Plance Au - Blog Posts

Look me in the eyes and tell me that Plance and "Princess and the Frog" don't have almost exactly the same character dynamic

On second thought, I like yours better.

Pidge: Well, looks like the world is in trouble again.

Lance: Ah, yet again. What a tragedy that our evening is booked. *shoots Pidge a meaningful glare*.

Pidge: *grabs her super suit* Lance... 

Lance: I know, I know, world first. *pulls on his super suit* But I’m still going to complain anyway. I mean, it took me two months to get you to agree to something romantic! Two months! I feel like the supervillains could wait a couple more hours to unleash hell on us, right?

Pidge: If supervillains planned their evil schemes around your convenience, they’d never get anything done. That’s why they don’t do it. I’m sure they’ve considered it, of course, it just didn’t fit in with their schedule.

(they run off into the distance, still bickering and bantering, their voices fading as they get further away)

Lance: Well, duh, but I think one friendly exception isn’t much to ask.

Pidge: From a supervillain?

Lance: Fair, but I’m still bitter. Two months of begging!

Pidge: Begging and blackmailing. Don’t forget blackmailing.

Lance: Of course! What’s love without a little blackmail?

I saw this, and . . .

I feel like we can all agree that Pidge would be the one trying to find her paladin armour for something, and Lance would be the one standing in the background whining "but you promised you'd have dinner with me! I had candles and music planned and everything! How could you do this to me?"

Plance Steampunk/Fantasy AU

Pidge is a mechanic with a knack for chemistry (see Varian from TTS). Her father and brother go exploring in neighboring lands for their kingdom, but contact with them is lost during a storm. Pidge has to use all her engineering skills to find and save them. The kingdom fights her and her search every step of the way, for reasons Pidge hasn't been able to determine. Do they just not see the point of wasting resources saving two people? Or do they have something to hide?

Lance is a guard who escorts Pidge home after she storms into the castle demanding the royal family send a rescue team after her family. He starts spending time with her and helping her on her mission--partly because he believes it's wrong the kingdom refuses to give her aid, and partly because he can't help but find the ruthless little genius fascinating.

Almost definitely never going to write this, but I do like the idea, and I had to illustrate it. Pidge hasn't bothered to get a haircut recently in this drawing--her hair is overgrown and messy, but also rather cute.
