Day 6: Galra Allura
Tags: @loturaweek2024 Species swap, alien culture, Galran Empire, helping someone you dislike and hating it the whole time, deep seated propaganda/brainwashing, touch starvation
Read on AO3
Prince Lotor was an embarrassment to the Galra name and species. Everyone knew that. To even touch him was to risk being polluted by the filth that tainted his bloodline and made him soft, pathetic, vulnerable. To associate with him? Was to practically volunteer to join him at the bottom of the pecking order. He was alive only because he had half-inherited his father’s martial prowess (and how powerful was the mighty Emperor Zarkon, that even half his strength should best any Galra that challenged Lotor!) and because Galran custom forbade even Zarkon from ridding the universe of his own child.
Allura knew that.
Allura was a good, dutiful, honorable, hardworking Galra. She was proud, as all Galra were proud, she was fearsome, as all Galra were fearsome. She was cutthroat and coldhearted—and maybe that was a lie.
The smell of blood was not foreign to her. She’d spilled plenty of it, herself. His shouldn’t move her. It was good, she justified to herself, that she concerned herself with the wounds and wellbeings of other Galra, for Galra were all as one, united under their glorious emperor, and to uphold and uplift the Galra around her was to uphold the empire as a whole, she self-rationalized. But Lotor was only half Galra, his blood tainted with Altean genetics, she shouldn’t care if he bled, if he ached, if he hurt, if he gasped as he rolled himself onto his knees and hand, the other wrist too damaged to put his weight on.
Really, she would be doing him a favor just for walking by. If she just strode past him and the unconscious bodies strewn around him, hell, she should be concerned about them, not the one left standing (or, well, kneeling. Getting there).
…Maybe, since he was half Galra, it would be alright if she half-cared?
She didn’t ask or offer, simply walked up to him, got his good arm slung over her shoulders, and lifted. He growled at her, and she growled back, not exactly happy about this either (damn her soft heart! A Galra should be better!), but his anger settled into confusion when she merely pulled him to his feet.
“...To what do I owe the honor?”
“Can it,” she snarled. “Let’s just get you out of here before any of these fools wake up and try for a round two.”
Because yes, that was it, they were the fools. Everyone knew Prince Lotor inherited half the emperor’s strength, it was their fault for thinking that they could best even that.
As a group.
Against one man.
She grit her fangs. Life wasn’t fair. Of course Galra didn’t play fair. It wasn’t honorable, exactly, but she doubted this was an official challenge for anything. And how did a prince get picked on this much anyway!? It was embarrassing for him.
“I rather must admit, I had thought when you approached me you intended to finish what they’d started.”
“If you keep chatting so much, I just might,” she snapped, with less heat than she’d intended. The line of his arm across her armor was distracting (it was always distracting) (she had yet to shake off the childish need to be touched outside of battle. Shameful). It was distracting her. This was a distracting situation.
“...Thank you.”
“Please,” she muttered quietly, “don’t ever mention it.”
And, see, again, Allura was distracted, it was a distracting situation, she wasn’t thinking about where she was going, because she’d just finished her shift and had been heading back to her apartment, and in lieu of actually taking Lotor somewhere her body just. Finished the trek home.
She stopped in front of the door to her room, very clearly in one of the residential halls, very clearly embarrassed with herself, even with her downturned ears hidden by her helmet and her blush underneath her fur.
He laughed, damn him, a soft, breathy, barely-there sound. “And where, precisely, has my valiant savior taken me?” Lotor asked, teasing and very knowing and sounding quite amused, the bastard. She shoved him off of her into the wall.
“You know I’ve had about enough of your sass!” she snarled, fangs bared, and he laughed again, louder, though his eyes were sharp on her, treating her like a threat. Good. She was one.
“Forgive me,” Lotor said, still sounding amused, if cautious, “I’m afraid my mouth has played the culprit in many of my altercations. I just can’t seem to control it.”
“Perhaps you should learn.”
“Perhaps.”
She crossed her arms and huffed, then. Well. Conceded in looking away first. It bristled, to be the one to look away from Lotor, embarrassment of the Empire, but she could admit she was being just slightly ridiculous (she’d been the one to bring him here, after all), and even if he did take advantage of the deliberate show of weakness, she doubted he could do much against her, down a wrist and limping like that.
“Your breath seems caught enough,” she muttered, still turned away. “You can make your own way from here. I’m going to rest.”
She slammed her hand down on the ID pad and her door slid open for her, allowing her to storm in.
“Wait!” Lotor called, soft but urgent, and she stilled in the doorway, cocking her head to look at him and her lip lifted just enough to snarl with one fang.
“Please, at least tell me your name.”
“...Allura. Now go away.”
The door didn’t slam behind her, just neatly closed like it always did, and she found herself resenting the emotionless metal for its lack of force. Good riddance. She was supposed to be enjoying a varga or two of personal time before she slept and went back to work the next day. Not dealing with stupid princes and their stupid faces and their stupid injuries and their stupid, breathy, lilting laughs that sounded so soft and inviting and their stupid smug faces and stupid, stupid, stupid!!!
Her face burned as she stripped off her armor, flinging it roughly at the armor stand. Whatever! She hoped she never saw him again!!!
(Except she did, she did, she wanted to see him. Stupid. Pathetic. Weak Allura).

Pidge is the first to find out.
Of course she is- she's the one who summoned him. She didn't expect it to work, but now they're both bound by the rules of summoning to forge a contract with one another. Keith knows better than to ask for her soul, so he asks for her hair instead. She has a lot of it, and it she can grow it back if she wants to. It's an infinite resource.
(Colleen just thinks he's a friend of her daughter's. They do not dispute this. She does do a double take when she goes to check on her daughter and finds that she just abruptly cut off a huge chunk of her hair, though.)
Allura is the next one to find out. They kind of have no choice but to tell her, given Keith's disappearing act. It's not as bad as having to tell one of the paladins, though. She has no preconceived notion as to what a 'demon' is. To her, he is simply another kind of Earthling.
(She agrees to keep it a secret, though she's clearly not happy about it. She doesn't understand it would effect the paladin bond more if they knew.)
Shiro is the third to find out, but Keith doesn't learn this until much later. He's there when he faces the Trials of Marmora. Keith never realized just how much he saw there. How when he passed out on the ground, beset by illusions, Shiro saw him as he truly was. Shiro never says anything.
(Shiro understands why Keith never told him. When he smiles and tells him that it doesn't matter what he is, that it's enough for him to just be Keith, he's not only talking about his Galra heritage. If Keith is a demon, then he's been a demon the entire time Shiro has known him.)
Kolivan and the Blade of Marmora all find out at the same time. That he does know. They have questions for him, although Keith is hesitant to answer them in a way he wasn't with Allura. These people are the other half of his heritage. It's a weird feeling. Guess it explains his purple skin and yellow eyes, which he clearly didn't get from his dad.
(For all his apprehension, to them he is no different from any other half-Galra. It is a surprisingly comforting feeling.)
Lance, Hunk, and Coran all find out together.
The mission was a bust. The ship was a decoy, rigged to explode. Regris is on the verge of death, and needs a healing pod fast or he won't make it. So Keith makes a gamble and reaches out to Pidge. Can you summon him back to the Castle right now? She's confused at the urgency but complies. Keith's gamble pays off- he's holding Regris at the time, and he gets dragged along with him. It doesn't matter that he's just appeared right in front of everyone in his true form.
Allura snaps into action and helps him quickly get Regris to a healing pod. He's put right next to Shiro's, where he's been in stasis ever since their battle with Zarkon. It's only then that he has to confront his choice, turning back to face Lance and Hunk. There's no way he can just write this all off as due to him being part Galra. He has to tell the truth.
(When Shiro emerges from the healing pod, Keith has already left for the Blade.)
#demon in space au#the black lion still chooses Keith as Shiro's temporary replacement which Keith thinks is absurd#hello? you're asking a *demon* to lead a bunch of humans? (and one (1) altean)#that sounds like a bad idea to him. there's no way he's going to be any good at this#but the lions are the lions and to them keith is no different from any other creature they've had pilot them#pidge's (highly improvised) guide to demons

whoever thought the ‘what if the species that was genocided were actually the bad guys in an alternate reality and committed lobotomies on entire species’ episode was a good idea needs to be handled. i know they were in the writers’ room rubbing their hands together gleefully like they thought they cooked something Profound…💀 any ‘what if the oppressed were the oppressor’ storyline is absolute dogshit and i really wish ppl would stop using it

Lotor and Keith: The Duo We Deserved
Disclaimer: it's been around 8 months since I've last watched voltron. details may be inaccurate
Sometimes I think we were robbed of what could've been an amazing friendship.
Keith's discovery of his Galran lineage and Lotor's of his Altean heritage, and their indirect parallel of upbringing, I hoped these two would form an amazing bond as they're the only people that could relate to each other in terms of ostracization due to their race. But that hope eventually dwindled down when I realized that the showrunners were definitely not planning that, and in fact, even makes Lotor a bad guy again.
At the very least, I had hoped for a heart-to-heart conversation about them being mixed race and flesh out that aspect of them more. Yet again, I was let down.
During Keith's entire life, he has been ostracized by his peers and constantly bullied for being different. It has been the fundamental characteristic of him— his preordained Galran traits— embedded into every crevice of his disposition and being unable to do anything about it. When he finds out about his Galran heritage, we finally conclude the reason, in profound realization, why he's never fit in much back in Earth. Ultimately, this would give clarity and closure to Keith about why he's the way he is, but what the showrunners overlooked is the inevitable, imminent consequence of an identity crisis.
He's too galra to be human (antisocial, rebellious, fierce and stubborn), but too human to be galra. (compassionate, warm, weaker and smaller in stature, humanly physical features)
This is his reality everyday.
I distinctly remember Sendak belittling Krolia because of her half-breed son, Keith. It went something along the lines of: "Is the Blade of Marmora so low on soldiers that they recruit a half-breed and his mommy in?" Which, most likely, amplified his identity crisis. Poor guy.
I feel as though the same case could be applied to Lotor.
Raised by only Galrans and raised to be one, his father, Zarkon, would also say that something was quite fundamentally different about him. Compared to a stereotypical, standard Galra, he seemed to be quite more compassionate and carefree as a child, showing great intellect and promise in other aspects yet lacking in the personality traits as a Galra and embracing more of his Altean characteristics.
Growing up, Lotor always believed in goodwill, altruism, and attempted to prove to Zarkon that he could successfully subjugate planets by sheer goodwill without repercussions. However, his father's constant abuse for millennia, and cruelly destroying said planet, would of course, send him to spirals and awaken his long repressed Galran characteristics: Tyrannous, vindictive, cruel and spiteful.
Both Keith and Lotor had been abandoned by their biological parents, one in a literal way, and the other, emotionally. Both of them had something just fundamentally, unutterably different about them that they couldn't quite explain, thus thwarting the standards of "what they should be".
If Keith and Lotor had formed a genuine, wholesome familial friendship to replace their absent/abusive parents, they could've established an actual safe space where they felt belonged and heard. The rest of the team may also provide an emotional connection towards them, however, nobody knows their pain more than each other. After all, they both went through similar experiences. Mixed race solidarity!
Also. I think it could've been a great way to represent mixed race people (I'm sorry. Is that how you call them? Is this offensive?). I'm not one myself, so I'm not sure, but this would've been so great to promote inclusivity and accurately represent their struggles in the actual world. This also could've been an amazing plot point for Lotor's character development and fleshing out his character more onto a much more profound and raw level. Instead, they threw it all down the drain by betraying VOLTRON then dying. Disappointed.
Also, I'll be diving deeper into Keith's identity crisis more in one of my next posts, and Lotor's tragic fate.
Get me out of this VOLTRON hellhole. The hyperfixation is too much.

Due to my inability to post a comic page today, I have some more fleshing out of the Avicorians… and a Lance AU.
Due to the unique materials that many Avicorian’s body parts are made of, this race has been poached to extinction. The feathers, bones, teeth, claws, and eyes of an avicorian are held in high regard on the black market. Although they are universally known as extinct, there was a rather large group of Avicorians that escaped the mass poaching epidemic by fleeing to a small outer-rim planet known as Earth, and hiding there.
As generations came and went, the degree of chameleonisation rose, making it impossible to tell an Avicorian from a human, 2,000 years after the genocide. The only indicator that a person could be Avicorian or of that descent is heterochromia, yet even that genetic factor happens in regular humans, so there is no sure way to identify them.
Like Alteans, Avicorians have a unique connection to quintessence. The light markings on their wings indicate a person’s connection, or “power”, to the quintessence they feel strongest. for Avicorians, the composition of quintessence differs based on the colour: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Violet, and White. Coincidentally, this colour action works similarly to Earthling’s “Auras” in that personalities can be identified by the quintessence colour. Unlike Alteans, Avicorians cannot “wield” quintessence or manipulate it in the way alchemists can. They can react to and with it, like recharging a Balmera, but cannot utilise it, like Oriande shows. Avicorians require quintessence usage to shape-shift (to morph, not sustain), while Alteans do not.
Quintessence and meaning
Red: Passion, agression, impulsion, heart
Orange: Energetic, creative, impatient, skittish
Yellow: Stubborn, support, compassion, caution
Green: Inquisitive, petty, productive, amicable
Blue: Fluid, thoughtful, trust, fawning
Violet: Decisive, level-head, weary, calm
White: “Purity” White quintessence does not normally appear naturally as it is a refined version. There are no traits, as there are none with a connection to white.
Teal: “Raw Quintessence” Balmeran crystals are the easiest example of quintessence in a raw form. Curiosity, kindness, flexibility, empathy
And now the Lance AU:
Unknown to Lance McClain, he is half Avicorian. His parents, who were actually a full-blood Avicorian and his “aunt” Rosa, were killed in a car accident when he was only 2, and so he was taken in by his aunt Sophia, who he knows as his mom. He was never told of his true parentage, as no one felt it was important for him to know. He was a McClain anyways.
Lance always had heterochromatic eyes, brown on bottom, blue on top, but preferred to wear coloured contacts to hide the unusual colouration, especially after a bad spout of bullying when he first moved to America.
Years later, when Voltron went to aid an Empire outpost with broken shields, Lance sacrificed himself to save Allura from a beam of electricity and was revived by her newfound knowledge of Altean alchemy. Upon revival, he began to have strange pains in his back and nails, yet continuously brushed them off as battle scars or “the whole dying thing”. Months later, when they fight Lotor in the quintessence field, Lance passes out after their victory and wakes up in Red, his armor broken on the ground in front of him and eyes burning. He doesn’t actually take note of the changes until Red is packed with his things and the castle is gone. No one ran into him during the packing trips, but now that things have settled, Pidge is the first to point out Lance’s silence. It is then that Lance freaks out about the wings, blue sclera, and claws.

I've always wished that voltron would've explored the idea of different species of Galra/Alteans. like, humans are really rare in the fact that we only have one species in the Homo genus and I think it'd be cool if allura or Coran heard that and just *shocked Pikachu*. on one side, the idea of humans having something rare, bcuz we view aliens as different but nvr consider what weirdness humans have, is the BEST thing ever and it would've been so cool to see more of the og vld team looked at as insane instead of the aliens. but on the other side of the coin, we should've got different "species"(quotes cuz I'm mainly saying that their culture would be so different that their societies can barely be compared) of galra/evrything. planets with super "evolved" galrans bcuz instead of joining the war, small factions fucked off to a far away galaxy, settled down for 10,000 yrs, and mixed with wtv intelligent life forms there were.
the alteans should've showed speciation too bcuz of Lotors colony being kept away for however long. they should've also been wayyyyyy different than allura & Coran. and yea, they sorta showed the difference thru romelle "not saying quiznak right"(I put it into quotes bcuz they had their own developed slang & language which shouldn't be considered as right or wrong) but they could've shown "speciation" in a more intriguing way. or, and ik this is a kids show, the inbreeding of the altean colony cuz.....there HAD to be that with such a small amount surviving, right????
also, the portrayal of galrans being bad could've been told thru the discrimination between the "war galrans" and the "settled down galrans". kinda like those spanish hierarchies they had in Latin America when the Spaniards colonized. like, just imagine voltron arriving on one of those planets and having to see the galrans either hate & segregate their own or contradict the whole "evry galran bad" bcuz they also get treated shitty and get systemically oppressed.
omg someone make a fic with these concepts PLSSSSS

Character of the day:
ROMELLE!!!!!
Some information about her:
One of the few remaining Altean survivors.
Her people were saved from Lotor after the destruction of Altea, but were sent to live on a colony. In it, Lotor harvested certain Alteans for their Quintessence.
Keith and Krolia both saved her when they discovered her whereabouts.
Her younger brother, named Bandor, was selected by Lotor to be harvested. He managed to slightly escape and came back to Romelle in an escape pod. With his last breath he told Romelle the truth about the colony and Lotors intentions.
Romelle told the truth about Lotor to the rest of the paladins, causing his plans to be revealed to them, and why he suddenly wanted Allura to develop her powers further.
At the end of the series she is seen joining Hunks “culinary empire”.
She has a bubbly personality and fits very well with the Paladins. She and Hunk share a good friendship dynamic.
She is seen helping and attending conferences on the Atlas and in the garrison.
She was able to knock out a galran pirate showing her possession of Altean strength.
In the original 80s series, she is polluxian and is the cousin of Allura. She was married to the 80s version of Shiro. She had 2 brothers, one being Avok and the other is Bandor.
She has a son with Sven.
She also gets captured by Lotor and is used as bait for the paladins.
Headcanons
She watches the live action barbie movie at least every end of the week.
She would love Claire’s. (It’s a cute jewellery shop iykyk)
She is probably bad at spelling idk she would probably not know the difference between their and there.
Her and Hunk play Roblox horror games together and fail to complete them, ‘cause they chicken out.
Y’know that one trend where a friend pretends to be a guy and takes a pic to make their friends ex jealous, that’s exactly what Romelle and Allura do or would have done in another life if Lotor was still alive.

Hello again, I hope you are doing well and I have a oldie request since it's apart of your list. May I humbly request for Yandere Prince Lotor with engineer human reader hc ( Like hypothetically that Lotor harvesting quintense from alteans never happened and he is working along side earth and the princess as Emperor and that is how he met reader ) apologies for being so hyperspecific the later seasons made me salty
Me too mate, me too😤
Thanks for the Request!
Yandere! Lotor x Engineer! Human! Reader
Genre: Headcanons
Reader: female
Warnings: yandere behaviors, slight stalking tendencies, isolation, overprotection, slight manipulation, Unhealty mindset, overbearing behavior, shady things in general.
• Lotor always had a complicated relationship with love (unintentional pun), having Zarkon of all beings for a father and a mother presumably dead his entire life, he never really had the opportunity to witness a truly functional relationship.
• Obviously as he grew and matured he realized certain things about couples, including how his father referred to his late mother. The relationships were complex, some were for benefit, others simply for desire, and others... simply for affection.
• And they were the ones that confused Lotor the most, even his own father seemed to have fallen for this feeling, describing his relationship with Honerva as his only weakness.
• Having grown up where he grew up, Lotor was not going to allow “weaknesses”, not after all the bad things that happened to him every time he allowed himself to be vulnerable, every time he allowed himself to be weak, this was the best, for everyone.
• However, things change. Especially when Voltron appeared on the map.
• Overall, this caused Lotor to have to rethink many of his values and morals, he believed that he had improved and become a better person.
• With the help of Princess Allura, Lotor was able to create a better system for the Galra, even generating diplomatic ties with other civilizations. Among them, the earth.
• That's where everything went down. It was there where he met her.
• reader was a somewhat veteran engineer from Harrison, she had studied in the same year as Shiro and Adam. While they were more focused on being pilots, Reader had her heart set on the mechanics and engineering behind the ships.
• Thanks to this, Reader had quickly become a technological prodigy and a highly sought-after student in the barracks, whether to make improvements to the ships, fix problems with the consoles, or even make personalized gadgets at an acceptable price.
• And now, as an adult, she was the head of Harrison's engineering department, trying to help cultivate bright young minds.
• Lotor (and Allura) ended up turning to her precisely because they were researching Honerva's notes, so knowing that the reader was good at that type of science, they thought she could be of help.
• To be honest, if they told the reader in advance she probably forgot and was working on something when they arrived, with their first impression of her being that of a reader with a greased face and probably something exploding.
• Yeah, at first Lotor wasn't so sure about her help until Allura convinced him with a lot of effort. And yet at first the interactions were awkward as Lotor did not believe that this disorganized and forgetful person could be one of the smartest people around.
• However, the surprising thing was that the reader remained her normal cheerful self, seemed not to be affected in the least by the sarcastic remarks or harsh criticism, she simply improved for the next time and came, in fact, much better than before and with more strength.
• Thanks to this, Lotor began to view her with a little more respect, being more willing to listen to her and generally being more open.
• The more involved they were in researching the notes, the more the reader's intellect shone, whether doing the calculations, diagrams and values of the readings that the research showed, which caused the feeling of respect to increase.
• It is very likely that both reader and Lotor have Made a All-nighter and have not gone to sleep until Allura forced them to go to bed (with red eyes and messy hair).
• Eventually, when they began to assemble prototypes for the ship that would take Lotor and Allura to the Quintescence field, the conversations stopped being so professional and took a more personal turn.
• The reader probably does not fully know the context in which Lotor lived, perhaps it was mentioned a couple of times while they were working about having a bad childhood, but nothing more.
• However, reader shows sympathy and tries to liven up the situation, (especially if she has a good relationship with her family), after all, family is what makes you happy, not who raised you! you can always be better!
• It is probably in those moments, in a moment of pure innocence, that Lotor realizes that something is starting to go… wrong.
• Lotor knew that he not only appreciated the reader, he admired her, he loved her, but it was not the type of love that others considered normative, or healthy in general.
• Indeed, reader felt like a kind of pleasant weakness, a safe place, but at the same time something delicate and fragile.
• It didn't help the girl's human nature, or that she had a job as dangerous as fixing the ships even though she knew the risks, even with all the warnings he gave her to be more careful, she got hurt often. She was so stubborn...
• There was also her overly trusting attitude towards others, he had seen it (even if the reader didn't realize it), how she was too friendly for his liking with other people, especially the former black paladin, the level of closeness they had made Lotor want to tear off his skin...
• Obviously Lotor kept this as secret as possible from the reader, he knew that these feelings could be seen as out of place and he didn't want to scare her, however, he had to make sure he kept her close without exposing himself.
• This is how a new phase in their relationship began.
• Lotor is someone who is charismatic and, above all, someone who is tactical and intelligent, so it is easy for him to find some questionable aspect of the people close to the reader so that she stops trusting them.
• In this way, Lotor isolated Reader little by little without her realizing it, before knowing it, the only people Reader interacted with were Pidge, Hunk and Allura.
• At the same time, Lotor would begin to be more affective, more attentive in other ways (whether to satisfy his own addiction to the company of the reader or so that she would not realize how alone she was), at first glance it was something overwhelming, but now that I really didn't have much else to do, reader was starting to fall for it...
• It would be very difficult for anyone to realize what is wrong with these two's relationship, whether because Lotor makes the reader cut ties with those who question him or simply because they are under the same web of lies as the reader. They just don't see anything strange with the relationship because it is purely inner manipulation.
• The only ones who seem to see things more or less clearly are Shiro and Allura. But they can't do much either, Allura is convinced that Lotor changed for the better and she doesn't want to ruin it. While Shiro can't even talk to the reader alone.
• I think that even without the Yandere, it is very likely that the reader will fall in love with Lotor in this phase. If she confesses it to him he would be over the moon! And probably already making plans for the reader to go live in the Galra colony.
• Whether the reader does it out of love or manipulation, it is inevitable.
• I would say that Lotor's Yandere side shines brighter when he and the reader are already married. Jealousy and possessiveness are triggered by A THOUSEND TIMES and now Lotor has a VERY “valid” reason for wanting to isolate the reader even more (the racism of the Garla towards other species) with the context that it is for her “safety.”
• If the reader realizes that she made a mistake it would have been too late, she is already very far from the earth, they do not give her access to the ships and even if she had access, she does not even know where to go.
• Aside from that, Lotor may or may not mention that staying with him is both in the best interest of the reader and her family. He won't say direct threats, but you can see that he is talking about something bad.
• So either the reader puts up with everything or faces the consequences with her family and friends :)
• Honestly, it's very likely that the reader will develop Stockholm syndrome, if she didn't already have it from all the time Lotor was messing with her head, so it's best not to resist.
• In a voluntary route, Lotor can tone down his tendencies a bit, even being a very good husband, trying to ensure that the reader continues to have his projects to distract her, letting her be friends with his generals, etc.
• Of course, it would never be completely safe for those around you, if someone gets too affectionate for your liking, hands off.
• But at least he has the decency to not do that kind of thing in front of the reader.
• If you are a genuine volunteer, Lotor may even let you have video calls with your family! It's not much, but it's the most a reader can have with such an overprotective Yandere.
• In general, Lotor does not understand relationships, which leads him to have an unhealthy relationship, have an unhealthy mindset, and while he treats his partner like a deity, he also isolates them and drags them into the same decadent pit as him. .
• I guess the good thing is that she loves him. Or she loved him. Either one is enough for him.
