Voltron headcanon

Everyone in space (Shiro, Keith, Matt, Pidge, Sam): “I hope Adam and Colleen are okay back on Earth… They must miss us so much…” Meanwhile on Earth: Adam: When they come back, Shiro’s sleeping on the couch for at least a month. Colleen: That’s right, dear. That’s how you raise a husband. She sips her tea, dead serious. Colleen: Now pour me another cup and tell me more about your plan to send Matt, Katie, and Keith to a Wi-Fi-less countryside retreat for the entire summer.

What do you think Colleen's reaction was when she realized her husband and both of her children were missing, assumed dead?

While she was alone for years, her hope dwindling day by day as no news comes up

When she realizes all three of them are actually okay

When she realizes none of them are actually okay like they look at first glance

When she realizes nothing will ever be the same

When she realizes she'll be okay with that because all of them are now back home

Do you guys have any idea how much I love Pre-Kerberos headcanons??

Oh My God. It's basically half of my Voltron thoughts (the Voltron brain worms have been eating me alive).

I love thinking about Pre-Kerberos Pidge (or should we call her Katie?) and her possibly meeting pre-kerberose Keith. Shiro has taken Keith under his wing and decides it would be a good idea to try to get him to socialize more, and it just so happens that Commander Holt's annual Christmas Party is coming up.

Normally Shiro wouldn't recommend something as intense as a party for such a socially stunted kid, but he knew the Holt's were someone he could trust. Shiro particularly hoped to introduce Keith to the Holt's daughter, Katie. She has some social issues of her own and it's been affecting her at school. Because of this, she's having trouble making friends, and some of her classmates picking on her.

Both Katie's parents and Keith's "parents" (Shiro and Adam) think it would be a good idea for them to meet. Matt, who became friends with Keith through Shiro, told Katie all about him. She was thrilled to meet someone with similar interests and couldn't wait to quote "Have an intelligent conversation with someone her own age."

Cut to the day of the party, Keith is shaking with anxiety and doesn't know if he can do this. It takes a while but Shiro and Adam manage to calm him down. Because of this, they're a little late so to make up for that Adam suggests that they grab some flowers for Colleen. They stop at a store and pick out a poinsettia because they need to have some Christmas cheer in Arizona and then are off to the Holt's.

They decide that Keith should be the one to give Colleen the flowers. Keith introduces himself to the Holts, fumbling all the way, shakily gifting the flower to Colleen while trying to make eye contact. She sees Keith's effort and is somewhat charmed by him. Once inside Colleen calls Katie over to meet him.

Katie dashes over, excited to try to make a friend, and immediately starts to bombard Keith with questions. "Hi! My name is Katie, but you probably already know that from Matt. What's it like studying at the Garrison? I heard you're at the top of your class! What's your favorite subject? Do you like Physics?"

She grabs his arm and pulls him away from the entrance towards the couch where they can talk more. Keith is bewildered but does his best to keep up with the excited young girl. Colleen smirked, thinking this was the beginning of her little girl finally having a crush. Boy was she wrong.

Katie holds Keith hostage for the rest of the night, and he finds himself genuinely enjoying the company. He's still quiet and a bit reserved but he answers, managing to ask Katie some questions about herself. He's glad he's found someone his own age he can relate to and doesn't look down on him.

By the end of the night, after dinner, both Katie and Keith fell asleep next to each other on the couch. Katie's head leaning on Keith's shoulder, little did they know this would be the start of a lifelong friendship.

holy shittt is that a buq

The further I get from Voltron, the more I feel like the Holt and Shirogane family should’ve been 1 family.

Matt and Pidge are Sam’s biological kids, and Keith is Shiro’s adopted son.

Sam and Shiro would be the same age, having grown up together in the Garrison, and fell in love.

The reason Sam, Matt, and Shiro all go to space together is 1. Their love/knowledge of space and 2. The mission was supposed to be extremely routine (which is different from canon, but I think would make more sense with how technologically advanced the Garrison is).

Keith still got kicked out of the academy, Pidge still had to sneak in, but the two aren’t complete strangers. They’re working in tandem to figure out what happened to their dads and brother.

And Colleen Holt could be Shiro’s best friend. She doesn’t think it’s a great idea for Shiro to go with his arm in the condition it is, and that causes a minor argument. She still becomes the caretaker of Keith and Pidge until Sam and Shiro return.

It just simplifies the group dynamics a bit. It always felt like Shiro and Pidge’s stories were so separate for no reason. He wasn’t even there when she went to find Matt.

And there’s no need for Adam and Curtis. Which weren’t really real characters, if I’m being honest.

[atlas7seo]

I don't know if they ever touched on this, but I wonder what Pidge told her mom when she left for the Garrison. Like what can you tell your Mom who has just lost her husband and only son that you're going away for a little bit. How on earth did Colleen let her 14? I think 14 year old daughter like just leave? (She's 15 in season 8 but I refuse to believe they've only been in space for a year; she also says "running away" but i think that's in reference to going to space and not the Garrison? But idk)

[multishipper87]

Random VLD idea

I have decided that since Matt and Shiro were friends and Keith and Shiro were bros (I ❤️ Broganes) then, Matt, Shiro, Keith, and Pidge/Katie probably all kinda acted like siblings and drove poor Colleen crazy bc that’s what chaotic sibs do :)

Fic: Burnt French Toast

Summary: Every Mother’s Day per tradition Pidge and Matt make their mom practically inedible French toast and are then saved by the local bakery. But there’s no bakery this time. Just burnt French toast. And after three years of missed Mother’s Days, of leaving without answers and causing their mom even more pain, Pidge is horrified that this was all they could do.

Read it here.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there to whatever motherhood looks like to you 🧡🌺 Kili and I are going for a momma-son walk and enjoying this beautiful day!

[pidges-lost-robot]

Fucking side plot that gets flashbacked to throughout the shows run (instead of just like season 7) where its revealed that Adam finally recognised who Pidge was and before she got away to the roof, he let her know he was gonna contact her mother so she knew where her kid was and in the process of this ends up informing Iverson but before they can do anything, Shiro crash lands and the pilot episode takes place and the garrison trio go missing and we watch on Earth as Adam, Veronica, Colleen and the MFE pilots work to try and discover all that Keith and Pidge discovered before the first episode and to find out what happened to them and maybe try to get them back.

I want the stakes on earth to exist throughout, an ecosystem of the Garrison to exist that the trio are aware of and interact with before they leave, so we get a better idea of the people left back on Earth and what they're doing. I wanna know their families like they do. It doesn't have to be that I get a full on list for them all but like I just want there to be this existing world they come from cause as much as I actually can't fault the first episode on a huge amount, this is one of those things cause if I was rewriting it to have the lions discovered throughout season 1, I'd need that time for something and it's something the show lacks anyway

Holt’s family memories (they could have been so happy, how tragic they were already doomed by the narrative)

(dumping holt’s family lore bc i love them and there’s so much material for family angst)

More Adashi AU

- Adam talks to Shiro while Shiro pilots the Atlas, Adam says some words that feel like a goodbye and Shiro calls out to him. He thinks Adam is dead (Adam was able to evacuate his plane before it crashed with the Galra)

- Upon hearing that the Galra are coming, Shiro and Adam argue over Adam being involved

- Once the quartet of Matt, Adam, Shiro, and Keith are reunited Matt and Keith hound Shiro like annoying brothers for leaving Adam and Keith behind

- Adam saying the words "we're going to get you to the medbay and once you're all healed up we're going to have a sparring match where I throw you around like a rag doll" / "don't ever worry me like that again. I don't know if I can ever take a loss like that again"

-Adam infiltrates Galra forces and travels with them in space. Shiro can't believe what he sees when he thinks Adam is willingly working with Galra

-with Kerberos being considered a bust bc of "pilot error" The Garrison wants to send others into space to retrieve the Kerberos crew. Voltron crew finds Adam's ship just floating in space with no life force seeming to be inside. They investigate to find Adam on the floor and alone. Turns out there's barely enough oxygen for even a new born let alone a grown adult (bonus if Adam's ship was hit with quintessence); Shiro refuses to leaves Adam's side while he's in the healing pod

-Adam somehow being used to help power the Galras main ship that attacked earth like some Alteans were

-They never confessed their feelings so when Shiro is determined to go on Kerberos Adam just sits with his feelings and waits; both thinking they've missed their chance with the other (cue Matt, Keith and Pidge trying to get them together when they reunite)

-Soulmate/soul marks AU where Shiro and Adam do not meet until Shiro comes back from space

- (shout to Chibi-pix for this one) Adam is like a brother figure to Pidge which results in Keith and Pidge being siblings causing Iverson to lose his mind bc Keith and Pidge are Matt and Shiro 2.0s (Lord help him when an Adam 2.0 enters the picture); Adam and Shiro are blissfully aware of their siblings antics but act like they aren't

-Kuron goes to Earth and kidnaps Adam

-Shiro is forced to choose between Keith and Adam

- They start off as a one-sided rivalry until an incident forces them together and they start to get to know each other

-more patient Adam and reckless Shiro

-Adam joins the Blade of Marmora where he runs into Keith (Adam still thinks Shiro is dead) Adam is with him in the two years in the Abyss and reunites with Shiro when Keith returns to the Paladins

-Shiro and Adam meeting once when they were kids but not meeting again until they are older. Both remember but Adam acts like he doesn't recall it at all

-Both are cadets and one has a significant other while the other is pining hard (s/a with the significant other doesn't last long, significant other also happens to be mutuals with Adam and Shiro)

-Shiro trains and gets a bad bruise on his neck that everyone thinks is a hickey until Adam returns from a trip (cue Keith defending Shiro but the other Paladins and co think maybe Shiro cheated)

-Shiro confesses to Adam one night but acts like he doesn't remember it then he and Adam spiral in their feelings

Some Pre-Kerberos Holt Family Headcanons!

Colleen is the family's breadwinner. Yes, I know Samuel is a Commander, but I feel like people forget that Colleen is also a scientist!

Both Pidge and Matt have ADHD, they got it from their father.

Matt never learned how to drive.

Pidge has some troubles at school—no, not academic troubles, but troubles with bullies. Her parents wanted to transfer her, but she insisted she could tough it out.

The family often invites both Shiro and Adam over to dinner. This is how Keith met the Holts!

Samuel can't cook to save his life.

Matt (accidentally) set a fire in his high school chem lab and got away with it.

Pidge isn't allowed to have energy drinks, yes there is a story behind that.

They invent things to give to each other as gifts! This family is the definition of extra.

Matt tried pot once, and he immediately greened out.

Shiro taught Pidge self-defense because of the bullies.

Matt and Pidge are both heavily invested in FNAF lore; they've made their dad watch countless hours of content about it. He does it because he loves them.

Their back garden is phenomenal, thanks to Colleen.

They have family movie nights, sci-fi is their favorite genre.

Shiro used to lowkey babysit Pidge.

I don't know how Tumblr works. Who knows how to make link posts properly. Not me.

Anywhizzle~ I'm done editing Act 1 which means I'll be posting a new chapter every week now until it's done! I'll be taking a short break while I get halfway through Act 2 so I have some wiggle room before I start posting again. Good news for that: Act 2 only has 8 chapters and I've written 2 out already so I don't anticipate the wait being very long.

Going back to the actual chapter I'm posting NOW ^^3 The goals were to show off Pidge's relationship with Keith and Shiro in this chapter. Pidge and Keith have grown close after training together for months and Pidge has met Shiro on occasion, but kind of know him more in a mutual friend kind of way.

This chapter is mostly sweet. Buuuut a little bitter when you consider what comes next...
