Vld Headcanons - Tumblr Posts

It's very important to me that the castle of lions has a conversation pit

Heyyy can you please do Keith Kogane x a reader who is a space princess?? I love your work btw!!

Keith Falls for a Space Princess Headcanons

Thank you so much, I’m so happy you enjoy my writing!!! I hope you don’t mind that I did headcanons💔 I found this so cute bro I CANT 😭

Also I got another request similar to this one so I’ll debate if I’ll write a different scenario or not!!

Keith’s first impression of you wasn’t anything too extraordinary

Lowkey believed that you would just be another person they rescued from the Galra💀

But once finding out that you were a space princess like Allura, coming from a long line of ancient alchemists and sorcerers, it really peaks his interests

Depending on if you meet before he finds out he’s part Galra or after, that’ll start off the relationship

If we’re talking before, it would be a relatively chill introduction

Being a space princess often gathers you a lot of recognition but Keith captures your attention because of his lack of interest

While you’re used to many treating you with high respect, Keith just treats you normally, with the same tough attitude he has with everyone!

He basically treats you like a normal person, something you haven't felt in a loonnngg time💔

But if it's after he finds out he's part Galra and reveals it, then things would be REALLY tense, on your end at least...

The Galra have made you and countless others suffer for centuries, so knowing one of the paladins of Voltron, who are working to rid of the Galra Empire, is galran himself 😶

Yeah you're especially tense around Keith, untrusting toward him which bothers him for some reason

BUT MOVING ON

Of course, your own curiosity toward the boy ultimately leads you to spending more time with him

At first, he might find your lingering presence somewhat annoying since he isn't used to someone giving him all this extra attention

Always asking him questions during his training, sticking with him when out on missions

At one point, Keith gets used to your presence, a sense of normalcy falling between the two of you quickly as the weeks pass quickly

He opens himself up to you slowly, giving pieces of himself and his life to you while you do the same :D

He'll give you slivers of what his life was like on Earth while you share your own stories of life on your planet

He learns more about your culture, your duties as a princess, and even the history of your ancestors (something which you take pride in)

Because of the amount of time spent together, you guys grow close with every new mission and planet Voltron visits

And with this, this means that Keith begins to grow kinda protective of you?

LIKE LISTEN

He starts caring for you as time passes and he doesn't know exactly when things have been changing between the two of you??

He doesn't know when he began staring at you more often, he doesn't know when he began anticipating your arrival every morning, and he ESPECIALLY doesn't know when his heart began fluttering at the mere sight of you

Maybe it was the elegance that seemed to permanently stick to you after years of being in a royal court

Or maybe it was your constant nagging whenever he was around, sneaking past the walls he built around his heart

Or perhaps it was the caring hand you placed on his shoulder whenever his emotions got the best of him

He would totally go to Coran about possibly courting you because why not LMAO

Coran knows how princesses are supposed to be courted (hopefully), Keith just wants to impress you the best he can and fully believes only Coran holds the secret

So you’re just witnessing him falling over his own feet trying to approach you with uptight mannerisms while Coran watches his every move from afar

“For you my, uh, lady?” *holds out flower*

Cue Coran whispering loudly, “Good, good!”

Despite how endearing it is to see Keith try and keep up with the traditional courting, you have to reassure him that you don’t mind that he isn’t apart some royal family (he’s lowkey insecure that you might prefer someone with a similar background as you)💔💔

You like him for him, not caring for his status at all

With that, you both have a good flowing relationship, his intense personality softening with your own pleasant personality

He learns to control his emotions because of you while you learn to show more of your own because of him!!

You also show him the sort of sorcery you’re able to do, having learned from a young age to harness the power that resided into, which he finds SUPER cool and kinda confusing

He’s trying his best to understand😔

He still sometimes feels like he isn’t enough for you though so please PLEASE make sure to tell him other wise😭🙏🙏🙏

He holds you in a high regard because of your status as a princess, he makes sure to tell anyone he comes across that so they treat with respect😭😭

You’re lowkey embarrassed when he begins bragging about your heritage like bro stop😭

Yeah despite this, he still manages to not associate you with only being a space princess, but an honorary member of Voltron

He’s super soft for you I can’t😭😭

Hey so how do you think the paladins would deal with a crush who is not an idiot and is an amazing friend, but they can’t read the room romantically at all. Completely have to be the one to confess or be kissed or straight up ask on a date. They literally just think someone is being nice or kind and blink cluelessly if someone mentions that was flirting and they’re like “What?!” Even when told, they still don’t pick up on someone’s hints. This kind of conversation probably happened with crush: “Oh yea, I know I’m clueless. Someone could slap me to tell me they liked me and I still wouldn’t get it”. If one of the paladins does slap or nudge crush right after this, crush is like “ow! What was that for?” And it doesn’t click for them what just happened?

Paladins with a Clueless Reader

I haven’t gotten a voltron ask in a hot MINUTE‼️ I love clueless!reader😻 make them work for reader teehee

These are a bit more calmer, so hopefully you’ll enjoy this😔💔 not proofread

Keith

Yo don’t do this to him😭😭

Like Keith already has such a hard time expressing his feelings, but if you can’t catch onto his small advances he’d be so embarrassed 😭💔💔💔

Keith is the type to be lowkey when asking someone out but if you unknowingly kinda reject it, he would feel awkward afterwards

Someone has to tell him that you’re hella oblivious or he might lowkey think you don’t like him the same way he likes you

So most likely in this situation, Keith is gonna tell you straight up if you don’t get his small hints

Super bold, like he’ll take your hand in his type of bold

And while it may fluster you, you’ll probably be like ‘oh he probably doesn’t want me going too far or something :D so nice!’

Like this is how it’ll go

“I like you. More than friends.”

“Best friends-!”

“NO, not best friends 😓 I Like you more than a friend. lovers kind of like.”

Yeah Keith is gonna be super upfront about it if you don’t catch on the first few days, he can’t stand how you can’t read his romantic intentions😭

Lance

Lance genuinely thinks he’s being so smooth and suave when he makes his moves on you-

Fully believes he’s got you locked in until you say something like ‘wow you’re getting better with your pick up lines, bro.’

Bro is what took him out LMAO

You bruised his pride a little bit but he’s way more determined to get you to realize his feelings for you

But it’s super hard when you always think he’s being really nice to you😭😭

It gets to the point where the other paladins are making bets on how long it takes you before you realize Lance likes you

After some time he would definitely get frustrated with you and just blurt it out loud while on a mission or something

“I LIKE YOU Y/N! AND NOT IN A FRIEND WAY.”

“… huh?”

*cue small groan*

Like you can’t believe you’re hearing this, nobody has like liked you before

While it flustered you that Lance always flirted with you, you thought it was cuz he was just practicing💔

He would repeat it with so much sincerity that you FINALLY catch onto what he’s trying to say

It may have taken a couple of minutes for you to fully grasp that he liked you romantically, but your super ecstatic when you realize

“Oh! Aw man Lance, you should’ve told me sooner!”

“I-“

Pidge

Ok look

She’s oblivious to her own feelings for you for a little while💀

When you leaned a smidge to close to her face though when looking over data on her small screen, Pidge had a mini heart attack

Like she’s red all over the face while you’re questioning her on why she looks like a tomato

All while you’re still so close

I feel like Pidge thinks you’re aware of her attraction towards you with how flustered she gets when you hold her hand and how she stutters a little when you two are alone

But you thinks she’s just a shy person!

“Sorry y/n, you just make me a little nervous. A good nervous!”

“Awwww Pidge! It’s ok, I’m your friend! You don’t need to be nervous around me. As my friend, I think I should make sure you’re more comfortable around me!

Double homicide on her end💀

It gets to a point where Pidge can’t function correctly whenever you’re around so she thinks confessing her feelings for you will make her feel better

So she gets help from hunk to set up this romantic confession date for you, just to be the nail in the coffin

While you think it’s for someone else when you arrive, Pidge reassures you that it’s all for you

It warms your heart knowing she spent her time doing this for you, seeing the small paper hearts strung around the room making you slightly blush

She’s way more confident in telling you her feelings, explaining everything, from how you make her nervous to her romantic interest in you

You get the message and bear hug her, explaining how you thought she was scared of you

You guys then eat the small sandwiches prepared for you by Hunk :DD

Hunk

He doesn’t realize you don’t know his obvious crush on him

Hunk thinks he’s being super obvious with how he badly flirts with you, or makes you a spectacular meals compared to the others

Or how he always offers himself to be your partner during split missions, or even the way he looks at you with such a SOFT LOOK

LIKE THIS DUDE CANT BE MORE OBVIOUS WITH HIS CRUSH

But you don’t even notice😭😭😭😭

Shiro would offhandedly mention how sweet Hunks crush on you is and you’re like what😀 crush??

You’ve seen how nice Hunk is to other people for as long as you’ve known him, so you just think that’s what he’s doing with you

You never fail to let him know how much you appreciate everything he does for you tho

And he’s internally screaming at himself to make a move before you friendzone him one more time

After a push from Lance, Hunk has the courage to ask you out

But you just smile at him and say you guys can hang out whenever! A big smile and everything

And he’s about to take it, friend zone and all, until Lance glares at him from the distance

He has a lot of patience when he’s explaining what he really meant. So while you’re trying to wrap your head around how Hunk likes you, he’s just all red in the face

When it clicks in your head that omg hunk LIKES YOU

You immediately tell him that you like him too!!!! You just didn’t want to take his actions the wrong way 💔💔

Shiro

He finds it cute at first when you don’t realize his subtle flirting

Until after some time he realizes you’re not getting any of his hints with his flirting💀

Like you’d be super close to him, always being there for him whenever he’s going through it

But you literally cannot see the signs of him liking you more than a friend😭

The lingering hand on your shoulder doesn’t ring a bell in your head at all

I feel like he mostly uses his words to try and nudge you to see his feelings for you

Says some shit like “im really glad to have you by my side, y/n. You really know me like no one else does :)”

And because he’s such a cool person, you can’t fathom someone like him having the slightest crush on you

So you just accept it as a platonic situation, ignoring the way your heart aches as you say “well that’s what friends are for😁”

I feel like Shiro would just take you aside and tell you straight up

While he does find it adorable on how oblivious you are to his attempts, my guy is actually starting to get nervous about you not liking him the same way

“You mean you like me? I like you too Shiro! You’re one of my best friends!”

“I like you more than just best friends though. I want to be more than just best friends.”

He would 100% tell you of all the times he tried making his move on you

And it makes you feel so BAD cuz this man has been trying for WEEKS to get you to notice LMAO

Bro finally can rest easy now that you’ve accepted his feelings💀💀💀

Allura

We all know Allura is a little nervous when it comes to relationships and being around people she likes

While she doesn’t exactly flirt with you, Allura pays special attention to you

She spends her time around you, she likes how warm and soft you make her feel

Allura give you small gifts and trinkets, each being accompanied with a small note on how it reminded her of you

She doesn’t do this with ANYONE, so it surprises her how you believe the somewhat romantic gesture is only a friendly gift

She stumbles across you when she hears you talking to Keith and Hunk saying “if someone liked me, I would NOT be able to tell. If someone flirts with me, I wouldn’t know until the next day. It just goes over my head :(“

So Alura makes it her goal to make bolder moves with you, as much as it makes her nervous

You definitely notice how she’s begun taking your hand in hers, complimenting you way more often.

You laugh it off as her being really friendly with you, despite Pidge telling you otherwise

“Allura’s obviously flirting with you.”

“Whaaatt? Nooo, she’s just naturally like that.”

“…are you joking rn?”

It would be out of the blue when Allura confesses her feelings

It surprises the HELL out of you when she takes your hands in hers and looks you straight in the eyes, saying everything she’s been feeling lately

You try to make sense of it, saying how you thought she was just being nice

Omg like she’s the ultimate flirty machine now that you know her feelings for you

You’re all embarrassed with how you acted like it was a normal thing for Allura to be as close as she was with you😭😭😭

While Allura is used to being straightforward with people, she doesn’t mind nudging you in the right direction at times when it comes to reading the room🙈🙈

Paladins Reaction to You being Part Galra Headcanons

So I read a request wrong and began writing these headcanons, BUT I’m not gonna delete them cuz haha😀‼️‼️

I decided to only write Allura, Shiro, and Hunk, just to get this out of my drafts

Allura

Starting off strong, Allura will 100 percent feel conflicted

She had gotten to know you and like you for who you are

But to find out that you’re also part galra? You’re part of the race that destroyed her planet, her home, her family? It’s just too much for her to handle

She kinda feel betrayed even though you technically haven’t wronged her by any means

Much like how she reacted with Keith, Allura would distance herself from you and just shut herself out whenever you’re around

You of course are hurt by this

You guys had gotten so close to each other and now she’s shutting you out because you’re part galra?

After everything you’ve guys have been through, battles, near death experiences, petty arguments, and this is why she’s blocking you out?

Treating you like a stranger?

Sure to some extent you understand why she’s so distant, but you had no part in what happened to her in the past

Allura needs to away from you to just think

She knows that you haven’t done anything wrong but she still has some deep rooted grudges against the Galra

Honestly time will be the only thing that can save your relationship💔

At one point, she just looks at. Like really looks at you

She realizes that despite finding out you’re part Galra, you’re still the same Y/N

Nothing about you has really changed my scepter learning this new information

It happens randomly but Allura will pull you aside and apologize

Idk, for me I feel like she would have a hard time apologizing since she’s so used having a strong personality, but with you, she can’t help but let down her walls again

Of course it’ll take some used to getting back in the motions you guys once had, but this will definitely bring you guys even closer than before :D

So while she accepts you’re part Galra, Allura mostly focuses on you as a person!

Shiro

It surprises Shiro but not that much if I’m being honest💀

Even before finding out he was part Galra, Shiro had always noticed how different Keith was from those around, which he immediately noticed was the same with you

Bro thought it was a coincidence that you both just so happened to have your extremely fast reflexes and advanced strength (this dude💀)

After Keith is revealed to be part Galra though, Shiro begins suspecting that you might be as well

There was just too many similarities and traits you both shared that the others may not have noticed

He doesn’t really ask you though because he doesn’t wanna put you on the spot

There could also be a reason why you haven’t said anything too!!

And Shiro’s intuition is right!

Soon after Keith finds out he’s part Galra and begins feeling excluded because of Allura, you reveal that you’re the same (look at you being supportive💔)

Bro applauds you because that must’ve taken a lot of guts

And when you look to him with a look of uncertainty, he only smiles at you

This dude doesn’t let the bad reputation of Galra’s affect his perspective of you

So while everyone is shocked at the information, he could only praise you for owning yourself with confidence

He might even let it slip out to you that he had his suspicions on you being part galra, smiling while you grumble out how you weren’t that obvious

UGH I LOVE THIS MAN SM💔💔💔

Hunk

His first instinct is to question who in your family gave you the Galran genes💀

“Oh cool! Real question is who was Galra. Was it your grandma? Grandpa? Mom? Wait wait, your great grandpa??”

Yeah this dude is SUPER supportive no matter what anyone says

Like come on guys we’ve all seen how protective Hunk is with his friends! He would totally have your back if anyone tries to bring you down because of your galra genes

If you grew up with Galran accustoms, Hunk would 100 percent ask you about them all

He’s just so interested on this new side you’ve revealed about yourself, it feels like he’s meeting you again for the first time!!

And because you’re from a whole different culture he knows nothing about, he’s willing to learn EVERYTHING

If you appear more human, Hunk will ask if you always knew you were part Galra, or if you found out in space like Keith did

But if you posses more Galran features, he’ll question what kind of human traits you have since your Galra genes are so strong

Like you’re literally the most interesting person he knows

He definitely tries cooking you traditional Galran dishes

Gets defensive of you if Allura gives you a nasty attitude after finding out your part Galra

Like bro is ready to GO OFF when it comes to you

He doesn’t want you feeling like your lesser than them just because of your heritage

Hunk will be your number one supporter no matter what people say about you and your people

He knows some Galra could be good, you and Keith being examples on his hope for change in the future😭😭

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

may i request an Altean!reader (possibly fem) who is also a bodyguard? Im thinking about if King Alfor put them in a pod too to help protect Princess Allura once she came out. im mostly thinking of the princess x bodyguard trope 🤭 but the reader x other paladins are fine too! i can't exactly remember, but i don't think they trained them to fight at the garrison. I think it would be nice if reader helped them at the start with their stances and such.

ty for reading this, regardless of if you get to it ^-^

Being Allura’s Bodyguard Headcanons

I LOVE THIS IDEA😻😻😻 IMMA MAKE THIS A FEM!READER CUZ IM A SUCKER FOR FEMALE GUARDS 🤪🤪 this feels all over the place BUT IGNORE IT

This feels a little weird though, let me know if I did you justice🤨💔

OH MY GOSH BODYGUARD READER???

UM YES PLEASE

If you were put to sleep with Allura and Coran, that means Alfor REALLY trusted reader

You probably trained to be Allura’s guard specifically as you both grew up

So that means you were around each a lot as children and teens

I think reader might be a year or two older than Allura, so in a way you grew to be protective of the younger girl, naturally

She was always able to confide in you no matter what, whether it was about a problem that bothered her or complaining about her potential suitors

I think because y’all spent so much time together, a little crush might form between yall

But being her bodyguard, you knew you had a duty to uphold and couldn’t let silly feelings get in the way of that (much to her dismay)

You would always playfully roll your eyes whenever she tried using a pickup line on you

When you guys wake up from the pods, despite your drowsiness, you’re immediately at Allura’s side, pushing away the weird creature with round ears from her

Like your sword is drawn out and pointed to Lance, ready to attack if the group in front of you poses themselves as a threat

Yeah, the group decides that it’s best to take several steps away from you LMAO

You’re always by Allura’s side no matter what, the princess being your main priority

You’re kinda like her shadow, always standing guard, waiting for the unexpected

I think reader would begin falling hard for the Allura (much to her delight) when she saves her from a life or death situation

The whole point of being her bodyguard was to protect her, but seeing how she risked her own life to drag you to safety made your heart flutter

Like no one had ever done that for you😭

You were taught and trained to fight for yourself, trained to protect others

So Allura being the one protecting you led you down in a spiral

And it’s a QUICK spiral, may I add

You begin seeing the princess in a different light

The way not a single hair moves from its placement when she’s fighting, whether it be training or when out on a mission, entranced you

You admired the way she demanded attention with just her presence alone

And Allura notices these changes AHH

Like this girl is internally screaming when you gently take her hand when you’re trying to bring her away from any danger

I like to think Allura would be flirty with her bodyguard lowkey

They’re used to each other from the years of being together so this isn’t an odd occurrence

But things do change when you begin turning pink whenever she uses her dumb pickup lines

It’s gotten to a point where the princess was able to beat you in a duel for the first time when she randomly blurted one out

(You claimed that you were feeling a little sick that day lol)

Even despite the fun flirting and knowing looks shared between you two, you would still be hesitant to start an actual relationship with Allura

You have so much respect for the passed King Alfor that you want to continue being the bodyguard for his daughter

You feel like you might be betraying his trust if you start pursuing his daughter

Coran would tell you to go for though if you talk to him about it

He knew Alfor best, so hearing him say that the king would want you and Allura to be happy, you immediately go to the princess

You confess and she’s just jumping on you in pure joy cuz FINALLY

The rest is HISTORY as you guys finally pursue each other AHHH

You’re a much more gentler bodyguard, you’re less tense when out of the castle and honestly just enjoying every moment with Allura

Instead of protecting Allura, you both fight along side each other

The respect you guys have for the other is just so UGH!!! If Allura wants to fight her own battles, you watch from a close distance

Honestly you guys make each other better I can’t even

And because you’re less intense now that you’re with Allura, you treat the team with much more patience

Since they had no idea how to fight at first (most of them at least), you offer to train them

Altean style😍

They wouldn’t take you seriously at first, except Shiro, until you bodyslam Keith to the ground when he gets too cocky with his attacks

After that, they take training very seriously LMAO

You taught Shiro and Keith how to fight efficiently when in close range, showing them fighting techniques that they could also use if they don’t have their weapons

You teach Hunk and Lance how to properly use their guns, showing them the right positions to hold their weapons as to not injure themselves

And with Pidge, you show her how to use her weapon in general because of how unique it is compared to the others weapons

They grow to become strong fighters, you may even shed a tear, happy you were able to help them

You’re still able to demolish them even after everything you all have been through though

Every now and then you guys hold a tournament to see whose the best fighter, you still winning most of the times

Except when you go against Lance for some reason, he’s a slippery one you need to keep an eye on💀

You grow to care for everyone in your own way, vowing to protect them when if it ever came down to it

Being Allura’s bodyguard is honestly a very rewarding duty

She appreciates everything you do and risk to keep her safe, and she promises to do the same for you

I also think you’re the voice of reason for her cuz y’all remember when they went through that dimension jumping portal? And how Allura believed those Alteans were the same ones she knew

You would be there to let her down gently, even comforting her after that entire ordeal happens

You’re her rock, being an emotional support for the princess whenever she needs it

Out of the entire team, I’m like 99% sure that bodyguard!reader is the greenest flag out of everyone

Allura won the lottery honest, her bodyguard being her lover😫😫😫‼️‼️

You’re always by her side, through thick and thin, no matter what happens to you guys

Loyalty is literally your middle name heehee

Hii, I hope you are having a good day or night! I've recently read your platonic yandere voltron things. And I was wondering if you would make some more headcanons? Or stories with platonic yandere? Here are some ideas you could write either a few headcanons or a story about, for if you have low inspiration. Kidnapped reader with platonic yandere voltron, maybe by an alien species who wanted to help the reader? How would the team react? What would they do? Or maybe the reader get really sick which isn't easily cured cue the panic from the team? Again, just so you know I really like your work! So keep up the good work, and thank you for making your works in the first place! Take good care of yourself, and stay hydrated!

Yandere Voltron’s Reaction to Reader being Taken

O M G DONT EVEN PLAY WITH ME RNNNN!!!! I absolutely LOVE yandere voltron like they’re so fun to write for🤞😜 I love the idea of the group just going crazy if reader were to escape UGHH

tysm pookie, take care of yourself too and ENJOY THIISSSS

OK YOU JUST SPURRED IDEAS INTO MY HEAD

I can already imagine the group going crazy when reader suddenly gets swept up right from their grasp out of nowhere by some random spaceship

I know you said some kind of an alien species taking reader but hear me out

It’s LOTOR AND HIS LITTLE GROUPIES OOOOO

It’s painfully obvious that you’re the real star in voltron seeing as how possessive and protective they are of you, hiding you away whenever danger is nearby

So it only makes sense to Lotor to just kidnap you as leverage for his plans

Little did he know that you would be THANKING him for taking you away from the group lmao😭

Imagine your tied up and homeboys getting ready to explain his super mastermind plan to you when all of a sudden you start rambling about how good it feels to be away from them

“Nothing personal, you were the only thing holding that sad excuse of a team together, so I needed you out of the picture for now.” Cue smirk

“UGH THANK GOD! I was literally starting to lose my mind in there, you have no IDEA how needy they all are.”

Now cue a dumbfounded Lotor

He was not expecting reader to be so relaxed considering how he just snatched you up out of nowhere

You’re just chilling while looking around his ship, maybe making conversation with his generals

You finally get a break from the constant attention and possessiveness, ANYTHING is better than being around the group

While you’re happily talking your voice away with Lotor a group, everyone in the castle is freaking the fuck out

It’s bad enough that they let you slip away from their grasp, it’s worse knowing it was Lotor who took you away💀

We all know how Lance feels about Lotor so I think he would have one of the more extreme reactions to you being taken away

Probably starts pointing fingers and starts blaming everyone for not being able to keep you safe

Lowkey begins targeting Keith because it’s somehow always his fault when something goes wrong💀💀

Lance might even starting crying and wailing out for you with Hunk when the situation finally hits him

Keith is also another one to have a more violent outburst during and after your disappearance

He’s someone I see with strong emotions that he doesn’t know how to handle yet so we already know how he might act

Agitated? Yes. Scared? For you, yeah. Furious? Oh honey absolutely.

Keith might have almost caught you too, but he didn’t. He’s so angry with everything and mostly himself that’s he’s pushing everyone else’s buttons, trying to convince the group that the only right choice is immediately going after you

He’s too anxious now that you’re not in his line of sight, making him kinda desperate to get you back again

Hear me out but I think the calmest ones would PROBABLY be Shiro and Pidge

Now I’m not saying that they’re CALM but they have the nerves mostly in tact

They’re already trying to locate where you are with the secret tracker that have on you so it doesn’t really benefit them to try and blame someone for what happened to you

Pidge’s hands shake while she’s working her whizz tho. She has to type, erase, and retype every now and then because of how nervous and anxious she is

She’s so used to having you around that now her brain can’t function properly without you

She doesn’t want to lose you like how she lost her brother and father so Pidge is trying her best to have a one track mind

Shiro on the other hand is more level headed

He really does try to calm the group down as best as he could but with Lance and Hunk crying, Keith yelling at them to get up and do something, Pidge taking a long time to track you down, and Allura and Coran seemingly in an entire different universe, he can’t help but feel the pressure of this disaster falling on his shoulders

This man is ready to just end Lotor when they find him like I’m not even joking

Everyone is getting on this man’s nerves and knowing that you’re trapped with Voltrons enemy doesn’t really make him feel any better

Hunk might even strike fear into Shiro while he’s babbling on about if you’re hurt or not, if they’re torturing you to get any information out of you etc

Poor Hunk is a flood gate at this point. One moment you’re right next to him and the next you’re not

He’s having a complete meltdown in a corner, maybe trying to comfort himself with a small picture of a selfie you both took together

This dude is already imagining all these terrible scenarios you could possibly be in which makes him feel even more terrible

Quite literally feels like he’s gonna throw up now when he begins thinking about how he’ll never see you again

Allura and Coran are surprising quite and calm during all this

They’d keep to themselves but know that they’re going through some extreme inner turmoil

It’s kind of like Allura disconnected herself from the world ever since you’ve been taken

Her skin itches to run out and grab a pod to find you herself but she knows it’s a brash idea

The only thing she does is mull over the idea of making Lotor regret messing with Voltron

BUT TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORTT

They are willing to do anything to get you back, not caring for the description they’ll leave along the way

The longer your gone the less control and stability they’ll have as a group

Desperate and irrational are some words to describe them during your being away from them

They will stop at nothing to have you back with them, some more destructive and violent than others

No one holds back when getting you back from Lotor, leaving his ships wrecked and forcing him to put his plans on pause as he recovers

Who knows, maybe him and his group might’ve grown similar possessive feelings towards you as well with the time you spent with them? HMMMM

Hii, sorry if you aren't willing to write for Voltron anymore. But I discovered your blog cause of the name, so I thought why not try? So here is one of my yandere ideas.

Yandere Voltron with isekaid reader? Basically, the reader was from real life, till they died. Either by truck-chan, or to a disease. But given their life was already very shitty, they didn't really care much. At least. Till the reader wakes up in their favorite show. Not as a main protagonist, or not even as a side character in one of the many episodes. Nah, the reader simply wakes up as an unknown character on some random planet. A planet that hasn't isn't a part of the Garla Empire, and reader paln to kept it that way. Eventually, Voltron starts to get on the move, and main characters meet reader. Except, reader doesn't really realized that they are now the main character of the story. So despite, being very perceptive of everyone and everything, they some how don't know that the characters are becoming yandere. One by one.

Again, sorry if you don't write about Voltron anymore, if you want you can ignore this completely. I just thought you might want to hear the idea. Don't let the Karens bite you, fight them off with the power of the shows you like if needed, and remember to take care.

Yandere Voltron with Isekaid!Reader

OMG STOOOPPPP I LOVE THIS SMMM!!!! AND THIS BEING A YANDERE ASK?? It's like all those batfam fics i read, i'm so happy you thought of this. I will always write for voltron, don't worry pookie

This might be long, hope you enjoy😅

A series of very much unfortunate events, readers life goes from crap to ok to crap again. Readers death was very short and brief on their end. In your world, Voltron was just a silly little show that you watched to get away from reality, a show you loved so dearly. So never did you imagine to be isakei'd into that same very world.

I like to think this was caused due to voltron traveling through different dimensions, like that one Altean reality. Kind of like an event that perfectly aligned, readers death and them escaping the reality.

Of course at first reader doesn't know where the HELL they are. Exploring this new place, its not hard to convince yourself you miraculously made it to heaven with how beautiful everything was. But it isn't long until they find the residents of this strange world. You live a good and easy life the weeks after your arrival as the townspeople openly accepted you into their world.

Reader has many similarities to these aliens, yet its very obvious that you take on a more humanoid appearance compared to them. Perhaps you share a similar skin tone, like green or blue. Maybe your eyes are the same shade as theirs. Despite this, your physical appearance is more human than alien without a doubt.

Reader only knows they're in the Voltron universe due to how often the townspeople talk about the Galra and Voltron rescuing imprisoned planets. Like I can imagine reader immediately jumping into someone's conversation to get more info, only for them to get weird looks

"Galra? Voltron?! Like from the show?? They're real?"

*Cue confused faces*

"Show? Um, I don't believe they're based off a show. They've been doing a lot of good for the universe!"

Its easy to put two and two together, but have no fear! Reader, being SMARTTT, already knows that they're in the Voltron universe. And if anything happens to the plot causing it to go astray from the og, it'll most likely have devastating consequences, so its a good thing that they're stuck on this unknown planet!

Especially one they don't remember ever being on the show!

Until some divine intervention wrecks that very idea one day with a giant mechanical lion falling from the sky.

You make sure to keep your distance from whatever paladin is staying in the village. It's not hard to do so with how many people lurk the streets to see a paladin of Voltron

But of course nothing ever goes Isekei'd!Reader's way when they bump into the one person they've been avoiding. It's as if time literally stops as they're eyes meet.

DUN DUUNNN! SHIRO! (My mans😍)

He's surprised to see someone almost like him after seeing all the townspeople's appearances. Shiro's seen some pretty wacky looking aliens so its almost like a slap in the face to find someone so human in the village.

Before he can even say anything though, you quite literally run away from him, leaving the black paladin in a state of confusion and curiosity. And since you're running AWAY from him, he figures you probably know the reason why his lion crash landed on this specific planet when it was fine before.

Cue to you trying to outrun him. Emphasis on TRYING. Cuz there's no way you could ever outrun him.

Once he catches you, its safe to say you're now permanently apart of their story. You, however, fail to realize that. It's hard to not reveal everything to the man in front of you, but some things may or may not have slipped out your mouth.

"HELLO STRANGE PALADIN! Welcome to our, um, planet? Uh, if you could get off of me Shiro, that would be amazing cuz I currently am freaking out right now!

"Keith is probably looking for you so get that black cat working and get outta here haha!"

With all of readers rambling and bad avoidance, Shiro can't shake off a growing feeling in him. Was it endearment? Pity, annoyance? Protectiveness? Possessiveness? Shaking the dark thought quickly, the man already knows you know more than what you're letting on.

"How do you know Keith?"

"Ummm we're cousins?" You're internally smacking yourself as the man in front of you raises an eyebrow.

SKIPPING SOME STUFF CUZ THIS IS GETTING A LITTLE LONG SO LETS JUMP TO THE YANDERE SHITTTTT😝😝

Being introduced to the team, they all seem to be drawn to you. Like there's some invisible force dragging them to your very being. It's sort of like an inner battle for them, allow themselves to get dragged into whatever this is willingly, or fight against it and fall harder into it.

Reader is kind of their unofficial prisoner, but not really a prisoner? So while it is very cool to meet some of their comfort characters, they accept the fact that they are now living in their world. They have no idea what the others are feeling or thinking, so they're kind of on their own from now on.

Some paladins I think that would willingly allow this divine obsession take place in their hearts are Shiro, Lance, and Allura.

Shiro was the first to find them, so it only makes sense that his obsession would take place first. He would mistake this new feeling as a need to protect. If reader is younger than him, then get used to being treated like a child. He doesn't mean to coddle you, but with how you seem to have ZERO survival skills and an air of childlike amazement at everything, he can't help but want to keep that to himself.

Lance is an easy going person, and very open to meeting new people. He's the easiest to fall into his yandere tendencies. He's basically a puppy whenever reader is around. He doesn't see anything wrong with his feelings ignoring how twisted they get the longer he's around them. You capture his attention as you don't necessarily push his overbearingness away like he's used to with everyone is. It's not like you can with how he's practically glued himself to your side.

Allura is a bit more on the umm condescending side? I don't want to say condescending, but she does feel like she has to help you learn space life. She enjoys teaching you about the ship and her planets history, of all the planets they've visited. Allura might actually see herself above you as she believes she holds more experience and knowledge of the universe than you do due to your previously mentioned childlike amazement. I think she might even see herself as your teacher, a master, and you her student. Little does she know that you are much familiar with the things she speaks of.

Now for the paladins that would be hesitant in the growing obsession, Hunk, Pidge and Keith.

Hunk is naturally a wary person when it comes to new people. Especially if he feels the vibes are off. I mean, here comes in a new person on the team that happens to know a little bit too much about them, about him! Like how do you know his name before meeting him? He's hesitant on being near you but seeing how kind you are to Lance of all people causes his a rift in his feelings. Maybe you aren't a bad person after all? He'd start growing a bit more protective of you each day the longer you guys hangout. Is this a good thing or a bad thing; only time will tell.

Pidge is standoffish to anyone who seems to know more than what they're letting on. She can tell it on you face when you look at her with a sense of familiarity despite her never having met you. She tries her best to block off the feelings of wanting to get closer to you, to hear you laugh at her jokes the same way you do with Lance and Hunk. There's not much she can do (does she even fight it anymore at this point) when you begin approaching her, mentioning some of her interests to continue talking to her. You seem to know exactly what to say to lower her guard, and she honestly doesn't know how to feel about that.

Keith is a double edged sword tbh. He'd be hesitant to get near you with these unfamiliar feelings flooding him. So he would either awkwardly get used to your prodding or he'd be quite aggressive with your presence. If we're talking about earlier season Keith, than I think he would most likely be the latter. He'd try interrogating you when know one's around. He'd try to get you to admit to something, anything to confirm his growing emotions are of suspicion instead of interest. He's immediately conflicted though once you turn emotionally at his barad of questions and accusations. He apologizes in a quiet voice and leaves, but one things for sure. He never wants you to look at him with the same fear you just did moments before.

Reader is just trying to get the plot to continue because hellooo?? The universe needs saving??

Reader knows EVERYTHING about the show and about the people they are now personally familiar with. However, they fail to realize the dark turn of events their presence brought to the team.

Sure they're acting a little unusual to how they normally would be on the show but it's not that big of a deal, right? Right?

Unrelated, but can you imagine how they would react to finding out reader is from another universe?? Even if you were to reassure them that you wouldn't be able to go back anyways, their paranoia would skyrocket.

If you were to die in their universe the same way you died in your universe, there's a chance that you'll get transported to another world! A world where you'll live without them. A world they'll never be able to reach. A world without them.

That thought alone terrifies them, so that's honestly when the true horror kicks in. BUT THAT'S FOR A DIFFERENT TIME!!!!

Everyone is wary of you at first, but with the strange emotions growing in them, they can't deny that your presence brings them an overwhelming sense of peace.

Their possessiveness will definitely set some alarms in your head but you stay in denial. You don’t want to believe that you may have, irreversibly, changed the Voltron universe.

A big question to think about is if you're gonna regret being isekai'd into this universe because they won't stay sweet for long.

Shiro is a great father-!

Adam: “Takashi, please stop- This is like the 15th time you’ve done this and he keeps falling off the couch-”

Keith is just thrilled to be there.

Just to clarify, I see Shiro as an older brother than a father- I just thought it was funny

Ref:

Don’t make me cry in public please-

KEITH HAS NIGHTMARES!!

Okay, in one of my previous headcanons, Lance got really hurt, right?? (if you don't know what i'm talking about, go read my other stuff).

Okay, so one night, Lance wakes up in the middle of the night, (next to Keith because obviously they share a bed cuz I said so,) to the sound of Keith whimpering and muttering a bunch of incomprehensible stuff, but he's able to make out the sound of his name. It's a constant occurrence, "Lance..." he mutters, and it keeps getting louder, and it's said with more and more fear, "Lance!" and eventually Keith shoots upright in a cold sweat, and Lance is kinda just staring at him with a really worried expression, not knowing what to do.

It takes him a minute to get Keith to calm down, "Shhh, hey, hey, hey, it's okay, I'm here. Talk to me, babe, what's going on?" He asks, it takes him a couple tries, but after a bit, Keith responds with "Don't you ever sacrifice yourself for me again, do you understand?" he says it with a tinge of anger, though mostly fearfulness and worry, "I've lost too much already, I can't lose you, too, Lance." There's an unshakable certainty in his voice, regardless of how much it's shaking.

Lance pulls Keith into his arms, running his fingers through his hair, he plants little kisses all over Keith's face until he finally starts smiling again. They lean their foreheads against each other and Lance is like, cradling Keith's cheek with his hand, you know the thing, and he says in probably the most serious voice Keith has ever heard, "Keith, I swear to you on all the stars we've seen together, I. Am not. Going. Anywhere. I love you far too much to leave you alone, hell, I hardly want to be in a room without you." He takes a minute and sighs, "But you have to understand, in those certain situation, it's your life over mine every time."

Keith looks to the side, upset and a bit defeated.

"But Keith?" Lance pulls their faces a little closer so Keith can feel his breath on his lips, "Even if the worst happens, I want you to know, I'll find you in every lifetime, and I will love every person you become just as I love you now. No matter how many times death takes me away from you or vice-versa, I will always make my way back to you."

Keith smiles and closes the gap between them and they just sit there with each other, it's a bittersweet moment, both knowing that eventually death will take them apart, but also knowing that they have this life, right here and right now, and they treasure it.

(Omg i'm so sorry it's so long my author brain took overrrdgjsfhkjf, I try to make these less like dramatic short stories and more like actual headcanons but i can't help myselfff)

Keith: “For some reason Lance has been way more… clumsy than usual?”

Pidge: “He’s doing it on purpose.”

Keith: “…”

Keith: “Oh, I see”

This is the 4th time he’s “caught” Lance this week.

Lance just wants the attention he deserves :’(

Keith: “He could just ask-”

Ref:

I’m so tired, I need to stop drawing so late into the night…

The question is…

No, this isn’t for a piece I’m working on-

Don’t look at me like that.

HELP OMG THATS HILARIOUS.

I DIDNT EVEN REALIZE THAT 😭😭😭

The funniest part about reading Keith as gay is probably that it would mean that the black lion saw Zarkon misusing Voltron to save his wife and went "great this guy ruined it for everyone, Voltron leadership is a gays only event now" and honestly I respect her so much for that

Lance: Concentrated

Keith: I’m hungry.

Lance: …

Keith: Lanceeee- I’m hungry!

Lance: What do you want?

Keith: Food.

Lance: …

Keith: Laa-

Lance: After this round!!

(He knows how to cook, but just prefers to cook and eat dinner with Lance than alone)

(He’s been alone for way too long)

Ref:

Keith: “fuck off”

Lance: “wasn’t me”

Keith: “kill yourself”

Lance: “wasn’t me!

Keith: “END YOURSELLLLFFF”

Lance: “WASN’T MEEEE”

This is a bit random, but I've had this idea for a Voltron fic in my head for awhile now, and wanted to share it.

So now its...

Explanation time

.

.

.

Baskos (bæskus) ——— originated from the Galra word for poison (Baesus) and the plant's origin (Askad) Baskos literally means – baesus of Askad, which is "poison from/of Askad"

So, Baskos is a poison that specifically affects Galra; it gets them really bad.

Typically, poisons attack immunity components in the body, but Baskos binds with Quintessence, instead of attacking it. This makes it hard to extract, because draining the Baskos directly means draining a being of their quintessence which can kill them.

Galra know that Baskos can kill them, pretty badly, might I add. Thus, like any sentient evolving species would, they immunized themselves. Every Galra gets a Baskos shot not long after they're born and continue to get the shots at four decaphoeb intervals, so, if they encounter Baskos later, it won't kill them, just make them weak and sick.

Baskos also originated from and grew on a dwarf planet called Askad. The Galra typically stayed away from the planet, but when Zarkon began expanding the empire, he destroyed Askad after enemy forces used Baskos against the Galra. The outbreak killed thousands and almost ended the war until the planet was destroyed, which weakened their supply and an antidote was being worked on.

There is no cure but to corrupt the quintessence, which unbinds and kills the Baskos.

Baskos look like mistletoe. The berries are small and shaped a bit like five pointed stars, and the leaves are broad and flat, but it looks much the same.

Baskos has specific conditions under which it could grow, and needed its own planet configured to those conditions. Very hot, but very wet soil. Like a boiling swamp. The air was also heavy in quintessence. The conditions aren't easy to replicate, but they are doable.

With care, Baskos seeds can be grown away from Askad.

Now, to apply this to Keith.

In my headcanon, humans have no natural quintessence. It doesn't hurt them to come in contact with it, but they don't need it to survive.

So, Keith was probably drained of quintessence by his mother so he'd look more human than Galra.

But think of the fight with that Druid back around the end of S1. The druid shot him with purple lightning and I've come to understand that that purple lightning is corrupted quintessence. So he was shot with that and hit a container filled with raw quintessence, before being doused in it. And we saw how it healed him.

The pure quintessence healed the damage done by the corrupted quintessence. So, at that point, Keith has some quintessence in his body. Couple it with the amount of ambient quintessence surrounding them both in and out of the castle and you have a less quintessence drained Keith. It's not enough to Galra him, but it is something.

So, when he encounters Baskos on a planet called Geryon that he goes to answer a distress call on, it wastes no time binding with the quintessence in him, which is greater because of the quintessence heavy atmosphere, and because Keith got doused in the stuff again on the planet.

Geryon has diluted quintessence pools. And Keith fell into one.

Its effects are slowed because he's not pure Galra, but they're still violent. 30 doboshes in and he's feeling weaker. 40 more doboshes and his vision starts to swim. Three Vargas later, we see him feverish and disoriented. A varga later and he's coughing up blood as the Baskos goes for his lungs. Five doboshes later, he's unconscious, breathing with difficulty.

This is all in one quintet!

At this point, his quintessence has bonded with his Galra genes and it is lashing out. He starts going Galra. First, the skin begins to bleed purple like an infection. It takes time, about a full quintet for him to be completely Galra looking, but at the end, Keith has purple skin, fluffy ears and Sharp ™ fangs. The eyes come as needed. The tail develops a quintet later.

Baskos also affects the mind, makes the Galra more base. They get more aggressive and seek to satisfy their immediate needs. This is downplayed in Keith, but gets stronger the longer the Baskos is in his system.

Among these base instincts are:

Aggression

Territoriality

Imprinting

Mating

Predation

Etc...

With the influence of the healing pod and the Baskos shot, called Askadite, the effects of the Baskos are dulled down to very low levels. But this won't last forever. Even at the rate they've managed to slow it down to, the Baskos will kill Keith in a little over 2-3 phoebs.

That's the time limit to find a cure.

Note: I have prepared a list of Altean time terms and their closest human equivalents.
