Part 3

There was a strange feeling in the air when they arrived.

Lance could feel it as plainly as if it were static electricity crackling across his skin, raising the hair on his arms. He followed quietly next to Hunk, who was happily chatting away about nothing in particular as they walked through the Garrison hangar.

They had landed late in the evening, securing a last-minute spot for Hunk’s ship thanks to Iverson’s influence, which meant there wasn’t a big crowd milling about. Lance was grateful for that. The atmosphere was tense enough without bumping against people as they walked.

“…think that’s Keith’s ship?” Hunk asked. “Oh, hey! There’s your sister!”

Lance would have to be blind to not see Keith’s ship. It was all sharp, sleek angles and crafted with black metals, just like every other Galra ship, and sharply contrasted against the gray and orange of the Galaxy Garrison.

Veronica was standing near the open ramp, waving to someone. She turned away with a smile on her face and froze in her tracks the moment she recognized them.

“Lance!”

He lifted his hand in greeting. “Hey.”

Veronica made her way over to them. “Is that the kind of greeting you give your favorite sister? I haven’t seen you in months! ‘Hey’, he says.”

Hunk stifled his laughter behind his hands.

Her gaze softened as she looked them over. “It’s good to see you both. Do you have a place to stay while you’re here? We’re a little tight on space, but I’m sure we can figure something out.”

“We’re just going to stay on the Teuila,” Hunk told her. “Our rooms are actually pretty nice and I think everyone will be more comfortable that way.”

Veronica nodded in understanding. “Keith and his crew said the same thing, but I figured it would be best to offer. What about you, Lance? You can come room with me while you’re here.”

The offer was tempting, but Lance was going to take advantage of having a room all to himself while he was away from the family farm. It was nice to relax without anyone barging in at all hours of the day.

“As much as I love your couch, I think I’ll pass this time,” Lance said.

“I’m here if you change your mind. So, where are you two off to? Not getting into trouble already, are you?” Veronica asked teasingly.

“We’re going to go visit Pidge and her family. We made better time than I expected, so we want to surprise her,” Hunk said.

“That might be a little difficult, since she’s out with Keith right now,” Veronica said.

Lance and Hunk stared at her for a moment and then exchange a confused look before turning their attention back to Veronica and asking, in unison: “What?”

reblog if you would honestly rather see a filmed version of the show (like newsies) than a movie

There is a little noticed fact about voltron.... one of the first people Keith smiles for and at is PIDGE!

Yes and not only that! He smiles for her actually more than once (quite often in Keith’s case) and every time he does that, it’s always so soft and heartwarming expression of fondness  ❤️ 💚

I mean, just look at that soft boy

how could somebody possibly think

that Keith doesn’t care

about his fellow teammate

that saved him a couple of times and is literally the brain of the team

Also, I had to update this list with screens from season 7 because these are the purest things you will ever see

Oikawa’s toss in S2E24

I just wanted to analyze the iwaoi scene where Oikawa tosses across to Iwaizumi (who doesn’t score) so here I go! (pls bear in mind that this is only my personal interpretation of the scene)

When Oikawa was pointing to the direction he was going to toss towards, he placed absolute trust in Iwaizumi that he would definitely hit it no matter what; as he said before, Iwaizumi always hits Oikawa’s tosses without fail (some time in S1). It’s not that he placed a burden or responsibility on Iwaizumi, but that he believed and trusted that Iwaizumi would be able to hit it regardless.

Look at the way Oikawa’s tossing it and look at the trajectory of ball. That was an abrupt turn-and-toss added on to toss that was all performed in the blink of an eye, and he already tossed it so that the ball would fall perfectly at Iwaizumi’s peak spiking point by he time Iwaizumi ran directly forwards. Not only does this show pure skill and that it means Oikawa knows his playing style like the back of his hand, but it also suggests that he made Iwaizumi’s spiking easier by tossing it so that he only needed to run straight up to spike it.

Oikawa pointed and tossed perfectly to him, thus placing all of his trust on him that he would score, that he would make it. It almost seems as if Oikawa himself didn’t even think much about himself in that moment, and I think that reflects how well they know each other and the perfect synergy they’ve adopted throughout years of training together. Oikawa did whatever he could in order to ensure Iwaizumi could hit the ball, which ultimately involved him crashing into the side benches afterwards.

When Oikawa got back up again so quickly after falling into the chairs, I was slightly confused at why he recovered so rapidly, as each team is only allowed to touch the ball 3 times, and no player can be in contact with the ball more than once before it goes over the net (or so I believe), in which Oikawa had just tossed the ball. And then I realized. It’s uncertainty and fear. Oikawa is scared that he didn’t provide the perfect toss for Iwaizumi. He’s so anxious to the point where he doesn’t even look at where his feet are positioned before he gets up, only to fall again by tripping on the cloth. It goes to show that he wants to get up and ensure that Iwaizumi manages a successful spike regardless of how he is himself.

And then there’s his face; he’s desperate and scared. I realized that he might’ve looked this way because he was afraid that he HIMSELF didn’t toss the ball properly, and didn’t trust himself that he had made the perfect toss for Iwaizumi to hit it, despite their perfect mental sync and synergy. I guess it just goes to show how even though Oikawa is evidently talented and highly skilled, there are still moments when he wavers and cannot rely solely on his instinct and experience, and there will be times that their entire team may lose (which they do, but that’s not the point) because of this fear, perhaps.

It’s not as if he doesn’t have the whole layout of the court and Iwaizumi’s spiking habits memorized, but it may be that he doesn’t trust himself enough to acknowledge that the toss was perfect for Iwaizumi and literally “dead on”. Perhaps it goes to show that Oikawa isn’t as confident and self-aware as he may appear to be, and that he has yet to acknowledge and realize the full extent of his ability.

A/N: Requested by anon. Thank you immensely for your patience! I had a lot of fun writing this story for you, and I hope you are able to enjoy it. I’ve not shared your request photo here as I want to keep some of the conclusion not as obvious!

Taking a seat on the bench, you fished out your notebook and a pen blindly, your eyes glued to the subject in full. You couldn’t help the smile that spread across your lips as you continued your gaze, a small sigh of content leaving you.

Hwang Minhyun.

You were certain there was nothing he did in life that you didn’t find attractive. Even though you weren’t one for sports, especially the likes of Taekwondo, you could watch him all day long. He wasn’t the type you would initially assume would play the sport, he was tall and slender compared to some of the other members of the university team, but you knew he was strong. You had, after all, watched him take down multiple people at competitions and in this practice hall countless times. Just thinking of how strong his arms must be could lead you to giddy fantasies of them being wrapped around you and protecting you from the world.

He was the weakness to your otherwise exemplary student life. You regarded yourself as level-headed, studious and a great member of the campus student council. You were one of the main editors of the newspaper and you were known for keeping your cool in all situations that needed reporting.
