#horses not depicted in these wip shots

[mushangaa]

wips to look back on to for myself and wonder quietly, why i have zero chill.

I wanted some sort of funny lil "oh we go to a competition" intro comic thingie like I saw others do and was like "eh.. 3 or 4 pages right?" I worked up 20 so far because idk flow?? Madness?? Zero chill? No idea but I am loving the ride I am on honestly. And yeah sketches / undersketches /linework all over the place because I sketched out almost all the pages roughly and instead of going page by page I just... jump back and forth on what I like to do first and build it up from there. Also like.. 8 characters to bounce around. And horses. Can't forget there are also some horses because they decide to take along some of them for bribery or to endear themselves to their competition to maybe team up and get past the prelims together. As normal people do. Jus.. a "little" comic for the @tmntaucompetition prelims in the works with my "The Unicorn Paradox" crew

[yifftwiceplz]

editor's note: here is also a wip of... idk one in a series of one-shots i want to write w strider sibs

this one is dirk and rose, warning for responsible alcohol mentions

[ Dirk is wrestling with a bad mental state; enter rose unannounced. Rose tries to get Dirk to open up about what’s bothering him.]

[ A lot of back and forth; Dirk has already overthought his issues and is just stuck in a loop of doing that ]

[ Dirk mentions having difficulty being open about his problems because they make him look insane. ]

“Dirk, I have to admit that considering possible options influencing your depressive mental state, I could never have guessed you were wrestling with shame.” Rose commented gently, finding herself more aware of the gay horse furry porn plastered all over the walls of her grown brother’s room.

Dirk looked up at her quizzically. “What do you mean?”

“... Let’s put a pin in that.”

[ blah; vague discussion of feelings ]

[ blah; rose suggests they drink responsibly as a distraction; dirk is skeptical]

“How familiar are you in the art of tarot reading?” Rose asked, pulling a deck from seemingly nowhere.

Dirk regards her dully, choosing not to ask why she stays strapped with a bunch of cards. “I’m familiar with it being bullshit.”

“Of course it’s bullshit. Anyone who genuinely believes a mass-produced card with a bunch of swords printed on it could actually divine one’s fortune or fate is laughably gullible.”

“Then why do you have them… and isn’t divining fortune your whole schtick?”

“Yes, hence why I have them.” Rose sorts through the cards lazily. “But, funnily enough, the rules of a reality-altering world-ending video game and an Italian card game from the Late Middle Ages. Of course, there are similarities.

[ Rose explains she thinks fortune is a concept and tarot cards are for personal/spiritual insight not a rulebook to get bitches and money ]

“Take the Devil for example.” Rose holds up the card, pointing to the illustration. “Here we have the eponymous Devil.”

“Whoa.” Dirk feigns surprise.

“Don’t interrupt. Anyway, it appears to be the devil, at least. What you’re actually looking at is the Pagan god Pan; which is who Christians demonized and used as early inspiration for depictions of Satan. Pan was a relatively mild god, taking the rest of Mount Olympus into account; mostly associated with nature and music. But he was also associated with hot sex and wild parties, which of course, upset the Christians.”

“No fun allowed. Get back to self-flagellation and corn flakes.”

“They didn’t have corn flakes at the time, but yes.”

[ Rose explains that there is nuance to the card’s meaning and it doesnt necessarily carry a negative connotation in every instance / is meant for you to ask yourself if your hedonism and materialism is just light fun or an actual vice; additionally that everyone has a vice they must manage ]

“This is a really convoluted way to justify recruiting a daydrinking buddy for yourself.”

“No, it’s a really convoluted way to convince you to have a screwdriver and lighten up before you think yourself into oblivion.”

[ write the rest of it ]

I'm off anon because I FIGHT the law of the land: What kind of headcanons do you have for your depiction of Almyra? Does Claude admire certain traditions or culture there? Also what are some of your favorite themes or scenarios you like to write with Claude specifically?

gASP. silv, you rebel, you!! 

ahahaha… would you believe me if i said the worldbuilding for almyra itself is still heavily a wip? whoops, i’m a sham. this is mostly because nox, pea, and i haven’t sat down to discuss it at length yet and they share the braincell with me when it comes to this stuff–

i can tell you right now a lot of the history and culture is going to be inspired by persia, but with that fe twist on things? a lot of stuff in the game lends to the idea of almyra being persia coded, such as part of the kingdom’s emblem resembling a zoroastrian relic and the like, for a super quick example because i’m tired– on that note, their religion is going to be based heavily off zoroastrianism. church and state are very separate, and king hasan (claude’s father) does not pressure his people to follow the nation’s official religion.

a few things i’ve nailed down for certain are as follows:

while historically almyra has always been a kingdom with a warrior culture and they still are today, the royal family has been slowly dialing it back over the ages– especially now that fodlan has successfully repelled one of their attempted invasions and set up a successful border defense. claude’s paternal grandfather, king cyrus farzad shirazi, in particular worked hard to loosen trading restrictions with fodlan, and claude’s father would like to open a dialogue to properly discuss peace treaties and a potential alliance someday. with rhea in power, however, there has been no response– leading to those little skirmishes at the border. claude hopes to continue where hasan left off when he ascends the throne.

keeping up with the religion of the region being based off of zoroastrianism, there are many fire temples scattered throughout almyra, and within them are fires that have been kept burning since the nation’s founding. fire plays a very big part in almyran festivals and religious ceremonies, as it is believed to be a purifying and cleansing force of nature alongside water, as well as life sustaining.

the main exports from almyra are textiles (carpets and the like), fruit, vegetables, wines, salt, spices, and metals. with vast, fertile prairies, harvests tend to be bountiful, and there’s a booming mining industry thanks to the presence of both the mountains and the desert.

family is a very important concept in almyra, and the royal family in particular is huge– claude’s father is the eldest in a family of at least five, one sibling of his being nader. in a perfect world, claude would have had a similar amount of siblings as well– but the outright disdain for a fodlanese woman entering the mix and producing a child has put a stopper on that. while hasan’s siblings and their spouses view this rejection of helena and her son as protecting their family, ironically it also goes against these very beliefs. this is a point hasan has been slowly making over the years, and it has been getting better. slowly. claude will be able to win over his paternal family by the time he returns home.

alongside the art of the blade and the warrior lifestyle, art is highly appreciated in almyra. the nation is big on painting, calligraphy, poetry, theatre, song, dance, and has a very distinct style of architecture you’d be hard pressed to find anywhere else. 

festivals are usually held at night and outside, before a bonfire. there are big feasts and dances, the air is filled with laughter and music, and there’s always a big feast– the dead are always honoured during these festivals alongside the main reason for celebration. 

almyran weddings are a very big deal, given the importance almyra places in family. ceremonies and the resulting receptions and parties can go on for weeks, especially in the case of the royal family. they pretty much follow the process for persian weddings, which i’ll link here! 

alongside horses, wyverns are a very important animal in almyran culture, both in battle and in day to day life. it’s easy to make deliveries and travel when your mount can fly! most children are taught to at least ride a wyvern for day to day life, and the royal family has a select breeder that has been providing them with mounts for hundreds of years now. that said, a white wyvern is said to be unlucky as its pearlescent scales make it more easily spotted and shot out of the sky, and stories of misfortune occurring after encountering one of these wyverns are common. it’s really all just a superstition, but it’s a long-running one.

if claude had to name things he especially loves and respects about his homeland, it would easily be both the culture – he’s fond of poetry, theatre, dance, and his homeland’s cooking in particular – and the history! while he’s as skilled of a warrior as the crown prince of a warrior nation is expected to be, claude is an academic at heart. as a child, he was constantly asking questions during his lessons and begging his aunt rajya to teach him more and more– they were the highlights of his day. he’s also incredibly fond of horses and wyverns, and is a skilled rider of both. animals don’t judge you, after all. they only love you.

as for things i love exploring with claude… hmm. it’s always hard to pick something on the spot but if i had to name something… i think i really love his distrustful nature and how it plays into how i write him? it’s fun writing that duality – the smiles and carefree facade he displays to the world and the watchful, calculating side hidden underneath that’s constantly on the lookout for danger or opportunities. i think i especially love him learning to be vulnerable and truly place his trust in people? i dunno, there’s something so satisfying about claude finally realizing that he feels safe around any given person. that he can finally relax. you know?

Do you know of any good Voltron fics with hurt Keith?? I can never find any, and if I do they're super shippy. Ships are fine, but I really enjoy some good gen. Thanks!

I definitely have some of these, though not nearly as much as I have hurt!Lance. I’ll see what I can do.

Between by SilverkleptofoxWords: 2,086 Author’s Summary: Between the biggest revelation of his life and his whole world changing, there is no time for Keith to rest and recover. His teammates make sure he does anyway. Tag to Season 2 Episode 8.My Comments: Almost unnecessarily detailed hurt/comfort based on canon injuries, haha. I love it.

Measuring Up by MoonlitWaterSunnyRiverWords: 1,092 Author’s Summary: Keith has insomnia, and finally decides to *do* something about it. Turns out he’s not the only one up at night. Keith & Lance friendship, written for Platonic VLD Week. My Comments: Aw, boys. Good talk.

Scattered by avidbeaderWords: 27,974 (WIP 11/?)Author’s Summary: Separated by Haggar’s parting shot, the Alteans and their new Paladins must regroup and find one another across the galaxies. Along the way, they will discover tragedy, treachery, and hope. Season 2 AU, no ships. My Comments: Really good action fic following the Season 1 finale. I got sucked into all of the paladins’ separate adventures really quickly, and it’s so satisfying to watch them slowly reunite. I’m really worried about Keith, though.

Aftermath by tristen84Words: 1,975 Author’s Summary: After his ordeal at the Blade of Marmora base, Keith turns out to be in worse shape than he thought. Hunk and Lance try to help. My Comments: I believe there was a call for more post-ep 8 Keith whump? Yes, it is here. I especially like that it’s Lance and Hunk who do the supporting in this one.

Insomnia by GriffinRoseWords: 15,278 Author’s Summary: They reunite after the Wormhole Incident all in one piece. Mostly. But some scars can’t be seen. Keith can’t sleep, no matter how hard he tries. Luckily he’s got the best team/family ever who are not about to let this go. No, seriously, they won’t let it go.My Comments: Absolutely wonderful, subtle hurt/comfort and teamy goodness. What was really wrong and how to fix it was obvious to me early on, but it was fun to watch the team slowly figure it out.

Casserole by genericfanaticWords: 1,922 Author’s Summary: After Shiro “dies” on the Kerberos mission, Keith is all alone. Some days are harder than others.My Comments: This author really excels at sharp, almost harsh depictions of pain and grief that are so realistic that you can feel it yourself. So good.

Wolves by Utsukushin (UserFromPluto)Words: 2,498 Author’s Summary: Keith’s hands shook, and for a second he allowed himself to give in to weakness, slumping forward so his upper body rested on Red’s dashboard. His eyes slipped closed, and immediately he was assaulted with a brutal wave - flashes of laser blasts and screams, the violent jolting of his lion in combat, tiny droplets of blood flying off his sword… “Keith?” (Keith has a hard time calming down after battles)My Comments: Stressed-out, hyper-vigilant Keith is really well-written and vivid, and the team’s concerted effort to surround him and make him feel safe again is lovely.

No Desert For You by MikiriWords: 5,373 Author’s Summary: They may have won, but what happens after? Keith worries of returning to Earth and the team comforts him as best they can.My Comments: SO sweet and comforting. Wonderful paladin pile, and I love how they just went around the room taking turns telling Keith that he’s been adopted and he’s not going back to the desert alone. Ever.

A Little Unsteady (Hold Onto Me) by DeerstalkerDeathFrisbeeWords: 13,385 Author’s Summary: Takashi Shirogane is nine years old when he holds his brother for the first time. “I’m here,” he’d whispered to his fussing baby brother, “I’m here, I’m here, I’m here.” And Keith stopped crying. He didn’t laugh; he looked up at Shiro with big, skeptical eyes. A challenge. Like this tiny person was saying ‘oh yeah, prove it’. And Shiro, newly nine years old, promised that he’d prove it. Shiro and Keith’s childhood in moments.My Comments: Modern setting AU, but with a few tweaks I could absolutely see this working in canon-verse. It’s incredibly touching and well-written, and Shiro’s development from reluctant child to fiercely protective big brother was beautiful to watch. Both boys went through a lot of heartache, but by the end they’re together, and you know they’re going to be okay.

Closure by wolfsan11Word Count: 7,837 Author’s Summary: Between finding Pidge’s family and healing up from the final battle against Zarkon, the Paladins only think of heading home, back to Earth. Keith has a hard time with that idea and the team helps. My Comments: This is just the sweetest. Everyone needs to hug Keith and reassure him that they’re family, no matter what.

A Gift Horse by To Be or Not to- Oh forget it (Mikki)Words: 17,801 Author’s Summary: The paladins of Voltron are the universe’s only hope, and they are ready to fight against the Galra. The only problem is, they’re one short. After stumbling their way through freeing a planet however, they might just find the solution to their problem in the form of a ‘gift of gratitude’. No one is happy about it.My Comments: Tagged as slight Klance, but reads gen. Warning for abuse, including implied sexual abuse, and slavery. So yeah. Team Voltron is “given” a Keith who has been raised as a Galra and enslaved for years. And then they proceed to absolutely bungle their handling of him. But I really liked Lance doing his best to get to know Keith as a person rather than a problem to be solved, and I find the concept really interesting. This is one of those fics where I want to write the sequel, because a LOT of work is going to need to be done to get these characters anywhere near healed after something like this.

Trial by Ordeal by To Be or Not to- Oh forget it (Mikki)Words: 89,187 Author’s Summary: They’re supposed to be two sides of the same coin, or something like that. The truth is a bit more complicated. (Character study of Keith and Lance)My Comments: This is long, but absolutely worth the effort. Warning for depictions of abuse in both parts, but it’s treated realistically and respectfully. There were parts in Keith’s chapter that I had to stop reading for a while and do something else, and pretty much everything in Lance’s chapter made me ache for him and the family he left behind. But it’s really, really good. Amazingly well-written and deep and lifelike, and it all makes so much sense, for both of these characters. I’ll be thinking about this one for a long, long time.

Burning Bright by RaccoonDoomWords: 2,221 Summary: For an anon request on my tumblr: “Can you do a klance fic where Keith is sick and Lance is surprisingly good at taking care of him despite his mood swings and bouts of delirium?” Not exactly what they requested but eh close enough. The first time sickness hit the team, it hit Keith. Hard. At least it’s easier to be sick when you have a team than when you’re alone in the desert.My Comments: Keith doesn’t know when to ask for help, but fortunately he doesn’t have to. Lance acts exasperated, but I think he secretly likes being needed, and he’ll step in wherever he can.

Keith Alone by cheshirereeWords: 5,328 Summary: Keith grows up alone, then he gains a family. It somehow becomes a cycle. Vent fic. My Comments: Very sad at the beginning, but well-written backstory and character study. This history for Shiro and Keith makes a lot of sense, and I loved the way Keith gradually came to accept the other paladins, too, and learn to interact with them. They have more in common than they believe at first.

An Echo of Thunder by WashiPuppyWords: 6,934 Author’s Summary: Good thing Lance has a plan. Okay, the second part of the plan had a few holes. It was a work-in-progress. Keith didn’t need to know that though.My Comments: HOLY EVERYTHING BATMAN I LOVE THIS FIC SO MUCH. I can’t even…I don’t want to spoil it! Just, okay, Lance and Keith are in trouble, right, and they both want to protect each other, isn’t that adorable, but THE LIONS. RED AND ALSO BLUE. Read it read it read it. If you read nothing else on the list this week, read this one. It made me SO happy. Fave. Fave of all time.

Call of Duty by APendingThought for MilkTeaMikuWords: 4,184 Author’s Summary: Lance thought he could handle most things when it came to Keith. He was not prepared for an infant Keith with an ear infection, however. My Comments: I may be aro/ace, and I definitely am, but there is still a very id part of me that is EXTREMELY pleased with the image of an attractive man taking care of a baby, and this story fed that part of me in the most wonderful way. Sweet and satisfying.

Conditional Acceptance by yet_intrepidWords: 6,914 Author’s Summary: Shiro’s looking for a job. Keith, new to the Garrison, needs a tutor to be allowed to stay. He also needs a lot of other things - a decent meal plan, for one, but more importantly, a friend. My Comments: Oh, gosh, this fic broke my heart, but it’s SO good. I would happily accept this as canon. I mean, I kind of have already. Poor Keith is so scared and sad and needy, and Shiro is nervous and out of his depth but so badly wants to help. And Matt as Shiro’s roommate is amazing. I just adore this one to pieces.

What If The Storm Ends? by earthstarWords: 17,913 Author’s Summary: After the fight with Zarkon, Keith finds himself stranded alone on a strange forest planet. All hope seems lost when he gets bitten by venomous creature, but he finds aid from someone he’s not sure he can trust. My Comments: I usually avoid Galra!Keith stuff, idk why, guess I want to see what canon does first. But I am a HUGE sucker for a wise and protective adult trying to take care of a scared and needy kid, and that’s what this is. The plot is great, as well as the character interactions and development, and I would happily accept this in canon.

Standing on the Edge by LenoirWhittlethornWords: 2,901 (WIP)Author’s Summary: Keith doesn’t know how to ask for hugs. My Comments: Golly, I am just ACHING for more of this. It’s so cute and sweet and touching. Keith needs all the hugs, omg. He doesn’t know how to ask, but fortunately the others know how to give.

assistance by asexualreyWords: 1,096 Author’s Summary: Keith managed to break his leg and Lance almost feels sorry for him. My Comments: This one is short and sweet, a little funny, a little sad, but very in character. I would like for these silly boys to be friends eventually, please.

Prison Bonds by GriffinRoseWords: 18,295 Author’s Summary: Keith and Lance are captured and stuck in a cell together, but it’s not the Galra. They almost wish it was. These Cordalians feed off of emotions, and their favorite emotion is sadness. Worse, they’ve found a way to make their victims relive their worst memories to make that pain fresh again, and Keith has a lot of terrible memories he’d rather not relive. My Comments: SO GOOD. SO MUCH PLATONIC CUDDLING. Lance and Keith are both suffering horribly, and all they can do is comfort each other and wait for rescue. I’m so happy that it’s gen, too. And it’s finished! Run, don’t walk. It’s so great.

Impractical Immune Responses by hufflepirateWords: 4,829 Author’s Summary: Keith discovers that he’s horribly allergic to something on the new planet they’ve landed on, and Coran discovers that his cryopods are completely unable to do anything about seasonal allergies. Luckily, the rest of the team has some ideas about what to do. Keith may not be good at acknowledging his weaknesses, asking for help, or letting other people take care of him, but he’s about to get a LOT of practice - enough to start surprising himself.My Comments: I really like how EVERYONE has an important role in this, all doing their best to take care of Keith and help him feel better. And Keith’s development is really lovely, as he starts off scared and distant then slowly warms up to the idea of leaning on his teammates for help. It’s a very sweet fic with a bit of depth, just how I like my h/c.

You stole a BABY?! by genericfanaticWords: 24,324 Author’s Summary:  The castle ship has a new stowaway, and Keith and Lance must figure out how to take care of them without alerting the rest of the crew. My Comments: Warning for child abuse, though it’s in the past. But yeah, this is a great angsty, h/c fic with endgame Klance but more importantly, Keith and Lance taking care of an adorable alien child. It’s well thought-out and plotted, and I enjoyed it from beginning to end. Loved Lance being smart and analytical with his research and Keith showing his fighting chops in an unfamiliar situation, too.
