VLD7 spoilers ahead:

I liked a lot of stuff about this season, but i hated a lot of it too: 

- Hunk finally has the arc he deserves, his characterization is extense and I’m really happy with how they portrayed it, he was awesome, Hunk brought the team together, his interactions with keith were great and he was really cute, hot and inspiring;  - Romelle was portrayed as a really relatable character and she was really fun to watch, I loved every scene she was in;  - Pidge also had their moments, their family had a lot of characterization, we gt to see they metting their family and it was sweet and meaningful, Pidge was really badass in a lot of scenes an it was awesome; Pidge wasreally really cute in the whole season too;

-KOSMOS WAS THE BEST BOY EVER, HOW DARE THEY HURT THE DOGGY, YOU DON’T HURT THE DOGGY;

- The art was amazing, I was baffled with it, everything looked so neat, the fighting scenes were so well animated, I was completely awestruck;

- Keith trusted Lacne to lead the team momentanly and it was sweet, Keith acknowledging Hunk was also one of the cutest parts of these season, Hunk deserved this;

 - So. Many. Hot. People. I was fauning after everyone, Allura was really hot, Romelle too, Hunk was soooo hot in some scenes, I was thirsting so bad guys. 

 - Shiro’s prosthetic was beautiful, it didn’t hide his disability, it made his disability an advantage and it was beautiful;

 - HUNK AND LANCE’S FAMILIES WERE SO BEAUTIFUL, I GOT SO EMOTIONAL ON THOSE PARTS;

 - The micy & kosmos saving everyone cause Coran is too much of a gorgeous man to work alone;

 - The paladins in their lions with their companies, Pidge highkEY ignoring everyone to play videogames and then having to deal with everyone’s nightmare xD;

 - Lance’s interactions with Romelle were adorable, she’s so funny;

 - Keith being able to have SHiro back was beautiful, I’m so happy for them;

 - VERONICA MCCLAIN WHERE DO I GET A PIECE OF THAT;

 - Shiro and Keith leadership scenes wer awesome, Keith has matured so much, I’m really pround of him;

 - Sam HOLT TAKING OVER EARTH;

 - tiny Keith was adorable and the first episode as really enjoyable, it felt like a follow up to season 6, it was meaningfull;  - Everything (plot wise) from ep 7 to the part where atlas randomly turns into a big-voltron was quickpaced but enjoyable,the earth episodes were the coolest of the whole show for me and I loved the traitor plot they put in there;  - The hinted at alien lesbians;  - Coran was so silly and cute, i loved him;  - The ‘‘lets torture pidge cause they are the weak of the team’‘ part was really cool and i loved it;  - The garrison cadets were awesome and I loved them all, (keith’s former bully was kind of a bitch, and his manerism gave me a lot of keith vibes but I liked him a bit) The mute undercut guy and the smart yellow freckled person were awesome and I loved themm. BUT  - The whole season was kind of a confusing development. The first episodes were really slow and boring, they wasted time on stuff that didn’t matter, the paladins randomly appeared on other planes of existence because of a space thing they didn’t even explain properly;  - The filler episode wasn’t nearly as enjoyable as the one in season 6, they called and portrayed Lance dumb, multiple times, when every other paladin did fairly well. The most enjoyable time was when they showed the importance every paladin had to each other and how all of them thought they mattered to each other (I don’t buy Keith’s bitching, actions are worth more than words);   - God Allura who came out with random convenient magic for every bad situation was really weird for me, has been since last season.. ressurecting lance and shiro, ending stuff with the power of quintenssence just because... well, it was kind of a low point for me;  - Again, Atlas wasn’t build to be a big voltron so it made absolutely no sense that it turned into one by God Shiro’s powers?;  - As a lowkey allurance shipper, that was really low for me because it came of nowhere. Allura didn’t like Lance like that, there were no signts, she was sad when she found out about his feelings, both Allura and Lance deserve better than that;  - Lance, in the last seasons had had almost no screen time at all, he has been made into a joke and it was no different this season. He had really good moments, Keith trusted him as a leader, Lance has really awesome in some moments but because we were promised screen time for Lance and because this has been going on for so long, I’m disappointed he didn’t got better;  - The Klance QueerBait: Im disappointed but not surprised; The one that hurt me the most was when they were drifting in space (for no good reason) Lance said Keith ‘’maybe shouldn’t have even came back’’ when Lance was the loneliest in the ship after Keith went away. Lance was utterly alone and felt the worst at those moments. I know it wasn’t from the heart but it hurted me and I don’t know how to deal with it given the rest of these last seasons;  - Acxa x Keith was the most disapointing thing I’ve ever seen, they had no interest on each other, they had no conection whatsoever, they have nothing between them and I really hope she’s Keith long los sister because if not, I’m not going to watch this happen;  - Shadam/Adashi: Well, voltron you really fucked up on this one.   I think the worst was how much you advertised this, you made us feel like we had a guaranteed gay relationship and then ripped it from us for what? shook value? When all the heterosexual relationships went fairly well? But you didn’t advertise these heterossexual realtionships like you did with adashi so what was the problem? Also, you could say it was not queerbait cause Shiro is still lgbt but why would you rob Shiro his fiancee? Like rena said on twitter, Shiro has suffered so much and everyone returned to their families, had their happy ending, but shiro has ptsd, was tortured, died, and returns home to be alone. You didn’t even say they were planning to get married on the show, if you didn’t watch the enterview, you wouldn’t even know they were planning on getting married. But no, his dead was fast and meaningless, he didn’t got anymore flashbacks, we got nothing else about him, you did’t spend more than 5 seconds mourning him, it was empty and careless. We don’t know anything else about adam, you used him to get your lgbt coverage and that’s why you queerbaited us. And you know what is so sad? You were there when some of us watched the first episode, you saw how happy we were about lgbt representation, you saw us yelling and crying in happiness and you ignored all of it and followed a trope we’ve been watching again and again and again and again.

You know, I wouldn’t have been so sad if there were at least some other interactions between them, or memories/flashbacks about them. But you used Adam as your head line when he became nothing but a footer line on the show. You advertised the relationship you knew would be the most important to us before destroying it And you know what hurts the most? You mourned and cared more for the white women that almost killed the entire human race by not listening & being arrogant that you did for Adam, the gay POC character that gave his life willingly and needlessly to save his planet. Her dead had so much intensity, she had time to speak and try to redem herself, she was made into a hero. We didn’t care about that bitch, she was a rules-lover, selfish women that didn’t know anything about zarkon or the galra but still thought Shiro & Sam & everyone else were wrong in how they were approaching the enemy. We all knew Zarkon would end earth with or without lions and she couldn’t accept that, she was an arrogant twat and you treated her like she was  the best person ever because she sacrificed herself after being proved wrong. And being cruel: I wonder what they told the families of the ones she, the hero,  send to their deaths when everyone told her it was the wrong decision.  You mourn that women like an hero, and you treat Adam, our hope for canon representation, the symbol of our identity, the hopes we had on this show since the begining, as a footer. I hope you give us something about Shadam/Adashi in next season, if you want us to stay, if you want us to respect you again. I’m more than happy with some flashbacks from Shiro and a deep meaningful conversation, I’m happy with anything that makes their gay relationship strictly visible because that what was you showed us was going to happen and that wasn’t what you gave us, you own us an apology. Shiro and Adam deserve better.

So everyone knows the story if this and how it came true, right? If not let me sum it up.

Basically this is a piece that Lauren drew(I believe) where so far two of the three came true.

Pidge was revealed to be female and Allura was the first to know and whatnot.

Next, Keith was reviled to be part galra and who was the first one to accept him?

Hunk

So there was this theory that lance was going to come out as Bisexual in the future and shiro was going to be the one that first ‘accepts’ him.

So now after the whole stream thing at wherever it was (I have no idea) it was revealed that Shiro has (or Had) a significant other who was named Adam who was MALE.

So there is most likely two options for what is going to happen.

Either the positions are going to be switched and Lance is going to be the one who 'accepts’ Shiro,

OR

since it is now cannon that Shiro is queer, he may help out lance with his sexuality.

Idk

Just a theory I had.

[enaxii]

just a thought, but im pretty sure that haggar was the one who sent the mech at the end of s7.

so first, we know that the mech was powered by an altean. presumably, the altean is from the colony. now, the only people who know the colony exists and where it is are lotor, voltron, bom and haggar. haggar was watching through shiro’s eyes in season 6 when romelle explained all the stuff about the colony, so she knows that the colony exists and how to get there.

another thing that struck me during that fight was how similar the magic the mech used was to druid magic. 

take a look -- the first is allura vs haggar in s2, and the other is voltron/atlas vs mysterious mech. the magic they used seems pretty similar.

maybe it’s just me, but i thought it’s an interesting idea

I’m gonna tag spoilers #vld7spoilers.

I’m staying up to watch it when it drops at 2:00am cdt so I won’t be spoiler free. In fact I’ll be screaming and screeching and bouncing off the walls so definitely block if you don’t want it spoiled. To my fellow Lotura shippers, stay strong and keep the faith!

I’m so excited I’ve gotten a headache.

[cainyourkids]

do u think shiro will reunite with adam?

nope. I don’t say that as a committed sheith shipper, but as someone who has seen shiro’s development over the series, the strength of his bond with the rest of his teammates and just the plain fact that some people are not wired for each other no matter how much they care and love one another. I’d want to see closure, definitely - perhaps even friendship but romance? nope.

[enaxii]

just look at him go!

[cainyourkids]

i don't like what adam did. what he did was wrong. im not gonna say abusive because it wasnt but it was just wrong. but i read your fic anyway because i know you're a good write from your sheith fics and you're not gonna be half assing your story and i was right. i still think what adam did was wrong but ur context in ur fic makes it easier for me to see him as a human being. Flawed, but still human and you made him realistic. really good

Thank you for being honest with me, anon! I really appreciate that - and I really appreciate you taking a chance with my fic despite your personal preferences. That means a lot to me!

I tried to give Adam background and context - personally, I really don’t think you give someone you love an ultimatum out of the blue and I really think that this has been something coming for a long time, snowballing into something bigger. “I can’t go through this again”, it’s the ‘again’ that makes me think what really happened that pushed Adam to do what he did. I’m still torn over it as I can see where both camps (those who defend Shiro and those who defend Adam) are coming from, but the point of the fic wasn’t to change people’s minds. It was just storytelling to give background to what had been a very vague scene to me. =) which will be jossed once S7 begins.

Thanks so much for reading the fic and leaving your thoughts here. I really appreciate it!

[cainyourkids]

I read your sheith and shadam fics and they are all so gooood! how do u do it? u make them so realistic and believable and your angst and prose always feels like a punch in the gut!

Thanks so much for thinking so, I honestly don’t knowanything about them being good haha but I’m really happy you’re enjoying them.VLD has really pushed me when it comes to writing, more than the other fandomsI’ve been in has and I think it’s because it’s such a big fandom??

[cainyourkids]

Hey! I just finished reading your Shadam fanfic, and wanted to tell you how much I loved it. It was so damn well written, it even came across as poetic at times! Your narration style is beautiful, and the way you were able to connect all the dots was amazing. I really enjoyed the characterization as well, it felt so freaking real, I adored it. Thanks for taking me on a roller coaster of emotions, can’t wait to read your next work! Keep being awesome 💕👏🏼 don’t even know how to tumblr tho

Hi! Thank you so much for saying so – and I’m really happythat I managed to get across the emotions and the dynamics between Shiro andAdam. I really think it was a great, or at least good, first try for a non-Sheith fanfic and maybe the reveal duringthe SDCC (+ the entire weekend filled with feels) really helped bring that out.I hope it was a good roller coaster of emotions?? And no worries on the tumblrthing – this is my 5th one and the 3 of my other tumblr profiles Igot locked out of for some reason so high-five tumblr newbies!! Thanks so muchfor dropping this message here

[cainyourkids]

it's been 3 days, I haven't slept at all and Shiro is canon gay/queer/m|m my water is cropped, my fed is goat, my cleared is acne and I am living. what a time to be alive

[cainyourkids]

hi can i get a link to that shadam fic?

lol sure thing anon hyg

https://archiveofourown.org/works/15385512

(i make no promises of you enjoying it lol)

[cainyourkids]

I read your shadam fic and it was really good! I like how you really made him and shiro more human and relatable and even though you're a committed sheith shipper, you still manage to really capture shiro and adam's relationship really well and it's not biased towards one or other. im really enjoying your fics, you have this gritty sense of realism and you're not afraid to put weaknesses to your characterization uwu thanks so much!

Wow, thank you so much for saying so! I was really hesitant about that fic because it was the first fic I wrote that wasn’t Sheith, but I also thought of how much of the Shiro we know is partly because of that relationship as well. I get it, though - people drift apart and no matter how much they love each other, some relationships still fail and not even the fondness can keep it together. I tried writing it in a way that was honest? Like at the interval of the fic, we know Shiro just started getting to know Keith so I tried keep it neutral/platonic for it since I HC Sheith developing over the 1-year absence and the entirety of VLD and the instigator here was more on Keith than Shiro (unlike the Shiro/Adam thing). Anyway - thank you so much for reading and enjoying (?) them! It’s really nice to hear for a newbie VLD fanwriter like me lol

[cainyourkids]

As a sheith shipper, if sheith does happen, I will be happy but I would also want it to happen naturally and with closure. Sure, we can hate on Adam all we want for holding Shiro back but you don’t get to be that close with someone (Shiro/Adam) on whim alone - there was something strong there and maybe the disease and the mission got in the way of that. It’s easy to paint someone as the villain and to see things in black and white and not look at the greys because it’s easier to say that Adam didn’t love Shiro but it would be harder to even admit that maybe Adam did love Shiro, as much as Shiro loved Adam, but love isn’t always enough. For someone like Adam, who knew what was going on with Shiro and knowing that he’d be far from his S.O. while he goes off on his mission is a deal on hurt that we can only imagine (Dear John, anyone). We don’t know the entire thing yet - maybe there was a reason why Adam couldn’t go, maybe their relationship had been starting to crumble - there are a lot of things still up for discussion, but my entire point here is that:

A. For something like a romance to happen, it has to be natural and not at the expense of character development. B. For sheith to happen, I think the best way for it is for Shiro to get closure on the Adam issue.
