allura on earth headcanons

– she likes the most overdone jokes earth has to offer. keith has lost the count of how many times she woke him up via phone call just to ask if his cooling machine is still running.

– lance’s mom: “how are you enjoying your stay darling?” allura: “it’s been wonderful so far!! i’m especially fond of your air spitters.” lance’s mom: “our what now.” allura, pointing at a hairdryer: “air spitters.”

– when they go grocery shopping she points at the man on a can of pringles with an immense amount of joy and asks hunk how humans had managed to find those pictures from coran’s old modeling gig.

– lance: “princess that’s not how a surfing board works. you can’t just ‘do a flip’ on your first try.” allura: “ok, but consider this: i’m gonna.”

– she most definitely owns multiple pairs of glittery light up skechers. when she got her first pair she stomped around the room the entire day until the battery drained out.

– shiro: “allura…please stop collecting random rats you see on the street.”  allura, while hiding five new rats under her coat: “i have no idea what you’re talking about.”

– two days after the team watches wonder woman during one of their movie nights hunk walks in on allura pretending her bayard is the lasso of truth and quoting lines from the movie.

– buying an ice popsicle, eating the entire thing in three bites and then watching everyone’s terrified reactions quickly becomes her favourite hobby

– lance helps her pick a sparkly lush shampoo and whenever she washes her hair she spins in circles until she’s dizzy, watching as it flies around her. (“why are you doing that?” “i believe lance calls it self care.”)

– she sends the paladins at least one student athlete meme a day. they’re not quite sure if she knows about the meme or if that’s just who she is as a person.

– pidge: “you are literally a magical alien princess who pilots a giant, sentient lion. why does this freak you out so much?” allura, flipping one of those baby bottle toys upside down for the twentieth time that morning: i don’t understand. where is the milk going? where is it coming from??“

– allura, wearing a pink party hat, children’s glasses and heelies while blowing bubbles in her strawberry juice with a straw: “i love earth culture.”

Hey, in your latest meta about Shiro you mentioned Lance and Shiro being a dangerous combo. Could you elaborate on that? Thank you!

Okay so one thing Pidge mentions in her analysis of Lance is he picks off ‘engaged targets’. Basically, Lance lets someone close-range- Keith, Pidge, or Shiro- get up in his enemies’ space and draw their attention- and then right when they might retaliate, oh, whoops, it’s Lance, thanks for ignoring him and standing there.

This is exactly what he does with Sendak in s1e5- Sendak’s under attack from Pidge, he turns his full attention towards her- bam, Lance hits him in the back.

And as I said about Shiro and his fighting style- Shiro is a harrier. Up against a foe that he can’t take down in a few hits, what he does is stick on them persistently and keep attacking, use his maneuverability and agility to stay with them, stay on them, block and parry and keep hitting their defenses. He’s the guy that won’t quit.

If you pair these two tendencies together, here’s what happens: you get two opponents. One of which, as soon as you take your attention off him, will shoot you with terrifying precision.

Okay, the natural thing to do is dodge your second opponent and come after him, take him out so you can focus on the other one without the sniping in the way.

Problem? Your second opponent is impossible to shake. He will follow you to the ends of the planet and he will not get tired. Hit him hard, toss him around, he’s back on his feet and back on you before you’ve so much as taken two steps towards his buddy. And he won’t let you breathe. You have to keep your focus on him because if you don’t he’ll probably take your head off with that thousand-degree knife hand, only you can’t do that because Lance is setting your butt on fire.
