did a bunch of voltron frame redraws recently !! it’s lots of fun seeing how a media i love looks in the original style vs my own style !

(it’s especially fun considering the first drawing (the 5 panel one) is something i’ve been redrawing since 2016, so i get to see my progress over the years)

well, you see, the thing is: (instead of finishing my sentence i curl up comfortably in bed and go to sleep

Hunk and Lance were all but eleven years old when they met one another. Their first year as middle schoolers, and they both couldn’t be more terrified, for their own reasons.

Lance had grown up in such a large family that all he really wanted was to be seen and heard. He never blamed his parents, of course; it was easy to lose one kid to the crowd if he didn’t make himself known. Middle school would be different; he’d make friends, people would know his face and his name, he’d mean something to someone.

Hunk was someplace new, someplace terrifying. After the accident that had taken his parents’ lives, his brother had taken to raising him. His brother was attending University now, they had to move to be closer to it. The places, the people were all unfamiliar to him. Not only that, but this was a new school. A middle school, which he’d never experienced before.

Lance wasn’t sure what exactly it was about this kid— this shy, clearly uncertain boy— but he was drawn to him. Their bond was near instantaneous. Lance was charismatic (in that awkward preteen sort of way), he was playful and eccentric, and he just wanted a friend. Hunk was the perfect man for the job; he was kind, and gentle, he was a warm hug and fresh baked cookies after a long day personified. Lance had been the first kid to treat him kindly after such a big change, such a big move.

They were an unstoppable pair, the best of friends. Where one went, the other typically followed.

Lance had always dreamt of being a pilot, a fighter pilot, which meant he’d always dreamt of attending the Garrison.

He hadn’t expected Hunk to follow this time; he knew his buddy had no desire to fly, to pilot. He’d always had a hobby of cooking or baking, he liked to build and tinker, but piloting was never on his list of desires or hobbies.

But Hunk felt like he had such a high bar to reach, such big shoes he feared he couldn’t fill. His brother had both raised him and completed university at the same time. He was successful, he was smart, he was kind. He was superhuman, in Hunk’s eyes. He had to do something that could live up to his expectations.

When Lance told him he had submitted his application to the Garrison, the idea came to him. He would follow Lance. He would be a pilot engineer. They could stick together, as buddies always did. It wasn’t his passion, sure, but it would make his brother proud.

It was there that they met their teammate for the simulators: Pidge. This guy was feisty, intelligent (sometimes a bit too much for Lance to follow, but they made do), but most of all, cared way too much, even if they strived not to show it.

Pidge fit into their trio with ease; their presence was natural, like they’d always belonged in their group. They bickered with Lance like siblings, they raved about tech with Hunk. They were secretive, but not in the way that tore their friend group apart. Hunk and Lance could see their hurt that Pidge thought they were hiding so well, and they knew better than to pry.

The three of them were inseparable. It makes sense that the three of them wound up in space together, on the same team once again, doesn’t it?

he’s right

Okay I’m going to speak what may be blasphemy but it must be said.

I don’t care for Keith’s dad. Perhaps having a dangerous job and then proceeding to ignore safety regulations for said dangerous job while having a young son at home wasn’t the best idea. Like… why tf would you risk your life that much when you have a small child (Keith looks like he can’t be older than 10 in the flashback we get of him at his father’s grave) who is half alien at home???? Especially when said kid has no idea he’s half alien. What exactly was the plan if Keith ever started manifesting physical galra traits with no idea what was happening or how to hide it???
