Let's Rewind! Toast watches Voltron: Defender of The Universe (1984)
Season 1, Episode 23: It Takes Real Lions Season 1, Episode 24: Raid of Alien Mice
Episode 23: It Takes Real Lions I keep noticing how lotor has this chiseled jaw, man they really wanted to make this man seem attractive huh
He's being smart at least, training a robeast by letting him fight 5 robot cats that look WAY sleeker than the actual lions not that the flashback of Zarkon agrees with it
The team is doing some training too though, glad to know they're always prepared Break time! They're going swimming in the lake nearby the castle, using blue as a launching dock
Allura swims too! The boys are stunned they're seeing her in a bikini but nonetheless watch her pretty cool dive,,, except she loses her top and once she finds that out she's not happy about it Neither are Nanny and Coran when they find out she skipped her lessons just to be out swimming in what Nanny deems as Incorrect Clothing,, I know she's doing her job, but MAN IS SHE ANNOYING
I love every screenshot we get of Pidge using Hunk as a pillow, what a duo
Back into her room Allura goes, apparently she can speak at least 50 languages and is studying to learn even more, overachieving to the max Though she's falling behind in her studies, I mean her planet IS at war, so I'd expect a little slack yknow, but not like Coran or Nanny care because they'd rather her not be fighting in it in the first place
A weird light starts coming down to Arus and Coran figures out it's Lotor, obvs the boys set off to stop him but leave Allura behind because "it's too dangerous for her" motherfucker HOW, it's the same shit each time, I feel like you know how bad it gets when there's only 4 lions out fighting but no ig you gotta do it for the DRAMA
The boys get fucked up by the robeast lotor sent out as expected and he knows that Allura isn't out fighting, so he goes to kidnap her from her room which luckily for him is locked because NANNY WANTED HER TO FOCUS ON HER STUDIES This woman good god,,, she couldn't have predicted it but holy crap I hate her with a passion
A couple of guards and Coran get to her in time though, and she runs off to go help the boys while Coran tells her it's too late to do so I WONDER WHO'S FUCKING FAULT THAT IS HUH, GOD IS NO NON-COMBATANT SIDE CHARACTER LIKABLE IN THIS SHOW??
Voltron forms and after some struggle the team wins of course, look I have no idea what kind of message they were trying to send, but apparently it was "Allura can be a princess and fly a lion at the same time" which is fucking stupid BECAUSE SHE NEVER WORRIED ABOUT THAT, IT WAS CORAN AND NANNY CAUSING PROBLEMS AGAIN I hate them so much you guys
/episode end
Episode 23: Raid of The Alien Mice Shooting stars! Except they're hitting the surface of Arus,,, and they're actually pods for weird mutated mice,, They set off the alarms too, the boys are convinced the mice or some of their friends set them off, Allura not so much
Ah cartoon logic,,, a mouse can't chew through metal or set off a bomb in the castle, but somehow they're still definitely at fault for setting off the alarm Once again reminding me that I'm not the target audience, so it just means it's hard to watch
The boys end up searching the generator room anyway after another shortage, finally seeing that the culprits aren't the mice they know, but killer ones instead Also, Hunk pries open a closed automatic door, apparently he lifts weights, which isn't surprising, but I'm glad the show mentioned it and didn't make him out as entirely lazy
Confirmation that they came from planet Doom, those bitches are always the root of problems These mutant mice are literally melting doors and cameras now, horrifyingly affective, one of the mice (chitter) volunteers to find them so Allura puts a tracking collar on him before he goes, how cute
The team and the mice find the freaky little guys BUT INSTEAD OF TRYING TO SHOOT AT THEM TO TAKE DOWN THEIR NUMBERS THEY JUST LET THEM THROUGH TO THE MAIN COMPUTER WHERE THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO GO also a robeast got sent out, so Keith leaves Allura and Pidge to guard but not like it helps because the other three can't even get to their lions in the first place
Chitter plays bait and fools the mutant mice into leaving since Pidge and Allura can't reach where they are so first chitter can't take them alone, but now he can? great the guy really couldn't fight,, after getting punched out he finally leads the enemies out and Pidge shoots them on sight, as they should've done in the first place
the other boys are running to their lions on foot, almost dying in the process ofc, when Pidge and Allura are finally able to get into their own from the castle a wasted trip because they got to pick up the boys and drop them off at the castle again,, couldn't you have dropped them off directly at their lions lair? no? ok i guess
After the team all regroups and defeats the robeast as voltron, allura treats the mice to some of the best cheese in the castle's pantry, which pidge immediately tries to take a chunk of even though chitter bats him away from it, twice kind of anticlimactic honestly, wish we got more to see with the team actually doing something against the mice and not fighting a random robeast at the end
/episode end

If you ever find yourself questioning whether or not the Voltron: Legendary Defender showrunners truly despised Shiro, or Shiro fans are simply being melodramatic and hyperbolic when we state as much, contrast the staff's treatment of him with their handling of Pidge.
Compared to their teammates, whose appearances were relatively unaltered, both characters underwent extreme cosmetic makeovers for this iteration of the Voltron/Beast King Go Lion! franchise.
While Takashi Shirogane reclaimed his name and ethnicity from the original 80s Japanese anime, his appearance much more strongly resembles that of a famous character from a completely different franchise.
Pidge Gunderson was gender-swapped, renamed, and de-aged from a "little man from Earth", to Katie Holt, a fifteen year-old girl, with Pidge being a childhood nickname and the alias Katie assumed to disguise herself as a boy when she infiltrated the Galaxy Garrison to uncover the truth about the fates of her father and brother.
Both Shiro and Pidge were given their own unique backstories flavored by varying degrees of tragedy.
And, yet, when Shiro dies two seasons in, we're treated to no dramatic scene of the people who became his found family dropping to their knees, crying out in anguish, and shedding tears over what should be a devastating loss. He's simply gone. No body left behind because it was completely destroyed. By the next episode, Changing of the Guard, with no real sense of how much time has passed, Lance, Hunk, Pidge, and Allura are all referring to Shiro in the past tense, when they refer to him at all, and show no real signs of grief or mourning until the very end of the episode's run time. (Coran doesn't matter, as he's Wacky Comic Relief Man until the plot requires him to fret over Allura, offer exposition, or handle a technical issue on the Castle of Lions.) Even then, each one of them offers perfunctory little sentiments about how Shiro affected their lives (past tense), extending solidarity to Keith for the express narrative purpose of convincing him to move on and let Shiro go.
The episode immediately following, Red Paladin, Lance is set on proving himself deserving of the new Black Paladin title, and Hunk and Pidge are cracking jokes and fooling around inside of the cockpit of the Black Lion, the very location where Shiro's life came to a violent end, as if nothing ever happened.
Aside from Allura donning pink armor to honor lost and fallen heroes, and making a point of specifically naming Shiro as one of them, It's Keith and Keith alone who seems at all seriously emotionally affected by Shiro's absence.
And, even he is over it by the third episode of the season.
And, this was intended to be the permanent status quo. Shiro was not supposed to be brought back in any capacity.
Pidge, on the other hand, is given an appropriately emotional sequence, complete with poignant flashbacks, atmospheric backdrop, and swelling music, when she believes she's found her brother's grave and was too late to save him.
No one cracks jokes or attempts to make light of what happened. She's allowed the appropriate space and time to mourn before realizing that Matt isn't actually dead, and immediately resuming her journey to find him.
Arguably, both Takashi Shirogane and Pidge Holt were altered so extensively, they might as well have been the showrunners' Original Characters. But, it's only the gay, disabled trauma survivor (whom the showrunners intentionally turned into one, as Takashi and Ryou Shirogane in the original Japanese/Sven Holgersson in the English dub was neither forcibly disabled, nor gay) who is cruelly cast aside after suffering repeatedly, while his able-bodied teammates live on to fight another day.
#Takashi Shirogane#Shiro#You're nothingness but shining and everywhere at once.#Pidge Gunderson#Pidge Holt#Katie Holt#Voltron: Legendary Defender#Meta.#VLD Meta.#I want to fight everyone who thinks Shiro's death was in any way justified because his counterpart is killed off in the original anime.#The VLD showrunners DELIBERATELY made this man a gay#disabled trauma survivor who spends the bulk of twenty six episodes suffering#just to KILL him.#If you can't see the problem with that#even overlooking all of the ways that his death (fittingly) impacted the show's quality#causing it to nosedive fast and HARD#I don't know what to tell you.#Maybe you should do some introspection and soul-searching in regards to your biases.#All I want is to fly with queue.

AHSJSJAJA WHY AM I FINDING ABOUT VOLTRON (VLD, not 80's one) SO LATE, IT'S SO FREAKING HIGH QUALITY, NOW IT'S MY HYPERFIXATIONNN. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE PIDGE, YOU'RE MY FAVORITE PALADIN. (As for character that isn't a Paladin, would be Coran, I'm sure he isn't a Paladin right??? Yes, he is apart of the team, but just helping. Correct me if I'm wrong)
The only thing I don't like about it is. When I found Pidge was a girl. At first, when Pidge was first on screen I was like -Is she or he a girl or boy???- later, I found she used he pronouns, so I found out she was a boy. But then later, when she reveals she was born a girl I was like -HE'S TRANS?!- but yeah, no, Pidge isn't trans, just was disguising so she could join GG.
As a person who wants to transition but is afraid of what would people around me thing. TRANS REP WOULD'VE BEEN GREAT. But, I guess Pidge is close enough. But, I still love her character, anyway.
But, I guess I fanon she uses he/them in my image ;)
Y'all don't attack me, I respect you if you think her pronouns are she/her or something else. But, that's my opinion.

so excited ur back!!! i always come back to here whenever i wanna reread klance fics :3 got any fluffy suggestions?
me too wtf! it's kind of funny.. ive still gotten notifs for this blog even though it's been inactive so i recognise the active usernames LMAO i see you allll - K
Mr. Snuggles by negativefouriq (1/1 | 1,656 | Teen and Up)
“You know,” Lance continues, “Coran did say this armour is supposed to hold out against chemical attacks. And venom is a chemical. If there was ever a time to test it…” “I’m going to kill him,” Hunk says, faux-casual. He turns his video on, showing how he’s smiling in the way that tells you he is actually very angry. “If this spider doesn’t poison him to death, I am going to stab him.” --- OR: Lance loves animals. He also has zero self-preservation skills, and is single-handedly responsible for 80% of the collective stress response of Team Voltron.
Affections and Deceptions by Deatmat (2/2 | 21,353 | General)
"We need to talk about the bite." He mumbles, "What about it?" "Well, for starters, what do we do? What do we tell the others?" He gestures with his free hand at the bite. "I mean, we can't just magically make it go away." There's a pause before he says abruptly, "What if we pretend it's real?" - - - - - [Lance and Keith are dating behind the rest of their teams backs but a run in with an alien bug that's venom causes victims to mimic infatuation brings both opportunities and issues to light.]
mortal body, timeless souls by littlecloud9 (1/1 | 3,494 | General)
“Wait!” Coran lets out a triumphant noise. “I got it! If my calculations stand corrected, then our visitors will be people we actually know! Keith, Lance, you two will be meeting your alternate selves today!” Coran says it like the idea is so mundane that it takes Keith a while to process. The moment he does, however, he feels his heart drop to his stomach. “We’re going to what?!” Lance yelps, effectively voicing out Keith’s thoughts. Or, the castle's teludav malfunctions, alternate realities are mixed, and Keith finds out that he and Lance are a lot more... close in other realities.

I’m watching “Voltron: Legendary Defender” for the first time and these are my compiled thoughts.
This is Season 3
(S 1-2) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8)
———————————————————————
<this one will be a little longer because I took more pictures when I watched these two seasons, as I got a little more invested in the show>
(Edit: apparently I can only put 10 pictures per post, so while I planned for this to be season 3 and 4, this has to be a solo season post because I have wayyyy too many thoughts and a lot of them need accompanying pictures)
Pre-Season 3
-> I wonder who is gonna be the new black paladin, I hope it’s Allura. Or Keith I guess, but his ass is NOT ready for leadership
-> I need to know where Shiro is. Bring back my Cruella Deville!
-> the witch is altean! This is gonna be sooo important I just know it
-> I wonder how Allura and Keith will interact now that she sorta accepted him being part galra. that’s actually a really interesting topic.
->Keith being galra is gonna be something very important as well I think.
-> Pidge BETTER find her brother and father this season or I swear Dreamworks is gonna catch these hands
Post-Season 3
-> ^if villain why hot?
->his ideals are giving Roman Empire. (I guess that makes sense considering he’s the prince of the Galra Empire)
->^hmmm.🤨🤔 (I know what you are)
->^Space TyLee! And Space Asami, too!
->^oh so Keith gets to be insecure now, I guess everyone gets their own “angst” episode
->^hes the first to comfort him! is this a “klance” moment? It feels like one
->^Once again have to talk about Allura and her dad. She already threw away all her dad’s memories and his “essence” of him. Now she can’t even stay connected to him by piloting his lion ☹️. I genuinely get so sad every time I think about her. 🙁 All I do at 3 am is cry. 😕
->I originally got super sad about that, but then she became the blue one and I was really happy. But I was reallyyyy confused about the schematics of the switches. (still kinda am) like the lions don’t fit their personalities. And isn’t it the point that they get chosen for a reason?? Like when the blue one chose Lance in s1? And the red one chose Kieth, etc. ?? I guess it makes sense for them to call on other paladins when Shiro “dies” (his ass is not dead, I’m 100% sure of that) but Allura fits Black/Red better imo.
-> But then again, I did like how it was executed/explained. “Oh Lance ur the new red one cus you accepted Keith as ur leader and now you have to be the right hand. Get it cus red is Voltron’s right arm??” like yeah. And of course:
->^Allurance!! I finally see it, now.
-> Also, my supposed question about “langst” was proven wrong, there’s more than just the “seventh wheel” episode.
“Not only am I not meant to be the leader, I guess… I guess now I’m not even meant to be a paladin”
He is really insecure about that isn’t he? Does any of this ever get resolved??
-> this season was huge for klance apparently. They have so many moments together. When they get dragged by evil elsa Lotor to that weird planet and have their lions talk face to face, the shoulder touch, them seeking each other out for/being the first to give the other comfort/reassurance, “Leave the math to Pidge” , Lance being the most upset that Keith isn’t at the parade thing, their teamwork in “Tailing a Comet”, “Yeah, who am I gonna make fun of?”
You guys just kept winning this season honestly slay.
-> The Lore drop that Coran did about the creation of Voltron/Original Paladins. Bro
->I’m still hung up on that. Honerva I could have saved you.
-> Gotta say though im all for an evil couple.
-> I loved all the S1 call backs to the original paladins “I’m a leg!” Like yeah 🩷 you are 💛 and the og blue paladin does the “lance in the intro” thing
->^When they form Voltron for the first time in the flashback, the colors are brighter, much like the original 80s show’s colors, and the captions later read “Defender of the Universe”, which was the name of the original Voltron show. This is an especially fun detail because not only are they honoring the “original paladins/voltron” of the show’s lore, they are also doing so in reference to the original show itself, which I think is all so beautiful
->Baby Allura is soooo cute!
-> We get Shiro back! I knew he wasn’t dead. Low key I was scared he lost another arm or something but no! He’s okay 🖤🤍
-> I did some research and it turns out he is in fact 25, I don’t know whether to be happier or sadder for him. On one hand, thank fuck he’s not like 15-17 like the others, on the other hand, he should be at the club. He should be finding love, he should be at his 9-5 paying taxes and doing laundry not having his arm chopped off and replaced with magic and having to fight in the space coliseum and then escaping and having to pilot a giant robot and be a part of an intergalactic war. (I suppose that last part is true for all of them, but the rest is shiro-specific, and it all makes me a little sad)
-> call me crazy but he looked hotter when his hair was long
-> on that note, WHERE did he find a razor. Did he just use a sword or something?? Like in mulan??
-> in “Tailing a Comet”, they apparently meet alternate space reality!Kuvira from atla:lok , and ASR!Bataar Jr. I mean, really, down to the bun and the mole, as well as the controlling dictatorship-esque behavior and the “really, this is actually for their own good” attitude when it comes to said controlling behavior. Did the writers of each show just share ideas or??
-> im so serious with that last question. The thing that came out of the “quintessence rift” that the original paladins had to fight? A dark spirit from LoK: Book 2: Spirits. Whatever tf happened to zarkon when he got too close? When Unalaq got possessed by Vaatu. I mean really, were they just passing cards like go fish?
->I genuinely cried when Keith left for the Blade of Marmora (to save time, I’m gonna start calling them the “Blades” or “BOM”)
-> however, I feel like him leaving for the blades is gonna be really plot relevant later on
-> I think that’s when S3 ended im pretty sure. I don’t have further thoughts other than those I could’ve discussed if I could upload enough pictures for my S4 thoughts that accompanied them.
These are thoughts I’ve had compiled for a while. I finished S3 on 06/26/24 and S4 on 06/30/24. As of today (07/3/24) I am on S5E3.
I will continue to post my thoughts/Updates on the tag “laura’s first vld”
#laura’s first vld#vld#voltron: legendary defender#voltron#I suppose I could tag klance#but i’m not going to#before you guys ask no I don’t ship anything as of now I’m just good at deciphering/predicting things#i will say though is that the ships i KNOW about are klance and allurance and i see crumbs of both#i even think i saw some keith x allura (keillura??) in s2/s3#im still not over the lok parallels. you cannot look at me in the eye and tell me those alternate reality alteans aren’t Kuvira and Bataar.#and the dark spirits/unavaatu thing?? hello??#maybe ill rb with proof. maybe.

Future Voltron Multiverse fic plans
There are many tropes that I love in fanfiction. However one of my favorites is dimension travel, So, I was stoked when VLD introduced the rifts and multiverse...and then I was severally disappointed when they didn't dig into that further. So! I'm doing it myself!!!
The fic will be taking place a year post-canon, but Allura will still be alive, because she deserves a happy ending with her goofy red paladin. Yes, I'm keeping Allurance, I'm giving the ship the chance it deserves, and I don't care what anyone thinks, this is a canon-ship, and I'm tired of Klance trying to snuff out any other possible ships in this fandom. Ships, I will also include will, be Kacxa, Krolia/Keith's Father (I'll be naming him Kenneth in this, as that is what Keith's father was named in other continuties of voltorn), Hunk/shay (minor), Ezor/Zethrid, Shiro/Adam (maybe I'm still working on how to fit in their storyline), Kolivon/Antok (only in flashbacks so far cause Antok is still dead)...and will see what else happens, This is most going to be focusing on the Gen Relationships (AKA Friendships/Family relationships) in the story.
The main plot will be kicked off after two blade agents from another, dying reality end up traveling to the main one. After the fact the two realities, the main one and scrapes of whatever was left of the dying one, merge, destabilizing space. Now rifts to other realites are opening and shutting at random, and letting things from other worlds in, the timeline is shifting, bringing people back form the dead, and sending our heroes to other ones.
Currently I'm planning on three different main travel archs, One to the Voltron Force universe, one to the 80s Voltron universe, and one to a universe where voltron is newly created and the orginal VLD paladins are still in control.
This fic will also include, Blade/Good!Lotor, Keith grows fangs, Humans are f-ing weird, Blade!Acxa, Blade!Ezor, Blade!Zethrid, Krolia has claimed Shiro as her own even if no one else realizes it, BlackPaladin!Keith, Galra head-canons, Trying to understand what the heck is Altean Alchemy, Altean!Vince?, Pidge being a master of Chaos, Good sibling relationships!, Minor/Major OCs, There's going to be a lot of head-canons in this, Coran gets to be a Pop-pop in the epilogue, Awkward as f Zarkon, Mild Themes of Racism towards Half-breeds, The holts take no sh*t from anyone, Voltron teams interacting with their dobblegangers, Garret makes an appearance, the rift creatures will try to kill everyone, Nerdy!Lotor, Pidge, hunk and Lotor are bros, Shenajens and Hijinks, ShortHaired!Allura, Team Voltron sticks together, laughs together, and fights together, Cultural differences, some parts will be funny, some parts are super sad.
Let me know if your interested in this future work, and I will post a link when I upload the first chapter
#voltron legendary defender#vld#fic prompt#multiverse#voltron force#80s voltron#original voltron paladins#allurance#kacxa#krolia#Kenneth is Kieth's dad's name#continuity crossover#dimension travel#time travel#Ithink this counts#voltron fanfic#oc#scifi#blade of marmora#galra keith#galra empire#headcanon#fic planning#fanfic#not klance

Visions I have of the 80’s Jaith AU
Disclaimer: this is meant to be an AU accurate to the gay community in the late 70s-early 80s. It will be dark and portrays survival sex work, addiction, AIDS, era accurate homophobia, etc. it will also reflect how queer people viewed themselves and different identities during that period.
Shiro who plucks homeless queer teens off the street and helps them find places to stay.
Hustler Keith who works the local gay bar
Drag Queen/trans woman Allura
Lance and Hunk are together and also own the local gay bar.
Butch lesbian Pidge who appears exactly once when she tries sneaking in with the world’s most obvious fake ID.
Arab James who remembers Beirut when it was the Paris of the Middle East (sorry this one is self-indulgent I know)
College professor Dr Ina Leifsdottir and her “roommate” Nadia Rizavi, a local journalist
Kinkade is there. I don’t know what he’s doing yet. But he is there. Same with Coran.

i've been talking abt my voltron playlists and @iveofficiallygonemad asked to hear them and i want to share with anybody who wants!! i know they're not perfect, i'm working on them & trying to make them better. if you have any recommendations for any of them, let me know!! there's like A Lot and i want to give a lil explanation for most of them, so i'm putting them under the cut ^-^
SO first i have my favorite one <3 it's just. all of them. it's the whole team. it's a mess and it's a bunch of different genres because it's them fighting over the aux cord on a road trip. it's them trying to make each other laugh or annoy each other or play something catchy enough it will infect everyone in the vicinity with brain worms.
Hunk: i'm pretty happy with my Hunk playlist! chill vibes. he strikes me as the kind of guy who listens to calm music to try to find his own calm, and that's what i got here :)
Pidge: this is messier and less cohesive than my usual playlist because frankly i think pidge would have a shit taste in music. all over the board. this is a mix of meme songs and 8-bit covers and vocaloid and stuff that i think pidge would genuinely connect with, and i think pidge listens to all their music on shuffle without any regards for genre or mood because they're a gremlin. nobody gives pidge sole control of the aux.
Coran hears 80's music for the first time and loses his mind. He thinks ABBA is humanity's single greatest achievement.
Lance: i have ideas about where I'm going with this but haven't really settled yet. Lance seems like the kind of boy that loves to dance (is that canon? i forgot) so most of these are Bops That Make You Move in some way or another. he likes to present an upbeat face to the world, so there's no angsting in this playlist! we are clinging to the things that make us happy with both hands until our knuckles turn white!
Keith: i'm gonna be honest. i made him a playlist but i honestly don't think he cares about music very much. it's very important to some people! he's just not one of them! i haven't cracked this playlist open in a while but i'm pretty sure it's full of songs that i think he would conceivably train/work out to.
Shiro: this playlist involves the dumbest headcanon i have for shiro that has just not left me alone since i first thought of it. most of the playlist reflects the fact that he had an emo phase in middle school (that one isn't a headcanon, you just have to look at him to know) but BUT there are a few songs on here that are on here because. little known fact. he also went through a Twilight phase that he told nobody about. (keith knows. keith was there.) he has the entire twilight soundtrack memorized. he moved past the story but the music stays forever. he used to daydream about slow dancing to Flightless Bird, American Mouth. the first time Coran mentions that they have to avoid a place because there's a supermassive black hole there, he has to bite his tongue in order to keep a straight face. do NOT ask me why i believe this so wholeheartedly.
Allura's playlist sucks right now. I think it's because in my heart of hearts i know that, were she on earth today, she would go fucking nuts for taylor swift. i have ambivalent feelings for taylor swift. i cannot do allura justice like this. if you see my vision and have recs as to what might actually fit her, PLEASE.
Klance: i haven't done it yet but i'm gonna go through this and sort it to be a sort of progression of their relationship, starting with the more combative Rivalry songs, then slipping into "oh shit oh shit" songs, then maybe ending on the more lighthearted purely romantic songs <3
(i have two songs in a shallura playlist which does not at all encapsulate how much i'm obsessed with them. the tiny cop inside my head is just constantly screaming at me that i'm going to get yelled at for liking shallura. i am going to kill the cop inside my head.)
#mj talks#oooooh i don't know if i actually want to put this in the show tag. that's a lot of people. that's a lot of people that might see this.#fuck it we ball#voltron#anyway. as i said if you like music and you have songs that you think fit please send em over#also who wants to talk about shallura? i want to talk about shallura.#i rewatched the first ~3 seasons (the best part of the show and some of season 3) with my roommate a while back and.#ngl if we're strictly talking about the show itself and not fanworks. i care about shallura SO much more than i care about klance.#oh i should probably tag#klance#in case anyone has that blacklisted and just doesn't wanna see it#BACK TO MY POINT.#rewatch seasons 1 and 2 and you will see there was a REASON everyone included shallura in the background of their fics#and it wasn't just shoving 'space mom' and 'space dad' together#there is a very real and very compelling dynamic there. the mutual respect. the connection that comes with taking responsibility.#watch shiro's whole deal after allura gets herself captured so that he can go free and try telling me it's all in my head. just TRY.#anyway i have a lot of complicated thoughts about shiro's sexuality and most of them boil down to I Don't Think It Was Planned#i think they shoved it in last minute because somebody higher up#(not the writers i don't blame u writers i know that you have people breathing down your necks telling you what you can and can't do)#some higherup didn't like any queer storylines that might have been in the works and pulled them from the show#but then there was fan backlash because... gay people are loud now? people wanted A Queer In Space? wild thought#so they had to save their ass and actually deliver on what they had promised in interviews/on the internet/idk i didn't keep up too much#because it was so clumsily revealed! there was no buildup!#it felt very shoehorned to me unfortunately. when a) they had already built a solid and compelling potential relationship for shiro#(see above)#and b) klance was? right there? like. dude. you /had/ to have seen that. or at least some of it????#backstory dead fiance was not the best move vis a vis queer representation and i reject him#if you want me to care about a relationship try going back to storytelling basics and Show Don't Tell :)#not giving you brownie points for that 'queer representation' :)#anyway. that's my shallura manifesto in the notes.

vld characters music headcanons
I'm writing a band fic (original i know) and I started thinking about what the main characters all listen to so I had to write it out
Lance:
We know he’s a pop / rap / r&b girlie. He loves what was cool in the 90s and 2000s. Fugees, Britney, Backstreet Boys, Amy Winehouse, Katy Perry etc.
Will randomly start dancing the choreography from his favorite music videos
Also loves classical music
Lance and Hunk listen to a lot of the same music since they grew up together
Keith:
Emo. You saw it coming. He has the Kellin Quinn hair.
Country - and not just our og emo boy Johnny Cash. Man will defend Dolly Parton with his entire heart.
Nu metal, which everyone makes fun of him for.
Ends up loving pop and r&b after Lance and Hunk make him listen to it
Pidge:
Electronic, obviously. Anything that goes wowowowowow m chk m chk beep boop. Ranges from obscure ass hard techno beats to Grimes
Also totally vibes with punk and pop punk. Black flag but also blink 182, yknow?
Weird metal / math rock / djent stuff
Hunk:
80s synth pop/rock!! Eurythmics, New Order, Depeche Mode, David Bowie
Modern alt pop - WILLOW, Clairo, IDK How
Overpowered singers - Queen, Nina Simone, Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, Lizzo
He and Pidge jam out to old punk music together.
Shiro:
No one expects it, but he loves grunge. (He played rhythm guitar for his grunge band in high school)
He’s a huge Riot Grrrl enjoyer
Shiro and Keith listen to each others music a lot, though Shiro would never admit he likes it.
He and Hunk both love shoegaze.
Allura:
Idk what kind of music they had on Altea so this is just gonna be Earth stuff
She loves Florence + the Machine.
Pidge introduces her to electronic art pop and she ends up liking it a lot
Likes a little bit of everything, but her favorite genre is punk rock.
Coran:
Gets super into psychedelic music. Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, you name it.
Loves disco music. And dancing. He gets pretty disappointed when he finds out that people don’t go to the disco anymore.
FUNK.
They ALL love MARINA and Fleetwood Mac. Those artists are irresistible and I will die on this hill.

As Color Fades Away
⚠️ long fic warning ⚠️
Author: IcyPanther
Words: 432,653
Chapters: 80
Author Summary:
"There is no escape for you, Paladin," Haggar whispered, voice echoing from the very depths of his mind and filling Lance with a horror and dread he could not begin to describe. "Not from this ship. Not from death." She let out a soft laugh that rang with dark promise. "And especially not from me." / In which Zarkon desires the Black Lion and the Blue Paladin pays the price.
My Summary:
Words cannot even begin to describe this absolute QUEEN of Voltron fan fics. Icypanther is truly an outstanding author! Her love for the fandom clearly shows through not only this fic but all of hers! This fic- while long, is Lance centric but also exhibits the relationship between every paladin and lance as well as the paladins with each other. Lance deserves all the love! I’ll recommend this fic again and again it’s definitely publish worthy!
Rating: Teen and Up
Warnings: Graphic Depictions Of Violence
Relationships: Lance & Everyone (no romantic)
Characters: Paladins, Allura, Coran, Haggar, and Theodek (Icypanther OC)
Enjoy :) <3

Monsters and Mana 2 - Save the World, Get the Girl - Chapter 14
Character: Keith Kogane, Pidge Gunderson/Katie Holt, Lance McClain, Hunk Garrett, Shirogane Takashi, Coran, Princess Allura, Matt Holt
Pairings: Keith/Pidge
Summary: Shiro still hasn't given up!
A/N:
Hey guys, wow, apologies for how long it has been but I have a seriously good excuse! I really haven't been well. In fact I just came home after four days in the hospital having blood transfusions and a minor procedure! I'm still not quite 100% back up to my usual pain-addled self, but I am definitely better than I was. Basically, and incredibly long story made short, I had been unable to barely move since last week with high heart rate, gasping for breath on moving, called an ambulance Sunday AND Tuesday, was gaslit by paramedics and my doctor, and put my foot down and demanded to be taken to the emergency room. Good thing I did! I had been having bleeding for over five years that the doctor had ignored every single time I brought it up, and my haemoglobin level, well, seriously low is classed as 70-80. Mine was 63! So yeah, 2 emergency transfusions, a minor procedure to stop the bleeding, four days in hospital, a leak in a transfusion, three days on only clear fluids and days where they forgot I could actually eat, that's just the tip of the iceberg! I wondered why my makeup no longer matched my skin tone and it was because I was YELLOW!
Anyway. home again now to recover, what a way to spend my girls' last half term of the school year until they finish in July! To think in the Easter hols I had covid, and now this! I'm no longer making any plans for school breaks because I seem to be getting more ill with each passing one!
‘Blood spurts forth from the wound, spraying the nearest to the corpse, that’s you, Allura, and you Keith. Luckily you were both standing otherwise it would have been more than your boots that received a new paint job!’ Coran announced cheerily as everyone looked at Shiro in shock.
‘What? It’s right here on my character sheet! I’m a bloodthirsty master thief!’ He tapped on the screen a few times to demonstrate. ‘Of course, if you’d let me reroll…’
‘No!’ Coran, Lance, and Allura yelled as one, not having realised the lengths Shiro was willing to go to to try and be a paladin again.
‘Okay, but I’m not going to pull any punches.’ Shiro leaned back in his seat and folded his arms.
‘Good! The point in you having a character that contrasts with your own is that you get to act in ways you wouldn’t normally. Just like Lance being polite to Keith, and Pidge being ladylike.’
‘You are so lucky she can’t hear you.’ Allura shook her head.
‘Well, she’s going to have to now. It’s time I took the story back to her.’ Coran rapped his knuckles on the bubble surrounding Pidge, who was happily sitting crosslegged finishing off her nachos.
She glanced up with a look Keith recognised, she had zoned out on what was going on around her and zoned in on whatever she was working on on the tablet. The bubble disappeared with a bloop as she tapped on her wrist computer. ‘Did we win?’
‘Not yet. We’re going back to you now.’ Coran scrolled to a hastily put together page on his tablet.
‘Wait.’ Keith said before she activated her bubble again and picked up a napkin. He carefully wiped the corner of Pidge’s lip where she had a little soured cream. ‘Now you’re good.’ He smiled at her as the rest of the table watched her cheeks turn brightest red.
‘Thanks.’ She murmured, the bubble popping into existence between them as though it could shield her embarrassment.
‘Now, where were we?’
‘We? No, me and Keith weren’t anywhere! Why would you say that?’ She laughed nervously.
‘I mean, where were you in your adventure. We as in you and me as player and monster master.’ Coran leaned towards her, under the pretence of seeing if she understood that was what he meant but hoping to get a glimpse of her changes.
‘Right!’ Pidge clutched the tablet to her chest protectively. ‘So, that light I was following was coming closer?’

Okay I’ve thought about it and I think that since they’ll likely be drawing from the original show, pandering to a nostalgic-for-the-80s American audience, that Henry Cavill is going to play Sven. They’ll take away the pseudo-Scandinavian accent and make his death super tragic and impactful for Keith, who will use it as inspiration to… lead better or something idk. It’ll either happen very early on or near the end of the movie.
Also, if Coran is anyone but Rhys Darby, I’m gonna throw hands.

27 juin : les Sept Dormants, saints climatiques allemands
Le 27 juin, les catholiques allemands célèbrent les Sept Dormants d'Éphèse (Siebenschläfertag). Si cette journée est connue, c’est surtout à cause des dictons climatiques qui l’accompagnent, un peu comme la Saint-Médard des Français (le 8 juin). Il est un fait que la première semaine de juillet est souvent très pluvieuse en Bavière. Si c’est le cas, l’été le sera aussi.
Siebenschläfertag est « le Jour du loir », en allemand, mais ce jour n’a rien à voir avec le rongeur réputé pour son long sommeil. L’histoire des Sept Dormants d’Éphèse est une légende commune aux chrétiens et aux musulmans. Il s’agit de sept jeunes gens convertis au christianisme à l’époque de persécutions contre cette religion (au milieu IIIe siècle). Réfugiés dans une grotte ils se seraient endormis pour 2 ou 3 siècles (le récit varie) pour se réveiller à une époque où cette religion s’est imposée. À Éphèse, aujourd’hui en Turquie, la grotte supposée a été transformée en église (tombée en ruine). On trouve des traces du culte des Sept Dormants dans diverses régions d’Europe, notamment en Bretagne où ils font l’objet d’un culte islamo-chrétien. Depuis 1954, un pèlerinage se déroule notamment chaque 3e dimanche de juillet au Vieux-Marché, localité des Côtes d’Armor. Ils font l’objet d’une grande vénération dans toute l’Europe. Leurs reliques (supposées) ont été repérées à Rome, en Allemagne, au Luxembourg, en Espagne, mais aussi dans la basilique de l’abbaye Saint-Victor à Marseille. À Marmoutiers, près de Tours, une chapelle abrite une crypte avec les sept sarcophages des Sept Dormants, considérés comme des cousins de saint Martin, tombés soudain « dans un sommeil éternel »...
La XVIIIe sourate du Coran, consacrée aux « Gens de la Caverne » (sourat al-Kahf, la sourate de la Caverne), propose le même récit. Ces jeunes endormis sont vénérés en différents lieux du monde musulman du Maroc au Turkestan chinois. À Guidjel (Algérie), près de Sétif, sept piliers romains dans un cimetière sont considérés comme les tombes des Seb’Ruqûd (Sept Dormants) et la huitième celle de leur chien. Rachid Koraïchi, un artiste algérien a esquissé un rapprochement entre eux et les sept moines de Tibhirine dans un hommage rendu aux martyrs de la guerre civile.
Les catholiques fêtent ces saints le 27 juillet et les Orientaux le 4 août. Autrefois, en Europe, ils étaient célébrés le 7 juillet du calendrier julien. Ce qui, dans la tradition allemande, les a placés le 27 juin du calendrier grégorien. Selon le dicton, s’il pleut le jour de Siebenschläfertag, il pleut durant sept semaines. En somme, les Sept-Dormants annoncent un été pourri ou non. En vérité, il faut surtout tenir compte de la période du 5 au 10 juillet. Statistiquement, ont observé les météorologues allemands, elle détermine l’ambiance climatique de l’été qui va suivre. Cela est vrai à 70% pour le sud de l’Allemagne et même à 80% pour Munich.
Wie das Wetter am Siebenschläfer sich verhält, ist es sieben Wochen lang bestellt.
Wenn's am Siebenschläfer regnet, sind wir sieben Wochen mit Regen gesegnet.
Das Wetter am Siebenschläfertag sieben Wochen bleiben mag.
