#voltro/n has never been about the romance but if done with extreme care

and so here are my feelings on the bullshit

season 5 was acceptable, i liked it.  but it was pretty dumb in some areas, namely the trade off of dad holt and worst best boy lo/tor  they even knew they were gonna be double crossed, but the scene had to happen because plot so whatever i guess.

also keiths mom came out of nowhere, a little rushed, but keith had to get some development in this season so there it was. also she dont look fully galra at all, which, GOOD.  part of the reason that galra keith thing was so dumb was because of how human keith looked.  and even lotor looks like a galra when half of him is altean.  so it’d be great it if mama kogane there was half human or something just...not altean...that’d be way too much 

whats sad is that everybody got their time to shine except hunk, he’s been getting snubbed a lot in favor of other characters and its really not fair. so hopefully now that pidge found all of her family she’ll take more of back seat so theres more time for hunk to do something again  god please let him do something again  hunk is simply the best, do. not. waste. him . okay so next gripe 

shiro doesnt make any sense, i mean i guess theres a half assed reason for it that’ll be SUCH A JUICY TWIST, but i digress. He isnt normal when the plot demands it, and snaps back to his old self when the plot demands it, its messy and way too obvious.  fuck everythings way to obvious now,  i know it was too easy for him to just go back to the others and have everything go back to normal, but a lot shit turns out to be way too easy in this show  like getting matt and papa holt back without really any consequence in return  but thats really more me nitpicking  anyway, hopefully shiro is still actually shiro, and not some stupid clone thing ive been hearing the fan base cook up as their next galra keith theory  BECAUSE I SWEAR TO GOD, THIS HAPPENING TWICE IS NO COINCIDENCE.

and yeah, zarkon better be legit dead, beause he shouldve died in season 2  i wont accept any bullshit plot twist returns  and as a side note, i suppose lotor being the one to off him was better in the end, so yeah, stay down zarkon. 

so the things i really liked in this season was lance gaining stakes in the plot, no complaints there.  i mean he was building on importance last season too but it was a lot more interesting this time around, so go lance. i liked the fleeting moments of fun in this season, even if it was a super unimportant sub plot  the main cast is really likable so there should moments where they just have fun  ie the fun bot  he will be missed  also “paladudes” is so fantastic im gonna start using it. 

okay so on to the man himself,  Lo/tor i really like him now, i have no doubts he’s a villain, but he’s a pretty smart one (whenthewritingcallsforit) im thinking he’s probably got some control over shiro(?) that or haggar does, but i really dont know what shes thinking at the moment, imm guessing shes just trying to protect her son from all the beefy garlan commanders that’d beat his relatively twinkish ass into the dirt.  he’s too threatening and smart for him not to be the bad guy, so im really hoping he pulls a betrayal on team volt/ron  just for the tide of power to drastically shift when the time is right  it’d be  angsty as fukk come on  okay so one more thing  because im too lazy to really elaborate on my feelings so much  lo/tor and allura’s relationship took me off guard, i genuinely liked the development and it felt earned considering her hard feelings with keith in previous seasons. the take on the two of them this season was very interesting, and im just waiting for the heartbreak that’ll come from it 

oh sweet sweet angst.  so in other words, i ship it. whoopsie
