So... “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” is a bop, right?

It’s firmly supplanted “Let It Go” as Disney’s latest ear-worm until the next one comes along but it’s more than just a catchy ballard. It spells out how the Family Madrigal view him as a blight on their family name, especially when they’ve been a pillar of their community.

It also describes how rather than dealing with his problem and maybe helping him through it, they opted to just let him retreat into his room never to be seen again. Better to sweep it under the rug. However, this also proves to be a root in while the house is coming undone.

The message is clear: a family can’t stay as one so long as they can’t talk about their problems with each other. It’s why Mirabel doesn’t get a gift so she can be the outsider looking in.

Where is this going? Well... somebody just finished Voltron: Legendary Defender... and enjoyed it.

Here me out before you scroll away.

I had finished up to Season 7 along with Teen Titans three days before Season 8 dropped. I knew that fandom discourse would be a bear and opted to let the season simmer before I viewed it for myself a few Watch Lists down the road.

What I couldn’t have known was this overwhelming hate for Season 8. I was on Twitter where handles were being altered to include #FuckVoltron and the like. I glimpsed spoilers of what happened in the finale without getting into the dirty details.

Thus I decided to put it off until the heat died down. A whole half decade at that. With Fandom Drama down to near non-existent, I decided to return and engage with Voltron on its own terms from the start. No shipping drama, no expectations for how it should go, no accusations of problematic behavior and no Purple Lion conspiracies.

And... I liked it. I highly encourage those scared off by the drama or felt Season 8 did it dirty to give it a(nother) shot. It deserves a full on renaissance the way Twilight got.

Why? (spoilers ahead).

I was sold on Allura and Lance’s relationship. I loved how he went from being a flirt to genuinely admiring Allura as a leader and Paladin, encouraging her in the season 4 finale without trying to get anything out of it.

I liked the tonal shift around Season 7 where the ultimate Golion homage is made with the Space Explorers coming home to a war ravaged Earth.

I liked how human Lotor and Honerva were as villains coming after Zarkon. I can see why there’s a whole ass conspiracy framed around him actually being in Season 8. Also them taking that “Your mother was an Altean bitch” like and running with it for Hagger was brilliant.

Keith becoming the Black Paladin after Kuron’s reveal was well done and felt weirdly natural in retrospect. He feels like he can’t measure up to Shiro and learns more discipline from

Allura sacrificing herself to restore all realities felt a lot better with the knowledge of spoilers. It helps that the ending went with a more noble feel than angsty, showing how the Paladins strove make sure that her actions set an example for years to come.

I love that they got creative with the multiple alien species and kept the Alteans from being just humans in space like in the original. It really took inspiration from Vehicle Voltron with more aliens in the mix.

Shiro the Hero, as Crazy Coran put it. What can I say except that he’s the kind of character you call a Mary Sue if he wasn’t a guy. Always calm, always perservering, putting the mission first and being a pillar the team can lean on. He even creates his own Voltron out of the Atlas

Honestly, the whole Adam thing isn’t something I fully blame the writers given the producers pushing back. Mind you, I feel like Keith would’ve made a good endgame pairing with him if they had even out their ages when they first meet, both as teenage proteges.

Studio Mir was amazing, especially with the space battles. Honestly, if Robotech managed to make a comeback, I could totally see them being tapped to match the classic Anime style.

So... yeah. Voltron good actually.

I've spent the past week watching Voltron: Legendary Defender and I just finished season 7. I vaguely know how it ends from spoilers on my dash when the series ended but most of it is still a mystery so please don't spoil anything!!

Mostly, I'm just glad I waited until now to finish watching it. Back when it first came out, I kept up with it for the first 4 seasons. At that point the fandom just got too toxic and it seemed like all I would see about the show was complaining or about how "fans" were harrassing the family members of voice actors. So I dropped it. But watching it now after I've had time to let the old fandom expectations from 2016-2017 go, it is so good so far!!

Yes, I have some issues with the show. One being how overlooked Hunk was up until season 7. It's funny, the fandom (at least the part I was exposed to the most) really wanted to make Lance out to be the sad, overlooked and under appreciated paladin that was the butt of all of the jokes (and to a degree I can get behind that) but I feel like the writers treated Hunk that way throughout the first 6 seasons.

I'm just really glad I was about to watch it without seeing a bunch of negativity over little things or unmet fandom expectations. If you are thinking about watching it but have been holding off due to fandom drama or whatever, I highly recommend it. I'm not a fan of space shows usually but this one has kept me on the edge of my seat, especially throughout seasons 5-7. You should give it a shot. It's a fun series about space lions and it deserves some more love.

[paladinships]

Those small klance moments though right?

The looks they gave each other. Voting for each other. Yelling to each other.

Much needed. Much loved.

Voltron S7 Spoilers

If you don't want the spoiler, don't read past this line.

__________________________________________

I saw it in the episode. I always watch shows trying to discover what is going to happen before it does. Because of that I'm always checking for little details like how Shiro and Adam weren't wearing rings in episode 1 but it looked like a picture of them together was in the living space so I knew they were close but I had no proof of the depth of their relationship despite what has been claimed and/or announced since the initial preview airing.

Due to this scrutiny, it was impossible to miss the identity if the underarmed pilot. I saw his face and I knew. I knew who he was and I still hoped. I tried to make excuses. Maybe the tint of the ship is changing his skin tone and he is paler than Adam. I can't see his hair well maybe that is different. Adam was a teacher they wouldn't send him up like this. My excuses were in vain and as I watched Adam die I felt sick.

I was so excited for Adam. As a character, he symbolized so much. The chance to see a relationship with him and Shiro would have been so inspiring for multiple generations of viewers who are so rarely represented as anything but cliches. With his death, we lost that chance. We never got a tender moment between them. We never had a validation in character of their history or relationship. Even in the small details there were no rings, no pictures in the background to indicate a proposal or even solidify a relationship. One picture in the living space of them kissing. One story from Shiro telling the paladins what Adam was to him. One tender memory between them or even a private moment for Shiro to mourn and state who Adam was to him. I'm sure there are rules about what they can and can't show, but as it stands there is absolutely no solid evidence within the actual show itself that cannot be written off. We have been told that Shiro is gay. We have been told he was dating Adam. I've seen video of this coming from Josh Keaton. But none of that was in the actual show. I've seen posts that apparently it was confirmed they were engaged. Also not in the show.

In the episodes we meet Adam. He and Shiro are in a customized living space implying that the area is not communal and there is a picture containing both of them. This heavily implies they live together, but you don't have to be in a relationship to do that. When they speak, it implies closeness. Adam states that he has been by Shiro's side through everything but he won't be waiting if Shiro comes back afyer taking the mission to Kerberos. There is nothing in this conversation that cannot be attributed to a longstanding friendship. Many of us took it as confirmation of a relationship, but if you really look at the facts it doesn't state it. Shiro has a disease and Adam has been by his side long enough to help deal with it. Assuming they are just friends, it is highly likely they would have developed some level of codependency. If that is the case, Adam's words no longer seem so impossible for just friends.

We were told we would have a gay character. We were told that Josh Keaton was proud that it was Shiro. I was too. I was so excited to see my community represented by someone so noble and strong. So respected. But it didn't happen. Whether it comes from actors or even the studio itself, if it is not in the canon content it will never be fully accepted as anything but theory. I wanted so badly to feel represented, but when you look at the bare facts of what the episode showed all we got in the end was a few moments to see Shiro's best friend before he died in a plane crash.

To me, that cuts deeper than anything because it is an erasure I have faced as have many of my friends. I've been told directly that my girlfriend was just my best friend. That I don't know the difference between dating and friendship if I think I can have that with a girl. That erasure is so prevalent and that is what we got from this season. We were told Shiro was gay and we would meet his ex-fiance. But I see no proof of that ever happening and the people who need to see that representation most aren't those who will hear the studio and accept it. The people who needed to see that representation the most are the people who have someone in their lives who will see their happiness at having an icon and wipe it away with the points I've made here.

Of course I wanted my perfect happy ending where Shiro and Adam hugged and made up. But this isn't about that. This is about the fact that there wasn't a single detail to prove their relationship that I couldn't refute in five seconds or less.

I saw the lack of details to prove their relationship. I saw the face in the fighter. I knew it was Adam and that he was dying before his relationship with Shiro could become irrefutable. I knew that when that happened we wouldn't get that proof from any opportunity that might arise as the season progressed. I have never held less of a desire to be right.

Don’t ever call yourself that.” “Why not? Everyone knows that I’m the dumb one. Bob kept saying it over and over, and he’s some kind of ancient being with godlike knowledge and power, so it must be true.” “That is absolute nonsense. Bob doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Only So an Hour

Okay so I’ve recently joined the Voltron fandom and I haven’t been able to find much Pidge angst (Pangst? Pingst? I don’t know. Tell me if you do) so I wrote some of my own. Basically, the idea is that she’s afraid she’s not worthy of being a paladin and that everyone she loves and everything she’s ever known will never be the same. The title is based on a poem I read in class once called Nothing Gold Can Stay by Robert Frost. 

(I don’t hate my writing in this, it feels a little scattered to me though.)

Also, here’s a deleted sentence that I really liked but deemed unfit for the mood of the piece: 

Whether true “normal” actually exists is the topic of a frequent debate between myself and literally no one, which is strange there’s no one to debate that with me but I’m honestly not surprised.

CONTAINS VLD SEASON 7 SPOILERS (in a sense)

It’s been a long time since everything was normal. A long time since I’ve got to sit down, and eat, and talk, and laugh, and listen to my home that is my family. The family I haven’t seen in years I thought were weeks. The family that thinks I’m dead, that I died defending the universe, died defending people we never knew existed. People we never would’ve known existed if not for the accident that ripped my world apart. 

When Matt went missing, I thought I knew pain. I thought I knew what it was like to have everything taken from me. And I did, in a way. 

What I didn’t know was what it is like to be the thing taken away. To have my world taken away because people are gone is one thing, but to have my world taken away because I am no longer in it is another. 

I’ve never cared much about what people think of me, but I still can’t help but wonder what the universe thinks of Voltron since we vanished. And when we show up again, will they be glad we are there or will they be angry we were not? 

When I found a problem I couldn’t solve based on a fact I didn’t know, Matt would tell me to find a common ground; something that I did know that would help me understand what I didn’t. In this case, it’s an equation - you can’t take an original equation, change it, and expect it to be the same when you’re done. 

I guess what I’m saying is... I’m afraid of my reality right now. I’m afraid that people will hate us for something we couldn’t control, hate us for not being enough, hate us for leaving everyone behind to burn, even if we never meant to. 

What does my family think? What do the people I met once in my life that never knew me think?

I’m afraid everyone will label me a coward, that I’ll be back to first base after dashing to home. Afraid that nothing I’ve ever done will mean anything in the face of life because it doesn’t, really. It never has. 

Will it ever?

----

So I talked to Shiro. He’s seemed a little tired lately, which makes sense because he’s been put into a new body and all that, but as always, he’s still there to support us when we need him to be. Shiro says that part of being a hero, of being a paladin, is doing things even when faced with fear. He says that sometimes, people aren’t afraid of losing their lives, but that they are afraid of change. Afraid that some variable in the complex equation that is life will be changed, and they will be forced to change as well.

I can’t say I disagree, but what does that mean for me?

----

I’ve talked to Lance too, now. I think he’s just as scared as I am. Scared that his family will be gone, scared that he won’t feel like he’s home when we finally get to Earth, scared that things will be different from the way they were. 

Lance is braver than people give him credit for and cared more than anyone dares to believe. Somehow, someway, he’s pushing on in the face of the fear of change that is so much greater than the fear of death, and somehow he is winning. 

----

It’s been a while, but I think I’ve figured it out. I’m scared not only of change, but of hoping that maybe things haven’t. Scared that I will have changed and nothing at home will, scared that I won’t belong in the place that has always been on the back of my mind. In the backs of all of our minds. 

But I’m not going to focus on that fear. I’m going to trust, I’m going to hope, that my family can take care of themselves. That the love that connects us is stronger than the fear that tries to drag us down in every minute of every day. 

And still, part of me doubts. Part of me wonders. And to that part of me, I say this: You will continue to wonder, because you will never know the answer to the questions you seek. If I cannot find a way, I will make one, and I will make it for the good of the entire universe, of all universes; not because that is what is demanded of me as a paladin of Voltron, but because I am choosing not to be afraid of what could be. 

----

I’m not going to be afraid of what could be. I’m going to fight for what is and not long for what was. 

I am smart, and brave, and good. And I will do whatever it takes to defend my family, my home, and all that lies within every universe, every reality. 

I am the Paladin of the Green Lion of Voltron, and I can’t go back to what was, but I can defend what is.

And defend it I will.
