Loathe the way they light candles in Rome

But love the sweet air of the votives

Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone

Engage with the pain as a motive

Ok but what if Alteans can take information from someone's head by kissing them? Like Starfire but could be used for more malicious purposes. I'd suppose that Alteans can combat it quite easily but people of other species don't understand it and can't defend their brains.

I'd also imagine that different people store the information and memories in their brains differently. Lance's brain is a comfy book shelf filled with scrapbooks whereas Keith's brain, I think, would be filled with different notebooks with haphazardly notes about the memories. The Alteans don't get the memories the way that the person sees them, they get them in these weird, material-esc forms which they can inspect in the mindscape.

Allura wouldn't have known English, she kissed one of the paladins to inspect their language and also learn about whoever just stomped into her castle with dirty shoes. I'm in favor of her kissing Keith so it gives Lance something to be jealous of. Unfortunately, Allura doesn't understand English so she's desperately trying to grab stuff that looks like it might be about the other intruders to copy and take back to her mindscape and ends up grabbing just a bunch of random stuff.

This would show up for comedic effect by her randomly asking what seems like a stupid question and then they remember she's an alien and then they remember that she's supposed to have Keith's memories and they look over at him and he looks like he's about to die of embarrassment because he in fact doesn't know this really obvious thing and he feels stupid. Alternatively, she uses language or jokes that are very specific to Keith and it freaks people out. This is, of course, before she develops her own sense of the English language and can communicate in her own way. What confuses everyone is the accent. Keith doesn't have a British accent. Why does she? (I certainly don't want to figure out the logic of that so it remains a mystery as well as most Altean culture.)

Allura introduces herself to all the intruders by Keith's memory of them. She's like, "Ah, Pidge. You fucking beat Keith at Uno on board game night and he will never forgive you for that. And Shiro, you are a kind and compassionate man. Hunk, is it Hunk? Or is that just a nickname for friends only? Oh, and Lance."

Even better if Lance is like "I think you should get to know me better. I have so much information in my brain that you need to take a look at." And Allura says, "No, there really isn't."

Btw I'm posting about this because what if Keith and Lance were secret dating and Allura found out from the mice but she was suspicious of Lance's intentions because she knows Lance is like, really flirty with any girl that he sees (including mostly Allura) and also, she's seen those hearts scribbled in the corner of Keith's mind notebook, ok? So she treats Lance a little differently and he notices and pulls her aside alone to ask her what's up and she's like "I know you and Keith are dating and I don't trust that you love him because I know damn well that he loves you and my team's dynamic isn't going to shift because you just had to flirt with another alien girl."

Lance is like "woah, woah, hold on here. I can show you. Just kiss me."

And Allura kisses him and his intentions are true. He loves Keith. Really fucking unfortunately, though, Keith only just walked in on that "just kiss me" part.

awawawawaaawEawawewaw BECAUSE I CANT KEEP THINGS TO MYSELF!!!!!!

idea by @soulreapin

I’m about to get into voltron again.

this is going to be a mistake

But she’s so pretty!!

Lance used to braid Rachel's hair back on Earth so ofc he asks Allura if he can braid hers

It's Valentine's Day quick post Allura 🏃

>:O

The team sharing with the Alteans the wonders of a Beach Day!! ... even when it is hailing before they can even make one sand castle.

silly headcanon of mine that hunk really likes crosswords but there aren't any in english/that someone from earth would actually be able to do in space so pidge makes crosswords for him and it becomes an entire family affair solving them

(sh@ladins dni)

+bonus

sorry for dropping off the face of the earth with my art here’s an allura thingy

“oh the princess of what ? we’re the only ones out here and she’s no princess of ours”

pidge from that one episode am i right

she will be the warrior of the north and southern seas

Can I interest you in Romellura date night outfits?

The joke in voltron where pidge asks the team what they're thinking about and Shiro responds Zarkon and Hunk responds calzones but instead of just being "Hey does it have to be about zarkon all the time" it veers into sincere territory where Hunk explains that he misses Earth food, that making replications is nice but it's like if you had a particular version of a food you liked in a store and it feels like it's not the same no matter how close they are in taste.

And then the team list various foods they miss, with Coran and Allura talking about the foods they now miss but veers in jokes again when one of the Paladins inevitably lists something so profoundly atrocious that everyone turns to them and is like "wtf are you talking about omg get your brain checked weirdo" (my bet is on shiro he probably likes a combo that shouldn't go together) and the episode ends on them all laughing at that paladin and joking together

I’ve been making reaction images into vld characters and I’m having a lot of fun

repost! voltron as textposts etc. 19
