(unfortunately, all my fics on AO3 can currently only be read by registered users due to Elon Musk trying to pirate the site to train a writing AI and me wanting none of that, ugh) Story description: 
Belos knew that he might not get enough Titan’s Blood to activate the portal, but that’s ok, he’s always got a plan B.
Unfortunately, his plan B was currently on the run...

One of the things that gets me about the 'Vilgax possessed Kevin to build the Antitrix' theory (and it is a theory at best, the closest thing we have to evidence is his claiming Kevin was a 'vessel' with which to build it, but that can just as easily be read as 'I tossed the blueprints at you so you'd build it and it'd be ready when I got back', and the latter would make a lot more sense given if he'd possessed Kevin to get it done then why fucking let him keep a hold of it? why not hide it somewhere and then kill the kid? not like he's got some moral stance against it, and it would mean less hassle getting it back) is that this isn't something we see Vilgax do. Ever. We've seen weird shit with Vilgax and dreams in OS (and given Duncan Rouleou has stated that shit was due to being bound by fragments of Vilgax's DNA in the Omnitrix if we can already assume either that shit was expanded on or that even pre-watch there was Something going on with Kevin), but at no point are we ever given any indication that he can fucking possess people (which you'd think would have been utilized at some point before).
Like, the 'Vilgax either purposefully provided Kevin with the blueprints through a dream either so that it could be premade when he returned or accidentally provided the blueprints while for some reason fucking around in fuckers' heads and was saved face when somebody actually managed to build it by claiming it was on purpose' theory requires us to believe that Vilgax utilized a power other versions of him have already been shown to have to, on purpose or not, provide the blueprints he had already for the Antitrix to Kevin- who we see in the sequel series is a skilled mechanic and engineer and are shown during the reboot was already doing engineering as a child and regularly continued working on, fixing, and improving the Antitrix over the course of the show- who then built it.
Meanwhile the 'Vilgax possessed Kevin and built the Antitrix himself' theory requires us to believe that Vilgax pulled out a new power, off-screen, and used it the one time to not only possess an actual child with all the material access limitations that comes with but also for some reason leaves the resulting watch with the child, opening himself up to things like the risk of him breaking it and giving himself an added hassle as far as getting his hands on the damn thing when he did get back, rather than just hiding the watch somewhere safe and offing the witness.
So yeah, I'm going with the former.
#personally i'm of the 'vilgax purposefully showed off the blueprints but didn't expect anybody to actual be able to work with them' camp#like- after his attempt to get the power core he needed to make the things went as south as possible he decided to poke around some heads#got his little dreamwalker mitts on the best engineering minds to see if he could rubber duck off them to work out some ideas#for things on earth he could use to build a suitable substitute power source#only to find out when he got to earth that one of the fuckers had actually managed to understand the blueprints enough#and either worked out a suitable enough powersource or understood what vilgax came up with#and made his own#cue going 'oh hey that makes shit so much easier' but also playing it up like his plan all along#because like hell he's admitting this *human child* surprised him#it doesn't require him to pull out new off-screen powers or to be enough of a fool that he just leaves shit with random kids for no good re#and doesn't let the sort've fuckers that brush off any sign kevin has more than two brain cells linger around coming up with excuses#once had a fucker honestly come onto one of my posts and claim that *ben* at 16 had *clearly* modded the omnitrix in UA#because there was no way the member of the team that is *regularly shown* working with machines and tech was smart enough to#because 'good at math' apparently overrides 'the tech guy' status if the alternative is kevin being intelligent#fuckers in this fandom describing kevin as 'a passable mechanic' and they expect me to take their asses seriously

The 10th P.I.X.A.L
Alternative Names: The Most Expensive P.I.X.A.L, The Dragons Jewel.
Fun Fact: She is known as the Most Expensive P.I.X.A.L ever built as her budget estimates reach between 120 to 150 million. Cyrus has never publicly shared the exact price, though it's public knowledge that her frame is entirely rhodium, and she has a Shintaro Crystal as her Powersource.

Welcome to the New Realm
Okay I'm having fun with this so have what I am writing out
Ladies Gents and the They Thems or whichever pronouns you prefer I present to you the Realm 14 Borg Siblings meeting their Counterparts!
But honestly writing 2 Cyrus's is a trip ngl
.
.
Their Dad's sat in front them, one had a contraption on his legs rather then the usual wheelchair, he was leaned on the desk,
"Okay now that we have over 30 kids let's go down the list to make sure everybody is here" the Cyrus in the wheelchair said
"okay we definitely need name tags" Victoria and Violet muttered at the same time,making the others snort
"I'm Realm 15 Cyrus" he tapped a number on his Lapel"We already came up with this to identify who is who, also the 14th Realm Cyrus has his exo skeleton"
The other waved,.actually pushing off the desk and standing up using a cane
"I built this as an alternative to my wheelchair I just need a cane to keep balance, I just use the wheelchair when they are charging,"
They nodded as his counterpart looked to him,
"Just alert if and when you do need a wheelchair I'm pretty sure my spare would work for you"
"Thank you"
Cyrus 15 nodded and looked back to them, looking at the clipboard,
"It shouldn't be too hard to identify who's who's with us. Siblings I think Quixie Harriet and then Simone, Jennifer and Pixal are the duplicates, but even they have differences," Freida said logically,
"I'm pretty sure I am not like I was years ago a fashionista princess" Simone snorted side, eyeing her counterpart, who was redoing her lipstick and make-up,
She closed the compact, meeting her counterparts optics with an incredulous look,
" But if you're not doing fashion darling, then what are you doing?" She scoffed,"probably ended up on the corner,"
Simone broke out into laughter, her siblings trying not to laugh, as their Mirror Realm Counterparts stared Wesely saying
"No way"
Simone opened her jacket, pulling out a vape
" oh honey you're in for a rude awakening as yes exactly that is what I am. I stopped working on the streets about 5 years ago. Nowadays, I entertain in the most popular strip club in Ninjago or, well, formerly Ninjago," She took a hit, letting out the smoke with a smirk yelping as she got pelted by not one but 2 pens
"No Vaping in the office" Cyrus 15 snipped she grinned tucking the device away,
She then turned around, shimmying her jacket down, showing the brand of Borg Industries on her shoulder, but also all the rest of the tattoos and when she turned around they spotted the blackened skin around her powersource,
Her counterpart was left speechless as Simone laughed,
"I also have a wife. Elora who's in the same field."
Cyrus 14 asked his counterpart dumbfounded "How in the World?"
Simone interupted pulling her jacket back on but leaving it unzipped,
"Oh got into car batteries and the likes Daddy over here disowned me for a bit he did pay for my apartment for a while but wouldn't give me an allowance so in order to feed my habit I went out and got a job that makes money quick"
"Yeah, she's our chaotic one. Former Prostitute and current stripper," Chloe chirped
"Says the Hacker," Violet muttered
" yeah needless to say there's more than one kid of mine that turned out to be quite chaotic"Cyrus 15 shook his head looking a bit exasperated "Kids"
Chloe leveled him with a look,
" well you didn't build me originally to be your daughter you're forgetting to tell them I was originally your fiance"
That made a few of the Realm 14 crew burst out laughing as Cyrus 14s face grew red
"Yeah uh Ginny was the same, only she stuck with being a teacher, unlike Chloe who sounds like went a complete different way"
Ginny nodded,
" I have taught kindergarteners for close to 7 years now. I hoped to someday find someone and have a family after our Cyrus discovered himself during my absence…. by the way where is your husband,"
"What?!" The 15th realms inhabitants shrieked making the 14th realms inhabitants wince
" I was waiting to tell them because it appears here, everything did not go according to how it went in our Realm. I have already done research on him, here and he was a villain outright. Cyrus of this realm did not offer out a hand like I did"
He turned around to the confused appearance of their counterparts
"during the events of the time twins, I offered my hand out to Acronix and he took it, we became fast Friends and I was able to bring him back over to the side of good, he himself took down Krux with my help."
He leaned on the desk shrugging
" for the first couple years, Acronix really showed his intelligence with technology, one day he showed me a security flaw that I had not noticed and only he noticed because he hacked into the system to show me. So he became our white hat hacker to make sure all of our security devices have no flaws
" and I'm guessing over years and years you too fell for each other," Violet carefully said the sheepish grin giving her her answer along with him pulling out a necklace with a ring on it She sighed, "oh dear I best make a call to the chief he's probably already arrested your husband thinking he's our Acronix who escaped,"
" how did you have a direcrt line to the chief" Eris asked raising an eyebrow, but Violet already was talking to someone,
" you are looking at the mayor of our city" Felix said with pride,
Now it was their counterparts turned to be surprised
"Whoa, so instead of a doctor in your guys realm Violet became mayor?"
He nodded
"Yeah, she was a lawyer but after the mess of a situation with the overlord part two she decided to run, she is the most powerful woman in the city"
They turned their heads as they heard,
" yeah thank you chief figured as much glad we could get that sorted out" Violet looked to them as she tucked her phone away "yep they already had Acronix locked up he's already been saying he's not the one they're looking for, Chief will be escorting him here as quickly as he can,"
"Oh thank the first Spinjitzu Master Dad's alright," Harriet 14 said clutching her chest,looking beyond relieved to the confusion of the others,
" he can be a bit dim witted at times intelligence is high, common sense or wisdom however is non existent, so him running around Ninjago, it's like letting a cat out into the streets," Victoria explained to the snorts of the others
"So while he's on the way let's get this head count going"
For the next few minutes they called out names,
"Only the Pixals are missing," Cyrus 15 said
"They're probably at the Monestary can someone try to get to them?"
"On it!" Chloe said as the Elevator asked
Acronix Chromos Identified as wishing permission-
"Granted!" Cyrus 15 called out and the groups barely had moved out the way of the elevator before a giant blur ran past them Cyrus 14 laughing as Acronix picked him up and spun him around,
"Oh thank the first Spinjitzu master you're alright!" He crowed, "I was heading here when I got hog tied,"
They shared a quick kiss, before Cyrus 14 responded,
"Well your here now thanks to my Counterparts daughter,"
As gentle as possible, Acronix set the other back down looking over at Violet
"I heard thank you, Mayor Borg,"
"It was no problem," She responded, watching as he went over to their Counterparts,
"You kids okay?" He started checking them over as the other group stared
"Wow," Chloe finally said, "This is so strange, it's like he's a normal civilian"

Our Complete Guide To Watts, Volts, Amps, and Ohms - Powersource Electric
Watts, volts, amps, and ohms are all electrical units of measure. Watts (W) is a measure of power, volts (V) are a measure of potential difference or voltage, amps (A) are a measure of electric current, and ohms (Ω) are a measure of resistance. These four units are related to one another by the following equation:
P = VI = I^2R
Where P is power in watts, V is the difference in volts, I is current in amps, and R is resistance in ohms. This equation shows that watts are equal to volts times amps, or alternatively that they’re equal to the square of the current multiplied by the resistance.
In conclusion, watts, volts, amps, and ohms are all important units of measure for electricity. They tell us how much power is being generated (watts), the force behind the flow of electrons (volts), the rate at which electrons are flowing (amps), and the resistance to the flow of current (ohms).

UPDATED:Voltron S8 Predictions
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD BEWARE*
It’s been a couple of months since the S7 premiere and there have been a lot of theories going around about what is going to happen in Season 8. I had my own theory, but it wasn’t very specific about exactly what’s going to happen. I just threw out some guess based on what I had seen while I was watching, but I wasn’t exactly sure where a lot of it was going at the time. At this point I think I am just about ready to make an educated guess about the upcoming events in the final season of Voltron. The crew works so hard on this show and they try very hard not to make any mistakes, meaning every small detail is important. Not to mention, how much Voltron LOVES it’s character parallels. Here I will be covering both the future basic plot and what ships become canon, including all endings beyond this. This is all my opinion and my predictions, but IDK.
So who will be the new villain?
The answer to this question is actually pretty simple and I think that most of the fandom has figured it out.
Haggar.
Tumblr media
Well, sort of. Because, this here^ isn’t Haggar. This is Honerva. Haggar was Zarkon’s second hand, a witch. She was totally insane and her memory was corrupt. But it’s obvious, even if just by her appearance that she isn’t Haggar anymore. She even confronts Lotor on the topic when she tries to get him on her side. She has accepted and embraced her original identity.
Either way, we haven’t seen her since season 6. We’ve heard that she abandoned her army of druids, but we have no canon mentions of her current whereabouts. We know she went to Oriande to learn the secrets of Altean Alchemy. Where is she now? We don’t know. But we can make pretty good guesses as to where she went since then. First stop, was the quantum abyss. She learned about the altean colony from Shiro’s Clone. She knows where it is, how to get there, what Lotor has been doing with their quintessence, their viewpoint on lotor- basically she knows everything that we do. Which is why they were gone when the blades went to go try to find the colony. It’s also why she abandoned her druids.
What is the dynamic between Honerva and the Altean Colony? Who is the mysterious Altean we see at the end of Season 7? What was with that random crazy robot that came out of nowhere?
Honerva and the Alteans are building fighter robots like the one we saw at the end of Season 7.
Tumblr media
We get a glimpse of evidence pointing towards this at the VERY end of season 7, with the appearance of this mysterious Altean who was apparently piloting that crazy powerful Altean ship. Allura comments on the ships altean technology, but as of season 7 we have seen the blending of technologies from different cultures and there are vast differences between this and what we’ve seen so far of Altean technology. Personally, I believe that the robot is a mix of Altean technology and Galra technology, because of the purple quintessence powering the robot and just because of the robots general design. It just screams HONERVA WAS HERE. Like, we’ve seen Haggar build plenty of “robots” and it would be fair to assume that Honerva does have all of her memories from her time spent as Haggar. I do have more evidence behind this that I will explain later, but yeah.
Why?
Okay, so Honerva is building powerful AF robots. But why? We know that Honerva is a scientist and that she is obsessed with unlocking the secrets behind quintessence, but her current motives are unknown. Well we can examine the robot, the way the robot works, previous robots, and the Altean pilot and actually get a pretty good guess here.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So this Robot has the ability to drain quintessence from things using its double swords, which are actually really cool and unique looking. I love the purple translucent-
Tumblr media
Yeah, okay, so obviously not an exact match. I know. Of course, it’s been around 6 years since Haggar built Shiro’s robo-galra arm and she did kinda half ass that thing at the time too. But my point is that the general design, color scheme, functionality line up. Also the purple lightning is exactly the same. I just wanted to put that out there to prove that the robot has Galran technology in it and that it’s very likely that it’s Honerva’s work. Anyway, so the sycle/ double sword blades can drain the quintessence from Voltron (draining quintessence from living beings was also a huge part of Honervas work back when when was Haggar, more supporting evidence!) and this thing is obviously built for fighting. It’s speed, agility, power, and self defence protocols are insane.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
It has shapes very similar to that of Zarkon’s armor and Lotor’s robot, but it’s much thinner and more flexible than either of these two. In fact, Voltron wasn’t even able to beat this robot by itself, it needed help from ATLAS constantly, which just goes to show how powerful this thing is. In which raises the question, why did Honerva send it out to fight against Voltron when she did? It was completely random and sure there was an element of surprise, but it still lost and they didn’t even have any sort of robot recovery team or backup. There is no way that she would have assumed that it would just defeat Voltron straight out, even with the robots overwhelming power she knows Voltrons capabilities and to always expect the unexpected. She is smart, a literal evil genius scientist. A scientist. Which is why I believe that this robot was an experiment. She was testing the abilities of the robot she built, seeing how she could improve her creation, experimenting with its limits. That robot was expendable. A prototype, a test subject. Which makes it even more terrifying than it already was. Earlier you might have noticed that I said Honerva was building robots, in the plural, and that’s the explanation here. Honerva is building an army of these robots with the help of the Altean colony.
What would she need an army of quintessence stealing, all powerful robots for? What do the Alteans from the Colony get out of any of this?
Well there are lots of answers for those questions. Quintessence is the main powersource that the Galra have been using for centuries. In order to obtain this quintessence the galra had to extract it from planets and, in Lotor’s case, people. Let’s say that when Honerva arrived at the Altean Colony that she told them the truth about the second colony. Now I have in the past theorized that Lotor’s original purpose for extracting the quintessence from the Alteans in the second colony was so that he could continue to power their ship and that he had all intentions of returning quintessence to their bodies once he finally had access to unlimited quintessence (Hence the numerous number of healing pod like chambers throughout the small section of the second colony that we saw in Romelles flashback). If this is true and Honerva conveyed that specific to the members of the colony, if they are like Romelle, I think that they would want to shut everything down ASAP. Also, Honerva being their “savior” would probably give them a lot of trust in her. So they would probably turn to her for help. They don’t know anything about quintessence, where to get it or how to use it. And this is an entire civilization that needs to be provided for.
Honerva is smart, I know I’ve said this before, but like hear me out. Like, what if after they asked her about quintessence she then explains that most of the quintessence is controlled by the Galra race, who destroyed Altea, and that they dominate a good majority of the universe. The Alteans decide to go to war against the Galra, in attempt to free the universe from their reign and to usher the world into a new era of peace under purely Altean ideals, which is extremely possible given that it was kinda FORESHADOWED IN THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE EPISODE. Honerva then gets an army of quintessence thirsty Alteans under her finger without ever actually lying to them.
Tumblr media
That’s exactly what I think happened. It’s all really simple and it makes sense, tbh. All Honerve even has to do is have fun with her experiment, build an army of super cool robots, and sit back and watch. And the craziest bit is that she could totally turn against them at any given moment once the army is built.
How could Honerva manipulate the Robot army and turn against the Alteans?
See, this is the part where I get to talk about how the robot is piloted. So at the end of Season 7 we get a good glance at our Altean Pilot in her cockpit.
Tumblr media
The whole thing gives me major Attack On Titan vibes for some reason, but I just think that this is so cool. If you look at this small cockpit area you can see that her arms and legs are both restrained and that there don’t appear to be any controls for the robot. So how does she control the robot? Look at her head.
Tumblr media
There are two glowing purple lights on her forehead and no they aren’t just there for decoration. We’ve already seen technology like this back in the Altean Castle.
Tumblr media
The mind linking headgear that the paladins wore. Okay, so I just want to take a moment to say how cool this is. I mean, we’ve seen the paladins link with the lions and pilot them from inside prison cells using their minds, so it’s obvious that this sort of thing is totally possible in the Voltron universe and that it’s very likely that this is how the army is going to be piloted. I am just super excited. Anyway, with the way we’ve seen this specific technology work, multiple of these headgears could link together. I think that if Honerva built a piece of headgear, like IDK some sort of cool crown type thing, that could link to the robots and control them, that she would easily be able to overpower the pilots and take control of the army for herself. Like she needs people inside of each individual robot because they wouldn’t work otherwise, that’s how all of the robots work they need an actual pilot piloting them- plus they would totally act as extra batteries if quintessence is running low. And so yeah.
What does Honerva want?
Honerva’s research with quintessence has always been very focused/pointed in one very specific direction; using quintessence in order to change the laws of life and death. Although, not in the way Allura uses it to bring Lance and Shiro back to life. She has been in search of immortality, ultimate power. She wants to reopen the rift, but in order to do that she needs really powerful quintessence. Lotor discovered that the quintessence extracted from living beings, the Alteans, is far more powerful than regular quintessence that the Galra have used in the past. If Honerva can’t have access to the quintessence in the rift, then this is probably the next most successful course of action for her to pursue. But she is working with the Alteans, so she can’t extract their quintessence, like Lotor did. So who? Who will she be draining the quintessence from?
Voltron.
Tumblr media
More specifically the paladins themselves. She wants to recruit the paladins to her side and use their quintessence in order to obtain ultimate power. After all, the quintessence of the paladins is off the charts. They have strong enough quintessence in order to power Voltron, the most powerful weapon in the universe. And even after being drained they are able to regenerate more quintessence. They don’t react the way the Alteans on the second colony do after having their quintessence drained. The difference in that might be that the paladins are willing giving their life force and it was being forcibly take from the second colony alteans, but even then the Paladins seem to have either an endless supply of quintessence or such a large amount of quintessence within them that the amount they need to power Voltron is about a chip of the block. And I know that’s not how that metaphor is usually used, shut up.
Would Honerva even be able to successfully corrupt one of the paladins and how?
Yes. We actually have one paladin specifically who is extremely emotionally unstable and has very little moral support. He has little confidence in himself and rarely ever turns to others for help. We know that he is going to be on edge frequently throughout this season, which makes him a pretty easy target for Honerva. Have a guess?
Tumblr media
Honerva will get Keith to join her. Willingly. Keith has struggled a lot with who and what he is throughout the series. We’ve seen every single half Galra throughout the series have this inner battle, which is pretty much a battle between their inner “good” and “evil”. We all know that some Galra are born inherently good, like Krolia an Kolivan and majority of the blades. Which is actually why Keith ran away to join the blades in the first place. He was trying to prove to himself that he isn’t a monster or evil or a typical Galra that they’ve seen throughout the series. We’ve always known that Keith has been a bit of a hot head, aka he has a temper, but as of his battle with Shiro it seems a bit more as if that’s more of a primal instinct than it is typical anger. There is a scene during their battle where Keith has fangs and his eyes are very Galran with triangulated pupils/irises and yellow tinted backing.
Tumblr media
And he takes on multiple galran features throughout this battle, walking away with the galran mark on his cheek at the very end of their battle, which I will talk about more later as well. But when keith becomes emotionally agitated, specifically during battle, he has the ability to channel his inner Galra. Literally. And he doesn’t even know he is doing it. He spent months trying to prove that he isn’t some feral beast and he almost lost it during this fight. It leaves the terrifying lingering thought of “what if he hadn’t snapped out of it?” and I totally think that we will be seeing more of this, specifically the inner turmoil with keith throughout the series. But Honerva (and probably only Honerva because she is the only one besides keith who witnessed this fight- she saw the whole thing through clone shiro’s eyes) knows about all of this, and I think that she is going to take full advantage.
Tumblr media
Honerva will poke at Keith’s insecurities during a battle, similar to how Shiro’s clone did, and try to cut him off from the other paladins. But here, since Keith has nothing holding him back, he wont turn back once he starts to take on those Galran traits and become feral. It will probably happen a few episodes in, during which Keith becomes more and more agitated by the other paladins. And yeah, I am totally predicting a full on Keith Galra transformation once he get pushed over the edge by Honerva. After which, Honerva will convince him that he is a monster and that his friends won’t accept him like this. Keith, already believing this himself, goes with her. They don’t take the black lion with them, it will be left behind, because Honerva doesn’t need it and it symbolizes that Keith is leaving behind his life as a paladin.
Who will Pilot the Black Lion?
Not Coran. Sorry, that's a definite no. Just because everytime he has attempted to pilot a lion, it's been a big joke and giving that privilege to him now would just come across as a joke too. And I would love to say that Shiro will temporarily go back to piloting the black lion, but he needs to Pilot the ATLAS. So that leaves an opening for a pilot and we have several options for how things could continue. One of our current pilots could take on the position of being the pilot of the black lion. The most likely of our four remaining paladins to do this are Allura and Lance. Allura has been acting as sort of the leader of the group since the very beginning, but when it comes down to it she has made very little emotional growth throughout the series. She may make a good leader, but she isn’t mature enough to properly lead the paladins they way they need to be lead as Voltron. When is comes down to the tough decisions she tends to make the right decision overall, but her general actions are very volatile. Like when she was handling Lotor, her words were very harsh. She was attacking him verbally where she knew it would hurt, which is actually very childish. This would mean that she can’t actually talk Keith out of his current mindset, if anything she would only go to enrage him more.
Tumblr media
Lance on the other hand has been shown to have made huge strides in his emotional growth. But is he ready to lead? He is the current pilot of red making it seem that if Keith were to run off that he would take over piloting the black lion, like how Keith took over after Shiro. I think that losing Keith again would ignite a change in Lance. But would it be enough?
Either way we still have an opening for a new pilot. Personally I think we have 2 possibilities. Lotor. JK. No, as much as I think it would think it’s awesome to bring lotor back and have him pilot one of the lions, with the probabilities of Keith leaving in the first half of the season being really high, there just isn’t a logical time to place Lotor being extracted from the quantum rift by either Voltron or Honerva. Yet. So our two actual options are probably going to be Acxa and Matthew Holt. They are the only two characters that have gotten enough devoted screen time to take a place piloting one of lions. We know that they are both talented pilots and warriors and their personalities would fit well with any openings in the dynamic.
Tumblr media
Personally I believe that the best combination for this scenario would be with Lance piloting Black, Allura piloting Red, and Acxa piloting blue. Acxa is pretty cool headed, but she is also new to the whole “being good” thing. Although, I think that she would be willing to do whatever she could to help save Keith, because of how much of an inspiration he was to her. I’ve mentioned in a previous post that Acxa was originally save by Keith in the episode “Belly of the Weblum” and that was what inspired her to turn again Zethrid and Ezor. I specifically referenced the specific line “-but I knew that I had to find my own path. And it led me to you.” and how she looked at Keith when she said that. Keith means a lot to Acxa, but not in a romantic sense. He was a big part of her self discovery and as I said before an inspiration to her. Acxa piloting a lion also opens up an option to bring Zethrid and Ezor back into the scene and for the writers of the series to finally have them pick a side. Up until now Zethrid and Ezor have been more chaotic neutrals more than anything else, causing trouble for both sides. It would be nice to see our lesbian babies finally take a chill pill, join the paladins side, and get a nice happily ever after.
What about Allurance?
Hooray, I’m finally getting to the ships. That was sarcastic. Ships are always a very touchy topic for a lot of people, because there are a lot of different opinions out there and some people get really offended. I just want to say that I am not ship bashing, just speculating. This is my opinion on the logical course of action for the show to take. Anyway, so I have made a post before about why allurance shouldn’t become canon. But honestly? I think that Allura and Lances relationship is going to continue to go the way it’s been going. Allura and Lance are going to have several romantic/ flirtatious moments that will progress their relationship and maybe even a kiss. A lot of time passes at the end of Season 7 and so it gives them a lot of time to get closer.
Tumblr media
Of course, I still believe everything I said before about this relationship being extremely unstable and it would have an effect on the team too. Particularly, I think it will seriously piss Keith off. Actually, all of the paladins will piss Keith off, but Allura and Lance specifically. Allura is the only paladin that stays focused on the mission and is always suspicious, but she puts her guard down and gets distracted easily when she is in a relationship. Keith is probably the only paladin who doesn’t actually have a life outside of Voltron at this point and is probably very focused on training and being ready in case another one of those random robots comes onto the scene, while everyone else is going to spend their time relaxing with their families or inventing, etc. and so on. So yeah. Boy is gonna be pissed (especially if you take into account his learning about everything that happened while he was gone, aka Lance dying). Hunk will probably think that it’s cute and Pidge will probably think that it’s totally gross. And the whole thing is just going to throw off the team dynamic, which will piss off Keith even more.
But then they are ambushed by Honerva and lets say two or three of those crazy Altean war robots or something and by the end of the battle Honerva retreats with Keith. See, I said earlier that Keith going away with Honerva will ignite a change in Lance and it’s true. Lance has always had a weird sort of obsession with Keith and he get easily pissed off/ hurt whenever Keith does something stupid. It’s a big part of their dynamic. It hit him pretty hard when Keith left to join the blades too, because Lance knows Keith. He can recognize that mullet anywhere. He knew why Keith was really leaving to join the blade and he was concerned.
Tumblr media
Lance is going to become more hardened, in a sense, during his confusion with Keith leaving and probably the most determined to find Keith and kick his ass for being an idiot. Although, his obsession with Keith is going to be what finally breaks down his relationship with Allura. It was already really unstable and Lance and Allura will get into a fight, finally expressing their true feelings about their relationship. Allura will confront Lance about his fixation on finding Keith and Lance will blow her off, avoiding the topic, saying that she wouldn’t understand. Allura will continue to push Lance, concerned about what this means for their relationship. Lance will become overwhelmed and express that he feels that Allura is only in a relationship with him because Lotor is dead and he feels like a second choice. Allura will get angry at Lance for trying to compare himself to Lotor and Lance will take this in the wrong way, leading to him breaking things off with Allura and walking away from her. Allura will realize that she doesn’t actually feel hurt by Lance breaking up with her, because she didn’t have serious feelings for him. So yes, Allurance will be canon, but it will also be short lived, because of how unstable the relationship is.
What does this mean for Klance?
Well, there is an opening for Klance to happen, but its small and so they would have to play all their card right, but they are in a current position where they could make Klance canon. Although, it would be more towards the end of the show, as a resolve after having saved Keith from his own self destructive path, which is basically going to be one of the seasons bigger climaxes. But we will see some Klance pining moments, more specifically played out and hinted out through Lance. We will see some of this when Shiro comes out to the team as gay, but more of it when Shiro confronts Lance about his fixation on Keith after he breaks up with Allura. Although most actual Klance scenes will probably be more at the season finale so I will talk more about this later.
How to save Keith?
People have pointed out a lot of parallels between Lance and Alfor and Keith and Zarkon. So, some of the dedicated fans/ theorists probably have already figured out where I’m going with this. There has been a theory going around about there being a fight between Keith and Lance in Season 8, where Lance has his sword and him and Keith are doing hardcore one on one battle. And I honestly feel that this is going to be a necessary moment for the two of them.
Tumblr media
This moment will likely be the first time any of the Paladins actually see Keith since his Galra transformation and Lance will immediately understand why Keith went with Haggar. Although, the two of them are terrible at communicating their feelings so they will have a full on battle. During all of this the other paladin and ATLAS will very likely be in battle with the Altean Robots, while Honerva is trying to open a portal into the quantum rift using the quintessence she got from Keith. And as everything explodes and the chaos goes down around the two of them are trying to beat the living shit out of each other somewhere on honervas ship. At some point, Lance will appeal to Keith’s emotional side and snap out of it telling him that he accepts him no matter what (and this would be a perfect opportunity to have them kiss, just saying) and the two of them walk out of there together.
How will they stop Honerva?
They won’t. With an army of insanely powerful Altean robots on her side, she will be able to successfully open the portal to the rift. So, what now? Well, I personally believe that Honerva will salvage Lotors ship from the rift and try to resurrect her son, but something will go wrong because of his overexposure to the raw quintessence in the rift. Which would cause Honerva to become overwhelmed with grief and she will either die or become incapacitated. I also believe that we will see a return of the dark monsters from in the rift and that the Galra (brought in by Zethrid and Ezor), Alteans, team Voltron, and ATLAS will have to team up in order to get rid of all the monsters and close the portal to the rift. It would be one big final fight to clean up the mess that started 10,000 years ago.
Tumblr media
The aftermath:
The universe will be ushered into a new Era of peace. It will be a combined effort of the Galra empire, the Altean empire, the Blades, the Rebellion, Earth, and Voltron. Although, after 6-7 years of fighting in a war our Paladins would all finally retire from piloting the lions and the new team will take over, traveling the universe with the ATLAS and keeping peace, training under Shiro’s guidance. Wait, what new team? You know, these guys:
Tumblr media
So yeah, they will be the new Paladins. But what will happen to our other Paladins? Well, Allura will take her place as rightful Queen of the Alteans with Romelle acting as her royal advisor, as Coran will be off with Shiro piloting the ATLAS and training the new paladins. Pidge will probably end up staying with her family on Earth, the Holts finally getting their peaceful happy ending, all of them together again. Hunk will end up with Shay living either on the Balmera or on Earth, which are right next to each other now so it doesn’t matter much. Krolia and Kolivan will continue to reestablish the Blade. And then, finally, there are Keith and Lance. I know, this is what everyone has been waiting for.
Tumblr media
So I’m just going to straight up say that Keith becomes the next emperor of the Galra Empire. I don’t really have much for evidence for this besides the fact that Zarkon was the ex-emperor and that Keith has several parallels to him throughout the series and that him turning full Galra and his emotional growth throughout the series has made him into a great leader. Keith at the end of the series, doesn’t really have anywhere to go, because his mom is with the blades and he doesn’t really have any other family to go back to. If you think about it, it just kind of feels right, because Acxa already has a lot of respect for Keith and it would be pretty easy to persuade Zethrid and Ezor to respect him after everything that all of the half bloods have been through, Keith included. And so those three will act as his general as he brings order to the Galra empire.
Tumblr media
What about Lance? Where is Klance? I am happy to say that I think that Lance will end up with Keith in the end and rule the Galra empire by Keith's side. Lance will be what reminds Keith of his humanity and keeps him balanced throughout his reign. He will provide Keith with the proper support that he has always needed, not to mention a whole new family to be a part of. And of course Cosmo would be the royal dog and blah blah blah. And yeah, just happy endings.
Hope you enjoyed, and feel free tell me what you think about all of this! Thanks for sticking with me!

Thoughts on “All or Nothing”
First of all, this is not a Doom and Gloom post. I’m not one of those that supports the idea that ANet went and George RR Martin’d us. Or that they’re gonna shutter the game and reboot it a la  Final Fantasy Online. But this will have spoilers so I’m totally tagging it that way AND putting crap below the fold.
To start, I thought this was a brilliant, and yes, shocking way to end a chapter...but by the GODS or whatever you believe in, is it a FANTASTIC WAY to lead in to either a new arc, or a new expansion. We kick the crap out of Kralkatorrik, using EVERY weapon at our disposal including a whole ton of brand new ones, as well as the landscape itself to make him easier to beat... and the plan goes to hell in a handbasket in one moment. But here’s a few notes. 1: Kralk left. He could have easily turned around and Branded everything in reach of him, turning all that power we as players unleashed on him, as well as our allies, into his minions and his powersource. But he didn’t. He ran away. He’s badly wounded, he just lost an eye, and he now knows that we can turn him into a shish-kabob easily now. 2: Aurene. If you really think the story is done with her, that she’s dead and gone.... I think you’re being silly. Take a look at the LW episode’s pieces, as well as the hints dropped within them. “Ascension.” “There’s things about Ascension that can only be told Dragon to Dragon”. “The Crystal Blooms”. Glint’s ‘memories’ if you can call them that, were to give Aurene knowledge about power and the Mists, and prophecy. For the last few episodes, we’ve almost had to treat Glint’s ‘memories’ or whatever qualifies her Mist existence as a STILL ACTIVE CHARACTER. So if Aurene has ‘died’, and gone to the Mists... isn’t she going to be just the same as that? If anything, Glint got more powerful in the Mists. 3: Aurene’s vision. It was a fatal vision. No matter how many times she cut it, no matter how many allies she brought to the fight, or where the battlefield was itself, Aurene always saw she would lose that fight. Presumably lose her life. She did the Doctor Strange thing, and scanned hundreds, if not thousands of alternate futures looking for the one that she survived in. Players assumed she found one eventually. I don’t. I think she came to terms with the fact she probably wouldn’t survive...but instead looked past that loss, to see how to ACTUALLY win. And she has sent the players down THAT path now. Whether or not she still has a part in it might not matter any more, but a better, clearer path will present itself. 4: Caithe’s blooms. CRYSTAL blooms. Yes, the effect wore off at the end of the episode...but there was a very specific bloom Caithe had in her hand, that was on her scarf after the communion. That one didn’t shatter. Didn’t fade away. Caithe did take it off her outfit...but it’s not gone. Aurene is part Crystal dragon, part Mordy dragon. We don’t see much of the Mordy in her... but it shows a bit. Some of her facial features. And the prevalence of blooms in design of Glint’s trial location for her, the title of that chapter, as well as the crystal blooms she grants Caithe. So she has control over a hybrid form of plant/mineral growth, among other things. Perhaps, given time, she can do what Mordy might have done if we hadn’t killed Trahearne? Except instead of erasing and replacing a character’s mind with her own, Aurene placed part of herself into the BLOOM. Given some time, she might come back as a new kind of Dragon, now steeped in the Ascension power from the Mists. A Dragon who can truly stand against Kralk. For now, the Bloom merely exists, but I suspect it will GROW. The other possibility is that the communion that she granted Caithe might expand to others. Obviously the Commander, since we’ve been gaining power through Aurene for the last several episodes. We’re just a tad short of becoming an outright Super Saiyan, but not by a hell of a lot. But if it expands to the rest of her allies, granting them an allied version of Kralkatorrik’s gestalt power-base, with the weakness of that mitigated by the power she got from Mordy and how he had independent minions that were still united under him? Instead of a single dragon trying to fight along side so many mortals, it would be an ARMY of dragon-power-infused allies, each one’s power magnified by their link to each other and to the whole, turning them into something far more powerful than the army that just beat the tar outta Kralk in a cave. 5: There’s also the unspoken thing. Taimi mentions it a few times while we fight Kralk near the end. “A spike in Zhaitan power.” Kralk wasn’t raising minions at that moment... he was trying to rig it so he would survive as the undead version of himself, if we’d killed him. Perhaps we even succeeded. We MIGHT have actually killed him, and then he Risen-d himself....but what’s the cost of being Risen? Did Kralk end up losing complete mental control after he turned? Is he now only a simple-minded undead beast? Is that why he wandered away after the fight, instead of taking revenge? There’s also the fact that you have to assume that when Zhaitan died, some of his power did go to Aurene. Maybe not much...but a bit. What would that do for her? Would she be able to use it to bypass the incoming Death she saw for herself in her visions? She also ate a Lich and his magic, which was apparently far different from Risen magic... so the chance of her losing her mind when ‘Risen’ reduces to her ‘Awakening’ instead. Could she cobble together an unholy hybrid of Crystal, Plant, Risen and Awakened magics that would un-Brand her AND leave her whole, and with her own mind and soul? Joko kept coming back, so long as his body was left intact. Aurene’s is intact too...just Crystalled. Can she (or by proxy, the players) undo that? She might come back even more powerful. Just some thoughts. I know a lot of this is supposition and theory. Some of them contradict each other, or just don’t play nice, but all are viable. But I definitely don’t believe this is the end of the story at all. It’s not a bad end either. It’s a SAD end... but one that may lead to a multitude of greater things in the end. If Aurene pulled a Gandalf the Great --> Gandalf the White, but you knew way ahead of time that that was the plan, would you feel anything for her sacrifice? No. But if it came out of nowhere, and while we as players grieved for our failure and loss, only for her to come back in one form or another, or for her departure to open the door for something even better to come through... I think that’s a good thing. I’m not saying goodbye to Aurene. I’m saying “See you in a few episodes.” We fought Kralkatorrik face to face. We survived not one, but TWO full-on, directed BRANDINGS, without being Branded. Canach must be making an absolute mint off our survival. We still have a Crystal Dragon to kill. I want his head for the prow of my warship.
