Group C Round 1

[image ID: the first image is of Bob Sparker, a man with a long pointed nose, with short, light colored hair, wearing a suit and tie. he's holding a microphone and is standing on stage in front of a crowd. the second image is of Kirinda, a robotic eye attached to a mechanical stalk in a futuristic-looking room. the closed caption on the image says: "thank you for the description." in all capital letters. end ID]

Bob Sparker

Bob is a guy who runs a gameshow called shock till you drop, where he straps people in an electric chair & increases the amount of electricity until the person gives up. He constantly shocks himself with the chair & seems to be able to withstand any amount of electricity. In fact, it seems to energize him, and he even stood on a lightning rod during a storm with the purpose of getting struck. Apparently (don't quote me on this) he was partially the inspiration for both Mettaton of Undertale and Spamton of Deltarune.

Kirinda

Kirinda is a "space-time transmitting machine" in the shape of a giant kirin. His job is to take the main characters to Novel Worlds (worlds that contain every story, myth, or legend ever created by humans) so that they can figure out what's corrupting them, and then he comes in at the end of the episode to clean up by purifying the monster responsible. However, he is no ordinary giant robot. He is sentient and speaks to the titular Rangers (with the world's most hokey and out of date Kansai/Southern accent to boot) through a camera shaped like an eye, and is often the one explaining the story of the world the characters are going to visit, as well as choosing which characters are going by the way of a roulette... which may or may not be complete bullshit. You see, while his role is incredibly important, he is very irresponsible and is constantly just dropping the characters off in a haphazard, dangerous manner without finishing explanations, screwing around with the roulette just to see what will happen, teasing the other characters (or subjecting them to horrible puns) and generally being incredibly vague and unhelpful beyond the bare minimum job requirements. At the end of the day though, he does really like his job (so much that he gets very salty if his screen time is threatened), and when push comes to shove, will go above and beyond to make sure everybody is safe. ( he also has an incredibly catchy image song and everyone should go look up Kirinda Ondo! on youtube right now)

[klanceficatalogue]

Not so much looking for anything (tho super long, completed and kinda angsty fics would be great). I just wanted y'all to stop sleeping on Shut Up And Dance With Me by wittyy_name. If y'all can hype up Dirty Laundry (as it deserves) then you can hype up this 249K fic that had me feeling all sorts of things.

hii. first of all idk what u mean by hyping up dirty laundry we havent talked about that fic on this blog in actual years as far as im aware. and we have recommended shut up and dance with me many many times. 

imo since both of those fics are two of the most read fics on klance ao3 its not reallyyy necessary to promote them heavily. i try to recommend ‘hidden gems’ as it were as well as the popular ones. sorry for such a long response sjdhfg but thats kind of why we dont talk about those fics all the time! 

anyways heres some (pretty popular) long ones id recommend! - karri

Antidote by salineshots (17/17 | 121,900 | Explicit)

Based very loosely off of @eyugho’s lovebug AU, which I love more than anything?? Thanks to them for starting this wonderful AU!

Keith’s bitten by a lovebug, but this one doesn’t make him all cuddly. Instead, every moment he spends away from Lance is physically painful for him. That’s frustrating enough already without Keith having to hide his massive crush.

Lance just wants to help, but he knows that Keith doesn’t like to be touched. Also hiding a massive crush, because these two are horrible at communication.

This is a story about letting people in, and learning to let yourself be loved. Keith needs a lot of that.

Love and Other Questions by squirenonny (18/18 | 113,060 | Teen And Up)

One week after news of the Kerberos disaster broke, Pidge receives a new Mark–proof that Matt is still alive. She breaks into the Garrison to find him, only to find herself caught up in the fight for the fate of the universe.

Keith keeps his arms covered so he doesn’t have to watch Shiro’s scars compounding on his skin–but doing so means cutting off contact with his romantic soulmate, who greets him each morning with a new (and terrible) pickup line.

Shiro and Matt thought they were the luckiest people alive when they found out they were going to Kerberos together. But Shiro hasn’t seen Matt’s untidy scrawl on his arm in almost a year, and he has no idea if his soulmate is even still alive.

Lilac Sweet by Star_Gazing_Knight (94/94 | 349,002 | Mature)

Set after Season 2 Finale, stress and tension runs high as the Voltron Team spirals down into chaos trying to locate their missing leader. This causes a series of events which results in Lance being separated from the Team after he takes a hit from a Robeast while defending Keith.

As the team attempts to locate their missing two team members, Lance tries to discover his own way in the universe without the assistance of Team Voltron, and ends up in a place and position he never thought he’d be in.
