Why do fanfic writers randomly make characters korean. And it is always the whitest characters ever. Like I read a fic where someone made the twinyards half korean or some shit and it's like. Tilda was probably a racist. I swear to you I have read multiple fics where Keith Kogane was made korean. He's literally japanese. just don't do it? it's not only forced diversity, it's just randomly making your faves korean because you have an east asian fetish. This has been a PSA.

#why specifically korean too #like why the whitest most caucasian characters ever #i once saw fanart of martin blackwood #and he was half korean half polish #the fanart was fucking fantastic by the way #but why half korean half polish???? #it was so random #do yall just #spin a globe and point at random coutries #is this like something i don't understand because im not a fic writer??? #or is it just for the aesthetic #aftg #all for the game #andrew minyard #aaron minyard #twinyards #vld #keith kogane #tma #martin blackwood #im only half joking #its a bit weird #there are other countries in asia? #yall never see people randomly making characters desi #i wonder why that is

Voltron Characters Headcanons, go!

FINALLY! I HAVE.. too many..

Let's start with the original Red & Blue duo:

KEITH (Aka. He isn't emo, just unique)

- Demisexual Homoromantic (Yes.) - He/Him Pronouns - Full Name Headcanon: Keith's full name is “Keith Akira Kogane” and other languages. However, I like to think that Keith's father (whom I've named: Hyeong-Min, Hyeon by itself means “Virtuous or Worthy” and Min means “Sharp-minded” which I think fits someone who is Keith's dad.) His surname in Japan is Kogane, yes. But in Korea, it would be Kim. As both Kim and Kogane mean “Gold” in Korean and Japanese. This does mean that Keith has a Korean name along with his usual one. I'm choosing to go along with the idea that when Hyeong-min's parents left Korea and moved to Texas, they gave him a Korean name but when Hyeong-min and Krolia had Keith, they chose to gave him multiple names depending where he was. TLDR; (Japanese - Akira Kogane; Korean - Ki-Joo or Ki-Joon Kim/Kogane; Common - Keith Akira Kogane.) - Absolute Literature nerd (He spent a shit long time in that cabin. There's no way Adam or Shiro hadn't found him before and given him books or something to occupy himself.) - I love having him as Japanese-Korean + Half-Galra but he was raised in Texas so he's forgotten a lot of his Korean since no one was there to continuously talk to him in the language like his dad did. Shiro talks Japanese with him so that one is still fine. Keith's been trying to relearn Korean but it's hard since he gets sad (and mad) when thinking about his dad. - He wears eyeliner. Shiro taught him to. - He wears too many rings. And whenever he has to wash his hands, he takes them off, and Lance practically faints every time Keith flexes his hands to ensure his rings are in place. - Despite being touch-repulsed, Keith is so fucking touch-starved it's unreal. - Keith only calls Shiro “Takashi” when he's mad or sad. No in-between. One time he did it was when he was younger, Shiro beat him in Mario Kart and he got so mad, he screamed: "I'm disowning myself from you, Takashi!" and Shiro almost cried. - Keith's Galra side only comes out when he's focused, mad, or extremely flustered about something. Lance teased him to no end one time and his skin started turning purple. - After Allura and Keith had their talk, Allura's been trying to make his little Galra situation better. If she sees him slowly turning purple and becoming anxious about it, she'll turn purple too for the remainder of his ordeal. (And then it becomes a “who wears purple the best”) - Keith loves music, he likes to play the keyboard or piano at times, only problem is that he's a bit tone-deaf (which is surprising considering he actually is pretty good at playing those instruments.) - He is lactose-intolerant, only that he doesn't give a shit and does continuously eat or drink dairy products, it doesn't make him sick though because of his Galra genes... but he does, quite literally, destroy the bathroom.

LANCE (Aka. Too many sad shit)

- Bisexual Disaster (with a hint of internalized homophobia) - He/Him Pronouns - Full Name Headcanon: His real name is Leandro Agustín Nuñez Carmen Esposita-McClain, shortened to Lance McClain. Just like @autisticlancemcclain's headcanon, I love it a lot. (Sorry for the ping, if it did) - All his siblings have acronym names along with their mother. Mervin, headcanon McClain papa's name, is the only one without one. - Lance has central heterochromia, meaning the inner ring of his eyes are brown whilst the rest is blue. Kinda like this:

(This is a picture I got off Google, please don't sue me. And yes, I know it's more orange than brown but I couldn't find a good enough reference to show you all, basically it's just like that except the middle is much darker) - He's constantly terrified he'll forget things from Earth. Like his sense of time, the way colors are, the way the light moves, the moon changing every night, everything. Not just because of you know, Voltron and stuff, but because he has memory issues too. - He accidentally forgot the name of his niece and nephew one time and panicked afterward as he scrambled to think of what they were. Now, he has little notes in his pocket that holds all his family members' names. - Lance is a prodigy at playing music, specifically guitars but he doesn't think he's good after the last time he played in a competition, he got absolutely destroyed and insulted by one of the other sour competitors that he never tried to play a guitar again because everytime he tries to, that memory keeps coming back and it's one of the many reasons he has such low self-esteem. - He thought he was sick the first time he had a crush on a guy from the first week of being in the Garrison (it was Keith) and rang up his mother only to be politely told that he wasn't sick. - Lance often tries to write little poems for Keith because he knows how much he likes literature only to throw it allow or out the airlock when he thinks it isn't good enough. It leads to the first poem Keith received from him being the most romantic and elegantly made poem he's ever read... (and he only got it because Lance forgot where he left it when he was planning on throwing it away again) - Despite being a flirt, Lance cannot handle being flirted with. Keith is surprisingly smooth with his comebacks (it's only when he doesn't try). - Keith sometimes accidentally (or purposefully, depending on the situation) initiates physical affection and it flusters Lance to no end. - He prefers wearing gold because Keith told him one time that it suited him. Aka: Keith's opinion of anything Lance wears is what he sticks to as a fashion choice.

I've got more for the other characters! Stay tune for those. Next up: Pidge & Hunk, the lil' nerd duo!

ACTUALLY WAIT FUNNIEST OPTION: Keith has like. One Irish Catholic foster family that was like really good to him before being taken in by shiro and he just sort of. Keeps their name or something. Keith O’Connor-Kogane-Shirogane

that's sweet actually <3 wait now i think it would be funny if the koganes were a foster family too and he just didn't keep any of his actual family names

shiro driving keith home: so, o'connor, huh? are you irish at all?

keith, looking straight at the road and like making a map in his head or something: no. (does not explain further)

shiro: huh ok. what about kogane, then? are you japanese too?

keith: part. i'm more korean. but that's not my family's name.

shiro: huh. and now you're a shirogane! you're just collecting these surnames like playing cards haha

keith: i hope i'm done.

shiro: yeah kid. me too.

#voltron #i got sappy and embarrassing but leave me alone i have autism #anon #ask #but it is kind of funny to me when people have a ridiculous amount of last names. #i dont know if its funny or sad actually that none of keiths names are from his bio family.... much to consider.

[heartsburst]

why do so many vld fans say keith kogane is korean? like i get that he's voiced by steven yeun but i don't get where that came from.

#frankie yells #vld #like it's not like kogane is a korean last name??? (it's japanese)

[garr9988]

As someone considering writing Voltron fanfic, but not wanting to use the Paladins' surnames from past versions of the show (Lance McClain, Hunk Garrett, etc.) because those are So White and I want them to have properly ethnic names:

Can anyone please point me toward any widely accepted surname headcanons? There are so many Hispanic names Lance could have, and I'm currently considering using Hunk Mauga (I made sure that there are instances of real people having Mauga as a surname), and then there's Keith's deal of "is he Japanese for Kogane, is he Korean (somehow), is he White (like the show treats him)"?

EDIT: Sorry to everyone also interested in this, I forgot to update. Turns out the blog lanceiscuban has a page for this exact thing!

Hc where Shiro learns korean to say his vowels to Keith in

And Keith does the same in japanese <33

They both shock each other into ugly crying in front of everyone but Krolia who helped Shiro and Keirh's duolingo account are both v proud

[Idk where I stand with Shiro's parents-I feel like the fandpm has collectively decided they're dead or just not in his life so I've just never thought about it...also I hc Keith as japaness-korean partially for the sake of thia hc and also my own personal hyperfixations but that'a a whole 'nother story]

Basically Keith brushed up on his japanese because he's out of practice [rip papa kogane] and shiro cries over the memory for weeks after the fact

This was supposed to be a short hc...sorry guys haha

[autisticlancemcclain]

i am sorry but Keith is white or atleast incredibly white coded in canon and it goes into how he and Pidge are treated vs how canon characters of colour are treated in the show. The name "Kogane" comes from previous iteration and is not canon and he is commonly hc'ed as Korean because of his va (which is not an evidence because otherwise Shiro would have been latino and Lance and Hunk would have been white). Why is this important? Because Keith and his arc is given way more importance and was treated way better compared to characters like Allura, Shiro, Lance, Hunk who were through out the show consistently humilated, bashed, sidelined, and used as angst fuel for Keith to shine. And that goes both in the show and the fandom.

Look hc whatever you want but stop calling people gross for calling him white especially when 1) there is no evidence for Keith's heritage beyond being half galra (which in the show are a colonizing empire and heavily white supremist coded) 2) a lot of people calling him white ARE Poc who are frustrated with blantant white favoritism in show and in fandom when it comes to Keith because lbr despite being hc'ed as Korean not much thought is actually put in this hc given even the surname Kogane is japanese in origin and yet still used to prove that he is korean and is only used as an aesthetic choice. And no that galra racism arc is not an evidence either. The so called racism arc was a black coded genocide survivor not trusting the people who destroyed her planet, and said species have been colonizing and destroying the entire universe for 10000 years i do not need to explain why it was problematic.

yeah i did not walk into this situation with any sort of preparation or knowledge. i watched voltron like, one time, and from what i had read in the handbooks and comics and stuff that i had known to be canon, he was korean, and so i always just assumed everyone knew that and that was how things worked. he def was treated the same as the non poc characters, and the show treated the poc characters like shit often to his benefit. you're right. and the reverse racism garbage w the galran background WAS weird and bad.

the ask i received was from someone who i know to be a person of colour, and i hadn't bothered to check to comments to see what the other opinions were, so i just said something i pulled out of my ass and assumed it was The Correct Opinion basically. that's my bad. i've edited the post already and will be more conscientious next time thank u for sending me the ask

#sorry yikes i need to think before i post #ask

[ginger-lover-maybe-emo]

Look, I don't understand why some people do headcanons where Keith is Chinese or Korean. SERIOUSLY. His last name is literally Kogane and his middle name is Akira (I looked it up on Wikipedia)

Changed: OK, sorry, it wasn't Keith with Akira's middle name, but his last name is still Kogane

[aemoglobin]

you know what, i have time

kogane is not remotely a korean last name, it does not follow korean naming conventions, yes 3rd+ gen immigrant kids are more likely to have ‘white’ names (keith is a white name) so that tracks fine but like. the last name. i’m grabbing vld fandom and shaking them like a snowglobe WE CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE CHARACTER OF (IMPLIED) JAPANESE DESCENT AT A TIME, IT’S OKAY!!!!!!!

and the kicker i think is that canonically according to at least one unverified tweet/interview/extra from a dw staff member, keith is a white boy. obviously this is false news but it cements my belief he isn’t korean at allllllllll i don’t know WHERE this fanheadcanon came from but it’s terrible and i hate it so bad

like i’m willing to accept that keith is very mixed and with japanese descent on his father’s side. that’s it. that’s as far as i’ll go. 

i can get farther into this if necessary bc i am 2nd gen asian so like :3c
