#keith is a cryptid

[vldsideblog]

Keith and Pidge are absolutely besties.

They are the ultimate introvert alliance, they are both autistic, they both like cryptids. Their older brothers are best friends. They are small but deadly. They can both Hotwire a car in under fifteen seconds. They watch old alien documentary’s together and laugh at the inaccuracies.

I love them

technically

from the most of sentient beings in the universe’s point of view

voltron as a concept IS a cryptid

there are records and sightings and encounters, but is its existence scientifically proven? no, not for the last millennia

are there conspiracies surrounding it? hell yeah there are, what Zarkon’s been doing while searching for lions and killing those who didn’t succeed may even be considered an anti-voltronic cult

space cryptid.

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

Part 4

On later reflection Lance preferred to believe that his brain malfunctioning, leaving him to stare slack jawed at “Keith” for at least 7 times longer than was reasonably polite, was simply the shock at 1. Meeting a cryptid and 2. Finding out he speaks English. But he knew damn well that it was really 3. CUTE NAKED GUY.

Recovering his senses, he turns away, rips off this hoodie, and holds it out behind him, shaking it in the vague direction of his new acquaintance. “For god’s sake, cover up.”

Nothing.

“You can’t just go around like… like… THAT!” He adds shaking the hoodie more vigorously to emphasize his point.

After what seems like an agonizing 5 hours of silence, Lance feels a tug on the garment and he relinquishes his hold. He’s not sure what “Keith” is doing with the hoodie, but he will definitely NOT be turning around thank you very much. You don’t grow up with a bunch of sisters and not learn how to avoid being a total ass.

“Lance?” A low, gentle voice calls out from behind him. “Is this right?”

Lance takes in a long breath, and risks a glance. “Keith” is wearing his hoodie, zipped up to his neck, and mercifully extending halfway down his thighs. How Lance ended up a bit taller than the cryptid is a question that just piles itself messily on top of the heap of questions already overloading his brain.

“You came back.” Keith smiles, possibly even more stunning wearing Lance’s hoodie, and, fuck, he’s staring again.

“Back, yes, I did, back, yes.” Oh great, Lance laments internally, he’s off to a fantastic start. Probably would’ve been less painful if Keith had eaten him.

quintessential 'Keith turns more Galra looking after his fight with the druid so he runs away from Voltron' AU except with the twist that his dad didn't die so he grew up knowing that he was half-Galra and has always had the ability to shift his form back and forth, but the exposure to quintessence + the corrupted wormhole locked him in his Galra form so now he's just jumping from civilian port to civilian port, figuring he might as well try and track down the Blade of Marmora since he can't go back to Voltron.

meanwhile, they're all looking for him, since he sent the red lion back to the Castle without him. the red lion thinks he's being stupid, but doesn't tattle on him bc she's not a snitch.

meanwhile meanwhile, Keith hasn't been successful at finding the Blade of Marmora, but he did find another rebellion... and wait. is that Matt.

(matt: huh. that galra kid has the same haircut as Shiro's baby brother. what a weird coincidence.)

#also heath and keith tell adam the truth about the aliens bc he deserves to know #they CONSIDER telling Colleen and Katie bc they do too but. well. they don't know them personally #and the Garrison IS kind of looking for the golden eyed cryptid that haunts the desert around the area... (which is of course. keith) #shiro and keith still get super close at the garrison bc shiro takes one look at this kid and is like. is no one going to mentor that

Chapter Disclaimer: I don't own the supernatural creatures listed in the beginning

Summary: Vampire Keith turns an of age Pidge. 

Author Note: This is Kidge with vampire Keith and of age Pidge and was requested by Cmdr_fil.

"A Turn of Events"

Keith never thought he would ever turn someone, especially since he didn't even drink from people. He usually frequented a local blood bank that was friendly to supernatural beings that required blood like vampires, iimpundulu, asema, and the strigoi. Just like vampires, there were some blood sucking creatures that preferred not to take from people. Keith had met a few in passing when he started going to the blood bank. (He even saw a chupacabra once!)

That night started like every other night with Keith waking up and heading to the blood bank. Once he obtained his bag of blood, which he drank there, he normally would take a walk in the city, before going back home. However, he found himself at a park entrance. He cautiously made his way into the park, unsure of what led him there.

There was a smell that wafted over to Keith. He recognized it and relaxed slightly with a small smile on his face. It was his girlfriend, Katie. He had met her online under the name of Pidge on a cryptid website. She was passionate about her beliefs, which initially drew Keith to her. He knew beings that had lived for centuries that didn't have the enthusiasm of an eighteen-year-old tech wiz.

It had been a gamble telling and later showing Katie what he was, but it paid off as she didn't shun him. She got to know him and he her, which involved evening dates. However, it wasn't supposed to be that night, which put Keith slightly on edge. Why was Katie there?

He was about to call out to her when he caught the scent of something he hadn't immediately identified. His eyes narrowed as the scent seemed to be following Katie like it was stalking her. Keith tensed as he was worried about his girlfriend's safety as he finally identified the scent. It was the scent of a fellow blood drinker, a jiangshi.

He was so focused on the jiangshi that he almost didn't catch the scent of the hiding sasabonsam. He tensed as Katie unknowingly walked under the tree the sasabonsam was hiding in.

Katie hadn't originally had the night off from work, but she worked a shift during the day, so her boss let her have the night off, and she figured she might surprise Keith. She never thought she'd fall for a vampire, but maybe she wasn't entirely surprised. She was passionate about the existence of cryptids, which some people don't believe vampires were a part of. Katie wasn't one of them and was elated to have the knowledge of their existence. She was a lover of knowledge and the process of learning. She always wished she could have the time to learn more.

Cutting across the park was supposed to be a shortcut, and it turned out to be a misstep. She didn't have the enhanced senses her boyfriend did, so she didn't notice either of the blood suckers that closed in on her and eventually attacked.

The sasabonsam jumped down on top of her, and not wasting any time in plunging its iron fangs into the junction between her left shoulder and neck. Katie screamed in shock and pain but was still aware of a thump-thump-thump sound she had somehow not noticed before. A second set of fangs sinking into the other side of her neck wrenched another scream from the teenager.

Katie's screams enraged Keith, who immediately jumped into action. He grabbed the sasabonsam and ripped its wings off one at a time and snapped its neck with hardly any trouble. He turned to the jiangshi, grabbing it by its hair, which ripped off the decomposing creature. This incensed the raven-haired vampire more and managed to wrap his hand around its neck and tear it away from Katie. He crushed its throat, snapping its neck in one motion.

A wheezing sound caught his attention, hi dropping the dead jiangshi as he turned back to the mortally wounded Katie. He dropped to his knees as his eyes roved over her injuries. The level of emotion in his eyes told Katie that Keith knew what she had already figured out. She was dying.

"At...least...I got...to see you...again," Katie rasped.

Keith gently dragged his cold fingertips down her face in a caress. "I don't want you to leave me."

"We...can't...help that."

"Katie." There was a pause before Keith continued. "If..."

"If...?"

"What about if I turn you?"

"Yes."

The certainty in Katie's voice startled Keith. It hadn't taken her any time in responding to his query. Had she even thought about the ramifications of being turned or was she terrified of death? No, his girlfriend wasn't terrified of dying. Not much terrified her (except for running out of peanut butter).

"Are you sure?"

"Just do it." Katie closed her eyes.

Keith let out a deep breath, more to steady himself than out of any actual necessity, in order to collect his thoughts. He leaned over and as gently as he could slipped his fangs into an unblemished section of Katie's neck.

The gasp that escaped the teen almost caused Keith to dislodge his fangs, but he stayed put. Turning someone wasn't something done light or quickly. The transfer of blood was vital but had to be done in exact timing and sequence or it could end up killing the human. As Katie was dying, it seemed worth it.

After Keith had drank from her for three minutes, he pulled back. He licked his fangs clean as he counted silently to five before digging one of his nails into the opposite wrist. Once he created an opening, he positioned his wrist in front of Katie's mouth, urging her to drink a little.

"Just a mouthful, Katie. Please."

Katie managed to get a mouthful before Keith's wrist healed itself. She swallowed, gagging slightly at the taste of the blood, and minutes later, her body started convulsing. Keith managed to keep ahold of her so she didn't hit her head on the ground as her body changed.

Her skin gradually lost what little color she had to begin with, and Keith could feel her warmth fading as well. He could feel her breathing slow hear and feel her heartbeat diminish.

As he watched his girlfriend change into a vampire, Keith started to worry that she would be angry with him for turning her. He knew it was the only way to save her life and that she agreed to it, but that didn't mean that she couldn't be angry at him. Katie was scary on a regular night; Keith was sure he didn't want to face an angry Katie on this particular night.

While Keith was noticing the changes his girlfriend was going under, said girlfriend was experiencing the worst pain in her life. Every time she thought she was feeling the worst pain in her life, she was proven wrong. She thought having a long splinter being removed from her foot without anesthesia was bad, but then she broke her arm. She had thought /that/ was bad, but then she was hit with debilitating cramps during her monthly cycles. However, she was fairly certain she was experiencing the worst pain ever.

It had started all at once. There was a tightening in her chest like she couldn't catch her breath. The tightening spread to her extremities, the pressure increasing the longer it went on. Then, just when it seemed like her bones would crack under the pressure, it disappeared, only to be replaced by waves of pain. She couldn't place where it had started, only that she was engulfed in a matter of seconds. That was when she started convulsing. She was vaguely aware of Keith's arms holding her, glad he was there with her, but her thoughts were consumed by even more pain followed by an immense coldness that was so cold it burned. Katie wasn't sure if she could handle any more pain, when it suddenly stopped, and she ceased convulsing. Then, her body went extremely rigid, not even a muscle could twitch. Katie wanted to scream, but she couldn't even open her mouth. Then, everything went black.

The next thing she was aware of was the sensation of a hand running through her short hair. She managed to open her eyes, which landed on Keith, who looked...apprehensive? Katie wasn't sure that was the right word, but it was as close as she would get without knowing what was wrong.

"Keith?"

"Katie, how do you feel?" Keith helped her sit up.

"Sore, honestly...and the park seems different."

"The soreness will fade, and the differences are due to your senses being enhanced."

Keith's answers seemed almost hesitant. "Keith, what's wrong?"

"Are-are you angry with me?"

"What? Why would you think that?"

"Because I turned you."

"I'm not angry. After all, I did agree to it."

"But, why?"

"You know I've always had an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and never had enough time to learn everything I wanted to and now, I do! Plus I can even experience the changes the future holds. Imagine the advances in technology!"

Keith couldn't help but chuckle at Katie's excitement over new tech. Neither of them had even considered this turn of events happening, but now that it had, both were looking forward to their future together.

Dumont Children 🌲💕 Briar would absolutely get the kids together for some holiday photos and Celeste, Grayson's biggest fan, would demand making one photo specifically for him. Keith has to put his own twist on it but he won't ruin his little sister's excitement. Mushroom is just enjoying a moment to rest his tired bones, not minding the thorough teeth examination by one of the triplets. These characters belong to both myself and @madericious .

i just want to know who in the holy hell of the voltron fandom came up with the hc that keith is a cryptid geek??? now whenever i think of mothman mr kogane invades the most private parts of my mind

Even more Keith headcannons because my health is getting even worse

- if he feels safe, he can fall asleep literally anywhere

- if you can’t find him, it’s very likely he’s just chilling on a roof somewhere

- he was the type of kid to eat bugs off the ground

- he used to bite people as a kid and since he has sharp teeth he’s caused a lot of damage

- he can see really well in the dark and so he never really bothers to turn lights on. The amount of times Shiro and Adam have found him cooking in the middle of the night in the dark is astounding

- can drive anything, you give him a set of controls and he will figure it out in seconds

- one time he refused to eat anything but animal crackers for two straight weeks, Shiro was so done

- since he grew up in the desert he never learned how to swim. He never mentioned this to anyone and one time he went to the lake with Shiro and Adam and almost drowned

- he chews on his lip a lot and since his teeth are so sharp it’s a miracle he hasn’t bitten through them

- if you wake him up you will end up with a knife to your throat, it’s a reflex and I can’t be stopped

- plays the knife game when he gets bored and has almost given Shiro multiple heart attacks

- if you leave him alone for a second he will wander off, Shiro learned this the hard way it involved an alligator, a tree, and Keith getting a new tooth to add to his collection

- he gets sensory overload very easily, he will start mumbling and get ready irritated, just get him some headphones and turn the lights off and he’ll feel better

- has a very high pain tolerance and Shiro has had to drag him kicking and screaming to the nurses office on multiple occasions for a broken bone he said “wasn’t a big deal”

keith, on the phone, sitting on the toilet and panting: and i thought i was dying, it was tERRIBLE and ugh, im never eating ice cream again. The most explosive shit in my life, seriously, if i ever buy anything dairy again just punch me in the gut, it will be less painful than what's happening right now— [goes on with graphic descriptions of his lactose intolerance and bad consequences]

shiro, on his date with adam, with candles and rose petals, and a ring in his pocket, picked up the call because Keith almost never calls, so he panicked bc thought it was something urgent:

Got all sappy for the holidays and did a bunch of snowy klance cryptid au art.

Lance discovers that Keith can fly and convinces his new grumpy cryptid friend to leave his waterfall and go see snow for the 1st time. Keith can't get over the frozen water falling from the sky. Lance: "Wait. You can FLY?!" Keith: /shrugs/ Lance: "But... you don't have wings. How do you fly without wings?" Keith: "I feel like you're missing the concept of magical being here."

Also, two flavors of "You're cold, let me help with that" and at least one "oh" moment.

what do you mean, you don't even own a laptop????

#keith: what would I need the internet for? #pidge: social media??????? #keith: oh. no thanks. #any social media vld au where keith has even a single social media account is inaccurate #he's just a ghost online #the cryptid in the background of all of the other paladin's photos

Its body was trapped in a state between decomposition and flourishing, with branches and leaves growing out from the empty hollows of its rotten flesh; its back legs almost seemed to drag behind it, as if it did not recognize them as part of its body; its eyes, almost seeming to glow from the darkness of the woods, held something frighteningly human within them, as if there was something trapped behind; and its face, too animal to be human and yet too human to be animal, wearing upon it a pained expression. When it moved, as did the antlers on its head, which almost seemed to weigh it down with their sheer size. This was the fate that had befallen Keith Devland.
