[zentropyart]

[littleredxcv]

As Shiro said

We will return...Triumphant

Voltron legendary defender may be gone from nexflix, but hopefully, that will not be the case for long, and it moves some place where it can call home once more

[iknowicanbutwhy]

[leenfiend]

what's ur type first < prev next > full comic

[paramoreparaless]

Lance would have a sobble. Argue with the wall

[lmxpsuedonym]

This scene gayer than Oscar Wilde, Ru Paul, and Lady Gaga combined

[callmelyc]

I talked a lot before (and thought about it for years) about how I think the bayards could become anything but never super explored it so here y'all go I made lance loose a leg to do so: (copy and pasted from Twitter so we will ignore format and grammar)

Sometimes when Lance closes his eyes he can still hear the wind chimes his mama had on the back patio

He can feel the sun soaking into his skin and smell the salt from the waves in the distance

Now though with his eyes closed, all he hears is nothing, and all he smells is iron.

He'd gotten trapped here in this ship made of mazes. It was so strategic, so full of traps and portals that the entire team was separated with ease.

Now Lance lies here in a blank hallway. Now he lies bleeding on the cold floor.

Alone.

With not even the crackle of the coms between him and the silence.

Lance fades in and out of consciousness. Black paints his vision when everything isn't a smear of colors. occasionally he even gets a glimpse of clarity to see the bodies of the guards surrounding him

But above all he fights the searing pain, the burn of the gnarled flesh on his thigh.

Lance can't feel his toes, Should he be able to feel his toes...?

Why is there only tingling in one leg? Why can't he get up

Get upgetupgetup

/GET UP/

Everything is swirling, everything is spinning too fast

"Lance-"

Things are fading again...

"Lance!"

There's voices but he can't remember who they are

"Lance please!"

/Lancelancelancelance/

"LANCE!"

The world snaps back into focus and for the first time in what feels like forever....Lance can breathe

The twinkling of wind chimes sing so clearly in his ears and the breeze is oh so gentle

Where....where..is he? Where was he? Something doesn't feel right but he doesn't know what

Lance looks around to find he's sitting on a porch that overlooks the sea

"Lance! There you are-" when he turns the speaker of one of the voices from before is looking at him with a smile

"Mama..." Lances voice is breathless but if his mother notices she doesn't show it

"I've been calling for you mijo, normally you come running when dinner is done"

She pulls Lance to his feet and ignores when he stumbles. She ignores the face he must make when pain shoots through him the second his right foot touches the ground

She ignores it all and sits Lance down at the table where his siblings are arguing over something stupid. Where his father is laughing at something Luis says about his kids.

Between the conversation and every bite of food the world flashes back to the dim darkness of the galran ship. Sounds fade in and out with more voices yelling for him, begging for him to respond.

But it's just so warm here and the wind chimes sing oh so clear in his ears.

/Lance! This isn't funny-/

He laughs at a joke his sister says.

/LANCE CHECK IN NOW/

His mom places more food on his plate.

/We NEED to get in there-/

/It's too dangerous we don't know where he is!/

"Is everything alright?"

"huh?" Lance mumbles confused. Of course everything was alright, it's dinner time with the family. It's what he's dreamed about for the years he's been away....isn't it?

The years he's been away....

/Lance

Lance

Lance!/

/LANCE!/

"Earth to Lance~"

Lance snaps his focus to Rachel, who looks at him as if he's done something ridiculous.

"You ok? You're weirdly quiet."

"I-" lance goes to explain himself but the words get caught in his throat with a scream. Pain shoots through him again making lance double over onto the table

His family doesn't seem to react to his scream nor do they care to point out the blood that pools on the floor beneath him

"Is everything alright? You're so quiet Lance."

The wind chimes singing turns into a piercing ring.

"You just need to get out is all-"

"Yeah Lance! it's been ages since you've gotten out. You just need to keep going."

Lance chances a glance down to his leg, where the right one would be....and theres nothing.

Oh God he's gonna throw up. There's so much blood, the flesh of his thigh is so torn....

"Just wake up, Lance."

Lance chances a dizzying glance upwards only to find his entire family looking at him. Their faces are blank, they look as if they're one entity.

"Wake up"

~*~

Lance gasps for breath when he wakes this time, the feeling of the cold metal a familiar feeling against his skin.

He can still hear people calling his name, demands for a response, yelling and begging for anything, anything at all.

As the world resettles around him, Lance realizes it's his team. They're calling for him.

Where once the coms were blocked it not crackles through unobstructed. Lance takes as deep a breath as he can manage, lifts his hand and turn on his mic

"M' here" his voice cracks and Lance knows he probably sounds as bad as he feels. But the resounding relief the team berates him with in response is enough.

"Oh thank Allran"

"God lance you-"

"we need to leave, things aren't looking good." Shiro cuts in "can you get out Lance?"

At that lance cringes, he remembers his leg, the blood, the fight "I dont-"

"One of the portals is open 50ft ahead of the exit. It's a one way passage or we'd come to you...."

"Are you injured?"

He almost wants to laugh. Injured is an understatement.

Lance doesn't have it in him to tell them he doesn't think he'll make it. He doesn't have the heart to tell them he thinks- no, he knows his leg is gone and how he's bleeding out.

So he looks up, fighting against the vertigo, to get a visual of the exit. It would be an easy exit if he could walk but now...now he doesn't think he'll make it out of here. Now, he doesn't think he'll actually get to sit down at the table and have dinner to the sound of wind chimes

/You just need to get out Lance/

The words ring in Rachel's voice, then his mother's, then Vera and marcos...

"Lance please-"

Keith...the most desperate sounding one was Keith

"I don't know how bad it is but I know you. Don't you dare give up here."

Lance can hear the worry in Keith's voice, the rage that he can't impulse his way through to help and Lance chuckles

"You worried about me samurai?"

He hears Keith bite out a retort but can't form a thought strong enough to understand the words. All that's in lances mind is getting out, he has to survive.

He will get out, he just has to move.

So he starts to crawl, dragging his body across the floor inch by inch.

Blood drags with him. His fingers clawing at the ground for purchase burn at the effort it takes to pull himself forward. Yet no matter how much it hurts, no matter how dizzy he is he can't stop

Move move

move

Just get out he just has to get out he can make it he can!

In lances desperation, in his pleas to the universe to not die here alone in a trap, his Bayard transforms into something none knew it could.

It becomes a new leg

The metal shapes into something truly alien, something altean and foreign. It latches onto lances stump making him hiss as it sealed in the bleed.

It takes a moment for him to gather himself after, to try to stand and stumble down the hall and to the portal.

He's thrown off balance by the weight of it, unable to walk with something so new. With every moment he slams into the wall for balance, with every pained step he takes with the temporary prosthetic, Lance is closer to freedom.

And the moment he steps through that portal Lance collapses into arms he knows belong to Keith, and everything after goes dark.

I feel like RWBY's "anti-hype" is slowly working in it's favor.

Friend of mine was hashing it out over this and we were about how it was sort of the opposite of Hype Backlash where an art piece is so hyped up that when a newbie checks it out, they’re keen to ask: “That’s it?!”

Sometimes it’s immense as it’s not just one newbie lost but many who band together in solidarity over their general vibe of, “We don’t get it.” Like Critical tags are full of this, many of them being of those who did have love for the thing but let it fizzle out.

With RWBY, it feels like there are newbies that have engaged with the text without any irony. Or They have seen all of the, “It’s bad, man, like the biggest piece of crap known to man,” hate like it’s The Room. However, that sets them up for either a bad movie night or something actually bad that they're morbidly curious for.

Either way, they will be the heretics that dare go against popular opinion and earnestly ask, “What the hell are you guys talking about, I'm having a good time here?” Because, big surprise, opinions can and will vary.

So watch that show or movie that'd been crapped on. Watch that episode everyone tells you to skip. Watch the finale that nuked Twitter to hell and back (even after Musk).

This doesn't just apply to RWBY. Take a risk and dare to be disappointed or surprised. There are soooooo many titles I could list that I loved even after hearing bad things about.

Don't follow the herd. Be yourself. Make yourself. Make your thoughts for yourself.

I'm currently thinking about the lion switch and I honestly can't decide if it was a horrible decision or a great idea that fell victim to the awful writing of the show. I guess I liked the potential or at least the general idea of what (I think) they were trying to do. It was especially good for keith's development. I mean, I like that keith, the loner, who it's kind of an outsider in the group and who struggles with his identity and with belonging in a place or a group, becomes the leader of the team. Setting aside the fact that it's not really that well exectued, I feel like it a nice way to... settel? his place in the team. And honestly, the more I think about it, the more I realize that keith was meant to be a leader. It sounds strange at first, or to me at least it did, because keith, at surface level, it the epitome of a soldier. He is loyal and quick to anger. He doesn't care about diplomacy, he wants to fight, because that's how he feels that he can make a difference, that he can contribute to the cause in a significant way. He is the perfect match for the red lion. But the reason he didn't feel like a leader (to me) in s1 and s2 is also because of his insecurities. Keith is meant to be the leader, he just wasn't ready. He especially wasn't ready in s3 while he was also grieving shiro and with the change in dynamics in the team. Because keith doesn't feel like he belongs, because he only sees his worth in how he makes the biggest contribution (e.i when he leaves), because no one ever sought to understand him and so he learned to do things by himself, because his role as "the loner" was conditioned. But then we see him in s6 (I think?) and he falls naturally into that role when shiro can't lead (or, well, more like he couldn't pilot bc he was missing a whole arm but yk).

Another thing I like about the lion change is how lance was the one to pilot red when keith was chosen by black. It has always been really interesting to me because in my mind allura and keith are pretty similar so you'd think that I'd match the red lion with her, but as similar as they may be, they are not exactly the same. In constrast, lance and keith appear to be opposites, but they both are great matches for red and not just because of their personalities, but because red is not just any lion, it's the right hand of the black lion. Because keith had a special relationship with shiro and lance had a special relationship with keith. Keith and shiro know and undestand each other like no one else can. Keith and lance see and understand the importance of the other in the team when the rest doesn't, not completely. And the blue lion is the most adaptable, but the red lion is the most difficult to bond with, which is why lance bonded with both and allura only did so with blue. Another thing is that many believe lance should have been the leader for the same reasons I think he is perfect as the right hand to keith's leadership. Because lance has many leadership skills, but they work best by guiding keith rather than by leading himself. I also believe that this position could have been great for his development as being the leader could have been for keith. In this way, lance is an essential part of the team, he keeps them together and makes a big contribution without necessarily being the one in charge. They both learn that they aren't indispensable, but keith learns that he can be and is part of the team, that he can make decisions, that he can guide others and that he can also rely on them, and lance learns that he doesn't need to be all that, that he doesn't need to be the one in charge to be important and to be needed and to be useful.

(god i love them so much)

However, there's something that still rubs me the wrong way about the lion change. I genuinely believe that keith and lance are meant for the positions they ended up in and I love that allura gets to fight alongside the others, but for some reason I can't get over the fact that the lions suppously bond with the paladins and that that bond is meant to be something special and unbreakable, and yet they change lions with minimal problems. Look, I love seeing keith as the leader, but I totally get his struggles with piloting black in s3 because keith is a great pilot and fighter. He's stealthy, he is agile, he likes going fast. And red is perfect for that because she's the smallest lion, which allows her to be fast, stealthy and agile. But black is the opposite of all that. She's the head of voltron, both figuratively and literally, which means that she can't go as fast as red and she's not ideal for stealth either. And lance, keith and shiro seemed really bonded to their lions. Heck, shiro had a whole arc about forming a stronger bond with black just to pilot her in like 3 seasons.

anyways, that's it, thanks for coming to my ted talk.

@sockdooe, This is the full original image:

According to the Tumblr post I originally snagged it from, it's an early piece of promotional artwork, meant to depict Keith as the series's central character. Shiro is shoved into the background, presumably to illustrate that he was intended to fulfill a Doomed Mentor role.

ok so everybody should start voltron posting since we are apparently living through 2016 again. <- trying to cope in any way possible (failing)

only had time for a very fast sketch but i miss him

I had this idea that when the paladins are really connected to their lions and they’re in mortal danger or something, the lion can actually take over the paladin. This would only be in dire situations as the rush of quintessence from the lion would do irreversible damage to the paladin, but would save them (or someone else) from certain death. Of course I used Lance as a basis for this, because he’s the paladin I know how to draw best, and the Red-Blue double channeling looks cool. Being a puppet for two lions at the same time would probably kill him though. I also couldn’t decide on the regular white armor or a blackout version.

I was thinking something like this:

The paladins are infiltrating an Empire land base and got split up. Lance and Allura got caught up with a ton of sentries but were able to destroy them and are headed back to the Green Lions as per pidge’s instruction, when out of a corner comes (Insert Galra character). They are forced to fight more, but are already exhausted from the dozens of sentries prior. During the fight, Allura gets harmed enough to be down for the count, leaving an angry Lance to deal with their opponent. In his desperation, exhaustion, and rage, the Red Lion takes over. The next thing Lance knows is that he’s waking up from a pod and falling into Hunk’s arms. The team congrats him on his bayard upgrade, but Lance has no idea what they’re talking about. They claim he was shifting his bayard fluidly mid fight and was able to use their bayard forms as well. Lance denies it, saying at one moment he was fighting with his broadsword, the next he was waking up in a pod. They spend the next few quintants trying to figure out what happened, why Lance’s armor is now red and blue tie-dye (But normal white with no stars), and why Lance has burned-in lines under his skin.

I have way too much time on my hands but I hope you all enjoy it 😂. I’ll probably draw the side effects next week because I’m going on vacation this weekend. It’s my sister’s birthday and we’re going to Disney to meet her and spend it with her. I’m so excited! I’ve been to Disney A TON but I could never get tired of it. One time in September 2020, y’know, covid, my dad got us a week stay at one of the resorts and my brother and I did our online school from the hotel rooms. Even though we didn’t do any parks, it was still a great ‘stay-cation’. Disney holds a lot of nostalgia for me and my family, so every trip is another addition to the memory book. Okay, okay, I’ll stop with the Disney stuff now. Hope you all liked my idea!

i know it's not how it works but i wish keith got more purple in the show
