As someone who lives in Texas (unfortunately) I find it SO FUNNY when people make keith overwhelmingly southern. Like, cmon yall. Texas history 101, the cowboy era ended a long ass time ago, most of us DONT wear cowboy hats anymore. Why the fuck would keith ride a horse???? Nobody does that unless they own horses??? And horses are incredibly expensive???
Like, I understand cowboy aus, and historical aus, but if Texas, in 2024, isn't like that (the stereotypes are so wild) then why would it be like that in approx 2314?
Very few wear cowboy hats or boots. Very few have horses, and NOBODY rides them to school, ffs. Keith is not a farmhand.
Some texas stereotypes that are true, however...
-yeah we say yall nonstop
-ain't, wouldja, couldn't've, etc.
-confederate flag is less common here, normally you see the "come and take it" or the "don't tread on me"
-if keith ever went to public school, 1/3 of his classmates or more are Latino
-most Texans know moderate amounts of Spanish
-we celebrate Cinco de Mayo, and most ppl think it's Mexican independence day (it's not)
-barbecue.
-chili WITHOUT BEANS YOU HEATHEN
-will fight over food, family, or football
-either you support the Dallas Cowboys or the Houston Texans. Any other team is sacrilege. Once you make this choice, it WILL have effects on your social life.
-football is basically king here lol, none of the other stuff in school gets nearly the funding
-people living in rural areas (like Keith's dad) often own guns, and not pistols either-- rifles and shotguns, usually
-NOBODY SAYS YEEHAW. at least not unironically
-Texans will ironically say yeehaw, rootin-tootin, etc bc we are aware of our history and think it's wack
-were not all racist, but everyone knows at least one person who is (usually an older family member)
-mind your gotdamn manners at the table. Get those elbows away from your food
-sir and ma'am for strangers
-open doors for old people. You don't have to be a man to do this.
-please and thank you is SO important, people will assume things about you otherwise
-if you don't have a church, you miss out on a lot of community (coming from a non-religious person)
-most people here are Baptist, on that note (Hispanic people contribute to the Catholic population, but still, Baptist is #1)
-internet service is awful unless you're in a city
-we WILL close all schools for 2 inches of snow/ice
-we laugh at hurricanes, and then do our best to help our Houston neighbors
-but everybody hates Houston and Dallas, unless you live there
-most people are okay with Austin, San Antonio, etc
-EL PASO IS TINY, AND HALF OF IT IS IN MEXICO (and is called Ciudad Juárez there)
-beer is god. And God has no problem with drinking. (According to beliefs here)
-gambling is illegal here, but we love it, so states like Oklahoma have built casinos RIGHT ON THE STATE BORDER so that we can drive a bit and gamble as we please
-everybody's dad drives a truck. Otherwise people assume he's got a small pp

My newest animatic is complete!
I put a flash warning just in case, but it’s very very subtle and only in one spot for like a second. Let me know if you think I should change it.
Warnings are in the opening so be careful.
Ok, please enjoy!

Ok but. Au where Keith was more emersed in the canon stuff as a child. Texas helped Krolia write a letter to Keith for him to read when he was old enough so he'd know that his mom didn't just abandon him. It tells him what the knife is for, where she went, why she left, and that he can't ever tell a human what he is or he could be in danger. It also has detailed illustrations because I like to believe Krolia draws.
When Keith was little, Texas would put him to bed with Galra legends and tales of Voltron. Texas also kept all of Krolia's illustrations of things in space. One of those illustrations included a rough map of where the blue lion was.
When Texas died, Keith inherited a box with his knife, the letter, and Krolia's drawings. It was locked but Keith's also a menace and picked the lock at 14. He never told or showed a soul what was in that box.
That was until the night he saved Shiro. Keith was prepared. Nobody else understood what was going on and Keith did not slow down to explain.
I'd also really like to see Keith's face when he learns that the bedtime stories that he was told from about ages 1-6 were true and that Princess Allura is alive.
That is all.

“Thank you, for staying.”
She looks at him curiously after he says it. It seems out of the blue, random. She’s not surprised that he’s brought it up — she’s been expecting the conversation, ever since Tex’s shoulders started to hunch and a furrow appeared in his brow whenever she held little Yorak.
…Fine.
Little Keith.
Honestly, she expected this conversation to happen sometime in the dead of night, when neither of them could sleep and worries preyed on their minds. Not when she and Keith were playing in the mud.
“I didn’t think the choice would be as easy as it was,” she confesses, flicking a glob of mud at Keith’s chubby little cheeks. He giggles, throwing a glob back at her with his meaty little toddler hands. The sound makes both her and Tex smile.
“…Was it easy? It didn’t look easy. You looked troubled, for a long time.”
Krolia hums, taking her time to form an answer. Tex is right, she wasn’t being quite truthful. It was a difficult decision to make, with a lot of consequences she will live with for the rest of her life. Namely the fate of the universe. She has the Blue Lion’s location. She — and Tex — are the sole protectors of it, now. The responsibility they hold is enormous. Because she stayed, she has no support. Should she fail, the universe will die.
“I never intended to stay on Earth.”
Tex nods. “I know. You had a mission.”
“You were a very interesting distraction to that mission,” Krolia says with a smirk.
“Don’t I know it, sugar,” he says with an equally wolfish grin. “I had fun distractin’ you, that’s for damn certain.”
Krolia laughs, shaking her head at his wink. Keith laughs, too just because they’re laughing — he’s such a joyful child. Krolia loves him so much. She drags him towards her by the ankle, smothering him with muddy kisses the second he’s close enough. He babbles at her very seriously in response, putting his dirty hands on either side of her face and looking directly in her eyes. Krolia nods along dutifully to all his baby-speak, because she’s sure he’s telling her something very important.
Suddenly, a lump starts to form in her throat. She looks at this beautiful baby who looks just like Tex in every way but has her eyes, big and purple and inhuman, who babbles happily to her every day and reaches for her when he cries. It hits her, right then and there, all of a sudden, that she almost left this baby behind. She almost abandoned him. Her son. Her child.
“Shh, Mama, shhh,” baby Keith coos, patting her on the head, and it’s then that Krolia realises she’s crying.
“I couldn’t leave him behind,” she whispers. Her bottom lip trembles as a sob builds in her throat. “I have a duty. To him and to the universe. To protect him, and all little children like him, from that — from that monster. But I can’t —” she chokes on a sob, and cradles Keith to her chest. He goes willingly, still trying to soothe her. “He’s my baby, Tex.”
Her husband’s big arm wraps around her shoulders, and he pulls her into his side, despite all the mud.
“I know, sweetheart,” he says, pressing a kiss to her hair. “I know. I know. It’s okay.”
She holds her family, the little family that she built with her own two hands, and cries, but not because she’s guilty. She’s relieved. As hard of a choice it was, she knows she made the right one. She thinks of her son and her husband and their tiny house. She thinks of playing with Keith in the mud and kissing Tex on quiet mornings, and she knows that she will not screw this up. Not for anything in the world — she will protect her family until her dying breath.
And for that, she is grateful.

Hello! I hope you’re having a good day/night/whatever!
I was thinking about your hearts infected klance au and I love it so much and I was wondering if you had any tidbits/ideas about it you’d be comfortable sharing
If not no worries!
Hello, anon. Please marry me
ANYWAYS OF COURSE?? It's lowkey my favorite au I just suffer from a very serious illness caused commitment issues 😔 its tragic
Lance is 21, Keith 23, Shiro and Adam 29, and Krolia ans Texas are young at heart
Lance picked up Kosmo when he was a puppy while he was still traveling by car in the beginning of the zombie apocalypse
The zombie apocalypse started when a asteroid crashed into earth, containing frozen alien bacteria inside of it. Humans obviously snooped, samples collected and vials broke, and some poor bloke ended up eating a shitty lab served hamburger with a side of zombie virus!
Zombie apocalypse started in Cuba for the sole reason of angst 🤗
Lance was a med student in NYC before the zombie outbreak, and spent the first two months (its a miracle America didn't go to shit before that) helping in hospitals. Things got so dire it didn't even matter how long yoi were in med school for, hospitals were actively begging for help.
Hunk was in Hawaii at the time of the outbreak, which was a rare part of the world largely left unaffected. In the sense there were no zombies.
Shiro hasn't lost his arm (yet) but he served in the military, same with Adam.
Krolia was special forces in the military. She's like a modern day ninja.
Texas was a police man then fireman, but was largely a stay at home dad once Keith was born.
Shiro is the son of a friend Texas adopted after they died, and technically knew Texas before he even met Krolia.
Adam is from Spain and moved to America after his parents cut him off/disowned him for being gay.
Lance is the oldest sibling! He has (had) 6 younger sisters
The Koganes don't know nearly as much as Lance about zombies bc they managed to fortify their farm and live there for the first 5 months of the zombie apocalypse. They start moving toward DC after receiving a transmission from Matt to head there.
Lance was able to keep in regular contact with Pidge and Hunk before the internet finally went down 3 months into the apocalypse. Pidge tells him to head to DC.
Lance ends up from NYC to Alabama after the internet went down bc he can't read a physical map and Google maps stopped working.
Lance managed to travel by car for 4 months before he realized it was way too loud and had to ditch it.
Krolia advocates so strongly for Lance to stay with them bc she is literally like "omg a baby!"
Texas is willing to go along with anything his beautiful wife's says
Texas killed his first zombie simply bc Krolia told him to, no questions asked. He didn't even know it was a zombie. Krolia was like "kill that bastard!" And Texas was deadass like "yes my queen"
Lance didn't really have to teach Kosmo anything, he kind of just picked things up and did them.
Kosmo is the main reason Lance is alive. Kosmo listens and smells the zombies and alerts Lance.
While mindless, the zombies still have the instincts to avoid the sun as it speeds up the decaying process, thus leading to zombies being more active at night.
Zombies cannot see, they lose this as soon as they turn, but newly turned zombies can hear for the first few months before they decay too badly. At around the 6-7 month mark is when smelling is their only sense left. Despite being dead, they're very strong. They lack the coordination to run fast, but retain the instincts required to hunt.
Anyone is free to add on btw!!! I love love love zombies and theories and ideas I could go on forever about them!!!!

headcanon that Keith has a few conections with the police because his dad was a fireman and friends with a some of the cops
that's also how he stayed out of the radar for so long, because they were helping him
also bc I refuse to believe that all of them just let some random kid (a minor) that basically no one knows anything about go around without any kind of supervision

Baby Keeef
I can totally imagine Keith as a child asking his dad about aliens.
Like, instead of dinosaurs and cars, his obsession with space caused him to ask about all things extraterrestrial (I love that word).
Picture this:
It's some time in the afternoon, Keith is a homeschooled child and is therefore sitting in a patch of sunlight which is let in by the open windows. He has papers and colored pencils scattered around him, and little fidget toys are strewn across the floor. Texas sits on a large armchair, reading some cheesy romance novel that Krolia took a liking to during her time on Earth. Keith puts down the pencil that he's been twirling around for the past 30 minutes and crawls up into his father's lap.
He has a slight lisp and southern twang, which makes him hard to understand to anyone but his dad.
"Papa, are 'liens from sface real?"
Texas chokes on the coffee that he's been sipping from his favorite mug. It reads, 'this Texan dad is into purple space cats'. (Krolia had been trying to learn Earth humor.)
"Umm... Well son, that's quite the question, now 'aint it? Y'all young folk gonna see some big things, aliens ain't too far off, huh?"
It's important for you to understand, Keith doesn't understand half of the things his dad says. He prefers short, blunt answers to his questions.
But he can see the far-off sparkle in his father's eyes, which means he won't be getting any information today.
"C'n you tell me a story?"
Keith looks up at his dad with starry, hopeful eyes that he knows the man can't refuse.
"Alright. 'Ave I told ya that one 'bout how I met your Ma?"
Of course he has. Texas tells the same story every time, so often that Keith takes over telling it sometimes when he thinks his dad is speaking too slowly. Still, he nods eagerly.
To him, his parents are the sun, the stars, and whole lot more, no matter what they'll ever do.
And anyway, kids think everything is permanent until they lose it all. After that, the story of Krolia and Texas becomes a sort of staple in Keith's orphanage.
And because the stars in the children's eyes reminds Keith of himself from when he was younger, he continues to tell that story despite the pain that claws through his chest.
Anything to give them the hope that he'll never have back.
