Just rewatched the DND episode and WHY did we call Clone Shiro Kuron? Shiro’s Identical Twin Brother Chiro was the obvious choice.
#throwback to summer 2020 when I was watching seasons 5-6 for the first time and I legitimately did call him Chiro#anyway Chiro and Lance deserved so much better and thus episode proves this#all Lance wants is to have fun with his friends… all Chiro wants is to be a paladin…#monsters and mana#Kuron#Lance#Voltron

Man I’m not even. This isn’t even me being angry. I’m too tired and there are too many other things to be angry about to waste it on fucking Voltron. I was never even particularly a shiro stan!!!! I just saw art of Kuron and was violently reminded of the fact that entire—I don’t even want to use the word “plot”. That is frankly giving it too much credit. The entire clone THING was so staggeringly badly written that I genuinely and truly don’t understand how it is POSSIBLE to fuck up your writing that badly.
Fantasy is so much more my personal creative grab bag than sci fi but if I ever do write an original sci fi series I am going to include a clone plot and when asked what my inspiration was I am going to say “spite” and when my hypothetical interviewer says “spite about what?” I am going to say “I wish to fight Lauren Montgomery to the death in a Denny’s parking lot”

So... “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is a bop, right?
It’s firmly supplanted “Let It Go” as Disney’s latest ear-worm until the next one comes along but it’s more than just a catchy ballard. It spells out how the Family Madrigal view him as a blight on their family name, especially when they’ve been a pillar of their community.
It also describes how rather than dealing with his problem and maybe helping him through it, they opted to just let him retreat into his room never to be seen again. Better to sweep it under the rug. However, this also proves to be a root in while the house is coming undone.
The message is clear: a family can’t stay as one so long as they can’t talk about their problems with each other. It’s why Mirabel doesn’t get a gift so she can be the outsider looking in.
Where is this going? Well... somebody just finished Voltron: Legendary Defender... and enjoyed it.
Here me out before you scroll away.
I had finished up to Season 7 along with Teen Titans three days before Season 8 dropped. I knew that fandom discourse would be a bear and opted to let the season simmer before I viewed it for myself a few Watch Lists down the road.
What I couldn’t have known was this overwhelming hate for Season 8. I was on Twitter where handles were being altered to include #FuckVoltron and the like. I glimpsed spoilers of what happened in the finale without getting into the dirty details.
Thus I decided to put it off until the heat died down. A whole half decade at that. With Fandom Drama down to near non-existent, I decided to return and engage with Voltron on its own terms from the start. No shipping drama, no expectations for how it should go, no accusations of problematic behavior and no Purple Lion conspiracies.
And... I liked it. I highly encourage those scared off by the drama or felt Season 8 did it dirty to give it a(nother) shot. It deserves a full on renaissance the way Twilight got.
Why? (spoilers ahead).
I was sold on Allura and Lance’s relationship. I loved how he went from being a flirt to genuinely admiring Allura as a leader and Paladin, encouraging her in the season 4 finale without trying to get anything out of it.
I liked the tonal shift around Season 7 where the ultimate Golion homage is made with the Space Explorers coming home to a war ravaged Earth.
I liked how human Lotor and Honerva were as villains coming after Zarkon. I can see why there’s a whole ass conspiracy framed around him actually being in Season 8. Also them taking that “Your mother was an Altean bitch” like and running with it for Hagger was brilliant.
Keith becoming the Black Paladin after Kuron’s reveal was well done and felt weirdly natural in retrospect. He feels like he can’t measure up to Shiro and learns more discipline from
Allura sacrificing herself to restore all realities felt a lot better with the knowledge of spoilers. It helps that the ending went with a more noble feel than angsty, showing how the Paladins strove make sure that her actions set an example for years to come.
I love that they got creative with the multiple alien species and kept the Alteans from being just humans in space like in the original. It really took inspiration from Vehicle Voltron with more aliens in the mix.
Shiro the Hero, as Crazy Coran put it. What can I say except that he’s the kind of character you call a Mary Sue if he wasn’t a guy. Always calm, always perservering, putting the mission first and being a pillar the team can lean on. He even creates his own Voltron out of the Atlas
Honestly, the whole Adam thing isn’t something I fully blame the writers given the producers pushing back. Mind you, I feel like Keith would’ve made a good endgame pairing with him if they had even out their ages when they first meet, both as teenage proteges.
Studio Mir was amazing, especially with the space battles. Honestly, if Robotech managed to make a comeback, I could totally see them being tapped to match the classic Anime style.
So... yeah. Voltron good actually.

why do tdp and voltron always somehow connect in my brain
TW: abandonment, mentions of suicide
I've been thinking about rayla's speech in "the great bookery" to Amaya about how she left Callum to protect him and help him but Amaya rejects this with "you abandoned him. you broke his heart."
like DAMMIT THIS COULDVE BEEN KLANCE-
as we all know Keith has a fun habit of distancing himself from people he loves "I push them away before... they reject me." (him leaving team voltron, emotionally locking himself away, leaving the garrison with no protest, almost committing suicide at the battle of naxzela, etc.) and I think if dreamworks wasn't full of bullshit then that could have tied into him leaving to "protect" lance.
and when Keith did leave the team, it did hurt everyone else. it broke their hearts. it was detrimental to the team, especially considering that it was kuron, not the real shiro who took over in his absence. if him and lance were given the emotional and relational development they deserved, this may have played out similarly to how rayllum is going.
I love rayllum but our boys deserved better.
at least in the epilogue they could've done better. at least given lance a good ending like he deserves. (LANCE MCCLAIN IS NOT A FARMER, FIGHT ME. IF LANCE IS A FARMER SHIRO IS STRAIGHT.)

^^^ this is exactly why i dont actually consider lance and hunk to be best friends.
they were teammates at the garrison and possibly roommates, that is ALL.
just because he was closer to hunk in the first few episodes doesnt mean theyre actually friends, esp with how hunk treats him. by se 2 hunk is already brushing lance off completely to hang out with pidge all the time. by se 8 theyre basically not even acquaintances from how distant they are.
Seriously. I feel so bad for Lance
We must acknowledge that the season was actually good at the story and the excitement. It was not bad but .. there is something that still upset me .. and it doesn’t even have anything to do with ships. It’s about Lance.
We all know how many self-doubt Lance had at the beginning of the series and they got even worse. He’s afraid to be replaced or forgotten, but that’s just what happened. Lance was portrayed in the Game Show episode as the stupidest person in the universe, and the worst is still, he plays this shit. He pretended that it was funny and there was nothing in it but we know Lance better than anyone on the show. Lance must have felt so bad. And worst of all is that the whole team was there and supported this statement! They gave Lance disappointed looks and stupid comments that really didn’t have to be. All together! Allura, Hunk, Pidge, and Keith were so mean to him. Lance loves his team, he loves his friends and he would do anything for them, but when did they really do something for him in this relationship ?!
I’m not saying that they never did anything for him, but that was really shit. I couldn’t even enjoy this episode because it upset me as much as Lance was treated. He may not be the smartest on the team, but he’s not stupid! He has a big heart and is always there for others even if they leave him alone. Do you know? If I were Lance, I would have gone to any shit if they treated me that way. I would really have stood up and shown the team that they treat one of the most important people as dirt.They just forget how great Lance really is. They’re used to Lance being stupid and I’ve never been so angry in my life, like, why? Why does one of the best characters have to be treated that way?
And the worst is still, he doesn’t even show how much it hits him. He only shows it to the viewer and not his own team. I would be devastated if my best friends didn’t even notice when I feel bad. Hunk is Lance’s “best friend” and he should be one of the first to notice it ?! Shiro has confirmed Kuron’s memories, why doesn’t he talk to Lance and apologize for Kuron or tell him that he is good. Why does Pidge have to exaggerate? When she went to the Garisson, the kids also joked about her, why is she doing this with Lance? Why does Allura break his heart, show him the cold shoulder and use him now ?! Lance KNOW that Allura was in love with Lotor, why should not he feel like a second choice? Why was Keith been so rude since he was back, though he can open up to Lance, he CAN show Lance how important he is! He didn’t do enough. Why does Bob put him like a fool ?! Lance doesn’t earn anything from all this!
They didn’t even notice how Lance changed, how he retired, or how he became much more serious. I hope, no, I pray that in Season 8, everything will be fine for him and the others will finally see how important he is. He deserves the love of his friends and I was so glad when he was finally reunited with his family, almost cried because at least his family cares about him. But Votlron is also a family, all, they are a team and a family, and Lance needs support from both his blood family and Voltron! Both sides are so important to him. And i hope he get what he deserves! I love Lance, and i don’t want him to be Hurt again..
#GiveLanceTheLoveHeDeserves
He will get love! I am sure! Just wait! ~ Jenni❤
#and then combined with the actual toxicity he recieved from kuron?#lance is a VICTIM#he deserved better.#pretty boy lance#and also fuck the writing team!!

High and Low: At World’s End - Chapter 11
Location: Australian Land Characters: Tetora & Hinata
Season: Autumn Writer: Akira
Tetora: Oh, I was wondering about the car too, so I asked Kurone…-san about it.
But it looks like ES has been trying to establish a thing where they palm a lot of stuff off to “ES II”.
The same goes for this studio bus as it seems it’s something Japan palmed off to Australia. Looks like the vehicle got passed around and around until it ended up being sold to the rental car shop.
Apparently, Kurone-san asked for the best vehicle the shop had, so when they brought it out, they were really shocked to see it, seeing as it’s a vehicle we’ve seen before.
Hinata: I see… ES and “ES II” – I mean, Japan and Australia must’ve established some sort of economy together.
Stuff like that doesn’t concern us kids, but there’s nothing mysterious about there being an ES vehicle overseas… right?
Tetora: I guess so… If we are being pranked in the first place, isn’t it a bad move to have left the logo on the bus in plain sight like that?
Hinata: I know, right~? It’s practically announcing to the world that it’s a suspicious object. It’s such a mediocre prank.
Tetora: Hm~ But, just in case, I don’t think it would hurt to be a bit wary of Anzu no Anego and the others.
Once the agency’s part of it or if it’s for ‘certain reasons’, then it doesn't matter what the person who’s been ordered to do it thinks.
It’s not always guaranteed that the “producer” will definitely be on our side, after all.
Hinata: That’s pretty dark, hearing it from “RYUUSEITAI” who look like they’ve been pushed around over and over by those ‘certain reasons’.
Tetora: Well, I have a feeling Anzu no Anego will be on our side no matter what, though.
Hinata: She can’t really take a hint, can she? If only she could get along better in the world~
Tetora: That’s true. Being street smart isn’t always the “correct way” or so I think.
I don’t really know how to explain it, but it feels like you’ll lose out on something important.
Hinata: Well, putting Anzu-san aside, we don’t know much about that Kurone person, so let’s be a bit cautious of them.
Tetora: Hmm~ It looks like Tomoya-kun and the others trust Kurone-san, and since they trust them, I think Kurone-san deserves to be trusted too.
Hinata: You’ve got it the wrong way round: It’s because those guys trust that person, we need to be the ones to be wary of them.
The worst-case scenario will be when everyone falls into the trap.
But if one person was wary and ended up safe, then they can pull everyone up to the surface.
Tetora: …You've actually thought things out, huh, Hinata-kun.
Hinata: Oh~? Whaddya mean? Did you think I was a dum-dum with no brain?
Tetora: No. You are the leader of “2wink”, after all.
A leader has to think about a lot of things so it must be tough.
Hinata: Don’t say stuff like that. You’re the one who made the old leader of “RYUUSEITAI” give up his position so what am I supposed to say to that?
Should I be comforting you? Laughing at you? Deny what you said? Agree with what you said?
Tetora: No, I didn’t do something like make him give up his position. Everyone in “RYUUSEITAI”, including me, agreed to it, accepted the agency’s intentions and restored the “unit” to it’s old form!
We just went back to the old “RYUUSEITAI” where Morisawa-senpai was the leader. Everything would go smoothly if we did that.
Hinata: So, is everything going smoothly then?
Tetora: …T-Things are pretty awkward at the moment.
I was arguing a lot with Midori-kun about it before the school trip.
It’s a weird situation. We should have already accepted how things currently are.
But we’re just not on the same page… In order to make things exciting in the new “RYUUSEITAI”, I’ve been actively taking a lot of jobs under the unit's name.
But, it seems Midori-kun is just not motivated in that aspect.
He’s just been accepting nothing but individual work offers and this time, he even prioritised school events that have supposedly nothing to do with our idol activities.
I’m just so stressed. He was the one that was so eager to agree to the agency’s directions in restoring “RYUUSEITAI” to its old form.
I know we can’t make it so that decision never happened. And I know I’ve gotta acknowledge– I mean, steel myself and move forward.
All I can do is work as hard as I can in order to be closer to a better future. But it looks like Midori-kun doesn’t have any intention of contributing to “RYUUSEITAI” at all.
All he does is complain and sigh all the time. Looking at him just irritates me.
If he doesn’t like our current situation,
Then he should’ve said something in the first place.
Who cares what the agency wants? He should’ve just said that he prefers the way “RYUUSEITAI” is right now.
He should’ve just said he liked the old “RYUUSEITAI” instead of the “RYUUSEITAI N” that we’ve created with the three of us…
Midori-kun was the one who expressed through his attitude and words that he preferred Morisawa-senpai over me.
Things turned out the way he wanted so why doesn’t he look happy? He’s always so cowardly and grumbling all the time…

『For a special day like today. The most important rose in my life is you and you alone.
And for you, I'd go out of my way to show the world that you are perfect just the way you are. Because you deserve all the love that you are shown...』

#TheIdolsStory
⇒コウ 🅟.օ.ѵ.┊͙✧˖*°࿐
*✧・゚: *✧・゚:*✧・゚: *✧・゚: *✧・゚*✧・゚
——A whole mass of people were running, their steps and movements carried them from one end of the stage to the end as people rushed to pull the final touches of the concert together in the brief amount of time left.
“Hey where are the lights–?!”
“Does anyone have feedback, check?”
Calls were being made, orders and requests shouted from across the open air atrium as things were finally being prepared—No, it was already done by now. I could see it all coming together—— The stage, the venue, the decor, lights, camera, backup dancers, singers, and everything in between were working in the background unseen from the fore——And of course, me~
I was all dressed and long prepped for what's coming. And there was one thing that came to my mind to describe the current situation— ‘beautiful’. Just like that of tonight, all for this specially organised event that I had planned for the meagre few weeks since I improvised it.
But tonight…I was not the main feature of the event. I wasn't the star of the show, not this time, at least~
“Everyone we're up in an hour, let's get this moving!” The coordinating manager said on the main PA system so that everyone, inside and out could hear.
If there was one thing about Kuron that I could help with, it was his constant need to do something to make others feel good, the need to redeem himself for all his misdeeds.
All the time I see him doing so much for others while rarely do these 'others' treat him the same way or at all.
And in turn I see him behaving the same, insecure, unappreciative of himself.
How could someone like him be so readily selfless of himself and choose to help others and be so ridiculously kind to other people but themselves, I wouldn't even get it.
For someone like me, who would possibly be more amazing than myself, after all, I'm me. Who wouldn't love me. I'm already confident in myself after all. Everything I do is already so close to perfection~
But I guess, to give Kuron a little boost of courage, there is something that I could do, something I do best at——showering him with love and affection, and by that for this time, with a song~
And I know just the one to go for——An older foreign song that I stumbled on by accident while scrolling some days back then.
A song about rose, or at least a person like a rose. So perfect, beautiful, and adored Just like Kuron. Though the song itself was a little bit, squeezing on the heart to listen to, with such cheezy lyrics, it's a wonder how people make songs like those back in the day. Though I could do something about that, a little polish ... .which can make the song better and turn less cringe with a little tweak of lyrics.
And that's where it all started. I took the inspiration of the song and started to rewrite the lyrics from scratch…even if not completely since there was an essence I wanted to preserve from it. I wanted to make it so that Kuron would be able to listen to it and just pick himself up, more importantly, so that he could finally be rid of that pessimistic view of himself all the time and finally appreciate himself more, just like the way that I already do. After all, he was perfect, just the way that I always see him. Every part of him was precious. And that was going to be how I was rewriting the song. A little more…focused so that I could target him and his heart~
If this song doesn't help boost his confidence a bit, and make him see his worth, well I'm not sure what else will~
The song had one special message I wanted to give to him——and that is to remind him that he is precious and perfect and everything that he thought he wasn't—— or at least, what he didn't see in himself.
It talks about how he is so special that his qualities just made me fall in love with him. How he is beautiful and was perfect just the way he is, and how just the sight of him would be enough to make me fall for him again and again endlessly.
The song was…quite the simple one if I was honest, but that's the beauty of it. It was simple yet it was sweet and gave such a sense of romance and suave. Just like the way that he makes me feel, and everyone else as well.
Beforehand, I had thought about composing and developing the whole song in secret, by that I mean just for Kuron to listen.
Especially after seeing how the lyrics and feel of the song was so…personal, seemingly like a confession one to one.
This felt like a song that should be presented to him, and him alone. A secret song that is ours, that no one else in the whole world would ever know. And that would be what made it so special.
And so, that was how it was. After the finalized version of the song was complete, I never made it public. It was only present in two places in the entire world——the company laptop, and a single copy of it on a bootable drive.
The thought at the time of letting Kuron hear it made my heart flutter, but I already knew just the kind of face he would make from hearing this particular song, especially when he would listen to the lyrics~
Just a few weeks before the plan to make the concert came to mind, I finally gave him a listen to the song for the first time. And it more spectacular and adorable than I could've imagined~
It was so amusing, the bright tint of flushed red on his cheeks. He was mocking the song so much, pointing out how it was cringy and the lyrics being so shameless. He was trying to comment so much that he barely even camouflaged that growing embarrassment that was growing from his exasperative motions.
I still remember, he got so shy in the end about the fact that the song was sung directly to him, he got more silent the longer that he listened to it.
Needless to say, I had the time of my life, teasing him and poking fun at him, grinning at that cute and adorable face he makes when he gets all red and embarrassed as he listens to the song.
He was so vulnerable at the end, all curled up into a ball, trying to hide himself as he pushed me away. It was far beyond being simply cute that I just couldn't help but pounce on him. It was more attacking him…in the broader sense– So easy these past few weeks. Admittedly, it was both thrilling and freaking amazing, especially since he would become equally flushed the more I mentioned it to him~
I was planning on keeping it that way. Our own song, unpublished and unannounced so that we could indulge in it, like a private island, a space and world of our own. And yet, as time went by and the more I listened and saw his reactions when he listened to the song on his own, I came to realize that this song could be meant for so much more. And that the whole world should hear this too. There was a benefit to this��
…Plus seeing as I had a little push from my management…and even Kuron that this song would be nice to spread to the public. What did they say…'create an awareness' or so they mentioned.
And that's when I started to plan it all out. I picked venues, I picked personnel and a perfect date. That was all the simple aspects. The harder one was the singer. I had thought about being the one to sing it on stage, a special concert held just for Kuron~
But I had a better idea. What if I could somehow make him sing instead, and in fact, make it a surprise for everyone while I was at it. It would be perfect~
And the one thing I needed to do…is to bring Kuron to the concert and sing without him knowing.
It took me some time. A few days, but the whole time I was spending each and every moment I could thinking of it, planning from top to bottom. It's been awhile since I personally planned and organised something that was so seemingly large scale, I almost forgot how much work it would be to pull all of it together.
Luckily I had just the connections. And eventually when things seemed to finally come together into a network of properly organised event in my head, I knew that I was on the right track.
And I was about to give Kuron an event he wouldn't forget.
I already knew instinctively, I wanted the concert to happen today, so called a day some genius invented called the Rose Valentine's Day. A perfect day of symbolism just for someone like him. The perfect rose, the star of this romantic day.
Especially since he would definitely value this kind of celebration. He was one to take after and note all these seemingly random yet, somewhat sentimental events. More than I ever would if i was being honest. But I suppose that was one of his charms.
But to get Kuron to come out on a whim without question. There were only a few people that could help me to manage to drag him out, by force if I had to. For example, those two brothers of his.
So with the whole plan thoroughly thought out and every little detail predetermined and prepared ahead of time everything started and was set off like clockwork the moment Kuron left for work. Kuron had a fixed method of movement and he was disciplined, so I had them kidnap him ahead of time at a specified clock. Right on the dot as he was at the office.
I wonder if that was too much. I'm not sure what they did or how they pulled this off. Maybe they have proceeded to knock him out or drugged him even——
I just told them to bring him into a van as he was taking his lunch and drive him around for an hour or two. All while we were here. Preparing the concert venue.
And of course, I explicitly had them playing that song on the van speaker. Just as a little hint to what was coming~ Though that might give him too much clue on what was going to happen, but this would be worth it.
Back at the venue, I called over on the phone, to make sure that they were all set and that we were ready to take them in at the location.
It wasn't long after that that the private van which was carrying Kuron around town finally arrived and Kuron stepped out of the vehicle, his head coming out of the mask covering his eyes and his hair dishevelled as he looked at me with mega disbelief in his eyes.
“...What the HELL is going on?——What are you doing? Why did you bring me here——And where the heck am I??”
Kuron had a face flustered all over, and it was so funny seeing him so panic and confused. But we didn't have time for that now. Things were running on a schedule after all~
“I think you already know what's going on. We’re having a concert.”
“...A what now?——”
“A concert, silly! Just for you this time~”
“......”
Looking dumbfounded, he then turned his head and looked up at the building stood before us. It wasn't the kind that is too grand. Further It was actually a place that both him and I have both performed in for multiple different events. so it wasn't unusual but as though my words finally got to him, his features contorted in bewilderment before they turned flustered then bashful as he glared at me with a barely composed
flushed face then looked away from me in a huff.
“...Why you——Didn’t have to kidnap me like that just for this…what kind of insane, psycho scheme of a surprise this is…”
I heard him muttered under his breath, those bright emerald casted down as his lips were pursed to a small pout, looking so helplessly embarrassed thereby as he was visibly struggling to keep his arms rested composed at his sides, hands brought up subconsciously fidgeting with the end of one of the ribbons of the hair ornament attached to his hair.
“... Now? But…I'm not even ready for this…! You can't just expect me to perform at the last minute without having a single clue of what I'm supposed to perform…! You're bloody ridiculous, geez…”
“Oh come on~ This'll be fun! After All, today is a special day isn't it? Don't you remember? Rose day? Furthermore you've been listening to this song more times than you can count, so I'm sure you're long used to the easy lyrics at this point that you can even spell it out to it, hmm?~”
“Now, come on! Let's get you ready already in the trailer. Everything is ready—— except for you~”
I pointed behind me, walking aside as I showed the personal trailer that was parked at the curb right here at the back entrance of the venue.
Kuron stared at me sceptically before his gaze averted as his features bore a little hint of unsure as he pursed his lips, falling in brief silence.
“...You sure…I really have to do this?”
“One hundred percent! Come on you have to do it, at least——for me, pretty please?~”
I beamed at him the softest gaze I could muster, leaning my face up close with the widest eyes, softened in a loving gaze with a smile that melts him every time, letting out a soft mutter and noise to seal the deal while pressing on his chest. And finally, with a heave of a deep sigh, Kuron finally surrendered.
His eyes closed and head drooped for a moment as he lifted up his hand to gently massage the space between his brows and temples.
“...Fine. I'll do it.”
“Yay! Then, go go——let’s go get you all dolled up already——”
“Wait, wait——what was I performing again?? ——Seriously, that song?!”
“Mhm ♪”
Kuron let out a loud groan as he facepalmed upon my insistence to this plan, straightening up later, he darted me a dull look that shows he's completely surrendered to my quest.
“...You…are a fucking weirdo. Fine——fine, just for this once I shall entertain you——to the damn fullest in exchange for my embarrassment, you're very welcome, bastard.”
“...Right then, I'll go on ahead for this makeup session, see you later…I guess.”
Kuron grumbled, as he turned and headed towards the trailer then stepped into it and disappeared behind the slid close door.
Kuron was going to be in for a big surprise, especially when we sent him off to the actual venue. He was just like everything I hoped he would be. taken aback and so shy and resisting. But luckily he finally gave in. I was half worried that he would outright refuse me and just leave before I could convince him. But now that he was in the trailer, everything was about to go smoothly. The hardest part was behind us now. All that was left was the main event. Now begins the fun part~
Now then…for the final preps, and my turn to get dressed and it's going to be perfect~
I turned around, looking at the two people that had made all this possible, without which none of this could go as smoothly.
“Thanks you two~ You brought him here just in time. I really appreciate all the help.”
“Anything for our lil bro Kuron. I'm sure he'll be very…‘delighted’ with what you prepared, hehe~”
“Anytime–”
“Okay, well you two, stick around if you want…or not~ Things are going to get more 'fun' at this point onward. Hahahaa~”
“Fun you say…Anything about you is ‘fun’ as long as it involves Kuron. Stop flashing your relationship to our faces, geez…”
“Aww, don't be jealous Kazehi-kun~ If you ever need to, I can always help organize you a romantic surprise for you and your dear Subaru-kun~”
“...Cringe, no thanks. I can do it by myself just fine. Furthermore I'm sure I can plan a better surprise for my wife than you can anytime, humph humph.”
“Well, I doubt it. The only one that can plan the best surprises is literally Kuron himself. He always pulled them off so successfully and managed to get me taken aback all the time, heheh, that sweet romantic man.”
“Cringe.”
“Right, right, off you two go now! As Kuron’s loyal big brothers, you should be there to help him get perfectly ready too. Off you go now~”
I laughed softly, nudging those two towards the trailer after sliding open the door then pushed them inside of it.
“Yeah, yeah, you're right...”
“Well then, see you later?~”
With that they disappeared inside. Their private van sat there on the lot for awhile before it finally started to move when the pickup in charge of driving Kuron's away arrived and drove him off as well. Now it was just me, standing there alone.
I gotta admit, I didn't think that I would actually make it this far or manage to plan something this huge, not that I couldn't, this was child's play. But it has been a while and it's quite fun to go to the extreme sometimes, especially if it was all for Kuron.
It took some time during the car ride and I had ample time to think about things on the way there. I made sure that there was a copy of the song lyrics on the dresser table that he would sit in, specifically with just the small little edits I made on it, but the message was still the same.
Perfect for my perfect rose~
Within 10 minutes, we arrived at the venue. A large arena that was only reserved for our tours.
Damn, this was going to be fun. And I'm sure that it was going to run smoothly since I took the time to personally plan things out with the best team I handpicked. And I wasn't even biased this time~
Soon I was on my way to the dresser and stylist, completely all done with the external works as I made my way to the side entrance that Kuron would be using to arrive any minute….NOW.
Right on cue, Kuron trailer pulled up, right at the spot I had designated as I stood there, waiting for him as a few seconds passed by before he finally exited the vehicle, all dressed in his off-sleeved robe of bright maroon with rose patterned hems and green arm sleeves.
As he stepped out, his eyes scanned the surroundings, looking around as if trying to take in the sight of the previous location that he had just re-arrived at with a wide gaze of astonishment before those emerald shimmering eyes finally fell upon me, who was right below, welcoming him with a wide smile, dressed in my own version of the same fashion.
The traditional white eastern style clothes with open chest design in red seams and buttons, matched with circular framed glasses.
Just the exact getup that I remember Kuron had come to admire and loved to see me in so much, from the last time he saw me put this on~
And just as I expect, as I caught his cheeks flushed immediately upon setting sight on me, then avert as a look of complete bashfulness take over his features,
“...Ah you're…you're wearing that——”
“Well, do you like it? ♪ ”
“...Yes.”
He fell in silence, eyes narrowed as if he's holding back to say something, or rather, admit to anything,
“...You know I find you attractive in this getup—— That this is the outfit that…I particularly…like seeing you in…”
Well, ain't that a perfectly satisfying answer to my effort and choice of deciding to put this on for this very special event today~
“Well, I'm just glad to hear that ♪”
“Now let's go, we can't wait the audience waiting for long. Let's get you all ready and set for the performance hmm?~”
“I…I guess. But——”
“...Why did you plan to do this? And for me…to sing this song instead…rather than yourself…so weird…geez…”
“Wellllll you see– I wanted people to hear the song too, it might work as a confidence booster for you, I figured. So what better way to use this song, than to spread it to the whole world to listen to, and to deliver the message, that my cute pretty little rose is worthy to be loved and appreciated by many, not only myself~”
“...Kou…”
Kuron called out to my name softly as his eyes casted down with a sense of melancholy within them, and a hint of…touched sentimentality in his quivered eyes before he lifted up his head then nodded softly towards me, lips tugging a faint but gentle smile,
“...Okay~”
I didn't say anything. I just let out a bright smile as I reached to take his hand in mine, the countdown of the concert pending as I softly brushed on the knuckles of his finger, bringing him towards the interior as we made our way to the stage.
The stage was fully prepared for us as I came in with Kuron, the crowd chanting our names, the seats filled the arena as far as eyes could see.
Not bad for something so short notice~
“Hey everyone!~”
“We have a special song for you today!”
I announced as I climbed on the stage, with Kuron by my side, hand in hand as I can feel him fidgeting slightly in my hold even more so from the stares of the many audiences, how cute~
“At first, it was a song that I had written just for Kuron. A song to remind him that he was perfect. He was special, and that he was deserving of loving himself. In the way that he rarely sees himself, in the way that we all see him.”
“But tonight, he's going to sing it on behalf of me for all of you!~ With the lyrics that's re-written by yours truly on deck, but the song presented __ by our second most known idol who's known to have the voice belonging to a male angel.”
“So now, let's give him some applause, to encourage him to give us the greatest show of all this afternoon.”
“And to have him dance with me in this acapella music, that I have specially arranged for this particular concert show.”
Turning my head to look at him, right on cue as his eyes had lifted to meet with my gaze all at the same time,
I saw as his lips tugged a rather sheepish smile, then his eyes curved to soft crescents as if bestowing me the approval to have me proceed on with this grandiose masterpiece of a plan.
“...Well then, are we ready to start off this dance?~”
“...I am ready, if you are——”
“Let's do it, my master~”
▶ 【The Performance】
——Watching back the music video that was recorded on my phone, I had replayed the song that Kuron sang on stage for me on repeat so many times. I could still see the loving glint in his eyes even through the screen, taking in the wanderlust of his voice that I enjoyed as he sang, capturing every moment that his face made during the performance.
I should thank the photographer for taking so many great shots and moments for us during the event, really managed to capture the best of both of us~
Removing the earphones, I took in a deep breath and heaved a sigh as I leaned back against the chair after a deep stretch of my arms, feeling thoroughly satisfied with a job well done, making a surprise concert just for Kuron—A second large surprise I've held for him.
In fact, this one was the first successful surprise I managed to pull off that worked out perfectly.
I was quite satisfied, in fact, even happy, that everything worked out the way it did in the end result. And most of all, happy that I got such a grand message to myself from him, and that he seemed to gradually njoy the singing too, even if he was a little embarrassed at first, hehe.
With my eyes closed, I took a light rest, the minutes passed by before I opened them again and looked to the side, on the floor where a large sized present was placed upright. I couldn't help but smile at it.
My very last present for Kuron, a last gesture for this—a very special Rose Day.
I've known his love for roses, for almost as long as we've met, and to give him this many in one go, I'm a hundred percent certain that I'm in for a golden grade reaction of him being vulnerable and shy…not to mention I would definitely get to have my way with him at that point—
Trying but failing to hold back a grin, I turned to glance at the back, where the bathroom door was closed to me, the shower running as Kuron was inside taking a bath.
I looked out the window, the night was in full session, and the air was a chill even with the windows closed. The special day of roses was about to slowly come to an end, and it would finally be over and complete after this last surprise.
And I really really can't wait to present this beautiful bouquet of roses. Especially made just for Kuron, my precious neko.
My gorgeous, perfect and amazing in every imaginable way, beautiful and cute rose.

An important thing to note about my post s8 au is that Shiro may had been Lance's hero but Kuron is Lance's Little Guy™
#I cope by making my favourite characters each other's biggest defender#Kuron has complicated feelings about Lance in this au but he is 10000% more willing to talk to him#over being even in the same space with Shiro or Keith or Allura#Lance meanwhile sees him as Silly Little Dude who deserved better.

Old wip I’m not sure how to finish so I’ll just post because I love pain I guess. Based on this post of mine.
Clone Shiro needs a hug but he’s too proud to ask for one, so he takes a slight detour in the space mall

Rift Soul Ryou - AU Proposal
Here’s an idea that I’ve been playing with for the last few weeks. And thanks @bbtree for being a kind ear and listening to my whacky idea that I’m trying (and failing) to turn into a fanfiction one-shot or cross-reality story.
We all know the absolute dumpster fire that was the Operation Kuron storyline. However, I would like to put a few preconditions onto this AU before we delve too deeply in.
Full disclosure: I have not watched season 8 but I am aware of its general plot beats. Also this is a mix of AU lore and drabble.
Condition #1 - the reason for the formation of the Galra empire 10 000 years ago was Zarkon’s response to a massive invasion from the inter-reality rift creatures that existed in the Quintessence field. The same creatures Honerva/Haggar was studying. It functionally serves as a dark shadow to the current era’s Voltron Coallition, had the Black Paladin’s virtues descended into vices.
Condition #2 - Haggar’s experiments on the gladiators, and Shiro in particular, over the eons was an attempt to find Quintessence resistant individuals to combat the impending Trans-Reality invasion of the Quintessence creatures. Shiro himself showing particular resistance to it - insert something about the same genetic strand that caused his disease also grants heightened resistance here.
Condition #3 - Both driven mad by exposure to that radiation, Zarkon signed off on the research and was attempting to create was effectively a massive meat-shield army to stall the Quintessence beasts until they could permanently scourge Quintessence from the galaxy. His end game goal of that project was to have Haggar create suitable, unfailingly loyal cloned pilots for the Voltron Lions, and using Voltron itself as the key to destroy the source of all Quintessence, effectively erasing the galaxy as well. Zarkon’s plan basically boiling down to a mutual annihilation.
Bare in mind - these people are mad, hence the doom’s day plans. Okay, backstory out of the way.
Where does Kuron come into this?
Well, Haggar tried and failed to clone Shiro multiple hundreds of time, trying to keep that genetic abnormality while eliminating the nasty ‘terminal illness’ side effect. But even when she succeeded, she had little more than blank living dolls.
No will, no drive, no spark of life to propel them forward.
And of course not. The soul that is Takashi Shirogane is safely nestled inside the consciousness of the Black Lion, and Blackie ain’t releasing her grip any time soon. So, however does Haggar solve this problem? Why - but the cruel irony of capturing an enemy and making it fight for the Galra empire.
She captured a rift creature, tortured it into insanity, implanted it inside a fully programmed Shiro clone body - et Viola. We have our first sentient clone in poor Kuron. And the first thing he does, believing he is Shiro, is YEET THE HELL outta dodge before Haggar and her druids can capitalize on this success or replicate it. This also goes to show part of the reason why Black refused to let Kuron pilot her until literal hell was at their door, because she could sense what Kuron’s soul really was and Black (Voltron in general) was specifically made to fight Quintessence beasts.
The seasons proceed much as they did before, but the hat trick is Season 6′s finale when Shiro’s consciousness is revived in Kuron’s body.
In this AU, I shall now call Rift Soul Ryou, Kuron’s body isn’t rejecting Shiro’s consciousness. In fact, Kuron - once again aware of his true nature - talks to Shiro and surrenders the body freely by way of apology and atonement before leaving.
As Shiro’s compassion boarders on the messianic, Shiro tries to convince Kuron to stay and help, understanding that he truly loved the family he found with the Paladins. They recognize and sympathize with each other as fellow victims of Haggar’s brutal manipulations and come to an understanding based on that commonality. And, shock horror, Shiro defends the clone whenever the other Paladins get too antsy at Kuron.
Touched, but undeterred, Kuron still opts to leave and allow Shiro to reunite with his friends and family.
Tears are shed, hugs and bear hugs are dolled out like candy and The Paladins are headed home. Meanwhile, in the depths of one of Haggar’s cloning facilities - a seemingly failed clone jerks to live, promptly wrecks the facility and escapes into the great beyond.
Sometime down the line, back on Earth and the steady rebuilding effort, Shiro is observing some work while the Paladins are recuperating with their families... and then a prosthetic hand claps on his metal shoulder.
“You know, I don’t mind the floaty arm - I just don’t understand the floaty arm. Digging the white hair though. Makes it easier to tell the difference between the two of us, I’d say.”
Shiro spun, only to be confronted identical face staring back at him with a crooked smirk. The same scar across the bridge of his nose, the same greyed eyes, but the hair dyed back to its natural black. “I don’t think we ever actually introduced ourselves properly.”
“I don’t think so, no.” Shiro laughed, unable to do much else. “I suppose I should ask your name. Something other than ‘Kuron’ I hope.”
The clone shrugs, “I’ve been going by Ryou. Thanks.”
“Ryou, it is then,” Shiro nods with approval and offers his hand out, “I suppose you and me have a lot to talk about.”
Ryou shakes it with a smile of his own ,“That we do.”
TL; DR - Haggar couldn’t replicate Shiro’s soul, so she kidnapped a Quintessence entity, brainwashed it into serving as a replacement soul. Kuron doesn’t die, because as an energy being, he can literally possess another empty shell and continue living his own life.
