Hii i know im late but either kuron allura or lance for the ask game thingy you rbed like two days ago?

(i know i always pick these three but idk i just rlly like hearing your thoughts on them<3)

Yay!! I am so sorry this is late. Also heads up this gets long and really salty-

Kuron-

favorite thing about them- He's trying so much! He is not great at it and he was very much Doomed since the beginning and he lost every agency he never had to begin but my god he was Trying! He did not know he was a clone but he felt he that he isnt him and Haggar was still scouting in his head but he was still trying until he couldnt, my god i love him!!

least favorite thing about them- Other than the fact he fucking died??? Kuron babygirl please dont go behind your teams back and dont yell at people, i know you are Going Through It™ but still

favorite line- "Like i am not like myself" HAHAHAHA HAHA FUCKING KILL ME!!! orz

brOTP- Lance and Kuron relationship that lives in my head and has a special place in my heart, also Veronica and Kuron because i am too deep in That au i will make it a thing if only just for that au

OTP- Do i have to answer this one? I guess Kur.ance if you twist my arm but to be honest i still prefer it as platonic or qpr. I am not much of a shipper and he has aroace swag to me. Oh, also Kuron/getting to live as his own person aka the best ship ever

nOTP- I guess Kuron/Keith and Kuron/Lotor? Mostly because my rather uhhh negative opinions on Keith and utter disappointment with Lotor's character and annoyance with both of their stans

random headcanon- i have already talked about him being fan of reading but did you know he also writes sometimes? It is not *great* and almost all of them are wips because he is never sure how to end a story but he is trying

unpopular opinion- if i see one more "Kuron the evil mean clone" i will scream.

Other than- ok. You know how much i love him right? He is one of my favourites and i like him more than Shiro, you know that right? I need you to know and remember that when i say the next part.

Entire clone arc was just not needed. Like you could have had the same effect with Shiro being mind controlled and i personally feel it would have been better. Clone arc just overcomplicated an already messy plot, added even more elements and questions that went absolutely nowhere, left behind a shit load of plot holes, became the final nail in the coffin of Shiro having any possible arc or development, and added a new sympathetic character just to kill him off as a plot device.

And the entire "You are my brother Shiro, i love you" who is it for? Literally who is it for? It would have been much more heart wrenching if it was mind controlled Shiro but we clearly established that is not him. That guy is not Shiro, and Keith as i recall had like 3 on screen conversations with him, 2 of them being strained and then Keith just fucks off with the Blades for most of 3 seasons. It is not for Kuron cause narrative is insistent that he is ~evil~ tool and later on they use his body to get Shiro back. So like, who is it for? Other than to show how sad and angsty and great and amazing writers pet Keith is of course but that is the whole goddamn show.

Like i love him and he did not deserve any of That and i am going to keep making up aus where he lives but the entire pointlessness of clone arc angers me so much

song i associate with them- Being a basic bitch here but Control by Halsey

favorite picture of them-

honestly every scene with him having long hair is just>>>

Allura-

favorite thing about them- Allura is just so genuinely kind, like she goes from one traumatic event after another and loses everything she had and she is rightfully angry and hurt and upset but she still remains kind and does everything so that others dont have to go through what she did and so she sacrifices what little she still had

least favorite thing about them- why is she fucking dead 🥺🥺? Girl wake up, also as much as i love her i am not forgiving her for entire using-Kuron's-body-to-bring-Shiro-back.

favorite line- "So how would you rate your bloodlust level from 1-5?" Let her be silly please!!!!

BrOTP- Allura and Shiro!! Also Allura and Hunk!!! And a number of interactions between Allura and Lance post s3 too!!

OTP- Free my girl hasnt she suffered enough?? (I do have soft spot for early season sha.llura moments and many allurnce moments)

nOTP- i guess l0tura and k@llura? For similar reasons as above

random headcanon- pre-Altea's destruction Allura was the most daredevil person ever. You could dare her to eat a ghost pepper and she'll do it just to prove she can

unpopular opinion- No longer saying 'the situation is much more nuanced' and 'she was traumatized, it is understandable' about the galra reverse racism bs and instead going she was 100% in the right actually. If this fandom can forgive Lotor for getting thousands of alteans murdered and straight up lying to the woman he says he loves about her own people and forgive Keith for abandoning his teammates and almost getting them all killed by claiming they were sad and traumatized than they can also forgive a black coded genocide survivor not liking a race that has been colonizing and murdering the entire universe for 10000 years including her own people

song i associate with them- Queen of Nothing by Crane Wives

favorite picture of them-

Look at her smile

Lance-

favorite thing about them- my boy?? My most favourite boy??? Literally everything?? Ok but seriously i have talked about this before but he is complex to me, i love there is so much duality in him he is someone who is kind would die for a person he met like 2 days ago and did not get along but also is just an absolute obnoxious cunt. He is an emotionally mature guy who understands his own feelings but also is just sooo douchey class clown. He wants to be a cool talented hero, he has the capacity to be that but he wants to be seen as one and in his attempts he ends up screwing himself over and comes out looking as anything but that<33!! And he is loyal and goofy and lovable i love him

least favorite thing about them- i would not have liked this fucker if i met irl specifically s1-s2 him at all. Also the fact they did not even give him an arc like why would you do this to him. Also his fanbase, i cant tolerate 70% of his fanbase and the fact that i still love him is a testimony of my love for him itself given i have hated characters and left fandoms for far less

favorite line- "You ever notice how far the planets are from each other, Coran?" Why did they have the goofball say shit like this if he was meant to be just a goofball

brOTP- Everyone <3, he deserves more friends but mostly Hunk, Kuron, and Allura

OTP- i like most Lance ships actually, though there is a specific han.ce au i have in my head that i adore

nOTP- *sighs* kl4nce. It's just sooo Everywhere, i go to Lance's tag and it is all this ship, nearly every s8 fix-it thinkpiece i have seen moans about how Lance was reduced to Allura's bf only to reduce him to Keith's bf and all of them yell about how the only problem with vld was that kl didnt become canon as if all the racism in the show doesnt even matter, and i am so goddamn tired of this like i cant even joke about Lance having terrible taste in men witjout someone bringing Keith up, and i dont hate the ship (and sometimes i even enjoy it) but i am done with this

Random headcanon- he can play violin pretty well! But he also hates playing violin

unpopular opinion- this is coming from someone who only likes and cares about Lance ships but i think he shouldnt have had a romance arc with anyone. I have said this before but he is so obsessed with keeping facades and the romance loverboy is one of those facades. At most he should have had like last one out of beach city episode from steven universe, where he gets a partner by just being himself instead of the flirty loverboy persona

song i associate with them- Top of the world by Greek fire

favorite picture of them-

He looks great when he is on the verge of death

Guys. Guys. Please. Fucking hell. I'm going insane. What the fuck man. All of these arts. And y'all are just?? Liking it?? Look at this. Do y'all know how likes barely effect a post's popularity?? And how reblogs actually increase the amount of people looking at a post?? And make it last longer for weeks after its initial popularity??? Sometimes years if it gets reblogged enough??

Guys please this is so bad please learn to reblog posts I'm gonna cry for these artists. The ones in darkmode are from like. The "Top" section in the forsaken tag. The one in white is from an artist who's art I really like. Please reblog art this looks so sad to look at. I'm making this post with the Forsaken tag because it's the one I'm most ''active'' in at the moment. But this would generally apply to any art and posts on tumblr

Some tips under the cut I guess, it's very big:

You can make 'comments' in the tags. That's normal for Tumblr, please do not be afraid to ramble on about in the tags when you're rebloging. The actual comments are nice but it just doesn't have the same vibes as seeing someone's tags about something they reblogged. I need to make a more comprehensive version of this one day but please. Just try it. Tags of the people you reblog from don't appear on your reblog!! That's why it's good!! Unless you do the prev thing. Which I would recommend to copy the previous person's tag and add "

Tumblr usually cuts up tags with the comma. So some users use. The period. In place of it!! Also dont use actual quotation marks (") it also cuts up tags with that. Use two apostrophes (') instead

So one thing I noticed is that. Community posts. Can't be reblogged. I want to show this cool art on my blog, but since this post is only in the community, I cannot show it off, especially to those NOT in the community. If you are making art (generally just a post) with the intent of like. Having others not in the community see it (WHICH IS AN OK AND DECENT THING. ESPECIALLY ON TUMBLR). Please make the posts normally (and tag it well!), and then reblog it to the community if you want those in the community to see it too!! And if you want to reblog a reblogged post in a community just go to the person's blog and find the original post!

Some artists I noticed mistag some posts. Tagging a character that doesn't appear at all or isn't even mildy referenced. People scour trough tags to look at a character or something they like. Please do not mistag a post as 1. This ruins the categorization tumblr's tags have 2. You can be reported for "spam" if you do it too many times. (scary!) 3. It will frustrate some people when they're looking for x character, find a post with y character, and not see x character at all. its not limited to characters btw. I'm just using them as an example, it also helps to block tags! There's a reason why categorization is important! So posts with a tag you don't like (and have blocked) stay blocked! Have it mistagged and risk those with a blocked tag not see it! (mistagging also applies to other types or censors. Like leet speak. Don't use that when tagging something. this is Tumblr. Say the uncensored word.)

There's like. A bunch of guides on tumblr for tumblr for like, Twitter, tiktok and new users, please try to find those. They explain stuff better than me. I just made this post because I'm frustrated AT ALL THESE LIKES WITH LITTLE REBLOGS. I feel Iike these artists aren't getting appreciated like they should've tumblr style. If you've been here for a year or two. good for you, or condolences, depends on how you see it, but you're still relatively new compared to some blogs

Also don't use the "For you" page on Tumblr it's sucks a lot. go use the "following" page for your dashboard(aka feed or whatever it's called on other websites) and change your settings to show posts chronologically from those you follow. Curate your own experience and stuff. Comment in the tags.

I've been using Tumblr for a long time now please don't be afraid to ask me questions about rebloging and other Tumblr stuff. I think anons on my blog are on. Im open to teach stuff about it. Since I know this post isn't that comprehensive compared to others
