#VLD Trigel

Imagine hitting someone so hard that they get freed from the possession they were under that the witch possessing them feels it thousands of lightyears away. Pidge would hit that hard, especially in the blind twinverse AU.

Anyway, this was an idea playing in my head a while back. We'll see what happens in the story eventually. Just as we eventually saw me finish this. Because, um... Yeah. I started this back in November. Oops.

Anyway! I hope y'all enjoy these ones! Commissions open on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

I never posted my full pieces for the @zarkonzine and the @galrashipzine because i am really bad at keeping this blog up to date but i am determined to be here more often

None of the Original Paladins were the Central Leader of their race, at least at first. Alfor’s wife was Queen, Blaytz’s Brother was Emperor, Trigel was a High-Ranked Senator, Gyrgan was son of the Elder, and Zarkon was the military leader. He killed the Civilian leader before taking Voltron through the rift.

Daniel, in simple Earth terms, is built different; him being an Allemorphian, an immortal speices, has nothing to do with it. The person to find Daniel bleeding is Alfor, who panics, but after getting the Altean King to relax, he helped Daniel patch up. The second person is Trigel, who gags at she helps Daniel pop his shoulder back into place. Blaytz stared in horror as Daniel throws a shark back out into deeper waters; he catches a glimpse of the bite mark. Gyrgan simply frowns as Daniel sucks the blood from his cut finger tip; one glove later and Daniel gets back to cutting potatos. Zarkon is the least likely to react as Daniel pops his knuckles, but as soon as Daniel took the brunt force of a laser, he screams.

i want an alien species whose evolutionary strategy was to be immune to as many things as possible. they can withstand crazy-ass temperatures, they almost never get injured because their exoskeleton is stupid strong, they don't get infections bc their bodies are hyper inhospitable to foreign life, heck they're functionally immune to poison bc they'd have to consume twice their body weight to even notice that something's wrong.

for these reasons, they are deeply fucking horrified to encounter a deep-space race who injure themselves on a regular basis and then just walk it off????

Full fic below the cut.

Alanci grinned excitedly, laughing as a strong hand ushered him along. He fidgeted giddily with the ends of the blindfold that was tight firmly over his eyes. He heard his ‘captor’, who he knew to be Blaytz from the moment the other entered Alanci’s room at bedtime, chuckling to himself as they made their way dow what Alanci assumed was a hallway. He heard a door slide open and was quickly lead through it, the gears whirring and locks clicking as it sealed them away. Unable to help himself, Alanci spoke.

“Blaytz, can I take the blindfold off now, or is this part of the game~?”

A small chorus of laughter met his joke, and Alanci broke into a bright smile. Blaytz kissed the Altean’s cheek and removed the blindfold, wrapping his arms around the young man. Before them stood Alfor, who was standing next to a table that bore 3 holograms, one of Zarkon, one of Trigel, and one of Gyrgan, from left to right, all three smiling lovingly at Alanci as their laughter tapered off. Blaytz guided the young man into a chair set before the holograms, taking up a position on the opposite side from Alfor as the king reached out and ruffled Alanci’s hair. Each of the paladins spoke in turn.

“I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make it for you birthday, Alanci. We’ve hit an unexpected snag in our research and I couldn’t leave,” Zarkon began.

“And I had meant to be there as well. But two of the colonies of the Belt are becoming restless and wish to reinstate their long held feud,” Trigel continued.

“Please forgive me as well. Another city has been destroyed by earthquakes, and they needed me to help rebuild,” Grygan finished.

Alanci smiled and shook his head, laughing softly.

“You’re all here now, even if it can’t be in person. This is more than my birthdays before I met the five of you, and it satisfies me just as well as having you here.”

Blaytz and Alfor shared a grin before the latter spoke.

“I told you all that Alanci wouldn’t be disappointed. Now, are you all ready?”

The holograms all nodded, and Blaytz picked up a box from the table, holding it out to Alanci. The Altean took it excitedly, drawing in a breath as he looked it over. The parcel was wrapped in pure white paper and tied off with a blue and gold bow. Alanci wasted no time opening it, tears springing to his eyes as he saw what lay inside.

The others watched quietly as their lover took out the silver chain within, his delicate fingers tracing the stones perfectly set into their fixtures. A Nalquodian sapphire and Rygnirathian topaz sat proudly beside the Altean ruby and Dalterion emerald that flanked a perfect black diamond that Diabazaal was famous for. Alanci held his breath, tears welling in his eyes and spilling down his cheeks. Alfor knelt before him, gently wiping away the tears as they fell.

“None of that, now. This is supposed to be a happy gift, darling. A token of our love for you,” he said softly.

Blaytz set a gentle, warm hand on the young Altean’s back, stroking small circles through his shirt. Alfor gently took the necklace from his love’s hands, fastening it about his neck and giving him a loving kiss.

“A token so that, no matter what the future may bring, you will never forget the love that you have shared with each of the five of us. A love that has made us the luckiest beings in this entire universe. And so that you might think of each of us even when we are apar,.” he murmured, taking care to be loud enough so the others could hear him as well.

Alanci smiled softly, his lips trembling as he spoke, his hands took hold of one Alfor’s and one of Blaytz, his eyes settling on each of them before he looked to the holograms.

“There is nothing in this universe that could make me forget how much I love you all. And nothing that could keep me from thinking of any of you, especially when we can’t be near each other. Please, believe me when I say that this is the best birthday you all have ever given me,” Alanci reassured.

Blaytz gave the young Altean a drink, and the six continued their small party, locked away from the world for those brief moments, laughing and telling one another of their adventures since they’d been apart. When Blaytz finally walked Alanci back to bed, the young man was awash with joy, his hands finding themselves at the new necklace again and again. Alanci knew then that he would never remove it, and that only death could keep him from loving the ones who had gifted it to him, the five paladins that held the key of his heart.

OKAY LISTEN

I couldn’t stop thinking about role-swap / age-swap AU, but I also was like, what would these guys look like as humans? So... this edit happened. Blaytz and Trigel were actually the most difficult? Trigel doesn’t look quite right. I went back and forth between blond and dark for Blaytz’s hair for A LONG TIME.

I SWORE THESE WERE MORE RECENT! Apparently not. Drawing Pidge as a cadet in a VLD AU was back in January and I started this one then, too. But, I finally got myself to finish this. And here we have Pidge, struggling to adjust to being a cadet and working with a team. Trigel is doing her best to help her, though. 

Anyway, I hope y’all enjoy this one! Until next time!

Because i never posed a preview for my piece for the @zarkonzine and everyone needs to go get it because it’s beautiful and everything in it is brilliant

“In 19th-century England, green indicated homosexual affiliations. Victorian men would often pin a green carnation on their lapel as popularized by author Oscar Wilde, who often wore one on his lapel. According to some interpretations, American poet Walt Whitman used the calamus plant to represent homoerotic love.” - wikipedia’s page on lgbt symbols

trigel (the original green paladin) has a color scheme similar to the lesbian flag, and green is a color associated with being gay. 

trigel is a lesbian and there’s nothing you can do about it.

og paladins + language barriers bc i’m tired of photoshop

i imagine the og paladins had to learn each other’s languages and Nutbutton.png

alfor probably took the initiate first bc he’s a nice guy and a good diplomat. he started learning from his translator and then blaytz would not be one-upped and gyrgan and trigel sort of got sucked up in the excitement.

coran, showering: blaytz, opening the curtain: coran, would—stop screaming—would you teach me altean?

zarkon was the hardest to convince bc damn do the galra have pride.

no but really he only did it because he felt that the other four were gossiping about him behind his back.

Not Saying they get together each week to watch altean novelas but you know they did 

“why do we always watch altean things” “have you seen galra tv it’s 95% propaganda”

yes there’s a Galra TV Drinking Game bc holy shit is it all repetitive

trigel almost stops midbattle bc she can’t remember one goddamn word and it’s driving her crazy.

“hey, blaytz what’s the name of that large animal that nearly ran you over last week.” blaytz, dodging enemies, “i’m not answering that.” trigel, effortlessly causing two opponents to crash together, “come on!” “do you really think i stopped to ask for its name while it was chasing me down?” 

“gyrgan c’mon i know you and your people have some of the best curse words out there leak them”

Some Magical Shit Happens and the og paladins somehow lose the ability to speak each other’s tongues and it’s just one really long and frustrating game of charades and zarkon drives his lion straight into a cliff out of sheer frustration.

drunk paladins switching between languages and laughing and having a good time

the og paladins vs the galran language: a saga

“what does that say, alfor” alfor leans in, shrugs. “i don’t know” “but you speak galran” “yeah, doesn’t mean i know how to read it have you seen the galran alphabets”

trigel: zarkon why is there no galran word for lesbian you need to fix this immediately

“zarkon, why is it that there are ten different galran phrases for ‘glorious death in battle’—each with a slightly difference connotation, mind you—but there’s no direct translation for ‘pillow’?”

zarkon, trying to learn all the different names for all the different articles of clothing alteans wear: alfor your people are so soft alfor, struggling through the tenth volume of the galran history of war book: yeah that’s fair

they sometimes borrow phrases from each other and since they’re sort of heads of state the phrases get disseminated down and it’s like a really risky game of telephone that might cause an intergalatic war

blaytz: and then gyrgan took the robot’s head clean off with his hands, and—

zarkon: we have a phrase for that trigel, without hesitation: of course you do

coran, to allura, immediately after learning that not only are the new paladins all the same species, but they all speak the same language: holy shit this is going to be so much easier we might actually live through this
