#voltron Rover

[chibi-pix]

You know what? I will live forever on the hill of AUs where Regris lives and befriends Pidge. And with thoughts, if a different/new blind Pidge AU comes up with twinverse, she would find Regris in the trash nebula instead of the rebels; she would meet them and Matt at another point in another situation.  So. Here I am with Pidge and Regris, Pidge introducing her new friends, including the trash floofs.  Also. Yes. For the background, I did a tracing of the background of the green lion’s hanger in season one, Crystal Venom. I didn’t know what else to do or how to go about it. 

Also, while not drawn? Pidge’s twin, Chip, is totally panicked because he wasn’t with her when she got yeeted through the wormhole. He would’ve probably been in the castle. 

Well, I hope y’all enjoy this one.  Until next time.

Immediately thought of this meme

Don’t bash Kosmo, Keith will fight you

[storyweaverofgondor]

This little droid was only in the show for five episodes and i still cry over it's death. Why did Voltron LD have to go so hard in making you care about a floating triangle?

i thought this meme was incredibly pidge-coded

[keithbutgay]

favorite voltron character go

do i even need to say it?

[j-esbian]

ok here is my hot voltron take in 2024*

it’s all right. it’s not a masterpiece but that’s ok. it holds up and i still think it’s fun

i feel like it suffered from a lot of factors while it was coming out. the rushed production (76 episodes in just 2 years), fandom expectations exploding and exceeding what the show had ever planned to do, the creators running their mouths and people putting more faith in word of god than what made it into the actual show, etc.

it’s not the pinnacle of television. i think a lot of people had high hopes when it came out; i remember a lot of folks talking about how the people who made it had worked on the last airbender, so they were expecting a similar caliber. i think a better analogy would be that this is a mech anime for western audiences where mech animes aren’t really a thing. but it struggled to deliver on that

i do think the biggest thing it suffered from was the production schedule. i still don’t understand why it was divided up the way it was, into a bunch of small, unevenly distributed seasons. there’s a lot of things that could have been executed better, but didn’t get developed in the way they should have. and the final product (for a lot of the character stuff specifically) feels like a line of tropes strung together rather than a coherent narrative, and the plot had very little thought put into it long-term (there’s almost entire seasons that give no screen time to haggar/honerva and like. maybe we could have spent a bit more time showing her pulling the strings and manipulating zarkon/sendak/etc. rather than Only focusing on them, in the seasons where they’re the villains). this is generally something i associate with things that lasted past their expiration date (like supernatural lol). i would have to look more closely into the development of the later seasons, because it really gives the impression they just had to run with their first thoughts and didn’t have time to flesh things out properly, especially in contrast to the seasons with lotor because they were almost cooking with that

for example, they almost sold me that allura had developed feelings for lance, but then in order to make it clear, they started making her all blushy and awkward around him because That’s A Trope People Understand That Means A Girl Likes A Boy, when that was really never who she was. they reached for it as shorthand to signal to the audience but didn’t really think too deeply about Who they were applying it to. the whole thing with shiro’s partner (and ambiguous autoimmune disease that exists only for one scene) would have been nothing if the creators hadn’t hyped it up so much beforehand, and if a little more time had been given and a little more care had gone into the scenes where that mattered, and if there had been literally any indication of it in the previous 6 seasons. they could have thought about how audiences would interpret pidge’s gender fuckery and done something to address that to avoid accusations of queerbaiting. it just added drama to season 1, they made a bathroom joke in season 2, and then forgot it was ever a plot point. whenever keith is on screen he’s the main character. he has the most developed arc out of any of the paladins (finding his family, becoming a leader, learning to not be such a loner) but again, whole swathes of episodes go by without him. and in his absence no one else really takes the spotlight. it just focuses on plot. hunk doesn’t really get anything to do until season 7, and it’s a very good scene where he’s jealous of lance and pidge for having their families back but it also feels like the first time he’s taken seriously in 60+ episodes. et cetera.

*big caveat that i just finished season 7, and season 8 was where i lost interest and never finished. i know The Big Thing that happened in season 8 and i can see where they were coming from. i’m sure they were thinking about doing a Big Damn Sacrifice and making some statement about the loss of the Old World to give birth to the New. i just don’t think they were mindful of 1) who they were sacrificing or 2) the fact that they were telling this story in the real world, where there’s countless other stories about black women being denied happiness in order to further someone else’s story. i don’t think this show Uniquely Hates Women because it has the same level of sexism that’s present pretty much across the board in modern sci-fi. they didn’t need to shoehorn in the romance but they clearly tried to be more mindful than the original (instead of Zero female paladins, there were two for most of the show.) they definitely had huge blind spots and i’m not excusing that but i do think that doesn’t cancel out everything else. it seems to be due to obliviousness rather than active malice. but again, i have yet to watch the final episodes

[mushed-kid]

they really got us attached to rover just to kill him after like one episode

[mibkid]

Listen through and through i like vld , Yes i know shocker!(it isn't, though i have only posted ONCE about it on here w art..but anyways)

So if there was anything about voltron it was that the show had some bomb ass edits made and put on youtube.

That fandom thrived on those. i swear.

I also swear there was this whole "everything black" edit that i watched over and over.... i can't find it now BUT THERE WAS and the transitions were good too.

Rover says hi!

[chibi-pix]

After drawing Katie as a young professor in a magical academy, I wanted more. And I've had constant ideas (but no writing yet). And this time, Katie performing a sort of risky spell to help Daniel out with something. And! We get Pidge! Katie's big brother! And a ninja! I loved the idea of putting him in ninja-like garb.

Anyway, I hope y'all enjoy this one! Commissions are available on my Ko-fi. Until next time!

Haxus is in the Central Energy Chamber of the Castle of Lions and speaking with Sendak through the computer.

"Powering sub panels" Haxus says, typing on the controls.

"Sub panel energy transducer is go" 

 "Aye, sir. Opening pathway to link with bridge. Initializing main cluster reboot." Pidge is climbing on a ladder on the wall to hack into the Castle's computer system through an open panel using the armour's computer.

"Gotcha" 

"Initializing complete. I'm set for main power up"

"The bridge is go" Sendak says.

"Powering up" Haxus powers up the engine; Pidge hacks it to overload the engine using her armour's computer.

"And up, and up, and up. I would not want to be touching a metal surface when this thing overloads" Alarms blare.

"Sir, something is wrong" Haxus says. The engine overloads and explodes in energy; Haxus is caught in the blast and wounded. Pidge grabs Rover as it hovers to avoid being electrocuted. Rover brings Pidge to Haxus "You're the one causing all this trouble? A child?"

"I'm not a child. I'm a Paladin of Voltron" Haxus laughs, drawing his sword.

"Let me tell you something, child. I'm a soldier of the Galra Empire. Nothing stops me but triumph or death" Haxus yells and battles Pidge. Pidge strikes Haxus with her grappling hook. He catches the rope and throws Pidge aside "Nowhere left to run. Nowhere left to hide." Haxus says, lifting his sword to strike Pidge. Haxus then hears a sound and looks at the controls to see Soul. With Haxus distracted, Pidge dives between Haxus' legs and throws him off-balance on the catwalk. Rover slams into Haxus to knock him over but Haxus grabs Rover to avoid falling.

"Rover!" Pidge shouts. Soul jumps onto rover and stomps on Haxus' fingers, trying to get him to let go, failing. Rover deactivates to let Haxus fall. Soul jumps into Pidge's arms "No!" Pidge rushes forward after Rover but is too late to grab the drone. Haxus and Rover fall to their end.

"No!" Haxus shouts. Pidge mourns Rover as Soul rubs her arm. Sendak interrupts through the computer.

"Haxus, report in" 

"Haxus is gone, and you're next!" Pidge shouts.

"You've slowed me down, but this ship is mine! You will turn yourself over to me immediately!" 

Never!" 

"Well, then, maybe your leader or friend can convince you" Sendak said. 

"What do you want?" Shiro asks, as he tries to protect Y/N. Trying to make due with his arms tied. He smirks "Nothing better than sibling love, they will do anything to keep each other safe" Y/N glares at Sendak "Your friend wanted to hear from you two, but maybe all I need is one" Sendak nods his head for a Sentry to grab Shiro.

"Leave her alone!" Shiro shouts, struggling.

 "Shiro? Y/N?" 

"Pidge? Pidge, don't listen to-" Sendak tortures Y/N using his prosthetic gauntlet. Y/N's bites her tongue, as to not scream.

"Looks like we have a fighter here. You'll do perfect in the gladiator fight" Sendak smirks. He continues to torture Y/N, turning up the power. Y/N couldn't hold it any longer and lets out her screams.

"Stop it! I'm the leader! Not her!" Shiro says, struggling.

"No!" Pidge shouts. Pidge closes her eyes, trying to drown out the sound of Y/N's screams.

"You can make it stop. Turn yourself in. Her suffering is in your hands"

Hunk and Coran stand with Shay and Ray in their home.

"Is your ship repaired that you may depart our presence?" Rax asks.

"Uh...Are you saying that you want us to leave?" Hunk said. 

"Yes" Rax says, arms crossed.

"Well, it's working, but we can't leave without the Crystal" Hunk turns to Coran "You come up with an ideas how to get it?" 

"Actually, yes." Coran says. Coran grins.

==

His plan is to disguise themselves as a Galra Sentry with Hunk as the legs and Coran wearing a helmet as he sits on Hunk's shoulder, both of them wrapped in a blanket. They can barely keep upright.

"I can't believe I'm the legs again. I'm the one who took down the guard. I should get to be the head" Hunk complains.

"Shh! Legs don't talk" Hunk and Coran approach two Sentries guarding the Crystal while wearing their disguise "Oh, hello, gentlemen, shift's over. Boss needs you back at the guard shack"

"Verify identification code" A Sentry says.

"Right. I didn't want to have to do this, but I'm going to have to pull rank. You guys are in big trouble, right? So, hand over those blasters and ID badges" The sentries take aim.

 "Verify identification code or be destroyed." The drone said. 

"Okay, okay. I've got it right...here!" Coran throws off the disguise. Hunk blasts the sentries with his Bayard cannon. Coran jumps off Hunk's shoulders and walks over to the Crystal, placing his hands on it; making it glow.

"What are you doing?" Hunk asks "We got to hurry!"  

"I'm not just going to pry this out of here like some Galra monster. The Balmera is a sacred being. You have to communicate with it. Let your life forces connect. This is the way it was done in our time"

"Whoa. You really know your Balmeras" Hunk says. The Balmera responds to Coran and exposes the Crystal entirely. The Crystal nearly falls over, but Coran catches it, injuring his spine in the process. He cracks his neck to look at a Hunk, his eyes wide open "........I think I'm broken" Hunk sighs; he hears the sound of laser blasters being armed and turns to see they are surrounded by Galra Sentries

"Augh...Okay, guys! All right, I hate to do this. Blasters and badges. Come on. Give them up" Coran falls over from pain. Hunk raises his arm in surrender, smiling sheepishly.

==

Pidge and Soul lurks near the entrance to the Bridge in the Castle of Lions and listens as Sendak speaks to Shiro, who has his head down. Lance lays near him, face up. Y/N lays on the other side, face down, severely injured.

"I'm impressed that you managed to escape. Perhaps it would be worth the trip to your planet to see if the rest of your kind have your spirit, as well as your sisters. Of course, they will all end up broken, just like you. Now that we have Voltron, every planet, every race, all share the same fate." Sendak says.

==

Hunk and Coran are locked in a cell on the Balmera.

"Quiznak! I can't believe they saw through our disguise..." Hunk and Coran hear footsteps "Someone's coming!" Shay appears carrying a Galra Sentry arm.

"Shay?" Hunk asks. Shay uses the Sentry arm on the cell scanner and unlocks the cell. The cell barrier disappears.

"Make haste to your pod. The Crystal is prepared for departure"

"How did you get the Crystal?" Coran asks.

"I was assigned to take it to the upper levels, but instead I took it down. Soon, they will discover my ruse. Time is short"

"Why are you helping us?" Hunk asks "You'll get in trouble"

"Because your words touched my heart. I wish for freedom for all Balmera. Perhaps your Voltron can make it so" Hunk looks determined. Hunk, Coran and Shay run for the flight pod. Rax meets them there with Sentries armed.

"No. Rax, why?"

"These two bring only trouble to our family. It was the only way to protect you" Hunk angrily readies his Bayard.

"No! The Balmera will save us"  Shay places her hand on the ground to contact the Balmera.

"Shay, no!" The Balmera responds to Shay and causes rocks to fall from the cave to crush the Sentries. Hunk, Coran, and Shay run for the flight pod. Some Sentries survive and capture Shay "Shay!"

"Go! Make haste!" Shay shouts.

"Let her go!"

"No, Hunk! We have to go!" Hunk hesitates, but more sentries and Galra fighter jets arrive. Hunk enters the Altean flight pod with Coran.

"I'll come back for you, Shay! I promise!"

"If we can't shake these patrols, we might be back here sooner then we want!" Hunk and Coran leave in the flight pod pursued by Galra fighter jets.

==

The Altean Mice infiltrate the Generator Room of the Castle of Lions and take out the last Galra Sentry guarding it. They press buttons on the control panel to deactivate the particle barrier.

==

Outside, Keith and Allura watch the barrier disappear/

"It worked!" Keith says.

"They did it!" Keith and Allura head inside the Castle.

==

Sendak sees Pidge on the computer of the Castle Bridge. He turns to attack and pursue her out of the Bridge. As Sendak runs out of the Bridge, the real Pidhge, alongside Soul, rushes inside the Bridge to speak to Shiro and Y/N. Soul jumps of Pidge's shoulder and nuzzles Y/N's head.

"Shiro, Y/N wake up. It's me, Pidge-" Pidge is caught by Sendak's gauntlet.

"You really thought your little hologram trick would work with me?" Sendak says. Keith and Allura enter the Bridge. Keith summons his Bayard to fight "Stand back!" Sendak is suddenly struck behind by Lance's Bayard rifle. Lance passes out again. Shiro rushes at Sendak and is knocked aside. Keith battles Sendak. Sendak throws Keith and Pidge severs the energy chain to his gauntlet, rendering it useless "No!" Sendak is enrages and battles Pidge. Allura accesses the Bridge's computer. Keith attacks Sendak again and Sendak catches his Bayard's blade. Allura readies the computer. 

"Keith, duck!" He does so and a Scythe knocks Sendak into the centre of the Bridge and a barrier rises up, trapping him. Keith is pushed back. He looks up to see Y/N, breathing heavily. She puts her Bayard away and turns to face Keith, a tired look on her face "We did it" She suddenly collapses, only to be caught by Keith. She's unconscious again. He shows a small smile.

"Yeah, we did it" Pidge frees Shiro and Keith brings Y/N over to Shiro, He instantly holds her tight as Soul curls up onto her stomach.

"I'm sorry I couldn't protect you" Shiro mutters. Keith frowns before going over to Lance.

"Lance, are you okay?" Keith asks, pulling him upright. 

"We are a good team" Lance says. He smiles, Keith smiles in return. Lance looks over at Y/N and frowns "It's my fault she was in the blast. I didn't cover her" 

==

Hunk and Coran are fleeing from Galra fighter jets on the Balmera.

"We can't shake them!" Coran says "We're not going to make it!" Hunk remembers the booster fuel Pidge installed and motions to press the button "Uh, it may turn us into a giant fireball"

"Maybe, but it's out only chance" Coran hesitates but sees more Galra jets approaching.

"Fine. Fire in the hole!" Hunk presses the button and the flight pod blasts into the sky. Coran cheers.

"We did it!"

==

Lance and Y/N are sleeping inside a pod. Allura, Keith, Soul, Shiro, and Pidge stand by them in the Sleep Chamber. 

"After a day in here, they should be fully healed" Shiro approaches Pidge.

"Pidge, we can't thank you enough for all you did. I can't help but feel that you were meant to be a part of our team... but I understand if you want to leave" 

"Dad used to tell me how close he was with his crew members. They were like family. Now I understand what he was talking about" Shiro smiles at Pidge "I'm staying with you guys. Let's stop Zarkon for all of our families" Allura and Keith also smile at Pidge.

"Good to have you back on the team" Keith says. Soul makes a noise from Pidge's shoulder, nuzzling into her cheek. Pidge smiles fondly at her team.
