re: your tags on beatrice’s parents & her relationship w em, agreed, absolutely we need more nuanced portrayals of both, at least if only for the bittersweet comedic shenanigans potential

beatrice’s parents being like 🤗 and proud of beatrice when they learn she’s become a nun, and then ??? on how to respond when they find out that she’s a nun, yes, but she’s specifically a secret ass kicking nun in a coven for secret ass kicking nuns

Or maybe like beatrice awkwardly lieing to her parents and/or leaving aspects of her job out. her parents like oh how’s the nun life going oh dearest daughter of ours (defo not in those words lmao) and then being !!! in concern when they notice beatrice looking almost like she got mauled by some demon (which, yeah that’s exactly what happened) and then beatrice like uh yes, that is the result of uh, me and sister camila tried to cook again (in this case, for once that is also true, somehow beatrice & camila managed to fuck cooking up so badly they unwittingly got a whole demon involved somehow)

beatrice bringing up meeting ava to her parents and her parents making the usual judgemental remarks and then beatrice like uh i guess i’m taking that as you don’t want to meet ava then

and then beatrice’s parents being like, absolutely the fuck not, we want to meet her, how else will we ensure she’s good enough for you 😤

i think her parents might actually be one of those diplomats that know dark secrets so they know what type of nun she is! they might be hard on her in a different way if they knew

it might be less we want you to be the best and more why did you hurt yourself? we disapprove of injury does that mean you’re not the best warrior sister? are you in line to be the warrior nun? does the warrior nun die early? you should aim for mother superion

and then they might start getting involved in how she’s doing in her training, it might even be why she’s the best warrior sister cause her parents want her to be top of her class she has so much to lose

and then when she introduces ava ofc there are cutting remarks and some small passive aggressive fighting. but they do gauge ava up and down she might somehow throw them off so bad she wins them over. and by win them over they’re not Warm towards her but they no longer try to ruin her life with bea by planting terrible manipulative lies in bea’s head every time she visits poc mother in law style.

i think beatrice might actually have a bad relationship with her parents but they’re definitely not distant the way lilith’s mom is. they’re super involves and they’re for sure helicopter parents which is WHY her relationship with them is so terrible.

why am i like this 🙃 anyway a few days back i went and read up... anti-jaime meta & j/c endgame meta coz i'm an idiot rlly, and like once every month i get these doubts as to whether i'm being stupid? am i blind? so i like to check the opposition and my beliefs. i feel bad for a little while but it never works and i'm always like WHAT foolishness and i've done this like 3 times now and i'm honestly hoping i've learnt my lesson. because WTF

i saw what the other anon was talking about and went and reread that ridiculous meta; and i realised that the j*nsa shipper who thinks j*nsa is the endgame, is also a tw*ncest shipper who thinks... wait for it... JAIME & CERSEI are the hidden Beauty and the Beast?!?!?!

and they said how jaime/brienne would be unsatisfying becz a redemption arc for jaime is unsatisfying, COMPLETELY ignoring the reasons j/c is toxic and the person who's suffered most for it is jaime (manipulated into giving up his birthright & lordship, then traumatized, and they even blamed him for the white cloak in the first place? that he chose it for glory? NO, he chose it after a sleepless night w/ crrsei) AND that his true "redemption" should not be leaving the woman he's been willing to kill & maim for (yeah, just ignore the way he's been loathing himself, and realising how low he'd fallen, and all for nothing) for the first girl who walks up in 5 min. i hate how every jc shipper minimises brienne's importance in jaime's arc. (i mean, HAVE THEY EVEN READ ASOS? Did they see the part where HE JUMPS INTO A BEAR PIT, UNARMED & ONE HANDED, to save the "first girl who comes along in 5min?? WTF and this is even more ridiculous coz jaime has actually been loyal to cersei this whole time, brienne is not the first. he HAS been faithful to her to the detriment of his own chances at life and a family AND THEY PULL THIS BS? HOW?

and ofc, they somehow think jaime is the beauty with two beasts, and that grrm is not going to end with a jb endgame but that jaime's ultimately going to realise he & c are two "beautiful beasts" and die with c. (?????)

(btw pls feel free to ignore my rant i'm so sorry i have no idea why i just dumped all that in your inbox i just had to get it out becz i'm still stewing??? also THANK YOU for the kg jaime did nothing wrong, that cleansed my eyes becz i have recently read scalding hot takes such as "the show was right, he does not give a fig abt the innocents, he only cares for his family, he only killed aerys for his father and he is defo going to die with c" ignoring that uh - like hell tywin was in any danger from aerys, and he did not do it for his father to prove himself,i don't think there's anything jaime could do that would ever make tywin kill him... another was his redemption/arc is shallow becz "he never admits he's doing anything wrong, he only does good to feel selfish and proud, he's deluding himself with goldenhand the just and HA! HE'S NEVER GOING TO ADMIT THAT HE DID NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO KILL AERYS. HE WAS WRONG TO KILL AERYS. HE WAS A DUMMY 17 YO, he's soo stupid, he cares only for himself and his reputation and just ughhhh how do ppl misread him so badly??

dw anon I mean... I only read that meta when it's incorrectly tagged and there's a reason why I went and blacklisted the shit out of any jc tag ever as in that I was done reading stuff that made me want to punch a wall and you honestly said everything I would have so I don't have much to add but like to address a few of your points

(disclaimer: I'm discussing jc shippers who... have those takes/harass ppl if they think different not anyone who like ships jc in peace bc they like it for what it is just to... make sure it's clear)

a lot of the meta you mention is based on selective reading of some jaime chapters, of all of c's chapters in affc and ignoring brienne's existence the end

also a lot of the people writing it have zero idea of how brienne works as a character/what's her point in the narrative and haven't read her chapters nor have even tried to grow some empathy for her nor having learned from there what grrm wants ppl to learn from reading brienne chapters which i'm 100% not surprised about

like once someone asked me if I really went to therapy bc I was nonstandard attractive that's all I had to see to never be surprised again

also 'the first girl he ran into after five minutes' is someone who literally kept him alive and that he dreams of at night and in those dreams she puts herself in between him and his worst traumas and keeps on saying she'll keep him safe like............ sorry but lmao

(also I'm eating my hat if like cersei had done for jaime what brienne did when they were prisoners together but that's another problem entirely)

'he and c. are beautiful beasts' is like... y'all didn't even get the meaning of the og story did you

also lmao anyone who reads the books and the aerys story and gets the conclusion that he was selfish can't read and I'm dying on that hill bc again you're speaking of 17 yo with vietnamwar level ptsd who just wanted to protect the innocent and ended up being treated like scum because he killed a dude that should have been deposed years before like.... we fucking srs like if you read jaime chapters without coming to the conclusion that 'this is a genuinely nice guy whose life choices/relatives/circumstances/being an abuse victim with at least three different ppl abusing him was shoehorned into cynicism/doing horrid shit/terrible coping mechanism but it still couldn't manage to actually turn him into a truly bad person' then I have nothing to tell you because that's what's written and no amount of twisting/selective reading will change it, the end /shrug

anyway I'm at the point where any show truthing that doesn't recognize that the small council being made of minorities/commoners/discriminated ppl until then is literally the only thing grrm could and would have written for me goes into the trash automatically bc the show made no sense not even within its own continuity so miss me with trying to tell me the books actually end like that X°D

[negasonicimagines]

My One and Lonely

whew! this was intense! I’m really sorry if this doesn’t correctly fulfill these requests, folks! i tried! 

1: “okay what about poly yukisonic x reader where the yukio, ellie, and the reader have started a new relationship, but the reader is unsure of it?? and Ellie and yukio just reassure thems?? basically I just want poly yukisonic x reader angst with a happy ending. : ')” 2: “Could you do a negasonic imagine where reader is her girlfriend and has telekinesis? And Wade takes any opportunity to tease the couple so reader constantly uses her powers to slam the door in Wades face?” [yeah i defo didn’t really fill this one but the reader has telekinesis and DOES slam the door in Wade’s face and I have so many requests bro... but I’d be willing to redo this if you’re not satisfied] TRIGGER WARNING for mentions and discussion of past abuse. the reader also almost has a panic attack. let me know if i missed anything

“You know, you could just talk to them about it,” Wade tells you, and your fork and book fall to the ground.

“Uh, no? I literally can’t, dude. Now my fork’s dirty.”

“Uh, yeah. You literally can, dude. And that’ll teach you to be lazy, using your powers for easy stuff like turning pages and eating. I bet the fork’s not that bad.”

“Like you wouldn’t do the same thing,” you scoff, and he shrugs, nodding.

“Come on. It’s totally normal for you to be feeling the way you are. They were friends and dating before you came into the picture. Insecurity’s normal. Especially considering-”

“Call me insecure one more time and I’ll use the dirty fork to show you just how insecure your eye’s placement in your skull is,” you threaten, feeling your face heat up. You didn’t like that your weakness was so obvious. Or that he reminded you of her.

“Christ, maybe I really am a bad influence...Nah, we’re just birds of a feather,” Wade says with a cheeky grin you don’t know how you can see through the mask. Maybe his tone of voice makes the subtle expression more perceivable. “Sorry,” he quickly adds. “But, seriously. They’re the last people who are gonna judge you.”

“Who’s the last people that are gonna judge Y/N?” You hear from behind you. Ellie. Shit. She made you far more nervous than Yukio did. Yukio was the gentle, sensitive moon, and Ellie… Ellie was the sun. Nuturing, yes, but scorching, too.

“Well-”

“No one. Not important. Right, Wade?” you plaster on a smile, fiddling with the fork in your hand before letting it float in the air. “Want the rest of my ramen? I’m not very hungry.”

“Uh, yeah, sure.”

“Catch,” you say, flinging the fork at him telepathically. He gasps sharply, but his reflexes are quick enough to grab it.

You get up, and notice Ellie looks a bit… gloomier than usual.

“Everything okay?” you ask, and she nods, her lips twitching into a small smile for you before quickly concealing the expression.

“Yeah, I’m alright. ‘Kio and I missed you at lunch, that’s all.”

“Well, I was, uh… Hanging out with Wade. Like you saw,” you explain.

“You didn’t seem very happy. He didn’t say anything to bother you, did he?”

“Oh, uh, no. I was just a bit stressed. Exams coming up and all that.”

“Exams are a couple months away,” Ellie reminds you. “But you were stressed, weren’t you? Look, if you’re having regrets, whatever, fine. I wouldn’t be happy about it and neither would Yukio, but you have a right to your feelings. Just don’t fucking lie to me, okay?”

“I- I promise it’s not about that. Really, I’m… Happy to be with you guys.”

“Then what is it? Seriously?”

You stiffen, you can tell she’s getting angry. Your heart feels like a stone in your chest, cracked and heavy.

“It’s nothing,” you say, not meeting her eyes.

“Alright. Keep your secrets, then,” Ellie sighs, walking away. You head to your room, locking the door behind you. Most students with telepathic abilities get their own rooms in an effort to avoid accidental harm of their fellow students. This was the case for you, and you used to like it.

But then, you met Ellie and Yukio. The two of them were already dating when you were officially introduced, and you became fast friends with them. It quickly evolved into more, and the three of you became what many refer to as a “throuple.”

The facet of the insecurity Wade so rudely talked of earlier was, of course, the fact that they were roommates, and you were alone every night. They got to cuddle and kiss and you got to watch ASMR.

It was depressingly lonely. Sure, every once in awhile you could get away with sleeping over on weekends. But, most of the time, the teachers monitored the rooms, making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be, in case of emergency.

But, wait, there’s more!

As mentioned previously, Ellie is the sun. Yukio is the moon. What are you in that?

And it didn’t help that you were still struggling to cope with the aftermath of her, a little over a year later.

Before you began your schooling at Xavier’s, you were friends with a small group of fellow mutants that were slowly drawn together by fate. One of these mutants was a girl. You can’t even bear to think her name.

Back then, you were only telepathically gifted. You hadn’t even dreamed you would be capable of telekinesis one day.

But she, she had super-strength, and she liked to use it on you. Even when you didn’t want her to.

You were defenseless.

You shake, pulling your knees to your chest.

“Hey, why’s the door locked? I thought we were all gonna work together on our art projects.” Yukio’s bright voice is muffled by the door.

“Uh, um, yeah, yeah, I’ll be there in a, um, sec,” you say, your breathing growing heavier and more fast-paced. “Actually, uh, you- you and Ellie sh...sh-should just go and, uh, go work on your projects t-together. I’ll- Yeah, I’ll, uh, figure mine out eventually.” Shit, I’m doing a terrible job at covering this up.

“You okay in there, bunny?” It was a cute nickname that Yukio liked to call both you and Ellie.

“Mmhmm, yeah. Just a bit, uh, very tired. Gonna take a nap soon.”

“Okay…” she says, and you know she doubts you. Failure.

“On second thought, uh, I’ll just go to bed early tonight. Let’s get to work,” you decide, unlocking and opening the door.

Upon opening the door, you notice Wade behind them.

“Didn’t realize you took Art, Wade.”

“You also didn’t realize that we planned for you to come to our room. You were supposed to show up twenty minutes ago, actually. So, we went to talk to Wade. Since you tell him everything these days,” Ellie says, pure bitterness in the mention of Wade. It wasn’t that she hated him. She hated that you told him and not her. Not even Yukio, who she’d admit was far more approachable than her.

“Sorry, kid,” he says. “They had a right to know.”

“You- You didn’t tell them about- About…” You feel your eyes widen, alarm racing through you slowly and quickly at the same time.

“No, not that. Not her. Just the other stuff.”

“Oh.”

“Her?” Ellie asks. “Cheating on us, seriously?”

“No,” you say, and it comes out as a whimper due to her angry tone. “I- I- This was a bad idea, Wade. You guys should just go, all three of you, I don’t feel well, I’m tired, I-���

“I’m gonna leave you kids to sort this out,” Wade tells you three. “Good luck.” He slowly backs away.

“Can you close the door?” Yukio asks, and you jolt, door slamming in Wade’s face.

“Yeah,” you say afterwards. This was becoming less stressful thinking and more panic attack by the moment.

“You’ve been avoiding us lately,” Yukio points out. “Wade already told us why, but… I want to hear it from you, ‘kay?”

“It’s nothing, I-” You take a careful, ragged breath, sitting on your bed. Yukio sits on the stool at your desk, and Ellie leans her back against the door. “I just don’t fit. I’ve never fit in anywhere, and I never will. All I’ve done trying is bother others. Especially Ellie and you.”

“You don’t fit?” Ellie asks. “What the fuck do you mean?”

“I- You’re the sun...Yukio’s the moon… And I’m just… I’m Pluto.” The last bit comes out as a shaky whisper. A large, hot tear rolls down your cheek swiftly.

“What?! No! No, bunny, you’re- You’re…” Yukio kneels in front of you, swiping your tear away with her thumb and keeping your sad face in her hand. “I can’t think of anything, but you’re not Pluto, baby.”

“The eclipse. You’re the eclipse, Y/N. Everything aligning perfectly so that we can be together,” Ellie says thoughtfully. “Is that all? You feel like you don’t have a place here, with us? You do. You’re what makes this whole thing work, okay? Now please, please tell me you didn’t cheat on us for validation.”

“The her comment, right…” you say, the temporary relief you felt by Ellie’s original statement subsiding. “No. I didn’t cheat, I swear. I’d never do that to you guys, to anyone. I… The last relationship I had before you guys was, um… Not the greatest. It was around a year ago, a little more. Before Xavier’s. Before I honed my abilities. There was a girl, a mutant like me. Like us. But she, uh… She had super-strength. And I wasn’t very physically strong, I was pretty weak, actually. So… You can probably see where I’m going with this, or I hope you do, because I don’t like talking about it, not at-” You finally dissolve into tears. “Not at all…”

Ellie rushes towards you to embrace you, and you flinch reflexively.

“I’m sorry. I was really thoughtless. Just now and for most of our interactions today,” Ellie admits. “I’m just… Things between me and ‘Kio weren’t the greatest, but we were trying because we knew we were meant to be together. And then you came along, and everything made sense. Everything finally fit together, perfectly. And- And I don’t wanna lose that. Ever.”

“Same here,” Yukio agrees. “You’re so great, Y/N. Wade said that you feel really lonely all by yourself in here. Maybe we should try to get you transferred to our room. Sometimes they let people room in groups of three, and they probably could use the extra room.”

“Yeah, but… It’d be kind of annoying to have me tagging along all the time,” you remind her.

Ellie’s eye twitches. “Tagging...Along?”

“That’s the phrase, isn’t it?” you ask.

She takes a deep, calming breath, and you watch her fingers move as she counts to ten on them silently. They’re both sitting with you on the bed, now.

“Ah-” Ellie clenches her teeth, hissing for a moment, as if she’s in pain. “Y/N, you’re just as much a part of this relationship as Yukio and I. What part of that is so hard for you to understand?”

“I- I don’t know. It’s just hard to believe. I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop.”

“What shoes? There are no shoes here,” Yukio tells you. “I really only wear them because it’s frowned upon not to, and because if I didn’t then I’d pick up all sorts of nasty germs.”

Ellie nods in agreement. “Same.”

You sigh, knowing there’s no way to convince them of how worthless you are to the relationship. Maybe because to them, you aren’t?

“Hey, did you see that? I saw that. I think it’s clicking, ‘Kio.”

“I did see it,” Yukio agrees, and you smile a little at their antics, shaking your head. “Let me go to the office and get the room transfer forms. I’d love to stay, but I think you two cuties need to talk a bit… In private.”

Yukio exits.

“I’m...Sorry. For talking to Wade and not you guys. I shouldn’t have-”

“You’re allowed to confide in your friend. I shouldn’t have taken it as personally as I did. I just know there was a time, before we all got together romantically, where you would’ve talked to me or Yukio about something if it stressed you out that much. But I guess not… We didn’t know about her.”

“It’s just hard to even think about. I feel so ashamed all the time, I’m really sorry that I didn’t-”

“Seriously. You don’t have to tell me anything you don’t want to, and I feel seriously shitty that I was such an asshole about it. You have a right to privacy, as long as you’re not putting anyone or anything in danger. But, the anyone and anything includes you. Okay?”

“Okay,” you respond, and Ellie kisses your forehead, her dark brown eyes looking to yours before she places the softest kiss on your lips, carefully holding your face as if you were priceless and she didn’t want to risk breaking you. You lean into her, forehead on her shoulder.

“Let’s lay down. I owe you some cuddling. I hear I’m an excellent big spoon,” she tells you.

“From a biased source. Let’s try the sweetheart’s cradle,” you offer.

“What the fuck is the sweetheart’s cradle?”

“Honestly, I did far too much research into the perfect cuddle position, for the time it might actually happen.”

“We don’t really cuddle, do we? Yukio hasn’t really given you any cuddles either, has she? Wow, you’re really missing out- ...Oh. I’m so sorry,” Ellie apologizes, looking more heartbroken than determined with this one. She hadn’t realized the extent to which you were being neglected by them. “I’m sorry, doll. Really sorry.”

“Doll? That’s new,” you comment.

“I figured you deserved a petname of your own,” Ellie informs you. “Now, explain this ‘sweetheart’s cradle’ to me.”

[dictionarywrites]

hey for real tho? where do u get all your cool clothes? i need fashion shopping tips plz. i've been wearing sweatpants and tshirts for too long i need advice thank u

mmmm

Okay, so mostly, I shop secondhand, and I shop vintage. The sweater I’m wearing today is like, circa the early 90s, late 80s, and I tend to have a lot of stuff from like, the 70s-90s, as well as general pre-owned things. Other than that, I actually tend to go through clearance piles a lot - firstly, because it’s cheap, but secondly, because like, you do get a lot more statement pieces and things that other people are unlikely to wear, you know?

My favourite thing about dressing vintage is that you very rarely have something exactly like what the others have on in the room, and often, it’s not even something similar.

I’m definitely one of those snobs that doesn’t wear tracksuit bottoms/sweatpants like... At all. I bought my first pair in around ten years just yesterday because like, I’m starting off at the gym again, but. if you want something that’s equally comfortable, has similar loose pocket space, but adds a little more definition to the form, I totally recommend picking up like, some colourful harem pants and stuff like that.

You’ll usually have a tight waistband and tight bands on the ankles, too, and like, they do tend to look a lot smarter than the tracksuit bottoms if you get the ones with a tighter weave rather than the fabric that’s made to stretch but is subsequently just wrinkled while you’re wearing it, you know? 

Never underestimate the power of a collared shirt to snazz up an otherwise lacking ensemble - you can usually get hold of like, a decent Hawai’ian shirt or something like that and wear it in the same way you would a t-shirt, even if you prefer to have it loose instead of tucked in, you know? 

I tend to layer up because I’ve got no body fat to speak of, and ugly sweaters are my go-to, ordinarily over a collared shirt, over a t-shirt. 

I’m actually not of the belief that a t-shirt inherently looks bad or sloppy - if you experiment with stuff like the set of your trousers on your hips/waist, different kinds of tucks on shirts (I normally tuck everything in because I have an hourglass figure, but a French tuck a la Tan France is a great way to look smart and also keep an a-line figure which is ordinarily read as more masc), and stuff like that. Even a loose t-shirt can look very chic if it’s paired with like, matched shoes or something like that, you know?

It’s always about finding your own style, but totally think about stuff like

the colour schemes you like

especially think of the stuff in your wardrobe that pairs very well with each other, like a certain pair of shoes and a certain sweater; certain accent pieces like scarves and hats with particular skirts, etc

the kinds of patterns you like, especially re: their subtlety/boldness

graphic stuff

graphic design isn’t just only to be found in t-shirts. bags, scarves, pants and skirts, even shoes (I’ll put up a pic of my shoes later) can have an element of bright graphic imagery, and that can be just great for making an outfit pop

comfort.

you look good in clothes you’re comfortable in. defo don’t pick stuff up just because you think it will have to look good - if you’re uncomfortable in something, and you can’t settle into it, it won’t really look Right on you

even corsets etc should be comfortable and safe to wear as you go about your day-to-day

And the best thing about dressing in garbage and wild shite is that it’s cheap. The thing is, right, people write clothes off as ugly all the time, but like, even the ugliest thing will actually look really chic if you wear it with a much more subtle ensemble, and fashion is about having fun and playing with stuff, you know?

I normally go through charity shops and thriftstores, things like that, but I do shop online as well, and these are some of my recommendations:

everything5pounds | this is a clearance store that collects stuff from all kinds of shops, and then sells it on. i’ve genuinely had like, George jumpers still with the £30 tag on, and that i’ve picked up for a fiver.

it’s not a perfect site, because it is clearance, and some of the stuff you get will be trash - pay attention to stuff like the fabrics things are made with for cues toward quality, as well as reviews on products

E5P ships internationally, and they decide their shipping BY WEIGHT. this means that shipping is, uh, really fucking cheap compared to some stores, and also that if you do order in bulk (e.g. for summer or for winter; i actually bought my sister a box of stuff for Christmas, so she could have a variety to choose from) it really pays off

beyondretro | this is a vintage clothing store that’s gotten more expensive in recent years, but is still worth a good shout in my opinion, especially if you’re willing to dig through their virtual clearance bin

going vintage is a very good choice for heavy-wearing sweaters and the like - older stuff from the 70s to the early 90s is ordinarily made with a much higher quality than the standard stuff we find these days, and it’ll probably last you for a good deal longer whilst also being made of heavier wool

beyondretro’s shipping policies for Europe struck me as reasonable the last time I ordered from them, but your experiences in the US may vary

oxfam | practically, uk-only. i don’t even shop here anymore. oxfam put like, a lot of the stuff that goes into their charity shops online, and for UK-based people this can just be fabulous, honestly. I had like, whole winter coats very cheaply from Oxfam, and postage was reasonable in the UK because they’d get you to pay like, a base payment

Personally, I support that season 3 Shiro is a clone, but can you give me personality traits that clone Shiro is exhibiting that proves he is not the real Shiro?

*vaults over a desk* WELL….

listen my dude my buddy…..that shiro is fake as shit and i’m betting all my money on it. i have a whole “clone!shiro” tag with a lot of theories and stuff in it, so feel free to check that out. but here’s just a compilation of a bunch of evidence:

- tbh i’ve always kinda lowkey suspected Something about shiro being and/or having a clone….there’s that whole “you could have been our greatest weapon” speech that haggar gives at the end of s1, plus that whole hallucination of shiro being strangled by his like Dark OC Self so uhhh foreshadow anyone??

- it’s also like super suspicious that we still barely know anything about the experimentation that was done on shiro during his time in captivity. like…we saw him in the gladiator ring and we saw him escape but like literally nothing in between. so, in that time it doesn’t seem out of the question that they could’ve collected his DNA to make a clone (or…several…who fucking knows). - probably the most damning evidence is…everything in s3e5, but especially at the beginning, we hear a few bizarre references to shiro being “ready” for something called “project kuron” and uhhhh

i’m just gonna….leave that there…- idk how much time has passed but his hair growing that long in a relatively short amount of time??? unrealistic. (listen i can suspend my disbelief about sentient robot cats & aliens but NOT THIS.) - also at the beginning of that same episode he literally sees…himself?? lookin pretty….dead…or in a coma. could potentially be the Real Shiro.

- i know we’ve all been joking about shiro’s new weird hair/outfit but honestly like?? i’m p sure this was an intentional choice so that in the future we can differentiate between the two shiros. shiro could have easily just gone back to his regular haircut/outfit but the fact that he has a whole new Look™ suggests to me that we need to be able to physically tell the difference between New Shiro and Actual Shiro.- oh yeah he also casually mentions having a “weird headache” which absolutely screams “i have a mind-controlling brain chip” or some shit so uh!!! 

- plus black rejects shiro which sets off all kinds of alarms. yeah they can conveniently be like “oh well keith is black paladin now” but?? i highly doubt it’s that simple. s2 made a point of showing how strong the bond was between black and shiro, i really don’t think she’d choose to reject him. i think she Knows. 

but okay you asked about personality traits so i should probably actually address that. So!!!!

- yeah there’s definitely something….off about this new version of shiro. i’m gonna say off the bat that i really don’t think he knows he’s a clone (i got another ask specifically about that so i’ll go into more depth on it later). he defo somehow has shiro’s memories but…he feels just kinda like a copy of shiro that has some half-assed version of shiro’s personality downloaded into his brain.- one thing that kinda tipped me off is that this shiro seems more focused on voltron than he does on like…his friends. - he keeps repeating like “i’m shiro and i’m a paladin of voltron” which feels kinda…robotic?? - when he sees voltron he’s like “VOLTRON!!” instead of like, you know, calling out his friends’ names or something. - maybe it’s just me but his interactions with keith in particular feel really “off” somehow. first of all their reunion is kinda brushed over which could just be for time’s sake, but it does feel a little anticlimactic considering how torn up keith was about shiro being gone. like….we know they are very close, keith canonically sees shiro as his big bro, and that’s pretty evident in the first two seasons––but if you ask me their s3 convos feel a little forced and weird? - this scene in particular feels really…..odd imo:

like what? is this??? first off shiro’s dialogue sounds kinda stilted, like….if he is a clone with shiro’s memories, he probably at least knows that keith is like a little brother to him, and this feels like an attempt to acknowledge that somehow. but something about it feels like he’s just kinda going through the motions rather than actually saying this from the heart, if that makes sense. - but keith’s reaction is really what throws me off like…i know he’s stressed out about his new responsibilities, but for him to have literally no reaction to what shiro said doesn’t feel right. like, he values shiro’s opinion and i would think he would at least thank him or something, but he just….looks really upset and immediately looks away? i dunno, i feel like the boy knows at the back of his mind that something fishy may be going on.

there’s probably a lot more but i’m running on like literally zero hours of sleep…hopefully that kind of answers your question though!
