Her parents are actually really good about The Trans Thing but they took a while to believe it because she was so much the stereotypical Young Boy with Autism
(good with computers since she was tiny, probably had a dinosaur phase)
Her family’s probably from up north but she constantly uses southern expressions constantly because she’s besties with Keith
(”y’all we need to separate and go abut this as individual lions” *something goes wrong in a code she’s writing* “Ain’t that just the way”)
Shiro’s Favorite
“Alright team, we all need to train really hard to defeat zarkon” “But Shiro I’m tired.” “alright pidge, you go take a nap, i’ll be there to tuck you in in a second.”
Number one clothes thief
The whole team (especially Hunk and Shiro) know to never spend too much on clothes because inevitably pidge will “borrow” them to sleep in/stay warm and they’ll never see them again
(shiro loves it though. he probably buys things just for her)
was probably just starting transition when we first saw her, so doing that thing practically all trans girls do where they start out hyper feminine just so people Know but she’s probably not all that femme as she gets older
patently refuses to wear anything other than boxers/boxer briefs
even under dresses
once the team ran into a group of humans who had gone into space, and one mentioned that they didn’t think a /girl/ could be a paladin
Pidge, looking him dead in the eyes:”ive got more balls than you”
cusses constantly
Biggest Lesbian
Lance (bless him) once asked her, when they were all really tired and it was like. Sleepover talk time you kno? He asked her “if she had to pick a guy”
She said Zarkon
(really it’s probably Hunk)
Speaking of lance and hunk she probably dropped Several Hints that she was trans and just. Neither got them.
Lance:*struggling to open a jar* Pidge:*pops it open with one movement* “How-” “testosterone poisoning”
Gets carried by keith constantly even though he’s not that much taller than her
Her and keith frequently have Autistic hangouts where they both just. Go nonverbal or communicate in noises or stim freely
They’re super comfortable with each other, she never wears breastforms/a bra when its just them and he never binds because they love each other
She’s really attentive and knows when he’s self injuriously stimming and knows when to give him a tangle or her hand so he can just. Squeeze instead of digging his nails into his palms/picking
Her and keith are. Bad skin buds
Saw the jersey devil once
It was just a cow
Was abducted by an alien once
it was keith
Speaking of keith, pidge is the only one allowed to touch/get anywhere near him when he’s on his period
“Pidge it started” “do you want a heating pad or some midol” “i want to die” “bitch why are you always ordering off the menu”
listen one of the BEST things about keith and shiro’s relationship is the fact that shiro is a young adult. shiro’s in his mid-twenties. he’s still in that ‘i should know what the fuck i’m doing by now but i don’t’ stage. that’s why keith sees him as an older brother figure and not a father figure. and tbh i find that dynamic so heartwarming and refreshing? because shiro isn’t old enough to be like a parent to keith, but he is old enough and mature enough to give keith all the advice he might have wished he’d gotten as a teenager. in a lot of ways, he treats keith as his equal and lets him handle his own problems and make his own bad choices. but when shit goes down he’s there to be the adult and handle it best he can.
Sometimes I have to laugh at the galra designs, from a purely affectionate frame of mind, because like. They’re so goshdanged lanky.
When they’re in action or in movement it’s all fluid and streamlined and intimidating looking, like- this species was probably developed at least partially to run down prey in a savanna or comparable setting like a pack of hyenas or a lion pride hunting- they’re built like sprinters, with those long, whippy limbs and big powerful hands.
But just hanging around, they look. Kind of hilarious, honestly, like. there’s just too much limb and shoulder for their head. If Kolivan, Antok and Ulaz didn’t have their fingers curled their fingertips would be on a level with their knees. They’re practically noodle people. Even more sturdy-built ones like Antok, Morvok, and Varkon have that whippy, elongated quality to them- stark with Morvok because he’s not even particularly tall, making his proportionate gangliness even odder-looking to a degree.
And I mean, on a general level, the looking a little silly thing is pretty much par the course for most creatures in nature. A cheetah could sure mess me up but their body and legs look too long for the rest of them. If anything that similarity between cheetahs and the galra might suggest galra are generally built less for endurance and more for sprinting, which would be reinforced because a common tactic in the Blade of Marmora’s fighting style is taking opponents on at a full run. (Keith does this too, even!) Big ribcage for big lung capacity, quite possibly a larger heart, long legs with (generally) well-defined calves and thighs- probably a build for running.
…Now I’m stuck on stuff I’ve said before about prey drives, and if the galra are more adapted to run things down rather than ambush them, they’re probably pretty good at tracking movement. Especially smaller things running in front of them.
roublardise: hi I'm here for the outfit meme! what about Keith in 4A? <3
