Let’s be honest I always have more ideas about Altean wifi…
- NASA (and the science community
in general) are all very excited about the scientific knowledge that an alien
race as advanced as the Alteans might be able to give them.
- Space twitter: ask away! Our science officer
@coran-the-gorgeous-man
is here and ready to answer all your questions!- The ensuing ‘conversation’ lasts
about 30 minutes and goes about as well as can be expected- Lance posts pictures of Pidge on
Olkari all with the caption “photosynthesis: hacked”
- Pidge: When we get back to Earth
I’m going to hack a tree, I’ll hack a squirrel, I’ll hack an ibis!- Pidge posts several really blurry
photos with the caption “PROOF OF ALIENS”- The space mice become very
popular, especially with kids. Lance knits them different sweaters for all the
different Earthen holidays- Allura gets really into making
moodboards, which are always matched amazingly well for colour, sometimes less
so for substance
- Her most popular moodboard to
date has in order: a blueberry, a picture of Slav floating through space, a
blue hairdryer, a plastic blue chair, an engagement ring with inlaid sapphires,
kaltenecker wearing a blue bow, sonic the hedgehog, a Blu-ray copy of finding
nemo and a picture of the blue lion with the caption “blue, the color of our
planet from far, far away”
- Lance, holding back a laugh:
that’s … really good Allura. I love how well everything fits together
Allura: thank you, I’m glad you
like it
Lance: What made you pick that
quote in particular?
Allura: I thought it was nice
that both Altea and Earth are blue planets. All the pictures are things that
remind me of home
Lance, choking back a sob: oh,
that’s… really great- Coran burst into tears the first
time he saw it- In response to the spacehoaxers Hunk and Lance make a patreon for “performance art exploring social media from the perspective of four teenagers and Shiro stuck in space”
- “If we get to one million patrons we’ll tell you how the Slav puppet works”
- “If we get two million we’ll publish a behind the scenes look at the ‘Altean shapeshifting video’”
- “If we get to seven patrons we’ll try to shave Keith’s mullet”
- Lance and Pidge tried to do a prank video
where they Rickrolled Coran and Allura. They both thought it was an absolute
banger and played it on repeat for close to a week.
- The meme team has many regrets
- Lance over twitter: anyone here
willing to receive an Amazon package and then pass it through a small wormhole
the exact size and shape of the box?
- Allura from the other room: no
- Keith likes to make self-defence
videos that are all strangely specific
- Keith: now, if you want to disarm two Galra sentries in a ship of the blueprint
J configuration where the guards are following a strict pattern C-alpha patrol
and all you have on hand is a Luxite knife here’s what you want to do…- The comment section on all these
videos are mostly him explaining to people how you would adjust these
techniques for their own scenarios (along with comments from Pidge tallying how
many times Shiro has made them watch the videos during training)- Hunk creates a subreddit for
suggestions on how to fix/improve different parts of the ship using the limited
supplies they have
(you can’t convince me that Hunk
didn’t have a reddit account on Earth and positive karma to spare)
- It’s one of the most useful
sources of information they have and saves their necks more than once- There’s another thread called
“unflattering pictures of Lance” that no one finds out about until
the photos start making it onto Twitter that Hunk denies making
- Pidge commissions an oil painting
of one of the most popular pictures for Lance for his birthday
