Why aren’t people utilizing the goldmine of “Humans Are the Weird
Ones” posts on this site for inspiration for Voltron content?? I need a
Sgt. Stabby the Space Roomba aboard the Castle of Lions, STAT!!

…okay but seriously, a lot of the content from the “Humans Are Space Australians” discussion can actually really apply to the Voltron universe!

• So far, we’ve never seen a planet with as wide a range of weather conditions as ours. Some are hot, some are cold, some are forested, some are turbulent, but they all seem to have one predominant weather condition
• The Galra Empire was absolutely floored by Shiro’s performance in the Arena, which gives credence to some of the discussion headcanons about humans being pretty durable compared to most races and/or humans being one of only a few races that have a high adrenaline response to danger
• We haven’t seen any body modifications beyond some ear piercings on any alien species as far as I know, so we could still get to watch an absolutely horrified Allura as Shiro explains what a tattoo is
• Sgt. Stabby is the lovechild of Pidge and Keith and you can’t possibly convince me otherwise
• Seriously, why aren’t people writing about the Galra trying to invade earth?? Imagine the potential. Bears. Imagine bears attacking Galra scouts. Imagine the doomed party sent to conquer Australia. Imagine the vessels sent down to explore the depths of the ocean that never come back up again. Imagine Galra absolutely baking in the desert because they have fur, dammit. Just… Imagine
• Also imagine Galra up against human military forces. Imagine the Galra being absolutely shocked because they were completely unprepared for Scorched Earth Policy. Imagine them being horrified that humans would fire nuclear weapons on their own planet!! purely to make sure that the Galra can’t stay.
• Imagine aliens being utterly perplexed by Pidge’s glasses
• If milkshakes are such a horrifying concept to Alteans, I wonder what other earth delicacies would make Allura and Coran want to go throw up. I’m picturing seafood, especially. We do literally eat fish eggs. I imagine that would probably seriously gross out the Alteans
• Braces are a horrifying concept, and I need to see one of the alien friends reacting properly to hearing about them
• What if hair dye simply isn’t a thing in space? Imagine the aliens being really confused when the white part of Shiro’s hair suddenly becomes as dark as the rest of it
• What if
  L’appel du vide, the call of the void, that random desire to do something objectively horrifying such as stabbing your friend or jumping off a cliff… what if that only happens to humans?
• Smoking is such a weird concept, objectively speaking. Like, wait, you know that this is likely to kill you eventually, yet you continue to do it?? Cue a very concerned Uncle Coran making each Paladin promise to never ever smoke. Shiro doesn’t have the heart to tell him that he did indeed try a few cigarettes in the past (though he never regularly smoked), so he just nods and sincerely promises Coran that he will never smoke in the future
• What if humans are the only ones to space out and/or have temporary memory lapses (aka “brain farts”)?
• Picture Pidge doing “Rubber Duck Debugging” where she’s talking through some buggy code and telling everything to some small inanimate object (maybe a plant). Now picture Pidge finally figuring out what was wrong, fixing the error, and going on to do something else. Picture Allura or Coran watching this entire process, utterly perplexed
• And much, much more!

I think you get the point. Now, go forth into the world, make some “Humans Are the Weird Ones” Voltron content, and tag me in it so I can see it!
