I have spoiled myself on the OG S.W.O.R.D gangs + leaders, and now feel that they have become sadly overlooked by all the newer characters from the newer movies (not saying that's a bad thing! I am well aware that everybody's got their somethin'...or someone *cough*!)

The Rude Boys have stolen my heart, now...and Pi, Takeshi, and Yu are fighting over it. Oh, and Hyuga is, too, but he's silently fighting from afar. Meanwhile, Smokey is currently trying to look after my lost soul and is nagging at me to get some sleep...and the leaders of Doubt are pouting and glaring because I'm not stopping the Rude Boys from fighting over my heart.

I am, for whatever reason, aching for any kind of Halloween fic with the OG HiGH&LOW x reader, and there is very sadly nothing! And I can't write it because my brain is already focused on the first HiGH & LOW fanfic that I'm working on...and I never considered myself good at writing headcanons/imagines/scenarios, anyway...except for that one I wrote for Hyuga if he had a little sister who got exhausted and hangry over chores because she didn't want to do them. Fun fact: I also wrote that when I was lacking so much sleep and I was beyond tired.

Pi, Takeshi, Yu, and Shion don't seem to get enough attention.

I think it's very funny that the show set up both Shiro AND Keith as potential love interests for Allura in the early seasons (giving them both solo-missions alone with her, giving them both little side plots/quirks that connect them kinda thing) and giving Lance absolutely nothing. i never watched past season 4 so i hope they Stopped That in later seasons.

It is interesting to see that Keith is next to never portrayed as being "girl crazy" in any way, him or Shiro (this early in the show they can't have had the idea to make Shiro gay yet). Like, Hunk and Lance both constantly fall all over themselves over pretty girls (Lance, duh, but Hunk with Shay and whatnot) but Keith is always left out of it. I'm still hung up on this whole "canonical ages" thing too so it makes me wonder if that's meant to be a hint - like Lance/Hunk are still in the 15/16/17 age range where they're a little more immature whereas Keith/Shiro are closer to the 19/20/21 age range where they're more mature. Shiro is obviously the eldest - he's least likely to get drawn into shenanigans, but he does still sometimes (the spore fight before the Olkari, when they're all making gunfire noises at one point) which to me reads as someone who's still not quite solidly settled into being an adult yet, which reads as younger twenties, not mid twenties.

IDK. I really love figuring this kind of shit out based only on like, context clues, but I also understand that everyone's got different ideas for what means what, and I've never really been one to understand ages and different maturity levels anyway.

I think that Shiro is the eldest as 21-23, Keith is the second oldest at 19/20, and then Lance/Hunk are 16/17 and Pidge (who I DID just type as Bitch accidentally whoops sorry Pidge I love you so much) is the youngest at 14/15. This is based partially on the SUPPOSEDLY canonical ages from that one unconfirmed paladins guide thing, and my own thoughts on how the characters interact/their demonstrated maturity levels. Plus - Keith says "you're like a brother to me" to Shiro, which I think demonstrates they're closer in age. He'd have said father or mentor if Shiro was that much older than him - Keith sees Shiro as somebody he can look up to, but also somebody he can goof around with and whatnot.
