In your stories, I like how you gave Lotor and his parents the relationship they deserved. I'm not sure if you have addressed this, what are your thoughts about Dyak? (not in your series, but the cannon story line)

Hey! Thanks so much for your note! Gosh yeah, I hope somewhere out in the fictional multiverse, Lotor has a good relationship with parents who aren’t totally evil ahh

About canon!Dayak, she intrigues me a lot. She’s a very static character shown only a couple of times. She’s violent and strict, and she appears to embody the war-like ways of the Galra. I'm not a fan of the palen-bol scene with her and Hunk a;sdjfs

But all that said, her character also stands out in unusual ways. She’s one of the few Galra we see having visible, significant age to her. Because Lotor is 10,000 years old and ages at the slowest pace ever, we can safely assume Dayak is also a space vampire. She says she raised Lotor from a child to a man, which means she was with him for at least several of those thousands of years that it took for him to develop into a young adult.

That consistency and length of relationship is probably why he tolerates her? I suspect she’s soft with him in her own way. Not in any human, sentimental sense, but it seems she was one of the few people throughout Lotor’s childhood who genuinely believed he was meant for greatness.

I have a feeling that for as embarrassed as he is by her arrival, it’s likely from Dayak that Lotor gained his self-confidence and eloquence.

I also suspect that any loss of Lotor would actually crush Dayak. It’s probably a good thing we didn’t get to see her reaction to Lotor’s death in VLD. I think it would have really ratcheted up later-season drama for her to return in those circumstances.

On a happier note, I do think Dayak and Coran ganging up as nannies to Lotor and Allura is a hilarious concept, and I love it whenever anyone runs with that kind of content.

Thanks again for the note!

Marseille Au Musée d’Histoire, une expo fort intéressante “Trésors Coupables” qui traie des pilleurs de tombes, et autres “détectoristes” (mot-valise mêlant détecteur de trésor et terroriste) qui mettent à sac des sites archéologiques.... Ici, pas mal d’objets ayant été retrouvés chez des trafiquants ou de simples particuliers. Très frustrant donc de ne pas forcément connaître la provenance exacte de ces objets.

Rahasia suku Dayak Kalimantan! Wajib kamu baca!

Sometimes I wish I could study the shift of consciousness among indigenous Sabahans and Bruneians wrt being Dayak. Twenty years ago, the thought of us being anyhow similar to people in South Kalimantan would've been virtually unfathomable but now a good amount of KDMR (and likely also non-Malay Jati Brunei) play roles in interregional Dayak organizations.

An Update for The Slipperies

After an extended hiatus, we're back and ready to flail with a fourth chapter!

Story Summary: Lotor gets a case of the slipperies in the middle of an intergalactic meeting. Or so he thinks. Chaos ensues when he discovers his strange illness stems from a completely different problem, mutated by his mixed blood--and that it has a strong, surprising effect on Princess Allura.

Story Rating: M

Read the newest chapter here on AO3.
