#and also of shiro and keith

[autisticlancemcclain]

hello all another fic rec bc i feel like i am going to go insane. i am obsessed with religious imagery in fic and this just took every single level of it and blew it through the stratosphere. read this:

and now that you are in awe, here is the fic: this is your holy by @littleghost

[heynhay]

mid week klance because my queen @klanced is on the struggle so I made lawyer au

[hchano]

my second contribution to the binary stars zine.

sadly the fic, WHICH IS RLY GOOD, never got posted [long story, not mine to tell ;u;] but this was a telepath!keith/blind!shiro AU. basically keith is a captured BoM, and is sent to the arena in chains to be executed by a beast, but then a blind galra is thrown in to the arena was well, with a weapon. keith is able to convince him they can work together and using his telepathic link, shiro is able to defeat the beast.

afterward, they are thrown together more often in the arena and over time keith learns shiro is actually a human who has been experimented on and altered heavily. he also ends up teaching him about galra culture and how to navigate some of the wierd shit galra go thru [since shiro is experiencing a lot of galra instincts lol].

meanwhile the BoM are working on freeing keith, but keith will not leave without shiro :')

so in this scene, we have keith tracing coordinates on shiro's back, in hopes that he will be able to use them to escape. i do hope viper posts this fic one day but if not, just know it was rly good and liek the perfect slowburn.

extras under the cut!

so as i keep saying this was a rly good fic. i had like 5 diff scenes i rly wanted to draw but i realized i was NOT going to be able to fit any of them into only 3 pages lol… that didn't stop me from TRYING more than once tho…

attempt #1, 3 pics:

this scene is them bathing [PLATONICALLY] after a round in the arena. keith is lamenting about shiro geting hurt due to keith's reckless fighitng style leaking into shiro thru the mind meld, and thinks about how shiro still moves like he has his human body too, which shiro picks up on thanks to the mind link [which is something of a habit at this point lol]. shiro is angsting about the fact he actually dosen't know the extent of what has been done to him thanks to the injury that blinded him, and after asking to see how he looked as a human, keith ends up reassuring him that he's still a cutie lol.

the page with the dialogue only is when i realized there was no way i was fitting that scene into 3 pages lol.

attempt #2:

this scene is basically near the start to the fic. keith is brought in to the arena and chained to a pylon. he hears a bunch of rly loud monster noises and pounding at the door across the arena and is like, wow i am actually fucked 8D then shiro is brought in and thrown to the ground, along with a weapon. keith watches him try to feel around for the weapon and realizes he's blind, then calls out to him. shiro immediately goes into attack mode but keith is able to convince him that they can be allies, and briefly explains he's a telepath before melding their minds so that shiro can see through his eyes, and after a bit of clumsiness they are able to beat the beast this way :D

my designs for the boys. i have unclothed versions too that show off all their markings and scars but i feel like that would get the post flagged so these will have to do lol. i did post them on twitter tho, if you wanna bother looking there. also yes, this design is rly similar to the other contribution i did for this zine, which is because i rly like the idea of keith having these specific markings LOL. this is p much my official go to glara!keith design.

just two lil chibi guys

i actually finished this with shading, but for the life of me cannot find it, so old phone pic it is. this is post-fic, after shiro joins the bom. [so uh not so shocking spoiler, they both survive and escape lol]

[klanced]

when adam met 11yo keith he immediately knew that keith was gay and was like i have GOT to support this kid!! (runs into traffic) meanwhile shiro spent years operating under the assumption that keith had like a gender thing going on

Last of the real ones

"I was just an only-child of the universe and then I found you. And then I found you" - Last of the real ones by Fallout Boy

I've been listening to this song the past few days and to me it's still the sheithiest song out there. 😭 I love it so much.

[weaponizedducks]

favourite kind of zukka fics is when zuko is chaotic besties with katara and katara is fucking gay enabler no.1 and she can see the fucking doomed yaoi pining with her extraspecial supersonic Gay Vision so she shoves them off a cliff or into a leprechaun closet Together while suki laughes and hakoda watches in fear

[voxxian]

being half-galra is difficult for keith

[deckoftrickcards]

guys i’m ngl i be forgetting shiro exists sometimes….

[astralscrivener]

the way that people do not take lance seriously and the way that keith has never had anyone to look out for him and stay...the way that keith trusts lance with his life and his heart and lance looks after keith like it’s an oath he plans on following to his grave

[discordiansamba]

quintessential 'Keith turns more Galra looking after his fight with the druid so he runs away from Voltron' AU except with the twist that his dad didn't die so he grew up knowing that he was half-Galra and has always had the ability to shift his form back and forth, but the exposure to quintessence + the corrupted wormhole locked him in his Galra form so now he's just jumping from civilian port to civilian port, figuring he might as well try and track down the Blade of Marmora since he can't go back to Voltron.

meanwhile, they're all looking for him, since he sent the red lion back to the Castle without him. the red lion thinks he's being stupid, but doesn't tattle on him bc she's not a snitch.

meanwhile meanwhile, Keith hasn't been successful at finding the Blade of Marmora, but he did find another rebellion... and wait. is that Matt.

(matt: huh. that galra kid has the same haircut as Shiro's baby brother. what a weird coincidence.)

Craigslist missed connections moment. Happy Mardi Gras!!!!

Could you explain your position on Shallura? Since Allura was established as a teenager when she started dating Lance and Shiro was very clearly an adult. I can understand the bi shiro headcannon but the shallura thing worries me

i am going to remind yall that i have been in this fandom since 2016. and in the early seasons, allura was not established as a teenager. in fact she was coded as older, as closer to shiro's age -- there was a specific divide between her and the younger paladins that she did not have with shiro. they made her younger (both explicitly and in mannerisms) as the show went on. and i do not give a fuck about voltron like...post s4 and i didn't even watch s7-8. so like. especially with older fics, im going to enjoy shallura.

[nikogane]

ive searched the entire dictionary but there are simply no words profound enough to encapsulate my intense dislike for she.ith like literally like what the actual fuck

[bleh1bleh2]

I am going crazy over the Teen Beach Movie au that is in my brain right now

Lance (brady) and Keith (mac) having an Argument about Keiths plan to leave without telling Lance. Keith trying to surf the Huge Wave the day of the flight and Lance going to save him when it gets dangerous.

They get into the movie and Allura (tanner) is there. Movie plot says that she is going to fall in love with Romelle (lela), but Falling For You happens and klance messes it up, so sad. Its a fun and silly time.

I think Zarkon and Honerva should be the evil duo in the Lighthouse. I am flip flopping about where to put Coran, bc I think he would love the surfer lifestyle but also i think him owning Big Mommas would be very good. Butchy could probably be Lotor, but I am not 100% sold on that one. So sorry to the rest of the vld cast, i have no clue where they would be

I just think the Mac and Brady argument in the beginning (and technically throughout the movie) could be changed to be more klance-esque which would be really fun

[klanced]

My favorite thing about Klance is imagining their extended family dynamics. Like obviously Shiro (+Adam) is Lance’s brother-in-law and Veronica is Keith's sister-in-law. But spiritually: Lance and Keith both agree that Hunk is their shared brother. Pidge is Keith's cousin through Shiro, making her Lance's cousin-in-law. Allura is Lance's cousin through Coran, making her Keith's cousin-in-law. Acxa is Lance's sister-in-law through Veronica, but she's also kind of his sister-in-law through Keith. Keith and Acxa are kind of siblings but Krolia is NOT Acxa's mother, she is Acxa's mother-in-law through Veronica-Lance. Romelle is Keith's sister through Krolia but Romelle is NOT Lance's sister-in-law (not until Romella and Allura get married, then Romelle becomes Lance's cousin-in-law. And then of course Allura becomes Keith's sister-in-law through Romelle). I should make a chart.

[vldsideblog]

Since we don’t have an exact age for Romelle I like to think that her and Keith are the same age but constantly argue over who is the older sibling. Romelle says she’s the older sibling because her younger brother died so now Keith is her younger brother. Keith resents this because he can’t keep being a younger brother. (Shiro is already obnoxious about it, he can’t keep doing this)

In the end Krolia decides they were born at the exact same time so she can be done listening to this argument.
