Ppl like to make reminders at how soft Keith can be and that’s great but I think the real reminder some of you guys need is that Keith is also gruff, hot headed, impulsive and a boyish boy.
He likes the outdoors because they are quiet. He is quiet himself. He lived alone in a desert shack for a year, organizing information that he was instinctually drawn to find. He explored caves and studied ancient carvings. He’s instinctive and daring and wears a cropped sports jacket and has a mullet and uses phrases like “right on the money”
When no one is trying to rile him up he’s calm or neutral in character. His input is rational and logical, sometimes to the point of sounding insensitive. He’s socially awkward and sarcastic but never violent to his teammates. Most of the time when he’s teased he doesn’t even throw insults back, just defends himself. Sometimes he doesn’t even try to verbally defend himself.
So what I’m saying is: Keith is not a provocative feminine emo boy thirsting after boy love.
Keith is not a cold-hearted violently explosive asshole that will beat innocents half to death behind an Arby’s.
I drew Keith from Voltron Legendary Defender in his/Shiro’s dorm room after he disappeared :c
…psst you should look at the larger image on my DA to see details on the wall http://fav.me/da7jpmb
lemme tell you i am so fucking tired of angsty vampires. its enough.
give me a newly-turned twenty-something vampire who hears about their newfound immortality and is like “thank god,” then proceeds to invest in some promising startups and fucks off to take a nap for two decades
give me a vampire thats only the tiniest bit phased at the blood diet because “eh, i tried paleo a while back and it was just as weird”
give me a vampire with self image issues who never has to avoid mirrors again because - bingo - no reflection
give me a genderqueer vampire who finally has an answer when someone asks their gender. “are you a boy or a girl?” “i am a vampire.” “but whats in your pants?” “fangs.”
best of all, give me a vampire chick who is so stoked about being nocturnal because she’s never been able to walk alone after dark before and it’s nice to be able to walk her friends home and know theyre all safe with her
Crepuscular rays appear to burst out of the sun and up into the sky; or burst out of the sun and down onto the horizon. They fool the naked eye because as divergent and widespread as they may appear, the rays are actually parallel to one another. The rays only appear to be angled and sprouting from a central point mostly due to atmospheric variables.
A couple things need to happen in order for these types of rays to become visible.
Can we please take a moment to appreciate this? Because this is just so good and well written and ghaaaaah! I love Keith in this one. Also: @keepleaves MAY I HUG AND LOVE YOU FOR POSTING THIS??? ❤
When the Blades of Marmora learn that the Paladins find Keith a bit distant and hard to read, they’re shocked.
“Obviously, he’s happy to be with you right now. Look how his shoulders are turned toward you!”
“Why didn’t you invite him to tell you his concerns? Didn’t you see him shifting his feet?”
Because it turns out that Keith has very open and easy-to-read body language. It just happens to be galran body language. To any galra, Keith is almost childishly self-expressive, because no one ever taught him to restrain his emotive movements. Most of the time, his human guardians never even realized he was emoting.
Shiro came the closest of anyone to really comprehending Keith’s body language, simply because he put in the time. But there were still gaps in his knowledge, and he always assumed Keith just had a unique way of expressing himself.
Nope.
Turns out, he just had a very galran way of expressing himself. Keith still has some human body language, but a lot of it either stems from overlap with galran body language or had to be consciously learned.
The general consensus among the Blades is that Keith’s overt expressiveness is kind of adorable and that he can never, ever do undercover work.
