[aro-paladin-pidge]

My aro Pidge manifesto:

Pidge is the only one of the main paladins that never shows either implied or explicit sexual/romantic feelings. Shiro canonically had a fiancé (refuse to acknowledge that endcard), Keith is teased romantically with Acxa in the later seasons, and he has several scenes with Lance throughout the latter half of season 1 and in seasons 2-3, that can be very easily interpreted as romantic. Lance is canonically attracted to women. He enters a romantic relationship with Allura (though that was horribly done) and has several scenes with Keith that can be read romantically in the first three seasons. Allura canonically enters a romantic relationship with Lance, and shows clear romantic feelings for Lotor throughout seasons five and six. Hunk canonically has feelings for and enters a romantic relationship with Shay. Pidge never brings up romance, and seems disgusted the only time it is ever brought up in their presence. (Sam mentions meeting Pidge’s mom over a modulating argument in Season 6(?))

Pidge is the Paladin of the Green Lion, the Guardian Spirit of Nature. They have an entire episode devoted to their relationship with plants and the Green Lion. (The season 2 episode Greening the Cube) Plants reproduce asexually, and have no concept of ‘mating’ or ‘romance’, unlike most animals. Aro/ace spec people often use plant motifs to represent them, as in most animals there’s the idea of ‘base instincts’ or whatever that’s always about sex.

Pidge is also continually associated with the colors green, white, gray, and black, which are the colors of the aromantic flag. Green is, of course, the color of their Lion, white is featured prominently on both their lion, armor, and casual clothes. Grey is the color of all of Pidge’s self-made tech, (notably distinct from white Altean tech) and they wear gray shorts in their non-paladin outfit. Pidge has a black cloak that they occasionally wear (the ONLY paladin to have any additional non-uniform clothes until the last seasons) and their Lion has a black shield on its back. No other lions have anything similar outside of when they form Voltron.

Pidge is the resident computer genius of Voltron, who understands robots, coding, and technology. They create machines and algorithms throughout the show, and they never seem to consider robots as less than organic beings. These are character traits that, in sci-fi, are almost always associated with robot or ai characters. Said characters are some of the only consistent examples of aromantic/asexual representation available.

Pidge’s arc also exists entirely outside romance, and is allowed to have friendships with male characters without it every being colored as romantic or sexual in nature, something exceedingly rare for an afab character that is textually alloromantic/sexual. (One reason I dislike people who ship Pidge with other characters). When Pidge’s arc with finding their family is resolved, romance is still never presented as an option.

Pidge very much looks like “the typical ace/aro” in that they are teenage, AFAB, skinny and white. This is a stereotype, obviously, but Voltron was never above using those.

Finally, this is purely me, but Pidge is the most androgynous-presenting of all the main Voltron characters, and I’ve noticed that a lot of aro spec people often tend towards gnc or androgynous presentation.

On their own, most of these things could be waved off, but it’s very weird when you put them all together. For a show with as many romantic jokes, subplots, and relationships as Voltron, Pidge being entirely left out feels intentional.

characters I headcanon as some variety of aspec

coming from someone who is an aspec lesbian :)

It’s pride month, so I’m finally posting this! small disclaimer that none of this is canon and I am not insisting it is. you can have whatever character interpretations you desire

  Ruby Rose (rwby) - canonically hasn’t shown attraction to anyone, definitely ace. I do however, think she may experience romantic attraction

Katniss Everdeen - definitely demisexual, I related so hard to her general disinterest in the love triangle situation. Perhaps demiromantic as well? I just know this girl is on the aro/ace spectrum

Eren Jaeger - tbh I think he’s baffled by the concept and was intentionally ignoring Mikasa’s affections to avoid that confusion. No sexual attraction, but not aromantic. I like to headcanon Eren as biromantic because I feel that he had feelings for both Mikasa and Armin, but that’s up to interpretation

Marella Redek - I just really relate to her keeping track of all the “attractive” boys to head off suspicion. Comphet or whatever. Asexual and biromantic is what I’m going with for her

Claudia (tdp) - I’m just projecting again, apparently she did actually like Callum? I forgot my original reasoning. Anyways, aspec and bi, or whatever orientation you please

Kate Harker - I know they kissed, I do not care. She hasn’t ever shown sexual or romantic attraction towards anyone. It just feels right to me.

August Flynn - again, I know they kissed. I just don’t think there was any sexual or romantic attraction there, just stress and finally breaking down barriers. Is is problematic to headcanon a non-human as aro/ace? Probably, but I don’t care. he is relatable.

Pidge (vld) - she’s the green character, so obviously that means she’s aro. I never got into the fandom, so let me know if there are any interesting gender headcanons for Pidge!

Merida - a literal aroace (arrow ace)! Related so hard to her disgust at the idea of marriage. I love lesbian headcanons for her too

Spensa Nightshade - demisexual! she’s purple, do I need more proof? The way her crushes are written in Skyward just feel different from descriptions I’ve read in other books. Like, they’re only romantic.

Also, shout out to Lilith Clawthorne and Yelena Belova for being canonically aroace characters! I’m very happy that we’re starting to get some rep :)

  go ahead and respond with your own ace character headcanons or alternate headcanons for these characters, I think it’s cool to see other peoples analyses!

also, please let me know if I’m mixing up terms, I’m not all-knowing

A QUICK MESSAGE FOR MY TRANS BESTIES:

- You are still a boy if you are pretty.

- You are still a boy if you love other boys.

- You are still a boy If you wear makeup, dresses, and whatever else you want.

- You still a boy if you don’t have surgery or testosterone. YOU ARE A MAN.

- You are still a girl if you tower over your fellow girls and have a voice deep enough to sing baritone.

- You are still a girl if you love other girls.

- You are still a girl if you rock a makeup-less face, a bald head, and anything else you want. YOU ARE A WOMAN.

- You are still non-binary if other people think you’re not.

- You are still non-binary if you wear ball gowns or tuxedos.

- You are still non-binary if you have a commonly feminine name or a commonly masculine name. YOU ARE NON-BINARY.

- You are still gender-fluid if people misgender you.

- You are still gender fluid if you are one gender or another more often than the rest.

- You are still gender-fluid in whatever you are wearing. And I will respect and love your pronouns. YOU ARE GENDER-FLUID

There are a million genders, and infinite pronouns. Not all could be listed here, due to my sadly limited knowledge. But, YOU ARE YOU. You can have any name, any clothes, and body, and style, any sexuality, and any friends. You can be a Demi girl. A Demi boy. A non-binary human with a particular connection to another gender. And I will be your ally.

I will correct those you misgender you and get your name wrong. I will correct them so you don’t have to.

I will send you links to free binders because I know you can’t afford one.

I will stay up all night with you as we brainstorm your perfect name.

I will compliment you. Not just say you are ‘passing well.’

I will tell your family they are wrong about you.

I will share my cupcakes even though I bought them. (STEVE.)

I will send you memes in the middle of the day. Or the night. I don’t really sleep.

I will listen to you rant about Lord of The Rings even though the movies are too long and I can’t seem to finish the books.

I will let you feed my hermit crabs because they’re cool and I’m proud of them even though all they do is sleep and climb around.

Because you are my friend. And you’re perfect as you are. ❤️❤️

I finally started posting my story!

I’ve been wanting to do it for foreverrrrr! I would have put some up on Tumblr, but it feels too long to be properly aesthetic. Anyone who wants to read it, check out ‘Valor,’ on Wattpad! (Please. Please read it. I promise it’s good)

There’s no official upload schedule, but there’ll be lots to read soon.

Anyone else notice that smart or highly intelligent characters are almost always headcanoned to be asexual?

I’m Not complaining, just a trend I noticed

me watching Voltron in 2018: Okay sure I'll select someone to have a crush with (AHEM AHEM such an asexual thing to do me)

me: *chooses Pidge* He cute

then I saw that Pidge was a girl

me: I don't know why but that's even better (ANOTHER AHEM YOU'RE GAY ME)

and again, I think Pidge was one that made me more attracted to non binaries hehe

Hunk: How did you do so well in the Garrison?

Pidge: *puts on sunglasses* To ace you gotta be ace

[back-on-my-autistic-bullshit]

Fuck you *queers your voltron characters*

Hi. Here are my queer headcanons for voltron characters in no particular order. These are purely vibes based I mostly have no logic

Lance: bisexual - trans man - he/him

Keith: gay - trans man - he/him

Pidge: aroace - non-binary or genderfluid I can't pick - any pronouns? Either that or mirror pronouns

Hunk: panromantic asexual - cis man - he/him

Shiro: gay (obviously) - cis man - he/they

I have many thoughts about sexuality/gender hcs for literally any aliens because of how labels transfer over etc etc also in my heart Altea didnt have the emphasis on labels and other junk like we do. So any queer hcs for aliens are just the closest to what I think theyd be, and if they're altean theyre unlabelled but I used what I'd choose if I had to assign labels based on what fits best

Allura - pansexual - demigirl - she/her

Coran - bisexual/pansexual - transmasc - he/him

Lotor <3: gay - transmasc/demiboy - he/they/it

Acxa: lesbian - non-binary - she/her

Veronica - bisexual - cis woman - she/her

Also, Acxa and Veronica are dating, and that's on that

Uhh yeah thats it for now. Maybe I'll post more later idk just had to get these out of my system

Some Fun Ways to Clap Back to Annoying Reporters: Author’s Edition

“Why are there so many homos in your books?”

“I know guys, I’m sorry,” *Tearing up* “I know a lot of you were hoping for vampires, it’s not that I’m not willing to try! But, I just feel like that’s Stephanie Meyer’s turf! So, we’re stuck with Homo sapiens for now.

“What will the children think?”

“Well, they probably think more than you, since none of them are asking about other people’s children.”

“Why are there so many [gay/female/trans/black/etc.] characters in this book?”

“Well, I didn’t want anyone like you in my story. It’s supposed to be good.”

Some other ideas:

Just start laughing

Let them know it’s a nonsense question (people deserve the truth☺️)

Ignore them, call on someone else

Pretend to misunderstand the question until they realize how stupid they sound

Ask them; ‘Why do you think so?’ And watch the train wreck

Have fun, and good luck out there!
