Send me ♤ and I will write a headcanon about our muses relationship (open) || @kienokoru
Both Shiro and Pidge like to brag about each other. Shiro will boast about Pidge’s accomplishments, which usually looks like, “Oh, this is Pidge, our tech specialist.” Meanwhile, Pidge will brag go on about Shiro’s potential, which usually looks like, “I bet Shiro could beat you up with one hand tied behind his back!” Either way, they’re both really proud of each other.
Spurred by Matt calling it a “rite of brotherhood,” Shiro tried coming up with his own embarrassing nickname for Katie. He tried basing it on her middle name, since he thought it was kinda silly that Sam and Colleen would name their daughter “Kelp” of all things. He went with “Kelpie,” which he thought was more cutesy than embarrassing, and Katie instantly started crying. Ever since then, he’s tried to steer clear of nicknames. The exception here being “Pidge,” of course; although, he finds himself stumbling over it sometimes. He still remembers the time Katie replaced Matt’s toothpaste with mayonnaise for calling her “Pudgey Pidgey.”
Re: Shiro generally steering clear of calling Katie “Kelpie.” Shiro totally used it more than once. Matt had to assure him Katie was just really good at crocodile tears, but after that, they’d occasionally team-up against Katie with their respective embarrassing nicknames for her. Katie always lost those fights, because the only nicknames she had for Shiro and Matt were either from her toddler-years or just straight up insults. She could try telling Sam or Colleen on them, but she’s the one that ended up in trouble. She dreads the day Shiro brings “Kelpie” back into the cycle.
shiro: *has a uc nickname dox gave him & everyone around them uses* also shiro, meeting someone new: hi i’m shiro

»» Wardrobe ( part 2 )
a bit of a contrast from his canon wardrobe, shiro’s everyday, normal life choices in clothing are, naturally, more… relaxed. the two important factors in his choices remain, however: functionality & comfort. not overly concerned with style, he wears what he likes and what keeps him comfy. he favours big sweaters that are oversized, even on him, and is well-known to have some really obnoxious and hideous patterned ones that he genuinely likes the look of. shirts, however, vary from fitted to loose depending on what he feels like wearing on a given day, and pants are much the same. his favourite shoes will always be combat boots, but he has a couple pairs of sneakers, too.
colours are most often muted and typically dark, save for his massive sweaters. where most of his shirts are black or grey or white, his sweaters come in any colour, varying brightness, and all sorts of patterns. he even has one where the front is just a massive picture of his dog’s face, but what do you want from him? he has a real appreciation for ugly sweaters.
WITCH AU.
shiro gains the white streak in his hair at a young age. it’s a space witch thing; it’s said they’re touched by stardust.
over time, shiro’s hair becomes all white - this isn’t something that happens to all space witches - and it happens more rapidly as he regains touch with his magic.
in his wolf form, shiro undergoes the same changes. he begins with a black coat of fur with a distinct white marking on his forehead and, over time, his fur becomes fully white.
once he’s reconnected with his magic again, at night one can sometimes see soft glimmers of light in his hair / fur, bearing a resemblance to stars in the sky.
rather than wolfman creatures, werewolves are simply large werewolves when transformed. by large, i mean a bit bigger than a full grown tiger. with head fully raised, they can stand the same height as some humans.
during the full moon, werewolves lose themselves and become aggressive beasts.
due to his being a space witch, shiro has a connection to the moon. because of this, he can fight against his curse to not completely lose himself to the werewolf mind for the night. it’s difficult, given how his magic is suppressed, but it becomes easier after months and months of practice.
dox is the one who suggests that he try to fight because of his nature as a space witch. shiro didn’t even think about it.
werewolves can shift as they please except, of course, on the full moon when they’re forced into wolf form.
shifting is a painful experience in the beginning, but one grows used to it the more it’s done.
shiro spends the majority of his time in wolf form.
dox creates a prosthetic arm for shiro, made from plants, bones, and magic. it is rather off-putting too look at, particularly as glimpses of bone can be caught now and then, most often in the fingers. the arm changes form with him when he shifts.
some of the space witch specific abilities shiro is capable of are:
hearing the universe. it’s a difficult thing to explain, but essentially he can gather positions of planetary bodies, etc. and have some degree of… not future sight, but an idea of possible future happenings (this is me taking inspiration from the ideas of astrology)
moving himself from one area in the universe to another, aka teleportation. this begins small but if worked on, he could theoretically travel as far as other planets.
some degree of gravity control??? ability wip.
able to breathe in the vacuum???
i’m still working on these lmao
WITCH AU.
born a rare space witch, shiro spent the first many years of his life learning and developing his magic & potential. even after the passing of his mother put him in an orphanage at the age of 11, he kept practicing, knowing it would have been what she’d wanted.
while out searching for some herbs for a particular ritual one evening, shiro found himself distracted as he listened to the planets & the stars - and most importantly, the full moon. lost in the sounds of the universe, he was unsuspectingly attacked by a couple of werewolves. the scene was gruesome; blood was everywhere as he was tugged at from either side by the both of them, as they clawed and bit, and attempted to drag him off. at some point during the horror, the boy fell unconscious in combination from shock and blood loss, thus he was unable to witness the beasts being scared off by an unknown entity, leaving him behind in a limp, bleeding heap.
when consciousness found him again, shiro was in an unfamiliar home rather than the dark woods. he was cleaned up, and many of his wounds had been healed to some degree. he had been found in the middle of the night by the earth shaman dox, who had brought him back to his cabin and taken care of him. though nothing could be done to bring back the arm which had been lost during the moments he was the rope in a game of tug o’ war between two giant wolves, dox had been able to heal all of his wounds at least to the point that they were no longer bleeding. over many days, he would be able to continue to heal the injuries until they were nothing but scars.
while initially he stays with the shaman simply to heal, dox invites him to stay rather than return to the orphanage. already at an age where they were bound to kick him out to live on his own at any point anyway, being seventeen, it’s all the more reason to accept. it also feels safer to him to keep himself in the middle of the woods, near as few people as possible, now that he’s been passed the curse of those who attacked him.
thus, shiro joins dox in a semi-hermit lifestyle, assisting the shaman in his work and coming to terms with his new state of being. the curse of a werewolf suppresses the magic of a witch bitten, so shiro has lost access to everything he’s spent so much of his life developing and skills that he would use regularly. with time, he becomes more well-adjusted to things. he comes to like most aspects of his life with dox, and learns a great deal from him - even begins to slowly regain some of his own magic with his help.

as a teenager, shiro was actually on the scrawnier side. when he was a younger cadet, he was shorter than a lot of his classmates and it wasn’t until he was about seventeen that he had something of a late growth spurt which steadily put him closer to his final height of 6′2. the growth spurt helped put a bit of his bulk on too, but it wasn’t until he started working out regularly, also conveniently around the age of eighteen, that he really began filling out. wasn’t until he was twenty that he reached peak ‘tall & built’ status.
headcanon: because it’s sinday…
shiro is a homoromantic sex-repulsed ace. this isn’t something that he hides, and it’s something that he makes sure his partners are aware of — he’s had relationships where it felt like he was disappointing a partner for getting uncomfortable as intimate moments escalate, and it sucks. he tells partners up front that sex just isn’t something he can offer.
he can, however, grow more comfortable with some things over time and exposure with someone. actual intercourse is still incredibly unlikely but, for example, over the course of his relationship with adam he became comfortable with sleeping naked together, with some certain more intimate touches, and with spreading kisses ( and bites ) across different parts of the body.
if suitably comfortable with someone and given understanding and patience, it isn’t impossible that he could one day be comfortable with ( and enjoy ) getting a partner off/having a partner getting him off with hands. oral is more of a stretch, anything that involves insertion is where he struggles the most as far as comfort, but there is some potential for him to grow more comfortable with certain aspects of sex.
shiro cried a lot as a kid. he’s always been a very emotional person, has always felt his emotions strongly, and as a boy he had little handle on controlling them. he’d get overwhelmed easily and when frightened, worried, anxious, sad, and even when happy enough, he’d often start to cry. it wasn’t until he was in his teens that he finally started managing to control these sorts of reactions.
