#prince Lotor cosplay

[klaissance]

nobody asked but here is my pitch for a princess and the pauper klance au

Princess Allura of Altea generally likes her life. She lives in a palace with her father, King Alfor, her quirky tutor and longtime friend Coran, and her lady-in-waiting Romelle who she definitely is not in love with. Don't worry about it.

Her being totally not in love with Romelle is something to not worry about at all because actually, as of fairly recently, Allura is engaged! To a man (ew) she's never met (double ew): Prince Keith of Marmora. Their matrimony is to solidify an alliance between Altea and Marmora which, if everyone's being honest, is mostly to haul Altea out of its recent troubles. The kingdom is floundering and its people have been suffering for too long; this alliance with Marmora offers a fresh start and a royal wedding promotes economic stimulation, etc etc politics politics

Allura loves her people and her father so she's gonna suck it up and do this. But she can't and won't be jazzed about it all the time. Sometimes she wishes she could be anyone but herself, with the freedom to make selfish choices.

Anyway down in the town there is this boy named Lance McClain and he just so happens to have a vaguely similar facial structure to Altea's princess (rip this has to be a blue-eyed Lance story to work, huh) and he works at the dress emporium under Monsieur Iverson who is, frankly, an abusive boss. But Iverson is funding Lance's sister's education. The McClains need this, and so Lance pricks his fingers and works every waking hour for pennies that he never even gets to see. Lance loves his family so he's gonna do it but he can't and won't be jazzed about it all the time. Sometimes he wishes he could be anyone but himself, with the freedom to make selfish choices.

do u feel me on this guys

also Allura has five cats named Onyx, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and Topaz and she loves them very much. But Sapphire has been acting strange recently...

Lance has this cat that he calls Blue that he doesn't actually have but she shows up night after night at his window and he feeds her and she lays on his lap while he works and he loves her very much

......it's the same cat *hold for applause*

anyway Romelle takes Allura into town to "run errands" or something but really it's just a date and one of Allura's last tastes of freedom before she gets hitched to whoever this Keith dude is

and Sapphire slips away and dashes through the streets and Allura chases her down and finds her perched on a windowsill in an alley being fed by a stranger who looks a little familiar and oh--

Lance and Allura finally meet and look at each other and are like woah we could definitely be siblings genetics are so weird

Bonded by their shared cat they get along splendidly and have a nice and surprisingly deep talk about their respective plights, and Allura promises to call on Lance soon

The next morning Coran and Romelle go to the princess only to find her bed empty save for a note that says she's taken the cats and run away...

The note is sus and then Sapphire shows up (from spending the night at Lance's.) Coran and Romelle know Allura would never leave just Sapphire behind, so they're immediately Not Buying It but they don't know who they can trust, and also this is a disaster because Prince Keith and his entourage are literally coming to visit today so they need to fix this asap

Romelle remembers the boy from the village who looked weirdly like Allura and she has the best/worst idea of all time...

Cue "To Be A Princess" as performed by Coran and Romelle at Lance, who by the end of the song is unclockable he's so good at princess cosplay

When "Allura" appears at dinner as scheduled, Alfor's advisor Zarkon and his shitty son Lotor are shook but they stay quiet

you guys lotor as preminger is so funny pLEASE

AND THEN KEITH SHOWS UP

Keith and his diplomat friends, The Holts, and his captain of the guard Shiro, pull up to dinner to meet Keith's future wife

Keith's a gay man he's not thrilled about this. She's certainly a handsome woman, if her portraits are to be believed, but there's nothing to be done about it. Lifelong bummer for Keith. Such is princedom.

So Keith and co. show up in Altea and they meet the princess and Keith swears she's a little broader in the shoulders and sharper in the jaw than he'd expected but chalks it up to shitty portraiture. He'll hire the court painter from Marmora when they're married.

Lance in his princess costume is like "oh lord he's fine" but then they go on a bunch of weird dates and mostly bicker a bunch because Keith hates that he's forced to be here and Lance is just sort of like that

meanwhile Allura's like busting her own ass out of the mines and lotor sings how can i refuse *hold for standing ovation*

and since Sapphire didn't get kidnapped with the other cats she's still around and Lance talks to her in the bath and is generally just being silly goofy and Keith happens to walk by and hear Lance talking in his normal tone to somebody named "Blue" and the door happens to be a little open and Keith happens to peek--he doesn't even know why he literally doesn't even like women--and wait just a fucking second that is a boy and a wig on the floor and Keith to himself is like 'um should i complain about being lied to, something wack is going on here' and then he's like 'wait I'm gay and he's hot let's see how this plays out' and says nothing LMAO

but then their little dates get way more interesting because Keith is trying to tease out this secret and also is like,, actually interested

maybe they do a horseback riding date where Lance gets to wear pants and have the big platinum wig tied back and he feels a little more like himself and he and Keith hardly even bicker anymore they just sort of have a great time together and Lance feels a little insane for this whole thing but he really likes him but he has to tell him the truth and he's literally about to admit it

but then Lotor comes back from checking on Allura in the mines and knows the princess at the palace is a fake so he calls Lance out and rips the wig off, the whole thing, and Lance is thrown in the dungeon when moments ago he was literally a hair's breadth away from kissing Keith on the mouth UGH life is so cruel

Lotor and Zarkon convince Alfor that Allura is dead and they plot to strike and stage their coup during her funeral or something idk

But meanwhile Romelle and Allura and the cats are power-lesbianing their way out of the mines, and meanwhile meanwhile Keith busts Lance out of jail and they go also to the mines to try to save Allura

just four gays and their cats standing at the mines like ok what now

they bust into the funeral proceedings and wreck Lotor's shit, Allura definitely throws him over her shoulder and skips him like a rock and they explain everything to Alfor

Lotor and Zarkon go to jail and Altea is saved even without the marriage alliance because Allura and Romelle found extra stores of quintessence locked in the geodes in the mines or whatever

Lance is now so thoroughly sponsored by not one but two royal families that his family will want for nothing ever again--his siblings are put on royal scholarship to any school of their choosing in either Altea or Marmora. Lance himself has always wanted to travel, so he does, and he writes letters to Keith the whole time and when he returns Keith is waiting for him and they do a big gay double wedding with Allura and Romelle just like in the Barbie movie <3

The con crunch was so real with the Lotor cosplay I made for my friend, and of course I just got a cheesy mediocre photo of us— I guess that's how it be sometimes

“underneath his uniform he wears foam rubber shoulder pads” *AFFRONTED GASP* i am SO happy with how these sleeves turned out omg. this is just basted in atm but will be sewn in properly after i finish the front stripes on the undershirt. i’m so proud that i was able to make this as seamless as possible (the blue is all one piece!!) and sewing all those angles without puckers was nooooot an easy feat.

"Christmas...? That old Earth festivity? Sounds like a waste of time..." Lotor would totally be a Christmas skeptic...it's ok, I'm sure once he learns more about the spirit of Christmas he'll come around...

REVIEW

These are the Flash UV Sclera Lens Amazo from @uniqso available for £55.52

Use code 'ZACHARY' for 10% off

Diameter: 22mm Base curve: 11mm Water content: 38% Lifespan: 6 months

These were shipped on 7th August and arrived on 24th. They also came with a free 22m lens case which is standard for scleras.

I got these for Lotor but I'll probably also use these for Galra!Keith! As you can see these lenses are incredibly vibrant! Unfortunately I can't show you what they look like under UV light BUT these actually glow in the dark which makes them perfect for Galra cosplay! I would definitely recommend these for an after-con party at a nightclub! I also like the fact that the yellow blends in fairly well with the rest of my natural scleras! In terms of comfort, these are not particularly comfortable to wear and they do take a while to get used to. I've been wearing scleras for a year and a half and I still had to wear these for an hour or so before they felt 'comfortable' enough for me to stop complaining about them to my friends! As always with scleras, you also have slight tunnel vision though these are actually not so bad. You tend to get tunnel vision with dark scleras but because these are light, it's not so noticeable. Putting them in might be a bit tricky the first few times but you'll get used to it! It took me 45 mins (yup, 45 mins) to put on ONE sclera the first time. Now it takes me about 3 secs! And they're SUPER easy to take off; because of the size, they're actually easier to pinch and take off than normal circle lenses! Thank you to @uniqso for sponsoring me with these lenses!

When your plan to defeat Voltron fails ~So I realised I’ve been really bad at updating on here, so I’m coming back with my Lotor cosplay

[holygrailcosplay]

Yo so these were all last year but shout out to the time I got my Lotor cosplay together in time for my work's Halloween 2019 contest (and won! I got a giftcard :D) and AJ noticed me on Twitter! Also some pics of Holiday Matauri later in December when I wore him again.

I was nervous to post these, because I was/am insecure about my weight and especially so in cosplay, but I felt so happy in Lotor in a way I can't really replicate anywhere else. I wanna finish my work on this wig and finish up the pieces I haven't finished modifying, like the boots. (I ended up buying this cosplay on Amazon and then modifying it--I am not quite skilled enough and the version I was trying to hand make fell through but I learned a lot!) I'm so happy I got to be my space prince. He deserved way more than that narrative gave him.

[nooby-banana]

lotor progress!! i finished his belt and butt cape this weekend and am SO pleased with it. let me know if you want details about the construction, i’m happy to share!
