Lance finds out pidge is Italian

Lance: hay pidge! I heard from shiro that you’re actually Italian. Is that right?

Pidge: yep, I’m Italian. Why do you ask?

Lance looks pidge in the eye and breaks a bundle of spaghetti.

Pidge: (starts screaming at Lance in Italian.) stupido cubano! cosa c'è che non va in te?!

Pidge Pulls out her bayard and chases Lance around the castleship.

—————————————————————-

Fun fact. Italians do not like it when you break spaghetti. They will yell and berate you mercilessly. A perfect example of this is lionfield’s channel. Those Italian guys take their pasta very seriously.

The secret garden of love

(a title for plance gardeners !!!)

Cuba. 1958. Katherine "Pidge" Holt is the daughter of school teachers living in Havana and dreaming of rockets at Cape Canaveral. Lance Alverez is an aspiring actor with family connected with Fidel Castro's rebel army. Their meeting in the "secret garden" of Lance's Grandmother proves to be one of fate as, in a landscape headed for turmoil, the bonds they share keep bringing them back into each others' orbit.

🐝 send me a fake fic title, and I’ll make up a summary for it! 🐑 send me a fake set of fic tags, and I’ll try to come up with a summary for it! 🦮 send me a summary I already did for one of the above two, and I’ll try to write a snippet for that summary!

I have once again redesigned Lance

[scarlett69rut]

Can someone do a Fanfiction/headcannon about the Voltron team in the training deck,training on their strong points and weak points in their fighting,and when it's lance's turn they blindfold him and stand around him behind targets.The goal of the exercise is to try to hit there targets anywhere on it and there out, (the objective is if he can hit all the targets he should be able to do the same in the battlefield if something is obstructing his vision or heighting his awareness around him) He has to figure out were his teammates are at by simply by their breathing,shifting or a quick noise they'll make and he can not move from the center of the circle.Keith said something snarky and was shocked when Lance quickly, turning towards him and hitting his target perfectly.The others barely make a noise, and he still hits their targets perfectly, even Allura's who's a train warrior,lets just say his team now has full trust in lance's marksmanship.

slight or a lot of klance flirting,them secretly crushing on each other. Set around season 3,no clone shiro (hated that)

You know, it's been years now, and I still follow a few blogs that post for thr fandom... I need the last few remaining fans to know: anyone that popularized the last name "McClain" for Lance, I need you to jump into a boiling pool and you can never get out.

Maybe look up Cuban last names??? And don't use any of the first 10 results??? Do your fucking research??? Look up how Cuban last names work, maybe??? Don't just settle for the whitest last name to fucking exist, and call it a day????

It works similarly in mexico, First name, maybe middle name, sometimes third name if your parents are feeling a bit quirky, then Paternal lastname Maternal lastname. Maybe! Maybe he's mixed! A mexican parent and a Cuban parent! A Brazilian parent and a Cuban parent! Maybe!!! He's even part native! But I don't trust white fans with native characters. Learn to behave and maybe we'll trust you with native characters.

Just. Stop it with McClain.

IF YOU ARE WHITE, YOU CAN REBLOG BUT IF YOU TRY TO START SHIT I WILL BLOCK YOU!!!!!

IF you are latine, specifically Cuban, feel free to add your own thoughts on this matter

[klanceficatalogue]

So excited you guys are back, seeing the notif literally made my entire month!!

Now I humbly ask… got any good Lance takes Keith/Keith goes to Cuba fics that haven’t been featured already?? I remember reading a really really good one a couple years back but all I can remember about it is that it had three chapters. Anyway, just want some Cuba fics that are y’all’s favorites. Thank you and welcome back <3

im so glad!! <33

here you go :) - k

Take me Home by Nigg (5/5 | 23,355 | Teen and Up)

Three years have passed since the Paladins left Earth to fight against the Galra Empire. The war is won and they have returned home and are trying to deal with being back to their ordinary lives. When Lance starts ditching the Paladins' regular meetings, Keith gets worried and goes to his house to check on him.

//anxiety attacks //ptsd

Estrella by KiraLiven (1/1 | 10,737 | General)

Keith didn’t mean to kidnap a half-Galran baby, but somehow he finds himself flying his ship away from an alien planet, infant in his arms. With no idea what to do with a baby, he turns to the only person—the only family—he knows that has experience with children. He should have thought about how attached he’d get to it all: to Lance, the baby, raising a child together—to being part of a family.

CUBAN MIKU!

[callmelyc]

I like to think Lance would dance ballet of some sort.

Au where Lance used to do ballet as a break from the garrison classes so he could stretch and dance the tension from his bones but after he joined Voltron he stopped dancing. The scar on his back pulled uncomfortably, the arches of his feet pained with use.

Dancing wasn't the same.

But on a planet with robes as light as air and a peace that washed over him like spring rain– Lance danced.

For the first time since he left earth, he danced everything away...

I was heavily inspired by Alphonse Mucha and Cuban tile work while drawing this if it wasn't already obvious, so imagine Lance is actually dancing his heart out under the moon in a private courtyard on some alien planet.

+ a bonus one with sides on it

[bluemanticism]

explaining the MLB au i just posted

“what why did you make lance chat and keith ladybug” i put a finger to your lips and say HUSHHHHH

lance is chat AND marinette because:

he has deep insecurities and plays them off with lighthearted humor

tries really hard but gets little recognition

admires ladybug so much for his prowess but despises keith’s aloofness (doesn’t realize it’s due to poor socialization)

in this au his mom runs a cuban-style cafe! like the bakery! but lance is a college student who is in the same program as keith (chem)

i want vibrant lance to contrast with the element of destruction, to learn how to be comfortable in pain and rage

keith is ladybug AND adrien because:

he has no fucking clue how to socialize and struggles with leadership at first but learns with lance’s help

his aloofness is actually awkwardness like adrien originally (reminds me of felix a bit)

universally more recognized by press

in this au, he was adopted into the shirogane family but shiro’s parents sadly passed when shiro was in college. he models bc he said “sure, whatever” when his brother asked him to step in a shoot. rest is history

bro is too serious bc he’s anxious

anyways i know not everyone will agree but it makes sense to MOI!

Keith Kogane x Fem!Reader Synopsis: The mission was simple. All Keith had to do was find the rebel's undercover operative and get them out of Haggar's ship before the coalition attacked it. He didn’t expect you to have no idea and fight back. But that was fine, or it was until he tried to stab you with a sleeping injection only for him to not be able to touch you with it. No this wasn't simple at all. Word Count: 1.5K Tags: Soulmate au

Soulmates are few and far between on earth. When you're younger you might go around pinching people to see if it hurts them but as you get older and realise how many people are on this planet you slowly give up and settle for someone else. Rarely would you ever see someone going around and hurting others in order to find their soulmate? Or even people hurting others accidentally and that person actually being their soulmate- it’s not really the culture. 

Keith never cared for it anyway, preferring to believe that he was destined to be forever alone because nobody could ever be the other half of him. His views are largely different to Lance's, who dreams about the day he would meet “the love of his life,” always daydreaming about someone he may never meet. 

Keith thought it was ridiculous but then again Lance’s parents were soulmates so maybe that instilled a false self of hope in the Cuban who rather than be worried he may never meet his soulmate especially now they were in space was now excited at the prospect that they could be in an entirely different galaxy- a thought that would make others like Keith feel hopeless. No matter how many times Keith tried to tell the boy not to get his hopes up this seemed to be one thing that Lance wouldn't let go of especially after Hunk found his soulmate Shay. 

When he was younger, Keith like many others loved the idea that there was somebody out there destined for you, a person who would always be there for you. The thought comforted him for a time before he decided that soulmates were a stupid idea and that even if he did have one it would be just his luck that he would never find them- not like he was one for romance anyway. 

Keith was glad he had a mission so he could get away from Lance and his whining after he had another dream about meeting his soulmate. It was exhausting hearing Lance talk about someone he was likely never going to meet and Keith was at the end of his tether, so being sent on a solo rescue mission was just what he needed to blow off some steam. He was glad that the rebels trusted him to do this. But, he was feeling even more pressure to prove himself to the coalition now Shiro was gone and he had taken up the mantle of the black paladin, leader of Voltron. 

It was a simple mission, the rebels had sent one of their operatives undercover on Haggar's ship where they had been gathering intel and now they needed to be extracted before the coalition launched its attack on the ship hoping that they could not only gather more intel from the ship on galra plans but also on Shiro's location. 

Hiding the Black lion behind an asteroid near the ship he jetpacked the rest of the way there. He could hear Pidge Talking to him via the comms on where to land and how to get into the ship undetected. Following her directions without a hitch, he quickly found himself inside the galran cruiser making his way towards where the operatives living quarters he put in the door code in that they had supplied the rebels with and was deflated to find nobody in the room. He quickly stepped inside, closing the door when he heard the sound of steps coming his way, deciding it would be better to just stay here until they came back. He tapped his feet on the ground in annoyance wanting to get this done quickly in hopes that they may have intel on Shiro or local prisoner ships at the least. He quickly hid on the wall of the door when he heard someone come up to it, sword drawn in case it wasn't the operative but before he could even see how it was a dagger was being shoved into his neck as he was backed up against the wall, his sword falling to the ground.

“Who are you and what are you doing in my room?” you spoke venom in your voice digging the dagger further into the boy's neck as it struggled to answer

“You're the operative?” Keith questioned before saying your name causing you to lose your hold on the dagger “I’m here to extract you, The rebels sent me” he tried to explain shocked that you had been able to catch him off guard

“That’s not true and I don’t work with the rebels, I work for Haggar” You haven't heard anything from the rebels so this must be a trap

“I don’t have time for this” Keith snapped as he pulled a syringe out of his pocket going to stab you in the hand when a force stopped it from even touching your hand.

You were having a similar predicament as when you tried to cut his hand off with your dagger it instead stopped as if an invisible force was blocking you. The two of you stared at each other in shock clearly knowing what this meant 

“I really don’t have time for this either” Keith grabbed your hand and dragged you out of your room once again following Pidge's directions getting out of the ship and into the Black lion with such ease it made him wonder why they didn’t infiltrate bases more often.

The journey back to the castle of lions was awkward, to say the least. After Keith had shown you that you in fact weren't getting kidnapped by a paladin of Voltron it finally hit you what had happened. You couldn't hurt him and he couldn't hurt you- which meant you were soulmates. It was a thought that would have made you excited if you didn't remember his reaction. He clearly didn’t want a soulmate claiming he didn't have the time. Waited all your life to meet your soulmate and they don’t even want you- just your luck you guess.       

Princess Allura had graciously decided to host you for a few days as all of the rebels' resources were going towards their invasion of Haggar's ship which meant they wouldn't be able to come and take you back to base for a full debrief straight away much to your annoyance. You would feel bad if your supposed soulmate didn’t want to give you the time of day. Honestly, you just felt sad. All your life is supposed to lead up to finding this one person and that is all you get? Your thoughts were quickly halted by the sounds of voices coming down the corridor 

“Why are you acting so angsty Keith, I thought you were over this whole emo boy stuff” you heard unfamiliar voice call out  

“Shut up Lance” Keith, you assumed, replied annoyed 

“Hey! It’s not my fault you’ve had a stick up your arse since you returned from your little rescue mission” Lance defended “What is she your soulmate or something” he queried in a joking manner somewhat laughing at his own words but his laughter quickly dies down at the lack of response from the other boy “Your joking?” Lance cried out clearly surprised “You're not joking” he quickly realised

“I’m not” is all the other boy said almost as if he still didn’t believe it but as quickly as their voices appeared in the corridor they also left before you could hear anything else.

Just great you thought as you dropped onto the bed deciding to take a nap in hopes it will give you some respite from this hell.  

It wasn’t until the second day of your three-day stay that he came up to you, he had clearly sought you out as nobody the whole day had entered the common room and he seemed relieved to see you in the room he quickly sat opposite you but sat in silence as you read another page from a book you had found in your room.

“Can I help you?” you asked as it seemed he was never going to cut to the chase 

“Oh- um yes.” he started clearly not accepting you to say anything “I just thought we could talk about-” he began

“Us being soulmates? What is there to talk about, you clearly don't want this,” you responded wanting this awkward conversation to be done already

“It’s not- I mean I guess.” Keith stuttered from the bluntness of your words “I just don’t have the time” he reiterated his earlier words

“Time doesn't stop for anyone, but I get it. It’s a time of war and you're right at the centre of it” is all you said getting up from your seat and leaving the room leaving no room for argument. 

On the third day, you were told it was your final, a rebel ship would be coming to pick you up that day. You quickly gathered any belongings you had while thanking Allura for her hospitality it was only when she left you in the hanging dock that Keith came running in

“I was thinking about what you said” He began “It’s not that I don't want this, because I think I do but I also don’t want to put you in danger” he admitted “But I also don’t want you to go and this be it”       

“Time isn't going to stop for us” you reminded him

“I know,” he confessed. “That’s why I want to make time for us. If you would like that”

“I would.”

Analysis on Lance's underrated role on the team

Or

The Space Mom Lance Agenda Masterpost

Here I will add the links to this meta and some other VLD meta in case anyone is interested in reading.

What is this about?

To those who don't know what i'm talking about, the "Team Mom" is a popular trope often found in ensemble shows where there is a character who acts in a more "gently parental" way to other members of the team.

Just like how the popular "Space Dad" nickname was coined for Shiro and the fandom accepted he was the "Team Dad", there was a time when the fandom tried to shove Allura in the "Space Mom" role.

But after the first seasons, the fans realised that Allura didn't exactly fit the role and just stopped using the name for her.

Some people tried to call Hunk the Mom Friend or Coran as he is also an adult and Allura's guardian.

This little meta is my attempt of saying that the closest thing the Paladins had to a "Space Mom" was a lanky cuban teenager.

Each part covers Lance's relationship with the rest of the team from this angle: how Lance takes on a caretaker/protector position and other interesting stuff I may find relevant.

Part 1. What is a Team Mom?/Keith

Part 2. Keith 2/Allura

Part 3. Allura 2

Part 4. Pidge

Part 5. Pidge 2/Hunk

Part 6. Hunk 2/Shiro

Part 7. Shiro 2/Coran

Part 8. Coran/The Space Pets

Part 9. The Space Pets/Veronica

Part 10. Veronica, Nadia and Sylvio

Part 11. Miscellaneus

Besides I will add other posts that were born while making these posts.

Hope you guys enjoy reading.

Voltron: the proper drinking age for Cuban coffee…

Lance and his wife Elena is sitting on the couch, watching tv. Their son Leandro is running around the room, playing with a toy voltron blue lion.

The boy suddenly notices lance taking a sip from a very small glass and walks up to him.

Leandro: hay dad! What are you drinking?

Lance pauses and looks down at his son.

Lance: oh this? This is Cuban coffee.

Leandro: can I have some?

Lance: sure.

But before he holds out the glass, Elena stops him.

Elena: NO! Do not give him any Cuban coffee!

Lance: why not?

Elena: he’s too young for that.

Leandro: when can I have Cuban coffee?

Elena: when your 18 years old.

Lance: 18?! I was aloud to drink Cuban coffee when I was 11.

Then Elena turns to lance, looks him dead in the eye.

Elena: lance. If he drinks Cuban coffee, he is going to be WIRED. He’ll be bouncing off the walls, jumping on the furniture and running all over the house. He will be going for HOURS. Which means when it’s time to go to bed, he will NOT SLEEP. Which means if he is not sleeping, WE will not be able to “go to sleep” if you catch my drift!

Lance takes a moment to think about the meaning behind those words. Gears turning in his head and finally it clicks.

Lance: oooooooh… yeah sorry son, your moms right, no Cuban coffee till your 18.

Leandro: awwww D:>

Elena: that’s my final word on the matter, now go play.

Leandro runs off to play with his toy voltron lion. When he leaves, lance turns to Elena.

Lance: ok, when you said “go to sleep” you meant sex right?

Elena leans over and gives lance a kiss on the cheek. Wearing a mischivious grin.

Elena: so glad you caught on to that! ^_^
