I love the LGBTQ+ Voltron stans and the Klance stans so much. They are honestly such a blessing. Because of how season seven ruined rep and did a bunch of characters dirty, @kciths and @captainlumin have come up with a reboot of Voltron called Defenders of Tomorrow. 

In this reboot, we get all of our main characters, except they have different names and almost all of them are lgbt+. Lance is Leandro, a bisexual born and raised in Cuba and Keith is Akira, a gay, Japanese-Filipino man. Shiro is Hachiko and is married to Dante, aka Adam. Allura is Alzina, she’s either pan or lesbian, that’s not confirmed yet. Romelle is Rowan, a lesbian and Pidge is Layla/Pana, I believe that they’re a genderfluid asexual. The names for the other characters haven’t been talked about yet. 

This reboot/headcanon is quite different from the Voltron we know now. It has a futuristic, cyber-punk theme and takes place in a city almost overrun with this reboot’s equivalent of galra. 

The creators have promised to make Leakira (LeandroxAkira) a canon endgame to makeup for the queerbaiting we experienced from VLD. Hachiko and Dante are also married, making up for VLD killing off Adam before we saw him and Shiro together. 

There are so many designs for Leandro and Akira right now, so I just want to go over my favorites.

Leandro:

-Has short, light brown curly hair

-Cuban

-Freckles

-Has an undercut

-Has a couple of piercings

-Bisexual

-Wears goggles to help with his sharpshooting

-Uses double handed pistols

-6′1

-He has Lance’s original jacket, but it’s way longer and baggier

-Wears a turtle neck and finger-less gloves

-Has thigh holsters for his pistols 

-He and Akira have matching tattoos

Akira:

-Japanese-Filipino

-Gay

-Still has a facial scar but it’s either lip or eyebrow insead

-His hair is always in a ponytail

-He wears a necklace that he got from his father before they were separated

-Has either helix or nose peircings

-His jacket is more like Leandro’s, except it’s completely red and is cropped. 

-Has a tattoo that matches Leandro’s

-Has fangs

-Has a super badass motorcycle and likes to work with bikes
