a piece i didn’t have the heart to finish. i’d started this when i found out vld was being taken off of netflix and admittedly got too sad about it to complete it in a way it’d do justice to my feelings.
this next bit might be a little long and unnecessary so im gonna put it under the cut
[TLDR- thank you voltron for being by my side for the last 8 years, i’ll miss you]
i know it’s a little late to make a post like this since it’s been gone for a while now but i wanna so im gonna. this show is so incredibly important to me and i feel like any “farewell” art i make won’t match the way i feel about it being gone after 8 whole years. i’ve been here for 8 years. i was only 12 or 13 when i first watched it and somehow im nearly 20 now which is genuinely so crazy.
it’s a love that’s lasted continuously since the first watch and no media has impacted me the way this silly space cat show has. it’s been in my brain every day since 2016-17 and i haven’t felt my fixation to it waver even a bit. my art accounts and even style to an extent has been built off of vld. it existed no matter what in some way nor the other in my life. always with me even if i never properly rewatched it. i’ve made friendships and discovered some of my favorite creators through it. they just don’t make fandom like vld anymore man, genuinely one of the experiences ever.
i have so much more to say but i will conclude my rambling here since it’s pretty out of character of me to go off on a sappy rant like this and am therefore not used to it but basically what im trying to say is Thank you Voltron. thank you to the creators thank you to the fandom and thank you to the characters. i wouldn’t be who i am without it. by no means am i gonna stop posting about and making art for the show but it feels like the end of an era with it being gone (ik ik pirated copies etc etc but ykwim)
#didn’t mean to get sappy on yall#i may or may not ever finish this piece but for now#it’s a wip#till we meet again#in another reality maybe#artists on tumblr#digital art#fanart#digital illustration#voltron#voltron legendary defender#vld fanart#vld lance#vld keith#lance mcclain#vld pidge#vld shiro#hunk vld#vld coran#vld allura#keith kogane#wip#work in progress#kay talks ★

@maya-matlin, I know your message was a single character's name, but I'll go ahead and respond for the show, instead, if that's all right.
❤ Favorite character: Takashi Shirogane, my beloved.
👿Least favorite character: Sendak. As awful as Zarkon is, Sendak inspires a visceral hatred in me that only Haggar comes close to. Maybe it's his smug sense of superiority, or the fact that he's Shiro's personal tormentor who not only gets off on torturing Shiro,
but is implied to have sexually violated him, as well.
Regardless, I derive immense satisfaction from the- tragically brief- moment of Shiro getting to overpower Sendak and using the ugly hulking bastard's momentum against him to piledrive him into the ground.
It's not nearly enough, but it's something.
Though, I still think Shiro should have got to kill him. As a treat.
💐Comfort character: Shiro.
And, Hunk.
The sweetest boys. ❤
😍Character you have the biggest crush on: I don't know if I would call it a "crush", but...
I most certainly appreciate Shiro aesthetically.
🤝 Character you relate to the most: Shiro, for his experiences as a trauma survivor grappling with symptoms of self-loathing and PTSD, his fear of being a "broken" "monster", and drive to prove that he's so much more than what he was forced to be, and Hunk, for his anxiety, love of cute things, and desire to bring happiness and comfort to others.
🔥Character you think is overrated:
🧨Character you love to hate: I don't enjoy hating anyone, but I would bring a bag of popcorn to watch Sendak and Haggar duke it out in a fight to the death.
🙈 Character you always forget exists: Any character exclusive to seasons three through six, which I still haven't been able to convince myself to watch because of the clone. I'm sorry, but I cannot take that haircut seriously.
The fact that "Kuron" is so blatantly not Shiro, and gets several seasons of both bonding with Shiro's found family, and driving wedges between them, while the real Shiro, whom I spent two seasons getting to know and love deeply, is dead and languishing on the Astral Plane sits so wrongly with me.
These two men are not the same person. I could go on and on about the differences in confidence levels, how the clone comes across as younger and having a harsher edge, while Shiro seems older, worn, and is much, much softer and gentler. How the clone seems to be wearing eyeliner while Shiro simply has long eyelashes. That Shiro's essence being transferred into the clone's body caused the clone's fringe to magically change shape and grow out, which is unintentionally hilarious--
-- and proves that Shiro would never wear his hair that way...
I beg you, fandom, please stop referring to the clone as Shiro. He's an entirely separate person with a different temperament and his own unique personal struggles; not Actual Shiro with a different (terrible) haircut.
(It's also aggravating that "Kuron" got to reunite with Matt, who Shiro saved, while Post-Resurrection Shiro and Matt have no interaction onscreen. And, if the image I've seen floating around of "Kuron" in a group hug with Team Voltron is something that legitimately happened in the show, and not part of a character's fantasy, it's even more galling that the only people Post-Resurrection Shiro receives hugs from are Keith, right after his revival, and Allura, when she's bidding him farewell before she kills herself.
This man died, and he's only hugged by two people once he's brought back to life. Disgraceful.)
🐰Favorite non-human character: Since so much of the cast is comprised of non-human aliens, I'll reword this prompt a little bit.
My favorite non-human, in the sense that she doesn't have any somewhat human features other than two forward-facing eyes, two hands with fingers and thumbs, two feet, and a mouth located on her face, is Shay.
I love how gentle, sweet, and soft-spoken she is. Precious rock girl.
My favorite non-humanoid character is a three-way tie between Bae Bae,
Kosmo,
and the mice.
Bonus shout out to Kova for having an interesting design and being a space cat.
❤️🩹 Character who deserved better: Just one? I'll have to go with the only character who was treated worse than Shiro by the hack brain trusts in charge of the train wreck this show became, and that is, of course, Allura. One could write entire essays covering all of the ways she was heinously wronged by the writers, from never getting the chance to heal from her grief over losing her parents and entire home world and culture, to having her trust exploited and betrayed by Lotor, to bearing the weight of her guilt over that betrayal all the way up to the moment she sacrifices herself, to the utterly needless and cruel sacrifice, itself.
The fact that I've seen fanfiction tags and comments referring to her as a "bitch", and fics where the author warps her character, emphasizing her flaws to a ridiculous degree for the purpose of bashing her, usually complemented by a nice side of Shiro warping and bashing, with the two of them uniting to be great big bullies to Lance, Keith, or both, is absurd and detestable. But, unfortunately, it's the sort of behavior one comes to expect from a fandom populated by majority young, somewhat overzealous fans.
Spite has always been a powerful motivator for me, however, so every encounter with a fic, comment, or post of this nature only makes me like Allura and her vastly under-appreciated friendship with Shiro all the more. The price of being noble, self-sacrificing, hyper-competent, beautiful, and hated by your writers because of it is immature fans who can't or are unwilling to appreciate you, I guess.
Their loss.
---
Thank you so much for the submission! ❤

We Are Connected: Chapter 2: An Unwelcome Arrival
As they got closer and closer to the planet, Shiro started to have second thoughts. Coran's words rang in his head. He turned to Allura, worry on his features.
"Allura, are we sure this is a good idea? Like Coran said, it has been ten thousand years. Aengtew and Seäumni might not even be there anymore." He said. He was trying to tell her in a polite way that the two might not even be alive anymore. Allura looked at the leader of Voltron.
"I understand your worry, Shiro. However, you must believe me. I stayed on Pandora for at least two decafeebs. I know the Na'Vi very well." Allura said. "They are a relatively peaceful people." She said. Lance frowned.
"Yeah, well, last time Coran said something was 'peaceful', Hunk and I got shot at by Galran fighters while trying to get the yellow Lion. You Alteans have a very different definition of what 'peaceful' actually means." He said. Hunk nodded.
"Yeah, what Lance said. So, the question is, are they going to kill us right as soon as we land, or are they going to sacrifice us?" Hunk asked, listing off the two worse case scenarios. Allura sighed and smiled.
"I understand your hesitance, but you must trust me. They will not cause us any harm," she said. Allura stopped the Castle just before entering the atmosphere of the planet. "Now, we will not go down in the Lions. We will go down in pods. The pods are smaller than the lions and I do not want to upset the balance of the planet." She said. Keith and Shiro shared an unsure look.
~~~~
You sat in a field of grass, your hands lay flat on the surface. The area surrounding your hand glowed a gentle white. Your eyes were closed, concentrating. Suddenly, you heard a voice in your head.
*'Ma 'ite, oel ngati kameie.' The voice sounded. The voice was young, but still deep, filled with much wisdom and experience. A smile graced your face, hearing the voice of Eywa.
*'Awvea, oel ngati kameie.' You responded. Your ears twitched lightly, making sure to pay attention to your surroundings whilst communicating with the Great Mother.
'How fair my people? How is Home Tree?' Eywa asked.
'Your people flourish happily. Akou and Tamìun lead the People in peace and strength.' You responded. Suddenly, you felt a change in the wind. Your smile fell and your ears twitched.
'Something is coming, Ma 'ite. When it arrives, do not fear. For they are familiar faces.' Eywa advised.
'I carry your wisdom, Awvea. Farewell.' You responded.
'Farewell, Ma 'ite.' Eywa responded. With that, you opened your eyes and sighed. You lifted your hands from the grass. The Seeds of the Great Tree floated down and around you. With a soft smile, you lifted your hands, allowing one of the seeds to float just above your palms, tickling your hands lightly. Your ears twitched as your heard the familiar war cries of your People. Lifting your hands, the seed floated away in the air, returning to the Tree. Giving an almost bird like call, you waited for your Ikran.
~~~~
*Ma 'ite, oel ngati kameie = Daughter, I See You
*Awvea, oel ngati kameie = Great Mother, I See You
~~~~~
As the pods floated down towards the surface of Pandora, the paladins looked around in wonder at what they saw around them. The differences in color were astounding. Lance's eyes widened, seeing, what looked like a monkey with blue-green skin and four arms.
"Woah! Is that a monkey with four arms?!" He shouted. Allura smiled looking at it.
"That's a prolemuris, Syaksyuk in Na'Vi." She explained. As they got closer to the ground, arrows started flying up at them. Shiro frowned and looked around.
"What's going on?" He asked. Pidge ran over to the glass and looked down.
"Uh, Allura, I think you got the definition of 'peaceful' wrong again." Pidge said in an unsure tone. Allura smiled.
"Let me handle this," she said. The pod door opened and Allura stepped out, her arms out to the side, hands out, showing that she meant no harm. "Greetings, Na'Vi, children of Eywa. I am Allura, daughter of King Alfor, Princess of Altea. I come in peace. I wish to see Aengtew and Seäumni." She said. However, she was met with more arrows pointing at her, the angry hisses and yelps of the Na'Vi did not cease. Just as an arrow was about to let loose, there was a familiar voice.
*"Kehe!" A voice sounded. An Ikran, with a Na'Vi riding, flew down to the ground. The Na'Vi dismounted and turned to the rest, bowing down and moving their arms forward. *"Mawey, Na'viya! Mawey!" The Na'Vi called. The rest seemed to follow their command, lowering their weapons, still on guard.
*"'upe lu po?" One or the warriors asked. The Na'Vi turned to the warrior.
*"Mawey, Leaypaw," they turned towards Allura and the Paladins, a protective look in their yellow eyes. *"Fìketuwongti oel stìyeftxaw." They said. Feeling tense, Keith reached for his bayard, however, he was stopped by Shiro. Shiro looked at his friend and shook his head. The Na'Vi slowly walked around the Princess, eyeing her up and down. They soon stopped in front of her, then, their yellow eyes widened in realization. "It cannot be," they whispered. *"Allura te Altea, Alfor'ite?"
*Kehe = No
*Mawey, Na'viya! Mawey! = Calm, People! Calm!
*'upe lu po? = What are they?
*Mawey, Leaypaw = Calm, Leaypaw
*Fìketuwongti oel stìyeftxaw = I will look at this alien.
*Allura te Altea, Alfor'ite? = Allura of the Altea, daughter of Alfor?
~~~~
//Here's chapter 2. I hope you all like it.//

Farewells are never easy, but sometimes they're needed. The other reality needs their Voltron back, so the team finds themselves on the edge of saying good-bye to their counterparts. To their dear friends.

farewell
I'm watching the hallow but my dog is barking and it's annoying.
because I'm watching the hallow, my question is minorly related.
do you have Netflix? if so, what's your profile picture?
alternatively, tell me your profile picture for something else.
an eye for an eye: Mine is catra from She-Ra (I love her, okay?)
also! the hallow is such a comfort show, and Carmen sandiego. why does Netflix have such good cartoons?
seriously, She-Ra, dead end, Voltron, Carmen sandiego, the hallow- they're all great. too bad they cancelled dead end and Lockwood and co. if they hadn't, maybe we could've been friends
wait the hallow was cancelled too. but idk what a third season of this would've done for anyone so i don't overly care.
hello.
I’ve never seen it! (Should I??)
last I checked my Netflix profile is Nick Nelson :)
I’m not a cartoonish person so out of all of them I’ve only seen Carmen Sandiego and some of She-Ra

Goodbye Letter to Voltron Legendary Defender
I don't know if anyone is going to see this. I am not even gonna put any tags.. But I just had to put my final goodbye to the show. (I still will probably post VLD stuff, especially my Bobby Sox klance fic. This is just my farewell to the show being taken off Netflix).
Voltron was a show that was there for em when I felt like no one was. it was something that gave me hope in the world, and in myself. It has single handedly changed my life. It helped me make friends, even if those friends didn't always stick around for long. It gave me hope that I will find my place, that I will be able to 'Go. Be Great.' It gave me hope that not everything is hopeless, if you find the right people to stick by your side.
Voltron Legendary Defender and it's fandom. It helped me to discover parts of myself I had no clue about. It's fandom space taught me about the LGBTQ+ community, and how loving and accepting it can be. I had no idea that I was bisexual and non-binary, but the fandom showed me that.
Voltron showed me that it's not about who you are or where you come from. For we are all made up of the same cosmic dust, and it's all about the actions that we take that make up who we are. Not everything is black and white.
Voltron brought me more comfort than any other media. (And I have been a die hard Fairy Tail fan since 2013/2014). Watching animatics, reading fanfics, reading and staring at the fancomics and the fanart of all the ships, AUs, and headcanons. It taught me to expand my horizons in how I think and how I see things and people.
Voltron has also taught me that love (while some are canon, and soem are only headcanon), it comes in all forms. Queer, straight, platonic, romantic, it comes in all forms and that everyone deserves it.
Voltron you will always be one of my greatest treasures and I will always cherish the time that we had together. Thank you.
KJ

Today I say goodbye to my beloved and rare Netflix profile pic
Pidge from Voltron: Legendary Defender!
A comfort character.
Alas... Netflix says I'm not allowed to use my Dad's Netflix account anymore since I live 30 minutes away so I will bid thee farewell. With nothing but this screenshot to preserve my memory~
and how it still exists when I visit my dad as long as he decides he wants to pay for Netflix which probably won't last now that I can't use it

Thanks Lore! your first fic was for SW?! sounds cool ^^
1.How many works on Ao3? 2 I think! posting on Tumblr is easier so I sticked to that for the most part
2. What is your A03 word count?
3. What fandoms do you write for? TLH mainly, and in my head/drafts there's some RWRB and Voltron, but nothing even remotely finished.
4. What are your top five fics by kudos? There are no five, so:
Darling, I've been having dark dreams (154)
Cause I'm never gonna heal.... (75)
5. Do you respond to comments? Why/Why not? Absolutely! Nothing brings me as much satisfaction as people commenting on my works.
6. Fic you wrote with the angstiest ending? Judging by reactions, either But if my heart is to stop today please have your lips bid me farewell, or Covered in you. I'd be partial to Covered..., because that while thing was just pure angst, while But... is more if a tragic drama.
7. Fic you wrote with the happiest ending? Hmmm... If we hold on together?
8.Have you received hate in your fics? nah, I think I'm way too small of a creator for that lol
9. Do you write smut? Not really, but not due to preference, but rather lack od skill. I hate badly written smut.
10. Crossovers? No, not my thing.
11. Have you ever had a fix stolen? Nah, same as 8.
12. Have you ever had a fix translated? Not that I know of.
13. Have you ever co-written with another author before? no. as much as I love brainstorming and for example creating headcanons together, I dont think I'm fit for co-writting. I'm too stubborn.
14. Favourite ship of all time? not able to answer with one, obviously. Firstprince, Anne x Gilbert, Zoyalai, Thomastair.
15. WIPs you don't think you'll finish? Probably all of TLH, really, aside from Circus AU. If I ever get back into fanfiction it will most likely not be TSC. (aside, again, from Circus AU.)
16. Writing strengths? I don't really know? conveying emotions I think?
17. Writing weaknesses? Action/descriptive scenes?
18. Thoughts on dialogue in a fic of another language? I loooove it, as long as there's translation of course. I think it adds a great touch, especially if done well. I've always used help of a native speaker when I wrote mine, so I think either that or actually speaking the language is needed.
19. First fandom you wrote for? If scribbling in the margins of school notebooks a self insert romance at twelve counts, HP. yikes.
20. Favourite fic you've written? Covered in you or I wanna learn to love.
I'm not really on here so I don't know who's active still, therefore I'm not tagging! if you see this and wanna do it, consider yourself tagged tho!
Thanks for the tag @sixofsol ! I've missed these kinda tag games, they're so fun to do!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
20 so far! (I published my first fic in Jan of this year oml)
2. What is your AO3 word count?
172,381! My goal is to get 200k written by new years day but October was a terrible month for writing so I'm 10k words behind schedule :(
3. What fandoms do you write for?
So far only six of crows. One day I want to branch out into rwrb or lokius but for now the wesper brainrot is way too strong
4. What are your top five fics by kudos?
Of Merchlings and Letters Home with 963
Of Lies and Rash Decisions with 839
I Wish You Meant It with 787
You got me wrapped around your finger (not that I'm complaining) with 600
Jesper Fahey Couldn't Sleep with 537
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Yes! I love responding to comments as they make my smile sm. Sometimes I'm too overwhelmed (in a good way) or busy to answer immediately but I do try my best!
6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
Heh it definitely has to be Just You and Me Merchling. I had so much fun writing that one, hurt no comfort is my beloved.
7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Uhm, depends on how you want to look at it. Fic with the fluffiest ending? Probably Summer Days Drifting Away or Out Of The Blue. Fic where they finally found happiness after everything they'd been through? Flair For The Dramatics or Never Let Me Go. Fic where against all odds it worked out in the end? Of Lies and Rash Decisions.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
Thankfully I haven't to my knowledge.
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
I dabble in some every now and then... it's always soft and either full of jesper being a simp or a pining idiot (or both) during it. Lost On The Shape Of You and The Longest Hour are my only published examples
10. Do you write crossovers? What's the craziest one you've written?
The only crossover I've published was Never Let Me Go, if that even counts considering it was more of a Spiderverse AU then a Spiderverse crossover. I have a How To Train Your Dragon wesper au in the works, but it's still in the baby phase so I don't yet know how faithful to the og movie the storyline will play out. There will definitely be all the iconic scenes anyway.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not to my knowledge, no.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yeah! Of Merchlings and Letters Home, Of Lies and Rash Decisions and Flair For The Dramatics have all been translated into French by the wonderful shippoutsy on ao3 and twitter. (Link to the translated fics in the titles) it is one of the highest honour someone can bestow to a fanfic writer in my opinion, alongside fanart and book binding. If I was only more fluent in my native language I'd offer to translate so many of my fave fics
13. Have you ever cowritten a fic before?
Not yet, but I'd love to one day! @mezlymils squinting at you babe
14. What's your all-time favourite ship?
Wesper... who's surprised?? Nobody
15. What's a WIP you'd like to finish but doubt you ever will?
So far it's my Rose Tinted Glasses wip. Tooth rotting fluff is way too difficult for me to write and I am STRUGGLING.
There's also the omalh epilogue
16. What are your writing strengths?
Metaphors are my lover and descriptive imagery my best friend!! I love being able to metaphor the fuck out of everything and I defo think one of my strengths is setting the scene. There's also internal monologuing but I think that's my adhd jumping out there hehe
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Definitely dialogue and small scenes that don't require much description, such as washing dishes or something else mundane but necessary to the scene. I don't feel like I'm a very humorous person so having dialogue that's natural and in character is something I can struggle with a LOT.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?
It's quiet jarring to me personally, really takes me out of the scene and forces me to disconnect from the fic, especially if its a language I don't know. A word or two is fine, but whole sentences don't work for me.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I used to publish marauders fics on wattpad when I was 12...
20. Favourite fic you've ever written?
Of Lies and Rash Decisions my eldest child, Little Stolen Moments my middle child and Never Let Me Go my youngest child. Those fics are everything to me for so many reasons that I won't delve into here lest I bore you lmao

when i started watching voltron, in july 2016, it was a weird moment in my life. i didn’t believe in myself, i had no friends at university (and i still don’t ahha...) and i was homesick shitless. the only way of comfort i had was the tv shows i was watching at the time to distract me from thinking how miserable i felt. at that time i was into miraculous ladybug a lot, and soon i noticed that a lot of the blogs i followed started posting about this voltron show. it wasn’t quite clear to me what it was at first, i had no idea it was a reboot or whatever, but the fanarts seemed pretty cool and funny, and i immediately noticed there was a lot of focus about a certain duo in particular coughcoughcough and i sorta understood what type of ship those two were: the type i like.
anyways, i started watching this show out of mere curiosity because no one couldn’t shut tf up about it, and at first i was only mildly invested. the characters were enjoyable, the animation was gorgeous and it felt to me like it was more of a “yay the power of friendship!” kinda deal. i didnt feel strongly towards klance, or even at all. yeah at the beginning i was like “it’s ok but i guess i’m here for the found family trope more”. then i don’t know what happened, i gave season 1 a quick rewatch because i felt like my viewing of it had been a tad too superficial, and then i got swooped in. and klance became so quickly, so so so so quickly, probably one of my fave ships of all time. i dont watch too many shows nor i get invested in ships that much unless they cover all the peculiar aspects that i personally like. i can count on one hand the ships that i’m truly passionate for, and klance is one them. and it’s important to me and it was (and still is!) very comforting to have something i could enjoy so deeply in all of these years my mental health was in really bad states. to be fair this whole show and fandom affected my mental health as well but whatever lmao, i’m not here to mention all the discourse and all of the bad stuff the show did or i’ll get a fucking headache before i finish.
this is getting way too long so i’ll get to the point immediately. voltron as a show went downhill season by season and most of their writing choices have been bad, careless and problematic. so bad that as i was saying it affected me (and probably other ppl too) mentally. but what i will always take with me from this whole experience are a lot of things. this is the fandom i personally made more posts about. it really sparked my creativity and not only that, i learned a lot of news things. life is a constant learning experience and you never stop learning something and i’m glad for that. i got to know a lot of new people, some who i can proudly call my friends. and just in general i admire the passion of every creator that contribuited something to the fandom, whether it’s with art, or a fan fiction or even a simple post. i admire your passion and talent not just about the voltron/klance content created, but in general. it’s inspiring to see and i wish you all the best in the future. so a big thanks especially to these people because it’s what made it worth staying.
everytime the show would fuck something up, there would always be some piece of fanart or a fic that would make me smile immediately. and it still is that way and probably will be that way after season 8. this was meant to be a goodbye but it more turned into a thank you to the people who created the content in the fandom that we all know and love. and it’s thanks to you all that the true potentials of this show have been explored like they should have and DESERVED TO, it’s thanks to y’all if something like klance will live on and i’m happy about that. i dont even have an opinion on s8 nor i do care that much, (there will be ofc be spoilers on this blog for it) but this is the final closure so yeah that’s all i have to say. bye voltron it was a ride, but at least i got something to take with me even though i only care about your characters, the animation and klance than I will ever care for your stupid ass plots ❤️❤️❤️❤️ maybe let the gays be happy next time xoxoxo
#idk how to tag this...#anyways#farewell voltron#season 8 is tomorrow so this is the right time to post this whatever happens#idc#klance outsold#my post#i’m about to go on my flight so i’ll Queue this or something idk#but I wanted to put it out there#if you’re not gonna watch s8 ur valid#i’m dreading it as well#but we need closure
