CROAK 😠

I HOPE YOU FUCKING CRROOOAAAKKKK ‼️‼️‼️

I hardcore agree with this.

Coran deserves better. I mean, every time I see fanarts of the Voltron team, Coran is always missing. No one seems to care about him, and that pisses me off! He passed through the same things as Allura, and that’s so fucked up. He’s not being loved enough.

This physically hurt me when I heard about this. So, I fucking downloaded the whole series on my profile on Netflix! FUCK YOU NETFLIX, YOU HEARTLESS BITCH! YOU AIN'T STOPPING ME FROM WATCHING!😨😭😈😤

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

THEY'RE FUCKING WITH US

PLEASE SAY THIS IS A JOKE

Coran: First it was the mice, which was fine. They were with us for 10,000 years it makes sense that they stay. Coran: Then it was the wolf Keith brought back, which was manageable Coran: And now Lance found a cat.... Lance: His name is Fluffy McFlufferson! Coran: ...Alright that's it, no more animals! This is a respectable ship, not a zoo! Pidge and Hunk standing by the door to the bridge, the former with a small bird creature and the latter with a rabbit creature

Pidge: ....Bad time?

I will not describe all the stages of grief I went through when I realized what happened and what remained of Voltron, and what was left for these two characters in particular.

I have almost finished watching Voltron in 2023, and this is a hopelessly dead city. I can see all the horrible things that went down in this city. I am simultaneously relieved and saddened by the fact that it's 2023 and the city is long, long left by all its bitter inhabitants. I will not stay here for long, myself. But I will say is that it's a shame that there is practically no Slav/Coran content, when there's so much potential for this ship. Also, people should've known what they were signing for when they began watching Voltron. The protagonists have been stupid and/or inexperienced from the start. This is a show about protagonists stumbling and failing miserably as they go, because they have no idea what they're doing, bringing more trouble onto themselves by being stupid and/or inexperienced, but still managing to pull through by some unimaginable stroke of luck or by somebody else's sacrifice. They are not written badly, it's just their character. The only one who knew what he was doing, Lotor, got murdered for letting his guard down and wanting to do the right thing for once. I find it extremely fascinating. This is how things work in real life, and this is not a kids' show. This is a bitter adult show. It got itself an entirely wrong target audience by drawing too many space asses and letting Shiro pose as a serious character, even for a second. It's tragic, what happened, really.

What a sad, dead city.

Costs of War

When Lance stepped into that lion he wasn’t prepared for war, he didn’t think some dumb metal beast would drag him and his friends into a millennia old conflict. He’s not sure what he did expect, but it wasn’t this.

That being said, he doesn’t regret getting on that lion, getting swept up in the war, becoming a soldier. He’s saved lives changed things for the better, he has a purpose out here. Just, at a price.

Because for every life he’s saved, he’s taken one away. He’s killed hundreds of galran soldiers over time, doomed dozens of planets by saving a different one. He can’t help everyone, often not even his own team, his family. But sometimes he can help someone.

——

The first time Lance simultaneously saves someone and dooms someone is his first two weeks in space, the team is on Arus, small pill shapes aliens give them food and entertainment and worship them as heroes. Lance had been with Coran, chatting in the control room.

Pidge’s little robot friend, Rover, had been flying about the crystal. It was odd the little thing wasn’t with Pidge, the two had been inseparable since Rover came along.

Then it started beeping.

Louder.

Faster.

Time however moved slower, by the time Lance realized something was wrong he’d already reacted, pulling Coran to the floor and covering him with his own body.

Burning.

Everything was burning. His neck and neck and face, his skin was sizzling. But there were more important things. Sendak. He was here he had Shiro, Lance had to move, had to help, two shots are fired before the pain over takes him again.but Lance can’t tell if their from or someone else. Doesn’t matter.

Burning.

It’s duller this time. Like a sunburn rather than a he-just-lit-himself-on-fire kind of burn, there’s a pleasant coolness over the rest of him.

He’s falling.

He hits someone, their arms wrap around his torso. He’s more awake by the time they drag him to a chair. He asks what happened, he doesn’t know what to say. Sendak is prisoner, Lance had managed to hit him with both shots, the Arians are mostly unharmed, but frazzled. His injuries were the worst, burns covering 40% of his back, reaching up his neck and around his chin. H they thought he was going to die. He moved on, others were more important.

This is the attack that alerts the Galran empire that Voltron is operational, three planets and harvested and destroyed, the toll is 13 million people.

Pt1??

HI! I don't know if you do the whole answering questions thing, but I was wondering what some of your favourite moments have been so far (in Voltron)

hey! I’ll totally answer some questions!!

one of my favourite moments has to be when when keith and Hunk are doing their mission and hunk is so surprised by Keith making a joke(season two)

there’s also when they all have the food fight in season one

I definitely have more but I just started to re-watch season three

Wish that was me😭

Rip netflix you dont deserve him anyway

Why is this man so attractive

Honestly the pretties mf on that show

That turtleneck is doing things to me

S8 Thoughts

I’ve been reading a lot of posts about a lot of unhappy people who watched the season, and didn’t like how certain things went. (I’m trying really hard not to spoil things, but it is tumblr and things are everywhere) 

But one thing someone pointed out, that at Shiro’s wedding, behind Shiro and Curtis, when Curtis yanks Shiro closer, we see what I think is Keith standing behind Shiro with his arms crossed.  Everyone assumes he’s all pissed because Shiro’s getting married to someone other than him. He’s all bitter because Shiro, the one who he fell and almost died for is marrying someone from the Atlas crew.  Honestly, in all honesty, I feel like Keith wouldn’t be bitter, he saw Shiro as a brotherly figure, not a lover. His arms might be crossed, but my thought, he’s stuck in some stiff suit or clothes he wouldn’t ever wear, and wouldn’t be comfortable in.  All in all, I think Keith is just hella uncomfortable being there, because he’s prolly in a suit that he wont ever wear again. Also, weddings, no matter who’s it is, are uncomfortable as all hell- wearing clothes you probably wont ever look at again that are stiff and uncomfortable, (This might also be my dislike of huge gatherings showing through)  ANYWAY, I know a lot of shippers are all up in arms about it because it should be Keef or even it should be Adam because reasons x, y and z. It would have been nice if Shiro had the chance to have some closure with Adam (and not just his plaque) and be able to move on with a clear head. I mean, he was still able to move on, which I’m so proud of him for. This man has been through hell, and he has the scars to prove it. How long has he been in space? How long was he with the Galra again? Where they took his friggin arm? Being isolated as a prisoner, and being used for gladiatorial fights will change a man. (Not that I know what it’s like being in a gladiator situation, but I imagine with how long he was there and with all they did to him it was going to be a life changing experience.)

The fact that Shiro managed to find love in someone like Curtis, and be able to get married, and move on with his life, instead of dwelling on the bad, and feeling sorry for himself, I cant hide my pride for him. He gave himself the chance to find love again, and go to live a probably quieter life, away from the conflict that had torn at him for years. Dreams change, wants change, people change. 

I love this show, I love the characters, the music, the giant robot(s), and all it did. If I didn’t give this show a watch, I wouldn’t have drawn a lot of what I did in October, or before, and I would probably be a much unhappier person.

I know I’ve said this in posts in the past, but I love what the whole Voltron team did to bring this together. To JDS, LM, and all of the other producers, thank you for making such a great show with some of my favorite animation I’ve seen in awhile. 

word vomit over.

(just kidding i just realized that with this show over, it’ll be harder to see the other cast/crew members at conventions in my area T^T)

Been developing my Voltron/Wings of Fire AU some more and finally came up with some more designs

Started getting lazy after Allura, but I managed to fit most the characters I wanted to design before my hand got tired.

Since the paladins are phyrrian dragons, it made sense for the aliens to be pantalan dragons to me because they’re on a different continent n stuff.

Allura and Coran are both silkwings and also the supposed last of their kind

Zarkon is a beetlewing, they’re canonically extinct but he’s like a gajillion years old so I think him being an extinct dragon race is pretty fitting. Haggar is a silkwing but it’s not very apparent with her hood, so most dragons assume she’s a hivewing (the galra are hivewings in this AU). Lotor is a hive and or beetle/silk hybrid, he’s just a silly guy fr.

My Reaction to VLD Season 8.

I have to be completely honest with all y’all. When the 8th season of Voltron Legendary Defender came out, I skipped it to the final episode and boy was I pissed, angry, sad and heartbroken. The entire show became another reboot epic fail like Thundercats 2011. Not only that Kallura didn’t become canon in the end when the creators of the show paired Allura with Lance, they killed her off for their own petty reasons. In the end of the Shipping Wars, it turned out that all ships are casualties and the fandom lose. So yeah, we took a major L. Nobody wins in the end.

I decided that from now on until someone makes another Voltron cartoon that’ll top that monstrosity that is Voltron Legendary Defender, I’ll stick with the original Voltron from the 80′s and Go Lion from Japan because they are a million times better than that damn reboot from Netflix because seasons from 4 all the way to the 8 turned it into biggest piece of crap and all the characters have been botched very badly, mainly Keith and Allura! Sorry. I’m just gettin’ it out of my system.

And yeah, we were wrong for being toxic fans over characters and ships. One day, we’ll be better human beings and fans. Season 8 has been our punishment for behaving the way we did. We’ll try hard to make sure that it never happens again. So....our bad!

And to Lauren Montgomery and Joaquim Dos Santos, I must speak on behalf of the Voltron fandom since 1984 when I say that you didn’t ruin our childhood,both of y’all broke all of our hearts and make us love, cherish and appreciated the original Voltron Defender Of The Universe even more because it’ll always be better than your creation Voltron Legendary Defender. Thanks but no thanks. And you get millions of middle fingers and smiles from us as our way of showing how much we appreciated y’all and how much effort you put into it. Nuff said. 

To the creators of Voltron Legendary Defender after season 8. Especially after they killed off Princess Allura on the final episode.

The song for the final battle against Haggar/Honerva in season 8 of Voltron Legendary Defender.

Since Voltron Legendary Defender is gonna conclude with Season 8, here’s a Queen song dedicated to the series finale. Enjoy!
