gia. i am requesting some younger broganes headcanons pls

i wasn’t sure exactly what you meant by younger, but i went for their pre-kerberos dynamic! i hope that's ok 🌈🌌☄

the garrison once asked all the students to write down the names of their piloting role models, and keith wrote shiro's

this made shiro go all mushy, which in turn made keth tell him that he was just the only person there whose name he could remember

matt: this is my little sister katie. she built a robot when she was only six. one day she'll be the greatest tech genius in the world

shiro: this is my little brother keith. when he was thirteen he stole my car and then i adopted him. one day he'll get into a fistfight with god

matt hates hearing shiro's stories about keith's stunts because it genuinely makes him question everything he ever learned during his lifetime of being a nerd

matt: are you aware of the fact that according to literally every law of physics your brother should have died approximately forty times by now

shiro, who didn't have breakfast that morning because keith ate a whole box of dry cereal the other day: i should be so lucky

sometimes keith will just run up, jump on to shiro's back, and then stay there for the unforeseeable future. shiro doesn't even acknowledge him up until he goes to sit down and keith yells "stop takashi you're going to crush me!!" to which he feigns surprise and goes "oh hey keith. when did you get there"

shiro: and just remember, patience yields focus

keith, nodding seriously: ok. got it.

shiro: great! i knew you would buddy

adam:

adam, once they're left alone: dude. what does that even mean?

shiro, dropping his face into his hands: i have no idea. i'm only twenty i don't even know how to preheat the oven please leave me alone

thirteen-year-old keith once gave adam the shovel talk. adam tells shiro about this as though it's some cute anecdote, but shiro actually panics because "no you don't get it, he's serious. you should probably lay low until i talk to him"

keith: would you take a knife for shiro?

adam: haha um. sure?

keith, reaching into his pocket: ok good

keith sometimes gets scared during the night but he doesn't know what he's supposed to do about it so he just taps over to shiro's room and stands next to his bed silently staring until shiro wakes up with a scream

shiro: i will never give up on you keith

shiro, after finding a knife under keith's pillow while changing his bedsheets: ...i will give up on you occasionally

the first time keith initiated a hug was genuinely one of the happiest moments of shiro's life. this is a big deal, considering the fact that he literally keeps a memory book

shiro, showing the memory book to adam: and this is keith in his favourite romantic chemicals t-shirt

keith, burying his face in a pillow: you're so embarrassing. please fuck off

whenever shiro acts particularly overbearing and dad-like, keith just looks him straight in the eye and goes "isn't saturday bingo night in the retirement home"

shiro, the pioneer of recklessly driving off of cliff edges: are you TRYING to get yourself killed

keith, who just went skating without his knee pads: ...

whenever he talks to literally anyone shiro will be like "yeah i love keith. he's a very good kid and an amazing pilot and i'm very proud of everything he has achieved. i would do anything for him" but also when keith asks if he can have a gum he’ll say no and call him a shithead

shiro: keith, dinner's ready! come to the kitchen

keith: (comes to the kitchen)

shiro: it'll be done in five minutes, actually. but now that you're already here you might as well set the table

keith, opening the drawer with the kitchen knives: i hate this family

the sillier the joke, the louder keith laughs. the first time little preteen keith bursts into full-body laughter is when shiro makes a truly horrible pun, and once he calms down he's like "what the shit are you looking at" while shiro just stares at him with tears in his eyes because god he loves this little dude so much

garrison official: wait. keith isn't your kid?

shiro: ...no?

garrison official 2: huh. i really thought you and adam adopted him

shiro: wh... how many of you thought this?

shiro:

shiro: put your hand down, keith

A Long and Screamy Rant

So this is a rant dedicated to @apvrrish's fic (aknightley on AO3) 'calling me to come back', a gem of a fic and a sincerely gorgeous work. (If you haven't read it yet, go do it here and now!! Seriously, you won't regret it)

I was originally going to make this only about how I felt, but she writes so well I have to put something about her writing style there

Spoilers for the fic under the cut!!

1. Her worldbuilding

Literally once the fic started, I had such a good idea of what the shop looked like. Even if it may not have matched her mental image, it was so clear in my head (which is extremely rare for me). Apvrrish also does amazing descriptions, and it's like I'm actually living in the moment. It's so awesome!!!

2. Characterization

She nailed it. Completely and actually nailed it; bullseye after bullseye; on point. Shiro and Keith's relationship, later on Keith and Lance's relationship, Pidge (idk why I really liked the mental image of Pidge with a bun. I just did) staying up really late to help Keith, the way pIDGE CAN USE HER MAGIC THROUGH ELECTRONICS HDKCKSKCKFD

3. Lotor and Honerva/Hagar

Honestly, I was going to make this a side note on characterization, but this is so good it deserves its own topic. Honerva is so extra and I love it? I mean obviously it's not cool that she literally tried to kill Lance so that Lotor could go to a school. But that is something that she would totally do, and I can't really express my love for the all of this.

I also love the way aknightley wrote (or rather, mentioned) Lotor. Here's a beautiful beautiful quote: "Lotor was evidently interested in genetic science, something that Alfor specialized in, but Alfor was also specialized in avoiding people he didn’t care for, something Keith found enviable."

So maybe that quote doesn't focus on Lotor specifically, but it's such a GOOD SENTENCE. It wasn't the type of funny that would make me burst out into laughter, but the kind of brilliant genius that made me stare at my laptop screen and re-read that sentence five times, because it's that good.

4. While we're on this topic, QUOTES.

"Scrolling to a number that’s only labeled with a small bird emoji and a poop emoji, he texts, Can you do some research for me?" It isn't really the quote itself that I liked, per se, but the idea that Pidge's contact name is a bird and a poop emoji. That is perfect?? And I love it so much???

“Am I wrong, Sunshine?” Lance asks, tilting his head and smiling slyly." Lance calls Keith Sunshine. LANCE CALLS KEITH SUNSHINE OH MY GOD I CANT??? !!!!!!!

"You don’t need it to look pretty, Keith thinks, unbidden." Do I even need to explain here? Seriously, look me in the eye and ask my why I love this quote so much, I dare you. KEITH ADMIRING LANCE'S BEAUTY IS MY GODDAMN JAM

"“Sure, kiddo,” Shiro says, taking a sip of coffee with raised eyebrows." This. THIS!! The amount of pure goodness in this line is enough to make me cry. Shiro knows. Shiro knows!!!

"“Besides the obvious reasons,” Shiro says, raising his eyebrows. Keith gives in to pettiness and uses his magic to fling the pieces of cereal still on the counter at his face, grinning when they nail him directly in the nose." THIS IS THE GOOD BROGANES CONTENT THAT I LIVE FOR DID YOU KNOW??? Again, with characterization,, such perfection.

"“A customer,” Pidge says, doing air quotes. “A customer you dream about and who makes you go super smiley when he calls you on the phone.”" PIDGE KNOWS. SHIRO KNOWS. THEY ALL KNOW AND STILL KEITH REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE IT. A GOOD TROPE. I VERY MUCH APPROVE.

"“So I guess I should -- um -- take this off?” He pulls lightly at the material over his chest and Keith feels his own face heat up." FLUSTERED KLANCE IS BEST KLANCE. NO, I DONT ACCEPT OTHER ANSWERS. THIS IS LAW.

"Lance leaned in close so he can peer into Keith’s face.

Across the room, a cedar branch catches fire." AGAIN. FLUSTERED KLANCE IS BEST KLANCE. NEED THERE BE ANY MORE PROOF? (Also, I hope all these quotes convey the immense love I have for aknightley and her writing)

“I’m going to have to buy her something very sparkly,” Keith murmurs to himself, smiling at the little heart she’s drawn next to her name.

Just,, sparkles!! ✨✨give Allura all the sparkly things 2Kforever please and thank you :)

“I’m good, Sunshine,” Lance says, stretching a little. “In fact, I kind of feel lucky right now.”

OHHHHHH BOY. THIS IS THE CLICHE BUT WONDERFUL TYPE OF THING THAT A HERO GENERALLY SAYS BEFORE THE BIG SHOWDOWN AND I LOVE IT A LOT??? ITS BEAUTIFULLLLLLL GIVE ME EVERY AND ALL THE CLICHE TROPES

5. Keith taking off his protections so that he could talk with Lance in his dreams

I'm probably reading way too much into this, but Keith literally let Lance inside all of his defenses. This is his how much he likes Lance. He stripped down all his protection that he's had for like, forever and let himself be vulnerable ALL FOR LANCE. I CANNOT BELIEVE,, THE SHEER EMOTION AND TRUST SHOWN IN THIS SCENE,,, UGH MY HEART

6. Similarly, the garden scene

This is Keith's private place. This is where he goes to remember his parents, and he let Lance come with him. Again, probably reading way to much into this, but Keith is actually letting Lance in? I mean it's never stated explicitly in the fic but I don't think Keith really goes around sharing the garden with people... wHICH MAKES THIS SO MUCH MORE SPECIAL HDJCKDKSKC I WAS LITERALLY CLUTCHING MY CHEST I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS

7. Keith giving Lance his mom's jacket

Keith didn't even let Shiro, his own brother, keep some of his parents' books from him. Granted, it was a different situation, but still. Keith is incredibly protective of anything and everything related to his parents, so the fact that he let Lance wear and KEEP his mom's jacket?? Is like the equivalent of other people literally ripping out their heart for someone else. The Klance here is absolutely wonderful.

8. The 'fuck your emotions' scene

WELL DAMN, APVRRISH, FUCK WITH MY EMOTIONS WONT YOU?? THEYRE BOTH SO GODDAMN SELF SACRIFICIAL??? LIKE LANCE I GET IT YOU LOVE HIM AND DONT WANT HIM TO GET HURT BUT DONT PUSH HIM AWAY LIKE THIS PLEASE,, ON ONE HAND THIS SHOWS HOW MUCH LANCE CARES FOR KEITH AND WANTS HIM TO BE SAFE BUT ON THE OTHER HAND 'FUCK YOUR EMOTIONS' LANCE QUOTES LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL... stop taking both mine and Keith's hearts and stomping them into bits you HEARTBREAKER

9. "The bell, when it rings above Lance's head, still cruelly sounds like laughter."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. CATCH ME SCREAMING INTO THE VOID BECAUSE DAMNNNNNNNN. THE HOLY UNION OF BEAUTIFUL WRITING AND ALL OF THE FEELS IN THE WORLD. My eyes do not deserve to see the glory that is this sentence,, I had to give it a separate topic from Quotes because it was just. So good,,, Even now I feel like I'm not doing it justice, but it's so MIND BLOWINGLY AWESOME that I just can't. 👏🏻👏🏻 you did good, apvrrish.

10. Keith realizing he loves Lance

Need I say any more? Literally ALL I could dare to ask for. It's beautiful and I love it a lot. I also like how you didn't make it this big panicky moment for Keith, because honestly? Finding out that you're in love with someone isn't supposed to be all 'oH MY GOD WHAT DO I DO THIS IS BAD'. If realizing that you're in love with someone is bad, well, why are you in love with that person in the first place?

I kinda went off on a tangent there but anyways!! My main point- I really REALLY liked you portrayal of this scene and the way you wrote it. *swallows down the screams of the damned my emotional heart*

11. The dandelion

They're soul bound. They're soul bound, and Keith used a love spell thingy to track down Lance because he loves him and holy hell they're SOUL BOUND. I mean, the whole soulmate thing is low key overdone, not just in this fandom but everywhere. Yet apvrrish manages to put her own unique spin on the whole thing, incorporating magic and the idea of 'marriage bonds', which is really unique.

12. The idea of modern magic

Okay so I've been trying to go in chronological order but as I keep reading I just find this world so so cool. Most times there's a magical AU, the characters are somehow in the past, or it's a different world. But this, this is a combination of modern tech and somehow also these awesome magical abilities. There are potions with real life ingredients (certain types of wood, flowers, stones or minerals, etc.) and for realistic purposes. This is so realistic that I can actually imagine it happening, which is GREAT because it shows just how good of a writer that apvrrish is, but at the same time, makes me wish so so hard that I could be part of this world. Modern magic,, hdjckskc stab me in the heart with everything I've ever wanted, won't you?

13. “True love or some shit, I think,” Lance says cheerfully, and waves his hand.

Another quote too good for the Quotes section. He says this so nonchalantly?? It fits Lance's character SO WELL and so was really funny (idrk why it just made me smile a lot). Also, they're in LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE~

14. Red!!

Beautiful cat child is cute and deserves all the love. I ADORE witch familiars, and Red helping Keith out with the exorcism thing was really pleasing to read. Also,, Red and Lance interactions. The pLaYFuL bAnTEr between Keith and Lance. Hhhhhhhhhhhhh I love this so muchhhh

15. The ending

tHE ENDING, OH MY GOD THE ENDING. THEY LITERALLY RODE INTO THE SUNSET ON A MOTORCYCLE. IM CRYING ITS SO CLICHE BUT BEAUTIFUL??? ME, SOBBING? ITS MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK BECAUSE THIS IS A GORGEOUS CONCLUSION.

Also! "“Why not?” he says quietly, leaning back against Lance’s chest. “We’ve got time.”"

That. THAT. I've already said this in a comment on the fic itself, but this is so good it needs to be said again. This entire story has kind of a recurring theme of how Keith doesn't have enough time with his loved ones (his parents and Lance because of the curse). But now that he broke the curse, he finally had time to be all cutesy and happy with Lance because they have time. Lance is no longer in danger of dying, and so they can take the long way and enjoy life just because now, they can. Catch me screaming into the void again because THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

A last note- I found a song that kinda fits for this fic. The lyrics match the best, but in general the song is also super pretty!! So if you have time give it a listen because it's,, so good (jUST LIKE THIS FIC).

I still feel like all this ranting isn't enough to do this work of art and perfection justice, but anyways!! Apvrrish, continue being the awesomely amazing writer you are.

~Paladin

OKAY OKAY SO IMAGINE A TEAM VOLTRON MODEL AU !!!

- Most of them are from different companies, but they’re united by Allura, genius designer of their time who sees them and knows immediately she needs them for her shows

- Coran is the photographer and he makes them all feel super comfortable because he knows how awkward it can be sometimes (coran used to be a model too!!)

- Keith and Shiro aka Broganes are a famous duo that come from a powerhouse company; they debuted together and have modeled as a pair since then, attracting a huge following

- Hunk and Pidge also model together for a different company, and Allura loves their dynamics

- Lance is an instagram model (best friends with Hunk but didn’t get to debut with him because of personal reasons ;))))

- Originally Allura had gathered just Keith, Shiro, Hunk, and Pidge for her team but she saw a picture of lance on Hunk’s phone as he was scrolling through his feed and knew she HAD to have lance for the team; he was the missing piece

- lance being insecure around all of them because they’re all big shot models and he’s just a rookie who’s never actually done a fashion show; Shiro becoming a father figure to him because they get shit drunk one night and lance’s insecurities bubble out to Shiro, who takes it all in with a soft smile and reassuring words

- pidge and keith causing trouble around the team house, constantly pranking Lance who screeches in disbelief every time it happens

- lance and keith arguing constantly, even during interviews and in behind the scenes videos; they become famous and everyone starts shipping klance

- they reveal their relationship through a photo shoot that Allura labels “Roses are Red, Violets are Blue” and its keith and lance in varying flower themed clothes and it’s just rlly cute !!!!

- Shay is a stylist on the team and Hunk is absolutely in love with her !!! pidge constantly makes fun of him

- matt is an editor of one of the magazines most of their photo shoots show up on and he’s always teasing pidge about their photos

- allura and shiro date in secret and the entire team is scandalized when they walk in on the two making out after a show; keith looks at his nails, unbothered “I knew along. you two make fucking heart eyes at each other all the time.”

JUST !!! TEAM VOLTRON AS MODELS WITH ALLURA AS A DESIGNER AND CORAN AS A PHOTOGRAPHER AND !!!!!!

#mine #voltron #pidge #lance #hunk #keith #shiro #allura #coran #klance #shallura #au #model au #my writing #i'm gonna do art for this def #i'm gonna add more to this later

After reading your royai voltron AU (amazing btw) I was wondering who you deem to be the other paladins?

I’ve been thinking about this a LOT. Okay, so this is strange, since I gave Riza the Princess Allura role instead of being one of the Paladins, but I’m going to roll with this HARD. Because I’m in love with both FMA and Voltron.

Black Lion: Roy (OBVIOUSLY)

Red Lion: Ed. C'mon, Ed has definitely got some of Keith’s attitude and his badass abilities. Plus, it’ll give me the parental!Royed feels that go hand-in-hand with the Brogane feels of Shiro and Keith. The sword bayard reminds me of the way Ed turns his automail arm into a pointy object of death too. And red is Ed’s color LBR. The idea of the Red Lion going into Panic Mode every time Ed is in trouble gives me life.

Yellow Lion: I’m going to give this one to Alphonse. I considered Breda as well, but no, this one goes to Al because he is precious but also not to be messed with just like Hunk. I could see him using the bulk strength of his lion like he uses his metal armor body. Plus, you know he would be the most loyal person ever and the one to befriend other aliens first thing!

Blue Lion: Havoc – and you cannot convince me otherwise. He thinks he’s good with the ladies, has a good sense of humor, and is the sharpshooter of the group since Riza is the Princess of Altea in this AU. What with the way Lance tries to be smooth with every pretty girl/alien, I can definitely picture Havoc in this role, but also because of their similar insecurities. Plus, the idea of him flirting with Riza and Roy just being like, “……..no,” makes me die.

Green Lion: Winry. Okay, so I initially had this as Fuery (and to be honest, I’m still kind of torn, because hello Pidge + gadgets reminds me of him), but I want there to be a female Paladin and this was the only one I thought fit. But I like the idea of Winry being the technical genius of the Voltron group and everyone just turning to gawk at her whenever she does something crazy and ridiculous.

BONUS – Hughes is Coran in this universe because I cannot get over the idea of Hughes being absolutely ridiculous and giddy (but then also in pain because his wife and daughter are gone, wow, ouch) and he becomes super buddies with Roy, but is very protective of Riza too.
