love all ur posts even if im not in that fandom u write so WELL <33 to throwback to vld, remember that one episode where all the paladins were stranded in space ? how hunk was fantasizing about yellow picking another girl to replace him on voltron ?? ive been thinking abt that concept a lot ... esp with how relevant it was to lance's arc. like, would hunk really be relieved? esp in the later seasons? what do you think if something like that actually happened? if, the paladins got an s/o and their lion was immediately more DRAWN to their s/o then themselves??? how angsty would they all get ????? LOVE U SM GO CRAZY AND RIP MY HEART OUT

Paladins S/O being the New Pilot to their Lions

HIIIIII I MISSED YOOOOUUU💔💔💔 bro this request AARGHH ITS LIKE YOU WANT TO SEE THE PALADINS SAD🤨🤨🤨

this is actually such an interesting concept I love it sm

Hunk

Ok starting strong, I feel like Hunk would at first be kinda happy and relieved?

He’s happy that his s/o is experiencing such an amazing and special bond with the yellow lion

He realizes that the bond the lion and you have is actually much stronger and different compared to his and he just like

He would try and show you how to pilot yellow, only to see how natural flying is for you

He’s happy for you!! You begin taking the lion out on missions since it’s much more responsive with you

For him, it feels like that big responsibility of saving the universe has been lifted off his shoulders and he can finally relax

But those feelings slowly leave him once he notices just how out of loop he is with the group now

Hunk is a very reminiscent person in my opinion so I feel like Hunk is gonna start missing the yellow lion😭

At one point Hunk is going to feel left out💔

With no lion to fly, Hunk is stuck in the castle, maybe helping Coran with stuff, left to do whatever he wanted

And the thing is, Hunk wants to fly yellow again! As much as the pressure of being a paladin of Voltron got to him at time, he misses all of it

Hunk misses the feeling of excitement when flying his old lion, he misses the interactions he had with the other paladins during missions, he even misses the battles that happened more often than not

In general, Hunk misses being the paladin of the yellow lion

He’s grown to love the life of adventure that was bestowed upon him, but he feels like he can’t tell you any of this

Of course he’s supportive of you, but he can’t help the empty feeling growing in him whenever you excitedly talk about how amazing a particular mission went

How yellow revealed a new ability when in battle

For him, it feels like everyone is moving on while he’s stuck in the past

Lance

Lance wouldn’t want to believe that you had a stronger bond with blue

What originally was him showing off his lion turned into you becoming the new paladin of the blue lion

This dude is in DENIAL

if he’s flying blue or red, this dude would still not believe he got dumped twice

When he tires flying blue and it doesn’t turn on like in that one episode, he is absolutely devestated

And it makes you feel really bad in the beginning😭 he doesn’t make you feel bad about ‘taking’ blue from him, but anyone can see how it affected Lance

It gets to a point where neither of you fly blue, so when voltron is absolutely needed during battle

Lance has to hype you up

Even if he’s still sad and upset about no longer being the blue lions paladin, in this moment, Lance is literally the only one who can encourage his s/o to fly the lion

Like he would lowkey be emotional, but him encouraging you to fly blue is like his final goodbye

Not in a forever type of way but goodbye to the paladin stage of his life😭💔

Lance tries not to let his mood affect your learning curve when flying blue

It’s still a touchy subject for him, but he always manages to smile and congratulate you with any new progress you make

He always asks how blue is, if there’s anything you need help with. And as much as you understand and feel for your boyfriend, it gets to a point where it feels like he’s too concerned for the lion

With all the extra time he has in the castle, I feel Like Lance goes through this existential crisis😔

Was he just a place holder for the blue lion until you came along? Did he even belong in the team anymore now that he was essentially useless to everyone? Did anyone even notice his absence in the group? Did he even matter to them?

He doesn’t fly a lion now, he doesn’t know how to work any of the Altean tech. His bayard was now yours. The most he added to the group was small comments here and there during debriefing meetings

I think this would put a strain in y’all’s relationship lowkey

It feels like Lance is pulling away from you and you can’t do anything but watch as he walks further away from you

I think he might even consider asking Allura to send him home, back to Earth

Yeah Lance would REALLY go through some stuff if his s/o would take over as the blue lions paladin😔

Keith

I feel like put everyone, depending on which lion Keith is currently piloting, he’d mostly be pretty ok with it

If he were still piloting the red lion, I think Keith would be more aggressive to his s/o, always pushing them to train longer and nitpick at their flying😭

He’s not used to watching from the sidelines, so he’s lowkey trying to fly red through you (like come on bro)

BUTTT

If he were piloting the black lion and it so happened to choose you as it’s new pilot, he’s immediately stepping down as leader of the group for you

I feel like he would try convincing himself that he’s doing it for you because there’s obviously a reason why you were chosen

But deep down inside, he’s just using that as an excuse to get away from that stressful role

We all know how Keith was when he first began as the leader of voltron and even when he was a part of the blade of marmora

He would be the most relieved and ok one out of everyone if you were chosen to fly his lion

But because he would step down from this role so quickly and spend most of his time with the Blades, this would leave you in a very frazzled state

Like you thought your boyfriend was gonna show you the ropes of flying the black lion

Teach you how to tune in with it, get better at flying general

But now you’re just struggling to lead the team as the new leader, feeling confused and stressed the longer you fly the black lion

And Keith wouldn’t even know because of how often he’s out on missions with the blades💔

This puts a BIG strain on your guys relationship, something that Keith is once again clueless on

Pidge

Like lowkey, i have no idea how Pidge would react to you being the green lions new, chosen pilot💀

I think at first she would believe it’s a joke but once she realizes that only you can pilot the green lion

She kinda just zones out

Pidges world freezes since she’s technically been replaced by her s/o

She knows she should be happy for you, excited that you get to experience what she has with flying the lion but she just can’t

She would probably feel like she lost her important purpose in life

Y’all remember when Pidge had that flashback of her father telling her she was gonna be apart of something amazing? Something that everyone would step back and admire?

Yeah, that memory flashes through her mind

I think she would feel like she lost something so important, and she kinda did. She’s no longer apart of the group bringing change to the entire galaxy, and she’s suddenly back to square one

She’s back to just being a normal person who so happens to be traveling with Voltron

Pidge would give her s/o the cold shoulder for a while, and not even realize it😔💔

But the positive thing to come out of this situation is that she’d be able to focus of creating and building new tech

It would be a comfort thing she would retreat to if she gets sad remembering she’s no longer the green lions paladin

Shiro

We’ve already seen Shiro get replaced by Keith, so I’m like pretty sure it would be the same deal with his s/o😭

It’s a complete shock when the black lion responds to you, like no one was expecting it

Everyone was so used to having Shiro lead them and be the leader of Voltron that it’s hard to maintain that same energy when you become the new paladin

Shiro would have mixed feelings about the situation

He’s gotten so used to being on top of things and leading with confidence

But now that you’re the new paladin and leader, Shiro’s forced to sit back and watch from the sidelines

It lowkey makes him a little anxious now that he can’t be with the team whenever on missions

You already know this man is gonna be constantly looking over your shoulder😭 as much as he wants you to grow and learn to become a leader, he can’t help butting in from time to time to try and lead the team

And at first you’re ok with it cuz!! You’re HELLA nervous being the black paladin, so having your boyfriend ‘guide’ you is such a reliever

But when you actually try to make plans and be Voltrons leader, Shiro is always there trying to speak over you

It’s like when him and Keith were getting used to the change in paladins for the black lion

It becomes a problem when you both start butting heads and lowkey arguing in front of the group whenever having mini meetings

Shiro unfortunately can’t sit by idle, he still feels likes it’s his responsibility to lead everyone even though he’s no longer flying the lion

And you respect that, you really do! But having someone constantly doubt your own decisions really does have a negative effect on your relationship

This would also cause the team to kinda choose sides

Some might trust you, others might trust Shiros judgement better

This really does put a strain on everyone, should they listen to the ex paladin who led them for so long or put their trust in the new lions paladin?

I think he would also lowkey try to reconnect with the black lion😭 he feels guilty about it but he just wanted to see

Wanted to see if this was how things were going to be from now on
