In an earlier post, you mentioned that you weren’t going to do any lion swapping in your VLD Rewrite.

So, I’m assuming the means Shiro also gets to keep his Bayard.

Do you have any ideas for what form Shiro’s Bayard will take?

I did say that, yea !! I've since played with the idea of maybe having some instances where someone else will pilot a different lion for Plot, but it won't be permanent, and it won't be the same as the Bond (tm) that the lion has with her paladin. but I digress <3

I have sooooo many thoughts about shiro's bayard <3 I've always LOVED the hc that his bayard takes the form of a shield so at the moment that's my primary idea, but I also think it'd be cool if he had a few alternate forms later on (in fact, I'm planning on giving Everyone a few alternate forms as they continue to develop their skills) and ngl ngl ngl I am thinking sooo so hard about polearms. so very incredibly hard.

#the thing abt shiro is that. given his trauma w being forced to kill. i dont think his bayard would take the form of something #that is excessively violent. like a zweihander or mace or something ykw.#because i think he knows its a war and he has to kill sometimes but i also think he really really hates doing it.#and will only do it if he absolutely has to.#idk idk i think there's something poetic about The Gladiator The Black Paladin having a shield or a bo staff as a weapon #something that is more for Defense and Protection than killing. and can only be lethal if a deliberate choice is made to be lethal.#i havent really decided for sure what his main bayard form will be but itll be something along those lines #quintenary stars series #xpegasusuniverse #also to clarify on the temporary lion switches its not between the paladins themselves its like.#a paladin is injured/incapacitated for a long period of time and in the meantime the lion allows allura to pilot her For Necessity #but there's no bond there allura's just a placeholder who can pilot and form voltron but thats about it #et cetera
