Raising Paladins Headcanons
Some lovely headcanons for if Lance develops a not so subtle crush on Pidge. @rueitae asked for it and you can quiznaking believe I’ll deliver. It’ll cover the main family she knows and loves, even Sendak. So! Without further ado!
He knows Lance and though a goofball, he knows Lance would be good
He would give the usual “if you hurt her I will hurt you, that’s a promise and not a threat” talk
He may tease Lance constantly about it, but he means well
“Don’t worry, buddy, I’ll find out if she likes you, too.”
“Wait, what? You like her!? As in… like that?!”
Extremely protective over Pidge; they’re like siblings
Will try to block Pidge from Lance’s view
Pupils shrink in agitation when he sees them interact more closely than they should as paladins (as in sitting close to play video games or Lance knitting Pidge a scarf and putting it on her; it’s innocent but he doesn’t care)
May get aggressive at times but won’t actually threaten or hurt Lance
He vents to Kullo and is afraid that Pidge will leave them for a possible boyfriend
“I can see what’s happening and they don’t have a clue, they’ll fall in love and here’s the bottom line, our trio’s down to two.”
Doesn’t know if this is a fleeting crush or serious
Will tell Lance a few things about Pidge that she likes to help him bond with her more
Thinks Lance is a nice guy
May give tips on how some Galra court each other
Will teach Lance a few affectionate terms and phrases in the Galran language
Talks cries to Kolivan about this
“She’s fifteen! I know even Galrans have little loves like that at that age, even younger, but she’s my baby girl!”
Asks the others about Lance to determine if he is the right guy for Pidge
Talks to Pidge to make sure she doesn’t jump right in and marry the first guy (Lance) who asks her on a date
Also teaches Pidge how to handle a guy and reminds her to hit him if anything goes wrong
Is not afraid to give Lance “the shovel talk”
Will watch Lance closely to make sure he’s not up to something
Does not approve of Lance or anyone for that matter
“You want to date my daughter, then you must fight me for her honor! Victory or death!”
Openly threatens promises harm upon Lance, especially if he does anything wrong
He’s got one good eye and you can bet he’ll keep it on Lance
“I don’t know how to program, but I will learn and I will program a sentry to keep you away if I must.”
If Pidge one day decides she really likes Lance and wants to date him and asks Sendak not to be mean, he will be putty in her hands and treat Lance like a member of the family
This would terrify Lance and make him wary and worried that Sendak kill him at any given moment
But wait. We’re missing the most important part about these headcanons.
“Um… what? Like me? I mean we’re friends but...”
Is confused and not sure how to handle things
Probably asks Coran or Allura for advice because they would be more impartial on the subject
If Pidge likes him, she would try to tell Lance in the Galran way
She would probably be nervous and flustered, not sure if she was doing things right or not
She may run away and hide in a pile of stuffed toys
If Pidge doesn’t like him, she won’t make it awkward but she’ll also try not to make it painful on Lance
she would continue being his friend and work well alongside him as paladins
Well, I hope you guys enjoyed these headcanons.
Keep in mind, we don’t know what will come of this AU and if crushes and ships will happen or not, but it’s sometimes fun to go over these little things. So! Thank you, Rue, for wanting these, it was fun to work on. And I hope everyone else liked them.
