hello yes I am interested in Quiet Mounds, please tell me about it.

hello yes please app,

anyway it's coffee shop AU gothic, basically

small town where nobody can leave and unexplained spooky shit is the norm, everyone is expected to get shitty retail/service jobs as """rehab"""

in that everyone is being rehabilitated into society, or something? it's pretty sketchy

It's really fun and chill, and people are backtag friendly which is very nice

"who do you want to app, biz" it's Shiro. Shiro from Voltron. I want to make him as miserable as possible.

app shiro and I will throw a small teenage girl at him

Grabby handses at

if u don't think Keith will stalk ur ass across realities Shiro

clock puns : HE'S DEAD KEITH THIS IS WHERE DEAD PEOPLE GO, YOU NEED TO LIVE FOR VOLTRON

UH NO HE NEEDS TO LIVE TO FIND YOU, AND YOU'RE HERE, SO

clock puns :

also like I was thinking about FATE/ AU Keith and wondering what his wish for the Grail even would be, and having played enough FGO English to see Waver talking about wanting to see that person again, I uh. yeah. something like that.

but just, like, what if his wish was for Shiro to get to live a happy and peaceful life, with or without him,

/slow camera pan over Quiet Mounds

Shiro would give a stern lecture about appreciating his agency and right to decide what he wants from his life.

I've decided that if I do finish this app and get accepted, his awful job will be car washing.

but he just hates how much Shiro seems to end up suffering, why is it bad to want to save him from that /kicks grail

And not actually because of the potential for white t-shirt shenanigans.

.............. in booty shorts I hope

I mean

nO MY REASONS ARE PURE

mmhm

insert rambling headcanon that Shiro enjoyed working on beat up vehicles and now he can only wash awful new shiny ones.

FATE/ Keith would be easiest probably to protective feral duckling after Shiro in QM bc he's a Servant so he's already... aware he's dead... and has a less pressing need to go save the universe to make him bounce off the walls like canon Keith would. but whether or not I do that you can blame him for Shiro ending up there if you want

lmfdsj poor shiro

Shiro couldn't blame Keith for following his heart. He didn't even blame him for y'know, nearly getting the entire team killed by trying to take down Zarkon singlehandedly.

he could have taken him-

a doubt

okay so it was a challenge.

the TA in Shiro wants Keith to think about the consequences his action had on the others. the bad biker boy in Shiro is a little pissy that he didn't get first crack at trying to break Zarkon's jaw.

the others were fine, he stopped Zarkon getting Black, it could have gone better but it was fine! and... Shiro got to stab Zarkon with a giant flaming sword, so he wins?

I feel like I would have Shiro's voice, temperament, and motivations down, but I should probably rewatch some of S1 and S2 again.
