OKAY LISTEN
I couldn’t stop thinking about role-swap / age-swap AU, but I also was like, what would these guys look like as humans? So… this edit happened. Blaytz and Trigel were actually the most difficult? Trigel doesn’t look quite right. I went back and forth between blond and dark for Blaytz’s hair for A LONG TIME.

New headcanon:
Zarkon is the original Space Dad.
Really, that’s only to say that he’s the constantly exasperated “Dad” of Blaytz and Alfor, particularly Alfor. If you organise all of them as a family, Alfor is the baby of the family and probably always needs a babysitter if they want to guarantee he won’t die. Blaytz is the cool older brother who is also a bit of a disaster. Trigel is basically Space Mom, but she doesn’t so much as work with Zarkon to parent the two youngest as parent all three of them. Gyrgan is the cool Space Granddad, even if he’d really resent that because, as he insists, he’s not that old. He’s super snarky, too, but he keeps an eye on all of them if he can.
And, of course, Coran is still there and basically part of the family, but instead of the cool Space Uncle he is to the modern paladins, he’s basically Alfor’s equally disastrous twin.
New headcanon:
Gyrgan made sure to acknowledge each of the paladins’ (and Coran’s) birthdays. In other words, he made a very big deal about it and made their favourite foods and sometimes organised surprise celebrations (even if Zarkon had reacted kind of violently once or twice and Trigel startled so badly the first time that they didn’t see her for a quintant). They all appreciated it, even if some (read: Zarkon) were bad at showing it.
