@loturaweek2024 Day 4: Retro Voltron

My first time drawing DotU Lotura!!! I love 80's Lotor's little shorts~ 😆💖💜

Lotura Celestial Wedding

My latest labour of love, doodled in small increments over the course of a few weeks. 💜 Here they are, waltzing among nebulae and galaxies.

Allura’s gown is my own adaptation of her regular dress into a silken, gossamer ballroom gown, attempting to preserve the little Altean details.

Lotor’s suit is a compilation of his own armor and his mother’s uniform in S8, as a nod to his Altean heritage. Don’t worry, he’s still half-Galra; he’s got many ways to express his Zarkonian side 😉. His little diadem is also of Altean design. Simple enough not to compete with his beautiful portrait.

And gold sparkles, because I said so.

My three favorite goobers from my three favorite video games :3

Characters from left to right are Mae Borowski(from Night in the Woods), Rambley the Raccoon(from Indigo Park), and Howard Lotor(from Tails Noir/Backbone)

Don’t care what anyone says but this is such a good show. But the last two seasons (and maybe the 6th season) literally assassinated the best characters. Allura and Lance.

Why Allura? She fell in love with Lotor. Lotor. The guy who idk is the son of ZARKON. Person who killed her home. And keep in mind she knew this (from what I remember) Yet she fell for him.

And Lance. Omg Lance. In the last seasons they made him out to be the “dumb one”. They made him out to be this helpless guy for Allura. And I get that he liked her, we see that in the seasons before, but he was never that pathetic. And it makes me sad cause he was always the type of guy to believe in himself. And I’m not saying that he can’t be insecure, it just made me mad when other people would put him down.

(Don’t know if what I’m saying makes sense, just wanted to ramble)

And I think lastly, Allura and Lance getting together.

Omg could they have not have rushed it so bad?? Like seriously, I get we saw Lance trying to flirt with Allura, but does never truly felt like interactions that could be considered “ship moments” (to me at least). So on the last season when Allura suddenly likes Lance. It felt so abrupt? I just wish they could have shown other moments before the 8th season of Lance and Allura that would have made me ship them more.

(And honestly I could say the same for Klance. As much as I love that ship, my favorite ship of the show. If Keith and Lance would’ve gotten together I probably would have said “this feels rushed” cause though they share more “ship moments” there characters were more separated as the seasons went on.)

Anyways I wanted to talk about that, I do have more stuff (negative) to say about the show but that’s what I want to say right now. I mean I just wrote this to ramble about Voltron cause it’s one of my favorite shows and the fandom is honestly dead, and I have no one to talk about this to in my real life. So yeah. And if you want to say something about what I said then let’s talk. I’m more then happy to have a friendly discussion :)

I had to make this. And so I present to you my collection taste in men.

And some exceptions.

Plus this one i've found not so long ago, but he already meets all my standards.

[humanoidempress]

Lotor redemption arc!!!!

Yes he was evil, yes he was using alteans as batteries basically.

HOWEVER I believe he could've been guided into a new direction, into a better direction. with the help of Allura and the Paladins.

Plus, me and the other 3 Lotura shippers would loved to see them together😔

Hi flower!!! Great to have you back and I’m glad you are doing well!! Just letting you know that LB continues to rotate around in my head like a rotisserie chicken so I have some more art!

I’ve had this as a wip for months, I hate backgrounds but I finally finished it! Loved the scenes of them in the forest! You can really tell how much they like being together!

After I finished it the first time I reread the chapter and remembered that they were covered in mud lol so hereis that edited version! I love re-reading your story I wish I could read it for the first time again and I am forever great-full that you continue to work on this fanfic! I eat up anything you write!

Lastly I was practicing not drawing same face syndrome so I practiced with the bunker group! I have some more silly drawings that I’ll share later but welcome back! I also have had some problems with art block but drawing the LB characters is always such fun!

!!!!!!!!!!!!

ilysm GOD these are utterly wonderful once again, you truly do spoil me by dedicating your creative talents to my fic 🥰🥰🥰

"The waltz ― not a complicated dance, really. The lady takes her place slightly to the left of the leading gentleman, six basic steps, and that is all. However, it is said that the true test of the perfect waltz is for it to be so swift, so delicate, and so smooth, that a candle flame will not be extinguished in the hand of the lead dancer. Now, that requires the perfect partner...

Would you be mine?"

i am once again expanding on my ideas of how i’d write voltron but this time it’s thanks to @iveofficiallygonemad’s encouragement to hear about the galra generals

so first off, lotor + the generals should have been foils to the paladins, minus shiro cuz he’s missing when they’re introduced. the paladins being everyone in their OG lion + allura in black for reasons i’ve explored a buncha times already. the foils would be: lotor and allura, acxa and keith, narti and pidge, ezor and lance, and hunk and zethrid.

each one of these pairs has some surface level traits that are extremely similar if not identical, while having deeper traits that are completely opposite. allura and lotor are both royalty and their team’s leader, but with completely different moralities and approaches to ruling/leading. keith and acxa are both the right hands (and look so similar that ppl thought they were secret twins lmaooo) but where acxa is cold and calculating, keith is impulsive and hot-headed. both pidge and narti are very agile and keep secrets, but pidge hacks computers and narti hacks people’s minds. lance and ezor are both adaptable and outgoing, but ezor has a cruelty to her that lance doesn’t, instead being very kind. similar to them, hunk and zethrid are both powerhouses, but hunk knows to use his power responsibly while zethrid loves fighting for the sake of it. there could have been an excellent showcase here of how the team with more kindness and compassion are always beating the team that’s more cruel and uncaring.

now i don’t like the narti died, and i maintain that lotor should have been redeemed— not because i particularly like his character in canon, but because he could’ve had a much better one. he was clearly shown to have shitty parents, and it would’ve been so much more satisfying to see him rebel against them and break the cycle as it were. and with the blade of marmora being an organization of galra working against the empire, it’s clear where they could go.

i’m imagining a plotline of zarkon being resurrected or whatever happened in those seasons, and lotor being told him + his team now have no use, they were just a stand-in for zarkon while he was down and out. it’d be the final straw for him, and he’d storm off, his parents assuming his just throwing a tantrum. in reality, he’s convincing the generals— who are really the closest thing he has to friends— to just defect from the empire.

acxa has an undying loyalty to lotor, so she’s open to whatever he wants to do. ezor and zethrid are very chaotic neutral, down for whatever strikes their fancy in the moment and in this moment the idea sounds exhilarating and fun. they aren’t outright villains anymore but they’re still quite fucked up and tbh. good for them!

as for narti, she was killed in canon before she got any sort of personality, so i’m gonna hang onto the foil concept and base some personality and backstory on pidge’s. narti is very curious about life outside the empire, because the empire is all she’s known. she was a child soldier from day one. she also wants to get more knowledge about her powers and non-galran heritage, because it’s as much a mystery to her as it is to everyone else. she’s kind of always wanted to defect, but didn’t have the bravery to do so alone.

so they run away with no real plan of what to do. lotor wants a life outside of his father, but his father is ever expanding the empire, so he keeps losing places that are just his. that, plus his first hand witness of what the empire actually does, opens his eyes to the cruelty of his father’s colonization. that drives him to wanting to outright fight back against his father and the generals, who have been watching the same things, are right there with him.

acxa is watching the empire from an outsider’s position, and she’s seeing the real danger of being a mindless follower. she’s watching countless soldiers follow the orders of a handful of generals, and watching those generals not care when the soldiers get hurt or even die, because they’re just numbers and forces to the generals. she realizes that she should be making her own decisions and that even if she trusts lotor, he shouldn’t be the one in charge of her life.

narti is at first one track minded in finding her other parent’s home planet, but time and time again she watches a similar devastation happen on other planets. families get separated, important cultural artifacts are damaged, history documentation is destroyed. she learns she isn’t the only one dealing with this, and she doesn’t want any more people to suffer the same fate she has.

ezor and zethrid have been spending this time like a vacation from work, doing whatever seems most fun and rewarding. but they eventually start to see the empire repeatedly ruining their fun, and they don’t like it. they’d tell the others they don’t want zarkon interrupting them anymore and they don’t, but a large part of it is also seeing the hurt on their friends’ faces whenever they get caught in a firefight again. they love each other, and they love their friends, and they don’t want any of them getting hurt.

now obviously team voltron and their various allies wouldn’t trust lotor and co. but time and time again they’d see them helping voltron and hurting the empire how they can. eventually, there’s be tentative teamwork and down the line, they’d be invited to join the blade of marmora.

immediately all five of them would notice the familiarity between the blades and the empire. there’s basically no difference between their mottos; the blade is uncomfortably okay with letting soldiers die if it means getting the mission done.

the generals want to say something, but lotor doesn’t want to stir the pot too much. their position is very weak, there’s still very little trust in them. to come out the gate opposing how everything is done wouldn’t be good.

but the blade trusts voltron, doesn’t it? and one of the paladins is also a blade. so… they find keith and talk to him, telling him that while the blade has a good cause unlike the empire, both are a little too cool with letting people die, and it’s more than kind of upsetting.

keith, who is way too self sacrificial, doesn’t see a problem with this, but brings it up next time he’s with voltron. everyone is surprised by lotor + co’s behavior and ideals, and start to trust them more

i’m starting to lose steam here but um. lotor + co being good guys and the five of them co-leading the blade and making it better than the empire :-) they all get their own mini character arcs within this collective group arc and no one is killed for shock factor and no one is pushing the narrative of abused kids turning out just like their parents and continuing the cycle <3
