#zarkon almost causes a lot of wars

New headcanon:

If something went wrong, it was usually Alfor, Blaytz, or Zarkon’s fault, or some combination of the three. It typically wasn’t purposeful (though the potential for intergalactic wars started by an insulted Zarkon was always there) and it typically needed Trigel and Gyrgan to do a whole lot of damage control.

The time they scared an entire solar system into thinking the apocalypse was being heralded by the arrival of Voltron was blamed totally on Alfor - they were his lions, and Trigel had to explain that they weren’t ancient deities there to punish them while Alfor almost just went with it. The war Blaytz nearly started with his flirting got him banned from the planet not by the leaders but by an annoyed and exasperated Gyrgan. Zarkon had to be physically held back from challenging people to duels almost regularly.

It all came with the paladin gig.
