For day 3 of @vldtenyearanniversaryfest, on the theme “Yellow Lion”.

The Yellow Lion has a mighty heart. Hunk, not so much. Or so he thinks.

i know the whole lion change would fuck up that but idek if this makes sense it just came to me when i was ab to nap so like swimmer lance is a fireee headcanon for that reason and idrk what kinda thing could’ve happened regarding the elemental power of earth for hunk but id love to hear theories and shit

also idk what element the black lion is guys it’s never explicitly gone through or stated but i’ve seen ppl say it’s like space/ the sky meaning it could be like air but if it’s space oriented that would also fit with shiro being a genuine pilot and then getting kidnapped in space

Lion Force, assemble! Still gives me chills — the original Voltron lineup, the roaring lions, and that perfect blend of teamwork and heroism. Rewatching the classics and remembering why these pilots (and their giant robot) shaped so many Saturday mornings. Which lion was your favorite — Black for leadership, Red for fire, Blue for heart, Green for grit, or Yellow for strength? Share your top Voltron memory below. 🦁⚔️✨

About how they made their Lions feel like home (Hunk ver.)

💛Thanks to him, the Yellow Lion is the cleanest of all. Competing only with the Blue.

💛Over time, his medkit grew massive—he kept adding things “just in case.” One day, Lance wasn’t feeling well, but they were too scared to tell Coran. So Hunk offered to check on him himself. Together, they went through the medkit, searching for what Lance might need. It turned out to be so overstocked, they ended up reorganizing the whole thing. By the time they were done, they had created three separate, smaller medkits—one for everyday use, one for emergencies, and one labeled “Lance probably.”

💛He dragged in way too many blankets and pillows. But Yellow continues to say that it’s even safer this way.

💛He set up a corner inside the Lion just for the team, where he collects small things from everyone: spare parts from Pidge, a stone gifted by Keith, and a stack of photos just as tall as Lance’s.

💛At some point, Yellow revealed hidden compartments where Hunk could stash tons of snacks (and he totally pretends he doesn’t know that Lance and Pidge sneak in to grab some).

disclaimer: i haven't watched voltron in almost seven years, i don't remember much anymore, so don't overthink any of these placements, this is just for fun :3

i have two variations bc neither of them feels completely right so one of them doesn't make sense for robby and the other doesn't make sense for hawk, have your pick
