idk if anyone said this, but i saw your based post in the codot verse tag, and although it's heavily implied, scriddler will never be canon in rogues. he keeps reiterating this. honestly the whole podcast feels concerningly like queerbait and virtue signaling for as much as I love it

Thank you for your question I do enjoy these interactions, and I do apologise for my lack of activity. I am away from home at the moment, so I can’t provide the best sources, but I can give what information I have and form an opinion off of that.

To understand queer-bating, I’ll be using the 2012 Oxford English Dictionary, which describes queer-bating as “the practice of incorporating apparently or potentially LGBTQ characters or relationships into a film, television show, etc., as a means of attracting or appealing to LGBTQ audiences, while remaining deliberately coy or ambiguous” now the purpose of this is to capitalise of off the gay community while also pandering to the straight audience it is purposefully deceptive. When we think of queer-bating, we can think of louder examples like Voltron or smaller nods through cinematic storytelling with no confirmation. But the purpose is to be vague and create speculation.

Now I will agree I personally would think Jonathan and Edward are closer than friends, especially if I had no background context. When you look at the banter and chemistry between then I think it is fair to want to interpret it as such, however It’s debatable if we can classify rogues! as queer bating.

My own personal opinion on codot aside. Both creators in some way are queer, that doesn’t always mean good representation but scriddler as much as I do ship it, codot has never hinted that he likes or ships scriddler and in fact has been open that scriddler wouldn’t be happening. Now I scrolled through about 3 year of content only on one of his accounts and he specifies this on February 11th 2024;

and confirms their sexuality on June 4th 2024 (although he has older posts that do also mention their sexualities)

I went as far back as 2022 but did not see much content elsewhere he has then reiterated this recently and even within the rogues! Podcast sexuality is discussed so while we can be disappointed it’s not shocking.

For this to count as queer-bating they need to:

• be presented as both possibly queer

•be implied in a relationship

•used as a plot point/used to entice an audience

Edward is the only one openly presented as queer and codot doesn’t hide this while Jonathan is never hinted to be gay. There has been open communication for atleast 2 years stating their sexuality and relationship. I also couldn’t find scriddler content promoted by codot to even contradict what he was saying. So yes while this may be disappointing and I do critique codot I wouldn’t count this as queer-bating it’s been too explicit to be queer-bating.

Here’s some silly headcannons I have about Leifsdottir because I saw someone else post theirs and she is my favorite Voltron character sooo:

Because of her Icelandic last name, I feel like a lot of her family still lives in Iceland. I also think that the family that still lives there own some sort of cattle or sheep farm in the more rural countryside

Band kid/theater kid combo. She grew up listening to jazz because of her dad and played trombone then also learned flute. And she’s also def a crew member, prefers lights/spotlight; has high key stage freight

I’ve seen this before and I heavily agree, she definitely made her self have a crush on James because everyone else had crushes on boys, learned she was a lesbian in her early teen years

absolutely ADORES reptiles, she always dreams of owning a lizard, specifically a gecko. She’s a dictionary of lizard facts

she almost exclusively reads dystopian/sci fi books. It started with animal farm and 1984 in “high school,” (whatever the garrison equivalent is) then it spread.

accidently flirts with people ALL THE TIME. Someone would ask her a question and she responds without even realizing that she did the triangle method on the person and now they’re questioning if she meant it or not

That’s all for now, I have many more but I’m tired and didn’t want this post to be super long, I will return >:)

🌼may recap🌼

writing process:

wake up at 7:45 AM, use the bathroom/brush my teeth, and get ready for the day

perch in a writing spot for the rest of the day until I gotta go to work at around 3:30 PM

open the google doc from February 2025

stare at the said doc, read the "outline", and reread the scenes I wrote before forming a solid plan

put on music to vibe and daydream (pick out songs if the vibes are vibing)

rewatch episodes and add transcripts where we're able to

write more scenes

think about worldbuilding and add side characters‼️

brain dump, except we're trying hard to form the scenes rather than doing random stuff to build on later

cry cause i'm an empath (that sounds so cringey sorry AHAHA)

read Lotacxa's wedding scene and figure out how I want their dynamic to be

stare at google doc again and sigh

make up more lore for the sake of not going into a slump (i'm telling y'all, the Voltron vs. Sincline battle is my biggest opp atm)

I get home from work around 9:30 PM, then spend until midnight writing low-key incoherent things

reread and slow the scenes down if possible the next day

slow the scenes down more and google/dictionary/thesaurus like a mad woman

edit

reread

edit

talk to my sissy and give her vague descriptions of what's happening to gauge her thoughts because I thrive on talking

giggle with her because she's like "oh???" (regarding Lotacxa, we were big fans of Lotor saving her from drowning 🤭)

continue writing, reading, and editing as we go whilst giggling because Lotacxa pre-VTLL canon is so fun

split all 13 parts into separate docs so I can use grammarly to start editing-editing

reread, edit some more, and add descriptive, pretty words

add all the separate docs back into my mega doc

copy and pasting across all platforms and finding out i hit the ao3 limit???

panic and split chapter 32 into two chapters

spend a long time centering things and making the supplementary post while also trying to figure out how chapter 34 will play out

publish (and it feels like a weight's been lifted off my shoulders)

give it another read (i read it on Quotev this time around and found out i could change the font??? literally wild. i typically read the fic on Wattpad or ao3 😭)

hope someone liked 'em and had a fun time reading🫡

[honeyspeeches]

Hi! thanks so much for your response. Because you took the time to write out your thoughts, I want to extend the same effort and respond to your interpretation. I find I can best do this by responding to each of your points one by one, so bear with me as I try to back up my claims and clear up some confusion I may have caused.

I also want to preface this by saying that the analysis above is a bit less refined than my main analysis, which was my focus, and was more so a by-product of the observations I made while rewatching Voltron for the main analysis. So, with that out of the way, I'd like to answer some of your concerns. I've put it all under the cut so that I don't spam people's dashes lol

"the main reason they act more “mature” (more on track than the rest of the paladins) is because of their proximity to the galra in s1-2 right? they have that in common, a reason to hate the galra most thus motivating them to get the job done accordingly and add to that their sense of responsibility towards the team. [...] none of them know the scale of their cause like shiro and allura and add to that the responsibility they bear towards the team."

Firstly, thank you for trying to define maturity here! I admit that is one hole in the analysis that I didn't define clearly, the parameters to which I compared all of their behaviour to. So, let me start by trying to define it here.

"1. The quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult. 2. a very advanced or developed form or state."

This is the definition given by Cambridge's dictionary page [x]

It states that maturity is the "quality of behaving mentally and emotionally like an adult." Since we don't know Allura's age, the way in which we can determine whether she shows maturity is by comparing her to other adult characters in the series, whose ages we do know, or at least can infer based on their personalities and their characteristics. This is what I tried to do in my original analysis, by pointing out moments where she interacts with other, older characters.

Let's start with mentally.

Allura is the one to decide what to do when Sendak attacks in Episode 1:

[Season 1, Episode 1: The Rise of Voltron, 48:21]

As Shiro states, this is because she has experience, and she knows what to do.

[Season 1, Episode 1, The Rise of Voltron, 46:16]

To compare to the other adult character in Voltron, whose age we know, let's look at Shiro. Shiro also usually decides what the team should do. To compare to another adult character, Kolivan also is the one who lays down the plan, when on missions in the Blade of Marmora. This is because they all have more experience than the ones they give orders to. So, she has that in common with two other adult characters.

She also expresses caution, just like Shiro does and Kolivan do:

[Season 2, Episode 5: Eye of the Storm, 10:34 ; Season 2, Episode 8: The Blade of Marmora, 03:25]

Another thing she has in common with two other adult characters.

Allura also heads the meeting with Kolivan in Season 3, Episode 1: Changing of the Guard, and tries to amend Keith's outburst.

Based on this, we can conclude that Allura shares more similarities with the other adult characters of the show, rather than the younger characters, mentally (in the first two seasons and episode 1 of season 3).

Next we have emotionally:

[Season 1, Episode 9: Crystal Venom, 22:36]

[Season 3, Episode 1: Changing of the Guard, 22:26]

Both of these times Allura is showing incredible emotional maturity in her response to stressful situations, especially ones which relate to her personally (as seen in season 1 already, for example). Both of these times, Allura lost someone close to her, yet she responded incredibly gracefully to both situations.

And, as I said in my first analysis, she mostly shares her emotional worries with the older characters of the show (Shiro in Season 2, Episode 5 and Coran in Season 3 Episode 1). This implies her level of maturity, as she can best "spar" with someone who has the same level of maturity as she does.

Secondly, I'd like to point out that Shiro doesn't hate the Galra the same way Allura does. In season 1, Episode 1, Shiro tells Hunk that they can't let the Galra have the Blue Lion because he knows their goal. He is expressing caution and moral righteousness, rather than hatred. He also doesn't use as harsh language against the Galra, the same way Allura does:

[Season 1, Episode 1: The Rise of Voltron, 19:41]

“You don't understand. These monsters spread like a plague throughout the galaxy, destroying everything in their path. There's no bargaining with them. They won't stop until everything is dead."

Compared to here:

[Season 5, Episode 1: The Prisoner, 06:33]

"One of the most bloodthirsty race of murderers this universe has ever known."

And in fact, he trusts the Blade of Marmora once he regains his memories. When he finds out Keith is half-Galra, he also doesn't treat him any differently, unlike Allura.

This is because Shiro doesn't hate the Galra, I actually doubt Shiro hates anything. He is the moral compass of Voltron, and he knows what's right and what is wrong. He is pointing to the Galra's imperialism and colonialism as wrong, because it is at the detriment of the conquered planets, and he points to Allura's prejudice as wrong, because he sees that she is judging every Galra as bad before she gets to know them. He sees that her prejudice blinds her. And Allura sees this too by the end of season 2:

[Season 2, Episode 9: Belly of the Weblum]

However, again, she regresses completely from this in season 3-8.

"besides, allura had so many “immature” moments in s1-2. mostly season 1 very similar to the other paladins, she literally was constantly in a rush to get the paladins ready, pushing them till they snap, she literally started a fucking food fight 😂. and in season 2 her rashness drove her to go on a mission which jeopardized the entire team twice not once (in collect and extract s1 she insists on going on that mission), and (ark of taujeer s2 she leaves even though the castle can’t operate wout her) much like heith. and she lets her prejudice prevail in the episode shiro’s escape. [MY SHAYLAS] and as grounding shiro is to keith, he grounds allura too."

I would not constitute the behaviours you presented here as immature, because of her intention with them. She was in a rush to train the paladins because she understood the direness of their situation. She only has inexperienced pilots to deal with, and Zarkon is still conquering planets as they fumble with their Lions. Furthermore, if her rush is immature, then Shiro's rush here is immature as well

[Season 1, Episode 2: Some Assembly Required, 09:12]

and we all know Shiro to be the most mature one of them all. So it's not immature, even if it is impatient.

Furthermore, yes! She is rash, just like Keith! However, unlike Keith, these behaviours are a bit more refined, as in the reason behind them are more due to the importance of her situation, rather than her own personal shortcomings (Keith is rash and impulsive because he doesn't have respect for authority, and because he has a hard time working in a team, having spent his whole life alone. Allura is rash because she wants to solve problems quickly and efficiently. These are two different things). Moreover, they do not occur as often as it does for Keith. This aligns with the second definition of maturity as stated by the Cambridge Dictionary:

"a very advanced, or developed form or state."

I stated multiple times in the main analysis as well as the one above, that Allura was meant to be a more mature version of Keith, as it ties into her and Shiro's parallel with Keith and Lance, respectively. Allura and Shiro in seasons 1-2 were meant to show us Lance and Keith's work relationship once they mature, grow and put aside their differences (especially Lance). We see this parallel on its way to being fulfilled in season 3, when Lance grounds Keith the same way Shiro grounds Allura, as you state above:

and as grounding shiro is to keith, he grounds allura too.

[Season 1, Episode 9: Crystal Venom, 22:30 ; Season 3, Episode 1: Changing of the Gaurd, 22:19 respectively]

I pointed this out in my original analysis as well. Shiro is to Allura what Lance is to Keith. They have many parallels that are consistent throughout the first three seasons.

"I think that putting her in blue was a mistake for the reason you said, she lost her leadership rank. nevertheless I think that she does mature after s1-2 but with the pace and the sudden changes she gets to a point where she has limited options."

I didn't (at least intentionally) try to imply that I thought this decision was a mistake, but rather that it brought about changes in her personality which are inconsistent with the characteristics she shows in the first two seasons. Her flying the Blue Lion does force her into an unknown environment, where she is much less comfortable, however, she learns very quickly to adjust to her new environment, as Lance also states here:

[Season 3, Episode 6: Tailing a Comet, 05:55]

This tells us that we should see Allura gain more confidence, but unfortunately, that is not what we see:

Allura expresses doubt in herself and her abilities multiple times, and none of these are related to the Blue Lion, but rather with her own, personal abilities. This is inconsistent with who she was in season 1 and 2, and it also makes her a static character:

"A static character is one that does not undergo inner changes [...] The personality of this character remains the same at the end of the story as it appeared in the beginning." [x]

Unfortunately, this describes Allura perfectly. Her change in characteristics from s1-2 to s3, is a regression of her personality. And once this regression occurs, her personality does not change at all.

[Season 5, Episode 1: The Prisoner, 06:33]

[Season 8, Episode 10: Knights of Lights, Pt. II, 15:31]

"LOTOR! he symbolized so much!!! he was the product of galra and altean unity.. he constantly praised allura’s dad, I do not think he was disingenuous with his praise.. having him as an ally was a huge step for the coalition because now they get to operate within the corrupt system."

I don't deny any of what you said. I don't deny that Lotor was most likely very genuine in his praise of not only Allura, but of Alteans in general. BUT, he did those things with an ulterior motive, to gain something that he needed for his plan (Allura's alchemy abilities). As I said in my original analysis, although Lotor may have gained real, genuine feelings for Allura, it does not change the intentions he went in with working with Voltron. Lotor's plan was always to manipulate Voltron (including Allura) into helping him by pretending that his generals had betrayed him. He always had an ulterior motive. He confirms this for us in Season 6:

[Season 6, Episode 6: All Good Things, 07:34]

My point wasn't whether it was beneficial for them to work with the Galra or not, because obviously it is. If they work together with the Galra, they essentially have no reason to fight them. Nor was my point whether Lotor's feelings for Allura were genuine. My point was mainly to focus on Allura's reactions and how they differ from her reactions when she is introduced.

allura recognized all of those things, she wasn’t naive she was hopeful and desperate. she had no other option but to trust him and gain the oriond powers that would get them steps over the galra power that been growing for the past 10,000 years.

"Naive: too willing to believe that someone is telling the truth, that people's intentions in general are good, or that life is simple and fair. People are often naive because they are young and/or have not had much experience in life."

This is the definition of "naive" from the Cambridge dictionary website [x]. Allura exhibits many of these traits listed here. The first time in Season 3, Episode 4: Hole in the Sky, when she meets the Other Alteans:

[Season 3, Episode 4: Hole in the Sky, 14:37]

She assumes that they have good intentions, therefore she helps them get the comet.

The second time in season 5, episode 5: Bloodlines, when she says this:

[Season 5, Episode 5: Bloodlines, 04:44]

Here, Allura is being naive because she assumes Lotor's and Kuron's intentions to be good, despite witnessing them both going behind her back to have Lotor gain massive power (power that he can use against her). In fact, she exhibits naive behaviour all through the episodes until season 6, Episode 4, when Lotor's plan is revealed, and she admits it herself that her naivety was beneficial to Lotor in episode 6:

[Season 6, Episode 6: All Good Things, 05:06]

And unfortunately, what you described, Allura being hopeful and desperate, can lead to naivety, and does make her more susceptible to manipulation, as you also state here:

at this point the paladins did not present any other better plan and the voice of sound in the group was absent leaving her and the rest open to manipulation

And in fact, Allura says the same thing in season 8:

[Season 8, Episode 1: Launch Date, 01:46]

So, it seems we're in agreement that they were all manipulated, much for the reasons you stated. And Allura agrees:

[Season 6, Episode 6: All Good Things, 05:13]

I am not reprimanding Allura for being manipulated, because, as you say, she was backed into a corner, and she was also being manipulated by someone she trusted a lot (Kuron); nor am I imparting any moral judgement here. I am simply observing that these new characteristics, her naivety and her lack of confidence, benefit her manipulator, who is Lotor in this case (and Kuron, as an agent for Haggar).

As for my own personal preference, I do prefer her characterisation in season 1-2, not only because that is what we were presented first, but because I, personally, find it more compelling and interesting. I have read many female characters before, who doubt their abilities and only seem to gain more confidence through encouragement by a male character (usually their love interest), so to be presented with Allura the way she was in seasons 1-2, I found it very refreshing.

If you disagree, that is totally fair and I respect that. As I said, that is all personal preference, and you are completely entitled to your own opinion.

I hope I cleared some things up!

ALLURA’S REGRESSION IN MATURITY

I remember a rumor after season 3 came out that Allura was originally written to be Shiro’s age in the first two seasons, but her age was lowered to match the other paladins in season 3 so that she fit in more as a paladin. Well, I found some evidence of this:

Shiro and Allura as equals

Firstly, Allura is seen in season 1-2 mostly sparring intellectually and emotionally with Shiro rather than the other (younger) paladins:

[Season 1, Episode 5: Eye of the Storm, 09:09]

Here we have Allura “sparring” emotionally with Shiro, again, and also a quite sweet moment where he takes her hand. We saw everyone surrounding her when she collapsed by the controls earlier this episode, but here, she is alone with Shiro, and discussing her worries with him only. He also discusses his worries with her. 

[Season 1, Episode 10: Collection and Extraction, 04:15]

Her insistence here is reasonable. She used her previous knowledge of Galra supply lines as a reason, whereas in Season 3, she didn’t have much of a reason at all, only a desire to see if there were any Alteans there.

Shiro agrees to have her on the mission, because he sees her reason and can’t argue against it. I don’t think he even really wants to, recognising that her knowledge is invaluable to their mission. The only reason he looks at Coran while shrugging is because Coran looked to him for help to let her stay back, due to his overprotectiveness. Shiro enables her and respects her as a member of the team, just like the others, and he sees her as an equal.
