hunk headcanons that have nothing to do with food!
he likes to wear skirts! one time he and lance coordinated an outfit together and wore it to school and they were treated like supermodels with their pretty flowy skirts
he can take apart a computer and rebuild it in 10 minutes flat, but if you ask him to how to do something in google docs he’ll shrug and leave because he doesn’t have time to figure that shit out
he likes to learn new things but he also Hates Learning New Things, especially when it’s boring. he has to be super interested in order to pay attention
he picks at his nails A Lot. it’s a stim and also a nervous habit, and he hates it because sometimes he ends up hurting himself, but it helps him calm down!
he lives in the US, but a lot of his family still lives back in Samoa, so he goes to visit them every time he has a vacation
hunk makes puns because he loves to watch people suffer. there’s no other reason. if you don’t groan after his puns he’ll take it as a challenge
he’s the ultimate ride or die and if you hurt his friends he’s coming for your life
he’s low-empathy but he’ll be damned if he isn’t the most compassionate member on team voltron
he didn’t always want to be an engineer, and he’s always been pretty indecisive about what he wanted to do with his life. he settled on engineering mostly because he’s so adept with it, but he’s also tried to do a lot of other things!
when he was 4 he was certain he was going to be a firefighter. he gave this up when he realized it wasn’t just rescuing cats from trees
when he was 9 he wanted to be an architect, and then he realized he hates drawing
when he was 12 he wanted to be an astronaut, but he was afraid of flying, the dark, and heights, so that didn’t really work out (he still thinks about the terrible irony of this)
he settled on engineering when he was 15 because of both family pressure and his consistent record in being Truly Amazing with technology. he’s won every single science fair he’s ever entered!
hunk got his nickname from his parents because they wouldn’t stop calling him a “hunky monkey.” he hated the pet name at first, but when people started calling him hunk, it made him feel a lot more confident about himself and now he loves it!
he’s super unapologetic about his neurodivergence and he refuses to let anyone make him feel bad about not performing to neurotypical standards
he loves every single part of himself and he’s not afraid to show it!
