots of hugs man, she needs the support cuz her brain is not the best place to be when she still blames herself for hurting you :((((
Hunk
The Galra took the entire team by surprise while they were busy helping the residents of the planet they were on
Chaos fell throughout the area, the paladins rushing towards the lions to protect the innocent civilians
Despite you being sent to help shelter civilians, Hunk couldn’t help but worry over your safety
Normally you two would be hip to hip next to each other, so not having you near him really put him on edge
While attacking Galra fleets, the yellow paladin wouldn’t be conscious of the small figure running by a cliff nearby
It would be too late for Hunk to react to the rocks that were blasted by his lions beams as they came crashing down on you
His eyes widen in horror as he saw the pieces of rock fall around, watching as you held your shield up in a pathetic way of protecting yourself, only to lose sight of you when a particularly large rock fell over you
“NO!”
His panic would be through the roof as he would leave the rest of the paladins to fight off the galra
Shaky breaths from him are louder than the voices he hears from the comms of his helmet
“Hunk where are you going?!”
“Hunk we need you here now!”
“Guys I need some backup!”
This poor boy would be so overwhelmed with the others voices and trying to find you under all the rubble he unknowingly blasted on you
Yanking his helmet off and tossing it, he would instead focus on digging you out, sighing in relief once he finds you battered up, yet still breathing
Silent tears would travel his face as the yellow lion gently takes you in its mouth, making the difficult decision to leave behind his friends
He could only hope they would forgive him as he hears the panicked and furious yells coming from his helmet
Once at the castle, he would run through the halls to the healing pods, being careful to not hurt you any further
Hunk would fully blame himself
He just feels awful about the condition you’re in, babbling out what had happened as Coran propped you in a pod
“There was nothing you could have done, Hunk.” Coran’s reassuring hand on his shoulder wouldn’t help with his inner turmoil, especially once the rest of the team barges in
“Hunk! You just totally left us out there!” Lance hadn’t a clue what had happened
Overwhelmed, the team could only watch as tears and sniffles came from Hunk
After the event, Hunk would definitely be distant from the team
While the others would try to cheer him up, nothing could really bring him out of his head
The team would notice how he almost resembled a zombie during meetings and missions, on autopilot since that fateful day
In order to distract himself from his own feelings, Hunk would spend most of his free time cooking and baking
Though no matter how much dishes he cooks, everyone notices how each meal seems to be a bit off, never really tasting or looking right
He would also spend a lot of his time sitting in front of you, kinda having mini conversations with you (even though you can’t respond💔)
Hunk can’t sleep at night either since he gets waken up by his nightmares, constantly seeing your fragile body hiding underneath all the rubble in his dreams
I feel so bad for him because literally no one could have expected you to be caught in the crossfire of the battle
Shiro would try to talk to him, but his words would go in one ear and out the other, resulting in Hunk staring off into the distance with a reminiscent look im his eyes
One particular night though, his nightmare would scare him too much, not allowing him to go to sleep anymore
Rubbing his eyes in exhaustion, Hunk walks to the kitchen in the dead of night, needing to snack on something to distract himself from his pounding heart
Hearing footsteps, he would look over his shoulder from the fridge to see who else needed something to eat only to widen his eyes
“Y/N?”
Leaning on the entrance, your tired eyes met with his tired ones, and you would stumble towards him
Hunk puts down his food to quickly run over to you, helping you to a seat as his eyes shined with unshed tears
“What’s wrong Hunk? Did something happen?”
The way your hands rubbed under his eyes did not stop even when he closed his eyes, allowing his tears to finally fall
The room, lit only by the open fridge, filled with the sounds of Hunks sniffling as you drew him into a hug from your seat
“I thought that I had k-killed-“
“Hey. Don’t say that. I’m here, I’m alive, and that’s all that should matter.”
Taking a shaky breath, Hunk would pull away, bringing your hands back to his face as his head leaned into them
“I know. I’m just really, really sorry. I should have payed more attention.”
“It’s ok Hunk. If anything, I should be sorry, I shouldn’t have run into a clear danger zone.”
Hunk preps you a quick meal before taking you to bed, insisting you need as much rest as possible
He sleeps peacefully at last once he has you in his arms💔💔💔
Expect lots of hand-holding and hugs from this dude
He needs a lot of reassurance from you to remind him that you’re actually there next to him
Cooks you so much food, putting so much effort into each meals and making everything beyond your standards
(The team is definitely happy over this, now that they don’t have to eat any more space goo💀)
Would be protective of you the first few days since you’ve woken up, he’s just really paranoid of you getting injured like that again :(
Since that event, Hunk would be extremely cautious of his surroundings, making sure to avoid any more preventable injuries to those around him
Shiro
He has no idea what had happened
One minute he’s fighting alongside you against the sentries shooting at the two of you and the next he’s slammed you against a wall
He tries fighting himself from hurting you any further but the loud whisperings in his head seem to take control of his body
In that moment, you don’t recognize the man standing in front of you
Ducking and stumbling away, you quickly evade Shiro’s glowing hand, watching in horror as it goes through the wall
“SHIRO WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!”
His crazed eyes makes contact with yours, once again rushing towards you
In the corner of your eye you see a figure vanishing in thin air, realizing it might have been the witch Allura had told you all about
Distracted, Shiro manages to land a blow on your side causing you to grunt in pain and go tumbling towards the ground
You barely roll away before his fist meets the spot you once were at
“SHIRO PLEASE! THIS ISN’T YOU!”
You’re words don’t seem to have any affect on him as he’s up once again and heading straight towards you
As much as you hate the thought, you know you have to protect yourself from him as he’s too dangerous in the state he’s in
You’re dagger clashes against his metal arm, his strength slowly over powering you because of your injured arm
Kicking your side, Shiro’s narrowed eyes meet yours before he’s picking you up the ground
You grip his metal hand as it tightens around your neck, your breathing becoming shallow as he cuts off your airway
“Shiro… I forgive you…” You knew this wasn’t you’re Shiro, the man you knew coming out for a moment when you saw his eyes widen in surprise before going straight back to the dull black ones that stared straight through you
It was only when Lance began shooting at him out of no where did he throw you against a wall, officially knocking you out
Keith slammed his body against Shiro’s causing the two of them to crash on the ground, trying to over power the other
Then that’s when his head was finally able to clear up and stop fighting against Keith
“What’s going on? Why are we fighting?”
Everyone would stare in disbelief before quickly explaining what happened, Hunk already carrying your body towards the group, shielding you from the eyes of Shiro
He would stare in shock at the state of your body though, flashes of what might’ve happened going through his mind
Heading back to the castle, everyone would still be on edge around him
Seeing what he had done to you, this man does some serious evaluations on himself
How could he possibly hurt you, someone he cared for, this much?
Seeing the bruises forming on your neck scares him
If he did this to you, Shiro can’t imagine how far he would’ve gone if he wasn’t stopped in time
During your time in the healing pod, Shiro would distance himself from the team as he doesn’t fully trust himself enough around them, fearing he might hurt them all as well
He visits you daily, but once one of the other paladins enters the room he’s quickly excusing himself and walking away
He feels EXTREMELY guilty over what he did, going through many sleepless nights
He had almost killed you
He is harsher on the team during missions as well since he doesn’t want a repeat of what had happened with you
He is way harsher on himself too
Spends his time in the training room, tiring himself out with the gladiator, pushing his body past its limit
Still remembers what you said to him, so while you said you forgave him, I don’t think he would ever be able to forgive himself for hurting you
The team would notice the strain on them when Shiro began distancing himself from them
He was the one who put them all together so it really hurt them to see him struggle with the recent event
Once you finally awake from the pods, Shiro is the last one to greet you
You notice how he stands at a distance which causes you to narrow your eyes
“What’s wrong Shiro?”
The way you immediately notice his coldness causes his fake smile to strain
It never ceased to amaze him how you could see past him
He would explain his concerned to you once everyone decided to give you both privacy, how he was afraid of losing control again, how he had almost killed you
What had happened made him uncomfortable, knowing the power he held with his arm
You smile sadly as him reaching for his metal hand, faltering when he slightly moved it away from you
Sadness filled his eyes as he glanced to his arm before letting you take his hand
“I don’t blame you for anything Shiro. I know that wasn’t you, I know the real you. You would rather sacrifice your own life to save one of us, so please don’t be so harsh on yourself. You couldn’t control what happened.”
“Exactly. I couldn’t control what happened, I couldn’t control my own body.”
Your reunion was bittersweet to say the least
He is much more cautious around you
Keeps his distance for a few days before ultimately choosing to stay by your side
He wants to do anything to make up for your injuries
Much more softer around you and the others now that he knows you’re ok💔
Allura
“Allura what are you doing?!”
The mission the team was on was extremely crucial since, if successful, they would be able to retrieve valuable intel on Zarkons plans (ooo so original)
And it involved taking down his witch, Haggar
Allura was all for the plan and took it very serious
She believed this was one of their most important missions yet
So while it did surprise the group on how brutal the princess was in fighting her way to Haggar, no one really tried to stop her, knowing just how much it meant for them to get this information
Yet you could see the danger her aggressive behavior was dragging her in
You’d jump in front of her, trying to stop her from pushing herself too far
“Y/N what are you doing?! We must stop that witch from getting away!”
Allura was on a one track kind, take down Haggar and get any useful info from her, but you were making it extremely difficult to do so
Blinded by her own needs, she didn’t take into account of how hard she had thrown you to the ground away from her when she managed to wrap her bayard around you
Running from your injured self to Haggard, she was yanked to the ground
“Allura watch out!”
She could only watch in shock as you dashed in front of her from the ground to protect her from the blast Haggard sent
Her hands shook as she watched your body hit the ground
Haggar was getting ready to blast you both again, forcing Allura to attempt to drag you away before a searing pain filled her body, causing her to crumble down to the ground beside you
Tears filled her eyes as she watched in pain as your breathing became ragged
You both were in this situation because of her
Allura was forced to watch as the witch made her escape, the mission resulting in a failure
After getting help from the paladins and returning to the house of lions, Allura would immediately distance herself from everyone
She’s not only disappointed in herself for costing the team their mission, but she feels terrible for putting your life at such a high risk, all because she didn’t know when to stop
She would mostly lock herself up in her room while you spend your time in the healing pods
Whenever someone tried to approach her door, they would only be met with the sound of her soft sobs
When she isn’t in her room though, Allura is extremely harsh and temperamental with the others
She doesn’t know how to properly release her emotions which causes her to lash out often to those around her
She would be too afraid to visit you in the healing bay
She feels too ashamed to face you, even if you aren’t really conscious
I also think she would brush aside any concern the team may show for her, instead, trying to keep up her image as a strong leader
(Which isn’t working out, everyone can see she’s basically a ticking time bomb)
Allura pushes herself even harder now during missions and battles, which is lowkey kinda hypocritical of her since that’s what got her in that position in the first place
After briefly talking with Keith, Allura would find herself in the training deck, hoping to relieve some of her pent up emotions with the gladiator
Maxing out to the highest possible level, the princess managed to tire herself out, not having enough energy to beat the machine
Grunting in pain, she waited for the gladiator to land a hit on her before she heard the voice of the person she was dreading to see
“End training sequence!”
You would run to her and cradle her body, concern written all over your face
Despite putting you in danger and managing to hurt you in the process, you still cared for her well-being
Tears well up in the princesses eyes before she gave you a crushing hug
Feeling her body shake against yours, you gently wrap your arms around her, whispering soothing words
“I almost got you killed…”
“I’m still here, are’t I?”
Allura would definitely learn a lot through that experience
She would stop pushing herself so hard and begin relying on her team to assist her during missions
She would also linger around you more often than not
She still feels incredibly guilty for what she put you through, but doesn’t tell you (you know though💔)
I also think that she MIGHT be more open to physical affection in front of the others since she needs to confirm that you’re still alive and popping
Holding your hand is something that she does a lot now since it soothes her heart knowing you’re still with her
Expect her to be a little more protective of you though, she does not want you to be in such a critical state again
She doesn’t want to lose you too :(
Lance McClain x Reader: Fluff Alphabet !
gender: gender neutral
type: fluff alphabet by @snk-warriors
characters: lance mcclain
warnings: maybe out of character lance?? this is my first time writing a fluff alphabet :(
A ctivities - What do they like to do with their s/o? How do they spend their free time with them?
Loves it when you have spa days with him. He does it by himself, of course Allura, Keith, and Pidge joined him in seprate, before he started to date you. Now you're both offical, it's almost everyday you both are seen with face masks, painting nails, doing each others hair, etc. Spends every second he can get with his S/O, not in a.. creepy way, I swear.
B eauty - What do they admire about their s/o? What do they think is beautiful about them?
Your hair. He may have an eye out for the person's looks, but he's not all into their beauty. He loves to play with your hair, short or long, he'll figure out what to do with it to surpise you.
C omfort - How would they help their s/o when they feel down/have a panic attack etc.?
He grew up with an insanely large family, he's bound to know how to comfort someone, either that or attempt to calm them down somewhat. If your having a panic attack in particular, he'll take your hands into his and ask you what you feel, look at 5 different objects you see, or take some deep breath through the nose and out the mouth. If you just upset (crying, pouting, etc) he'll cuddle you until you can't physically make a sad face anymore.
D reams - How do they picture their future with their s/o?
Can't say so much. "The simple life" My ass. After the univerese was restored, you both would move in together, he would want kids. Maybe like, 1, or 2 if your both lucky. Adoption or not, he'll be happy with any child. Of course, whatever he daydreams about may or may not become reality without your consent.
E qual - Are they the dominant one in the relationship, or rather passive?
I feel like he be both dom and sub, but too me he's more sub. Anyways- he can take charge in any situation....sometimes. He's not the best leader, but he's not the worst persay.
F ight - Would they be easy to forgive their s/o? How are they fighting?
Hates arguing, with anybody, but he hates arguing with you espicially. He insantly regrets what he's said to you and how he reacted and tries to restore the conflict but taking it slow and gentle after. If he makes you cry durning the argument, he'll cry himself and if you allow him, hold you close and apologize sincearly.
H onesty - Do they have secrets they hide from their s/o? Or do they share everything?
Wants to share everything with you. How can you both be happy together when you hide secrets from each other. But sometimes he's keeping things to himself, like most of his inseurities. He'll eventually tell you once he's ready because he hates keeping thems from you. I also headcanon he's horrible with secrets :/
I nspiration - Did their s/o change them somehow, or the other way around? Like trying out new things or helped them overcome personal problems?
Throughout their trip in space and becoming Paladins of Voltron, everyone changed in some sort of way. It's either their looks, or personality. In Lance's case, he's become less childish and more serious. After meeting you, you were able to keep his childself like alive. You both taught each other different, unqiue things together.
J ealousy - Do they get jealous easily? How do they deal with it?
I think he'll get jealous prett easily, but he'll keep it to himself. He see's you with another he'll walm up to you and wherever you are, ask you to spend some time with him. At a ball? "Care for a dance, sweetheart?" In a public area? "Y/N! Help, I can't find the bathroom and those fruit punches were a baaad idea to jug down so quick!" Once you catch on, you'll begin to tease the living shit out of him, his fae turning hot and instantly shuts you up with a kiss and aplogizes.
K iss - Are they a good kisser? What was the first kiss like?
He's all talk and sometimes no action when it comes to making the first move. He's great at giving advice, but horrible at doing it himself. He's an...okay of a kisser. I mean, he can be romantic- don't get me wrong- but he'll be nervous at first. He's sweating bullets when your lips made contact with his for the first time. Overtime, he's gotten comfortable with kissing you randomly, and now it's a thing he does. Randomly runs up to you, gives your lips a kiss, and run if he's in a hurry.
L ove Confession - How would they confess to their s/o?
Takes them to their favorite place and does anything they want. Attempts to spoli you or try to show off. If they day goes as planned, he'll confess at the place they had the most fun at. "Y/N, I'm in love with you. I know I say this to a lot of other people, but after meeting you you're all I ever think about! Heh, I-I love you so much it hurts!" did i get to sappy? ehhhhhhh
M arriage - Do they want to get married? How do they propose? What would the marriage be like?
kinda gpot lazy here- He's totally thought about marrying you. Once aged, similar to his confession he would spend the day with you. Take you out to dinner, does any activity you want, whatever it is, he'll have no problems. As long as he see's thar brigth smile on your face, he'll be happy. Proposing? He'll propose in the resteruant.
N icknames - What do they call their s/o?
Sweetheart
Baby
Babe
Mi amor
Mi vida
O n Cloud Nine - What are they like when they are in love? Is it obvious for others? How do they express their feelings?
It's kinda obvious he was in love with you. Pidge was the first to notice his stare while you walked them both. Then she notice the drool and used her finger to wipe it when a dissapointed look while he was in the trance. Not everything knew he was in love with you, but he gave some pretty obvious signs. He tried to be with you durning missions, offered to help with repairs on the ship, even thought you know he can't even fix alarm clock, and just tries to impress you.
P DA - Are they upfront about their relationship? Do they brag with their s/o in front of others? Or are they rather shy to kiss etc. when others are watching?
HE IS ALL OVER YOU NO LIE! He loves cuddling, private or public doesn't matter to him. You're blushing? Too bad, he'll let go when he's ready. Sometimes he'll like the privacy, but eh- he's not complaning. 100% brags about you in front of the others, he shows you off like a trophy. Even if you do the littlest of things, "Did you guys see the way S/O brushed their teeth?" "Did they juggle while doing so, hmm Lance?" "They looked so cute~". "I've lost my appetite". He's not shy when it comes to kissing anymore. As said before, he was, but now it's something he does to piss you off sometimes.
Q uirk - Some random ability they have that’s beneficial in a relationship.
He's great as massages. PFFT- random I know, but it does say "random ability" and I headcanon his hands would be warm and smooth. I wouldn't it's a beneficial ability, but it's defiently something you love. After a long day of work, or y'know- protecting the univerese and all that Voltron stuff- you crave for Lance's hands. eh, i read that over and now i'm uncomfy my bad guys :( Favorite places would have to be shoulders and back.
R omance - How romantic are they? What would they do to make their s/o happy? Cliché or rather creative?
He's a flirt. Everyone who disagrees WATCH FUCKNG VOLTRON YOU LITTLE BI- ahem, anyways he'll 100% attempt to flirt with you whenever he gets the chance. He'll rub his thumb over your lip, pin you to a wall/or floor if traning and give you a shit eating grin. He makes you happy without even trying, he juts makes you laugh for the dumbest reasons. You're also sometimes the only one who laughs at his cheesy jokes, causing him to blush gently and smile. someone help, what does cliché or rather creative mean for this?? am i dumb ;-;
S upport - Are they helping their s/o achieve their goals? Do they believe in them?
He'll 100% support his S/O, if the reasons physically impossible, then he'll be unsure. He'll be critical to his S/O, but not hard to hurt their feelings. With you, he'll support you for anything you do. But if you're saying you need to either get yourself hurt or even killed he's offbored and were making a new plan. But if he's something cute or something to help with the mission. Count him in as well, he'll be with you every step of the way.
T hrill - Do they need to try out new things to spice out your relationship? Or do they prefer a certain routine?
I kinda answered thid already in 'I' but he's totally willing to try new thingd with you if it means having something fun to do and talk about together that nobody will have any context to.
U nderstanding - How good do they know their partner? Are they empathetic?
He tries to understand you, but f there's something he doesn't understand, he'll speak up and try to talk with you about the situation. He wants to say he knws you well, but only you can truely know who you are as a person. Not your parents, friends, strangers, lovers, you.
V alue - How important is the relationship to them? What is it’s worth in comparison to other things in their life?
Unsure how to answer this LMAO- but I say he values you alot he's willing to die for you if it means you're going to grow up happy and safe. ... yeah what more should I add :(
W ild Card - A random Fluff Headcanon.
Likes piggyback rides, from anybody. He'll hop on hi's S/O's back and wrap his legs around their torso and arms around their neck gently and ask to carry him to places like a servent. He's just a goffy boy.
X OXO - Are they very affectionate? Do they love to kiss and cuddle?
HE LOVES YOUR KISSES AND CUDDLES. He's also great at giving cuddles and and kisses. Sometimes gets whiny and just begs for your kisses and he wont stop until he gets at least one to start his day.
Y earning - How will they cope when they’re missing their partner?
It's going to take sometime to get over his greif missing you. He just wants to hold you and tell you he loves you and all's going to be okay. He just wants to kiss you and keep you close and listen to your heart beat. made this mostly talk about S/O's death, my bad p2 :/
Z eal - Are they willing to go to great lenghts for the relationship? If so, what kind of?
I want to say yes, but they won't be as large as you think. He wants to do anything to make you happy and smile, but he's not a genie, he can't make all your wishes come true no matter how hard he tries. does this make sense???!! yeah, i'm done now :)
Okay okay okay…so I love watching drag shows. Imagine…reader meeting Lance at a drag show and AND AND…he’s performing. Imagine his LEGS in thigh highs and heels. 🥵 he obvi flirts with everyone in the audience, but his flirting leaves the reader flustered and wanting to know him more, chatting with him after the show, and the reader admiring him up close like 🫣 “ur so hawt”. Drag queen Lance x reader PLZ. Please write this for me I will love you forever. I’m posting this under anon but you know who this is 😉
Lance with Reader in a Drag Show Headcanons
This was a very different concept I’m used to writing, but I’m always down to try new things! I feel bad for taking my time on these requests but i can’t stop procrastinating, habits die hard💔 BUT ENJOY THIS‼️
Your friends had invited you for a night out to have some fun(woohoo) which you were initially going to decline
But at the sound of their late night adventures being at a drag show club, it immediately caught your attention
Never had you been to one and it really intrigued you, so you almost begrudgingly agreed to the night out
Once at the show, you settled with your friends in a table never the center of the room, lowkey kind of excited for the show to begin
You watched with joy and amazement at the many drag queens who made an appearance, laughing at their jokes and following the crowds “ooh’s” at suggestive comments made towards someone at the tables
You were just having such a fun time, excitingly waiting for the next person to make their entrance
The next drag queen was announced
“Everyone give a loud welcome to our final queen of the night, Lance!!”
The crowd cheered so loud as he walked out, sharp eyes immediately sweeping through the crowd
You watched with wide eyes at the strong presence Lance gave out, different from the other drag queens
Heat rose to your face though once his eyes caught yours, never straying as he began speaking to the crowd
You had to double back to see if he was looking at someone behind you because DAMN
THE INTENSE EYE CONTACT WAS STARTING TO MAKE YOU FLUSTERED😭😭😭
You caught his eyes in the full crowd, smiling when he saw you turn around quickly and then face him back again
Seeing your nervous eyes meet his interested him, he watched as you began playing with your hands
He was interested in you🫣🫣🫣
He performed a short dance number, enrapturing your attention ever since he walked on the stage
He made his way across the crowd afterwards, flirty comments filling the air, some people giving Lance the same energy back
When he passed you though, he glanced towards you and gave you a flirty grin, almost as if he was saving you for last
Finally making his way through the room, he makes his slow trek towards you, heels clacking loud with purpose
You literally knew he was going towards you because ain’t no way he’s giving you this weird energy and he wasn’t going to address it💀
You watched as he stopped right in front of you, giving him a nervous smile
He smirked, he literally SMIRKED
“This your first time darlin’?”
The way your face heated up gave you away immediately, causing you to drop your head into your hands
Hearing the crowd laugh at your action, Lance could only chuckle in endearment at your reaction
“It’s not every day I see someone who catches my eye, do I make you nervous?”
The way you began stuttering was so embarrassing, you just wanted the ground to swallow you whole
“N-no I mean, maybe a little? You’re just s-so gorgeous a-and hot! I mean-“
Cue laughing sound track again💔
You could only groan in embarrassment as you blew your shot, so much for trying to keep the same energy
“A beautiful person like yourself shouldn’t have their head down.”
You literally felt like passing out when Lance tilted your head up towards him, face so close you could see the glitter and faint blush coating his eyes and cheeks
“Meet me backstage.” He whispered into your ear as you got closer to you, hand traveling down your arm and into your hand
Completely in a daze, you didn’t even hear the loud cheering and whistling from the crowd as Lance strutted away back to the stage, his heels sounding much louder than before
Your friends giggled at your state, teasing you as the drag queen walked away, hearing their comments caused him to smile
Cue to the end, your friends ushered you to head towards the back, hyping you up as you hesitantly walked away
The stage crew members guided you to Lances room, wishing you luck which caused you to begin second guessing yourself
Maybe he was joking when he said to meet up with him?
Before you could turn around and run away, the door swung open abruptly revealing the person you were so nervous to see
Lance gave you a smile, open his door, inviting you in, almost giving you a choice to leave or enter
You felt your face heat up as you walked around him and into his room
His walls were filled with picture frames which you took notice of
His room overall looked like it came from a movie, feathered costumes and decorative pieces placed sporadically around the place
“So about what you said earlier, do you really think I’m hot?”
“No! Wait no I meant yes! You are hot, i meant to say yeah I think your hot!”
You debated just walking out before hearing Lance’s laugh filling your awkward silence
“I like you. So flustered.”
You awkwardly laughed, he was so attractive holy damn
You noticed he still had his stage makeup on despite the show ending a while ago
“Were you waiting for me?”
Now it was Lance’s turn for his face to turn red, causing you to smile as he looked away in embarrassment
“You were taking a while to get here, I didn’t want you coming in while I was cleaning up.”
You smiled at him before taking his hand and leading him to his chair in front of a mirror
You shuffled around, looking for makeup remover and cotton pads and setting them up in front of him
“I can help you clean up while you tell me more about yourself!”
You sent him a grin and watched as he gave you a smile of his own
Damn you were smooth with that one😏
hi hi! I freaking LOVE your work! I'm glad that you do VLD stuff, even if the fandom is dead and sh!t! Anywho, can you do something along the lines of who, in voltron, do you think is the best hugger/cuddler!
If you dont want to, i understand! ❤️💛💚💙🖤
Paladins Ranked Best to Worst Hugger
Hello, thank you so much!!!! Even if the fandom is kinda dead, I still enjoy writing and just interacting with those who are still alive😍🔥🔥 I had a lot of fun writing this, thank you again for requesting this!!!
I’m gonna rank them from best to worst hugger since I think cuddling should get its own ranking and then giving my reasoning!
Lance
Hunk
Shiro
Allura
Pidge
Keith
Lance
OK IDK IF YOU’RE SUPRISED WITH LANCE BEING NUMBER 1 BUT HEAR ME OUT! I think Lance would be the best hugger BECAUSE his hugs feel like home. We know that he has a big family so I like to think that hes done a lot of hugging and comforting with his cousins and siblings, making him an expert at them! He definitely squeezes people when he hugs them, he just loves giving them!
Plus he doesn’t make them weird! They instantly feel natural and not forced, like Pidge and Keith’s are. You could just go up to Lance and randomly hug him and he wouldn’t even question you, bro would just go with the flow and I love him for that. Yeah his hugs feel like home, he makes you feel included in what feels like small secrets.
Hunk
Next Hunk! I was seriously debating hard about who should be #1 in this list, but I ended up putting homeboy second. Hunk is an automatically emotional and caring person, so imagine that registered into hugs?? Bro gives the biggest yet softest hugs EVER. Same with Lance, hugging him doesn’t feel weird whatsoever, he’s just trying to comfort you!
His hugs feel like a blanket, protecting and comforting. Did that make sense?? He would definitely be the type to pick you up and swing you around in a hug though! Hunk finds hugging to be a really stress relieving thing so be sure to give him one if he looks like he needs one!
Shiro
SHIRRROOOO WOOOO!!! A solid third place, pretty good if I say so myself. I think with Shiro, his hugs are very grounding. He would usually only hug people if they really REALLY need it. But despite how sparse his hugs are, he makes them all worth it. If you ever have a serious conversation with him, just know that he will always hug you in the end, not only to comfort you but to also thank you for trusting him with your secrets and feelings.
His hugs aren’t too tight or too loose, it feels like he’s actually like really holding you. HEAR ME OUT ITS HARD TO PUT IT INTO WORDS! BUT!! You feel seen with his hugs, he actually sees you and hears you, and Shiro is willing to protect the person deep down inside you. His hugs feel like a shield, ready to comfort and provide a safe space for you.
Allura
I love Allura so much omg. I placed her kinda low because I feel like she doesn’t give hugs often at all. Like you would have to go to her yourself and just ask, which she will question you. But if you look like you really need one, she will give you the WARMEST hug ever. Allura’s hugs are delicate in a way. She would hold someone as if they were fragile, being light with her touch because she doesn’t want to accidentally make you uncomfortable.
But despite that, her hugs bring a lot of comfort, they make you feel as if everything is going to be alright. Hugs make Allura feel vulnerable so be prepared for long hugs. She hugs you but just know that she needs that same amount of comfort too. Her hugs feel like finding inner peace, all your nerves instantly settle when she pulls you in her embrace.
Pidge
I feel like Pidge is a somewhat closed off person. I think we’ve seen that Pidge can be an emotional person, but when it comes to physical touch, she doesn’t really think twice about it. Like Allura, you would have to ask her for a hug if you really wanted one. And when you do she might feel a little awkward giving you one😭😭I think she’s really used to only giving her family hugs so giving hugs to friends and you may put her off a little. But after the first few hugs, Pidge would definitely grow to enjoy your hugs!
I feel like she’s the type to rub your back, maybe even rock you guys side to side since she can’t keep still for too long. She might tell a joke while you hug too hehe. Her hugs feel like hugging an old friend, making sure to let you know how much those moments mean to her when you guys have a hugging session.
Keith
Rock bottom, he was an easy decision to make, at least for me. As much as I love Keith, I just KNOW he would be pretty reluctant in giving hugs. He’s not at all used to touching other people like that, he views it as something pretty intimate. So when he finally gives you a hug after some time, he’s pretty nervous, so bro is like really rigid and awkward when hugging you. It would take some time for him to finally loosen up, he’s just so tense.
Keith saves his hugs for people he’s close with. Hugging is Keith’s way of saying “hey I care about you!” He rarely gives hugs though unless he feels the need to. He’s also the type to like rub your back while hugging, it’s something he doesn’t realize he does. It feels weird hugging him at first since he isn’t used to being so close to someone, but he learns to just appreciate the small moment. His hugs feel like summer nights, they’re really refreshing and hugging him is like a new experience everytime.
Something that’s been on my mind all day:
Lance playing fetch with the blue and red lions
@girlboypersonthingy OMG YOU LITERALLY GAVE ME AN IDEAAAA
IMAGINE. Lance just casual walking around since he’s bored on a rare day voltron isn’t needed. He decides to go to the lions hanger tossing around a ball Pidge gave him so “he stops distracting her.”
Of course Lance is a silly, clumsy lad so he accidentally drops his ball, watching as it rolls away from him. He stands still though as he hears something big moving. He looks to where the lions are all sitting only to see the blue lions head tilted in the direction of the ball.
Once he has the ball again, he tosses it in the opposite direction of him, watching with amazement as the lions head moved to follow the ball.
Cue him trying to hype up the blue lion.
“Oh ho ho! You want the ball? You want the ball?! Go get it girl! FETCH!”
Bro literally throws it so hard which causes the blue lion to chase after it. He’s knocked to the ground at the the wind of the lion flying by.
He’s literally cackling as the blue lion moves to him, head lowering down to his body, dropping the tiny ball into his outstretched hand.
“OH MY GOSH YOU ACTUALLY FETCHED IT! YOU’RE SUCH A GOOD GI~I~RL!”
When he throws the ball again though and watches as the lion goes to retrieve the ball, Lance is knocked down to the ground again by a stronger gust of wind. Looking up, he sees the red lion in all its glory staring down at him, the tiny ball between its enormous mouth.
The red lions’ tail is slowly swishing behind its body, waiting for Lance to throw it again.
Lance spends HOURS playing fetch with the two lions, cooing and admiring each time the lions give him the ball back.
“WOW GOOD GIRLS!”
He begins petting the blue lions paw.
“WHOSE A GOOD GIRL?”
Then he runs to the red lions paw and pets it.
“YOU GUYS ARE!!”
It’s so funny because from an outside perspective, you would just see two enormous mechanical lions chasing after a comically tiny ball, only to hand it to a tiny person compared to them.
And the best part is that none of the others believe him when Lance tells them what he’s been doing the past few hours.
“Did you hit your head with the ball too hard?”
“I think Lance has finally lost it.”
“I’m serious guys! Blue first started it and then Red just came outta nowhere! Whoosh! They love me!”
And when he tries demonstrating to them in the hanger, the group has to hold on their laughter as they watch Lance throw the ball across the room and try to sweet talk the two lions into playing again. They never moved from their positions.
Something that’s been on my mind all day:
Lance playing fetch with the blue and red lions
Platonic! Voltron x Tiktok Obsessed Reader
Just another silly headcanon I thought of, i kinda get lost in the sauce when I’m scrolling through tiktok so i was inspired to do this😍🙏 enjoy my guys xoxo💋
Let’s imagine that tiktok is still a relevant thing during this time since this show is set in the future😻
Even before leaving Earth, Reader was very obsessed with tiktok. Phone opened on the app already, you probably had like a couple hours stacked on it. It was the only thing that kept you from dying of boredom
So when leaving the planet, you were DEVASTATED to see that your phone was quite literally useless in space
No charger, no wifi, and no more silly videos to entertain you
The most you had was your camera but the battery was a major problem
The team notices your more dazed-off look during meetings and on missions, often seeing you fiddle with your phone and just swiping through all your apps
That's until you go to Pidge to see if she can work some magic which SHE IS ABLE TO DO (so slay of her tbh)
She explains that she was able to route the phones connection to the electric waves from nearby planets but you stopped listening at that point
You’re both amazed when you reboot the app to see it completely different, yet similar to what it was before, only now it was filled with many different kinds aliens and their own videos
You are able to see the different environments and types of aliens that are scattered across the universe which was super cool to you!!!!
Cue you literally recording EVERYTHING the team does, let it be missions, meetings, or even fights which starts pissing Keith off a bit (bro feels like you’re not taking the whole voltron thing seriously💀💀)
It doesn’t bother you though since now you’re able to drag Lance and Hunk to do different kinds of trends that are popular on the new app
You manage to build up a small fan base because of the videos on your account, many people loving seeing the life of a paladin of Voltron😻‼️‼️
At one point you manage to get all of the paladins and Coran to do mini “get to know the team” videos (which I imagine are like the short videos on YouTube if you know which ones I mean)
Keith thinks the readers whole tiktok account is dumb and ‘useless’ in his words but is completely in shock when you get recognized by many people when visiting new planets because of your popularity
Shiro I think might find the whole thing a bit strange but he definitely entertains your ideas and involves himself with your account. You make him feel young when you force him to do one of the trends that is popular during that time
Allura doesn’t fully understand what the app is used for and see no real use for it until she realizes that your spreading the word of Voltron around. Then she does start forcing herself into your videos, which you don’t really mind (she loves being in your videos but is really awkward💔)
Lance is the one who is with you in most of your videos, often doing dance trends or mini vlogs with you. He loves how people also know him and enjoys the popularity he has with your followers😜 Has stolen your phone just to have Lance one on ones with your followers
Hunk is another one who usually is dragged into any shenanigans you and Lance are up to, whether it’s pranking one of the paladins or teaching your followers how to cook meals (he loves the compliments people give him when they try his recipes out)
Pidge RARELY is in any of your videos, mostly because she doesn’t like having a camera shoved up her face randomly. But she sometimes does do one of your dumb videos when she’s bored and has nothing to do, which leads to you featuring her more often
Keith is a fan favorite honestly, the people love his sarcastic and brooding attitude, which he claims he doesn’t have. He doesn’t mind being in your videos but he’s most of the time standing like a wall not knowing what to do with himself💀💀 (he enjoys being included with you guys though💔)
Coran LOVES being in your videos since he feels like the main character in them! He’s actually stolen your phone multiple times just so he could post some videos of himself, he loves the attention he gets by being Voltrons secondhand man hehe
Overall, the team grew to enjoy your funny and inclusive videos, it helps them break out of the serious routine they’ve gotten used to while in space :D
I have one thing to say about this. Wrong. The only reason Keith didn't want to lead is because he was forced into it. Because him taking over the Black Lion would be like admitting that Shiro really is gine, and Keith didn't want to think that.
Lance wanted the Black Lion for himself. Not for the team. That's why Black rejected him.
'He was already teammates with Pidge and Hunk,' yeah and he sucked. Episode One showed that with no filters. They crashed the simulator and, from Lance's own words later on, they always crash.
'Without him, the Blue Lion would have never went to space.' Um. Without Keith, he wouldn't have found the Blue Lion anyway? Without Pidge, he wouldn't have even gone to Shiro's crash site? Lance is not that pivotal. Keith and Shiro set things in motion.
And Lance making sure everyone got along well? He isolated Keith. He always started shit with him, even when Keith was obviously greiving Shiro. Yeah, for one scene, he set his jealousy aside, which somehow made him the Red Paladin (should have been Allura). But, if I were in any of their shoes, I would not be willing to follow someone who's already had their Lion stolen from them, constantly flirts with any pretty girl, gets jealous over the smallest of things, and has an ego bigger than the teleduv. Yeah, he's insecure, but it's not what he expresses to everyone else. To others, he's egotistical.
Also.
The Black Lion chose Keith specifically because Keith did not want the position for himself. Shiro didn't want Keith to lead because he's his brother and he wants the best for him. If that was the case, he wouldn't be encouraging him to lead them in a war. He chose Keith because Keith proved himself to have the potential to be a better leader than Shiro.
What do I mean by that? Well, I'm talking about how Keith is constantly the first one to issue orders when Shiro's not around or able to and it always works. He's constantly telling the guys what to do when Shiro can't. I'm talking about how Keith advised not going to get Allura. Because, as much as people give him shit for that scene, he was right.
If Thace hadn't been there, Voltron would have been taken and the mission would have been a collosal failure. Allura herself said that they should not have come. Shiro, right then, was not thinking clearly. There were others ways to get Allura back. They should have come up with an actual plan, as Keith suggested though with poorly-chosen words, instead of rushing back in.
Lance showed no affinity for leadership. As far as I'm aware, Lance stans think he should be the Balck Paladin because...? Why? Because you think it'd give him a good character arc? Because he's the everyday man and it makes you feel good about youself? You're sacrificing a well-written character arc for meaningless titles.
Lance did not have to be the Black Paladin to have his own character arc. That's just lazy writing and fans wishing he was Shiro.
I don't know why, but I'm on an angry V:LD rant. But Keith should NOT have been the black paladin. No matter what Shiro said.
Keith was hot-headed, he got frustrated easily, he held anger in. None of those are things that make a good leader. Those are all detrimental to both the functionality of a team, and if let simmer and stew it could even hurt the teammates.
The only reason Shiro said it was because of his relationship with Keith. They were brothers.. He loved him and wanted him to finish what he'd started. Their bond was too close and it clouded his judgement. Hell, Keith didnt even WANT to lead.
A leader is someone who looks out for their team. Makes sure their in the right headspace and are getting along nicely. Someone who holds the team together. A leader should be someone that eases tension between the group. Who did all of those things?
Lance McClain. He did all of those things and he wanted to lead. He literally set the whole plot into motion. Without him the blue lion would have never went to space. Without him The group of humans wouldve never met the Alteans. Hell, Hunk and Pidge wouldn't have even snuck out had it not been for lance. He brought the team together. He was already teammates with Hunk and Pidge. It's arguable, but Lance was Coran's favorite paladin. Once he set aside his crush he and Allura were good friends. He respected Shiro. He and Keith even became good friends. He did that. Lance did.
Lance deserved to lead, and I want to say that the only reason Black opened up to Keith was because of Shiro. He put that out there and as a last wish, and Black fulfilled it. But Lance should've become the Black paladin after Shiro.
Keith being able to reach the spiritual field or whatever it's called should have been something for Lance. I am so tired.
I love Keith, don't get me wrong. But my god the amount of favoritism Keith got by the writers showed.
Lance deserves better.
I keep telling myself that I don't know what the original story of Voltron: Legendary Defender was going to be. I stand by those words. But there are some plot points that I genuinely think were in the first writers' room. The good thing is that those ideas were able to make it to the show.
Keith being half-Galran - it makes too much sense for Keith to be half-Galran in the show. The foreshadowing was really well done and the execution was great.
Shiro going missing/dead - I don't know which one it would have been, but most likely death to parallel Beast King GoLion's death. In the original show, Shiro's death was very emotional and tragic. He dies in his team's arms as he tells them to never give up and keep fighting for a brighter future. I don't know what Shiro's initial fate was going to be past season 2. I don't think we'll ever know unless we find the original writers and ask them. But passing the torch of the Black Lion's paladin to Keith was definitely what was supposed to happen.
Eventually coming back to Earth - I'm not sure what happened in the original Beast King GoLion, but I do believe Team Voltron coming back to Earth was important enough to stay in on the writers' cork board.
Lance and Keith's relationship getting stronger - I'm not a Klance fan, I actually don't ship any ships in Voltron anymore except for my own selfish one. But Keith and Lance's relationship getting stronger was definitely something that was left on the table. The show started with Lance disrespecting Keith, and obviously them bickering. The show ending with Keith and Lance having a mutual respect for one another was important, and much needed for the show. They needed to work as a team, after all.
Edit: Silly little me forgot that I DID watch the first episode of Beast King GoLion, and I remember Earth getting destroyed by the Galra in a genuinely horrendous way. It was actually horrifying.
Marvelous. Beautiful.
Don't worry, he's fine. Just take him to a space hospital, he'll be back in action in no time!
Okay, so I saw this post about comparing a scene from VLD to DotU and I went "I need to redraw this with VLD". And of course @disgruntled-screaming responded with "Do it". So here I am. I did it. I redrew a DotU screenshot for this scene.
This scene. Yup. As a note, yes. I did give Lance the turtleneck. You cannot tell me that he doesn't look better with it. He deserved 80s Lance's turtleneck.
Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy this one! Remember, commissions are available on my Ko-fi. Until next time!
I will say that despite Allura and Lance's relationship getting together too quickly, the way that Lance treats Allura is incredibly sweet.
The way he acts as a boyfriend is incredibly kind and caring. As someone who's been through the ringer in relationships, someone REALLY wanted Lance to stand out as a proper boyfriend.
Whoever wrote those scenes, you did great.
So the basic consensus surrounding VLD's epilogue is that it's bad. I agree. But I did like some things about it.
Pidge's ending is actually really good. I appreciate the Holts working together and making a training facility for future defenders.
Hunk's ending is perfect, and I think that's the only ending that was really thought about in the writer's room other than Pidge's.
Keith's is... fine, I guess? We need more humanitarian organizations, so why the hell not?
Biggest issues? Lance's and Shiro's endings.
While I am 100% on board with Shiro getting married to someone, it should have been that Roy from Macross stand in, as that would be kinda funny. Obviously changing that in my fixit fic because I'm a selfish bisexual. Also "leaving the battle behind"? Depends on how traumatized he is. I feel like him and the Garrison have a few more years together. He is their best pilot and I have a feeling the Garrison would shut down without him.
Lance's ending is an easy fix for me. Make him a fighter pilot. Ego is still there, but he's been humbled by his experiences. Whether he ends up dating Allura or not is up in the air.
happy (almost) julance!!!
