Ok so I headcanon that Shiro got Keith this huge denim jacket. Like 2 sizes to big. Then, everytime Keith gets to a new milestone, Shiro takes him to get a new patch for it. Keith loves it because why wouldn't he? Most of them are puns or gay things. He also has some small space patches. Maybe even some cute little aesthetic patches. The jacket helped him cope when Shiro disappeared.

(It also happens to make a perfect boyfriend jacket. *Wink wink* Klance.)

I'm way too proud of the patches. Specifically the "Lion pride" and "Gay out of the 80's".

Drawing with my finger sucks. I need to find my stylus.

thinking about rival barista klance

keith who works the night shift and makes odd drinks because they sound good and plays 80’s emo rock like depeche mode

lance who works the morning shift and is everyones favorite barista and is always winning the drink competition who plays kali uchis and TV girl

keith and lance who are mild acquaintances that bond over the guy working the previous shift and how bad their music taste is

they know where each other work but assume its just another location in town

keith and lance who are assigned to the same shift and keith clocks in first and puts on queen, then lance clocks in and changes it to surf curse

they see eachother and its so fucking ridiculous they cant help but laugh

I watched voltron recently (ikik it's 2023 voltron's dead etc) so I've become one of the many klance victims who've been sucked into the queerbaiting whirlpool.

Something interesting I've noticed is that klance is regarded as a prime example of queerbaiting and while I'm not disagreeing, ( they had insane chemistry in the first few seasons) it actually wasn't as overt as I thought it would be.

It might be bc a lot of vld fans don't dabble in anime/danmei, so the standards for queer rep in media tend to be lower (you guys deserve better bless). Like how everyone went insane over heartstopper when yoi, given, devilman crybaby, sasaki and miyano, MDZS, TGCF, etc. have been around for a while now, and don't even get me started on bl manga and manhwas. Most Asian shows tend to have a lot of queer coding and rep in general (since fans are more desperate bc of stricter laws y'know) I mean, banana fish, arguably one of the best mlm anime/manga, has been around since the 80's.

I'm used to the "rivals to friends with lots of gay undertones" trope bc I also am a sns victim. Honestly voltron fans got off easy bc if they watched Naruto I think they would foam at the mouth. Sasuke and Naruto definitely had way more development and tension than Keith and Lance, so I had prior preparation for the ultimate sheer disappointment I would inevitably have when watching vld.

4 more voltron aus

WOOOOO yay

AU!Angel Keith - Keith is a seraphim with a human like form (but with ram legs/eyes on his body and a long white mullet/white eyelashes) who his crazy interested in humans, talking about them for hours and getting judged by other angels (He also sees lance from earth and gets all embarrassed by seeing him, that’s the main reason he goes down to earth in his “human form)

AU! 80’s Keith and 2000’s lance - Keith is from the 80’s (AND HAS A MORE FLUFFY MULLET OH MY GOD) and Lance is from the 2000’s (he’s a big fan of Beyoncé too), but accidentally get teleported to the 90’s together and meet, they’re judging each other hardcore for what music they listen to + their outfits (Walkman VS iPod..)

AU!Sweeney Todd - Keith is Sweeney Todd, while lance is Ms Lovett, Pidge is Tobias/toby!! Big fan of this one because I’ve had it since I’ve watched the broadway version and the movie, love the soundtrack too

AU!RENT - Keith is Roger, Lance is Mimi, Lotor is Benjamin, Hunk and pidge is Angel and Tom (and sadly they’re shipped together erm), Romelle and allura are Joanne and Maureen, Shiro is Roger (Keith’s) ex (but in this au; he’s his brother, not his girlfriend like in the musical) and one of my galra ocs is Mark!! Technically, mark would’ve been lance cause he dated allura, but then again.. klance..

and these are all in my mind baybee, WOO

oh and also my skinwalker au but we don’t talk about that (mostly cause lance gets fucking killed by one and Keith goes insane but shhh..)

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^

SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.

Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)

Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.

Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.

Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!

Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.

Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.

Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.

Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3

(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)

#mj talks #oooooh i don't know if i actually want to put this in the show tag. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people that might see this.#fuck it we ball #voltron #anyway. as i said if you like music and you have songs that you think fit please send em over #also who wants to talk about shallura? i want to talk about shallura.#i rewatched the first ~3 seasons (the best part of the show and some of season 3) with my roommate a while back and.#ngl if we're strictly talking about the show itself and not fanworks. i care about shallura SO much more than i care about klance.#oh i should probably tag #klance #in case anyone has that blacklisted and just doesn't wanna see it #BACK TO MY POINT.#rewatch seasons 1 and 2 and you will see there was a REASON everyone included shallura in the background of their fics #and it wasn't just shoving 'space mom' and 'space dad' together #there is a very real and very compelling dynamic there. the mutual respect. the connection that comes with taking responsibility.#watch shiro's whole deal after allura gets herself captured so that he can go free and try telling me it's all in my head. just TRY.#anyway i have a lot of complicated thoughts about shiro's sexuality and most of them boil down to I Don't Think It Was Planned #i think they shoved it in last minute because somebody higher up #(not the writers i don't blame u writers i know that you have people breathing down your necks telling you what you can and can't do)#some higherup didn't like any queer storylines that might have been in the works and pulled them from the show #but then there was fan backlash because... gay people are loud now? people wanted A Queer In Space? wild thought #so they had to save their ass and actually deliver on what they had promised in interviews/on the internet/idk i didn't keep up too much #because it was so clumsily revealed! there was no buildup!#it felt very shoehorned to me unfortunately. when a) they had already built a solid and compelling potential relationship for shiro #(see above)#and b) klance was? right there? like. dude. you /had/ to have seen that. or at least some of it????#backstory dead fiance was not the best move vis a vis queer representation and i reject him #if you want me to care about a relationship try going back to storytelling basics and Show Don't Tell :)#not giving you brownie points for that 'queer representation' :)#anyway. that's my shallura manifesto in the notes.

fic writer asks

tagged by @baronetcoins thanks!

ao3 name: whatcaniwriteinthis

fandoms: mainly hermitcraft/3rd life. red, white, and royal blue. dimension 20 if a season catches my eye but i haven't written anything there yet. previously: haikyuu, dungeons and daddies, percy jackson.

number of works: 86! most of which were written in 3 years, when i was in high school (2014 - 2017)

work i spent the most time on: hungry busy people took 8 months and in my defense that was because i got the fic author curse and had a bunch of Big Life Events all in that span of time

work i spent the least time on: the dragon, the lion and the cat which i wrote and posted in an evening, specifically on new year's eve

longest fic: starry eyes stare through me (13.3k)!! s/o to all my AUFest 23 peeps it was such a great time and i wrote way more than i ever thought i could

shortest fic: irony (80 words) a poem for the 2015 tsukkiyama week, y'all haikyuu ship weeks were my shit theyre like a third of all my works

most hits: known alien, the one and only klance fic i published with almost 13k hits. yall she will not leave me alone. she never will. it's so funny to me that this is my most popular fic

most kudos: also known alien

total word count: 100,021 words! almost ten years after i posted my first fic, i finally hit 100k lol

favorite work of my own: yall how do i choose... like, to be honest. probably let's ditch the dance floor. it's so fun and probably the fic of mine i reread the most. last summer i was in the middle of that fic writer curse and feeling incredibly lonely and working on LDDF was good for me and really rewarding

fic you want to rewrite/expand on: okay im always expanding on LDDF because know she's a full fledged AU lol. i'd love to write another hunger games AU, or just more hunger games fic. little cousin of a friend, because i still have a lot of raf & alex thoughts. and all the fuckign AUs i always have floating around my head.

share a bit of a wip: okay the only stuff im working on rn are for Fic in a Box, so here's a snippet from a haikyuu/kiyoyachi fic i never finshed

“Michimiya-kun, Basketball Captain-kun,” Kiyoko starts, listing off Daichi's rather ridiculously long list of horrible, tormenting crushes. “NO!” Daichi cries, forgetting he was trying to say quiet, and falls back like Kiyoko shot him. “Bokuto-san,” Kiyoko continues mercilessly. Daichi covers his ears like he can block this out. “That girl from the music store,” She hasn’t raised her voice at all, she isn’t that cruel, but this is still funny. “That referee who found Hinata-kun for you that one time, that girl who bumped into you at the mall—” “Okay, she was really pretty you can’t blame me, you wanted to ask her out too.” Daichi defends himself, ignoring everyone else on that list, probably for his own peace of mind.

kiyoko & daichi's friendship means so much to me. as does disaster bi daichi.

tagging: @read-and-write- @officialgleamstar @leafcabbage and @some-sort-of-siren if you'd like!

The difference is that voltron is an IP. The writers do not own these characters at all. They were hired to write a series for an existing IP and they would have to adhere to the people who controls the IP. From what the writers said themselves, They wanted all the paladins to die, not just Shiro, and to replace them with the MFE pilots. So from this you can see how they needed to be reeled in from decisions. You also have contradicting ideas in the writers and the people who did the plot based on this fandom, because many people will claim that ShiroxAllura was legitimate despite the fact that he was Shiro was to die, Or that Klance was a thing despite the show runners saying they never were.

This is a good point, which also probably explains why so many things were in VLD simply for the sake of adhering to how the original 80's show went – adding in characters and such.

(Also ngl I spent too much time wondering how Voltron was in Internet Protocol...lol)

But this, in my opinion, is one of the biggest arguments for why it's important to create new things.

Obviously there's been a fairly consistent train of reboots and remakes (and even spinoffs) in the past several years and it feels like there are not as many original stories. Like you said, with intellectual property, there are certain things you can do and certain things you will not be allowed to do because it is not your original creation. Thank you for pointing this out, because honestly I sometimes forget that VLD is that.

Unfortunately the problem with original ideas is that there's no guarantee of making the money back that a studio has put into it.

I don't know for a fact, but this would make sense why there have been so many reboots and remakes lately – because those are safe. It's stuff that's already familiar so there's a guarantee of at least some people watching it, if only for the sake of nostalgia.

Reboots and remakes can be fine, but unfortunately they can also often com across as out of touch with their actual current audience. And this can very well be because the people who own the intellectual property don't quite understand how times have changed since the original.

Disclaimer: I don't own Voltron Defender of the Universe or the movie /The Grudge/.

Summary: The team watches /The Grudge/ and Pidge decides to mess with Keith.

Author Note: This is Klance.

"Curse of the Pidgeon"

"Are you sure about this? You know I'm not the biggest fan of horror films," Keith stated, starting to stop following his boyfriend.

Lance reached back and grabbed Keith's wrist. "Oh no you don't. You are coming with me, and besides, it's more of a psychological thriller than a true horror film."

"If you're sure." Keith was still a bit apprehensive but allowed Lance to tug him into the lounge. He saw both Hunk and Pidge settled on the couch, apparently waiting for him and Lance.

Lance sat down on Hunk's left side and tugged Keith onto the couch as well. "Let's get started!"

Suddenly, the door opened again, and Allura walked in. "What is going on? I thought you all were going to relax."

"We are relaxing. We're going to watch an Earth movie," Hunk replied.

"What movie?" Allura asked.

"It's an adaptation of a Japanese horror film. It's called /The Grudge/," Pidge answered.

Keith's head snapped to the side. "Lance! You never said it was a /Japanese/ horror film!"

Allura's head cocked to the side. "What's wrong, Keith?"

Keith seemed a little uneasy, but he explained, "Most Japanese horror films are based on a legend or folk tale, and I lived in Japan with my father until my mother could find a house for us. I grew up listening to these legends."

"Calm down, Keith. It'll be fine. Besides, we are on Arus. Nothing that happens in the movie can happen here," Lance stated.

"May I join you?" Allura inquired.

"I don't know if you'll like it, but you are welcome to stay," Lance responded with a shrug. He put an arm around Keith's waist to make sure he wasn't going anywhere. Lance waited until Allura was seated on Pidge's other side before he said, "Now, let's start the movie!"

The screen blacked out before words started appearing on the screen. (The words in single quotes turn red before fading after the line disappears).

/When someone dies in the grip of a powerful rage...

A 'curse' is born.

The curse gathers in that place of 'death'.

Those who encounter it will be consumed by its 'fury'./

Keith squirmed uncomfortably in his seat but was relieved when he felt Lance tighten his grip. He just wasn't sure watching this was such a good idea.

%%%

Keith was walking back to his room after the movie had ended. He had been right. It wasn't a good idea to watch that movie, especially at night. Why did he let Lance convince him to watch it? It was because Keith can't tell him 'no' for small stuff like this.

He had been certain that he was alone in the corridor, but the pitter patter on small bare feet on the floor made him doubt it. He tried to put it out of his mind, even though it was quite similar to something that happened in the movie. 'We are on Arus. It's not here.'

More audible quick footsteps were heard followed by a cat's yowl. Keith jumped a little as he quickly looked around. There was no one around. He calmed his breathing and continued on his trek.

However, he stopped in his tracks as he saw something in the darkness a fair distance ahead of him. It seemed like a person, but their movements were jerky like they were having trouble walking. Maybe a villager needed help. Keith was about to hurry over, but a noise came from that direction that sounded exactly like the death rattle from the movie. The noise combined with the movements had Keith hightailing it in the opposite direction.

%%%

Pidge was cackling as he watched Keith run away from the projection of the main antagonist of the film. He saved the recording and sent it to both Hunk's and Lance's tablets.

Lance sighed and typed back, 'You know he's going to be a beast during lion drills.'

Suddenly, the door to Lance's room opened, and Keith practically dove into Lance's bed. "She's here."

"Who?" Lance asked, already knowing the answer, and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend.

"Kayako."

Lance sighed. He would have to explain it to Keith in the morning as there was no use trying to explain it to him when he was wound up like this. "You're safe here, Keith. I've got you."

Lance's tablet softly dinged with Pidge's reply of 'Worth it.'

and then of course keith decided he got to be with lance instead

80's Lance: So... who's the kid?

Pidge: Oh that's... um... that's Lance and Keith's son, Jerome. Which I guess kinda makes him your son... in a way.

80's Lance:.... I'm too young to be a father.

80's Keith: That's the only thing your getting from this?

Someone had been creeping up on Lance’s high scores lately.

Lance had been going to this arcade since he was ten years old, back when all the best games were just being installed like Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga. Now half the games had changed but Lance’s favorites were still around, and he had been working on beating his own high scores for the last seven years - as well as mastering every new game that came in.

Lance was so familiar with this arcade, his home turf, that he even knew all of the regulars by face, and most by name. So when a new guy started looming around and a new set of initials started climbing their way up the leaderboard, it was easy to connect one dot with two.

The guy he suspected was here now, focused on a game of Afterburner, leaning over the game just enough to make his red leather jacket ride up so Lance could see the shape of his ass in tight black denim. Not that Lance typically spent a whole lot of time looking at dude’s asses, but. When perfection was in front of you, it warranted notice.

Speaking of perfection, this guy was totally making Afterburner his bitch. Lance watched him from behind, annihilating enemy ships and smoothly flying through the skies, dodging enemy fire without so much as skimming the ground as it flipped upside down and back again.

“You’re pretty good,” Lance said after a while, leaning up against the arcade machine to get his attention. “You’re KKS, right?”

The newcomer - KKS - nodded. “Keith Kogane-Shirogane,” he said, eyes not peeling away from the screen as he blew a dismissive bubble of pink gum out of his mouth.

Lance whistled. “Quite a mouthful. Mind if I just call you Keith?”

“If you feel the need to talk to me,” was Keith’s clipped reply.

Lance grinned to himself. He wanted to be annoyed at this guy's dismissive attitude, but instead all Lance could think was that that eyeliner looked really cute on him. Made him look like some kind of hard rock punk kitten. Even his standoffish vibe was kind of working for Lance.

Did he dare try to pick up a dude at his regular hangout spot, though? Did he want everyone in the arcade to know he liked men?

“What about you?” Keith asked through his bubblegum. “You got a name, or are you just some kind of creep?”

Yeah, fuck it. If anyone noticed him hitting on Keithy-kitten here and didn’t like it, they could just fuck right off. This was Miami, baby, and anything rolled in the City of Magic. “I’m Lance,” he said, still torn between watching the Afterbuner game Keith was wrecking and Keith’s face as he did it. “Also known as ‘LEM.’”

“I figured,” Keith said, and Lance watched as he divebombed into the ground to take out his last two lives and finish up the game. “If you were anyone else, you wouldn’t be strutting around like you own the place.”

He punched in his initials and finally turned to regard Lance, eyes flickering up and down Lance to give him a good once-over. “So tell me what’s up, Lance? Just come over here to ruin my concentration?”

“You were doing just fine even with me here,” Lance said easily. “I was just wondering if you wanted to play doubles with me. You know, partner up for a few rounds.”

Keith’s bubblegum snapped as he considered, before he shrugged. “If you got the quarters.”

Lance grinned. They went for Pac-Man first, Lance paying for Keith’s game as they both started up on opposite ends of the screen. And if one of them individually was good the two of them together were phenomenal, blasting through levels at top speed and racking up points like they were nothing.

Lance bumped his hips against Keith’s multiple times while they were playing, using the loading screens between levels to flirt with Keith and generally brush against him as much as possible.

They switched over to Galaga after a while, but multiplayer on this game was just taking turns. It left Lance with more time to concentrate on flirting with Keith, testing the limits of what the other gamer would put up with in terms of Lance’s bad pick up lines. Keith didn’t talk much, still chewing absently on his gum as he annihilated his turn at the game, but he didn’t tell Lance to fuck off and sometimes he’d lightly kick at him or bump his hip against Lance’s, which Lance was fairly confident to be his way of flirting back.

“You know, most guys would probably throw the game so I can get my turn faster. If they were trying this hard to impress me.” Keith mentioned idly, leaning against the machine as he waited for his turn.

“How’s that supposed to impress you?” Lance said back, taking his eyes off the game long enough to glance at Keith. “You want someone who will lay down at your feet, or someone you can actually play with?”

Keith smirked, and it looked like Lance had passed whatever test he was playing at. So Lance made his move, abandoning the game mid-level to turn to Keith and ask, “So what does it take for a guy to get your phone number, then?”

Keith stared at him for a long second, considering. Then, he pointed to the wall behind the counter, declaring, “I’ve had my eye on that pink hippo on the wall. Win it for me, and I’ll go out with you.”

Lance’s eyes widened. The hippo on the wall was no joke - the thing was massive, a cheerful pink plush monster with huge smiling jaws, and it cost 3,000 tickets to win.

They’d already earned a few tickets just from goofing off all night. And Lance still had a stash of tickets of his own just from coming here so often, which meant…

Lance nodded firmly. “I’ll win it for you before this place closes tonight.”

A thick black eyebrow raised. “You think you can do it all in one night?” He said, genuinely interested for the first time all night.

“I can’t let you get away, can I?” Lance grinned at him. “I won’t get a chance like this again.”

Keith smiled, leaning himself against the wall. “Well then. I gotta see this.”

It did in fact, take all night. Lance started with skeeball, because it was a fast way to wrack up tickets with his perfect aim. Keith even had the decency to look impressed as Lance scored bullseye after bullseye, until his arms got tired and his aim started to falter.

Other than that his best two games were Duck Hunt and Donkey Kong, and a few hours straining his eyes on each and he finally had the tickets he needed. He slammed them down on the counter fifteen minutes before closing time, pointing to the hippo on the wall with a grin that bordered on feral.

And then the best part happened. Lance handed the stuffed animal off to Keith, who took it iot his arms with wide eyes and a slight bush tinging his cheeks.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe you actually got it for me,” he said, actual human emotion in his voice for the first time all night. “It’s so cute…” he rubbed his face against the doll’s, smiling happily as he declared, “And so much softer than he looks. I thought it would be cheap for sure but this is actually a really nice plush.”

He stopped cuddling the doll to blink up at Lance, his blush fully overtaking his face. “I suppose this means I owe you a date.”

“If you have the time,” Lance said casually, fully enjoying everything he learned about Keith as they got to know each other. He knew the guy was cute, but he hadn’t expected THIS level of adorable.

Keith used the free hand not currently cradling an oversized plush to flip his hair off his neck. “You can start by walking me home.”

Offering his arm, Lance escalated his date out of the arcade. “After you, my lovely.

Behind them, the guy at the ticket counter rolled his eyes. No one noticed.
