For all fans of voltron

This is a message for everyone

After season 7 I will also leave the fandom .... but not for the reasons that you believe.

You want to stop watching the show because Klance is not canon ?! Because Axca could have a crush for keith ?! Because a character you liked without really knowing him is dead?!?!

Voltron Legendary Defender tells the story of teenagers and young adults discovering space lions and engaging in a war against aliens seeking to conquer the galaxy

This is not the FUCKING Love Story of Lance and Keith: The Serie !!

I understand that you can be disappointed but if on 13 epic episodes you remember only the elements mentioned above and that you go away because of that....

First, it's not you who decide the rest of the events of the show and then ... well ... GO AWAY !!! It will be good for everyone and Voltron deserves better as fans than aggressive idiots who are never happy of what they are given and whose only purpose is to see their ship become canon.

I'm sorry if I hurt more than one but some people should really question themselves (I'm talking to you) ... are you really REAL fans, I do not have the impression and if you want to leave like me, do it, but grow up and stop driving like spoiled rotten kids!

Dreamworks has brought you a great science fiction serie, BEAUTIFUL in the form, with endearing and intricate characters, epic battles, moving and funny moments, an eventful storyline and even a confirmed Lgbt couple for everyone to relate to... ( on 7 important characters ( paladins, coran and allura) one is canonically gay which is more than 14% of the group: it is perfectly realistic, not worth to imagine that all the characters are gay it would not have neither sense nor logic )...

..... and you are not happy, WORST you only see the evil and criticize it constantly.

Voltron owes you nothing and you are just ungrateful and aggressive towards the serie, the doublers, the staff and dreamworks that made you dream ...

I do not understand....

Feeling guilty

I don't know but I feel bad for shipping Shance when Shiro literally had (has?) a fiancé on earth... I'm like, "he's probably still in love with Adam... He's definitely still in love with Adam." But then it changes to, "I still ship Shance! Adam's probably in the past." Like, nothing can get in the way of Shance! Shance all the way!

I mean, I don't know if I should just ship what I like to ship or just slowly back away... To be honest, I might join some of the others and just ship Lance with Shiro and Adam.

before you all flip your shit

“they killed off our lgbt rep!”

adam isn’t the rep, shiro is

they briefly introduced adam so they could properly discuss him in season 8 when they have the time (it’s a common thing to see in tv shows and literature)

shiro didn’t stop being gay because he lost adam

adam’s death wasn’t pointles

“season 7 was disappointing”

hunk got the arc we’ve been waiting for

the galra were defeated

they finally returned to earth

lance got to see his familly!!! aaaa!!!

space??? lesbians??? hello??? sign me the fuck up???

matt with a ponytail (+ an alien girlfriend fuck yeah)

keith with a ponytail (+ a pacifier and the purest fucking puppy eyes)

high quality klance interactions (lance is Whipped)

keith sliced sendak like a hot knife to soft butter

sniper!!! fucking!!! lance!!! has returned!!! (and keith totally knows he’s the team sharpshooter fuck me up)

lotor on the game show episode (is no one gonna talk about the dance he does)

veronica, griffin, kinkade, and the others all radiate bde and i love them all with my entire heart and soul

keith: “i love you, too, mom”

the game show episode in general

COLLEEN FUCKING HOLT

kosmo is an icon and keith loves that fuckin’ puppy oml he’s so soft

romelle is cute as fuck goddamn

that one heith moment (it was one of the popsicle things, btw)

hunay made a reappearance

punk had its moments uwu

hunelle has my ass

hunk is compatible with so many people wow

iverson and keith forgiving each other and that was just a great scene oml

keith: “yes, sir!” and he does the hand thing

coran in general

aLLURA TAKING OFF HER CROWN TO SAVE SHIRO DOES NO ONE WANNA TALK ABOUT MY MOTHER OMG THAT SCENE HAS MY ASS

axca is CUTE i don’t ship her with keith but dAMN I LOVE HER

tHE ATLAS AND SHIRO’S MOMENT WHEN HE MAKES IT VOLTRON x10 WHAT THE FUCK THAT WAS SO COOL

the aNIMATION IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT HOW GOOD IT WAS

everything about that season is just… mWAH

“they queerbaited us, they’re homophobic, it was an advertising scheme”

they know what they’re doing, these writers are talented as hell

they know how important rep is to us, and it’s obviously important to them too

season 7 was about saving the earth and winning the war against the galra, they didn’t have time to talk about past relationships

introducing adam wouldn’t seem that important to someone who doesn’t keep up with the social media, but it’s paving the way for season 8

allurance and axca x keith are so forced and sudden that i’m almost certain the forced nature of it is intentional, they’re setting something up for season 8

bex is lgbt, the crew is full of allies, they wouldn’t let queerbaiting happen

season 7 happened so we could have some peace and time for personal subjects to be brought up in season 8 (i.e. romance, lance’s bi arc, shiro mourning adam, etc)

season 8 is still going to happen, don’t give up hope yet, the story isn’t finished

they knew people would leave/want to leave the fandom after season 7, but that just goes to show that they have something that would make us really happy in season 8 because they’re smart and know what the fans want

adam’s death was so much of a small deal that i know they weren’t finished talking about adam, they’ll address him in season 8

don’t give up. there’s still hope, and the story isn’t over yet. season 8 is going to address all of our concerns, answer all of our questions, and snatch all of our weaves.

what if voltron was just a really long dnd campaign

Word(s): Bonding Moment

oh my god? This episode looks so wild already asdfjkj

S8 Thoughts

I’ve been reading a lot of posts about a lot of unhappy people who watched the season, and didn’t like how certain things went. (I’m trying really hard not to spoil things, but it is tumblr and things are everywhere) 

But one thing someone pointed out, that at Shiro’s wedding, behind Shiro and Curtis, when Curtis yanks Shiro closer, we see what I think is Keith standing behind Shiro with his arms crossed.  Everyone assumes he’s all pissed because Shiro’s getting married to someone other than him. He’s all bitter because Shiro, the one who he fell and almost died for is marrying someone from the Atlas crew.  Honestly, in all honesty, I feel like Keith wouldn’t be bitter, he saw Shiro as a brotherly figure, not a lover. His arms might be crossed, but my thought, he’s stuck in some stiff suit or clothes he wouldn’t ever wear, and wouldn’t be comfortable in.  All in all, I think Keith is just hella uncomfortable being there, because he’s prolly in a suit that he wont ever wear again. Also, weddings, no matter who’s it is, are uncomfortable as all hell- wearing clothes you probably wont ever look at again that are stiff and uncomfortable, (This might also be my dislike of huge gatherings showing through)  ANYWAY, I know a lot of shippers are all up in arms about it because it should be Keef or even it should be Adam because reasons x, y and z. It would have been nice if Shiro had the chance to have some closure with Adam (and not just his plaque) and be able to move on with a clear head. I mean, he was still able to move on, which I’m so proud of him for. This man has been through hell, and he has the scars to prove it. How long has he been in space? How long was he with the Galra again? Where they took his friggin arm? Being isolated as a prisoner, and being used for gladiatorial fights will change a man. (Not that I know what it’s like being in a gladiator situation, but I imagine with how long he was there and with all they did to him it was going to be a life changing experience.)

The fact that Shiro managed to find love in someone like Curtis, and be able to get married, and move on with his life, instead of dwelling on the bad, and feeling sorry for himself, I cant hide my pride for him. He gave himself the chance to find love again, and go to live a probably quieter life, away from the conflict that had torn at him for years. Dreams change, wants change, people change. 

I love this show, I love the characters, the music, the giant robot(s), and all it did. If I didn’t give this show a watch, I wouldn’t have drawn a lot of what I did in October, or before, and I would probably be a much unhappier person.

I know I’ve said this in posts in the past, but I love what the whole Voltron team did to bring this together. To JDS, LM, and all of the other producers, thank you for making such a great show with some of my favorite animation I’ve seen in awhile. 

word vomit over.

(just kidding i just realized that with this show over, it’ll be harder to see the other cast/crew members at conventions in my area T^T)

Sorry its sideways, but knowing Shiro and Curtis are happy together is enough for me.

Thank you VLD cast, crew, and exec. producers. The ride was incredible with lots of highs and lows, but what an incredible one. I will miss you VLD.

Hey so is anyone gonna talk about the fact that most of the paladins (bar Keith with his dimensional trip on a whale) have been gone from earth for roughly 5 years, but it’s only been less than 2 for them. Their families have been mourning them for 5 whole years, imagining them dead or, more likely, imagining missing 5 years of their lives and their children returning as adults in their early 20s. Like it’s such a throwaway line when Lance sees his family, but when he tells the youngest ones that they’ve gotten so big, they respond with “you’re exactly the same”. It’s even more noticeable with the main Garrison cadets being fully grown adults trusted with being leading pilots in experimental crafts. What a shock it must have been for the Garrison to be expecting cadets like these only more hardened with experience to come home, men and women growing up in a galactic war, only to be met with the same young faces that left all those years ago. How hard would it have been to sit and discuss war council with the legendary Voltron, while looking into a fifteen year old girls face knowing you were sending her out to possibly die. I think about it a lot. And it’s horrifying. The next question is: who is gonna write the fic where the garrison is trying to prepare for the final battle, and has to simultaneously wrap their heads around the fact that they are sending kids to fight their war? The higher ups will dismiss them despite their reputation because they see them laughing and goofing off in spare time, only to confront them with reprimands to reveal that the paladins, particularly Lance, joke to stay positive in the face of the horrors they’ve met. (And it’s obvious that these kids may be young but they have gone through more than anyone can comprehend, as Pidge offers a plan based on the horrific night of going solo against Sendak in the Castle of Lions, or Hunk absently mentioning the hallucinations they experienced prior to earth via a monstorous being and how he was going to sacrifice himself, or even Lance letting slip that he LITERALLY DIED. What can you say to these horrors?)

Shiro choosing Keith to be a cadet over Griffin is the equivalent of being shown the most well-behaved dog in the pet store but still choosing the one that’s been chewing on your shoe the whole time.

They removed Krolia from this season so early because she’s more of a badass than any character has the right to be, and also they knew that all Voltron girls are Too Powerful, and that having more than (3) on the team would result in the war being tied up in half a season.

Some asshole: What do Hunk and Pig even contribute to the team? They’re not even important to the plot line and they have no cool powers! They suck!

Season 6, smashing dozens of scenarios where Pidge and Hunks’ intellect save each other, the team and the whole universe into their face: I’m sorry, what was that? I couldn’t hear you over Hunk learning Galran culture or saving an entire planet from getting blown up under pressure, let alone adding Pidge’s analysing skills/cunning to create a failsafe for Shiro and coding fast enough to save the Castle. Wanna repeat that??? :))))

Voltron Season 5: Who are you???

Voltron Season 6: I’m you but with far better character development and phenomenal animation.

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!!!!!

Keith’s visceral fear of abandonment when it comes to Shiro makes so much more sense now because he always knew he was going to lose him someday,, this wasn’t some far off thing–even if they survived everything with the galra and Voltron, Keith knew Shiro wasn’t going to live a long life. He knew and lived in absolute terror of the fact that Shiro was living on borrowed time, that he could be torn away from him any day. 

It’s why he’s so angry and defensive when other people tell him to give up on Shiro, it’s why he’s so fired up when Shiro nearly gives up on himself. Shiro telling Keith he’s finally died in season 6 is the bomb Keith has been waiting for the universe to drop for literally years. He’s facing his absolute worst fear, and like a miracle, he still manages to find a way to bring Shiro back. 

And Keith has seen others give up on Shiro the way people have given up on him–whenever he promises not to abandon Shiro, not to leave without him, to save him as many times as it takes–that’s so powerful given their tragic pasts. They have both been left behind by loved ones, but they’ve finally found a home with each other. They love one another unconditionally and neither will ever abandon the other. It’s a link that they both ached for and need. 

It was good while it lasted...

Allura: Throw down your galra in disgust.

s6 was so good, and painful at the same time… at least the space dad can finally rest

i’m very afraid suddenly

ya’ll are all blabbing about how beautiful keith, lotor, and shiro were this season but i’d like to call something to your attention,

you’re welcome 

Hello 911 I’m dead and this post dealt the killing blow

never again

OKAY BUT CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW DRAMATIC SHIRO WAS DURING THE DND EPISODE???

I MEAN LOOK AT HIM!!!

LURKING IN THE CORNER OF THE TAVERN WITH HIS HOOD DRAPED MYSTERIOUSLY OVER HIS FACE???

MAKING DORKY POSES WHILE EXPLAINING HIS GLORIOUS MISSION????

MAKING HUNK AND PIDGE WAIT FOR HIM TO CATCH HIS BREATH LIKE A DRAMA QUEEN????

THE SINGLE SHINING TEAR???????

hE EVEN MAKES HIS VOICE DEEPER AND USES AN ACCENT TO SOUND COOLER WHEN HE TALKS, SOMETHING NONE OF THE OTHER PALADINS DO WHILE PLAYING  

IN CONCLUSION, SHIRO IS A NERD AND DRAMATIC AS ALL HELL IN THIS EPISODE AND I LOVE IT

(Shiro doesn’t usually get the chance to goof off or play around, so it’s nice to see him relaxing and trying to have some fun for once, even if he dies two episodes later... *cries*)

HI UHH,,, not to be That Guy but like,, Kuron was honeslty so hot it was kinda distracting how do I cope with any of this,,

they changed shiro’s hair so it can match his mental age

SO HAGGAR IS AT ORIANDE ALREADY
