#voltron paladins
Since I haven’t been online for awhile and therefore not been able to post anything new (other than on my IG which I have started to actually pay attention to and still trying to get the hang of). Since yeah, the internet at home can’t seem to handle tumblr *cries*
Anyway, I just saw the new trailer of Voltron’s Season 2 and I can’t help but feel excited about it.
I’m asking for more background on Zarkon and the Alteans. And of course our lovely paladins. It obvious that there’s gonna be a royal smackdown between Zarkon and Shiro which I’m guessing is going to be about Black Lion and the bayard. Which maybe would explain “Keith if I don’t make it” thing.
What I get from the trailer is that their bonds as teammates and friends would be challenged here. I dunno I just get that feeling, especially with Allura’s “We are always stronger together”. Like they need to be reminded of this. No more taking solo flights. No more I have to do this by myself.
We are Voltron. We are one unit. We are a team. We’re a family.
As for theories on how Zarkon keeps tracking them down, it would either play on the fact that Zarkon was a former Paladin of the Black Lion or maybe that Shiro has a Galra-tech prosthetic arm.
And for that masked new “ally”. Well, they’re obviously Galran based on the skin color.
Do we have a Galran faction in our hands? Maybe? Who knows? But then again maybe Shiro didn’t escape by himself? That he may have a little help? His memories are still a bit jumbled up so he may have forgotten. Hey, I’m just throwing out ideas there. But it could be possible right?
Also I just realized this… on the first trailer they released… the one where the Green Lion was being surrounded by light? I couldn’t help but see that the being kneeling in front of Green is Balmeran. Especially since the glow resembles the glow on the on episodes when they were on Balmera.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who thought this? Maybe? I dunno. Help. LOL.
Anyhoo, these are just some thoughts I had after seeing the new trailer.
But as a last thought, Dear Kami save me. A SHIRTLESS KEITH.
Will we be getting a shirtless Shiro soon enough? Kami thank you for being good.
Lotor deserved better
Keith had the most marriage proposals out of all the paladins, but after being universally recognized as the Galra Emperor (even if it was on accident) the proposals increase x10. Ezor won’t stop laughing and Kolivan is overprotective.
The paladins have a ~lot~ of inside jokes. The Atlas crew gets confused/concerned by this because on what planet is the proper response to anything ‘Shut your Quiznak’. And shouting ‘We had a bonding moment’ at people is just weird
All the photos taken in the last episode are now found in Keith’s board that he used in the first episode.
Sketch requests for @basedongalra who asked for Blaytz! I decided to draw him with Zarkon, because… I like Zarkon.
Once upon a time, I’ve made Voltron UNO cards for my friends and me ~ it was a lot of fun

No. 26 - YOU WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIP

The paladins where on a mission in a galra ship from the main fleet. The mission was almost successful, if they had been quicker or quieter maybe it wouldn’t have. Pidge noticed something as she was scanning the ships data. She scrambled to her feet and alerted the other paladins that the ship was set to explode any minute.
The commander of the ship caught up with the paladins. Keith told the others to go on with out him, that he would hold off the commander. Shiro was reluctant to leave his brother but if anyone could get out in time it was Keith. He fought with the commander for a few minutes giving the paladins enough time to get out. He waited until Shiro gave confirmation that all the paladins were back in their lions.
The commander looked at Keith for a moment before stating “You will go down with this ship.”. Keith had almost forgot the ship was set to explode, he quickly turned and stabbed his blade into the commander and began running to find an exit to his lion. As Keith was running he could hear Shiro, pidge and the others all yelling through the helmets at him to hurry up.
The explosions started going off behind him as he picked up the pace. He could hear the paladins scrambling for answers. Keith just kept running, there was no way he was going down with this ship not a chance. He kept running until he was out of breath. He could see the red lion now, he was so close. He took a leap of faith and jumped for the red lion.
Keith managed to fly the red lion just outside the explosion range before collapsing from exhaustion…

Keith had been feeling strange lately, he couldn’t really explain why. This morning when he woke up to find purple splotches all over him he headed straight to Coran. He was in the med bay as usual working on something Keith knew he wouldn’t understand. Keith told Coran about the purple splotches he found and after Coran had taken a look he concluded that it must have been something Keith ate bringing his galra form. However he said there shouldn’t be anything to worry about.
Keith went on with the rest of his day as normal until around about dinner. The paladins where eating dinner in the dining hall when Keith’s full transformation happened. His skin and hair turned shades of purple, two of his teeth turned into fangs and his skin burned. It felt like his skin was on fire, he screamed out in pain falling to his knees. The other paladins where quick to look over at Keith who was now curled into a tight ball whimpering in pain.
Hunk was the first to try and approach Keith but had little luck as Keith scratched at his arms leaving them bleeding a lot. Lance was the second paladin to try however he yielded the same result. That’s when seemingly Keith lost control, a shift in his demeanour was the tell tell sign. Shiro was the first to notice the change but he didn’t react quickly enough. It took Shiro just under an hour to catch Keith.
Finally though Keith was now contained in a cell on the lower deck of the castle. He was practically running circles in the cell every now and then running into the glass in an attempt to break it. It broke Shiro’s heart because he knew what it was like to have no control over what your doing but still knowing your doing it.
Keith continued running rampant in the cell until eventually he fell asleep leaning against the glass of the cell. The paladins where at a loss on what to do so they had to call in Galran reinforcements. Kolivan, Thace and Regris all showed up following Coran down to the cells.
The paladins only hoped that the three Galran males knew how to change Keith back or at the very least teach him to control it.
