Day 6: Downtime

Day 6: Downtime

Rosabell likes to read over their training status and find points of need-of-improvement from watching recordings of themself, or read different literature — human or alien alike. They do this as they drink their tea. Another thing they like to do while they read is make new sorts of tea mixes. Sometimes they end well, other times… Uh… Not so much.

P.S. There’s a message, can you decipher it? Hint under the cut!

"I'll never get tired of the blue sky" — Vincent Van Gogh Felt like this was appropriate for our homesick space baby Lance~ and now this became a full-blown art project for the space family...

   I can’t draw all my Shiro and Keith adopted brothers au out so I’m just putting some of my super self-indulgent headcanons/ ideas here. Also a reminder in case I do draw some of these out

When they were kids Keith got into space because Shiro read him his textbooks about piloting stuff™ like bedtime stories. Soon he starts collecting a hoard of any text related to space (like NASA newspaper clippings) under his bed

Shiro bullied Keith a lot growing up but was forgiven everytime by making Keith laugh. (He’d usually do thing where you pull the back of your shirt over your head to make yourself look like jay jay the jet plane)

They used to pretend to have gunbattles but stopped when they got too into it and Keith mcfreaking hit his head on a table trying to dodge

Shiro always buys Keith those freaky looking spongebob popsicles to cheer him up, even when Keith is a teenager

They both had the asain melon bowlcut ™ but only Shiro has photographic evidence

The first time Keith beat Shiro at mario kart he was 10 and Shiro cried

At the Garrison Keith didn’t like talking about how they lost their parents and if you tried asking Shiro the story changed everytime

Shiro’s “dad vibe” and skills come from practically raising Keith on his own and both of them secretly hate the fact that he’s more of a dad than a big brother now

Shiro keeps a huge photo album by his bed back at the Garrison that’s just full of pictures of Keith as a kid that he hopes to show off to to Keith’s husband one day (if not, then it’s just good blackmail material)

Shiro got the red jacket and fingerless gloves for Keith’s birthday because they “made him look like a pokemon ranger” and Keith shoves it into the back of his closet but starts wearing them daily when his brother goes missing

Keith got kicked out because he did what Pidge did and he punched the shit out of Iverson for lying about what happened to his bro 

The reason Shiro was staring blankly at the sun outside the shack in episode 1 was because in the year he was gone his little brother got kicked out of school, became a hobo, and started living in a shack in the desert and he was contemplating where he went wrong in his psuedo parenting

Keith tries to threaten his big bro by saying he’ll tell the other paladins what a bully he was to him as a kid and Shiro just laughs “They’ll never believe you.”

The other paladins just thought they were oddly close and don’t realize they’re brothers until one day Keith does something stupid again and Shiro’s yelling “Keith Kogane Shirogane, if you don’t knock that shit off-” and everyone’s like ??????? what??? and then the brothers are like “oh wait they don’t know oops”

The bros thrive off of teasing the other about their crushes. At the castle ship Shiro won’t stop pretending to swoon dramatically with a hand on his chest and say “I cradled you in my arms, Lance. We bonded!” when they have alone time and Keith slowly dies every time he brings it up.

"If you want to hide it, paint it red." — Bradley Henderson Am I low-key hinting at Galra!Keith? Maybe...

hc: everyone can handle spicy food, the only one who has a slightly lower limit is hunk

but plot twist, allura and coran get really excited when they get to a planet where this one fruit grows and apparently it’s supposed to be the hottest fruit in the galaxy known to melt the tongues off even the toughest of aliens

the paladins try it and…..it’s ok?

it’s not as bad as they said it would be, even hunk is like “are you sure this isn’t a bell pepper?”

but when allura and coran try it cause they think maybe they’re wrong, they run crying to the lavatories, fire basically coming out of their mouths and they’re like “what’s WRONG with you?! how can you eat this like berries!?”

and they look at each other and are like “wasabi”
