The fact that ‘people will hate you/unfollow you if you’re anti pedophilia/are open about being a survivor triggered by adultxminor content’ is a thing people say in this fandom AND ALSO the fact that ‘people will hate/unfollow you if you write/get off to adultxminor content’ ISN’T something pople say is fucking repulsive to me. How can yall be so far removed from the world around you?
The fact that popular opinion here is ‘if you’re a survivor and are triggered by it thats fine as long as you never ever talk about it and only have warm fuzzy feelings about the people who actively harm you uvu’ is so horrific and sets up a fucked up good survivor vs bad survivor dichotomy.
BASICALLY THIS FANDOM MAKES ME SICK AND THATS WHY I MOSTLY WRITE WITH MY THREE FRIENDS AND PPL IN OTHER FANDOMS
My text post promo, my sidebar, AND my rules all say don’t follow me or interact with my content if you write/draw/ship shiro with the paladins. They ALL say that. I’m not sure how much more clear I can POSSIBLY be. This is why I left the first time—creepy as hell shiro muns with zero respect for my boundaries that felt entitled to my content just because they enjoyed my writing even though they KNEW their presence made me feel unsafe.

“The most important thing is, you got to give the people what they want, even if it kills you.”
“You know, sometimes I feel like I was born with a leak, and any goodness I started with just slowly spilled out of me.”
“Life is a series of closing doors, isn’t it?”
“Am I a good person?”
“That’s the problem with life, either you know what you want and you don’t get what you want, or you get what you want and then you don’t know what you want.“
“There’s nothing for you behind you. All that exists is what’s ahead.“
“Family is a sinkhole, and you were right to get out when you had the chance.“
“I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: ‘Yeah, another day, let’s do it.’ How do people do it? I don’t know how.”
“You didn’t know me and then you fell in love with me. And now you know me.”
“Closure is a made up thing by Steven Spielberg to sell movie tickets”.
“We’re just two lonely people trying to hate ourselves a little less.”
“I don’t think I believe in ‘deep down’. I think that all you are is just the things that you do.”
“You were born broken, that’s your birthright.”
“You know what your problem is? You want to think of yourself as the good guy.”
“you’re a selfish goddamn coward who just takes whatever he wants and doesn’t give a shit about who he hurts. That’s you.”
“You know, it’s funny… when you look at someone through rose-colored glasses, all the red flags just look like flags.”
“I’m sorry, alright? I screwed up, I- I know I screwed up.”
“You can’t keep doing shitty things and then feel bad about yourself like that makes it okay! You need to be better!”
“You are all the things that are wrong with you.”
“Fuck, man. What else is there to say?”
“We’re not doomed. In the great, grand scheme of things, we’re just tiny specks that will one day be forgotten.”
“The only thing that matters is right now, this moment, this one spectacular moment we are sharing together.”
“I don’t understand how people… live. It’s amazing to me that people wake up every morning and say: ‘Yeah, another day, let’s do it.’ How do people do it? I don’t know how.”
“He’s so stupid he doesn’t realize how miserable he should be. I envy that.”
“It’s not about being happy, that is the thing. I’m just trying to get through each day.”
“I can’t keep asking myself ‘Am I happy?’ It just makes me more miserable.”
“It takes a long time to realize how truly miserable you are and even longer to see it doesn’t have to be that way.”
“When you do bad things, you have something you can point to when people eventually leave you. It’s not you, you tell yourself. It’s that bad thing you did.”
“It’s so cruel to let people love you. All you’re doing is promising you’ll one day break their hearts.”
“One day, you’re gonna look around and you’re going to realize that everybody loves you, but nobody likes you. And that is the loneliest feeling in the world.”
“There are some people you can’t save. Cause those people will thrash and struggle, and try to take you down with them.”
“ Hey, I wanted to talk to you about… you know. I feel bad about what happened.”
“I don’t forgive you.”
“No. I’m not gonna give you closure. You don’t get that. You have to live with the shitty thing you did for the rest of your life. You have to know that it’s never, ever going to be okay!”
“You have to believe me. I did everything I could.”
“I had a good life, but what I needed then was a friend! And you abandoned me. And I will never forgive you for that.”
“Now get the fuck out of my house!”
“ Look, I’m sorry about all the stuff I said about you earlier.”
“Do you… do you think it’s too late for me? I mean, am, am, am I just doomed to be the person that I am? “
“I, I, I need you to tell me that I’m a good person.”
“I just wanted to tell you that I know. I know you want to be happy, but you won’t be… and I’m sorry.”
“ What more do you want? What else could the universe possibly owe you? “
“I want to feel good about myself. The way you do. And I don’t know how. I don’t know if I can.”
“If you ever try to contact me or my family again, I will fucking kill you.”
“ You can’t just disappear. You really hurt a lot of people.”
“In this terrifying world, all we have are the connections that we make.”
“It’s so sad that when you see someone as they really are, it ruins them.”
“You like being there to rescue me. Because it makes you feel good about yourself.”
“ You know that I don’t do the whole love thing. Either you end up hurting someone or they hurt you. So what’s the point?”
“ Uh…. Oh, god, I’m drowning. I feel like I’m drowning.”
“Hey, we have all done shitty stuff before. Most of us aren’t as proud of it as you seem to be.”
“It doesn’t get better and it doesn’t get easier.”
❝
Hey you’re supposed to be working with me here. These are test pick up lines, so loosen up, imagine this the first time we’ve ever met and I’m using these incredibly smooth and excellent lines on you so you so you can fall in love with me already.
❞
Lance digs back into the pick up line catalogue occasionally refered to as his brain to pick out his best work. He would save his best line for last but for now he’s been going lead in with something really special.
❝
I was wondering if you had an extra heart. Mine was just stolen. ❞
❝…wait. Are you implying I stole it? Because if I stole it, and I DO have an extra heart…it would be yours, wouldn’t it? Why would I bother stealing it if I was just going to give it back?❞
he has so many questions. why don’t pickup lines make sense? maybe the problem has nothing to do with lance, but keith. maybe he just doesn’t GET this kind of thing.
Do you like space moms? Do you like interesting and well rounded portrayals of trans characters? Do you like freedom fighters who intend to destroy oppressive systems and intend to destroy all of the evil in the universe even if they have to do it with bare purble hands? Do you like voltron blogs that are completely shalad!n free? Are you gay as shit for Krolia? Then like/reblog this blog if you’re intersted in interacting with a Krolia from vld season 5.
❝
I don’t know, I’m pretty easy to fall in love with.
❞
The line falls flat but honestly Lance had kind of expected that, instead of responding to Keith’s slightly bewildered
answer. Instead he goes in for another attempt, he can do this, he make Keith fall in love with him, it’s no biggie. He doesn’t wanna think about that prospect sounds so incredibly appealing to him. Like Lance knows he’s bisexual, he knows this but also it’s Keith.
❝
Do you believe in love at first sight or should I pass by again? ❞
that one perplexes keith even MORE. his brows knit a little, trying to puzzle out what lance means. he blinks, slow, in the way he does right before he says something VERY LITERAL that makes it clear something sailed directly over his head.
Add a picture here, or a short rule about how you do or don't accept messages... whatever you want, really. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc eu suscipit orci. Donec eget neque eleifend, porta lacus ut, hendrerit justo. Nulla quis eleifend nunc.
RULES--PLEASE READ.
Introduction
♔ — The mun is called Summer. She/Her. And I’m of age—24 years old, if you’re curious.
♔ — Keith is, obviously, a VLD character. But crossovers make the world go ‘round and I’m totally always down with interacting with people that have blogs for other fandoms. Hell, sometimes even fandoms I’m not familiar with, if I’m intrigued.
♔ — MUN IS AUTISTIC. If I say something, and you don’t 10000% understand where I’m coming from or what I’m saying or whatever, ask me to elaborate. I will. I have a tough time articulating why certain things make me uncomfortable and it may take me a while to find the wording. So if you see me say something is bad or wrong and not explain why, just ask. It takes a few tries for me to get my explanation right.
♔ — My theme bg is mine and so are my icons so please don’t take them/mess with them.
♔ — Don’t be shy about asking me to plot with you or something. I swear I’m just a tremendous nerd and when people say they like my portrayal of my muses I turn all red and make weird noises I’m grateful you can’t actually see so there’s no reason to be scared, okay? Ask box is always open.
♔ — Skype is available to mutuals on request.
Roleplaying
♔ — I’m semi-selective. I’m not obligated to respond to something or follow back if I feel like it/we don’t jive.
♔ — Multiverse and multiship.
♔ — That said, ABSOLUTELY NO SHALADIN!!!! Will ever!! Be on this blog in any nonplatonic fashion!!!! If you ship this, I WILL block you. No exceptions. If you refer to people speaking out against shipping children with adults as a "ship war" or call them "antis", you will be blocked. That's it. Bottom line.
♔ — Also, I'm really not into people who are transmisogynistic about Pidge so if you subscribe to Pidge Is A Boy theories or try and write Pidge cis you might as well...not bother following me..
♔ — I tend not to write greeting posts besides in the very beginning of my blogs. I’ve found on other blogs that when I write greeters for everyone, they go without being answered and it becomes a drain of energy and it makes it hard to get to my replies. I might surprise you with one if I’m really feeling it, but generally I won’t. Shoot me a message if we’re just followed each other but haven’t spoken and you want to! c:
♔ — I love being tagged in random things okay if you just tag me in something it’s very, very likely I’ll love you forever.
♔ — Triggery content will be appropriately tagged, and any NSFW (if any?) will be tagged and under a read more. Mostly because I’m embarrassed of my smut writing and will probably want to keep it as hidden as possible like a huge nerd.

basic information
FULL NAME: Keith Kogane
NICKNAME: None
AGE: 16/17? (Some verses may be older like college verses or something so I'll say verse dependent)
BIRTH DATE: TBA, apparently
ETHNICITY: Japanese, Half Galra
GENDER: Male
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: He gay dude stop it,
RELIGION: Grew up going to church with his Christian Texan father , but is non-practicing.
SPOKEN LANGUAGE: English, some Japanese, recognizes a few Galra words/symbols without remembering how or why
FEARS: Being rejected (by the other paladins and by his lion), his efforts to be a good person not being enough due to his galra blood, losing people
MENTAL DISORDERS/DISABILITIES: Autistic
WHEN WAS THIS DIAGNOSED?: It wasn't. Guidance counselors batted the idea back and forth but decided to just "wait and see what happens", hoping he'd grow out of it. He did not. Luckily for him, the lack of paper diagnosis is part of the reason he was accepted into the Garrison. If he had it--or received one while he was there--he would've been kicked out much sooner than he was.
personality
INTELLIGENCE: Intelligence is a fucked up useless concept but he's a smart boy. He was top of his class at the Garrison before he was kicked out.
LIKES: Heart-to-Heart discussions, letting off steam via training, low commitment hangouts (being near each other but doing your own thing)
DISLIKES: So many of the things that Lance chooses to be and say, he's still a little iffy on food goo, people treating him strangely/differently from other people, the fact that people think he's super angry all the time when that's just his face
DISPOSITION: He comes off angry/irritated/sad a lot of the time when really he is just contemplative and doesn't emote well, but he really is friendly and loyal. He cares for people a lot, and it doesnt take him long to get "I would die for you" attached.
biography
For as long as Keith could remember, he was damn good at fighting. His blood ran hot with it--the familiar itch to swing striking every time some kid asked him why he didn't have a Mom.
Not that it changed the fact that he didn't have one, of course.
Young men with missing pieces and learned fists often find their place in the military. But Keith had always been regarded by adults to be like a changeling; eyes too big and dark and curious, too many questions, face too serious and thoughtful to be anyone's REAL son. His probing inquiries eventually outweighed his exemplary performance and he was cast out; left searching for answers alone. At least, until the burning questions of three other teens lead them to collide at the center.
You see, young people with missing pieces and unanswered questions often find their place among each other.
It turns out that the center's name was Shiro, and with the five of them together--saving the galaxy one planet at a time, slowly growing used to each others' idiosynchrasies--Keith finally had something he needed.
But he still had questions.
Is it selfish to go looking for where you came from after already finding where you belong? Would it wound his newfound family that he needed to know more about the circumstances of his birth?
