Kidge Summer Event 2023

Kidge summer event 2023

Day 2: Pool

“I hate the Altean pools…”: Keith grumbled, looking at the great expanse of water on the ceiling.

"If I'm not mistaken you came here with Lance before, why did you want to bring me there?" Pidge asked frowning, frowning and smirking at the pool.

"I thought Lance had argued with Coran or Allura!": he tried to defend himself: "I thought they made it more like terrestrial pools!"

"And anyway, how do the Alteans swim?": she reflected, biting her finger and reasoning: "Allura or Coran never told me they can fly..."

“Fly?”: he raised an eyebrow: “Why do you think they can fly?”

“How do you think they get up there?!” she exclaimed, pointing to the upside-down pool on the ceiling.

“I can hold you,” he said, looking into her eyes.

“I wouldn't get there anyway…”: she replied, dropping on the cold metal floor of the lion castle: “What do we do now? It's hot and you can't use the pool… Why did Coran want to change the settings of the castle to make the climate similar to that of Earth?!”

"Yes, actually it's too hot...": admitted Keith: "Summer is the season of the year that I hate the most..."

"Every summer I travel with my parents to Italy to keep in touch with the Italian branch of my family, we always go to the Po Valley and every year the heat gets worse and worse...": Pidge grumbled, lying down on the cold floor and trying a small feeling of bliss. Keith, meanwhile was scanning the room, and, seeing an object hanging on the wall, with a grin, he took it and approached the girl.

“Hey, Pidge”: She opened her eyes at her call, only to be suddenly splashed with water.

"Keith!": She exclaimed, standing up abruptly and looking at her friend with a rod in his hand, ready to launch another attack: "You will have my revenge!"

“Try”: he smirked as she ran towards him, trying to snatch the hose from him: “You said you wanted water to cool off, here you are!”

“I meant a relaxing swim in the pool, you stupid Galra mullet!”: She laughed at her when he wets her again, still running around the room: “Ah, do you want war? Good!”

When Lance entered for their same purpose a few hours later, he found both paladins sprawled on the ground, panting as they laughed, soaking wet, but mostly happy.

"Don't call her hot, call her beautiful! She's a girl not a cup of tea!"

Parallels between Zarkon/Honerva and Keith/Pidge!!!

Ok.. so... I was rewatching Voltron when I noticed some parallels between Zanerva and Kidge. These are just theories so nothing is canon but I noticed that there are many thing so similar and that's pretty strange...

The way they met each other.

We know that Zarkon met Honerva when she was doing experiments and studying the portals of the differents reality, and Zarkon saw Honerva for the first time thanks to her cat Koba.

Well... Keith and Pidge really met for the first time when they went on Arus and decided to be a team for save the universe. Personally, I don't think they had a talk when they resqued Shiro but that's not the point. The point is how they met: thanks to the lions which are made with the comet that can travel through realities. Lions and cats are felines, so the same family.

2. The person who they both know

Honerva knew King Alfor since school (as we see in her memories on s8), while Zarkon knew King Alfor since they did the alliance, but they had never met before the comet's discovery. King Alfor is an altean.

As we know, Keith knew Lance since the Garrison, and so Pidge, and I add one more: it was Lance that decided to follow Keith when he tried to resque Shiro, while Pidge followed Lance. But there's more... Allura gave Lance altean marks on s8, so he's in part altean now...

3. Quintessence

Just don't be scared...

We know that both Honerva and Zarkon were corrupted by quintessence: Honerva worked with it while Zarkon went in close contact upon entering the rift. Allura told us that quintessence awakened the violent and evil nature of Zarkon (As we will also see with Lotor and the paladins in s6).

In s1 we can see Pidge working on the Galra cristal, which is full of quintessence, while Keith he hit a container of quintessence while fighting a druid, spilling some on himself. Familiar right?

Well, someone would say that that quintessence just cured him, but we can see that Zarkon could breath in space without oxygen, and in s6 Keith, while he was fighting with Shiro's clone, was still breathing in space without his elmet. In the same episode, we can see his Galra form awaken, in fact he became more violent... Just a coincidence?

And... they both entered in the rift...

4. Family

Have you ever seen how much they were willing to sacrifice everything for their family?

I mean... Honerva literally destroyed everything while Zarkon betrayed his friends and team for save his wife...

Pidge was very determined to find her dad and Matt and, as we can see in s1 ep1, she countered the mission to search for them or otherwise find information about them. And It's not the only time she does this. In s5, when Zarkon wanted Lotor in exchange for Sam Holt, we see how she is willing to do anything to get her father back, yelling at Matt, Shiro and all her team mates; not to forget that in s1 she threatened to quit the team for the same reason.

Keith is also willing to sacrifice his life for the people he cares about, such as Naxela for example. Also in s8, while the team is in Honerva's mind, you can see very well how he tries hard to save Pidge in particular, shooting and hitting the surface with the bayard, then falling to his knees and surrendering in defeat.

5. The titles

Ok... Now let's think about it...

Zarkon was a Galra black paladin..

Keith was also a Galra black paladin...

Honerva was a scientist...

Pidge is also a scientist...

Both are a Galra black paladin and a scientist!

Also, at the end of s8, Keith said that the Galra wanted him as their leader, but he refused. If he had accepted, the parallel would have been somewhat worse...

6. Pidge as Honerva references

Also, we can see how much Pidge and Honerva look similar extriorly.

For example, when she was working on the Galra crystal on s1, but there's more! In s4, when she was searching Matt, she went on a planet for a merchant, and she was wearing a black hood at the time, similar to Honerva's…

And, on s5, when Hunk, Lance and Pidge programmed a robot for fun, made some selfies. In one, we can see Pidge wearing Honerva's hood...

And that's all guys. But these are just crazy theories of mine. One thing I really wanted to say is that English is not my first language so there must be some kind of mistakes and I'm sorry about that...

Allura: But- I-

Lotor: There's no But or I! There's only we!

Allura: Ok. We love Lance

Lotor: Wait- What-
