Unpopular opinion but.....
I stand with my last post but I also just want to say that I am not here for any of the hate the cast, crew and writers are getting. If the show didn’t end how you wanted it to then yeah that sucks for you but those people worked really hard to produce a product that they felt was best for everyone, including the storyline. I personally am slightly let down by the ending but that in NO way gives me the right to give the creators and VA’s death threats. Yeah people are getting DEATH THREATS! that’s crazy! All those lives worked day after day to produce something for you! And because the show ended in a way you don’t like you are going to unnecessarily hate on them? This post isn’t directed to anyone in particular and please don’t take this personally if you are let down by the ending because there is nothing wrong with that. This post is for those in the fandom that seem to have taken things to far. This show is important and has meaning and I understand that but so do the lives of the people behind the screen! Let’s try to be kind! We should be grateful for the beautiful ride we got to experience through this show! Spread kindness, please.
Paladin style
Pidge is such a wild card when it comes to... pretty much everything, really. Some days she’ll be rocking flannels and snapbacks like the hardcore lesbian bby she is. But then the next thing you know it’s a spinny green dress and heels. You never know what to expect, but she completely owns everything she wears.
Shiro, on the other hand, always seems to be wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Once in a blue moon you’ll get a button down or a black varsity jacket/sweater but he’ll only ever change up his style if Allura forces him.
Keith is a beanies and flannels and bomber jackets kind of guy because he’s suCH A HIPSTER UGH. But he’s also such emo trash i mean can we get some skinny jeans and MCR tees? he’s still not over them breaking up
Hunk doesn’t really have a style, it’s more like whatever feels the best that day is what he’ll wear. He loves big cozy sweaters and tank tops and hoodies, hoodies galore. He likes puffy vests, cargo shorts and he refuses to go anywhere without his hairband/wrap/tie thing. Only Lance has ever seen him without it.
Lance is slightly obsessed with snapbacks and routinely steals them from Pidge, to her everlasting annoyance. He typically wears shorts or jeans and one of those sleeveless muscle tees, but you bet your sweet ass if you give this boy some booty shorts he will pop and lock it like nobody’s buisness. also croptops
A Voltron Rant
In Voltron season 8 episodes 9 & 10.
The old Paladins meet their predecessors and each talk to them.
Battle skills, entities inside them, kindness, their relationship with their daughter, their leadership skills because of their lineage.
Lance wasn’t the only one thrown under the bus, Keith was to.
Keith: “no we won’t give up!”
Zarkon: “that’s your galra lineage. It’s what makes you a great leader of Voltron. You and I share that trait...”
I just sat there like “so your putting all of Keith’s leadership abilities on his heritage, so what about Shiro?” Where’d the character go? Oh wait with season 4.
Like yes Galrans are good leaders (Lotor, Sendak, Ranveig, Zarkon -before the quintessence poisoning-, Kolivan) but still it kinda just sucks that he got all his leadership skills stuffed into the fact of being Galra.
I would have loved it if it was something like ....
Zarkon: that’s what makes you a good leader your undying love for your family, friends and fellow Paladins.
I would have cried if that was said because it was probably true for Zarkon just as much as it is for Keith.
Me: I’m tired of Keith being the main character in every season when the rest of the characters desperately need more character development!!
Season 6: What if we gave you soft moments with Keith’s gorgeous mum, including tender flashbacks that show Keith’s tragic background and how much his parents truly loved him.
Me: ....that’s cool but still-
Season 6: How about fully explaining Keith’s relationship with Shiro and using the most breathtaking animation and devastating lines to really make you feel the love and pain between them.
Me, sniffling slightly: No, uh, that’s totally cool but-
Season 6: There’s flashbacks to tiny Keith looking up to Shiro, the only person who believed he was a good kid with a bright future, he just needed someone to not give up on him.
Me, discreetly wiping a tear: T-that’s definitely something I wanted, but you can’t deny-
Season 6: Alrighty then, how about we show how much Keith has grown by displaying his desperation and fear of losing the team and not being to do anything, accompanied with contrasting close-ups of his friends scared faces and Keith’s cracking frantic voice as he called out for these people that have now become his family. We’ll even throw in the culmination of his development to becoming the team leader by showing how he listens to everyone’s opinions/plans but they all listen to him without question to execute each move perfectly, creating a more powerful Voltron because their love for each other is so strong.
Me, all out sobbing: I’m so proud of my boy and who he’s become!!!!!
