make vld characters more disabled in fics 2025 campaign. more than one of them are definitely hard of hearing after so many explosions and gunshots. give one of them a limp from a bone that healed incorrectly for a while before they got to a healing pod. scars and burns that limit someone’s mobility. show how some have to deal repeated long surgeries after they get to earth to improve some of those things. dealing with chronic pain, eyesight loss in at least one eye, not all 10 fingers at least! there is just no way they could get out of all of that the exact same they got there. show how some things have good days and bad days and others pile up to being just another part of their routine. above all: make them deal with change. the war changed them in too many ways to count and left them with much more than just haunting memories.
give them fucking history, things to show for what they went through. being defenders of the universe doesn’t make them immune. at the end of the day they are too made of muscle and flesh and bone.
#i’m always thinking about that one fic that i read#time travel lance goes to the future and has to deal with chronic pain on his leg#and keith helps him#fuck my life that was such a nice addition to an already wonderful fic#this is part of my fuck the healing pods discourse#rambles

So it's been a while since I took the effort to not just sketch something, but to line and color it. But holy fuck, Hazbin Hotel has me by the balls, especially these two.
On one hand, I want Husk and Angel Dust to have a tender romantic moment where they confess and kiss.
On the other hand, it'd be hilarious if the ship kept being a really slow burn until, near the season finale, someone opened the door on them and they're just going at it like rabbits.
#huskerdust#angel dust#husker#hazbin hotel#Angel has so much in common with Mallow I can't help but love him#And Keith David's voice makes any character he plays an instant hit.

Colonialism Apologetics? In MY Space Mecha Kids TV Show? MORE LIKELY THAN U THINK
I will soon #discuss this but for now I'm just pissed off by it like really TV show? REALLY?
Wait also this is totally unrelated but I am still thinking about the Voltron Show episode where like I really do think they could've stumbled upon something interesting about 1: the fact that the Paladins suddenly become these like. Objects. Symbolically speaking. And then to the resistance movement there is a tension because they're not actually like. Doing shit. But then the paladins themselves feel objectified
Idk like there's so many things that you could do there that would be pretty doable to handle for the audience and keeping the tone of the show! Have Shiro feel uncomfortable with the Shiro The Hero [TM] persona because it reminds him too much of the Champion!
Have the rebels like in the Blade of Marmalade or Olkarion or other rebel outposts (which we barely even see because the show dgaf about the people fighting for freedom jfc) feeling some kinda way about it! A FUCKING MARVEL MOVIE DID THIS!!!! THAT'S HOW SIMPLE THIS IS TO DO!!! (I watched the first Captain America movie for the first time last night. It is extremely simple and very pro military. BUT IT UNDERSTANDS HOW TO DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO)
Like idk have Loverboy Lance be tied to Lance's own insecurities about what he brings to the team AND the war– have him feel some kind of way about being portrayed like that as MORE than just jokes!
Don't even get me started on Hunk this fucking show is so awful to Hunk
HAVE ALLURA REALLY GET TO GRIPS WITH THE FACT THAT SHE'S GOT TO PLAY A GUY WHO SHE IS BOTH VERY SIMILAR TO AND ALSO HE IS PART-GALRA, THE SAME GALRA WHO KILLED HER PEOPLE! IT'S A REASONABLE HESITANCY TO HAVE! IDK! IT JUST PISSES ME OFF MAN THERE'S SO MANY THINGS THIS SHOW COULD DO BUT DOESN'T
#voltron#liveblogging voltron#voltron legendary defender#liveblogging#vld#princess allura#allura#allura deserves better lowkey bc the way they were like “Oh she should fall for the space colonizer who lowkey fetishizes her culture”#They said “Yeah he wants to revise her people's history to fit her needs and she's INTO HIM” like stfu it is not even a little convincing#AND AND AND the way they just. Eradicate Olkarion and then PRETEND IT'S A NEW BEGINNING#prince lotor#vld lotor#lotor#Lotor pisses me off as a character bc he is so obviously flawed#Like he has this whole idealized version of what his role is#Like when he's like “I worked WITH the people we colonized” HOMIE YOU STILL COLONIZED THEM#THE FACT THAT THERE WERE COLLABORATORS TO YOUR REGIME DOESNT UNDO THAT#So help me god it would be a GOOD THING for a character to be like this BUT THE NARRATIVE REINFORCES IT#THEY NEVER BOTHER TO QUESTION IT#And again I am just. Like the fact is it would've BALLED OUT to question Voltron's role#“This superweapon has aligned itself with the colonial empire's status quo” AND THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT?#THE DOMESTIC TERRORISM ORGANIZATION GOT NEUTERED SO HARD TOO LIKE THE BLADES OF MARMALADE WERE REVOLUTIONARY ONCE#This show does NAWT care about revolution or liberation which like. WHY WRITE ABOUT A SPACE COLONIAL DOWNFALL WHEN YOU DON'T CARE#All those alien planets they allegedly free WE LEARN NOTHING#WHO ARE THEY#I WANT TO KNOW#Putting my headloss in the tags because I'm spiraling over this shit fr#keith kogane#lance mcclain#vld lance

coleaders klance who have each others back whilst arguing til they're blue in the face. a dignitary from a planet watching keith and lance argue and lance says something and runs away before keith can rebut it which leaves him scowling. the dignitary seeing this as their way in with the black paladin and saddling up to him and complaining about lance. keith doing a complete 180, his eyes going yellow and his skin slowly shifting purple as he glares at the alien and the alien panics and is just like "haha sike hes actually really cool and amazing and i would do anything he asks ahahahaplsdontkillmehaha"
a dignitary finding out keith is galran and seeing klance argue so he goes to lance, the red paladin and second in line should anything happen to the black paladin, and insulting keith's heritage and implying that should lance stage a coup then he'd have whatever planet the random alien is from in his corner. lance pasting on a wide, faux smile and "soothing" the aliens fears/concerns about keith being galran by saying that if their planet doesnt want a galran to save them then voltron wont force them to join the coalition and they can fight the empire themselves. the alien freaking bc hello??? their planet against the might of the galran empire?? they'd be crushed!! and the alien is just like "i meant no offense im so sorry pls dont leave us for dead"
#coleader klance coleader klance coleader klance coleader klance coleader klance#i need more of them#i love lance being a skilled diplomat too#so like when the team sit with all these aliens to get them to agree to joining the coalition#its allura and lance leading the discussions bc if keith is involved he'll eventually stab the table with his knife#and complain about how annoying theyre being bc voltron is trying to help protect them#so like keith does the battle leading while lance does the diplomat leading#they are a good team#keith is fire and lance is ice#keith has a temper and is incredibly impulsive so lance is the one to reign him in#meanwhile lance can freeze up and get too in his head about things and keith is the one to light a fire under his ass#LISTEN TO ME IM RIGHT#voltron#vld#voltron legendary defender#keith kogane#lance mcclain#klance

Thought of the night (as I've begun season 4): a facet of Kuron's mission could very well have been to drive Keith away from Voltron.
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. Keith's the only other person capable of piloting the Black Lion and thus leading Voltron. He's shown that he has the potential to be an effective leader, even though he started out with neither experience nor willingness to do so. He also knows Shiro better than anyone; if there was a single person on Team Voltron who could have realised something was off, it would have been Keith.
There's also one more point that's probably the most important: Keith is relentless. He understands the stakes of the war they're fighting better than any of the other Paladins, and he's been shown repeatedly to be able to play those stakes— it tends to be the others that prevent him from doing so (see him advocating for leaving Allura rather than delivering Voltron to Zarkon, or him pushing to chase Lotor rather than focus on evacuating refugees in 4.01). Had he grown and matured as Black Paladin, it would have spelled trouble for Haggar and the Empire, because that's the same kind of tactical ruthlessness you see in someone like Lotor, who is a pain in the ass to go up against.
Enter Kuron. Kuron who has the face and the voice and the memories of the person Keith trusts most in the universe. Kuron who's enough like Shiro that any differences will be brushed off.
Kuron whose differences from Shiro are absolutely devastating.
On the surface, it seems like Shiro! He encourages Keith to accept his position as Voltron's leader...except his actions don't reflect that. It's very manipulative in my eyes, how he simultaneously praises Keith's growth and puts him down. How he tells him that "Voltron needs a strong leader" but repeatedly undermines his strength by issuing orders that he knows the others will listen to over Keith's.
Kuron tells Keith he needs to be a strong leader while doing everything he can to make him seem a weaker one.
All of this comes to a head with Keith feeling like he doesn't have a place with Voltron, especially not as the Black Paladin, and definitely not once 'Shiro' can pilot Black again. Instead of being brought into his own as a leader, he's had his insecurities reinforced, and the only option he feels he has left is to leave for good, and taking with him the only person on Team Voltron who could have posed a legitimate threat to Kuron's infiltration.
#voltron rewatch#vld#voltron analysis#keith kogane#keith voltron#takashi shirogane#shiro voltron#kuron voltron#not to say that I think Keith would EVER have realised Kuron wasn't Shiro#and not to discount the capabilities of the other paladins#they were all grieving. they were all relieved to have their friend back#there's a LOT they would have been willing to go along with for Shiro's sake#but if you look at it from Haggar's perspective#the current Black Paladin would be the biggest threat to her operation#she NEEDS to get rid of him to get her in#and it doesn't help that he's the one who knew the original the longest#so short of outright killing Keith#which probably would have caused more problems than it was worth#he had to be pushed away. but it had to feel like it was ENTIRELY a him thing. couldn't be done in a way that would cause suspicions#and i really can't imagine just how awful this would have felt from keith's end#and especially after he found out about kuron and started to realise just what had happened

#a new Voltron video posted from a very popular creator and she said ‘I’m a Shiro fan but-‘ and I’m already so done#stop making Voltron trend again PLEASE#I DONT WANNA SEE THESE TAKES ANYMORE#I’m so tired dawg#the problem wasn’t shiro living it was his DEATH THAT KILLED ALL THE OTHER CHARACTERS#BECAUSE THEY TURNED SO FUCKING STUPID ESPECIALLY KEITH#listen id agree if Shiro was PROPERLY set up as a doomed mentor#but he wasn’t because the showrunners couldn’t HELP BUT TIE SHIRO INTO EVERY ASPECT OF THEIR CREATION#shiro has a relationship with almost all the major villains#he was the leader of Voltron#he was a PERFECT leader even with his flaws#he was made disabled and gay and Asian#you can’t just kill someone off like that and expect fans to be happy#because WHAT WAS THE POINT OF INTRODUCING HIM THE WAY HE WAS#WHY HAVE THE LIONS PLAY MUSICAL CHAIRS WHEN YOU ALREADY HAD IT IN YOUR WNTIRE PREMISE THAT THE VOLTRON LIONS ARE CONNECTED TO THEIR OWN#PALADINS AND A BOND CANNOT BE FORCED#WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE POINT#pisses me off

lance read the percy jackson books and keith has only watched the movies. this is a big point of contention between them.
#vld#voltron#voltron legendary defender#keith kogane#lance mcclain#lance didnt take his adderall into space so he’s been unmedicated for years and firmly believes that it helps him in battle#hes literally a demigod wdym#keith doesnt get it but he likes arguing with lance so he stands firm on the idea that the movies were good#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians

I think Shiro is bad at cooking in a “overcooks everything out of paranoia about raw food and giving someone food poisoning” combined with “I’m busy and need food cooked fast so we’re putting the stove burner on 7 instead of 5” way so everything he makes is a little charred and a little tough and dry and over cooked and he’ll eat it but no one wants him cooking for them ever. I think he does better when recipes have very specific descriptors of how you know it’s done. “Turn off when bubbles form” type things. He’s okay at baking when it has specific directions, or when it’s “when a toothpick comes out clean” but if it’s “golden brown around edges” he will second guess if it’s golden brown or not and burn the cookies. I think he loves appliances like instapot or rice cookers where you dump ingredients in and push settings and it comes out done. Don’t make him make decisions about if food is done he will overthink it and err on the side of caution and burn it.
#Voltron#shiro#holly v*ltron tag#listen I think he is bad at cooking but he is an adult like he can feed himself to an extent#he is just bad at it#listen I think it is funny that he is bad at cooking but he needs to be bad at cooking in a way that makes sense with his character#Shiro’s strategy is you can’t give your teenager salmonella if the chicken is over cooked and a little charred#meanwhile Keith is fully capable of digesting raw meat#I think kind of failure at cooking would make Hunk feel even worse bc when Shiro helps in the kitchen he is trying so hard but it is#difficult to convince him that sometimes food finishes cooking in the pan out of the oven

Maeve being literally the girl next door, aka modern au where she and Keith are neighbors
#they bond over their plants#maybe he helps her carry her boxes when she's moving#and sees her plants#and gets all excited talking about it with her#until he notices he's been talking too much and apologizes#but she finds him so cute#keith and maeve

Lance needed to sew something and Keith needed a jacket that covers his entire torso.
#I got back into sewing#Lance is the team seamster#I think that when Lance gets anxious he sews so he patches up clothing and stuff but he also yearns to design and make clothes#They're both artists in different fields and help eachother with their art#By help I mean stand still for hours on end#For Keith's birthday month I'm gonna draw Lance modeling for Keith's drawings#This was originally intended to be for KD's “fashion inspired” prompt#idk if it really counts#I just wanted to draw Lance using Keith as a dress form#I'll point out all my easter eggs and stuff in a later reblog#voltron#keith voltron#keith kogane#klance#lance voltron#vld keith#vld lance#lance mcclain#art#julance#They call him the tailor because of how well he can thread a needle (literal)
