I Completely Agree! She's Very Used To Being The Younger One, So She Understands Kids Very Well. It Takes

I completely agree! She's very used to being the younger one, so she understands kids very well. It takes her some time to get used to kids, figure out who they are so she doesn't fuck it up, but when she becomes comfortable with them she will just draw them right out of their shells. She's discovered that kids are usually so much more accepting of different sexualities and genders than most adults and she will NOT F-ING HESITATE to educate them about the whole LGBTQ+ rainbow. (More than one parent has come home to the two of them marching around the house screeching pride parade chants) But yeah, overall, it just takes her some time to understand the kid before she is comfortable them, and when that happens, beautiful chaos will ensue.

Paladins & Kids

Shiro:

•he’s such an imposing presence that kids can be scared of him at first •but he’ll crouch down and ask them their names with that sweet, soothing voice of his and two seconds later they’ll be all over him •he is a little bit awkward around kids, because he doesn’t have a ton of experience and he’s afraid he might hurt them on accident •but when kids see how sweet and dorky he really is they cuddle right up to him and gets this little smile and aaaaaagghh •one time a kid absentmindedly called him ‘dad’ and he nearly cried •he’d be such a good dad, he’d spend so much time with his kids getting to know them, and he’d play games and cuddle and build pillow forts with them and I just •Shiro the Space Dad makes me very happy.

Lance:

•HOOOO BIG BRO LANCE AMIRIGHT •he has so many little siblings and cousins it’s crazy •he just exudes brotherly vibes it’s like he has a gravitational pull for kids •they adore him •it doesn’t matter if he just met this child 3 seconds ago they are his now •he will spoil them rotten •he’ll tease them and tickle them and chase them around and feed them chocolate he smuggled from the kitchen •big bro lance, everyone.

Hunk:

•he’s like a huge cuddly teddy bear of course kids love him •just like Lance, he does not mind becoming a human jungle gym to appease the children •they love him for his sweetness, his cuddles and his bottomless supply of snacks •big and strong arms, perfect for holding many children •IMMEDIATELY protective of any child he meets •lay even a finger on them and he will fuck all yo shit up • not even kidding

Keith:

• actually pretty chill around kids?? • “yeah ok go do the thing just don’t get hurt” • but if they do get hurt… • the mom switch is flipped. there is no going back. he is freaking the hell out • “oH MY GOD HOW DID THIS HAPPEN WAIT NEVERMIND NOT NOW WE NEED TO GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL-” “it’s literally just a scratch calm down i fell into the neighbor’s rosebush” • kids love him because he doesn’t patronize them or talk down to them • also because he’s as likely to do dumb impulsive shit as they are • he’s an enabler • has such a soft spot for the kiddos • but will never admit it • he has more of a ‘cool babysitter’ vibe than a ‘parental’ one

Pidge:

• but she’s the kid????  ?? • why are you letting her near your children she does not know how to take care of these things • “Hunk get your butt over here right now it wants cuddles???? what do i do??” • how exactly is she”adult supervision” she’s like 14 or smthn • she suffered through exactly half a summer of babysitting before throwing a chair across the room and screeching like a banshee • kids? who needs kids when you’ve got technology • she doesn’t care if it’s an inoocent child if it touches her computer it dies • but as a mom oh jesus she would be good • so confused at first but she would spend so much time hanging out with her kid and making dumb videos with them and teaching them computer science • “honey isn’t it a little early to teach her coding she’s three” “IT’S NEVER TO EARLY TO LEARN”
