this just in !!    i finally added an about page !  . . . well, sorta. it’s still under heavy construction as i need to finish kiiro’s backstory, flesh out her abilities in both human and lion form, create an extra page that explains Eos’s culture, etc more in depth ( cause boi do i have  a ton of ideas regarding kiiro’s home planet ), and write up a sort of FAQ to explain my view on why kiiro is human ( ish ?? ) as opposed to a wholly robotic sub-unit and why i’m totally good with yellow being the only human-based / fueled ( ?? ) lion because of the whole need a human heart to understand a human heart thing, etc, etc.

*reboot voice* INCOMING HEADCANON !!   goin’ to keep this super short and sweet, but i see yellow / kiiro as possibly being the most loyal of the lions -- in terms of their relationship with a paladin. i think yellow would not accept a new paladin until their previous one had died or choose to no longer be a paladin of voltron for whatever reason -- be it a physical injury that prevents them from doing so or just old age or emotional exhaustion, etc.

LIONSBLUE.

❛ your paladin is very reliable in battle. ❜   though considering Yellow’s judgement, Blue had very little to be surprised about. though they were a bit surprised — impressed, even — of the paladin’s aura during battle. a fierce heart such as his was something to be treasured, after all. they were simply a bit startled, considering how the Yellow Paladin acted outside of the missions.     //     @hcartcore

                                 A hand rises to hide her mouth from view, though delicate fingers do little to mask the soft sound of breathy laughter that breaks upon her lips before words.    ❛   I expected such a comment from Red-nii -- - or even Black. But I see my choice has surprised even you.    ❜     She does not comment on his own paladin, knowing well enough ( from moments seen first-hand on the battlefield and memories leaked from her own paladin’s mind ) that while the Earthling may falter on occasion, his intentions were admirable.     ❛   Hunk’s heart is strong.   ❜     Like Takeru. Her mind is far too quick, making the comparison between past and present paladins without her even realizing. And though it’s naught but a tick, even silent recollection of his name is enough to summon memories of years so long passed. Memories still so vivid in detail and emotion that she wished not to draw upon them in such public space -- -  and so swallows them back down with a smile that beams from ear to ear.    ❛   You can depend on him, Blue. Hunk will not let you, nor your paladin, down.    ❜

hoppin’ on here real quick to say -- --   I’M ALIVE !!    and i promise i haven’t forgotten about the replies i owe or the wonderful starters peeps have written for me. 83   thing is, i’m in a bit of a con crunch since i’ve only got about 3 weekends to sew two costumes ( possibly three ), so you won’t be seeing much of me on the weekends until after labor day. i will be here during the week, though !!  8)   well, so long as work doesn’t leave me feelin’ like a zombie at the end of the day.    . . . or this kdrama i’m watching gets really intense and i decide to marathon it all in one night.  but even then, i’ll probably be lurking around here during the week, so y’all are free to hit me up on IM if ya want to chat or plot things. i’m always down to plot. B)

anywho. i better get my butt into bed, so until tomorrow, folks.  hope you all had a lovely day !!  83

PYROLYZCD. 

      they can’t say they quite understand it. What’s the motivations driving        her? Ki was such a strong woman all on her own. She needn’t marry the        Emperor nor did she really even need the king either. They supposed such        was the nature of the time period, though they are inclined to wonder about        the state of the world that the others had left behind. Ki was clearly a woman        of great strength. To be bound by such strict gender constraints. What a        waste of skill. They’re half way through an episode when a voice picks up,        one that speaks in a language that is more familiar than that of the show.        "Mm?“ They don’t turn. It’s Kiiro. They can tell just by the way she addresses        them anyways. ”An earthlin’ show. Somethin’ ‘bout this warrior woman 'ho’s        tryna defend 'er home from invaders an’ get revenge fer’ them killin’ 'er ma.        S’ real complicated. You’d have t’ watch it to get all th’ finer plot points.“ 

                                  ❛   Ooooh~ ?  A warrior woman ?   ❜     she echoes, curiosity blossoming into something more akin to fascination as bright eyes turn their attention to the screen set before them. A momentary lull in conversation as the lioness stands in silence, watching the current scene unfold and becoming further and further engrossed in whatever plot point was developing between said warrior woman and handsome ostracized prince who wished to prove his worth.    

                                 ❛   Hmm.  Well, in that case --  --    May I join you ?   ❜     The question falls from her lips with a polite smile in tow, but for all her manners, the lioness does not wait for Red to give an answer. She is already far too invested in what has transpired over these past few minutes that her body has already begun to move,  stepping over cushions to settle into a comfortable spot beside her fellow lion.

pops in here real quick to throw some thread ideas out there. hmu on im or skype if any of these jump out at you and you want to do the thing. 8D 

post-series stuff. namely cause i want to play with this idea that while zarkon was trying to take control of the black lion / break apart voltron, he was also feeding images / memories into the minds of the other lions -- basically trying to prey on their indiviual weaknesses. so basically kiiro being forced to relive moments in her past -- of her fist paladin.  of zarkon’s betrayal. of being forced to separate from her first paladin and of being left utterly alone in that cave for 10,000 years.

basically anything based in the timeline of the first paladins or even before when kiiro was human. and since i know this might limit a lot of people, i’m totally game with playing around with the idea that as the wormhole breaks down, it not only drops them in various locations, but also various timelines. B] 

fight threads. just, y’ know, in general.  even though i’m terrible at them.

ALSO HUNK AND YELLOW BONDING THREADS.

                                 A casual stroll through the lounge leads to a pause in her steps as Kiiro finds her brother ( for all intents and purposes ) uncharacteristically quiet and lazed upon the couch as he watches what appears to be a form of media entertainment from their new paladins’ home planet.     ❛   Oh, Red-nii ?   ❜     Interest piqued, the lioness spins on her heel, arms clasping behind her back as she bends forward to level her head with his own   ❛   Ne, Red. What are you watching ?   ❜

so this is something i’ve had in my head for a while and have been meaning to write out in kiiro’s bio -- but since that’s taking forever ~       

ah ha ha. well, here goes nothing -- -- 

the yellow lion is said to be the strongest of the lions ( in terms of armor ). the way i see it, yellow is essentially the “tank” of the group. yellow can take a few dozen hits and keep on going -- not to mention, dealing hits out in equal measure. now how does this translate when yellow is in her human form? well, you could say she is physically strong ( despite her appearance ). and she is. my personal headcanon is that she’s probably stronger than a galra soldier in terms of physical strength. but not by a lot. 

for me, kiiro’s true strength is shown when she reaches her weakest physical point. in her human form, kiiro’s skin is not armor. if she’s hit, she’ll be wounded, and if she takes enough hits -- if she endures enough strain to the point of almost dying -- then her body will undergo a transformation. like carbon atoms that become diamonds due to severe conditions of heat and pressure, kiiro’s entire body will transform into the hardest substance in existence. her overall appearance will not change ( she doesn’t have a noticeable transformation like emma frost’s diamond state or the hulk ), but her physical strength and durability will increase tremendously. 

in this state, kiiro can be an impenetrable shield, using her body to protect her comrades from harm. but at the same time, she can also be an unstoppable force, her entire body becoming an unbreakable weapon.

“This is what you give me to work with? Well honey, I’ve seen worse!”

“You’ll bring honor to us all.”

“Boys will gladly go to war for you!”

“Even you can’t blow it!”

“Who spit in their bean curd?”

“I think it’s going well, don’t you?”

“You will never bring your family honor!”

“Can it be I’m not meant to play this part?”

“If I were truly to be myself, I would break my family’s heart.”

“What beautiful blossoms we have this year… But look, this one’s late! But I’ll bet that when it blooms, it will be the most beautiful of all.”

“[ NAME ], you dishonor me.”

“So you’ll die for honor?”

“I will die doing what’s right!”

“I know my place! It’s time you learned yours!”

“You should go after them – they could be killed!”

“Anybody who’s foolish enough to threaten our family, vengeance will be mine!”

“That’s the master plan! Oh, you’ve done it now man!”

“You’re lucky? Do I look like a sucker to you?”

“Stop me? They invited me.”

“How many men does it take to deliver a message?”

“It’ll take a miracle to get me into the army.”

“Who am I? I am the guardian of lost souls!”

“My powers are beyond your mortal imagination.”

“That’s it! Dishonor! Dishonor on your whole family! Dishonor on you, dishonor on your cow!”

“It’s all attitude. Be tough, like this guy here.”

“I’m gonna hit you so hard, it’ll make your ancestors dizzy.”

“Ah, you ain’t worth my time, chicken boy.”

“Say that to my face, you limp noodle!”

“I mean, sorry you had to see that. But you know how it is when you get those manly urges – and you just gotta kill something!”

“I didn’t ask for their name, I asked for yours!”

“Y’know, we need to work on your people skills.”

“I bet [ NAME ] and I could take you!”

“I never want to see a naked man again.”

“Hello, this is the army! Make it sound more urgent please!”

“There’s no time for stupid questions!”

“Hey, think of instead: a girl worth fighting for!”

“Bet the local girls thought you were quite the charmer.”

“How ‘bout a girl who’s got a brain, who always speaks her mind?”

“Yeah the only girl who’d love him is his mother.”

“Search for survivors!”

“You are the craziest person I’ve ever met. And for that I owe you my life. From now on, you have my trust.”

“I didn’t mean for it to go this far! It was the only way! Please, believe me.”

“A life for a life. My debt is repaid.”

“Maybe what I really wanted was to prove I could do things right. So when I look in a mirror, I’d seen someone worthwhile. But I was wrong. I see nothing.”

“You risked your life to help people you love… I risked your life to help myself. At least you had good intentions.”

“We started this thing together, and that’s how we’ll finish it. I promise.”

“They popped out of the snow! Like daisies!”

“Are we in this together or not?”

“Let’s go kick some honey buns!”

“Keep your eyes open. I know they’re here.”

“Dinner would be great.”

“You know, they get it from my side of the family!”

random headcanon: kiiro blasts kpop ( mostly songs with strong or catchy beats, like so. ) at max volume when she’s working out on the training deck.

                                 ❛   Hmm -- --   ❜     The lioness sits, crouched with knees pressed close to chest and head titled ever so slightly to the side. Violet eyes scan across the opened panel, glancing every so often at the digital display as she surveys the damage done to the small aircraft before continuing,     ❛   Looks like the compressor is shot and a piece of debris must have nicked the fuel line.  We’re going to have to find replacement parts if we want to get this ship up and running again.   ❜     Attention diverts back to the paladin standing just behind her, a smile lighting up pale features despite the less than savory news she had just delivered. 

                                ❛   Shall we go on a scavenger hunt in town ?   ❜     A hint of excitement laced around each word. It had been a while since Kiiro had been out amongst other alien beings, able exploring their unique cultures.
