voltron as textposts etc. 20

[klanced]

people always ask me 'katie why did you only watch half of voltron??' and i'm just like guys i thought we all agreed that voltron was not a very good show 💀

Brain: alright awesome, how about Lotor

Me: who?

Do y’all ever see a male character you love and relate to and just go:

[oliveden]

he avoids walking around in his human form too much. here, in deep space, it stands out far more than his galra form ever will, even on conquered planets.

it takes him a long time before he's fully comfortable to shift freely around the generals, and even then, he only does so in the complete privacy of their ship.

the first time was definitely the best.

he'd informed lotor and acxa of his decision to let zethrid and ezor know, and the next time he found himself in the lounge, during one of their rare respites, had decided to take the opportunity to shift back to human.

it actually was quite a while before anyone entered, to the point in which he'd forgotten that he'd shifted at all. he was only reminded when ezor walked in, took one look at him, and shrieked.

to be fair, seeing a foreign alien dressed in your fellow general's armor and absentmindedly scrolling on a datapad must have come as quite a shock.

he'd confirmed the rumors of his status as a shifter later, but in the moment, it was one of the funniest things he'd ever done.

I'm not the only one who sees the similarities right??

Like, as characters they are all very different but like

enemies to lovers, opposite sides of war, boy is a prince and has a evil abusive father and absent mother, girl is one of the last of her kind (Katara is last SWT waterbender and Allura is one of the last Alteans). And their marriage would be important for peace.

[scattered-winter]

good fucking god we really could have had it all huh

[klanced]

honestly a part of me envies that you never watched past season 4 because you never had to witness the downfall and instead got to hear stuff out of context which sounds 10x funnier

it was very fun watching from the outside as people desperately searched for klance content because it was just like ummmm. erm.

[lilflowerpot]

Hey there Flower! I hope all is well with you and that you’re having a wonderful day💜 I wanted to send in an ask because I recently had this realization and did some research and found out that the act of crying is a “uniquely human trait”. This got me thinking if the galra cry too? Let me explain a bit, so as far as I know other animals are capable of shedding tears but it’s not an emotional response so much as there might be something wrong/in their eyes.

We’ve seen that alteans can cry! But I wonder about the galra because I don’t believe we’ve seen any of them cry (not even Krolia).

I wasn’t sure if you’ve been asked this before or not and I tried my best looking to see if you have but the only post I saw relating was about the differences in galra/human anatomy and it did mention their eyes!

So with this information…can galra cry as an emotional response? If they can’t, what’s their reaction to humans doing it?

(Also please correct me if I’m wrong for any of the statements I made! I’m also aware that you’ve mentioned before that we will be seeing “Lotor tears” in the future of LB but we could say that he’s able to cry because of his altean half?)

Okay so first of all I love you for diligently scouring my blog to see if I'd already answered this question (I have not) your consideration is greatly appreciated ♡

Secondly, while I was aware than humans are the only known organism that cry from emotion, and we do indeed know that Alteans can cry as proven by s1ep09, I hadn't really considered whether or not the galra are a species were in the same boat,,, only that Lotor himself has to be because not only did I have him become teary-eyed in the most recent chapter—

“Is that enough?” the question scrapes ragged and ruinous against the silence that surrounds them. “Truthfully,” the prince admits, “I do not know.” and, with a start, Keith realises that summer-sky eyes are near as glassy as his own, “Though, if anything is to be your downfall, would you not rather it be love?” - Little Blade, chapter 24

—but I have Plans™ for his future that demand it.

That being said, when I think about it, it really doesn't make an awful lot of sense for the galra to cry from emotion due to Daibazaal having been such an arid planet that any unnecessary loss of fluid would have been a distinct evolutionary weakness for them, and so would likely have been evolved out (if ever it was something they were capable of in the first place). This, of course, begs the question: what displays of sorrow/emotional distress do the galra have?

As a direct result of this ask, I've once again expanded upon my galra body language post, adding to the "bad noises" bullet point:

Though they cannot cry tears as humans do, the galra expression of grief is—according to those who've heard it—one of the most harrowing sounds in the known universe; the drehvi is a distinctly mournful vocalisation unique to the galra people, taking the form of a raw, guttural, bellowing wail that stems from deep within the chest cavity and can be heard from up to half a league away.

If you can imagine the noise a bear might make upon suffering a sudden but mortal wound, and that sound echoing across an otherwise silent valley devoid of all life,,, that would be the drehvi.

So........... on that not-at-all-heartbreaking note, you also asked for the galra reaction to humans crying, which I am going to keep much lighter (because I am internally weeping now goddammit) so I'd have to say it's likely a mixture of confused and alarmed, because the human is,,, leaking?? Are humans supposed to do that?? Their breathing has also become remarkably erratic and hiccupy which is almost certainly Not Good if they do not regulate their oxygen intake they will DIE because humans are SMALL and FRAGILE, but they are also not currently in a state to explain themselves nor how to help??

Luigi Mario from Super Mario is a Common Raccoon! (Procyon lotor)

Requested by anonymous !

Raccoons have the most sensitive sense of touch in the entire animal kingdom, with more than ten times the number of touch receptors in their hands as humans! This sense of touch is further heightened when the hands are wet, causing the behavior that makes them appear to "wash" their food.
