keith and his time with the blade of marmora

• on wednesdays they wear pink
• ‘oh no this door is locked. however will we get past?’ keith, a part-time criminal: ‘not to worry’
• they form a cheerleader pyramid with keith at the top cos he’s the smallest
• kolivan: ‘why did you leave your team? they are your family are they not?’ keith thinking about the spider he found on his ceiling: ‘i just had to get out of there’
• their ears wiggle when they sneeze
• ‘kolivan, when did you join the blade of marmalade?’
• they have a duel where the winner gets to braid keith’s hair, because it’s the softest thing they’ve ever touched
• marinade member: ‘what did you used to do on your old planet, black paladin?’ keith: ‘i uhhh…i used to collect furbies’
• majorca member: ‘what are they?’ keith: ‘vicious creatures. feared by many and with a terrible reputation’
• marmite member: ‘wow…so you were a great warrior?’ keith looking into the camera like he’s on the office: ’…yes’
• keith gets his own blade of mango flannel pyjamas and fuzzy purple slippers
• ‘kolivan, did you know my mother?’ ‘yes. when she yawned she would also say the word yawn out loud’
• keith gasping: ‘exactly like me’
• keith teaches them a team chant which goes ‘i say mar- and you say -mora! mar-!’ every blade member yelling at once ‘marmora!!’
• there are framed photos of thace, ulaz, antok, and regris in the dining room with the caption ‘rip in pieces’
• keith doesn’t tie his bangs back because the Aesthetic™. at mealtimes the blade watches in amazement as his hair flies into his mouth and he struggles to spit it out for 40 minutes
• ‘i’m keith and this is my boyband, the blade of margarine’
• he sits on their shoulders to reach shelves, because everything is taller than him
• ‘keith, do you have feelings for anyone on your team?’ ‘uh, kinda. you know lance?’ every blade member at once: ‘ooooooooh’
• kolivan: ‘brothers and sisters, cease! we must not tease keith for his strong romantic attachment to the red paladin’ keith, cheeks pink: ‘thanks’
• kolivan in a whisper: ‘you must tell me every single small detail’
• they allow keith to fold their ears inside out
• they formally introduce him as Keith Kogane, Black Paladin of Voltron, Warrior of Texas, Herder of Chickens
• ‘we are the blade of mustard and this is our small human son’
• one morning he sees them spray painting their skin purple and bursts into tears
