Thread by @Astro_Latte

Thread where I re-read my favorite volume of the Voltron comics - also the last one written by Tim Hedrick 😭 - where the team hangs out with space furries, Hunk adopts an alien son and Lance saves Keith from getting his head chopped off. 💕

When the universe is at stake and you're all really stressed out, what else is there to do other than fucking around with the training equipment like it's a corn maze?

Voltron’s three brain cells at any given moment:

My favorite aspect of Keith's crush on Lance is his never-ending quest to learn more about him by taking all his dumb thoughts incredibly seriously.

Lance: Haha Zarkon is like Lemon Meringue pie, cause I hate it! 🤪
Keith: Hm 🤔....interesting....*scribbles new fact into his notebook labeled 💙Just Lance Things!💙*

Hunk loves his rock girlfriend so much!!

Keith sees a cool dude on a raptor swinging a sword around and is instantly like, "Now that is a man who has it all figured out!"

Lance is the type of Furry who doesn't want you to KNOW he's a Furry but when the topic comes up, he knows some shit.

Wow, way to make it all about yourself, buddy.

Every time this dude talks, Keith is like, "Wow! He rides a dinosaur with a sword AND has a tragic backstory? 🤩 Step aside, Shiro. I think I have a new mentor!"

Lance: "I am NOT a Furry! I just have a thing for warrior princesses. I have a type."
Hunk: "Your type is funky Aliens and that includes Furries."
Pidge: "Yip yip, bitch."

The thing I loved about Tim is that he remembered that Pidge was 14 and he would have her do dumb, little sister shit like this and it was funny! Other people always wrote her too mean or standoffish.

Boyfriends!

Keith: "Time to get down and dirty!"
Lance: "Are we still doing phrasing?"

They make a good team!

Keith: "Wow! Can I have ONE mentor who doesn't die?"
Shiro: "I'm standing right here?"
Keith: "Good, so you heard me!"

She became her own narrator just to sell the joke. A queen I can respect.

Princesses: "You're tall so we're going to both marry you."
Hunk: "But Shiro is taller!"
Shiro: "And gay so I want nothing to do with whatever is going on here!"

Wife Guy Hunk confirmed.

Lance: "Again....not a Furry....but if you want someone to date one of those warrior princesses, I am single and available!"
Pidge: "They're FURRY warrior princesses!"
Lance: "NO, THEY ARE WARRIOR PRINCESSES WHO JUST HAPPEN TO HAVE FUR. IT'S NOT THE SAME!"

I know this is meant to be a fun kid activity in the comic, but Lance is also the type to have a laminated hand out on dating that he gives to people like a college professor. Keith has his copy stapled in his notebook on 💙Just Lance Things💙

👀👀

💅

Post canon klance continues to reign supreme.

This is such an obvious wink to why Allura and Lance didn't work out, but Keith and Lance were always together in the end.

If anyone sees Hedrick or Iverson on the street, you tell 'em it’s on sight!

Me every time I see how they colored Allura...

Why wasn't this ever a shirt? For a show owned by a company that was so overbearing due to merch sales, they had the worst fucking merchandise.

Pidge laughing at Lance's dumb joke while they're fighting for their lives is so 🥺 I love the Garrison trio so much!

Keith compliments Lance like he's contractually required by boyfriend law to say nice things about him even when they're about to get nerfed.

Captain Allura was a fucking babe. Blue Paladin who? Aint nobody talking to MY Queen.

I forgot the Furry Warriors were also magic cats lol

*boops both their noses* Cuties!

At this point, pain is a reflex.

Lance: "STILL NOT A FURRY....but...."

Keith is so irritated by Lance for no reason lol

Coran had the nerve to dress Lance in pots and pans when he had this sweet date getup the entire time?

Lance pls 😭

Keith: Lance🥰 wanna train together? ❤
Lance: Ehhh....no thanks😪
Keith: okay 🔪🔪 that's fine 😤😡😭💔

Keith and Allura: "We are proud to identify as a moronsexual. We are attracted to dumbasses and dumbasses exclusively!"
Lance: "Let's fight this cloud with a kite!"
Keith and Allura: *taking off their clothes* "omg you're so fucking stupid."

The skin coloring in this book is so 🤐

Keith would be the type to correct the guy trying to kill him on a technicality.

I love Keith. This dude just comes up to him like, "We both have swords. We gotta fight." And Keith's like, "That makes sense to me!"

Keith: *gets a slight cut*
Lance: *bursts through door* I AM HERE WITH AN ENTIRE ARMADA, THE GARRISON, VOLTRON, SOME OTHER DUDES I PICKED UP ALONG THE WAY AND A WITTY ONE-LINER! GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM KEITH!

Lance ain't even the leader and Shiro is like, "I'll let him have this one."

I love them 💗 the first 2 seasons of this show holds a special place in my heart.

Hunk is leaving this story with son and two wives because he is the best and deserves the world!

Shiro: "Whatcha got there, bud?"
Hunk with a smoothie and alien son: "....a smoothie?"

The boyfriend energy of this panel.

HUNAY IS CANON QUEEN!

I love Hunk had a crush on Shay even back then. Like he was thinking of marrying her while raising is little lizard son. Hunk, baby, you deserved everything you got!

Hershel could've eaten these rats and saved us so much grief.

Allura will TURN THIS SHIP AROUND DON'T FUCKING TEST HER!

Allura is not a Furry, confirmed.

Lance bickering with Keith mid-battle is classic klance dynamic. Mwah!

Notice how Keith isn't immediately turned off by the Furry King maybe giving him 😍. We've already confirmed Lance is a furry, but unlike Allura, Keith is like, "I can consider this!" And that's why they're soul mates.

See? Lance knows.

Sure, Keith.

That's all folks! Thanks for following along this nostalgia trip with me.
