#shiro is not having a good time bro

voltron paladins and my personal takes on their diplomatic skills

Lance: Season 1 & 2 Lance? Terrible diplomatic. I feel like early show Lance just blurts out whatever he thinks is funny which...a lot of people/aliens might not. Definitely offends some planets with his jokes and flirting. However, I think Lance grows into a good diplomat.

Keith: It's a toss up. He's quiet during diplomatic events, so he doesn't have the chance to say anything offensive. However, his silence can be taken as either seriousness/attentiveness or rudeness/standoff-ish. It depends on the culture of the planet.

Pidge: She's a good diplomat on planets that respect science. Because that means they respect her and will talk to her about things she's interested in. On other planets, she's the same as Keith.

Hunk: I think he's the best diplomat so far. Hunk is a good listener and he's empathetic. He's skilled as an engineer (science), a voltron pilot (fighting), and cooking (culture), which gives him a wide base of things to discuss with others. I think his empathy would truly resonate with planets affected by the war.

Shiro: Is a good diplomat, not because of natural traits, but because he acknowledges diplomatic missions as a part of his full time job as paladin. He's constantly clocked in at work. Everytime he's at a meeting he gets possessed by a broke student working a 9-5 who desperately doesn't want to get fired. This man will definitely hate fake pleasantries and meetings but he will suffer through them.

Allura: Has all the skills to be a good diplomat. Is generally a good diplomat. However, I feel like she'd be the most likely to get offended by a dignitary as the war is very, very personal to her. Some bozo would make a comment about Altea's downfall and she'd be fighting for her life not to deck them. She generally has restraint.

Coran: Thinks he's an extraordinary diplomat. In reality, he is simply a good diplomat. He can talk well and captivate an audience but bro has no TMI. His guests will go from "HAHAHA" to "oh..." within seconds of a story. His passion wins people over.

Big ass collection of my favorite phos and cairngorm moments throughout HNK

oof...

silly!! i think their relationship and banter is highly underrated

guh i love phos and cairngorm and i love how phos goes through sooo many changes tghroughout their time with gormie and for once has a stable partner who doesnt like die immediately cough

at the same time i know cairngorms annoyance(idk a good word) at phos constantly getting themsleves hurt is played off as humorous but i think cairngorm is genuienly upset

THIS is so random and realy funny WHY are they stnading like that

i really wish we got to see more of cairngorm with lapis lazuli

cairngorm has said "what are you even on about" twice so thats 2 nickels

this is the arc where we get into my favorite cairngorm and phos designs. moon phos and normal cairngorm idk they are so fun to draw

Cairngorm sleeps with shiro plushies which is so cute. Also the fact that they wouldn't have gone to the moon if not for phos like NEEDING to rely on gormie for so much and literally begging them to go, they might not have... um. encountered aechmea and yk what happens GUH PHOS ! !

SO BASICALLY phos got cairngorm to go with them. They explicitly said they dont want to. bro i guess phos eventually convinved them. or maybe it was because of ghost. or maybe lapis. I find it interesting that cairngorm was so devoted to listening to their "ghost" and protecting phos but then when lapis comes in they are more focused on lapis? and also more tired?

And then... the moon and thats basically it for their interactions that i LIKE after that. but yea, defintiley my favorite phos relationship

there is ONE flashback cairngorm has on the moon:

its kinda just sad tho i keep forgetting this exists because u can see in their water relfection, ghost standing behind cairngorm

Watching Voltron for the 1st Time: S8 Ep 1-2

I CAN SEE THE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL. I am so close to being free of this fuckass show. I am. Almost. ALMOST. Free. Guys I'm so excited to be done. Tell me what to do after. To those finding this in the wild, here's the tragic backstory, or in short a kid I tutor recommended it, I started it, she was really happy I did that, and then I got far enough into it to become a shining example of the sunk cost fallacy. I put together lists of what I like and don't like and then I ramble. I cannot wait to Be Free.

Approved

Opening on better funnier more whimsical 80s Voltron clip made me smile I fear. I MISS YOU OLD VOLTRON

Pidge is grounded LMFAO. Also Mother Holt is wonderful.

This is the love letter to Neil Ross' Pidge I've always needed (hilariously he also voiced 80s Keith)

This is not a good thing but it made me CACKLE to realize so I'm putting it here: how does Admiral Sanda have a first and last name but our LITERAL MAIN CHARACTERS do not bro Lance and Keith and Hunk do they have any last name????? Lmfao

I still love the druid bird masks and fits on the whole.

Archivist fit still balls even as he dies

I can't Lotor is so "Please Sir May I Have Some More" I'm wheezing

"This creature pleases me. It will be mine"

I do still love the trans rights + bisexual color palette in Oriande it is fr very pretty

Never Been My Thing, Not Into It, Not Approved By Me

Guys I'm so serious since I'm reminded of OG Lance from 80s Voltron, I'm distraught. This Lance is so. He's so sad and limp and unfun. 80s Lance was so full of life comparatively

Your honor, I hate these military meeting exposition dumps

Idk why it is that Allura's hair looks grey. I don't approve of it.

Bro they literally leave Shiro with like. NO FRIENDS. NO FAMILY. NO BITCHY EX BOYFRIEND EVEN??? He's like "spend time with your loved ones" WHO IS HE SPENDING TIME WITH??? IS HE JUST ALONE?? FREE HIM

Lance has truly been rendered nothing it's honestly a tragedy on the highest order that we cannot have a romantic relationship happen without both parties being made obscenely disgustingly flat

KEITH IS ALSO FUCKING ALONE????? SPEND TIME WITH YOUR LOVED ONES MY ASS THIS JUST SHOWS HOW THESE CHARACTERS HAVE LITERALLY NOTHING OMFG WRITERS YOU HAD ONE JOB IN THIS EPISODE

The animation in this episode looks a lil busted compared to the usual high quality. Lots of still frames and oddly off model moments

VERONICA NOOOOO DO NOT FUCKIGN GO FOR KEITH PLEASE GIVE ME ONE CHANCE I'M BEGGING

"Now here on earth I see everyone has a home to return to" BUT THEY DON'T DO THEY??? THIS SHOW UNDERCUTS ITS OWN BULLSHIT SO MUCH

I can't w this romance man they've been wanting for it to happen since DAY ONE OF THE SHOW and they've fumbled it so hard bro I can't. THEY COULD'VE MADE THIS WORK IN SOME WORLD. THEY HAD 7 SEASONS BEFORE THIS TO SET THIS UP RIGHT

I still hate Shiro's Sendak-ass arm

LOTOR IS A FUCKING COMBINED NAME??? A HISTORICAL FIGURE SHIP NAME????? JAIL. JAIL JAIL JAIL. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE THING TO TELL ME

This show really doesn't have a clear view of what they want to do for their metaphors. It's really glaring with the Honerva/Haggar of it all. It all getting so mixed up is... particularly fraught. I could go into this in greater depth and have in part before but I think that a lot of it seems unintentional. It's just. Very clearly needing MUCH MORE editing and drafting

This show keeps. Not understanding what it's trying to say. Again, Honervaggar goes on about how evil is intrinsic and you would think that that's okay for her (villain) to believe but for the show to go on to show the meaning of redemption, but THE SHOW ITSELF REINFORCES THAT W THE DAMN QUINTESSENCE POISONING AND SHIT

Many mixed metaphors here metaphors so mixed I don't even know where to begin unpicking them fr

I really don't think we needed all this point by point step by step planning. It's not the information we need within this episode

Also guys Lotor is a GOOD colonizer see he colonizes by finding collaborators, SOME colonization is good! Zarkon just Did It Wrong! Istg I KNOW this probably wasn't what they wanted BUT IT'S WHAT THEY'VE FUCKING SAID. BY ACCEPTING THE EMPIRE YOU ACCEPT COLONIALISM AS A NEUTRAL ACT. THAT IS. WOOF. WOOF BRO.

Yeah not a lot good to say here chief. Not a whole lot good at all. I think that Lance and Allura being fumbled so hard when that is an endgame pairing you could tell they wanted to set up FROM EPISODE ONE is truly something else entirely. I also think. It's so fucking awkward for the show to be like "Be with the ones you love" and then. Cool, Pidge is hanging w her mom and friends, we uh. Barely see Hunk but at least he's got his family w him finally. Lance and Allura go Meet The Parents (Lance's upgrade to the adult table was a detail I liked). We're missing two paladins here bro. Two of the main characters in this damn show. One of em is just off alone, and then. THEY PUT BABY IN THE CORNER. THEY LEFT BABYGIRL OUT. WHERE IS SHIRO???

Like. They really had nothing for Shiro. They said "you get crumbs and a Sendak arm" free my girl.

Anyway I think the Launch Date episode had inklings of something fun and cute, they just. CANNOT manage to characterize Allura and Lance in a way that keeps both of their established personalities. Lance should get to have levity! Him losing his humor isn't maturing if he's not shown to put any work in for it! And Allura really loses a lot of her authority and confidence as the show progresses but the show never actually delves into that in a way that could be interesting!

Had Allura as a character started out OVERconfident, arrogant even a little (and she's a princess she's got the reason to be!) and then gotten narratively humbled and THEN she can start to appreciate Lance for who he is as he also has to gain more security in himself, THAT would be compelling to me! But they never really establish Allura as being flawed! And that could be okay too, we need some paragons, but because she's NOT flawed she doesn't have anything to grow to, so they've shrunk her down. They've flattened her out, they've failed her.

I just. Idk. She feels so.... shriveled up as a character. Same with Lance!

I will get to the colonialism of it all at a later point I'm going to hold off on it until I get a full picture of the plot and wtf they're even thinking atp because though the tropes are powerful these writers are also not competent enough even to stick to em when it'd work so. I'll wait.

So here we are, start of the very last season of the show. Lance and Allura are husks of their former selves, Hunk is... not here, Pidge is grounded, and Keith and Shiro don't exist. YEEEEEEEEEEHAW I LOVE A SHOW WITH 6 MAIN CHARACTERS I LOVE AN ENSEMBLE CAST WE'RE REALLY MAKING THIS FOUND FAMILY BE FOUND IN OUR MINDS AND OUR MINDS ALONE BC IT SURE AS HELL AIN'T IN THE TEXT

PS if you are not fully getting what I'm saying in here wrt anything, if you want clarification as to what I think about something specifically, you can ask! All I ask is that you do that before assuming you know what I mean. I'm human, this isn't my first language, and I'm not editing these very heavily. Just ask me what I mean and I'll clarify! Or at a minimum, don't assume the worst possible interpretation please :) I don't know you guys and you don't know me. Let's keep it friendly and reasonable on here champ.

Chapter 2 - We should do this more often.

Part 2 of the Agency Tour!

Summary: Izuku shows Y/N the CCTV room. And his office… well, mostly his sofa, because it’s really hard to see when Izuku is crushing you into the pillows.

That sounds so much more suggestive than it is, sorry for the clickbait.

Warnings: Swear words, suggestive (!), Kirishima makes a sex joke. 16 +? Maybe?

First Chapter Master List

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

“Are you ready for the CCTV room?” Izuku squeezes your hand in front of a massive door. “It’s also connected to the commander room which is the busiest room in the whole building and the people working in this area are a little bit quirky. Kacchan thinks they are all weirdos, but they are really nice if you give them a chance.” He smiles at you, but you can’t miss the worry in his beautiful eyes.

“I’ll be fine. Let’s go!” You nudge the man and he opens the door…

“Oi, why is that guy standing there?!” A guy with black hair and dog ears peeking up in excitement points at one of the CCTV screens angrily. “He’s sus!”

“Bro, he has a date.” A red haired, nerd-looking guy looks up from his cup noodles, still slurping. Someone tells him off for talking with food in his mouth but he ignores it.

“How do you know that?” The black haired guy mutters, still angry. His ears flap down from the lack of excitement, clearly uninterested. He reminds you of Katsuki.

“He’s been doing that a lot lately, same woman, same meeting point.” The red haired guy answers with food in his mouth. You can barely conceal the smile; they have no idea the boss is in the room, they are so involved in their gossip.

“I hope he doesn’t cheat on this one, the lady looks cute.” A quirky looking girl adds with a sigh.

“He cheated?!” The guy’s ears point towards the ceiling again with a little wiggle. The cute ear-thing he’s doing absolutely clashes with his grumpy behavior but somehow, it’s also kinda adorable.

Izuku cleans his throat loudly to get some attention; the nerd guy almost drops his cup noodles, the black haired guy can’t help himself and laughs at him, clearly enjoying the drama.

“Can you fire these two? I honestly can’t do my job with them in the building.” And older, grumpy looking woman looks up from her laptop. She’s wearing a massive headset, but apparently, it’s not enough to suppress their daily bickering.

“I’m quite sure you were supposed to retire 10 years ago.” The quirky girl retorts and makes the angry guy laugh.

“Yo, who’s that.” The angry guy’s eyes lock with the screen again, judging a random bystander standing by the station entrance. He clicks on the screen a few times, checks the details; Mahito Shiro, 23, student, quirk: shrinking, birth date 2000.06.14 No police data available Threat-level: none “Nevermind, just another rando. Dammit. FUCK’S SAKE I’M BORED!”

“Oh my god, Toshi, shut the fuck up!” Someone yells from another room.

“Uhm, can I show my… Y/N around?” Izuku mutters; the whole room gawks at you with questioning eyes, analyzing you like you are one of the randos on the TV screen. Their gaze locks on your entwined fingers; fuck, you forgot to let go!; and there’s an absolute silence in the room until the black haired guy speaks up.

“So, who’s that?!”

“Oh my god, Toshi.” The quirky girl laughs again; apparently the sole existence of this angry man is enough for her to have a good day. Damn, you can relate. “That’s his roommate.”

“Is he cheating on his Sweet Pea?! I can’t believe the fucker. I thought he’s head over heels for that chick.” The Hitoshi guy gives the boss a disappointed glare.

“Can you not talk about my obvious pining right in front of the girl I am pining for?” Deku yells, extremely embarrassed; his cheeks are tinted pink and he’s squinting his eyes shut, hoping to be swallowed by a ground.

You don’t really know what to think right now; were you the only person in the whole wide world who didn’t know about Deku’s feelings?! Really?!

“That’s Sweet Pea, Tosh.” The quirky girl translates and the grumpy guy perks up, ears up and wiggling excitedly as he takes in the view in front of him.

“Exciting.” There is a weird noise coming from the back of the man; you try to look behind him and it doesn’t take you long to notice the massive, fluffy, black tail wiggling back and forth. So that’s why his chair clashes with the rest of the furniture; it was especially made for him to have space for his tail. That’s sweet.

“So this is the CCTV room.” Izuku yelps, his voice and octave higher than usual. “We have thirty screens in this room plus every person has their own set with ten screens that they keep an eye on. We have access to all the cctv footages in Japan that are not owned by a person, so cameras set up by the government, shops, banks, venues and the list goes on.” He continues to mutter. “Our security system has a built in information center thanks to our perpetual work with the police; if you click on a person, his face runs through the police information system and we can get their basic info without the need to get a clearance.” Deku puts his hands on your back and pushes you forward to take a better look; he clicks at a random person on the street and zooms in; the camera is crystal clear even after the zoom and the system starts to analyze the footage right away; the person’s name, age, quirk, area of residence comes up in the far corner of the footage; it also states that the person isn’t dangerous or under any suspicion at this moment.

“That’s really cool!” Your eyes shine with pure wonder as you look at the details.

“Well, it’s cool but it has its flaws.” Toshi speaks up from behind you. “Some stupid countries didn’t give us clearance to use their data so with a lot of foreigners, we actually need to go through the clearance process and it’s only granted if we have a strong reason to suspect the individual.” He grumbles under his nose, personally offended by this shenanigan.

“He’s just grumpy because he found his doppelgänger once and his info-request denied.” The older lady adds, smiling cheekily.

“The audacity of ‘em! He might be my secret twin brother!” Toshi retorts angrily. Izuku smiles under his nose.

“The right side of the office is in charge for the CCTV footage, the left side is charge for listening to the police radio in case there is an incident where we might be needed. The door on the left side is where the emergency call team is, but I won’t show you that room as it’s literally just people taking phone calls every five seconds and distributing the task to a hero with the most suitable quirk. They also have their own computer system that knows the current heroes on the call, their quirks and strengths.”

“Fucking hell, you guys are high-tech.” You mumble, bamboozled. Your mind is fried thanks to all the information you tried to take in; you would kill for a cup of water and some sugar right now; skipping breakfast was a terrible idea. You stroke your forehead, trying your best to soothe your aching head and Izuku pales right away.

“Oh my god, you haven’t had breakfast, I’m so sorry, Sweet Pea! Let’s go to my office, I have some food in there.” Izuku ushers you out of the room, not even letting you say a proper goodbye.

Running after Deku is a fucking challenge; his long, muscly legs gives him a super speed even without the use of his quirk so needless to say, you definitely look like an absolute idiot as you stumble all over behind him, out of breath already. Thankfully, his office isn’t too far away from the communication room; you are seated on a sofa now with a fancy cup noodle in your hands. You can’t help but smile when you see Deku’s pretty face looking back at you from the cup.

You always make sure not to buy this specific cup noodle; you literally can’t put Deku’s handsome face into the trash when you finish the meal. No fucking way.

“Can I keep the packaging?” You ask with a happy voice after you finished; the noodles warmed your soul and heart and you can feel your brain coming back to life now that you filled your stomach with the tasty junk food.

“Hey, isn’t the real thing good enough for you?” Izuku asks, offended. You absolutely love when Izuku gets jealous. It’s the prettiest sight in the whole world.

“Why would I choose if I can have both?” You stroke Deku’s face on the packaging just to irk the hero even more; Izuku’s eyes darken at the sight, possessiveness overtaking him for a second; he takes a deep breath and plops down next to you with the biggest puppy eyes ever. Let’s be honest, puppy eyes and Deku are basically the same thing anyway so he doesn’t need to try too hard for your heart to melt completely from the beauty of it.

“I kinda want to keep you for myself.” His fingers travel up your arms, leaving goosebumps all over your skin in their trail. “I know, I’m selfish, but it’s your fault for telling me to put myself first. Take responsibility.” Izuku giggles, then gets all emotional in a matter of seconds. “Y/N, I’m so happy you’re here I could cry.” Izuku’s eyes are full of unshed tears, but they also shine with happiness; it’s such an Izuku thing, crying over the silliest things, like being too happy, being too content or seeing a puppy on the street; he might be big and bulky now but when he’s happy he’s still that lanky nerd from middle school. He might be able to crush a person’s skull with a snap of his fingers, but deep inside he’s just a soft, dreamy guy begging for a motherly hug. Izuku is precious, so fucking precious it actually hurts your soul. “Going home always felt like a dream, but every time I left my the house it felt like it was just that… a beautiful dream I woke up from, a vision I created to soothe my lonely soul. But seeing you here, in my second home… it all comes together now, Sweet Pea.” Deku smiles, tears trailing down his face. “You are real. You are not just my imagination. I can’t believe it took me so long to realize that. I’m so happy right now.” Deku giggles but he chokes on his tears; his head hides in the crook of your neck and here he is, little nerdy Izuku crying into your neck, where he feels safe and content; that spot is his happy place, his saving grace after a long, dangerous day.

“Izu-Izu….” You mutter, your voice almost silent. “How did I deserve you? I’ll never understand.”

“I’ll make you understand then.” Izuku looks deep into your eyes. The butterflies in your belly don’t feel like butterflies anymore, but more like flesh-eating piranhas. That’s probably the least romantic comparison in the whole world but it’s the truth. “And if it doesn’t work I’ll kiss you until you forget about your silly insecurities. I’ll kiss them all away.” Izuku leaves tiny kisses all over your neck and collarbone; wherever he sees skin he kisses the area, lips moving slowly as though he’s trying to remember every single bump and crevice.

“Sounds good to me.” You cup his face with your right hand, pulling him up to you, slowly leaning closer to the man’s shiny lips. Izuku looks down, wanting and hungry; he wavers for a moment, probably calculating the chances of being interrupted, but it doesn’t take him long to find his way to you. The kiss is slow and languid, his mouth careful and attentive; it’s not what you expected after the all the tension brewing between you two but you can’t really complain; then black whip shoots out of Izuku’s right hand, right towards the office door, and the lock clicks.

Izuku looks at you like he’s waiting for an answer; to what, you have no idea but apparently your passionate gaze was enough of an answer on it’s own; Izuku rushes back to your lips, the kiss wet and heavy now. A tiny yelp leaves your mouth as your back collides with the sofa; Izuku is right on top, body flush against yours but still careful to not put too much weight on you. Your hands find their way into Izuku’s untamable curls, nails scratching his scalp as Izuku’s tongue licks into your mouth; you can’t help but whimper when Izuku starts to move his tongue, slow but passionate, the motion full of restraint.

“How do you even make these noises.” Izuku’s voice is octave higher than usual, clearly struggling to hold himself back. “Please, tell me to stop. End my suffering.” He says between kisses, his body getting heavier and heavier on top of you; you can feel every single one of his muscles and some other things as well; the thought of Izuku wanting you so much makes you whimper again, pulling the greenette even closer until your mouths clash again, the action hot and heavy. “I want to drink your voice, Sweet Pea.”

For some reason that sentence went straight down to your… well… you know where.

“Izu.” You sigh, two seconds away from combusting.

You are in Izuku’s office, goddamit, what the heck are you two doing?!

“I love you.” Izuku says while his hand finds its way under your shirt. You can’t help but whimper again, your body pushing up into his hand for more. Izuku looks five seconds from losing his mind. “Okay, let’s calm down.” Izuku takes a deep breath, his hand clasping your side to ground himself. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to attack you like this.” Izuku is completely out of breath, lips red and slick from all the kissing. Jesus, he looks absolutely stunning. “I don’t want to rush this. I’m so…”

“Say sorry again and I swear to god I’ll do something really stupid, Izu.” You pant into his neck; his smell is so intoxicating in your current state you can barely hold yourself back from biting into the skin to taste it.

“Roger that.” Izuku’s forehead connects with yours, his breath fanning your face. Needless to say that also doesn’t help your current situation at all. He stays in this position for at least a minute, taking deep breaths and letting them out, slowly moving his arms behind your back to pull you close. He goes back to his favorite place, leaving tiny kisses in the crook of your neck, finally calming down. “We should do this more often.”

You can’t help but laugh at that.

“Wow, so smooth, Izuku.”

“Shut up!” He whines, face pink from embarrassment.

“I love you too, by the way.” You sigh, hugging the hero back. He’s a little bit heavy, but you have no heart to tell him he’s crushing you right now; the feeling is weirdly pleasant.

Izuku only murmurs, clearly content to stay in this position and enjoy the solitude for a bit; several minutes pass in peaceful silence before someone bangs on the wall, the sound coming from the other side. Both of you jump up from the sudden noise, still half asleep in each other’s arms.

“Oi, nerd! You there?” Katsuki’s voice fills the office, but Katsuki is nowhere to be seen.

“Yeah, we were about to come over!” Deku yells back with a blushed face. He stands up and gives you a hand, pulling you towards one of the bookshelves in his office; you moan about not being able to look around but Izuku is on a mission; he moves some of the books on his shelf, ruining the order completely then turns his Bakugou figurine around which stands next to a Deku one to face the other way. Something clicks and the shelf opens to another room; Katsuki sits at a massive black desk, sorting out paperwork, his glasses hanging low on his nose. You don’t really have the time or mental energy to actually understand what the fuck just happened, because Katsuki looks up, then gawks at the two of you, his glasses falling off his nose and landing on his desk with a loud thump.

“Have you even looked in a fucking mirror before barging in here, you two idiots?” Katsuki yells, his face red as a tomato. “The fuck were you doing in your office, huh?!” Katsuki retorts angrily. “This is a workplace, Goddammit!”

Kirishima appears at the sound of Katsuki’s yelling and freezes as the door; he looks at you two with an amused gaze then starts laughing like a maniac.

“Oh my god, I can’t believe Zuku was the first one to have a heated make out session in this building! You dawg, good for you, man!” He giggles as he makes his way towards Katsuki to put his hand on his shoulders in an attempt to soothe the angry blonde. “Don’t worry, Tsuki, you can still be the first one to have sex in the office. It’s an easy fix, I’m just saying.” Kirishima winks and Bakugou finally reaches his limit, hands sparking from the anger or the embarrassment, you are not really sure.

“I fucking hate all of you.” Katsuki’s head drops on the desk with a loud, painful bang. You swear there is steam coming out of his red ears.

Well, you guess you don’t need to tell these two the good news, then.

… Next Chapter!

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

Potato ramble:

- I know, I has been another 9000 years but I’m glad I didn’t rush this because this is my new fav chapter; I mean, the gag? The feels? That Toshi guy?

- I hope you enjoyed the sofa part! I think I don’t need to tell you how hard it was for Deku to stop there. Fun fact; that part wasn’t planned at all, it was all Izuku’s doing. This chapter was supposed be about the CCTV room and reader looking around Izuku’s office, but I guess she’ll have to come back to take a proper look, oh well.

- There will be more details about the secret entrance in the next chapter, so if you have questions, you can ask but it might get answered in the next one. (But I’m still more than happy to answer them now!)

- I hope you guys are having a great day! There is a massive storm coming towards my city and I live next to the sea so let’s all pray I’m not gonna get blown away with my 45 kilos like the last time. If you think that shit only happens in the movies, that’s false. I will never forget how I ended up clutching a random ass pole at 7AM for 10 minutes because my stupid ass didn’t know you can’t walk on the seaside during a wind storm. It’s delightful to be a foreigner sometimes.

aira is a little silly fellow he dresses nicely (very inspired by fs2 but i cant stop looking at it and thinking damn he french colored......) and loves magic so much he admires all the grand mages and everyone in the upper echelons and loves watching other people cast spells and such unfortunately for him while he has a decently high innate talent, his control is God Awful which results in magic never going well for him- with no control at all, literally negative control, he can try to cast one spell and something completely different will be cast instead- and the skill level varies too it's literally just a roll of a dice for him if he tries to cast a simple flame spell he might end up flooding the room with a wall of water, it's that bad kkshfkj also he acts like he doesn't like it but he actually loves rabuhan-junior so much he secretly spoils the hamster named after him and rabuhan junior loves him back rabuhan-junior likes to sleep in his hat or on aira's head whenever kohaku goes out and leaves rabu-han junior with aira tatsun has very normal clothes bro dresses like a dad (did you know both of his fs have the same color palettes i didnt but using them as reference made me realize, anyways-) his clothes are very comfortable and easy to move around in, especially given his injury from [spoiler event here ]. he also has a cane and his injured leg has pain suppressor sigils and bandages wrapped all over it his leg isn't completely unusable like its not broken or anything its more like. a kind of necrosis like if you unwrapped it there would be a dark mark thats like icky and sometimes it flares up and hurts tatsun so much that he falls over and :( he found the cane one day in the catacomb (wonder who put it there) he added the begonia himself as a reminder of his sin... shiro is his little mouse familiar that he conjured with the help of kaname! she's a sweet little thing, often found sleeping on an open book on tatsumi's desk. she has the tatsumi-colored ears and legs because she was conjured up rather than a pact familiar. regarding magic tatsun is pretty average on both control and power, but that doesnt really matter because most of the spells he uses are passive spells more used for healing/doing work. he likes to garden and has a beautiful garden of all kinds of flowers at the chapel :) he just doesn't dare touch the flowers in the catacomb, because he knows someone else already takes care of those also that purple gem hanging around his neck is a gift from mayomayo it doesn't do anything and has no magic but tatsun still likes it :) mayomayo dresses in all dark colors because he believes that if he always dresses in dark colors no one will ever have to be bothered by seeing his existence he comes from a lineage that practices forbidden magic, not necessarily all dark but some of the more ... interesting spells . something happens in his past and he ends up leaving, taking with him his tome and well. proceeding to get chased by all kinds of monsters out in the wild because for some reason he just attracts all kinds of beasts poor guy magic-wise he does have the forbidden magic from his family but he more specializes in healing and curse removal- he doesn't dare do anything else for fear of (redacted). besides, maybe he'll one day be able to actually save somebody instead of hurting them, maybe his existence would be worth it some day. the ribbon in his hair (the green/teal one) is from tatsun :) he said mayo would look good in brighter colors and mayo disagreed so tatsun gave it to him and now its become part of his outfit and (i combust into a thousand bits ) also because of that mayo feels like he has to give tatsun something back so thats why he gives tatsumi a purple gem he had that used to hang from his spell tome anyways i still love this au very much and i hope you enjoyed now i will proceed to forget about it again /j i still really wanna write kohaku's fic and then maybe one last one for rinne-kun or smth because aghghj there's still so much that's not developed yet but (explodes)

SMASH OR PASS | ASHLEY HAWKE EDITION ✧˖°.

Very funny to being doing this with the OC my friends lovingly call "Smashley Motherfuckin' Hawke, Ladies and Gentlemen; First of Her Name".

QUICK FACTS:

Height: 6.5 (she is on par with male Highlanders!)

Age: Early/Mid thirties.

Gender: ???

Sexuality: !!!

Pronouns: Yes. (Will respond to anything, primary defaults to she/her).

Pros:

She is a working woman with a very successful career! She's Lead Courier of Firelight Trading Company. She got the money to spoil you. 🪙

The embodiment of a Labrador: sweet, dumb, friendly and extremely loyal.

She just wants to make you happy.

Extremely social and in-tune with other peoples' emotions.

Probably a careers councillor in another life. She's good at sussing out what other people want, even if its in a round-about way.

She's a good cook!!

Cons:

She is dumb. She is sooooo dumb. You know that head tilt puppies do when you're talking to them and they have no idea what you're saying? This is Ashe to a T. She will make this motion. You will try to reiterate what you're saying or change your point so she understands you. She will not.

Her need to make people happy can come at a cost to your happiness.

She will not have a clue if you have a crush on her. She is 100% bro mode.

She is also 100% obsessed with her husband, Shiro.

DETAILS

Ashe is not someone you want to be with if you're going to be worried about her safety. She will get herself hurt on the daily; whether that is because of work, her love of brawling or the simple fact she can be a bit of a klutz. Her husband became a doctor for this very reason.

She has a big family full of numerous issues and she will drag herself into them because she just wants to help. Boundaries? Don't know 'em.

Ashe looooves touching. Cuddling, kissing, laying across the lap, etc. If you are smaller than her, she will probably carry you around like a toddler dragging a cat. If you like fighting — congratulations! Combat is also a love language. If you beat her, she will demand you teach her. She is only as competitive as it takes for her to better herself.

She's a switch! Though she tends to take on the more top/dominate role, if you switch up (ha) on her she'll literally look at you with the wow!!! emote.

There's some thoughts between those eyes, but they're certainly not academic. Ashe is street smart, combat versed and emotionally in-tune with others. She will pout at you if you're reading a book when she's around, though.

Ashe is the embodiment of wanderlust. She wants to go everywhere, see everything and do everything. If you're not interested in wandering, you will not have a good time.

Heyy can I get a Matt Holt x Shiros sister reader who’s like best friends with Pidge?? Thank you!!

This is such a specific request, plz IM OBSESSED PLZ this is too cute I can’t. Thank you again anon! I’m feeling so confident in my writing with all these requests I’ve been getting. AH Thank you all sm for being patient with meeeee 🥹❤️‍🔥 love y’all so much fr

I’m doin headcanons, hope that’s chill 🤷🏻

Ps: THIS IS SO LONG IM SORRYYYYY

Y’all for sure met through Shiro. Shiro introduced you to Matt and the rest of the Holt family long before they even knew they’d be going to Kerberos together.

Instantly, you and Pidge clicked, besties for the resties. You weren’t necessarily as smart as she was but you were always so curious and interested in what she was in to.

You and Pidge became really close considering you were only two years older than her. And because Matt and Pidge were always very close, y’all became the three amigos real fast.

Matt always enjoyed your company, he thought you were funny and kind and open minded. He liked you but he always felt like you were more of Pidge’s friend than his friend.

Only a couple months after meeting the Holts, Shiro noticed they were all you’d ever talk about. He also noticed how differently you spoke about each of the siblings.

When you talked about Pidge, it was like you were talking about a super hero, some cool cosmic thing that’s almost too hard to even explain.

But when you’d talk about Matt, big bro Shiro could tell you had a crush from the get go. When talking about him, you’d say his name a lot and you couldn’t even look at Shiro, a smile would poke at the corners of your lips and you’d look down at your lap awkwardly. And Shiro’s like 😏

Because of your close friendship with Pidge, you tried very hard to push your feelings down and just look at Matt as a friend. I mean he is your friend after all. Let’s just keep it that way.

When Shiro got the news of the Kerberos mission approval, you were the first person he told, just before he told Adam. And of course you were excited!!! Your big brother is going TO SPACE OMFGGGG

You def cried…a lot. And hugged him…a lot.

I have to mention…being Shiro’s sibling means being Keith’s sibling. You two are Keith’s chosen family for sure. So you were a big comfort to Keith upon hearing that Shiro would be gone for a while.

The next time you saw Matt, you were sure to congratulate him with an excited smile and a big hug. This was your first time hugging him and it was so nice, it was soft and innocent and warm. You couldn’t wait to do it again.

Matt, Sam and Shiro had many Kerberos meetings at the Holt family home and Shiro would always bring you along. The next several months before the mission were spent with Pidge as you both sneak around to eavesdrop and peak in on the Kerberos mission plans.

The day they left, you cried and hugged Shiro and Matt A LOT. You were a mess, an excited and proud mess tho.

Before he left, Matt told you to take care of his sister while he was gone and you promised him you’d look after her. He told you he was very relieved to know that you would keep Pidge company while he was away. And he knew Pidge would be good company to you while Shiro was gone.

When news of the failed mission came to you, you broke down, you were a mess. You were worried about your brother and your best friend’s brother. Poor Pidge has lost two family members. You couldn’t even imagine how Keith felt…and he disappeared soon after. You had lost both of your brothers in the same instance.

From that moment on, you followed Pidge everywhere and were her biggest supporter and protector. You had to keep your word to Matt to protect his sister and you also wanted to help Pidge in hopes of getting your own brother back.

When Pidge got into the garrison, you began visiting her almost every night. You’d slip through a broken part of the fence or carefully climb over the barbed wire at the top and meet her on the rooftop. You two had spent too many hours to count up there searching for a sign of Matt, Sam and Shiro.

Eventually, you found yourself watching Shiro crash land to Earth and you caught a glimpse of Keith running to save him. You couldn’t help but run in to help as well. Shiro would probably scold you two about putting yourselves in danger later but saving him was just too important.

It felt like you had closed your eyes for mere seconds and when you opened them again, you found yourself in the castle of lions with your brothers, best friend and a couple other garrison cadets. It all happened so fast, one moment you were helping bring Shiro back to Keith’s little hide away and the next you were watching everyone become paladins of voltron.

You didn’t even get the chance to cry or enjoy Shiro’s return, you were thrown straight into a galactic war.

Being the one person who wasn’t a Paladin, you found yourself helping Coran around the castle a lot and training to protect yourself in case you were ever thrown into battle. If you weren’t with Coran or in the training room with Keith, you were always by Pidge’s side. She was your best friend after all.

Often times, you went to Shiro for advice and to vent about your fears and worries and stress. He is so good to you, he always offers you the warmest hugs and gentle pats on the back and when you’re really upset, he’ll kiss your cheek and give you a big smile.

Other than that, you and Shiro often did your own things. You hung out with Pidge way more than you did with Shiro and he didn’t mind it. He was happy you had a best friend as wise and kind as Pidge. Lord knows you don’t have many other friends.

And there’s Matt…he was always a good friend to you. A fantastic friend even. And so in addition to always siding with Pidge and protecting her, you often ran off on your own to look for Matt and their father, Sam.

After many days of holding Pidge as she cried and crying along with her and staying up late to run tests on new tech and ruining mission plans just to go looking for Matt and Sam, Pidge had finally found her brother.

Once the siblings got back to the castle, you were the last to greet Matt. You sort of just stood behind everyone else to stare at him while he hugged Shiro and introduced himself to the others.

When he finally saw you, he looked shocked and excited all at the same time. “(Y/N)?” He said it as if he wasn’t sure if that was really you. You’d both changed a lot since you last saw each other.

Finally, you couldn’t hold back anymore. You ran to him, nearly pushing Shiro out of the way as you hugged him tightly. All he could do was laugh as he hugged you back.

“You look different.” “Yeah, ditto.” You can decide who said what.

Y’all are just so taken aback by seeing each other again under these strange circumstances and now things feel…different. You spent so long, tried so hard to help Pidge find him and now that he’s here, it feels like you know him inside and out. You’ve been picturing him in your mind for so long, wondering if he’s even alive and you’d cry at night thinking about him and you start to panic as you realize you’re still very much in love with him…you still have the same crush on him that you did years ago, when he wore glasses and had braces.

Although you’re happy and relieved to have Matt back, you give the Holt siblings some space for the first few days after his return. You know how close they are and it was very emotional for you when you and Keith rescued Shiro, you just want to give them some private sibling bonding time.

Immediately, they put a stop to that. They both so badly want you to be a part of everything they do. Pidge feels that she will forever be in debt to you for helping her, and Matt is also secretly in love with you is incredibly impressed that you made it all the way up here with the rest of the team and really appreciates that you stuck by his sibling this whole time. You kept your promise and that makes his heart explode ❤️‍🔥

After just a few weeks with Matt around, EVERYONE could begin to feel the tense vibes between you two. Like…y’all are really comfortable around each other and you are decent at pretending to be ‘just friends’ but there are certain times when Matt is just very obviously pining for you and the team can’t NOT notice, he’s just too dramatic for it to go unseen.

Pidge notices first and she’s like “Yep. I saw that one coming from a mile away.” Then she starts to whisper to the rest of the team about it and point it out more often just to embarrass Matt.

She’s terrible, she’ll literally blackmail Matt with threats of telling you how he really feels about you. And he’s like 😥 “Katie, please, no.”

After a couple days of blackmailing to get piggy back rides and get served food and drinks while she works, Pidge begins to actually talk to Matt about it more. She starts to become his little wingman, giving him tips about how to woo you and things she’s learned about you since he’s been gone.

One day, Matt decides to confess his feelings to your brother first. It was a bit awkward at first as Matt stuttered and blushed, but it quickly became a very comfortable and deep talk about how much they both admire you.

Suddenly, he gets a surge of confidence and asks Shiro’s permission to ask you to be his partner, considering that Shiro is one of his closest friends and also his hero. Of course Shiro approved. Y’all are too cute for him to say no. He ships it so hard already.

Matt comes barging into the lions’ hangar where you are assisting Pidge in adding some cool, new invention to her lion. He charges straight up to you with a very concerning look on his face. He’s bright red and breathing quickly and won’t look you in the eye which is very unlike him.

“Matt? What is it? You okay?” And he’s looking nervously back and forth between you and Pidge.

“Spit it out already, Romeo! We have work to do.” Pidge is lowkey grossed out rn. Y’all are cute but you’re her best friend and he’s her brother and she doesn’t want to see it up close like this.

“(Y/N), I think I love you…I-I uh…I’m sorry.” Matt’s so red and scared and stressed rn, omg plz tell this boy how you feel already.

“I love you too, Matt.” And instantly, he’s looking at you and he’s smiling.

He asks you very softly to be his partner and how can you refuse? You’ve been dreaming of this day for so long.

Because y’all are already close friends, the transition into a relationship is super easy. You still geek out together with Pidge and you still talk to each other the same, you just get to do cute couples shit too like cuddle in bed under the blankets and hold hands as you walk together and share quick kisses right in front of Pidge just to gross her out. It’s honestly hilarious.

[raddestrose]

Season 8 (final review)

I feel nothing towards this season, very empty filling and I didn't feel much for the ending. it really should've tried to do better with emotional strings.

pros:

I like how we got to see Good Zirkon

Past events

seeing the past palidans

a life Lotor could've gotten

BRO HUNK HAS AN EMPIRE!!

Cons:

some final endings should've been better

Honeerva didn't feel fitting for a final boss, she wasn't alluded to be one

the sacrifice didn't make me feel sorry for her, bitch killed millions of people and were supposed to be sorry for her??

The Altans shouldn't have had so many live, the point was Allura and Coran be the last ones. if you wanted to add more maybe put them in the beginning with the pods.

Allura poking around with dark magic felt uncharacteristic or her

ADAM SHOULD'VE BEEN THE ONE WITH SHIRO!!

Hunk looks buff in the end and i hate it

So, my final thoughts on the series are that so much was either underutilized or out of character. This series should've taken the time to at least add some filler in the beginning to flesh out the characters more. Allura's mother was never really brought up, Keith's father should've at least been named. Just so much was lost or never touched on. I hope one day if that ever happens that we'd get a reboot with better writing but all we can do is fanservice to make up what we lost.

“Don't forget, wherever we are, we are not alone"

[enden-agolor]

How are you and your boyfriend doing?

I just want you to know that you're amazing. You make my day and night with all of the homosexual cube males (and of course the homosexual cube females and the other cubes) and I hope you're doing better. I only want good luck to find you in the future. I know it's tough losing someone you love, I understand what it feels like. Just know that you can do this. I believe in you man! Keep up the amazing art and have a good day/night!

Hey there, and thanks so much for reaching out...

Before I get into how we are doing, I just wanted to say thank you for taking your time to say this. We really appreciate it, and I love so dearly that you enjoy my silly block art. I still have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around that, especially as of late, that people actually like it so much. I have trouble accepting so much praise, but jeez does it go a long way. So thank you. 🩷

As for how we are doing

We are okay. We now know the woman who did this, and we also have a lawyer too. Animal control was no help (no surprise there) so we are mostly relying on the lawyer for help us figure out what to do next.

Andy went back to the doctor recently to get his cast removed and reapplied. His thumb was looked at, and while the sight is... very unpleasant to look at, they say he's healing nicely. Looks like he'll be keeping his thumb. Yahoo!

We also got Shiro back. Bro is in a little brown box now. Our little minecraft brown brick. I've been through animal death more times than I'd like to admit, and I cannot go into detail about that here, nor will I ever in public probably, but I know with my experience that I will be okay. My main concern is Andy, because Shiro was his best friend. The trauma of the event is unholy, especially for him. I'm taking care of him the best I can through these tough times. Feed him, bathe him, take care of the house and animals. Definitely a Recovery moment (as he likes to call it 💀) In the end, Andy is very strong. The strongest person I know. He's tough and has a heart of pure gold. I know he'll be okay. Sudden loss is terrible and changes you as a person, but life must go on and I know we will be okay. We just have to live our lives in honor of our sweet little guy. It's what he'd want.

Everything Shiro taught us and we taught him will be carried along to a new friend in the future whenever we are ready for it, so in a sense, Shiro is still very much with us in the way he impacted our lives and will continue to do so in the future. Even if he is gone, he'll always be our baby boy and I know I'll see him again some day.

Yall know the drill!! Let’s get it baby!!

Watching Voltron: LD for the First Time and Saying What I Think

S1-2 | S3 | S4 | S5 | S6 | you are here! | S8

upon formatting this debrief/review, I realized quite quickly that I was gonna run out of the image limit too soon, no matter how many collages I made, so some ideas are better if you specifically remember scenes. Click on images for better quality! I apologize, I only have tumblr on mobile. please enjoy this edition anyway!

Pre-Season 7 Thoughts

-> I said in my S6 post that I thought it could be a decent ending if some strings were finally tied, so hopefully this season clears those up

-> S6 was pretty intense at the end, hopefully they tone it down a notch as they go on their little earth roadtrip

-> the aftermath of Lotor dying is definitely something that will weigh on Allura. Hopefully she doesn’t get too torn up about it

-> I’m really curious as to how the new team dynamics will play out now that Kieth is back as black paladin. Will they go back to s1? s3? Will they just act like nothing??

-> really wanna scene where keith calls krolia mom for the first time

-> what is with this “game show” episode??

-> I’m curious as to how ships will play out now.. Lance seems to be okay with Allura not liking him back after s6, their talk was really nice. As much as I think they look cute together, Allura needs time to get over Lotor first, and Lance seems to be already moving on.

-> now that Kieth is back, I wonder if there was more “klance moments” for people to go crazy over

->also where has Matt been this whole time??

-> them going to earth will probably explore their families, and i really wanna see more of their lore. (Especially keith)

->Hopefully shiro finally gets a break after everything. I’m excited to see who this love interest of his is!!

Post-Season 7

-> holy fuck. yall did not lie. that was…intense.

->ultimately I did not get my pre-s7 wish then.

-> I really liked all the keith/shiro lore about their relationship. It was really sweet. Shiro was the first person (besides his dad I guess) to show him patience and kindness. That’s so heartwarming.

->added to all the motifs and references to them saving each other,,very sweet. I love found family stuff like that. so i very much liked that episode (besides the “tiny” subplot lolz)

-> Romelle (as opposed to the name I gave her: “sailor moon altean girl”) is actually so real. She and hunk have the same “only normal one” vibe and i respect that.

-> literally where was haggar/honerva this whole time. Did she take a sabbatical or something??

->this image is so chaotic…literally what are yall doing 😭

->cosmic wolf (Kosmo, apparently) dgaf I love him

-> Allura is such a cutie.. “but I’m terrible at drawing! 😔” I love her so much

->^hunk upgraded his bayard!! Yayyyyy! More character development!!!

->Axca is back! (I have since long stopped calling her “space asami girl”)

-> i think she’s a really interesting character. While the other of Lotor’s generals go for whatever seems right for them, (as you should in war) she seems to calculate things on a matter of both that and morality, while also looking at the big picture. “Well, this would save my ass, save the universe from chaos, and be morally intact…sounds good”

->^is this the klance moment? seems a little sad tbh. why Lance is like that “wait where are you going?” relax bro he’s not gonna disappear

-> they’ve been gone FOR THREE YEARS????

-> what the FREAK.

-> imagine now how their families have missed them 🙁 I’m actually so sad abt that ☹️

->the game show ep…was really funny. Idk where yall got all this angst from. New mission: write a fluff one shot post-game show.

->^i literally cannot get over this??? Like.. they could’ve really made him say anything else. “because mullet here would punch you to the end of eternity if he didn’t get out *smirk*” or something like that but no it /had/ to be that. And the others thought it was odd too, I mean look at their expressions.

->And same goes for Keith??? If you don’t wanna spend an eternity with Lance just pick yourself?? There had to be another reason. If they made all the other characters say insightful and heartfelt things about one another, why can’t Keith say anything?

-> I think because keith and Lance chose each other, making both of them say nice things would drive you guys a little crazy, so I think they tried to just “klance-proof” (like baby-proof) this season by making them barely interact unless it’s a battle or doing so in a s1/2 way

->Because otherwise keith acted…really out of character..? I think it might be to his growth on the quantum abyss trip, but it just felt so odd to watch him this season

->the “floating in space” episode was actually super interesting to watch. Going space crazy caused for their truest thoughts and desires to come out from the dark. (going to earth, what they think about each others’ actions) I thought that was really cool.

->KEITH CALLED KROLIA MOM!!! IT HAPPENED!! OMG. SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP FALLING TO MY KNEES AT WALMART!!!!!!!!🫡💪🔥🔊🗣️

->Krolia and kolivan definitely explored each other’s bodies idgaf. Kolivan is the dad that stepped up fr.

->Colleen Holt is an icon. She’s a girlboss. She’s a legend. I love her so much. Sam better watch out 🤛👊🤜

->^from “who is this divaaaa 😍😍” to “OMG GIRL LANCE??? 😮😁” to “OMG LANCE’S SISTERRRRR😆🤩”

->^is this not the “the pilot crashed!” girl from 1x01??

->tbh i literally could give less of a fuck about these people. The girls seem cool I guess. But I don’t really care about any of them.

->also no way they deadass named a dude kinkade. That was wild even for them (I’m so sorry if it’s a cultural thing)

->^I love it when they do little homage bits like referencing back s1 or 2 like this

->^screaming crying throwing up.

->^^that hug between pidge and her mom..i felt that. that shit was personal. Ya’ll see the way she held on to her? Diabolical work. (I’m tearing up as I type this)((that’s exactly how I’ve held my mom b4))

->^^^“uncle lance!” STOP. DON’T DO THIS TO ME. I CAN’T DO THISSSSSS *screams*

->HUUUNNNKKKK. MY BOYYYYY. UGHHHHHH. I’m gonna die

-> I will say this tho, I’m glad he’s getting a lot of focus and attention his way these last few seasons (6&7). Like yes!! Give the realest mf in the whole show the attention and appreciation he deserves!!!

->I was so happy when he got his parents back like I genuinely did a little celebratory dance (jumping up and down and going “yes!yes!yesyesyesyes! yeeeessssssss!” while doing exaggerated hand gestures)

->Adam fucking died.

->not even one scene showing his and shiro’s positive interactions. or them being romantic. one and a half scenes. And then he’s gone.

-> while, for the most part, I try to understand the writers faults further than just face level, (ie netflix or dreamworks just didn’t let them explicitly put anything there) idk I just. I feel like they could’ve at least played it off as them being “good friends” or something. But to kill him off is just…it feels wrong.

->and it feels like a wrong for shiro too. He finally gets to be on earth after everything that’s happened to him, and the one thing he’d been hoping to finally see,,is gone.

->I just feel like they did shiro dirty. they can never give that poor man a break.

->^I was right! Keith is definitely acting different because of his growth on the quantum abyss (or “space whale” as people seem to call it). It’s nice to know he’s matured and stuff, and can actually say what he feels and such, be a good team member/leader. I just wish it wasn’t all off-screen. (and while I’m happy for him..I do miss his more broody early-season self a bit)

->as much as I think allurance is cute, I feel like they’re kinda rushing it. Like. by the time they got to Earth it had barely been a month of being stuck in space post-s6. Maximum it’s been 3 months by the time of the final battle. she would not be blushing. She would be mourning Lotor. They could’ve had a little subplot about that,,the crushing weight of knowing she could’ve both stopped his death and the guilty feeling of “why am i mourning him..? He was a bad person” because she still loved him!! She still loved him when they were about to leave him in the quintessence field and she felt conflicted!!

->she would’ve also not caught feelings that fast. Let’s say she somehow miraculously got over Lotor in 2 months. (minimum!) she still wouldn’t have caught feelings! Maybe she would start like. the budding processes to begin to fall for lance…but she wouldn’t be blushing and being all bashful like that.

-> basically all I’m saying is I really hope they don’t rush this. It would feel unfair to both her and Lance. Allura literally was like “oh..😕 he said that..☹️?” In s6 when the mice told her about Lance’s feelings because she felt bad about breaking his heart.

->and Lance has literally been after her for a really long time,, so it’d be unfair to pair him with someone who only started liking him like a week ago.

->I also hate the “guy pines after girl, girl doesn’t reciprocate and turns him down a lot, guy almost gives up, girl starts falling for him just as the show ends after not showing any interest previously” trope. (I am aware Allura and Lance do share some more sweet and romantic scenes/moments in s4-6, but you catch my drift, right?)

-> I really hope they put it well in s8.

->^I got to that Lance scene I’ve seen everywhere and just. Wow. it was so intense. I actually got chills. Amazing work from the animation crew yet again.

-> the final battle was sooo amazing and so beautiful.

->the atlas stuff kinda threw me off tho.

->that admiral sanda girl was a bitch (i do not use that term lightly, especially for female characters) and not to sound like a maniac im glad she died ngl. She was stupid as hell if she thought her plan would work.

->also if the galra can invent something that can easily overpower Voltron, then why don’t they just take over the universe themselves?? They clearly have the resources to.

->seriously the atlas’s stuff was insane. Fym it’s a ship that makes a bigger, cooler, grizzled Voltron??(yes I will forever use that joke)

->^because like. Then what do you need Voltron for??

->like the pacing and plot twists and shit felt so off and out of nowhere this season.

->and the real kicker was the altean chick controlling that giant monster thang. literally what the freak. where the cameras at I know I’m getting pranked right now. they were just pulling shit out of their asses by then.

->again, need to say, if it weren’t for that altean chick, this could’ve also been a good ending?? like after reading the Wikipedia page I found out they had a 72 episode contract, so they need to get those last episodes out, (76 total, I did the math) but if anything I think it would be best if it was just a little anthology sort of thing. Like them defeating the rest of the galra left out, freeing planets, and focusing on their own lives and relationships (during and after). That would be probably the best course of action for s8.

->but apparently it has a “bad ending” (which I’m pretty sure is just ship stuff and people exaggerating)

->erm yeah that’s pretty much it. I think. Yay!

These are thoughts I compile over time. I finished Season 7 on 10/12/24. I apologize for my delay on posting this, I was meant to post it last week. I will now finally start what you have probably all been waiting for: Season 8.

Remember, my ask box is always open!! Feel free to ask anything on my opinions and such!!

Watching Voltron for the 1st Time: S7 Ep 9-11

GUYS I AM STILL HERE, this goddamn show has NOT killed me yet. If you're new, here's the long of it, and the short of it is that I got into this at first because a kid I tutor loves it, and now I'm still here out of pure spite. Unfettered ire, and desire to unpack every little thing wrong with this show because it's consumed my life. I think about how catastrophically wrong this show went too often now. I told my fucking situationship about this show that's how much it bothers me. So here's the list of things I liked and the much longer list of things I didn't about this run of episodes.

I am not mad

Shiro's fierce winged eyeliner is really the only thing working here isn't it anyway I love Shiro's fierce winged eyeliner.

Iverson liking the damn dog is so real because me too

Keith and Hunk actually talking is very sweet jfc it's about time there was some interpersonal interaction

I will fucking take them bringing back the Sendak shit from alllll the way back in the day. That is actually good use of an established plot point. Finally.

Veronica teasing her brother is unironically great sibling shit

Teleporting space wolf is overpowered as hell but I think he is so cute n fluffy I forgive

Sanda betraying them was very predictable and I am okay with this, it's a nice enough plot point. I'm okay with it in principle.

Shiro geting his lil Captain Kirk moment from Coran awwwwwww. He's got a half-alien too! (I wish I was watching Star Trek rn. I fucking wish anything in this show have the joys of Captain Kirk. I wish this show had Spock. I wish this show had anything even approaching THE LOWEST LOWS of Star Trek the original series. I WISH I WAS EXPERIENCING STAR TREK FOR THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF THIS)

I like them using the lions remotely. We love astral projection and tripping balls in the astral plane as I've already established.

Okay cool so the Atlas spaceship is going to turn into a fucking robot mecha because if there's anything I learned from this show it's that "abilities I never imagined" literally just means "giant robot mecha"

It IRKS me. IRKSOME stuff.

Guys it still really really really bothers me they never swapped armor colors I really really am so bothered by the bayards not matching

Hey guys wouldn't it be so fucking funny wouldn't it be so fucking useful. Wouldn't it be ideal. IF THESE CHARACTERS FUCKING INTERACTED LIKE PEOPLE OMFG also like look me in the eyes and tell me that this show AT NO POINT investigates the fact that ONLY military people got to survive shit

Keith saluting is the most out of charcter bullshit I've ever seen omfg

I FORGOR THEY KILLED ADAM OMFG THEY COULD'VE LET SHIRO HAVE LITERALLY ANYTHING IN THIS STORY YOU MEAN TO TELL ME HE AND THE ONLY REAL PERSON HE TALKS TO KEITH HAVEN'T SPOKEN AT ALL AND HE HAS NO FAMILY ON EARTH AND THEY KILLED HIS WONDERFUL BITCHY EX BOYFRIEND???? BRO???? UNBURY THAT GAY RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

I REALLY dislike how they gave Shiro a Sendak-ass floating arm. That feels. So gross for him given how greatly bothered he was by being compared to Sendak. If I had any faith in this show it could be something interesting to explore but why would we ever explore something in this show!

Keith is just MASSIVELY out of character this is the first time in this show where something happens to Shiro and he DOESN'T go ballistic (among other things lmfao what have they done to him)

Did they run out of animation budget with the amount of still shots in this run of episodes

Bro I am so deadass if I have to watch another military planning meeting I'm going to LOSE MY MIND this is NOT going to make exposition dumps better THIS IS WORSE

I THOUGHT WE'VE ALREADY ESTABLISHED THE FUCKING LIONS CAN PULL UP WE'VE BEEN KNOWN THIS THEY SHOULDN'T BE DOUBTING IT I'M– HOW DO YOU ESTABLISH THINGS AND THEN KEEP PRETENDING THEY'RE NEW

You're telling me we never see Keith and James kiss and make up and work it out on the remix? The remix happened offscreen? Homie I cannot do this anymore

This show really likes people fighting to have the same abilities, presumably to level the playing field. Lotor vs Voltron in their giant mechs, Keith vs the druid Macidus w the teleportation, Allura vs Haggar w the magic back in the day, so I presume they hit upon Shiro vs Sendak as a big final fight thus Shiro must have a Sendak arm. I think this is LAZY. You can have fights on an equal or even slightly skewed playing field with people having DIFFERENT ABILITIES! Those are the fights in this show that worked BEST!

They have nothing for Shiro to do :( give my unemployed king with the fierce eyeliner a JOB. They gave him a stupid ship called the Atlas bro I THINK SHIRO SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SHRUG (I really do hate that book) (This show just reminds me how much I miss the joy of original Star Trek) (I really just can't stop thinking about how much more I like Star Trek) (They WISH they had A SINGLE interpersonal relationship on this show with EVEN AN OUNCE of the depth that Kirk and Spock had) (you do not have to read those two romantically if you don't want to the whole point of their relationship is that it's all and none of the options you think it is) (Star Trek did big ensemble cast big story sci fi RIGHT)

I like that their new "Well we don't know what to do with this character anymore" move is just to kill em off.

Dear reader I miss watching Star Trek so much when I watch this show. I really, truly, deeply miss watching Star Trek.

I really cannot believe how poorly this show has gone. I LOVE science fiction. I love retro sci fi. I grew up on fucking Heinlein juveniles and Star Trek and Ender's Game (god the way Orson Scott Card has ruined so many good memories for me by being a homophobic piece of shit. I am so unspeakably angry about it). Getting me to like a throwback revival of an 80s campy sci fi staple should be a SLAM DUNK.

The fact that I just. Hate this. Is MIND BOGGLING. THIS IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY! YOU HAVE TO FUCK UP SO HARD FOR THAT. I AM AN EASY PERSON TO PLEASE.

I don't care anymore man I just need this show OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRR IT'S BEEN WEEKS OF WATCHING EXCEEDINGLY POORLY CRAFTED WRITING AND I REALLY JUST FEEL SO HOLLOW!

I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING. I have nothing. I have no rambles in me left, I have take no joy in this really. There's just BETTER STUFF out there. There's stuff that is arguably MORE fraught in terms of race and gender and yet still overall does a BETTER JOB at telling a story because this show was so RUSHED and can't do anything right.

I just. Need a bit of a palate cleanser. After this show ends I might liveblog a totally different piece of media that I actually like, because really, I am just so fed up with this show that it's making me question why I even liked this genre to begin with.

headcanon involving eating disorders re: tokyo afterschool summoners

ALL versions of the protagonist, including the protagonists who aren't protagonist 5, have binge eating disorder. though, in my version of canon, protagonist 5 IS the canon protagonist, but has the other protagonists living in their head as alters. the protagonist struggles with binge eating disorder specifically due to resurgence of memories of seeing so many of their friends die over multiple timeloops, and some days, they can't take it, and will eat and eat until they pass out. usually, ryota or moritaka finds them, and walks them to their room. moritaka usually gives them a scolding (which is pretty dang rude to a binge eater but it's moritaka), while ryota tries to help them get a healthier relationship with food and basically tries to brute force cbt and dbt with protagonist. the brute force cbt and dbt are starting to work, and protagonist is starting to have less binging episodes than before, though they still slip up every so often.

shiro struggles with binge eating disorder as well; it makes him feel bad about himself because he's supposed to be the disciplined one, he's supposed to be the class representative everyone looks up to, and he's "out of control" like this, so it makes him feel like he lives up less to the standards he sets for himself. his binge eating disorder is caused by ocd; he has obsessive, ruminating thoughts about being perfect and being the perfect body shape, which then he ends up feeling like he falls short because he's a little chubbier than average, and ends up binging until he feels sick and has stomach cramps. once, protagonist caught him after a binge surrounded by food crumbs and wrappers and on the floor clutching his stomach, and they rubbed his back and stomach while telling him about the times they've binged out of trauma, though they don't feel comfortable yet telling him about the times they've seen him die. protagonist kisses shiro's forehead, and tells him that he loves him no matter what size he is, and that they'll help him work on his body image and will be his partner no matter what. shiro perks up a bit after that, and although he still struggles on occasion, protagonist does help him by teaching him the dbt and cbt skills they know to help him out.

surprisingly, ryota doesn't have binge eating disorder, and has probably one of the healthiest relationships with food out of the whole shinjuku summoners.

toji tends to restrict his appetite and his food intake due to his belief that as a successor of his supernatural arts, he's supposed to have no desires period. he pretty much qualifies for anorexia, aside from concerns about his body image and shape, so he'd go into the osfed category.

kengo is pretty much obsessive about his diet and "needs to get his macros in"; he's kind of obsessive about his diet and food intake in the way a gym bro with orthorexia would be. he's not the type to fat shame; he's not that kinda guy, and that therian kid is pretty dang fat, and he can outrun him like nobody's business (and probably a good majority of people), so why should he shame fat people for having bodies that aren't like his? but he feels immense shame eating food that isn't perfectly healthy and perfectly nutrient balanced, and surprisingly has fairly bad orthorexia. he's ashamed of it, because it's "a girly disorder for girls" and wishes he had something like muscle dysmorphia instead.

Golden pumpkins hunt

A short and little crappy story about our farmers and the madness during the maze on Spirits Eve.

Farmer OCs in this story: May (@poxy-domain), Zeke (@theambivalentagender), Rain (@silly-farmer), Wren (@girls4zelda), Bo (@boinurmom13), Miranda (@amishasp), Shiro (@shirokumav3), Myra (@seharuuchan), Marley (@mmarggsstuff), Willow (@vilochkaaa), Skylar (@justashamwithwastedpotential), Thad (@reallyghostlypost), Lucy (@doggoneaway), Bella (@ivquatro), Eris (@lavendel081), Elisa (@elisa6102), Hestia (@g0atmama), Fawn (@fawn-wickenshire), Josephine (@jazhand), Ziana (@nimillaarts) and Julian (my OC).

_________________________________________

"Aunt Marnie! I'm not little anymore, why can't I go into the maze...". Julian turned to Jaz, who had been begging her aunt for about ten minutes to let her enter the scary maze this year, but Marnie was still hesitant. No sooner had Julian greeted the two of them and congratulated them on Spirit's Eve than Bo pulled him back to the maze entrance.

"You'll see, dude, we're definitely going to win this Magnus puzzle! Especially since this year's prize is not one, but three whole golden pumpkins!", Bo enthusiastically tugged on his friend's sleeve, unable to contain his anticipation before the treasure hunt. "We'll divide the spoils, naturally: both get a pumpkin each, and the third... well, we'll figure something out!"

The two young men stopped near two artisanal arches.

"It's showtime, baby! Ok, I'll go left, and you go right then. Good luck, bro." With a Hollywood smile on his face, Bo clapped Julian on the shoulder, and disappeared into the semi-darkness of the maze.

The young man with multicolored eyes sighed a little tiredly: he wasn't opposed to the most exciting adventure to find the golden pumpkin, but before entering the maze, Julian wanted some snacks from the communal food table. The poor lad hadn't had time to eat before the feast, and the smell of spices made his stomach rumble and mind go crazy. But Julian decided he would help Bo win the contest first, because after all, three pumpkins was a very generous reward.

Without wasting any more precious time, Julian finally entered the maze. The tangled paths, the cold, penetrating wind, the dense dark vegetation on either side, the atmosphere and frightening scenery, the shrieks of familiar voices, the laughter and the rush - enthralled by the spirit of the feast, Julian even forgot about hunger for a while.

Continuing to walk further and further down the labyrinth, Julian didn't immediately realize how he found himself in a place separate from the main maze. There was a circle where Magnus Rasmodius himself was sitting cross-legged, and next to the wizard were Julian's friends and colleagues in farming - Eris and Bella were sitting on soft pouffes, holding cups with hot drinks in their hands, and Elisa was eating delicious white chocolate-covered strawberries. The treats were made with scary but still cute faces of all sorts of ghosts and monsters.

"Hey, Julian! Happy Spirit's Eve!", with her mouth slightly full, Elisa congratulated the young man. Bella and Eris also nodded to Julian sincerely happy meeting their friend.

"Greetings, young adept. Enjoying the festivities?", Magnus ducked one eye open, not taking a break from his meditation. Julian sensed a large concentration of magic in this place - apparently to maintain the summoned maze.

"Would you like to join us? We still have some strawberries and hot tea left." Bella moved a loose cushion closer and a plate of strawberries, which Elisa looked at very intently. Oh, how Julian wanted to stay here and have a snack!

But he made a promise to Bo...

"Thanks for the offer, but another time. I still want to win the competition."

"Good luck to you, then." Eris smiled sincerely at the young man, and happily took a sip of hot tea.

"Watch out, young fool. The treasure is guarded by fearsome monsters, it won't be easy to get it..." Magnus was pleased with his own cryptic and creepy speech, and hummed quietly, returning to his meditation. After saying goodbye to everyone, Julian rolled his eyes.

"Scary monsters, yeah... They're all fake for sure!" With that thought, the young man went back to searching for the right path to the treasure.

Walking past the plastic spiders (where Thad was able to hide and scare Julian enough to make the poor guy jump a little), he stopped near a huge cauldron where a green liquid of unknown origin was bubbling. Penny, Ziana, Shiro, and Myra stared at the bottom of the cauldron, mesmerized.

"Mr. Julian..." Ziana said in a slightly monotone somehow. "This cauldron... It smells so good, it makes my head spinning and dizzy." The other girls only nodded slowly to confirm her words.

The boiling water smelled like cotton candy, and Julian's hungry stomach twisted itself into a knot. Ugh, no, he need to move on! Overcoming the urge to stay near the cauldron, the young farmer returned to his original mission, intending to turn left.

"Nope, it's a dead end." Skylar walked out of the darkness a little tiredly with Sam. "Honey, maybe we can go back to the common table?"

"Oh, absolutely!" Sam was delighted, "Besides, the straw in my suit makes me itchy... like, everywhere."

Oh well, Julian thought, the search continues.

"Hmm, maybe I should turn into a dragon? Then I’ll definitely find the treasure..." Hestia stood thoughtfully near the fake tombstones.

"Don't cheat!", Julian said a little provocatively from behind, which slightly frightened the girl. Hestia herself was not in debt, and stuck her tongue out at Julian, disappearing into the darkness of the labyrinth. Giggling, the young man walked on.

Yoba, the labyrinth seemed endless to him, and his stomach is already begged for some food...

"You decided to take part in the treasure hunt too?" Julian didn't notice Rain standing in front of him. He nodded to her in agreement. "And you?" Julian asked.

"Eh, I'm just hanging out here. I like this creepy atmosphere, it gives me goosebumps." Rain smiled, pointing her hand at Fawn and Josephine standing nearby. "Besides, I decided to accompany my friends in case we accidentally stumble upon monsters." She patted the hilt of her sword that was strapped to her hip.

"Huh? But the monsters in the maze aren't real." Julian was surprised.

"How are you so sure?", having asked a rhetorical question, Rain said goodbye to her friend and returned to the girls, who were still looking at the house with chicken legs with delight and curiosity.

Her words made Julian's hand tighten his grip on the hilt of the dagger, which he had taken purely to decorate his suit... "Magnus wouldn't put people's lives in danger. Right?..." Now walking more carefully and listening to every sound, Julian I was able to go through half the maze already.

After about two minutes, the poor guy was scared again when Miranda's figure suddenly appeared from the bushes. The girl’s face was distorted with anger, and she confidently walked past Julian towards the exit, despite the thorny bushes.

"Today there will be one less stupid adventurer in the world," Marley said to Julian with a malicious smile when she saw his downcast face. "You’re on the right track, brother. The treasure is out there somewhere. I think"

"Aren't you going to look for pumpkins?", still in a slight shock, Julian asked hesitantly.

"And miss such a show?" Smiling even wider, Marley hurried after her friend. Julian prayed for the soul of that unfortunate adventurer who became the cause of Miranda's righteous anger. Deciding to find out about this story later, he headed in the direction from which both girls had emerged.

With every step he took, his hope of winning faded, and the thought of returning to other friends at a common table beckoned him more and more.

“Yep, I told you it was fake,” Zeke stopped looking at the plastic chest and just quietly snorted at Shane’s comment. "Oh, another competitor." Shane just smiled faintly, and Zeke waved to Julian in greeting. "Zek, maybe, to hell with these pumpkins? I’m already hungry." Oh, how hungry Julian is - you can’t imagine, Shane!

"Alright alright, let's go for the snacks. I hope there’s some honey bun left in there!' Taking Shane by the hand, Zeke led him towards the exit.

Mmmm, honey buns... Julian can already feel the sweetness melting in his mouth and...

"Oh man, there you are!" Poor Julian might have a heart attack at this rate, and he's too young to die! Ah, it's just Bo.

"We are already close, I can already feel the taste of victory!" Taking Julian again by the sleeve of his leather jacket, the two farmers headed along the only road that would definitely lead them to the desired chest.

"So, now we have to go here and-" Bo didn’t have time to finish when suddenly, before his and Julian’s eyes, the figure of their mutual friend, Wren, appeared.

"Agh, damn, I knew I should have teleport a little further!" Stomping her foot angrily, the red-haired girl, however, immediately turned pale when she saw Julian and Bo, and giggled slightly nervously.

"What the tutty frutty fuck is going on here?" Confused, Bo blinked a couple of times and immediately answered his own question: "Cheater!"

Wren only smiled even stronger and ran away in the opposite direction from the treasure.

"Hey, come back!" Bo rushed off after the girl, leaving Julian alone. Alright.

It became darker and darker, the cold autumn wind did not spare anyone who was now outside, and the stomach began to growl again. So having decided to finally reach the end, the young man already prayed that this would be the end of the hunt for golden pumpkins. He's so tired and so, oh so hungry...

And it seems that this time - finally - Yoba heard the prayers of one of the chaotic farmers in the Stardew Valley.

A large, decorated wooden chest - after so many puzzles and endless dead ends - Julian finally found the treasure. He had already stretched out his hands to touch the lid of the chest and rightfully take the prize, when a human figure again appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

But this time it was May.

The girl smiled to the fact that she had teleported directly to the target, but her smile immediately faded when she realized that she had been caught. Oopsie....

The two farmers looked into each other's eyes for half a minute, not daring to do anything.

"Apple cinnamon pie in exchange for your silence," May finally decided to interrupt this staring contest. Julian's eyes widened.

"Deal", Oh boy, you didn't need to say twice. After shaking her hand and receiving from his friend a plate with a still warm pie (where she even get this pie?), May took her prize from the chest and disappear once again.

With the satisfied smile of the happiest man in the entire Valley, Julian began to leave the maze, still holding the plate of pie in his hands.

"Well, did you get your prize?" Willow laughed good-naturedly, standing with Lucy near the exit from the maze. Julian just nods, and Lucy noted to herself how little a person needs to be happy.

Choose your bomber; trivia

Selection of random thoughts and hcs for the bros

Yapping below.

White/Shiro

The meanest thing he's ever said was, "I was not impressed with your performance tonight."

Is a fan favorite for the exact opposite reason black is, he's very respectful to all of his opponents, even black. He considers them more as competitors rather than opponents.

Wanted to fight because of karate movies and martial arts films.

Slowly became more adjusted to Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and incorporated elements of it (sweeps, reverses etc) into his wrestling.

Uses a jumping/lunging punch, or "superman punch" to catch opponents off guard.

Was a DEFENDING champion (of a regional organization) at a very young age before making it to the world stage.

Many consider him the only true mixed martial artist.

Aged (age in context refers to cumulative lasting damage a fighter takes over the course of the career) very well, is mostly defensively sound.

Only black has ever finished white with strikes.

Him and black began training together. It was mutually beneficial, with white being able to improve his striking in sparring black and black being able to improve his defensive grappling with white.

Mentored red through his regional career, but both had to split off to different trainers at the professional level.

---------------------------------------------------

Black/Kuro

If the term "crash out" was a person.

opposite to white, he spouts pure vinegar and genuinely seems like he hates his opponent.

White and black are 3-2 respectively, with 1 draw.

Both have finished eachother, black in their first fight by R4 TKO and white in their 6th fight by R2 SUB.

His respect only comes post-fight, win or lose. It really throws people off.

Regularly gets into legal trouble for his antics outside of the cage.

One of his opponents teams tried to intimidate one of his teammates, so he gathered them together and swarmed the bus they were on.

Also smashed a bottle on one of his opponents coaches head when they shoved his coach.

Will regularly escalate situations (I'm changing up his character a bit for this, as I will be for the others but his will be most apparent)

Wasn't a good role model at all but would have peaked later in life and matured.

Is NOT a fan of the stick-and-move style despite having the physical attributes to suit it best. He never does something for no reason, everything is done to set up more offense and pile it on.

Despite being a longer, rangey fighter he also prioritizes body shots very well. His favorite kick is the spinning back kick to the body.

Is a master at keeping fights standing, black is actually what got white to improve his grappling to the championship level, by learning how to hold someone as skilled as black down

Funny enough, after he got subbed by red he approached white about training with him, and it was after theyd already fought 3 times.

Granted, neither thought they'd be fighting again, let alone 3 more times.

Shiro and Kuro's rivalry stands as one of the longest running rivalries, as well as the biggest draw in the sports' history.

---------------------------------------------------

Blue/Ao

Was actually a D1 (Division 1) wrestler. His first ten wins were either by ground & pound TKO or slam KO.

Was team mates with red during the regionals (amateurs.)

Blue opted to start a bit later than red and stayed in the regionals for experience.

Red and blue are 1-1, both having finished eachother with strikes.

Red beat blue by standing TKO and blue pulled a 1-off head kick and KOd red.

Gets stunned/wobbled but very difficult to drop.

Has Never been KOd... yet

If he gets cracked really badly he has a tendency to "zombie" his way back into the fight instead of just going down or shooting a takedown.

Accidentally defended his own takedown once after getting wobbled badly.

Since he dropped pressure-wrestling almost entirely, his offensive grappling isn't as good at the top level. But he retained enough to be able to deny takedowns.

Realized he had heavy hands after narrowly escaping a submission and turning his opponents' lights out with a right hand after standing the fight back up.

Is still quite susceptible to upper-body takedowns or well timed entries.

Began developing leg kicks after realizing opponents had a harder time running from his power punches if he damages their legs.

Is actually quite intelligent with his power, always has a plan to "deliver" that power as efficiently as possible.

Has a tendency to get trigger happy, sometimes needs to be reminded by his coach to "take 30 to 40 percent off your shots"

---------------------------------------------------

Pretty

Mentor to pink as well as a team mate and co-trainer to her.

Essentially pioneered the "karate blitzc" style.

Very upright posture, tends to go for "straight kicks" like teeps and lead-leg side kicks.

Can and will break components like opponents' hands if they block too much.

Developed slick boxing and fast 1-2s and 1-2-1s after losing a decision to black where he left too little room for her to kick, but just enough to punch.

Her and black made an agreement pre-fight that neither of them is shooting takedowns. It'd be a pure striking match-up.

As opposed to black, where he relies on a mixture of building up damage and offense over the course of the fight, pretty almost exclusively builds damage throughout a fight.

Alot of her finishes are ref/corner stoppages. Like black, she's not exactly known for putting people's lights out.

She likes to "snap" her kicks out from her hips, this makes it tough to tell what kicks she's throwing and when to defend against it.

Her grappling is a bit less effective than black, she also trained with white (also got to train with black to improve her boxing) in an attempt to get around this but she's never been huge on wrestling.

---------------------------------------------------

Aqua

Was mainly a pressure wrestler who'd submit her opponents but wasn't too active offensively. She'd get the takedown and wait for an opportunity to present itself rather than taking the initiative. basically a "lay n pray" style of grappling.

Occasionally goes for submissions. Landed quite a few earlier in her career, she has several decision wins during this period as well.

The audiences weren't too happy with this.

Very good at reversing/scrambling out of bad positions.

She's still the only person to ever KO red stiff with a single punch.

Even after rolling most of the impact off, black was still wobbled.

The closest anyone's ever came to dropping black.

Not very much skill on the feet (on the feet = standing and striking) but her punching power is usually enough to put most on the back foot.

Very good durability. Has yet to be finished by strikes.

Has a knack for winging big looping overhands.

Has been described as a new fighter ever since her big win over red. She's been described as more of a "marauder."

The shift in fan perspective on her has been night and day. Went from being seen as a boring pure-wrestler to one of the most volatile and exciting fighters on the roster due to the fact that she can end the fight at any time if she lands flush.

---------------------------------------------------

Red

Very good analyst, can sometimes get someone's style down on the fly.

Very good mix of speed and power, although hits quite hard himself.

He regularly trades power for speed and vice versa, he relies on cumulative damage just like black but his punching power is much more intimidating.

Very good wrestler during the regionals. Once he went pro, he began to develop good boxing and kickboxing but made sure to keep up on his grappling.

This gives him an extra layer of both offensive and defensive versatility.

Uses an odd, older school style of blocking where he cover-blocks one side normally with its respective hand and crosses the other hand over his face, in a modified "cross-guard"

Has finishes by both strikes and submissions.

Good defense, tough to hit clean due to mixture of blocks and movement. Has good durability for when defense fails.

Maintains that black was his toughest fight, despite red having 3 victories over him.

Misses training with white.

Very outspoken and direct, isn't a fan of trash talk and when he does talk trash, he means it.

Tends to take things a little too personally

Is the most thrown off by blacks' behavioral patterns.

Despite being younger, he's actually considered a veteran having nearly as many fights as white and black.

This is because he opted to turn professional as soon as possible.

Generally a stand up guy, he hates fouls though.

Can be a little salty sometimes.

---------------------------------------------------

Pink

Most of whats applied to pretty can also be applied to pink as far as styles go.

Very kick heavy, but whereas pretty likes to keep both her hands low, pink always makes sure she has her right hand glued to her face.

This is because she found out she was a bit "chinny" after getting finished.

Since the defensive adjustments she's been far too elusive to finish with just one strike.

Can get wobbled and dropped, but can usually weather it out.

I honestly wish I had more to say about pink... I'll work more of it out as I go.

---------------------------------------------------

Yellow

Like pretty, usually likes to keep both hands low.

Also a little chinny, but their division also has some pretty heavy hitters so it's not surprising.

Their offensive skill is incredible, known for putting on kickboxing masterclasses on top opponents

Very slick with their boxing but mixes kicks into it as well.

Their favorite combination it's a 1-2 followed by a rear-leg roundhouse kick.

Very jolly individual, very different from how much of a killer their are in the cage.

Loves to do funny promotional material.

One time went to a press conference dressed as a famous wrestler.

Has gotten knocked out one time.

In the rematch with the same person, they made the improvements and took the champion to a razor thin decision... one that they were, sadly, on the losing end of.

Since then, modified their style to do as much damage to opponents as efficiently as possible.

Has pretty underrated wrestling. Rarely needs it but can be expected to mix it up every now and again.

Pretty good takedown entries, although to their own admission, can get a bit overzealous with them.

Actually won the interim championship, not quite the undisputed title but it was a belt that put them next in line for the undisputed title.

---------------------------------------------------

Green

Also don't have much I can say about them.

Deceptively long arms for their frame, often catches opponents off guard.

Perfected their "rubber guard" during the regionals.

Has some of the most mindboggling scrambles and reversals ever (in the context of grappling)

Somewhat of a submission specialist off their back.

Career will not last long due to buildup of damage but it'll be a spectacular one for sure.

Fights are always so volatile. One moment it looks like green is gonna get finished, then they roar back and end up finishing their opponent.

Very unorthodox training methods, heavily cardio and durability focused.

More often than not, stops their opponent on cuts or swelling, I.E a doctor stoppage.

Their opponents never look too good after the fight.

Is considered the "boogeyman" of their division.

At the start of their career, they had a very tough time getting fights because no one wanted to fight them.
