Watching Voltron Legendary Defender I began to notice something that the entire team has in common: they all without question protect Pidge. The team will go out of their way to make sure Pidge is safe, and anyone who attacks Pidge is immediately dealt with.
Pidge draws the attention of the commander?
Turn the commander’s attention onto you.
Falling down a slide of death? Put Pidge on your shoulders out of reach.
Pidge is almost never standing by themself. Someone is always near them, and normally? It’s Shiro and Hunk, the two biggest guys on the team.
You will almost never see Pidge on the edge of the group, Pidge is never exposed.
Not even the sloth thing touches the Pidge.
Everyone else is complaining? We can keep going. Pidge has a breakdown? REST TIME.
It was all verbal until the Princess threw food goop at Pidge?
GAME ON, ALLURA. Immediate retaliation from Keith.
There’s a thing falling at you, no way is Shiro going to let his Pidge get squished.
Nothing harms the Pidge.
Alien has Pidge held in painful grip, rest of the team can’t do anything?
LANCE WAKES UP FROM A F**KING COMA TO SHOOT THE ALIEN!
In short? Pidge is precious and must be protected at all costs. You touch Pidge? The rest of the team will make you regret it.
if you’ve got a bunch of teenagers in space w no access to media they are going to start making their own entertainment so i think that we need to discuss team voltron memes
“where’s [insert team member here]?” “i mean… *looks out window at the stars, shrugs* space, probably”
they keep a tally of every time lance gets rejected by someone and use it to shut him up when he’s getting annoying
“okay i’m gonna stop you there, 37 strike outs”
whenever an alien does something particularly weird pidge loudly hums the x-files theme
lance will do random trust falls “for team bonding.” everyone lets him fall on his ass but shiro
drawing mustaches on random objects and talking to them as if they’re coran
for like two weeks lance refers to keith exclusively through pop culture references
“hey where’s older, angrier Nico Di Angelo?”
“scarless Zuko is in position”
“ayo young Billy Ray Cyrus come spar with me”
loud acapella renditions of The Circle of Life during training sessions
hunk the Hunk™
calling shiro dad but only in the context of petty arguments (“daaaaaad, lance won’t stop touching my stuff”)
*points at something pidge is tinkering with* “is that a calculator”
constant shitting on the castle’s defenses
“after that fight, I think I need a drink, and it better be stronger than that particle barrier”
there’s a month long campaign to catch shiro in the middle of his morning routine to solve the mystery of whether or not he uses eyeliner. but they can never catch him getting up in the morning?? like one time they pull an all nighter and hide in his bathroom and somehow?? he still evades them???
whenever allura enters the room lance yells “everyone act casual” and they all strike ridiculous poses
*lance gets into a Situation and asks keith for help* “I’m sorry I… can’t hear you…. I think the connection’s…… breaking up…………”
exaggeratingly censoring themselves in front of pidge
“oh biscuits and jam I am so darn steamed right now!” “lance shut the fuck up”

I mean, I’ve known I was a lesbian for quite some time now, but FUCK
can we talk about the decontamination scene in s2 e4 is because
Keith pouting with his arms crossed because he’s not happy about this and he and Lance are side-eyeing each other because OF COURSE THEY ARE. poor Hunk is completely covered in squishy asteroids because Lance was using him as a shield the entire time.
Pidge hates every second of this. Keith is still pouting. Shiro has decided to set an example for good hygiene and Lance follows suit albeit much less enthused. Hunk looks up, amazed at the miracle that is water.
Keith is still pouting he hasn’t moved at all. Shiro continues to be a role model. Lance flashes back to every embarrassing moment in his entire life. HUNK IS HAVING SO MUCH FUN LOOK AT HIM
they’re uNDER WATER AND KEITH IS STILL POUTING WITH HIS ARMS CROSSED. Lance is surrounded by his own element and feels at ease, stickin his legy out. Hunk is goodness incarnate.
KEITH IS STILL DOING IT. Shiro is very relaxed I’m happy for him. Lance grabs onto Hunk for support to avoid getting blown away and Hunk is okay with it because he loves his friends. Pidge does not grab onto anythi
