[disgruntled-screaming]

Season 8, Episode 5. Curtis so far has a total of five lines.

...

Takeshi, you could have gone for someone else. Someone who spoke more.

[obsessedwithtodoroki]

Summery:

The team had returned after Allura's sacrifice.

Feelings are running high, and they have to learn to cope with the loss of not only a friend but a member of their family.

[cockybusiness]

u heard about "matching eachother's freak"

now get ready for "matching eachother's vanilla"

[t0oth-r0t]

some silly voltron thoughts;

shiro is actually very goofy and fun around his partner (originally this was gonna be about adam but it could also apply to curtis)

around the team, he's their leader and a parental figure. he provides them with guidance and instruction, and he's a mentor. he's the black lion's paladin, but with his partner, he's shiro and that's so special to me guys

like imagine he's baking with his partner, he's wearing some branded apron he was gifted by the garrison as part of a consolation package, and they both have flour in their hair and on their noses.

whatever they were making ends up burnt but they laugh about it and order postmates instead, turning on a stupid horror movie and eating storebought cookies until they fall asleep on the couch.

it's one of the few domestic moments that shiro *really* gets to experience as a pilot, but more importantly it makes him remember he's in his fucking 20's. it gives him a chance to actually feel like it.

when he's around someone he loves (especially if it's romantic), he lets himself feel like he doesn't know what he's doing. and that feels so, so good. for once, he doesn't have to pretend all of his shit is together, and he can relax and act his age.

Voltron, as a series is amazing, but I can agree with other people, that the last couple of seasons were weak as heck

There were alot of times where it just made me sit back and go "yo wtf??" And just sit there in sadness as I thought about the wasted potential of the show

So here's a top 3 Voltron things we had in the show!

1. Adam. Oh gosh, I'm here for when I speak for most people that Adam was one of those characters where barely got to see any of them. (because he's dead) And too me, that's just messed up.

He's one of the shows cannon LGBTQ+ rep (along with Shiro), and just killing cannon representation off like that, is just No. WHY???

I wish we could have seen more of Adam, or even Shiro mention him earlier into the series with more of his memories/flashbacks, or even KEEPING HIM ALIVE!! Either way, we all wanted to see more of Adam, and it was really sad to just see his 4 or so minutes of screen time 😞

2. An actual Shurtis storyline. More on Shiro, here we are discussing his relationship with Curtis.

As much as I love Shiro's ending of his wedding and getting married to his husband Curtis, I can understand why some people were upset at this ending.

We never really saw much of Shiro and Curtis together aside from the wedding in the epilogue.

I feel like if they at least had some moments to showcase their relationship, or even flourish Curtis' character would be nice, as the ending of them getting married would make much more sense, and be more satisfying.

I've read some amazing fics on ao3 with Shiro and Curtis. Those fics honestly show what we could have had in the show, I feel like a good plotline for a Shiro/Curtis related plot/ subplot is them wanting to ask each other out or confining in eachother due to the stress off the war.

ANYTHING, just any plot between them would make Shiro's conclusion more satisfying.

3. A better character arc and ending for Lance.

Oh, good golly gee. Lance McClain. Where do I even start. Lance is, and always will be, my favourite character. He was honestly done so dirty by the creators ☹️

His ending of making him a farmer was not it. Like seriously, him settling down, having a simple life, and being a farmer when his lifelong dream was to be a pilot?? No. Just NO.

The rebound treatment, him getting treated like a rebound towards Allura. Honestly Allurance wasn't even that bad, if it was fleshed out more and we got too see more of Allura and Lance together, it could have been something. But the way they decided to execute it in the series itself was horrible.

Lance was a rebound, and Allura showed zero to no interest in him. Allura fell in love with Lotor, not Lance. Honestly, I feel like Lotor and Allura being together should have done some good in Lance's character arc rather than it being bad. It should have taught him to try to move on, or console in his friends, ie, Pidge, Hunk, even Keith etc etc.

Maybe this whole arc could have made him realise who he really needed was right infront of him all along. *wink wink nudge nudge*

Or possibly to realise his own self worth, and that he's more than just "a boy from Cuba"

I think they made him get with Allura beacuse he was such a "ladies man" but in reality he's so much more than that ☹️ He's a guy who values his friends and family, putting himself before others, and wanting the better for others, I wish they could have explored that in him more.

Obviously, there is SO much more I could cover, way much more, this doesn't even scratch the surface! But these are the top three ones that really just stick out to me.

I love voltron! This show is literally one of my favourite shows. It's not perfect, yes, but it's done what it could in it's two year running time, so sad it's getting removed off netflix 😞

[bleepzip]

these two

[voltronrubinaito]

“Curtashi this” and “Adashi that” what about a third option, because Shiro has two hands…

[thebetterbrogane]

more stupid things the crew has said w/out context but i actually reveal who said what

“I am a southern woman who is a whore for men.” -Keith

“Do we need to get Matt?” “We don’t have any room.” “He’s a twink, he’ll fit in the trunk” -Hunk, Lance, and Pidge in that order

“What’s a good topic for a conspiracy theory? NINE ELEVEN!” -Pidge

“Kendrick Lamar and Megan Thee Stallion should be awarded medals of freedom.” -Lance

“I’m gonna set off a firework in my living room” -Keith

“Wait, we’re doing a drill today? What about a hammer?” -Curtis

“That’s a lot of money you got there, are you drug dealing?” “Are you a cop?” long pause “…No.” -Ina to James

“You ate cunt!” “You ate WHAT” -Lance talking to someone who isn’t me, but I still interrupted anyway

“When you did paint-by-number as a kid, were you given lead paint?” -Pidge to Lance

[lisamanbit]

When my friend went to pass exam i quicly drew support art for her with Keith. After, another friend told about her exam and i drew Lance.

Curtis and Lotor for me

[stinkyvespepepe]

I hate the way people treat these three

they either villainize Adam, hate on Curtis, or ship Curtis with a random background character just to get him out the way

LET ALL THREE OF THEM KISS DAMN IT

and that means Curtis x Adam too not just shurtis and shadam

[audiiperson]

No because I love Curtis so much.

Like I would love for Adam to have survived, I do, but I love that they made it to where Shiro was able to move on. It doesn't seem fair to Shiro to bash him or be upset that he moved on. Adam left him because he didn't want to go through the heartbreak of possibly losing him and because Shiro wasn't taking into account how he felt about him applying to the Kerberos mission. And it's completely fair of him to have done that. But Shiro also should be able to be upset and bitter about it. When he came back to earth and learned of Adams death he was very obliviously distraught, but that grief isn't something they should make him hold onto. I'm so happy that they decided to have Shiro move on and heal. And Curtis doesn't have to have more screen time for them to make sense. We don't really need an explanation on why they got together or how.

Be happy for Shiro and stop shitting on Curtis please😭

[ssasides205]

had a realization that's making me insane but we as a fandom weren't angry enough abt sunshades

also, this is entirely related, so I'm dragging them here too, but the voltron fandom was not angry enough abt Shiro's sudden gayness

now, the similarities are these:

both were retconed gay during the second half of their series

both were given their "endgame" romantic interest at the very end of their series (yes I know TOA exists now, but it came out in 2016, 2 years after BOO)

both fandoms became really weird abt those who dared to have shipped the character with a girl (Nico was canonically gay for longer than Shiro was in their respective media, so it's very rare to see those old ships, but they exist all the same)

both fandoms were all too happy to start extreme shipping them with their last minute love interest (the voltron fandom latched to Adam so hard it makes the sunshades seem tame, Curtis way less so)

the differences:

the voltron fandom should've been angry bc Shiro hadn't had any buildup as a gay character (whatever shippers saw notwithstanding), the problem being that if the show had gone with it's original Shallura plans (I saw this in like a commentary on how the show got made), they would've had to make someone else queer (for bait reasons), and they couldn't make hunk queer cause they did the whole thign with Shay, and Pidge was the youngest so like,,, they couldn't make keith queer cause he's the only "white" character and therefore has to be the token straight protag, and if they made Lance queer without makign klance happen I think something would've exploded.

so last minute gay shiro, burry your gays trope included! but oh, don't worry, he gets married to this random two seconds background character in the end!!

the PJO fandom, on the other hand, went through more than half of HOO watching Nico and Jason be like thatTM and then just, acepted will? the same ppl who tell you valdangelo wouldn't happen cause they had only one interaction? those ppl??

what, they just took the 1.5 bit at the VERY END of BOO and ran with it? I know lack of representation was a lot worse back then, but if that thing came out now I don't trust y'all to call it out like you should

like, I remember spending that whole scene being like "who the fuck's this guy" cause I didn't register background characters unless they were plot relevant, and nothing about that scene was all that romantic either

it makes me so angry, and when they announced the show I hoped they'd make it as close to the books as possible bc then maybe more ppl would see it two, but apparently Riordan added to the first series post-fact? and the tv series is already making changes?? and they'll probably work sunshades into it earlier bc of TSATS but gods, even if they don't it might still not happen, bc y'all just settle for scraps.

anyway, sorry for the rant, I jsut wanted to get it off my chest, and sorry if I offended y'all, I just think you deserved better.

[rileyh20]

I need to stop making my favorite characters genderfluid, help

[keithkog]

SO UH MATT JUST CAME OVER AND TOLD ME SHIRO AND CURTIS ARE GOING INTO SPACE??? Like I thought Shiro was absolutely done but no this is apparently a good third year anniversary trip- I’ll have to go see them before they set off.

I was a little surprised when Shiro got married, the two had been dating in secret on the Atlas. Literally none of us knew except Coran, it was crazy.
