Galran Keith hcs
I like to think that as Galran's genetics get diluted, the animal they correspond with just gets smaller. Like, since Keith is only half-galra, he has behaviors similar to a bobcat while Krolia and Kolivan have big cat traits.
Like, bobcats are awesome at climbing so Keith is always on top of things he shouldn't be on top of. Also, they don't roar, they scream/yowl, and hiss. AND, unlike big cats, bobcats can purr! Keith has definitely been on a mission with the blades where he gets frustrated and just...yowls. And it makes so much sense for him to hiss when Lance starts getting on his nerves.
His galran traits freak out the paladins/alteans a bit (save for Shiro, he's seen worse) but the blades think they're adorable. Bc, imagine you're Kolivan (completely galran/big cat traits) and there's this scrawny new kid who hisses when he gets pissed.
That's it for now, I love galran Keith. <333

Even more Keith headcannons because my health is getting even worse
- if he feels safe, he can fall asleep literally anywhere
- if you can’t find him, it’s very likely he’s just chilling on a roof somewhere
- he was the type of kid to eat bugs off the ground
- he used to bite people as a kid and since he has sharp teeth he’s caused a lot of damage
- he can see really well in the dark and so he never really bothers to turn lights on. The amount of times Shiro and Adam have found him cooking in the middle of the night in the dark is astounding
- can drive anything, you give him a set of controls and he will figure it out in seconds
- one time he refused to eat anything but animal crackers for two straight weeks, Shiro was so done
- since he grew up in the desert he never learned how to swim. He never mentioned this to anyone and one time he went to the lake with Shiro and Adam and almost drowned
- he chews on his lip a lot and since his teeth are so sharp it’s a miracle he hasn’t bitten through them
- if you wake him up you will end up with a knife to your throat, it’s a reflex and I can’t be stopped
- plays the knife game when he gets bored and has almost given Shiro multiple heart attacks
- if you leave him alone for a second he will wander off, Shiro learned this the hard way it involved an alligator, a tree, and Keith getting a new tooth to add to his collection
- he gets sensory overload very easily, he will start mumbling and get ready irritated, just get him some headphones and turn the lights off and he’ll feel better
- has a very high pain tolerance and Shiro has had to drag him kicking and screaming to the nurses office on multiple occasions for a broken bone he said “wasn’t a big deal”

CAN YOU WRITE KIETH OR LANCE X MALE READER
OR, OR, OR VOLTRON X READER HEADCANONS!! DATING OR CRUSHES OR COURTING IDC BUT USE GENDER NEUTRAL READER SO EVERYONE CAN READ IT ☺️
PLEASE
I went with the dating headcannons, hope you like them :)
Warning!! I have not finished Voltron completely yet, but I do know bits and pieces so this might be a bit ooc
Voltron dating headcannons (GN reader)
Keith:
* I like to think that his love language is acts of service
* He’s very new to the whole “dating” thing and isn’t really good with his words so he relies on doing things for you
* Need help training? He’s got you. Stressed out? He’s not the best at it, but he’ll be damned if he doesn’t try and help his lover
* I don’t see Keith as the type of guy to use a lot of pet names
* Like dont get me wrong, I love pet names, but I personally can’t see Keith using them
* As tough and mean he is to others, you see a softer side of him
* Not in a “he’s really a big baby on the inside” crap
* More of a “he feels more calm and relaxed around you”
* After a stressful mission, he will definitely enter your room without a word and just flop either next to you or on top of you
* No words would be expressed, all he needs is some quiet and you to decompress
* In no way would he EVER let you get hurt
* This man will protect you with his life
* He can’t stand the thought of losing you, it kills him just thinking about the “what if” situations
* Not a big social person, but if you are then I think he will at least tag along for the ride
* Keith definitely worries that he’s not the “best” or “ideal” boyfriend for you
* He’s part Galra, he’s mean, he’s abrasive, he’s stubborn, what could you possibly see in him?????
* He needs a reminder now and then that he’s enough for you and that you love him
* You’ll sometimes find him late at night in the training room if he’s had a tough day
* You’ll have to physically drag him into bed and hold him down for him to sleep
Lance:
* Oh boy, he’s not called “lover boy” for no reason
* Absolutely loves to compliment you every single day
* Calls you stuff like, “mi amor” and “my girl/boy/partner”
* He likes to show you off and talks about you a lot
* Honestly the rest of the team is a little sick of it but they are also happy that he found someone like you
* Takes you on joy ride in his lion when he has some downtime
* He gets an earful from Allura
* His love language is definitely physical affection
* He loves holding your hands, your hugs, kissing you any chance he gets, and cuddling you
* Thinks he’s the big spoon but is really the little spoon most of the time
* When he gets homesick, he likes to be around you and talk to you to distract himself
* But some nights he’s crying in your arms, missing home, missing his family, and not knowing if or when he gets to see them again
* He likes to tell you stories from when he was little, what his family is like, and stories from his time at the garrison
* Will complain to you about how Keith annoyed him this time
* Overall, definitely a great lover
Shiro:
* Shiro is definitely more experienced with love than the other two
* He calls you stuff like “darling” “sweetheart” and other cute older pet names
* His love languages are quality time and acts of service
* I like to think that with all the excitement and craziness that comes with being apart of Voltron that he likes to just spend time with his lover and relax
* You two don’t even have to be doing something together
* He could be reading while your in the same room doing something completely different and he wouldn’t mind, just as long as he’s around you after such a stressful day
* Has severe PTSD and get nightmares almost every night
* He’s used to dealing with it alone but once you enter the picture he’s gonna have to get used to you waking up with him to comfort him
* Always tells you to go back to sleep and that “it’s nothing” but you know better than that
* He also has some self esteem issues about his metal arm, being disgusted by it some days and wanting nothing more than for it to disappear
* Please comfort him, space dad needs some love 🥺
* Likes to listen to you talk, your voice grounding him to reality and comforting him in times of need
* Like Keith, he is also protective of you
* After Adams death, he can’t help but have nightmares of you meeting the same fate
* Sometimes he becomes so paranoid about it that you have fights about missions you are sent on
* He knows you can take care of yourself, he trained you after all, but that won’t ease his nerves and memories about Adam
Hunk
* MY FAVORITE BOY 😍😍😍
* He’s so sweet to you, you don’t understand!
* He likes to call you “baby” “baking partner” or just a shorten version of your name if you have one
* His love languages is definitely gift giving and physical affection
* He loves cooking and baking new recipes for you to try and give him feedback
* With physical affection, he’s gonna be a bit nervous in the beginning about it, having never been in a relationship before, but he slowly starts to get more into it
* Hand holding, cuddling, hugging, there all his favorite ways to say he loves you
* He definitely one of the more nervous one when it comes to you fighting along side Voltron
* Hunk himself is more of a pacifist and is therefore already a little uneasy about even HIMSELF fighting
* So for you, his lover, to be put in the front lines with them has him very uneasy and nervous
* He just loves you so much he would never forgive himself if something happened to you 🥺
* He is always there if you have something on your mind that’s bothering you
* Whether it’s something small or large, he will always listen to you
* And vice versa, if he has something on his mind, be there for him cause he sometimes feels like he’s not listened to by the others
Pidge
* Definitely the least experienced out of the group (her and Keith are like neck and neck)
* I don’t see her using pet names, much like Keith
* Idk it just strikes me as odd for her to use pet names
* She definitely has stupid nicknames for you, but not stuff like baby or sweetheart
* If you don’t like that, sue me
* Her love language is definitely quality time
* She likes when you come around while she’s working on a new project so she can geek out about it
* You don’t even have to understand anything she says, she just likes when you’re around her when she’s working
* Also has you test some of the safer projects, she would never let you NEAR the more outrageous ones
* Unlike the others, she’s actually really open to you fighting along side her
* Don’t get me wrong, she would murder everyone if you got hurt, but she likes working with you and strategizing
* Will make you a weapon and enhanced suit if you asked
* Even if you don’t, she probably already has them in the works

I don't know how it happened, but I'm somehow back in my Voltron phase, so have a stupid conspiracy theory that I enjoy thinking about.
Okay, so we all know how Keith is half Galra and looks nothing like it? Well, he's a spitting image of his mother, minus the actual Galra traits. And yes, I know genetics are Hell's lottery, but bare with me here!
Keith looks entirely human; from his skin tone to his size. The most we really get is that split second of his eyes going yellow. Yes, he's only half Galra, but all of the other half Galra characters are noticeably, well, Galra! From the looks of it, Galra genes seem to be pretty dominant, so by all means, Keith should have some physical traits, right? But he doesn't!
The thing is, Keith grew up on Earth, where looking like that could have been dangerous. He'd need to look human in order to survive, which brings me to the crack-headcannon itself:
What if Krolia was part Altean and passed that down to Keith as well?
Alteans are capable of changing their skin color and height in order to blend in, "Sacred Alteans" having even more control over their appearance. (I checked the wiki to clarify this.)
Krolia was a spy for the BoM, meaning she had to be good at acting and being the alien equivalent of a chameleon would definitely help with that.
Also, I just think it'd be really neat to see Allura so conflicted over this, because on one hand, Keith's part Galra, the race that destroyed her planet and took away everything she'd ever known and loved. On the other, he's also part Altean, potentially one of the only remaining Alteans, if only fractionally so, aside from herself and Coran (I'm setting this before Lotor shows up.)
I just think it'd be really cool to have some Allura-centric angst where she debates Keith's loyalty and whether blood defines a person.
I spend so much time thinking up random AUs and trying to rationalize them, so please be nice.

Galra keith headcannons?
I have so many requests to do this week- NFAKJN so, I'll do this one first. Thank you for the question!! - I'll do this as full Galra Keith so he was most likely raised by his mother, taken away from Earth. He's still half but more Galra characteristics showed in his birth so Krolia thought it was better if she took him and raised him in the blade. - I always give him a long tail with a bit of fluff at the end, I just think it's cute and it would be great to see Keith with more Galra characteristics, not just his teeth, eyes, skin, or ears changing. - Have y'all seen Ikimaru's Galra Keith design?
Tumblr media
^ Basically this absolute bean <3 - I love the idea of him having lavender/soft-purple skin. Just the idea of it matches so well and contrasts with his otherwise dark color palette.
- Krolia eyes. His eyes are like Krolia's, except maybe a bit darker. But I just love the idea of him being a mini-me of his mother. - Keith's teeth, specifically his canines, grow slightly when he is mad or feels strong emotions. - Since I'm doing this as full Galra Keith. His hair is much longer and grows a lot faster too, I would love to say he keeps it that length but no. Whenever it grows, he cuts it off and makes it into his fucking mullet again.
- I love the idea of Galra's being cat-like. Purring, chirping, or mewling if they were pleased or even just sleeping... it gives them such a cute aspect to the otherwise "evil" Galra most people know. So like.. imagine Keith just sleeping and purring in his sleep. That's just the image I wanted to see.
- I'm also gonna add some Krolia + Baby Keith headcanons here: When Krolia first brought her new kit back to the blade, she couldn't leave him alone at all as Keith would cry until she was back at his side once more.
- Baby Keith loved being held by his mom around the headquarters and whenever she tried to put him down, he would cry and cling to her like any other kit would. (Is it obvious I wanna talk more about Galra kits and their whole deal?)
Anyways. I probably could think of so many more headcanons but I legit have no brain space to think this early in the morning so yeah <3

Klance headcannons while i suffer from writers block
Keith tells Lance that when they get back to earth, he'll build Lance a house by the ocean in Varadero with a gazebo.
Lance quietly suffers all night from the urge to tell Keith he loves him so much
When Keith is in a healing pod, Lance stresses so badly he knits. He crochets. Pidge has go drag him out of a space shop that sells yarn so many times that she doesnt even blink when he turns up with purple yarn.
Keith has so many hippos, bees and sharks that Lance has made for him.
He keeps them all on his bed.
They play stupid games on the tablets in the castle and Lance destroys Keith in all of them
Keith is a master at games on a console. Unless theyre horror and then he turns into a ball of terror and dread
Not much for public affection other than holding hands and a quick peck on the cheek, they've found other ways to assure each other in public
Keith says thinks to him in the galra tongue that leaves Krolia and Kolivan sharing a look each time without fail
Lance taps any part of Keith he can subtly three times to tell him he loves him
When Lance gets frustrated with himself, instead of pulling his hair out or biting his nails like he used to, Keith lets him braid his hair at least a thousand times
Lance got the big brother talk from Shiro
Funnily enough, so did Keith
Theyre so in love it physically makes Pidge sick but she loves them so when they smile softly at each other, she just turns away
When Keith leaves for BoM, they face time every chance they get. Most of the time Lance is in red and Keith always gets the faint feeling of happiness in the back of his head, along with a small flash of them both and a whisper of 'mine'.
One time Kolivan came in when Lance was telling Keith a story and took a picture of his face just to bully him because of how in love he was
Keiths background on his phone is lance smiling with his sister Veronica and the sun is in the background, with purple skies and sand in his hair from the beacj in Varadero
Lances background is Keith staring up at the sky, unaware hes being photographed, while a fire crackles between them.
(They were watching the sun set in the desert around where Keith stayes during The Year that Wont Be Spoken Of and get distracted so they wait for the sun rise)
Keith is little spoon while Lance is human body pillow for both Keith and Kosmo
Thats about ir for rn cause the inspiration just struck again! Bye!

fic rec friday 1
welcome the the first fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.
1. Blast Zone by @mareepicurean
In the middle of a mission, a bomb going off leaves Lance unable to hear. Still, while he's deaf, the rest of his team are the ones that won't listen.
This is one of my voltron fics ever. I’ve read it regularly since it came out in 2017, and it was one of the big inspirations of my deaf lance fic. The fic does a really good job of team hurt/comfort and Lance’s insecurities without making the team weirdly evil. An awesome fic that I highly recommend. (Also, there’s some excellent Shiro & Lance!)
2. Perishing Pearls by @ohcontrary
A training session with the team goes awry when Lance has to spar against Allura, who's wielding her new whip. The mere sight of it raises ghosts he'd much rather forget.
This one is also heavy on the angst, although fair warning: it mentions past child abuse, so tread carefully. The fic is handles complicated family dynamics and grief really well. It is a great established klance hurt/comfort fic. 
3. How To Train Your Galra by magisterpavus [EXPLICIT]
“Shiro, I fucked up,” Keith blurted, wringing his hands.
Shiro paused mid-punch, shooting him a quizzical look. “What? What happened?”
“I think,” Keith whispered, “I think I accidentally roofied Lance. With my dick.”
This series is the walking proof that 2016 fics hit different. Should 14 year old me have been reading it? Probably not. It’s hugely NSFW, so definitely proceed with caution, but it’s a banger and has a lot of good banter, team as family, enemies to lovers, exes to lovers, and more. Honestly a lot of fun and a lot of face-palming, just remember to heed the tags.
4. If It Ain’t Broke by @overlymetaromantic
A 5 plus 1: Five times Lance takes a hit for the team, and one time the team takes a hit back.
There’s this specific scene in this fic (it’s a bit of a spoiler) where Lance is getting shit from a worried team, who’s upset about him continually putting himself at risk, someone asks “Even if it means putting yourself at risk?” and Lance doesn’t even hesitate before saying “Yes!” It’s such an easy description of Lance’s character that it makes me emotional every time. 
5. Medic Lance by Fullmetal_Bitch
Multi-chap ft. my headcannon that Lance is the team's unofficial medic. Basically, it's a 5 + 1 of Lance helping the others when they're hurt and them helping him, just with a couple extra chapters. Story is so much better than this summary, I swear.Story is complete but the chapters did get revised so let me know whether you reckon it reads smoother now!
Medic Lance my beloved, truly. I feel like it fits him so well, especially as the Blue Paladin. This also has really good BAMF Lance, and Lance interacting with all the lions! Amazing, longer story. 
that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

More Pre-Canon/Kerb Headcannons Part 2
Keith has piercings, ear piercings for the most part, but piercings. He got good at hiding them (either in the foster system or the garrison.) so everyone was kinda surprised, not Shiro though, Shiro thought they were cool.
Keith went to therapy a couple years after his dad died but stopped after middle school.
Keith had a vent sketchbook he kept in the back of his closet, no one touched it obviously, but old habits die hard.
Shiro journaled every morning, usually drinking tea or some breakfast beverage, and night, usually tea or hot cocoa. Sometimes you’d find Keith on the opposite end of the couch, headphones in.
Shiro hated hospitals long before the galra, it came with being in them a lot as a kid. (I’m slightly projecting.)
Keith once got Shiro a custom made ’World’s Okayest Brother’ mug as a joke, Shiro used that thing every day.
Keith hates birthday candles, especially the ones where you can’t blow them out, he’s heard to many horror stories from either his dad or his dad’s fellow firefighters.
Keith usually had a pair of earplugs and ear buds in his pocket, and an extra pair for if Matt forgets his, or if Pidge is around, and forgets hers.

Galran Biology
As someone who LOVES big cats, I love how the Galra are super feline. However, a lot of the Galran Keith hcs are house cat behavior. Which is still super cute but let's take a second to imagine how that 'Big Cat Biology' works for the Galra.
Increased hearing and sight are obvious advantages for hunting/survival (Their massive ears and their pupils dilate super easily)
If we stay true to larger feline nature, their teeth wouldn't be sharp but their jaw pressure would be insane. Same thing for claws and paws. The pressure and weight behind those are what makes them deadly.
Agility is something we can already see in Keith and is a trait that should be common in any Galran
I would say something about growling/roaring but since those are so different across species it probably differs from person to person. Anywho, I love cats and love all the Galran Keith hcs, this is just me gushing about how cool big cats are. I think I'll post some more Keith specific hcs later :)

I like to think that Keith sleeps with a lot of blankets whenever he has the opportunity.
Like A LOT
back when he lived with Shiro and Adam his bed had at least six blankets and three pillows that he would burrow into like the cryptid he is.
It just makes me happy

Headcannon: Lance hates being alone so when it's getting close to bed time he'll sit and watch Keith train until he heads to bed. Lance never asked to share a bed or anything but Keith seems to just know?? Do with this what you will :)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
-----
He dragged his hand along the cool metal of the castle wall as he walked. It was getting close to bed time which meant lance was going to be alone; something he hated most in the world.
He hated sleeping alone, staying in a bedroom alone, he hated every aspect of not having something living next to him. It was the same routine every single night, he could walk this route with his eyes closed at this point.
Assuming no Galra attack they would all eat dinner together, Lance would help Hunk clean up. Then they would sit and chat for a bit. Sometimes Pidge would join them, sometimes they wouldn't; it was 50/50. If Pidge didn't join them Lance would wonder off and find them and spend some time with them. They would play with ramble chunks of metals as Pidge explained whatever complex project they were working on.
Lance would move on to Coran next, helping him with whatever project he was working on. He would stop and see Allura, chatting with her as she got ready to turn in for the night. He would swing by Shiro and talk about random things. And when everyone was turned in for the night that left one person; Keith.
Lance wasn't sure if he ever slept. If he did maybe it was a couple of hours at a time. Either way he was always on the training deck, without fail until the late hours of the night.
Lance never joined him on the platform, just sitting near the door watching him practice with various weapons. He knew Keith was aware of his presences, and after a couple of weeks he stopped seeming confused when Lance would show up.
They sat for an hour or two before Keith would stop. "End training sequence!" He used the bottom of his shirt to wipe the sweat off his forehead. "Looking a bit sleepy over Lance."
Lance gave a lazy nod, he was about half way from dozing off; he usually was. "Hm are you done for the night?" His voice was a bit muffled with sleep as he stifled a yawn.
"Yeah," Keith began to walk towards his teammate. "Gonna hit the shower, come on."
Lance forced himself to stand up, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. They walked towards their bedrooms, Lance trying to swallow the dread of being in his room by himself again.
"Why don't you just go to bed when you feel yourself falling asleep?" Keith asked with a side eye, but his voice held no negative tones.
Lance didn't respond, his reason was stupid in his opinion. He grew up sharing a bed room with two siblings and then Hunk and the Garrison. He wasn't used to being alone, even after all this time in space he hadn't adjusted.
They stopped in front of his door and Lance typed in the code to open it, "see you later mullet."
A hand grabbed his wrist and let go as quickly as it was gripped. Keith's face was red as a tomato and he held his hand like Lance's skin burned him. "Did you want to hang out longer?"
Lance raised his eyebrow in a questioning look; that wasn't part of the routine.
"Uh sure?" He found himself on Keith's bed, admiring the lack of personality in his room while Keith showered. His eyes began to droop a bit more. Keith emerged a couple of moments later, drying his hair with a towel, dressed in a lose shirt and pants.
Lance rubbed his eyes again, trying to come up with a conversation as Keith sat down next to him. "We don't have to talk."
Lance blinked a couple of times, "then why did you want to hang out?"
Keith shrugged and laid down behind Lance, his back to the wall. "I like your silent company."
Lance smiled, more to himself then Keith, "I'm the best company."
Keith hummed, "don't get too cocky now."
They stayed like that for awhile, Lance eventually finding himself slumping down next to Keith. He knew he should have left, he knew he should have gone to his own bed. But even the soft breathing from Keith soothed him.
Keith made a small grunt noise as Lance laid down next to him, already drifting off himself.
I can lay here for the night, he looked at Keith's sleeping face, and he closed his eyes, letting Keith's soft breathing lull him to sleep.
-----
I hope I did this idea justice <3
Thank you!

Headcannon that Galra pupils are like cats (they can get all big or thin) and humans (in the sense that they dilate and get all big when they see smth they rlly like/love)
Keith, staring intensely at Lance as he goofs off with Hunk, laughing and smiling like the sun: *eyes dilating, getting all big and cute like a cat*
Shiro, with a front row view, sipping tequila with Krolia: on Earth, that expressed is called "being absolutely and totally whipped"
Krolia, nodding, sipping her tequila as well: yes, among Galra a gesture like that shows the love and affection between mates.

Headcannon that if Keith uses his Galra form too frequently, it will start to interfere with his regular human appearance too. Like, the features get stuck and he just has to walk around with fangs and slightly purple hair for like three days until they finally go back to normal.
I like to imagine that it especially affects his height. Like, he’s a little taller in Galra form, and if he’s in it for long stretches of time and goes back to normal, he just stays taller for a bit before slowly going back to his regular height over time.
Imagine that he left for the blades, leaving slightly shorter than Lance. Then, returns a whole three inches taller and Lance just loses his shit. One: Keith is taller than him, two; Keith is hot.
Over time, Keith goes back to normal and all is right in the world, but he always threatens to go into Galra form for a few days then go back to normal just for the extra height. Lance is devastated by both sides
