i think i might’ve made the missionary one before idk.

Alluras face markings being pink, a color she said is used to mourn and honor the dead in her culture is actuslly symbolism for how she is upon introduction, a person shaped by grief and loss that she is never Actually given time to heal from in canon

[blanceyblance]

I will always side eye the fact that in the fandom the slights against Keith are far more heavily discussed and remembered than the times Keith had insulted someone else, specially in regards of Allura and Lance

We always read about how Allura was racist and mean when he was revealed as half galra, when most of what she did was glare and kept her distance.

Yes, that was wrong but also she is a genocide survivor who is still processing her grief, you would think people would give her more leniency

She ends up apologizing later and Keith is fine with that.

Lance teases and pokes at Keith the first couple of seasons in a childish way but we had seen than other than annoyance Keith doesn't seem to mind that much, he even jokes and is friendly with Lance

The jerkiest Lance had been was implying Keith was lying about Shiro wanting him to pilot Black, and then he spends the next seasons being fully supportive and encouraging of Keith's leadership to the point he openly admits Keith is the future.

Both of these characters ended up growing from those actions, it was actually part of their development (for Allura to see galras as also allies and friends and Lance to "put the team before his pride") and they both apologize to him or end up making up for their wrong doings with actions.

But you still see people acting like they are horrible abusers.

Meanwhile, we had Keith:

Throw in Allura's face the fact that she got "cozy with Lotor", something we saw Allura feel very guilty about

Insult Allura's death father to her face

And say the reason he chose Lance was because he didn't want to spend eternity with him after Lance had sincerely complimented him

Keith does apologize (kind of, tbh Allura deserved an actual apology) and then mades up with Lance through actions, but my point is that the fans are ready to crucify Allura and Lance but I rarely if ever see hate towards Keith for moments where he is genuinely a jerk, in fact excuses are quickly made for it or barely mentioned

《《▪︎▪︎▪︎ @cyberghost-scout ▪︎▪︎▪︎thread

The shade among the trees was a comfortable presence to the venturing Altean man beneath its branches and coverage of leaves. Only reminding him of the time of day between the glances of sunlight peeking through its foliage.

The Altean had his hair tied into a neat-low ponytail and wore traditional Altean clothing. A light turquoise tunic with a contracting dark brown satchel crossing it. Weighed down by its contents inside.

The pathway he had usually taken had been an option, though this time he decided to venture from the usual pathway and head towards one of the less ventured areas. Being wary of his presence and the somewhat intelligible pathway. Overgrown and shadowed by time. One of which he could barely recall from his own history.

While walking, he paused as he swore he had heard something not too far from his current standing point.

I like to think this is how it went:

King Alfor: "We will make this core into five lions!"

Allura: "Great!.....What is a lion?"

[earthravenclaw]

Okay, so I'm not quite committed to this yet, but I'm thinking of writing VLD from Allura's pov. The first chapter would be a prologue (birth to cryo). While I do have a pretty good memory, the wiki is unfortunately shit, so if you guys have any important details you remember about Allura's childhood, her family, or Altea please share!!

(P. S. If you have any headcanons about those things, drop those too! But please clarify if something is not canon.)

[klancecuredmydepression]

(STAY WITH ME HERE) Ok, idk if this is already a headcannon yet or not, but here’s what I think: What if the mice…are actually the old paladins of Voltron. Like Alfor found their bodies and freezed them and/or put their souls into the mice?

(hate putting myself in these because stfu. but it was hilarious to me so.)

[alluraaaa]

in the rich tapestry of voltron backstories we were never given but i made up, coran has a wild and complicated backstory that is never explained ever. he has endless connections and if he weren’t the most chill motherfucker in existence he would’ve gone mad with greed and taken over the universe

he landed the job as royal advisor because he befriended alfor in their youth, before alfor became red paladin and also king (he married into royalty thru melenor). and alfor can’t do anything without asking if his boyfriend best friend can come with

[blanceyblance]

Not an allurance shipper but always an Allurance defender

But the one thing i can't defend is the writers insisting on the Lance/Alfor parallels specially since they knew (I presume) Allurance was endgame

What was the purpose of that? Why?

Maybe it was for Lauren's cursed idea of bringing Allura back as a baby and have Lance raise her but that honestly makes it like a hundred times worse

[onstar9]

Ok hear me out…

Coran and Alfor as Viktor and Jayce.

[sockdooe]

I got my very first Nintendo 3DS today, obviously I can’t do a lot on it but it’s awesome and I love it <333

[snackleggg]

Thinking about the Red & Black paladins and history repeating itself.

Thinking about how Alfor & Zarkon were best friends, like brothers, just like Keith & Shiro.

Thinking about the fight between Keith & Clone!Shiro and how it paralleled the battle between Alfor & Zarkon.

Thinking about how Clone!Shiro represented the terrifying what-if of Shiro being corrupted by quintessence like Zarkon had been.

Thinking about the pivotal role the Red Paladin holds, not only as the right hand to the Black Paladin but as the one responsible to step up and stop the Black Paladin if they were to ever veer off the right path & betray Voltron's mission.

Thinking about Keith (a half-Galra) becoming the Paladin of the Black Lion. Thinking about Lance (who gains Altean markings at the end of the show) becoming the Paladin of the Red Lion to be Keith's right hand.

Thinking about history repeating itself.

Thinking about how it didn't, barely.

rewatching Voltron again and crying during that one scene at the beginning of ep 11-Crystal Venom when Coran is fetching Allura and REFUSES to look at the Alfor hologram
