Lance is talking to Nyma away from the rest of the team.

"I mean, there are only six of us in the entire universe, so I guess you could say it's kind of a big deal" He says.

"I don't understand. The lions are ships? Are they, like, flying statues that you ride on?" Nyma asks.

"No, no, no. They're magic, but also super scientific and advanced. And they fly crazy fast and have all these incredible weapons. Really, the entire Castle is just insane. I wish you could see it" 

"Yes, it's too bad we're not allowed inside. I would love a tour from one of the knights. But I guess the big one is in charge, huh? You have to obey his orders?" Nyma says, looking at Hunk.

"Who, Hunk?  I don't have to listen to him!" Lance says. He brings Nyma inside the Castle of Lions to the bridge.

"This place in incredible" 

"Yeah, I guess. You get used to it"

"But it's so gigantic. It must take you forever to get to your lion." She said. 

"Ooh, you'd be surprised" Lance brings Nyma with him down the zip-line to the Blue Lion's cockpit.

"Pretty slick, right?" I said. "Unbelievable! Take me on a ride around the moon?" Nyma says.

"We should probably get back to the others" Lance says,

"Yeah, you're right. Maybe Keith will give me a ride"

 "No! Hold on a second! I mean what's the point of having the lion if you can't enjoy it, right? Giddy-up, buddy!" Lance activates the Blue Lion and takes off with Nyma. 

==

Hunk is working on Rolo's ship, but witnesses the Blue Lion leave.

"Oh, Lance!"

"Ah, let them have their fun. Thanks to you, this thing is just about ready, so we're going to be on our way soon. Too many light years on that guy, I guess" Rolo says. Hunk suspiciously eyes the part he replaced.

"Yeah" Y/N looks around.

"Has anyone seen Soul?" She asks. 

==

Inside the Blue Lion, Soul peeks around the corner to see Lance and Nyma in the cockpit. Lance fly's the Blue Lion around the moon.

"Look, a kinetic spring! Let's land over there. The minerals reflect off the water, making a rainbow" The Blue Lion flies over the spring, causing water to spray and a rainbow to appear.

"Wow. Is there anything you don't know" Lance said. With Lance distracted, Nyma presses a button on her bracelet to signal Rolo.

==

Rolo suddenly exits the engine of his ship.

"I think this thing is just about ready for a test flight. Beezer, come co-pilot for me.  Be back in a tick" Rolo and Breezer enter their ship, leaving the Voltron team dumbfounded outside.

"Uh..." Rolo's spacecraft takes flight with no issues at all. 

==

Elsewhere, Lance and Nyma stand at the kinetic spring by a tree.

"So, ah, you want to see how fast I can climb this tree?" Lance said. Nyma giggles.

"Aw, you are cute. Let me show you something. Give me your hand" Lance offers Nyma his hand and she handcuffs him to the tree.

"Whoa! Uh, this is...king of..." Rolo's ship appears and abducts the Blue Lion "Nyma, what's going on?" 

"Sorry, Lance. Maybe we'll meet again" Nyma grabs onto the rope only for Soul to bite on her hand "Ow!" She grabs Soul with her other hand.

"Soul! How did you get here?!" 

"Your that purple ones pet. I might just keep you" Nyma grips Soul by the scruff of her back and the two are raised into her ship and it takes off, leaving Lance behind. Lance looks around for his helmet to contact his team and sees it out of reach.

 "Oh, Quiznak!"

==

The rest of the team is waiting outside the Castle of Lions. 

"How many ticks have they been gone?" Pidge asks, swinging her legs.

"Probably hours" Y/N says, upside down besides Pidge.

"I don't know. I hope they didn't break down again" Allura said. 

"Something ain't right." Hunk said. 

"Guys? Hello? Little help?" Lance says. Y/N, startled by the noise, falls on her head.

"Ow" She gets up and puts on her helmet, everyone following.

"Lance? Lance! Are you all right? W-What's going on?" Shiro said into the comm. "Well, I'm kind of chained to a tree" Lance says. Y/N laughs.

"I knew it!" Hunk said with his arms crossed.

 "And I think Nyma and Rolo just stole the Blue Lion" Lance continues.

"I knew it!" Hunk shouted. 

"And Soul" 

"I kne-" Hunk pause.

"What" Y/N says, teeth grinding.

"Where are they?" Shiro asks.

"Uh...space?" 

==

Hunk rants at length as the Paladins head to their Lions.

"Uh, I never trusted those guys, from the beginning!" Hunk rants "I mean oh at first it was just like a feeling in my gut, you know, but when I was replacing that pipe, the pipe was cracked, but none of the hardware around it was damaged" 

"Okay, we get it!" Keith shouts. Hunk continues.

"I mean if the thermal pipe is cracked, then, obviously, hello, the entire assembly should be totally roasted" Everyone starts getting annoyed by his rambling.

"Okay, we get it!" Keith said again. 

"We should've had to replace the entire undercarriage of that reactor. So, right then, I was, like, positive. Foul play" Hunk said. 

"Okay, we get it!" They all shout. The remaining Lions chase after Rolo, Nyma and Breezer.

==

Rolo contracts Prorok through a video transmission. 

"Commander Prorok, my name is Rolo. I understand you're offering a reward to anyone helping capture the Voltron Lions" Rolo says.

"That's correct. Do you know where they are?" Prorok asks.

 "I know where the blue one is. It's in my ship"

"Excellent. Bring it to me and you'll have your reward immediately" 

"Just a tick. My friends and I have a bit of a checkered past. Some stolen merchandise from the Galra Empire may have fallen into our possession without us knowing about it" Rolo says. Prorok hums in response.

"Well, I'm sure that a full pardon can be arranged for the brave souls who bring Emperor Zarkon a Voltron Lion. Is that all?" He said. 

"We'll take the reward, too." Nyma says.

"Of course"

"All right. We're on our way" The transmission ends. Rolo stretches.

"I almost feel sorry for those Voltron folks. Seemed like a nice bunch." Rolo said.

 "If you're feeling guilty, you can turn yourself in. Stealing from Zarkon carries a life sentence" 

"They don't seem that nice" Rolo says "Now, tell me again. Why did you take her?"

"Why not, look how cute she it. Besides, her species are rare these days. Maybe we could sell her" Nyma says, walking over to a caged Soul "Isn't that right" Soul growls and tries to bite Nyma through the cage.

"Or she could bite their fingers off" Rolo's alarms start blaring because the remaining Lions are closing in "No way" Rolo starts to fly his spacecraft to safety.

"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" Nyma asks "There's no way we can outrun those Lions"

"Not in the open. Good thing the Zorlar asteroid belt is right up here. I know that like the back of my hand"

==

The criminal aliens fly into the asteroid belt.

"We'll  never get through this asteroid field!" Pidge shouts.

"Maybe I can just bust through!" Hunk slams the Yellow Lion into an asteroid, causing all the asteroids to bump against each other "Nope. That was wrong. That was a bad idea"

"Maybe someone can get through" Y/N mumbles "Keith, you're the only one who could possibly fly through this"

"Y/N's right. We need you, buddy. Get in there and flush him out" Shiro says.

"You got it. See you on the other side" Keith pursues Rolo in the Red Lion, navigating the asteroid field easily. 

==

Rolo's computer shows the Red Lion nearby.

"No way. Get on the blasters. Take him down!" Rolo orders.

"Copy" Nyma and Breezer fire the ship's laser blasters at the Red Lion. Keith doges the attack and fires his Lion's mouth cannon in retaliation.

"This kid can flat-out fly"

"He's gaining on you!" Rolo tries tricking Keith into crashing into an asteroid; Keith avoids the trick and flings the Red Lion's jaw blade at Rolo's spacecraft. The attack disables the ship's weapons "Blasters are offline!"

"We've got yo get out of here!" Rolo tries to flee. Keith fires the Red Lion's mouth cannon at their engines. The criminal's ship is knocked out of the asteroid belt. Keith catches them with the Red Lion. The other Lions arrive.

"Yeah! Haha! Hey, Lance, I got your Lion back" Lance and Keith talk through their helmets' communicators.

"Thank you, Keith. Now, can you come and unchain me?" Lance asks.

"What's that? I, uh... Y-You're cutting out. I can't—I can't hear you" Y/N laughs.

"Oh, come on! I thought we bonded. Keith? Buddy? My man?"

==

The Team rescues Lance and returns Rolo and his crew to the alien moon with their broken ship. They stand outside the Castle of Lions. Soul sits on Keith's shoulder.

"Since your ship really doesn't work now, you'll have to wait here for a rescue" Y/N says.

"Thanks for sparing our lives" Rolo says.

"Now that these guys are dealt with, let's get to the Balmera and save Shay and her family"

"You may not believe this, but I hope you do stop Zarkon. It's a lifetime of fighting the Galra that led me to where I am today." Rolo says. The Team looks considerate, but does not respond and leave. 

==

Keith walks into the bridge, Soul still on his shoulder, the others follow. He feels a tickle on his cheek and turns his head to see Soul lick him; he freezes. Y/N laughs.

"Don't worry, it doesn't mean she sees you as food" She says "She likes you"

"What. Why?" 

"Well, because you saved her. I'm guessing they hold a strong liking to who ever saves them"

"That is partly true" Coran says, walking over "Creavnolians are very grateful creatures. If they are ever saved, they will forever respect that being that saved them" Lance goes to stroke Soul only for her to hiss, and he jumps away "However, that also means that Creavnolians also have a good memory, to remember those who save them, but also those who get them into trouble" 

"Do something, Y/N! She's looking at me like I'm some kind of snack!" Y/N shakes her head.

"You hungry, Soul?" Keith asks, Soul nods.

"I'm sorry! I'll be good, I promise!" Everyone laughs.

Me: I need more male muses

This newest banch of muses: We got you homie

(Faceclaim - Duke Crytear from The Princess’ Jewelry Box)

Igor Carlon Nevee: Sole son of the Viscount & Viscountess Nevee in the Hot Spring Mountains. As the unquestioned heir to the Nevee estate & title, & a stunningly handsome man, Igor has had everything he’s ever wanted in life placed in his hands; everything expect for true love. While he is stubborn, arrogant & willing to pass threats without much thought, he is also incredibly nervous & shy around women, especially adorable ones. While most women in Camellia see Igor as a shy, compassionate & cute man, most Camellian men see him as a cold, calculating & venomous snake.

(Faceclaim - Jade Meldea from The Princess’ Jewelry Box)

Elliot Seymour: Second son of Viscount & Viscountess Seymour of Xu Yong, spare heir to the Seymour estate & title. Despite being the spare heir & still a young man, most of work meant to be done by his father & older brother is passed onto him & completed by him. As a hard working & brilliant youth, he is used to keep the Seymour name afloat. It is generally agreed on by the most of the Camellian court, that without Elliot, the Seymour Family would most likely crumble & become a fallen noble family. It is also for the reasons of always being used by his family, that he has a tough time trusting others & getting close to anyone.

(Faceclaim - Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III from Critical Role’s The Legend of Vox Machina)

Nathaniel Arlington Knightborne: Third & final son of Marquess Charles Knightborne & the first Marchioness Mary Knightborne. After the divorce of his father & mother at a young age, Nathan reminded with his father & two other older brothers in the Knightborne estate, however, he became very distant to his family after his father’s marriage to the the woman who would become the second Marchioness of the Knightbornes, Olivia, & the resulting two daughters she would give birth to later. As the third & final son of a Marquess in Kyren, he was expected to become a knight, even more so then his younger half-sisters, & while he did complete his 2 years of mandatory military training without any issues, he decided that instead of just being a knight, he wanted to create the weapons that the knights used on the daily. So, with the funds he saved up over the years that he received as an allowance from his father, he opened his own blacksmithing & crafting shop called ‘Arlington’s’ in Westport & is an insanely successful man. Able to live on his own in a small manor, away from the family he is still so distant with even today. Nathan is a kind & caring sort, who believes in the value of hard work, but also has a tendence to get a little hot-headed in tense situations.

IT'S VEX HOURS BABY!!! AND ALSO THE DE ROLO BABIES

hoo boy this is a long one. i’m so sorry. i am insane, and you activated the Vex Loving Hours

headcanon ask meme

3. drinking, vex & vax

okay. tipsy vex and drunk vex are very different. tipsy vex is loud and fun and flirty, alcohol chipping away at that composure she tries to keep locked down. her posture loosens up, and she thinks less about what she says - she snorts and giggles, her words slur together, and she doesn't hesitate to just... be. it frees her up a little. drunk vex, however, is just... sleepy. like, once she's truly hammered, she just gets tired. and a little cuddly. it's at this point that people can catch the slightest hints of a byroden accent, where she forgets the 'g' in 'darling'. i am absolutely stealing this from this fic by @notaficwriter​ which is cute and amazing and lovely and everyone should go read it right now. drunk vax, as we see in canon, is just a silly guy. he's a funny man. he jokes and stumbles around, and loves his friends so much, and is also more likely to have conversations with his sister about love. he gets stuck in physical closets instead of metaphorical ones. he’s a dork and also an enabler of chaos

vex and vax together being drunk... is just a wild ride. in the beginning, they're sort of playing off each other, trying to see whose tolerance is better, encouraging each other to throw darts (and daggers) when they can't walk straight. but before vox machina, it was rare that they ever got drunk together. they knew the dangers of being intoxicated when they were nobodies, flitting from city to city, and if they weren't in the woods they were wrapped up in shady shit. if they got their hands on some good alcohol, they'd take their turns, and usually with trinket on watch, too. they wanted to enjoy some of the little things, but not at the risk of each other. sometimes they'll still fall into the habit with VM, starting to argue over who's the designated driver monitor for the night, before remembering, oh, we don't need to do that anymore. and then they get Plastered

8. shopping, tary & vex

tary and vex both adore shopping. in fact, it's one of their little bestie bonding activities - just heading out to shop, either in whitestone (it's still recovering, but by the time skip some of the cute little stores have definitely begun to reemerge) or in emon. they go clothes shopping and enable the shit out of each other. vex has a slowly growing collection of elaborate hair clips, one that percy eventually makes a whole cabinet for. they also hit up armories and weapon shops like mall shops - "ooo, would you just look at these arrows? oh, gods, they're so gorgeous" "vex'ahlia, you have to see this armor, oh it's so lovely-" "ooooo you have to get it!!" “oh taryon, have you seen this mace? oh it’s so darling” “oh pike would love that” “she would!” and. they’re kind of joking, but kind of not. it is so confusing to all of the shopkeepers, it's great

the thing is, though, that initially, shopping was a huge conflict between them. their original animosity really centered around money - tary flaunted it like it was nothing, expected vex not to know shit about it, and to top it all off, it wasn't even his own hard earned money. he was coasting on dad’s coattails (and, even though we learn later that his dad is a dick, i can imagine that vex was a little bitter that at least this rich fuck’s rich fuck dad actually gave him something). even after tary's false bravado has dropped and vex has taken him in as her latest stray, he still has no concept of how money works, or its value. "it's a banana! how much could it cost, a platinum piece?" kinda vibes. he has no fucking idea how to haggle, either, and it nearly causes vex to go grey early. their earliest shopping trips are doubling up as educational moments. vex is gonna help this man learn money sense if it kills her

(they occasionally bring percy along as well, since he actually loves shopping nearly as much as them, but for the most part this is a ritual that the two of them keep to themselves during the year-long break. and occasionally, post-canon, during reunions they’ll slip away for some nostalgic browsing. just to feel a little more normal)

the rest of the headcanons (zahra and vex, the de rolo babies) are under the cut because i. went insane

12. friendship, zahra & vex

ZAHRA IS ONE OF THE MOST UNDER-APPRECIATED CR CHARACTERS AND I LOVE HER FRIENDSHIP WITH VEX SO MUCH THANK YOU

okay. listen. they give off the vibes of those friends who dated for a while and broke up amicably but still are all close and would absolutely agree to a friendly hook up you know. like that’s what i do with them in a modern au. but in canon they just... they have the vibes, okay. there’s a post somewhere with a gif of vex saying she’s got a crush on zahra, and i haven’t been able to find the actual moment but i hold this so close

ANYWAY! they have the weirdest friendship. half the time, when they get together, they just... sit in a library. or a room. and just read. they don’t talk to each other for hours, and say it’s some of the best company they’ve ever had. the other half of the time, they go out and absolutely fuck up the nearest tavern. they drink people under the table and threaten a healthy amount of creepy fuckers who try and hit on them. they throw darts absolutely plastered (vex) and cast one too many inebriated spells (zahra), and are just generally a fire hazard. and, again, they say it’s some of the best company they’ve ever had. they’re wild adventurers, going hard in their celebrations in part of the job description, but they’re also nerdy little introverts who find solace in the quiet company. they also have a pair of sending stones, and will drop everything to go help when the other calls. they’re ride or die, and have each other’s backs

also, post-canon, they have a lot of meet-ups that double as play dates, because the the zahra/kashaw twins and vesper are about the same age, and i imagine those weren’t the last of the hydris kids. also, of course, zahra absolutely adores gwen - vex named the kid after her, for fuck’s sake, which brought zahra to actual tears when vex told her, because she’d had her self-worth stripped away just like vex had; she never even dreamed someone would think highly enough of her to give her name to someone so precious. so, naturally, zahra is the most called-upon babysitter once gwen is around, at least until vesper is old enough for the responsibility (although zahra still volunteers her help). she also helps gwen a lot with coming into her tiefling heritage, and helps the rest of the de rolos learn infernal, touched by how dedicated they all are to helping gwen feel included and loved

16. appearance headcanon, any de rolo baby

again. i have no self restraint. so i’m gonna do all of them. but i might cut it down to one particular trait because this post is getting out of hand

vesper: i think she’s definitely celestial plane-touched in some way, shape, or form, whether she’s an aasimar or not (and i’ve started to slip to @essayofthoughts​‘s side of this whole matter, with her not being an aasimar but still pelor-blessed), but i don’t think she was born with any visible signs of it. i think she was born with dark hair, almost vex’s color but a touch lighter, and that after some incident as a kid (or just more exposure to magic and pelor-related magic, i’m not sure) it started to grow in white. soon after, her light brown freckles gained a cluster of silver ones scattered about, catching the sun the same way vex’s golden ones do (a headcanon i will die on the hill of)

leona: her hair is an absolute bitch to maintain. not only is it frizzy, but it’s frizzy curls. as someone with frizzy curly hair (that, actually, was not curly for the first bit of my life), it can be an absolute nightmare in any sort of humidity, or if you don’t use the right hair stuff. i think it’s less of an issue than it would be, given whitestone’s location, but any time they travel to byroden - or, hell, even emon - if leo doesn’t keep it fully braided or tied up, the frizz doubles it’s size. wolfe makes so much fun of her when it happens for the first time, calling her “lion-mane leo” in the brattiest way a 12 year old can. (he would have the same problem if his hair wasn’t cut so short)

wolfe: he’s got a round lil face, simply because i think it would be adorable. also, i think he’s got pretty strong freckles - the normal kind, but darker than vesper’s normal freckles because he spends more time outside. i headcanon him as a bow user (fighter class, specifically), but despite the bow not necessarily being a strength weapon and more dexterity (looks at vex’s 7 strength), he’s worked hard to build up some muscle so he can be useful in any sort of fighting. he’s got a protective streak a mile wide - for his siblings, of course, and the rest of his family, but also for anyone who’s disadvantaged or picked on. also, he has the absolute best style out of all of the kids. he’s the best dressed for every occasion. he and vex are a force to be reckoned with

also, for both of the twins: they’re the tallest of the kids, and they’re total dicks about it. they lord it over all of rest like it’s something to brag about, even though they’re the only ones who actually give a fuck. vesper only did for a little bit, once she stopped growing and they kept on getting taller, but got over it relatively quickly. the twins, however, did not. it’s hilarious. actually, the only one who gets huffy about it is percy - they end up just a smidge taller than him, once they’ve reached their final heights (although he’s mostly just emotional that they’ve grown up so much)

vax’ildan/freddie: i keep focusing on their hair BUT... i imagine he’d grow out his hair. not as long as vax’ildan did, and it’s a lot curlier than vax’s was, but the similarity still strikes vex every now and then. it actually hits percy on occaison, too - i imagine little ludwig had curly dark brown hair, and that when it got long he would tie it back until he could be bothered to get it cut, and it looked a little similar to how freddie wears it. i also think, as freddie grows older, it becomes apparent that he inherited vex’s complexion - his skin holds a decent tan through the winter, and is sun-warm light brown in the summer, especially when he starts spending more and more time outside with charlie. eventually, he looks more like vex’s mini than vax’s (or ludwig’s), which helps with the sting of resemblance

gwen: okay so i had a dumb headcanon for her ombre hair but then i looked up ipkesh’s appearance, and he ALSO has ombre hair and red skin, so i assume she just has those features because her planal affiliation comes from the ipkesh pact. BUT i’m gonna use the headcanon anyway, so: please imagine gwen trying to dye the rest of her hair white so she matches with vesper. it’s a disaster and it’s absolutely adorable

ANYWAY ANYWAY i just. please consider gwen with a little gap between her two front teeth when the adult ones grow in. combined with the little tiefling fangs that she has. she is the cutest kid in all of whitestone and everyone knows it. also, her horns kinda confuse me a little bit - they’re small, but they seem to be in their standard adult shape. i can’t imagine the s-shaped ones can grow any longer given their shape, and horns don’t just... increase in size, so those horns would have to be fully grown despite her young age (aside from scaling up as she grows up). but she does have those lil nub horns, so my idea is that eventually those will grow a little more and curve a little more, and then finally she’ll have a third pair of shorter, basically-nub horns that grow in. i just think that would be neat and adorable, and i haven’t seen a lot of multi-horned tieflings

holy shit i wrote so much i am. so sorry

So The Cat's Out Of The Bag,,,

Another fanfic for Agapito (an OC that belongs to @yandereaffections) The story starts under the cut. Hope you enjoy!

Word count: 1,908 Trigger Warnings: Subtle yandereness, I can't think of any others

It’s 11 pm. I’ve been avoiding schoolwork all day and I’m in no rush to fix it. I've been writing fanfiction, of sorts, for the past 3 hours. On the bright side, the first draft is done! My back hurts from sitting so long while my butt hurts because I’ve sat on a wooden stool this long. I need to take a break but what to do? Oh, what to do? My weekly planner is wide open on a bookstand to my right. I could be productive, or I could keep avoiding them... So the planner is closed now. I’ve reorganized pens in a pen cup for the seventh time. Is there a limit to how many times a person can adjust a desk lamp before going insane? There has to be something else to do but what? As if on cue, my phone lights up with a text from my Baby. We’ve been official for 6 months so our dates are a lot more casual nowadays.

“Angel, I want attention. Unlock the back door” I’m aware it doesn’t seem like it but this is how he asks to come over. He won’t come over until I respond giving the green light. “Bold of you to assume I’m home and not partying at a random frat house” We both know I’m not doing jack at 11 pm on a Friday. Nonetheless, it’s fun to pretend I have a flourishing social life. “That’s cute. Back door please” Alright, now to get up and- ow, fuck, ouchie, ok, hold on. *POP* There we go!

I should probably pick my room up real quick. I made my bed earlier today so that’s not a problem. The svallerup rug from Ikea collects dirt a lot faster than I expected. Although would he really notice? It’s not bright in here. My dresser by the door looks fine. The futon is in couch mode, so there’s not much left I don’t have to clean up for him. In reality, I’m not cleaning for him, I just like having a clean room. The last thing I do is turn on the fairy lights above my head then light a vanilla candle. I know he’s coming over to cuddle or really do anything involving him getting affection. I might as well make my bedroom reflect that, right?

I half-jog upstairs to unlock our back door. Why the back door? It’s not because I love Jesus. Let me explain. The living room floor creaks way too loud. Also, my parent’s bedroom is right next to that door. The side door alerts our dogs to start pitching a fit. How can they hear it from the opposite side of our house? I may never be able to understand. Moonlight drifts halfway across the backroom. Sparse nightlights cover the remaining needed light. I flick on the backdoor lights followed by opening a few blinds to let more light in. Their orange glow overpowers the moonlight near the backdoor.

For whatever reason, the moon is far brighter tonight. Or my pupils are hella dilated because I’m thinking about my Baby. Either way, moonlight dusts over parts of the backroom and kitchen ahead of me. One last light to turn on. An LED light above our kitchen sink smashes through most surrounding darkness, making it almost impossible to see into the living room. White cabinets outline our kitchen. None of the cabinets match each other in this house. It’s as if this house was built in parts instead of planned out from the start. The counter is occupied with things you’d expect; a bread box, knife set, fruit basket, coffee pot, and an air fryer. Yet, there's evidence real people live here. Crumbs from a snack, mail by the fruit basket, half-empty coffee pot, as well as children’s toys forgotten all about

Everyone else is snuggled up in warm beds, sleeping. I can pick out each person’s snoring pattern when they poke through tonight’s ambiance. There are moments where quiet feels like serenity, others where it feels like emptiness. I can’t decide which one I’m feeling because I realize I’m about to have a visitor. A cup of coffee sounds like the perfect way to waste a few minutes while waiting for my lover.

Coffee cup out of the overhead cabinet. A coffee spoon from beside the coffee pot. Fake sugar off the shelves. Room temperature coffee in the pot from this morning. French vanilla coffee creamer out of the fridge. And just like that, a proper cup of coffee is served. Light reflects off the glossy coating painted over our pale coffee cups. Mom considers it a priority to have everything match or look cohesive. Appearing put together is a source of pride for her. A cup is a cup however matching cups make her happy. My ears perk up at hearing his tires pulling into the driveway. My coffee creamer swirls in the cup as he walks up the driveway. The coffee spoon clings against the inside of my coffee cup simultaneously with the creak of our back gate. All that’s left is to wash off this week’s coffee spoon then put it back. I have only a few more seconds until my Love is with me again. I’m a sappy and hopeful romantic for him, get off my back. He’s learned how to silently open the back door and if I didn’t have good peripheral vision, I would’ve yelped.

Intimate hands snake around my hips as a tender kiss is pressed against my neck. I can feel the tender smile tugging at his lips after the kiss, he had a really good day? His body is pressed against mine as he murmurs “Honey, I’m home~” behind my ear; earning a soft chuckle from me. I turn to face him, wrap my arms around his neck, and greet him with a deep kiss. This time on the lips. “Welcome home, my Love.” He’s so close to me, I can smell the cigarette he had on his way over here. The absence of alcohol or weed stench affirms he didn’t have a bad day at work. I can’t wait until these interactions become a daily occurrence. This man is breathtaking under normal circumstances; but, under the glimmer of moonlight,,, I can’t form a single thought while looking at him. The raw admiration and love this man holds in his eyes? Who could stand a chance against him? Not me. Wrong choice.

His hands linger along the sides of my hips. I hold his arms in an attempt to keep him close to me, just a little longer. “I brought you a few things. I’ll go set them on your desk.” He knows gifts aren’t my thing in spite of that he claims I deserve the entire universe. I breathed out, “Ok, I’ll be down in a minute,” then started moving to get my coffee cup, as well as a few snacks to bring downstairs. He starts heading downstairs content with how flustered I am. WAIT A FLUFFING MINUTE THE FANFICTION IS ABOUT HIM!! I whisper yell ‘Baby’ until his head pops back around the corner. I threaten him to not touch or look at my laptop. It was a pathetic attempt considering what he does for a living. In my defense, I tried. I forgot he’s in essence an overgrown teenager who will do the exact opposite of what he’s told. Wanna know what he does? Grin. I’m so fucked.

Agapito dashes downstairs and leaves me in unadulterated fear. I’m frozen in place, trying to come to terms with my fate as his footsteps fade. It’s not smut or anything, just a simple night and morning routine imagining that we lived together. This is going to be so embarrassing. Please spare me this treacherous fate and undying embarrassment. Deep breaths, just take deep breaths. Get your coffee then snacks then, simply, accept what’s just happened.

With arms full of snacks, I shut my bedroom door as gingerly as I can. Setting the cup on the dresser right by the door to make this a little easier. He’s standing at my computer, reading through the last page. Oh hey, he brought me Rolo’s as well as 3 Musketeers. Nice! Oh wait, he’s done reading. His shoulders aren’t tense; his breathing hasn’t changed; all the same, he’s just standing there. “Why did you write this out instead of doing it?” That’s a good question tbh. My Baby’s voice sounds hurt, despite that, he’s trying to hide it. Ok, he needs a hug. Now to throw the snack on the bed. He needs a rib-crushing hug and you bet your butt I’ll be the one to deliver. I tug at his elbow so he’ll face me then pull him into me. His shoulders are right under my chin when we’re facing each other. I bury my face in his neck while my arms hug him as tight as I can. Except why is he upset about this?

His love for me is nothing to scoff at. He loves me the same way he wanted to be loved when he was younger. We’ve figured out he’s catching up from his pre-teen years and onward. So about 13 years without a stable romantic relationship. When he was trying to court me I had to call him out all the time for manipulation. I know he’s terrified I’ll think he’s not good enough. He has episodes of frantic attempts to meet all of my needs, even if it’s not asked for or needed. What is going through his head? Does he feel like he’s not good enough? That he’s not loving me enough so I have to turn to a fictional version of him? Does he think he’s not good enough for me to do this stuff with him? None of those are true, obviously. I explicitly stated that in the story he just read. It doesn’t mean he won’t get stuck inside his head. I need to tell him the truth. Even if I wanted to lie, I couldn’t, he’s a finely-tuned human lie detector. One more deep breath. Squeeze him a little tighter. Look him in his eyes and come clean.

“The reason I didn’t just act these out is because, I didn’t know how to ask for it.” His expression shifts from confused hurt to understanding. I start rambling, “I want to have these experiences with you. I’d give anything to have that life with you but we've only been dating for 6 months and I just, wasn’t sure, how to phrase it.” I’m choking on my own pulse from emotions. I realize I was shifting my weight left to right when he pulls me in for another hug and kisses my forehead. We stand there in each other’s embrace for a few moments before he suggests I come to his house tomorrow night. We both know what he’s suggesting. I can’t help but adamantly agree. Excitement zips through my body thinking about tomorrow night. A smile pulls at my lips as I ask, “Do you mind if I wear this shirt tomorrow night?”

Tonight is about Netflix, snacks, and rediscovering the curves and contours of each other’s bodies. Though, not before I mess up his hair while calling him a butthead. It’s evident his insecurities are still tugging at him. Funny enough, his insecurities forgot they’re fighting against me for his attention.

List 5 things that make you happy, then put this in the inbox of the last 10 people who reblogged something from you. Spread positivity. 🌈 💙🌻

Aww cute!! Tysm <3

Let's see...

Nexomon! EVERYONE GO PLAY IT RIGHT NOW >:O Pokemon plush! My collection is coming along very nicely and I'm real happy about it :3 There's Rolos ice cream in the freezer rn (thank u @okjooonfire!!!) I'm going to a baseball game tomorrow bc my cousins are out and they gave us their tix! aaaaaand... my discord+tumblr friends. y'all are insane /pos

[jrueships]

I don’t want to judge…. but are you trying to tell us that your newest ship is…. Rolo??? …. and…. KRIS DUNN????

LiSTEN- LIStEN. OKAY-

aLSO WHY DO U SOUND MORE SURPRISED ABOUT DUN THAN KRIS HeLP??????? IM KIDDIN OF COURSE BUT LIKE- OKAY- listEN. it's not like- FINAL final (none of my insane rarepairs are of course like if marcus gets a fr on same team bf I won't be upset LOL all my rarepairs are just basically 'i like this player and this player so... what if.. boyfriends??') But LIKE... im still... CONSIDERING... CLOSELY- ... tho kris and lauri sounds cute too ngl their finnish speaking video (that had Greek music in the bg...) was funny!!

But i just think that

THIS is VERY interesting to me... and im always a sucker for more height difference relationships .... the way Kris doesn't even try stepping AWAY from Robin to smack trae??? He smacks him like he's hiding behind rolo???? Almost like a little kid cowering behind a teacher and only feeling confident enough to hold up a middle finger to his bully because he's got the teacher on his side now??? And the way rolo instantly wraps an arm around kris???????? ITS CUTE LISTEN.LISTEN-

But like??? Personality-wise (the main reason behind my rarepair madness) .. i just REALLY like two stubborn people in a relationship constantly trying to prove the other soft and then inadvertently falling in love with each other because of it.

I'm no astrology ho but APPARENTLY rolo's zodiac is Aries sun LIBRA moon like WOW. So he's like.. I DUNNO... baby... He's a team player but he also wants independence??? So he WANTS to be Different and stand out but hes just so Kind and complementary that he can't help But just fall in the flow??? Which he doesn't really want???? Which makes sense! He wants to be this big scary weird.. caveman and some THINK he is on the surface but really he's just a Disney loving NERD who LOVES superheroes!!!

And Kris is like.. Basically he's kinda eccentric and self-absorbed not in a prideful sense but he's just in his head alot ??? His personality can go from rigid and prickly to charming and open in like. A second. He's just weird like in the picture??? He'll high-five lopez and then remember that trae kinda elbowed him and just go attack mode without thinking twice ??? and it's surprising and that one action makes people think he's just some hot-tempered aggravator but two seconds later he's chill again???

IDK they're both so INTERESTING to me .. I feel like they both can help each other a lot ??? With their personalities ????? but in a fun to write way LOL. Dunn probably challenges rolo's tough guyness a lot; consequently, helping to bring out more of Rolo's soft side. And Rolo can understand Dunn's shifting nature, but also help keep him grounded a bit and out of trouble ?? BUT THEY DO IT THRU LIKE.. arguing and teasing and butting heads a bit because they both kinda pride themselves on being 'fierce'... and then later they resolve things and talk about them.... IDK IDK THIS MAKES SENSE TO ME IN MY HEAD- i KNOW rolo is... kinda ugly and Dunn is essentially 'dunn' (done) in the nba BUT LIKE. LISTEN- THEY THEM... GAY IDIOTS WHO CALL EACH OTHER IDIOTS BUT KNOW THE OTHER IS ACTUALLY REALLY SMART AND IS WILLING TO VOUCH TO THAT FACT ????? LISTENLISTEN.... there is just something ABOUT unexpected relationships ..... that goes BEYOND 'this one is nice and this once is not' like their relationship is COMPLICATED and WEIRD and they don't really know HOW or WHEN it started but it started and they just can't get off it !!!!!!

AND JUST IMAGINE THEM GOING ON A DISNEYLAND DATE ???? THEM B O T H TRYING TO SPIN THE HINGES OFF THE TEACUP RIDE ????? rolo convincing kris to lightsaber fight with him?? Dunn originally being like 'ugh this is so dorky dude' but it's only a short sigh to keep his dignity and he can't help But be charmed by rolo's infectious excitement AND by his OWN excitement ?? so they DUEL and it starts playful until dunn smacks rolo a little Too hard on the arm and then it gets SERIOUS. Idk they probably end up getting kicked out for scaring the children lol. Dunn has bruises and rolo has bloodied scratches. No more lightsaber fighting today :(

Rolo wants to buy a life sized stupid.. expensive soemthin idk like thanos cardboard cut out which Dunn says no to. Then Dunn goes and buys a ton of expensive ass weird candy so rolo rebels and buys the cardboard cut out anyways lol. When they get to the tram train whatever way home, rolo sleeps on dunn's lap using the thanos cutout as a blanket. Dunn keeps waking him up and giving him a concussion because he won't stop bouncing his leg tho from the sugar high. OVERALL... the date is went. It went. Yeah

Custom Toonami Block Week 76 Rundown

Code Geass: So we’ve come to this, been kind of avoiding this episode, part of the reason I did the Rebuild marathon last week was to put off this episode for as long as I could. Shirley’s death is fucking bullshit, the whole thing feels like a farce, she dies from trying to help him against someone that wasn’t even trying to kill him just because she triggered Rolo’s Yandere Simulator instincts. It’s a foregone conclusion that Shirley would die at some point, Lelouch is a tragic figure and having him be happy doesn’t really fit his character arc as the martyr that will save the world, like the Zero Requiem would be really fucked up if Shirley was still alive and had to watch Lelouch become Gundam Hitler and then get stabbed. But still the matter of fact nature of her death is so weird, like I feel like a lot of people originally knew this was coming and kind of braced themselves for it but it’s so weird and contrived and sad, Euphy’s death made me cry and this didn’t quite get there but I did get a bit weepy, like fuck this show man, it knows what it’s doing and pulls on the emotional manipulation hard.

Inuyasha: Another filler episode this time around, this one’s pretty funny though with Jaken doing all kinds of Team Rocket-esque hijinks to steal the Tessaiga, it’s some good character building for Jaken and Rin before Rin gets kidnapped leading to the actual canon part of this story and plus there’s a lot of cute fluff with Inuyasha’s group just kinda killing time, like they’re still traveling but they seem to be taking it easy and playing games and shit this time around. Also Kagome definitely saw Inuyasha’s junk in the hot spring so that’s a good reverse on that, we get basically no fanservice for the girls but Inuyasha gets splayed out and spends the climax shirtless so that’s some defying expectations right there.

Yu Yu Hakusho: The Black Black Club arc concludes with Yusuke and Kuwabara vs the Toguros. Honestly this fight does a really great job of subverting expectations since you think it’s going to be two on two but then Younger Toguro basically uses his brother as an Equip Spell Card and it’s essentially one on two. Kuwabara gets his flash of Yukina’s backstory and his Super Saiyan powerup which is pretty standard for how these arcs end but Toguro doesn’t seem that phased by it which is because he isn’t and this is all a ruse and Toguro fakes his loss so Sakyo can win his bet and get rid of Tarukane. The Black Black Club shenanigans have been in the background of this whole arc and spicing up the fights that are otherwise Yusuke and Kuwabara just plowing through mooks so it’s really neat that it ends this way so it can subvert how things are supposed to go and still give us a cool fight, it reminds me of how arcs tend to end in Hunter x Hunter where the climax is often undercut because of outside forces. I think I like this version better though because HxH tends to go for an anticlimax, this is a standard climax but it doesn’t mean what we think it means at first and that’s really kinda cool. Also Kuwabara tells Yukina to not give up on humans and Hiei saves her without telling her he’s his brother cause he thinks she’s better off this way.

Fate Zero: We take a detour from anything of importance to see how Baby Rin is doing, it’s pretty much completely unrelated to anything going on but it is pretty cute and gives some nice character stuff for her that puts her arc from UBW in a new light so that’s nice. Also Kariya shows his face again and reminds us that he’s really the only one who has any good reason for trying to get the Grail amongst all the child murderers, arrogant kids, arrogant adults and general war criminals in this fight. Everyone’s basically “I am a dick, gimme the grail” or “My family’s a dick, gimme the grail to shut them up” and while Kariya is in the latter camp, he’s also doing it to save Sakura and not just “Welp that’s life.” Given that Sakura’s still with the Matous in UBW and no one besides Kiritsugu and Kotomine and Waver are confirmed alive, we probably know how that went.

Konosuba: So the big showdown with the Mobile Fortress is here, I do kinda like how Konosuba peppers mentions of the big bad throughout the arc so it builds the hype when it finally shows up. Everyone gets serious and actually does shit to take down the Wild Wild West Spider Tank, unfortunately it’s not piloted by a racist old man in a wheelchair but a dead guy that didn’t know what the fuck he was doing. For building it on the cheap he sure made it sturdy at least, but Kazuma basically acts as a Mana Dumpster and gives the important people the energy they need to get rid of the core and blow up the carcass. This is Konosuba and our Protagonist is essentially a glorified battery. Also Kazuma’s insane luck betrayed him and threw the core into the Capital so now he’s a war criminal, oops I guess.

Sailor Moon Crystal: So everyone goes to the moon surprisingly easy and fights out from Usagi’s Fortress of Solitude Recording Mom all about how the moon was cool and shit but then everything changed when the humans attacked and the princess was such a little bitch that she gave up right after her man died and the queen had to do all the magic sealing and shit but that also destroyed the kingdom for some reason. Also the Four Kings are formerly Earth Knights also reincarnated like the Sailor Guardians and used to be less dicks and were even the guardians’ boyfriends which feels REALLY forced and even more gross and weird than Usagi’s reincarnation relationship just being told “Hey you love this guy now, you don’t get a say, past life shenanigans decided” and everyone decides that they can’t fight the people they love that they only just remembered so Usagi has to boomerang some bitches in the face and then there’s a four way Solar System Kamehameha to get the Four Kings to fuck off again. Now Beryl’s working on borrowed time since she had to re-brainwash her pawns so she’s gonna brainwash Tuxedo Mask to do it even though he doesn’t have powers and should be less effective than the kings but it’s really dramatic if Usagi has to fight her boyfriend so let’s go with that.

Durarara!!: Reporter Shuuji Niekawa is digging around Ikebukuro to find out about the crazy amount of tough customers the city has. The first half of the episode is the “fuck around” half where he talks to much of the main cast, and then as everyone knows, when you fuck around, that leads to the “find out” half where he is promptly stabbed and becomes a Saika kin and stalks Anri and Shizuo and wants to stab everyone before getting crushed behind a car door by Shizuo while thinking he can finally get his life back on track. RIP Reporter-chan, you fucked around and found out.

Voltron Rewritten Defender (1/8)

Also known as My Almost Raging Bitch List for this Goddamn Disastrous Disappointment of a Show

I binged all 8 seasons in under a week, so believe me when I say almost nothing was forgotten between seasons/episodes and I do tend to note that.

If it’s not obvious by the title, I’m planning an entire show AU. I am extremely open to people’s opinions on what I’m currently thinking and when I finally post this I’ll be open to criticism there too. If you would like to avoid seeing anything in regards to this feel free to blacklist #voltron_rewritten_defender because that’s what I’ll be using for this whole thing.

Enjoy, I guess.

Fair warning I am a multishipper, but for this show I leaned towards Klance, so if that bothers you that’s okay, I’m not going to be bashing any other ships (mainly just Dreamworks’ forced Allurance). If you think I missed something for any other ship lemme know! If you wanna have a ship discussion that’s cool too. The only other thing I can think of is that Allura’s attitude in S8 really stuck with me to the point that she bothered me throughout the entire rewatch (I was admittedly one of the people who thought she could be very Mary Sue ish when I first watched this) so that’ll show up now and again.

If you want to look at the Google Doc for the whole show, click the link, if not you can expand this post to see Season 1. I’ll be doing these in chunks, but as some of you know I do a FicRecList on one of my other accounts here @sorcerusdragonbionics​ so I’m gonna be alternating between that and these for the next couple days.

If you do the Google Route it’ll have you ask me for permission, this is normal and if you request it I’ll give you commenting abilities.

Key

Things I kinda wanna bitch about

Things I did genuinely enjoy and like 

Rewatch Thoughts (basically what I remember from further forward and how I feel like it reflects back on earlier seasons)

Ship Talk (behold my multishipping insanity)

Things I think I’ll do in the Rewrite

Writing Notes (mainly for me or as explanation for what I’m planning)

VA and Closed Captioning Things

Other Fic Thoughts

This ended up being music commentary in S8

Season One

Problems with the Season overall:

To be honest if I hated this season I wouldn’t’ve kept watching because by the time I started S3 had just dropped

Episode 1

Here’s the deal, WHY ARE YOU SO LONG BUT SO EMPTY?!?

Yeah, nope, that’s mostly it

Fix the problem of telling instead of showing about the other Lions and remove Allura’s explanation of the Lions if possible (thank you Kross for explaining why it felt so empty- this vid is actually where I started getting the idea to actually go through with a full series AU)

DON'T RUSH THE LION INTROS

Also let the 5 introduce themselves to Allura and Coran

Also Character Drive to Complete Mission Should Be A Thing

Flesh out Paladin Personalities so that the Aris Arrival is End of Part One (making it closer to the length of E1)

Flesh out Lion intros so part 2+3 are more like full Eps without Sendak

Episode 2

75 degrees… that’s definitely in Fahrenheit, which why?

How does no one have a watch with a date on them?

“A man can be driven to do anything if a beautiful woman is just really really mean to him”

More inbetween scenes bc I can

I will accept the transformation sequence here, I’m just not going to write it

Episode 3

Please watch the use of Earth Time Slices please, because it’s confusing

I love the portrayal of PTSD in this show and I would die before I change it

Bye bye transformation sequence

Pidge’s talk with Shiro can please change

Episode 4

“I say Vol, you say Tron” will come up again if it kills me

Lance, how do you know what hotdog water and feet taste like?

I love how Coran is completely nonchalant about the fact that he’s drinking a hair tonic

Shiro, don’t bring down the mood

Goddammit Sendak, you could stay for this arc, but god I want you GONE!

Keith, having an emotion? Really?

The Pidge plot DID NOT NEED TO HAPPEN LIKE THAT!

Fight me I will change it

Or minimally change the fact that their selfish motivations are revealed to BAD and should be changed

Oh yeah, let’s not give the ONE GUY with notable homesickness a character arc around that

That moment when you realize Allura is like ‘wtf is a peanut’

Allura, don’t push it, some people don’t want to talk about it

You will have something to talk about, BIOLOGY

Decryption happens here, and next attempt to find family occurs… when?

Poor Coran, if there is anyone who was more forgotten than Lance it was him

Keith isn’t wrong, but he also doesn’t know how to say it without getting mad, which mood

Just pointing out Lance is not only smart, but selfless, tell me how he’s not the main character

My inner Shance/Klance shipper is sobbing

“Bomb fuel” mentioned here, occurs… actually it’s ok

Timelines need to be a thing!

Can I make the fight scenes more intense? Yes, I write them for my YJ Scripts. Will I? Almost definitely.

Keith with that much fire your mask should be closed because smoke inhalation is bad

Can we explain Vrepit Sa before s6?

It feels like Coran forgets that 10k years have passed under an evil empire and part of me likes it, but it hurts me

Episode 5

The Katie flashback is hurts me

I want to add Gender Identity

Can we talk about how Shiro is a nickname for Takashi Shirogane?

That’s not how an EMP works

The Coran sitting on Hunk’s shoulders with a machine gun is everything

I know the back x-ray was a joke, but I still don’t like it

Rax is an idiot, just saying

Bonding Moment!!!

Episode 6

“Intergalactic time measuring competition.”

“We had a bonding moment!”

Where is Sendak’s arm?

Fight me, Pidge’s ‘gender speech’

It will be a gender speech if it kills me

Lance, why are you acting the way you are?

“I figured” and “We were supposed to think you were a boy” ARE NOT PROPER REACTIONS!

Rolo, sometimes I want to punch you in the teeth

Lance’s boner is going to get someone killed

Lance had 4sec of logic and then Nyma brings up Keith, which ofc does him in

Let’s expand on the Komar, yeah?

Quiznack means fuck and NO ONE can tell me otherwise

Keith’s ability to fly is impressive and it’s awesome

Friendly reminder that Lance acknowledged the bonding moment

Episode 7

I LOVE the laser gun sound effects!!!

I just realized that Allura has no clue what an Acronym is

We… literally just talked about this and YOU didn’t know that Shiro, I understand the point, but seriously?

LIONS are TELEPATHIC Shiro DID NOT need to say that aloud!

I do actually like the fact that Kieth gets excited before realizing what he did

FIRE and ICE PEOPLE come on! What the hell?! You barely had to try

“Yes sir?” Keith to Shiro, what?

I love them and their cute little arguments

Left vs Right, thank you Zamber

We be lovin’ Hunay bc it’s pure as hell

Thank you Shiro for validating Hunk’s concerns

You could check  a little faster, Allura

I LIVE for this scene

Was it actually Rolo?

Do they have teleporters?

Keith being weird is my favorite thing

I love good big bros who argue tradition to save their baby sis

Zarkon is a bit of a moron

THEIR LIVES ARE IN DANGER ALLURA!

They all came through different doors… how?

What if the answer was no?

I’m ok with Lance embarrassing himself when he’s cocky, some people seem to forget that

Bye transformation sequence, I explained you ONCE and that’s it

Prorock… why are you familiar?

Episode 8

I admittedly forgot that they didn’t know these things would be different

Flying fight scenes I can do, teleporting not so much

Poor Shiro he thought he had an idea and he was wrong

I love Coran’s reaction

Also NO SHIT Allura

UHHHH Pidge said that not and of the other three so how did He know?

Allura may piss me off, but I do love this speech

“Your Altean Energy”??? Coran, you’re an Altean, I’m confused.

The “Sacred Altean” thing I get, but you must be more specific cuz it makes Coran sound like he thinks he’s not a proper Altean.

Oof, angsty

Also, I  know we can’t kill Allura yet, but... 

I love that Hunk forgot they hadn’t formed Voltron

Bye bye transformation sequence

Ummm, they NEED to explain the Bayard Equip bc that’s… two very different things that occurred between Hunk and Keith’s Bayard Weapons

Why is this a scene? It’s not a dog. So, yeah, I’m with Keith here

Episode 9

THIS IS NOT HEALTHY ALLURA!

I just realized that this doesn’t come back until S..7? 8? Whatever, WAY too long

I can’t unhear “Training Dick”

Did they have homework on Altea?

Be still my Punk shipper heart

WHY is he SO pretty?!

Y’know, the glowing red eye is usually a bad sign

I could SO mean and hurt Keith here

That moment when you’re like 90% sure Shiro heard that somewhere

Not what haunted means Coran, but accurate

Why could Lance see Alfor for a second?

I too would like the answer to “where was the Red Lion?”

PTSD IS AMAZINGLY WRITTEN!

It’s a shame this is NEVER treated properly again

Thank you for NOT making the swimming thing a thing

You didn’t need to TRY Voltron, what the hell?!

Here’s the deal,  Altea not being Obliterated-obliterated is actually a really interesting idea

Lance still wins, for the record

If she was infected in any way this wouldn’t drive me crazier than a bot on Halloween

But she’s not so this is BULL

Shallura confuses me SO much…

Ok, admittedly the scene with Allura and Alfor is beautifully heartbreaking

Episode 10

The fact that Zarkon was a close friend to Alfor should be addressed

Also Shiro calling himself “an inexperienced Pilot” hurts

Allura’s a MORON!

YES! MASSIVE ISSUE WITH YOU COMING

Nice puppetry Hunk

What happened to THIS Allura?! She’s reckless but not INSANE (or so boring I might cry)!

Is this the same Druid from Season 8? Pretty sure it’s 8… I forget which, but the one Keith fought

“Don’t walk through that door!” / Keith does/ “I think I told him” // “You are a paragon of leadership, Lance”

Hehheh I love Hunk teasing Lance about Allura

I do actually the fact that I can’t tell what size the purple container is until Keith grabs it

Heheh the Allura interacting with the Galra soldier

The computer sounds like Lance

Also Shiro had that “holy shit” moment

I HATE WRITING TELELPORTING FIGHTS

I’m 99% sure that the ONLY reason I didn’t fall into the Galra Keith rabbit hole was the fact that I binge watched

This scene confuses me… so much now that I know Shallura was apparently never going to be a thing

So confused

Episode 11

That hair flip though...

Coran, I get it, but calm down

Okay, but Keith has a point. Seriously, he’s not wrong. 

For the record, Haggar scares me

So much makes so much more sense now that we know Zarkon is the Original Black Paladin

That… makes no sense… “enough essence to open a wormhole”

Why are you transforming? More pieces to shoot at is usually a smart idea…

Hey hey, THACE!

Why can’t you have two active at once? I’m honestly serious.

I mean too OP, got it, but you can maneuver around that for temporary stuff

Shiro, use your words, yeah?

“Thinking” uh huh you mean “telepathy” right?

I genuinely forgot that Shiro got booted from Black

Damn! Yes Shiro! Kick some ass!

Ok, here’s the deal, Keith’s not listening to Coran, but he doesn’t have all the info (LIKE THE FUCKING BAYARD), Zarkon’s the OG Paladin, and he’s in distress

I HATE TELEPORTERS!

“Could have been” … uh Kuron exists ?? 

Also, Shiro with yellow eyes is fucking terrifying

We ain’t ficking stupid VLD

Zarkon’s a fucking idiot

Written properly his power-hungry attitude works even with him destroying his own ship

But it wasn’t so it’s null

You aren’t even subtle about Galra Keith

How can Allura see through Illusions?

Nobody knows!

Shiro, you have no jetpack, how are you so fast?

“Who cares, wormhole!” mood

I… uh… I want to do SO many things with this idea

Preferably not what they actually do...

[fanders-sanctuary-au]

Pint-sized Pining

I worked on this with the wonderful @cefinitely-rolo and I think she deserves some credit for this too! Thanks for all the ideas!

________________________

“I don’t know, Vi, something about her is just… Off,” I mumbled, picking at a few fibers on my friend’s bed. “Well, maybe you should get to know her, Ames, she doesn’t seem all that bad.” She responded, not looking up from posting something on the sanctuary’s Twitter. “But she’s so stubborn! She won’t even consider going to therapy, and even I went after I was healthy.” I sighed, looking up from my assault on Violet’s blanket. “If I remember correctly, you bitched and whined about it for almost a week before Emile dragged you into his office when you woke up screaming one night.”

“That’s different! I didn’t think I needed it, y'know?”

“Well did you ever think maybe Christina feels the same way? That she doesn’t need help?” Violet countered, turning away from her computer to face me with an amused glare.

I groaned and rolled over on the bed, my voice coming out muffled when I spoke next. “Ugggghhhh, fiiiinne, I’ll make an effort” I whined, sitting up and making grabby hands at Violet, signaling that I wanted help off the bed. She held out her hand and I hopped on, allowing her to gently lower me to the ground. “Thanks Vi, I’ll go and talk to her.”

“Good, go on, and if I hear one more report of you and Virgil having a screaming match, I’m not coming to your defense.” Violet chuckled, gently shoving me out the door of her bedroom.

“Love you to Vivi!”

___________________

“Okay, make an effort, make an effort. C'mon, Ames, you’re an inch taller than her, it can’t be that hard to talk with someone so tiny right?” I mumbled to myself, not really paying attention to where I was walking until- WHAM - I collided with another borrower that I hadn’t even noticed walking towards me.

“Oowww, hey! Watch where you’re walking you-!” The tiny suddenly cut off, staring at me with a combination of horror and blush. “Oh god, I’m sorry I didn’t mean to- ah! Christina, I was looking for you, are you okay? Your face is super red, did I hit your nose or something?” I asked, reaching my hand out to her face, but she jerked back before I could do anything. “I’m fine! Don’t touch-! I mean, I’m fine, thanks though.” Christina rushed out in all one breath. “You-uh, said you needed something, what’s up?” She asked, trying her best to compose herself before facing me. “Oh um, I know we haven’t really made an effort to really talk to each other, and I wanted to get to know each other, y'know?”

Christina started at me for a long time, whether with annoyance or confusion, I wasn’t sure, but after a while she opened her mouth again. “I would love to but Larry convinced me to go to therapy and that’s where I’m headed now, so maybe take a raincheck?” She offered, looking legitimately disappointed, so I nodded. “Of course, not a problem, maybe after?”

“Uhh, yeah, sure. I need to go now!” She waved a hasty goodbye and ran off in the direction of not Larry’s office, but Patton’s room. I stared after her for a few minutes before turning and walking to the Borrower Boulevard.

A few hours later I sat on my bed, reading a book and generally staring off into nothing, when I heard a knock at my door.

“Come in!” I called to the person behind the door. I thought I was going to be Patton or Virgil, but instead walked in Christina, holding a cupcake. “Hey, uhh, I wanted to um, give you this cupcake. Um, yeah!” She squeaked, her voice a much higher pitch than normal.

“Oh! Thank-” before I could finish the sentence, she had already ran out the room, leaving my door slightly ajar. I picked up the tiny cupcake off the ground and looked at the icing scrawled on top it, spelling out ‘<3 U.’ I stared at it for a bit, not sure why Christina of all people would hand me a cupcake, but I honestly don’t understand the girl at all, so maybe this is her way of saying she wants to make amends for our awkward meet a few hours ago.

I shrugged and but into the cupcake, surprised to find that it was peanut butter, my favorite flavor.

_____________

“I swear, it’s insane! The girl won’t say two words to me, but almost every other day I find something from her at my doorway!” I ranted to Virgil. “It’s been almost a month! I don’t understand it at all!”

Virgil sat in silence for a moment and took a deep breath. “Oh you oblivious fucker,” he sighed, rubbing his temples.

“What?! What is that supposed to mean Virge? Nothing she does makes sense!” I groaned, standing up from Virgil’s bed and beginning to pace. “Listen Ames, maybe Christina feels something towards you.” Virgil offered.

“Christina? No way,” I scoffed, “she doesn’t seem like the type to just leave random gifts and say nothing about it! I mean, just this morning, she burst into my bedroom, yeeted a bouquet of flowers at me, stared me in the eye for a few seconds, and just booked it! I swear she’s insane!” I yelled, feeling my cheeks start to heat up.

“Ames, you’re blushing”

“Am not!”

“You totally like her!”

“Shut up! I’m gonna fuckin strangle you, you emo nightmare!”

“AMELIA LIKES CHRISTINA! AMELIA LIKES CHRISTINA!”

“SHUT UP!”

_____________

A few days later, I heard a timid knock at my door and after allowing the person to enter, Christina walked in, looking one part bashful and one part ashamed.

“Hey, um… I just wanted to apologise for my- y'know- behavior this last month…” she mumbled, picking at a loose thread on her shirt.

“Oh! I was actually wondering why you stopped doing all those odd gestures of flirting.” I laughed lightly, standing up and walking over to her.

“You-you we’re? I thought for sure that it was annoying, I even talked with Thomas and Violet, and even they said to stop, that you didn’t like all those big gestures and I was doing it wrong.”

“Well, yes I do prefer smaller things, just simple things like wanting to be near me is often enough, but I did appreciate you trying. How did you know my favorite cake flavor by the way, I’ve only ever said that to….” I cut myself off and sighed, “you’ve been conspiring with Patton haven’t you?”

By the blush on Christina’s face, I knew I was right.

“Listen, I know you’re trying and I appreciate it, but whatever your doing isn’t going to win my affection so easily. I want it be friends with someone before I want to date them, so for now, and we’ll see where it goes from there, friends?”

Christina faced me with a flirty expression, “friends with benefits?”

“Friends.”

She gave me a cute pout and sighed, “oh, okay, friends then.”

~~~~~

Tonight was shaping up to be one of the blessedly quieter shifts.

Lance gripped the glass and cleaning cloth more tightly than necessary when the last patron finally stood from his seat. He was used to customers chatting it up even in these late hours, and well aware his own motor mouth was sometimes to blame for that.

It was still a few minutes before closing time. To be able to lock the doors on schedule was almost too good to be true in his line of work, and he prayed for it more days than not. Under the bar held dozens of coffee and tea cups that he’d used to serve customers all day - already cleaned twice over.

Beneath his feet, hundreds more glassware along with the distillery and wine cellar.

Coffeehouse by day. Illegal bar by night.

Lance hadn’t known about the illegal part when he had been recruited for the barista job. New to the city and without much work experience outside the family farm, he’d been thankful to land such a well paying job right away. The service part fit him well, to be able to socialize with regulars and newcomers alike. He loved it.

Of course, the mafia had the funds to pay well. The thought ‘is it worth it’ had crossed his mind numerous times. Once after the first police raid. Again after he’d arrived at work one morning to find the windows broken and the wall littered in bullet holes.

He’d tried to quit, only for his boss to insinuate that it would be extremely detrimental to his health should he do so.

So now he kept a calm facade to fit the job. A well of fear and healthy paranoia hidden underneath.

The man pushed in his chair at one of the many simple wooden tables, more polite than most Lance admitted. He adjusted his fedora and puffed the collar on his trenchcoat, further hiding his face. Instead of going for the door, he made a beeline towards the counter. Lance held back a terrified whimper, his stomach twisting in knots and throat constricted by his tie. The man hadn’t said so much as a word when he’d come in around dusk. Lance had nothing to base his personality on, and had no way to predict what he would do next.

Was he from a rival gang? Undercover cop? Would he interrogate Lance? Leave a message for a fellow mob member?

Shoot him?

Lance kept his hands above the bar - a sign he was non threatening - and made himself busy cleaning the glass for the fifth time over. He forced a warm, cheerful smile as the man approached. Shorter than he appeared from afar, it gave Lance enough false ease to find words. “Anything I can get you for the trip home?” he asked noncommittally. Who knew if he had a gun or a knife on him?

Unexpectedly, the man dumped a half dollar on the counter. “That was good tea. Best I’ve had in the West.”

Caught off guard, Lance found himself gaping. Nevermind that New York City was as far east as one could get. “Um, thanks?” he responded. The guy didn’t seem too bad. Tempered relief set in that maybe he’d live another day after all. “No need to leave a tip. It's what I get paid for after all.”

The unusual customer didn’t respond right away, and for a few precious seconds that seemed to last an hour Lance took a really good look at the man’s face. His eyes, some type of light brown, locked onto him from behind spectacles. They were inquisitive, as if sizing him up. For what purpose Lance hoped he wouldn’t find out.

Frowning, the man took off his hat, revealing messy auburn hair - a style unusual for men in the area. Lance didn’t have time to process the fact the man wore a single green stud on one ear. “You’re just a bystander, aren’t you?” the man finally said.

Lance involuntarily stepped back and dropped the glass. It shattered, the sound echoing through the far too quiet room. He was really going to lose his nerves now? So close to going home for the day?

“I thought as much,” the man said. He placed his hat on the counter. “Put this on. We don’t have much time.” After the hat, it was the navy trenchcoat. The man glared when Lance made no move. “I’m assuming you don’t want to die. Hurry.”

Lance no longer needed any motivation. He did as was told, the coat covering up his vest-and-tie uniform and the hat hiding his hair.

“Okay, I’m finished,” Lance said quickly. His heart beat swiftly and his hands shook. His nightmares were about to be realized. There was something going down and he was about to be in the middle of it. He was probably about to be kidnapped, that was nearly a given. He had no useful information for whatever organization this person was with, and he knew his bosses didn’t care. Maybe if he told them ahead of time, before they got into a dark alley. “Just so you know, I’m - “ Lance stopped mid-sentence. “What are you doing?”

The stranger was in the middle of unbuttoning his shirt, which while strange, wasn’t the weirdest thing Lance had ever seen. He’d had roommates before. Underneath the shirt, a sparkling green top with a gathered cowl. A silver necklace. The pants came off and revealed the green shirt was actually a dress.

“I’ll be done soon. Grab anything personal you want to take with. We aren’t coming back.” A green headband was placed amidst the wavy locks. A glare. “You’ve never seen a girl undercover before?”

The feeling of imminent danger took a backseat in his mind. “You’re a girl?” Lance yelped intelligently. It wasn’t particularly a strange idea to him - for a woman to dress as a man - but after hours of believing her disguise and the whirlwind reveal he couldn’t help but feel shocked.

“The name is Pidge,” she told him. She fascend the matching pair to her earring on her free lobe. “Stick close and you’ll be fine. I’ll get you to a safe place.”

Lance took in the quiet of the room. Each table had already been cleaned aside from the one Pidge had just vacated. All the chairs rested upside down, clearing the floor for the mopping he had been intending on doing before leaving. It didn’t seem like anything was amiss, but Lance knew better. The thugs from across town needed only the slightest provocation to drive by and start shooting. If they knew about the new proof....

Lance didn’t want to be here if they did.

“How do I know I can trust you? Who are you even with?” he demanded, emboldened by the nonchalance Pidge had so far exhibited. And the fact she hadn’t pulled a gun on him - yet.

Pidge unclasped a pocket watch, unraveling the golden chain that had acted as a belt. She flipped it open and bit her lip. “I suppose you don’t. No time to explain. In five minutes this place won’t be standing. Where’s the trap door?”

“No, no way. You don’t want to go down there,” Lance insisted. “You see what they’re doing and they will kill you.”

To his astonishment, Pidge merely smirked. “I’m not worried about the mafia. Where’s the door,” she stressed again.

She seemed to know what she was doing, and wasn’t threatening him necessarily. Maybe, just maybe this was his way out. “Okay,” he breathed decisively. “It’s right here.” Without waiting for her, Lance knelt and lifted the floorboards. “Once I open the door the alarms are going to go off. Is that okay?”

“That’s fine,” Pidge said. She jumped the counter - in that dress?! Landing near him, she helped peel off the other boards. “I only need a few minutes and we’ll escape through the basement.”

Lance raised his head fearfully. “The only door to the outside is guarded by the top brass. They’ll kill us as soon as they see us. I’m a good shot with a gun - if we had one.”

“We don’t need a gun,” Pidge insisted. She tore away the final panel and opened the door without hesitation. “Follow me and do exactly as I say,” she warned before climbing down the ladder.

Lance took a deep breath. He was either going to be free or die tonight. No going back now.

The cellar was fully lit at all times thanks to the owner’s brother being president of the electric company. The labels were easier to read and the energy bills child’s play to cover up. Whiskey barrels lined the walls and wine racks filled much of the center. Pidge walked barefoot through the aisles, brows furrowed in concentration. She held the pocket watch in her hand, moving it through the air above her head.

He cocked his head to the side, brows furrowed in thought. She looked gorgeous with the dress and the jewelry - even the short messy hair was exceptionally cute on her frame. Lance inwardly sighed. There was always something about confident women that Lance felt drawn to. Most days he would relish in it - tonight it filled him with dread.

He figured there was a decent chance either way that Pidge knew exactly what she was doing, or was insane. And he’d thrown his lot in with her.

“Look, I don’t know what you think you’re doing, but maybe we can just leave through the front door?” he asked hopefully.

“No,” Pidge told him quickly as she stopped in her tracks. She bit her lip. “It’s not here. Rolo was lying.” She cursed and tapped her earring. “Allura, the mission is a no go. I need an extraction for two.”

Lance was about to laugh, until it actually glowed green - just like a flickering bulb - and another woman’s voice filled the void. “Two? Pidge, you know the rules.”

“He’s going to die if I don’t take him with me. The Blue Lion isn’t here and I only have,” she gazed at her watch, “two minutes before this place goes up in flames.”

The earring lit up again, flashing with each word. “Understood. Transport is a go. I’ll see you back at headquarters for debriefing. We will be talking about this.”

“Fine,” Pidge said. Her face twisted in annoyance. “Over and out.” Without another word Pidge moved towards the far wall, pocket watch glowing brighter with every step just as her earrings had.

“Okay, hold it,” Lance finally said, stunned. “What the quiznack just happened?”

“Saving your life. You’re welcome,” Pidge said curtly. Climbing on top of a whiskey barrel, she held the pocket watch out against the wall. It began to glow a golden hue - brighter than the spectacle at the World’s Fair.

Shouts from near the back broke him out of his wonderment. The guards had discovered they were here. “Whatever you’re doing, you’d better do it fast,” Lance yelped.

“I told you to stay near me! Hurry and grab hold of me or you’ll be left behind!” Pidge yelled frantically.

The surprise from the voice from out of nowhere and objects that glowed without a clear source of power were overridden by the need to survive. Even if the situation made no sense, Pidge held a confidence that Lance was willing to believe it.

He wasn’t fast enough. Pidge growled and met him halfway, dragging him by his wrist back to the wall that she once again put her pocket watch against. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, keeping a watchful eye behind them for the guards.

Just as two machine guns rounded the corner, cocked to fire, Lance’s vision engulfed in white.

The scenery turned to black, with streams of white and green light dancing like the northern lights all around him. Lance forgot to breathe.

It ended as suddenly as it had begun. The void morphed into a room. Metal walls lined the sides along with strange machinery beyond Lance’s wildest imagination.

“Pidge!” a male voice yelled, accompanied by hurried footsteps. Lance tentatively opened his eyes to a man with two toned hair rushing up to them. His gaze found Lance, and there was disappointment. “You didn’t find either of them,” he stated.

“No,” Pidge responded, subdued. Lance had to take a double take that it was even the same Pidge he’d just met. The tone sounded...wrong. A far cry from the confidence of earlier. “No sign of Dad or Matt. No Blue Lion either. Sorry Shiro, Allura.”

The man, Shiro, sighed. “You did what you could, Pidge. We’ll find other leads.”

“Shiro is right.” The voice was the same as the disembodied one from the cellar. The woman it belonged to stood tall off to his left, hands folded in front of her. “We’ve made due after false reports before and we shall do so again.” She turned to him. “In the meantime, it seems we have a debriefing to do.”

There was silence and Lance found himself increasingly out of sorts. “Yes,” he said firmly. With confidence he didn’t feel and running off pure annoyance at understanding nothing now that his life was not in immediate danger. “What’re the onions here?! What are the weird glowing things - and we were just in a basement. Why aren’t we outside?”

“Allura, perhaps you’d be best to explain. Voltron is your project,” Shiro offered.

Allura nodded. She offered him a sympathetic smile. Lance’s insides twisted. Somehow he knew he wasn’t going to like the news, even if it did come from a yet another doll.

“My name is Allura. This is Shiro,” she gestured to the man, “has said. You’ve already met Pidge. She, and the rest of us, are on a mission to find the Voltron Lions,” she explained. “You see, they were scattered across time and we need to find them before the Galra do.”

There were several things in Allura’s explanation that didn’t make sense to Lance. He latched on to the one thing that he felt he could come close to understanding. He wasn’t sure he liked the implications though. It was too wild, too inconceivable.

“When you - when you say ‘across time’...?”

Allura nodded. “You have traveled roughly two hundred years into the future,” she explained.

Lance’s mind froze anyway.

“It’s not as bad as you think!” Pidge said quickly. She held his arm, providing a grounding presence Lance hadn’t realized he needed. “We all come from different time periods. Allura’s actually from ten thousand years from now. Shiro is from feudal Japan originally! My family are the only ones from around this time period.”

Lance stared. Pidge in her flapper dress looked as if she’d fit right in to any nightclub in the city. It was a disparity compared to the futuristic and downright alien clothing Shiro and Allura wore.

“So now what?” he asked, eyes landing on each of his hosts. “What about the mafia - the shop?”

“Look - Lance, right?” Pidge continued.

“How do you even know my name?” he squeaked.

“It doesn’t matter,” she evaded. “The shop is gone. It burned down that night by a rival - to stop Giovanni from making even more money. He was killed a few days later. There was only one casualty that night. Used to be only one anyway.”

The silence told Lance everything he needed to know. He would have died that night. He swallowed hard. “Oh. I see.”

Allura cleared her throat. “History will still record your death, but obviously you’re here now. It will take some getting used to, but I hope you’ll come to understand the importance of why we do what we do.”

“Welcome to the team,” Shiro chimed in, giving him a reassuring smile. “I know from experience how insane all of this is right now, but it will grow on you in time. It’s all human progress - just a lot faster than you’re used to.”

“Most of its human anyway,” Pidge quipped - a light smile on her face. Allura blushed and Lance couldn’t help but feel he was missing out on something very important once more.

“So what happens now?” Lance asked. His heart panged. If this really was the future, his family was long dead. He’d prepared for the thought of dying before them, but not being the one to outlive even his nieces and nephews. Tears pricked at his eyes, and contrary to his mood, a yawn escaped from his mouth.

“You’ll probably want some sleep,” Pidge said. “It was pretty late when I picked you up. Come on, I’ll show you the rooms.” She turned to the others. “I’ll give you my report later. I didn’t even get so much as blip in my readings.”

Shiro nodded. “Get some rest yourself. We’ll wait up for Keith and Hunk.”

Lance allowed Pidge to pull him along. It wasn’t the urgency or energy of earlier, for which he was grateful. The information on where he was swarmed his mind, and he half expected at any moment he would wake up from the strangest of dreams.

They entered a hallway with narrow, oval doors, raised slightly off the ground, reminding Lance of the interior of an ocean liner. Pidge paused at one, opening it and allowing the door to swing inside. “No one’s using this one. Most of us sleep in this area, so if you need anything just knock on any door.”

The room was small, big enough for a large bed and a desk. All of them bolted down to the floor. Lance stepped up over the threshold and shuffled in. He sat on the bed and melted. It was the most comfortable thing he’d ever felt. He rubbed his hands over the soft blanket and the down pillows. These items must cost a fortune.

“This is all pretty standard nowadays,” Pidge explained. She stepped into the room herself. “Shiro had the same questions.”

“This is amazing,” Lance found himself saying. He chuckled. “Not exactly how I thought my day would go.”

“Hopefully better?” Pidge asked.

Lance couldn’t help but laugh. He took off the hat she’d given him and set it to the side. In a strange situation, his future a complete unknown, he handled it the only way he felt comfortable. “My life was saved by an air tight gal - what more could I ask for,” he told her suavely. Or at least he hoped he did. He’d do better once he get used to this place and could match her confidence. “And I get a pretty darb room all to myself.”

“A what and a what now?” she asked, face reeking of confusion.

He sighed as he unbuttoned the trenchcoat. “Nevermind. Where’s the bathroom?”

Pidge walked over to the wall across from the bed. Tapping twice, a door - which hadn’t been there before because it had definitely been a solid wall - opened. She had the audacity to laugh as he jumped in surprise.

“This is balled up,” he breathed. “Is this normal?”

“Not everything,” Pidge admitted. “Allura is from the far future. A lot of this stuff was new to me too.” She grinned. “Pretty cool isn’t it?”

Lance rubbed his hands through the covers. “Feels pretty warm to me.”

“Okay, let's not use period phrases for a while,” Pidge said. Her face clearly said annoyed. “Do you have any questions before I let you nap?”

Lance frowned, and dropped his head in thought. He could ask if he was really safe. What these people did. What was Voltron exactly?

“Why did you save me?” he finally settled on.

Pidge’s eye seemed to grow in size, her mouth parting in incredulity. Her gaze tore from him to the floor.

“I’m tired of not being able to save anyone,” she explained. “We have all this technology and I still can’t find my family,” she continued in frustration. “Even if I can’t alter events - I can at least save one person.” Lance couldn’t tell if he was still breathing as she looked back up at him, continuing in a softer tone. “A dear friend of mine once told me that. I’ve tried to live by it since. We found Shiro. Keith and Hunk too. They were in the same situation you were - now we all work together to find Voltron and stop the Galra from interfering with the timeline.”

“That’s… a lot…” Lance managed, stunned. He coughed, the silence becoming slightly uncomfortable. “I always wanted to be more than a farmer’s son,” he explained. “I want to help however I can.” He smiled warmly. “And it's the least I can do for saving my life.”

“Don’t thank me just yet,” Pidge grinned. She placed a hand on her hip. “Stuff can get pretty crazy around here. I can at least guarantee it won’t be boring.”

A challenge. Something welled up inside Lance that he hadn’t felt in years. “I live for excitement,” he bragged. “The patrons loved me at the coffee shop. I could spin a tale like you wouldn’t believe.”

“Hang on then,” Pidge said as she stepped out the door. “Because I promise you’re going to see things beyond your wildest dreams. Night, Lance.”

She left, closing the door behind her.

Lance whistled. His heart beat swiftly, this time with excitement and not from fear. He was very much looking forward to this new chapter in his life. There would be time for sorrow over his loved ones, but at least he was alive to do so.

He liked Pidge too. She was self assured and knew exactly what she was doing - not to mention pretty cute and a kind heart to boot. She wasn’t afraid to exchange banter either.

Yes, Lance was very much looking forward to learning all about his new life.

[canaryatlaw]

well, today was okay. kind of in a crappy mood due to a couple of different things, nothing serious, just the same lingering bullshit I’ve been dealing with for weeks now, yet it still manages to feel like betrayal....I don't know why I keep putting myself up to this. but, anyway. Last night I’d left off with our family friend (whose name I’m okay with using because she was definitely on tumblr and following me at some point though idk if she still does but also because her name is also Rachel) about meeting for breakfast at like 9:30, so I set my alarm for 8:30 which is way more time than I would need to get ready by myself (I’m generally 25 minutes max) but since I was with my family and everything I knew it would be a whole production and we’d need time. So it went off and we started to get ready, eventually ubering to our final destination, where we met up with Rachel (other Rachel, of course). Our families have been friends for years and years, her family is back in New York where mine is normally but she lives out here, but she works managing a restaurant and logs like, 75 hour weeks, which is insanity by any measure really (when I was working 50 hour work weeks I was constantly exhausted) so we don’t end up seeing each other very often, but since the family was here we made it happen. It was a really cute little place, I got corned beef hash with eggs which is a non-traditional breakfast choice for me because when I’m at a restaurant I tend to be more of the pancakes/french toast/waffle type than eggs, but I really like corned beef hash (I discovered it on one of our childhood trips to dutch country Pennsylvania in the buffet bar) and never really get to eat it, so I thought I’d take the opportunity here and it was super delicious. It ends up that the restaurant was in the same restaurant group as the one Rachel manages, and because of that they decided to comp all our meals, which was very generous given that there was six of us haha so it was not an insignificant amount. my dad was like so confused though. he loves buying things for other people (like legit, he does) and he was just like what, you mean I don’t get to pay?? 😂😂 he figured it out soon enough though. after breakfast we ended up walking a bit towards the hotel and the loop, and walked along the river for a while which was very nice. There was a ton of kids on one of the river tour boats (definitely like a field trip) that passed us and literally all of them were waving at us and screaming HIIIII and it was really cute. We ended up walking back to the hotel, where we hung out for a bit until the shuttle came to take my family to the airport. so we said goodbyes, and they left, then Rachel and I decided to get go ice cream haha because we could. we took the bus a few stops up and then walked a little to a Jeni’s ice cream store, which I think I’ve been to with Rachel once before but I’m always down for ice cream of course and this was insanely good (apparently they sell pints in whole foods if you’d like to try for yourself). I got one scoop of cream puff (which was like, the most heavenly thing, it was even better than an actual cream puff because it was ICE CREAM that tasted like one) and one scoop of brambleberry crisp, which was of course also delicious. They really like, also mastered getting the scoops to be perfectly round so they fit in your cone perfectly and it’s not like a constant challenge of trying to eat the ice cream before it melts (these are the things I worry about when eating ice cream). So we ate our ice cream and talked for a while before parting ways, I walked back to the bus route and took that the rest of the way north as it got me pretty close to my apartment (it’s the second closest bus stop/route to me), I could’ve done the red line but that was a little further out of my way and I still had my big bag of stuff from staying over with me which was gonna be a real pain in the ass to carry around. When I had to get off the bus, while I was trying to pick it up one of the straps broke, so I had to carry it from the bottom and goddddd was it heavy, I would walk like 20 feet and then have to put it down and rest my arms lol (again, I am so, so weak). Eventually I made it all the way to my apartment, my right hand is like bruised on the inside right below my fingers, not like a traditional bruise but it’s red and tender lol and I’m trying not to add any suspicious marks because I already have a super noticeable bruise on my forearm from carrying a too heavy shopping bag for too long (either that or my too heavy purse, could be either one, did I mention the strap of my purse also fell off?? that was like March though) and like, just dealing with all the stuff I see at the DV clinic I’d rather just not give people reasons to speculate about such things, lol. for some reason it reminded me of when I was observing a trial and there were domestic violence allegations, i.e. mom was getting beaten up by boyfriend and that made her an inadequate mother because it meant she couldn’t keep her kids safe (a premise which is of course flawed but that’s an entirely different conversation we’d have to have) and her public defender decided to argue that she believed it was the 15 year old son who was actually hitting his mother, and the mother wouldn’t say anything because she was protecting him, and I just remember sitting there like what the actual fuck, and the judge very much did not appreciate what she was trying to argue by essentially maligning a child on no evidence whatsoever other than her opinion, definitely not an argument unfamiliar to public defenders in juvenile court, because if a kid comes forward with accusations of abuse, of course one of the arguments you’re going to use is saying the kid is lying, which I still think is awful, but I understand why it is used (but I still hate it). Anyway, tangent. I got home and like, laid down on my bed for like 20 minutes with my eyes closed while also listening to the latest legends of tomorrow podcast episode for their season 3 wrap up. when that was finished I just went on my laptop for a bit, doing a few random things and looking up some recipes so I’d find something to make. I decided I really wanted brownies, but I knew I didn’t have any actual chocolate, just cocoa powder and different types of candies. so I looked up what happens when you melt m&ms (which just sounds like an amusing premise to me) and it looked like it would work out pretty well, so I used those for the chocolate that was to be melted, and then used a combination of m&ms and rolos for the part of the recipe that called for chocolate chips. they turned out pretty good, the bottoms were kinda hard and somewhat plasticy because of the candy pieces, but the parts with the caramel from the rolos were super great, so that was good. I made a quick parmesan pasta soup recipe for dinner (which as heavenly) and sat down to watch Supergirl. Again, my feelings are mixed because I’m somewhat invested in the whole Sam/Ruby/Lena plot but at this point really do not give a flying fuck about most of the other characters at this point. I liked the Alex helping take care of Ruby plot, and I did really get a kick out of them using Lex’s old mansion (which has an invisibility cloak on it???) as a hideout, that was pretty cool. I felt so bad for Ruby of course throughout the episode but especially at the end, having to deal with seeing her mom like that in something that is so unexplainable and horrific. The fact that they’re giving Alex and Ruby more interaction makes me think they’re gonna go the route of something happening to Sam and Alex then taking care of Ruby, which, as much of a sweet plot line that would make for Alex, I really do not want to happen because I very much want a happy ending for Sam and Ruby and for Sam not to end up killed over something that was very much not her fault (see, now I’m thinking about season 8 of Smallville and being like but did I blame Davis for what he couldn’t control??? but most of his objectionable behaviors were choices he actually made, not the monster, especially culminating in that one character death that I am never going to forgive the writers for, ever, so as much as these plots are similar the characters outside of the monsters are very different). But yeah, that was all I really got from the episode, I could not care less about Meh-El returning to help them fight Reign, essentially with a go fuck her pass from his wife, which was really the only way they could justify it being okay for him to have feelings for Kara. Anyway. When it was over I tuned right into The Resident for their season finale, and hooooooly shit man, it was so good!!! I’m actually really impressed with the show so far, they've been consistently knocking it out of the park for pretty much the entire season, which is no easy feat, as I’m sure plenty of one season shows could tell you. I thought they did an excellent job of wrapping up what was really a very complicated plot within one episode, when it looked like it was going to take longer than that, but they did it in a way that didn’t actually feel rushed or forced, just very well done. Of course Bell is going to stay in power for now, he’s more of a long term villain (”villain”) when of course Lane is going to be the one to take the fall. When he was talking to her about it I knew he was setting her up, the cold son of a bitch that he was, but I mean it certainly worked out well for him. With the twist at the very end involving Conrad’s father, I was VERY glad we got a season 2, because that is wayyyyyyyyy too good of a hook to just have been dropped. I’m quite excited for what next season will bring us. When that was over I went to last night’s Brooklyn 99, which was excellent as always, we’re so close to Jake and Amy’s wedding!!! and of course, watching it this week after everything that happened over the past couple of days felt that much more satisfying, knowing that they tried to end it but the show and its fan pulled through and gave it new life. like man, if there ever was a question about the influence of social media, this incident surely should have answered it. So that was good of course. But then I watched Designated Survivor, which I had to watch with the knowledge that they did not get renewed, and that we only had two episodes left 😔😔 I was very sad about this because I really do love this show so much (and not just because it’s made my Gugg’s brother and I’d much rather support him over Guggs) because of Kiefer and how much I love his acting, and of course Italia is a gem, and I had such a lovely time talking to her about it back in San Jose in December. Hearing her talk about Kiefer and him telling her how she needs to watch 24, it was just so sweet, I really liked it. I did hear from a source that the reason for the cancellation was more about behind the scenes things than ratings or anything, which is disappointing of course because you want to think that everyone making a show gets along swell, but of course that’s not always the actual case. Oh well. As far as the actual episode, it was pretty quality, I died at the opening scene with Kendra, this show really writes its female characters so well in that I absolutely adore all of them, they’re all just these brilliant strong women who don’t take shit from anybody and I love them all. The main plot was kinda meh, I know they said Michael J Fox would be around for the rest of the season but they really should’ve just given him an official role, as opposed to finding a way to shoehorn him into the plot every week in increasingly ridiculous positions, and it just gives me way too many good wife feelings, not just because he’s playing the same exact fucking character, but also because they had a way of shoehorning characters into plots with about as much tact as they showed here. When it got down to the whole special counsel thing and Kendra was like “it’s not even clear if any charges can be levied against a sitting president” which made me LOL because way to be relevant and throw little pieces of current events in there, even when the people in their government are really superior to ours in pretty much every way, and that I will for sure miss. President Jack Bauer.....I will always have a special place in my heart for you, lol. After that I watched the news for a few minutes before watching Jimmy Kimmel, then catching the opening monologue of Seth Meyers, who is always consistently funny, and then finally getting ready for bed. Tomorrow I have PT at 2 but nothing to do before then so I’ll probably sleep (it is already 2:30 am right now) and then maybe get some groceries. My bar prep course doesn't officially start till next Tuesday, so I have a week to myself, though I’m starting at the DV clinic on Friday for one day a week, so that should be good. I really, really hope I hear from the NY job in the next few days so I’ll at least know where I’m standing with all of this. Okay, that’s enough for now, my eyes are getting droopy and I think it’s a good time to let them stay shut. Goodnight friends. Sending you lots of love.

Do you have any guesses at the new campaigns character classes? I think Travis will go with matts werewolf homebrew, and Laura will do wizard with a familiar.

Ummmm I’d say I have more hopes than guesses! :P I’ve heard some rumours around, but mostly these are just Things I Would Be Most Excited For:

Travis - Yeah I’d love for him to play the werewolf blood hunter :’D I think it would be particularly rad if he built a Dex-based character so he could kinda take over the scouting/sneaking role from Liam (he’ll also probably want the Dex so he can use ranged weapons, because Grog not being close enough to hit shit was his main frustration late in the campaign). He should DEFINITELY play someone smart so we can all see how evil and cunning he really is~! mwahaha. I have a feeling he could easily be party leader if his character was permitted the intelligence to make decisions. The only thing I know for sure is he’s not playing a monk, because Matt joked about his new character not being able to move 50 feet in a round like Grog could, and monks get speed boosts. And like - even if he’s not a blood hunter, I’m expecting a werewolf plotline B)

Ashley - :( because of Blindspot commitments, I have a feeling she’ll be a class they can afford to lose, so to speak. VM always hurt without their cleric, but like, think how fucked they would have been without their Designated Transportation Druid or That Guy With the Lockpicks? So maybe she could just be something rad like a Barbarian??? :P She’s such a sweetheart I think I’ll enjoy her regardless, though c: 

Laura - the rumour I heard was that she was thinking about playing a cleric, but that was from a single comment on one of my posts and I’m not sure where that rumour comes from? Though I think she’d make a fantastic magic-user c:  I like your familiar idea, in which case maybe she’d be a good warlock, especially because then she could have one of those rad upgraded familiars warlocks get c: but then again, I get the feeling they all wanna try something as different as possible. I’d just love for her to be a charisma-caster powerhouse. Sorcerer would be pretty neat, but I’d punch a giraffe for Laura Bard-ley

Liam - I honestly have no fuckin clue whatsoever :’D maybe he’ll go full paladin, just to see what that’s like? I could see him being a magic-user (though not a cleric because he did that in the last oneshot and I have Another Choice for who I’d like to be the cleric) because whenever he uses magic he’s very, very smart about it. Also he should be married to Sam’s character. So maybe he’d end up being a lil bookworm wizard? FUCK THAT’D BE CUTE. LIAM FOR BOOKWORM ELF WIZARD.

Marisha - A STRONGK WOMAN \o/ I don’t even care which kind I just want her to fuckin ELBOW DROP ON ANOTHER BEHOLDER \o/ Momma Currie wants her to be a barbarian. I think she might roll monk because nobody’s rolled monk yet? And I know she wants to play someone who’s not so much the moral core of the party, so she might be a pretty good choice for The Rogue (cuz you always need one). Or she could try one of the specialty Unearthed Arcana Fighter builds and just have a real cool backstory to go with it. Honestly, I really don’t care what she picks specifically I just want her to be Strongk.

Taliesin -  That’s who I want to play the cleric. Some people would love to see him go warlock, but I think he won’t because that’s what we all expect him to do … :P I’ve listened to a lot of interviews with him because I think he’s basically a genius, and he once said that a character should embody a question you want answered, and if you have an answer ready, you’re not asking a good question. I think he stumbled upon a pretty good question in Percy’s back-and-forthing with the gods and I’d love to see him explore that more. Like if anybody at the table were to pick a super interesting god and have a very interesting relationship with them, it’d be Tal. In that same vein, paladin would also work. Either a cleric or a paladin would be quite a departure from Percy’s damage-dealing role, and there were a handful of fights where he was just useless, which seemed to frustrate him quite a bit. Clerics are never useless :P Also, as a side note, I would like somebody at the table to play as a different gender from their own, and I think Tal could pull that off best. I mean Liam did great as Jayne so now I want somebody to COMMIT TO THAT SHIT. :D I think Marisha’d play a good dude character but I stand by my earlier verdict. She must be Strongk Woman.

Sam - I honestly have a hard time imagining him as Not a Bard, which is hilarious because he’s the only one who spent a long time as a character other than his first. Sam seems to pick classes based on a funny character concept and then eventually digs deep into their psyche and finds the horrible sad traumas motivating the laughter, so…I could honestly see him being a barbarian too, tbh :P but I think he might miss the versatility of spellcasting? I’d say he’d make a fun druid if I didn’t want them to go druidless so people appreciate Keyleth even more retroactively they could play a very different kind of game. Honestly, I’m more excited to see Sam’s concept than his class, because with his insane creativity the class itself is almost a moot point :P

So the party I built through this little exercise is bloodhunter, temporary barbarian, bard, wizard, cleric, monk/rogue (that’s a RAD multiclass btw), and ???Sam??. A little more fragile than before maybe, but about even on the sneakies and the spells c:

Other things I would like:

- meet a bb quarter-elf de Rolo

- Zahra and Kash’s kid is Around being Hot and Grumpy

- Gay

- I want somebody to play a warlock of the archfey pact but when I think about them each individually I have no idea which one I’d pick :’D Probably Laura or Sam. Either would be rad.

I like guessing, but I won’t really care whether I’m right or wrong on any of these because no matter what they pick I’m sure I’ll love the shit outta them :’D I love these guys so musch…../sob

Thoughts and analysis about S4

This is going to be episode by episode and very long so here we go.

Episode 1: Code of Honor The Blade of Marmora is affecting Keith obviously in more ways than one, we know that Keith felt he was not meant to be the leader of Voltron and the BoM helps him ghost away from his responsibility. This causes something he feels is right, no longer being the Black Paladin, and something he fears, being pushed away by his team. From his vlog, we know he isolates himself on purpose so he won’t get hurt, instead it has the least desired effect this time. Yes, the team supports eventually his decision on going with the BoM, however, they were harsh on him in the beginning and this isn’t what Keith needs.

Despite all the things with Keith, Shiro (Kuron) gaining his trust back with the Black Lion says something, they still have their bond and the lion knew how much he needed to help the team. If we’re still on the clone theories, it’s really interesting Kuron was able to bond with the lion. But, this still throws away all the work in S3, even if Keith didn’t want it. 

Episode 2: Reunion (AKA MY FAV EPISODE) Oooohh boy!!! I’ve been waiting so long for this!! Prepare for super analysis and detail because the Holts are my life. 

So, the episode starts Katie staring out the classroom window, until something in the school lesson catches her interest. She gets excited and shares her own knowledge on it, it shows how much passion she has for science. Only for her to be shot down by pre-teen assholes. This affects her to the point of tears, showing she wasn’t confident about her brains, even giving up studying for a brief period. 

Let’s take a break to say, because of this, I suspect Katie didn’t have many friends. It’s middle school, a really tough time for any teen and she’s struggling. The only thing that keeps her sane is her older brother, he shares his wisdom and supports his little sister. At a point later in the episode she even says something along the lines of: “I can’t believe I have to go through middle school without you.” She’s later praised and known for her brains. Nerd power!!

Also, it turns out Matt gave Katie the nickname Pidge and used it as her alias. I have my own headcanon on how she got it but that’s a post for another time.

Okay, back to the present and Pidge is out searching for him. That Pidge Jedi aesthetic? My aesthetic. Bargaining Pidge? My fav. Now, she’s got a lead and helps freedom fighters she encounters. Okay, here comes the part where I super analyze Pidge. 

Pidge witnessing someone die right before her eyes, when she knew she had the chance to save them. She’s crying, frustrated and feels helpless. We know how much Pidge thinks and rambles when she’s nervous. Imagine her now. “I could have done more.” “I should have been faster.” and etc. She knows the casualties the Galra cause, but seeing it up close and alone is different. 

Back to the past! Honestly, this small moment of the siblings sitting on the roof, Matt teaching her codes and frequencies, and them going past their curfew is adorable.

Now here’s where I get emotional. With Matt’s code, Pidge arrives on a destroyed planet, there resides a massive burial and cemetery honored rebels who fought in the cause. Everything about this scene screams heartbreaking: the music, scenery of the 120,000+ graves, the flashbacks, everything. I knew from the spoilers that Matt was alive and well, but the feeling of over a year’s work of finding your family, only to reach their grave, is devastating. This hit me hard and it’s the only episode I recall crying at.

Thankfully, encrypted in his grave, there are hidden coordinates. (HUGE FUCKING SIGH OF RELIEF AFTER THAT HEARTBREAK)

after small scuffle, her bayard knocks off his mask and cue a very happy and sweet reunion. Matt loves his sister and thinks she’s amazing, literally all that matters. Also a bounty hunter was looking for them since the Unilu meeting. 

“Stand back, Matt.” “Stand back, Pidge.” SHOW THAT GUY WHAT THE HOLTS ARE MADE OF!!! The animation in this fight scene is awesome like I’m in awe. The siblings using their brains to weaken their opponent and BOTH KNOCK HIM OUT!!! LITERALLY EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR!! Matt is a tall bamf and I love him.

Some pictures of the Holt family in front of the Garrison is shown (also pre-Kerberos Shiro and Keith in the background, I’m assuming he knew Keith at some point). Matt no longer needs his glasses and passes them on to Pidge, I’m sure they’re mostly for sentimental purposes and she wears them for that. Pidge can knock down Matt like omg. And it ends with a shot of her putting on the glasses and looking up to the sky. 

Okay, honestly. This is one of my favorite episodes, it’s just great. I have no words for it. I love Pidge, I love Matt. I LOVE THEM

Episode 3: Black Site Haggar/Honerva looking at her true self, using magic to hide her her true appearance because she can’t bear to look at herself. 

We get to see how Matt really is and I love this memelord. Fanon Matt is Canon Matt and it’s amazing. Honestly, he’s relatable when first seeing Allura. Like that Ouran vision is amazing AND THEN THAT SHOUNEN SHOT I’M DYING. JEALOUS LANCE!!! 

Okay, here’s where I’m a little disappointed. The reunion with Shiro is a little stale and stiff, yes there’s a hug but there’s nothing about Shiro saving Matt when they were prisoners. Him calling him ‘Sir’ is a little strange, I’m sure he was higher up than him, and him being a Paladin is intimidating, but in a reunion none of that really matters. 

zarkon’s going like darth vader with the suit to keep him alive. also CARRY ON MY WAYWORD SON

CUE MONTAGE OF PIDGE BEING ADORABLE AND SHOWING HER BROTHER THE CASTLE

Matt: “Hey, this is pretty goo- d.” HE MAKES FUCKING PUNS I LOVE HIM

I love Pidge’s messy little room, she kept her trash versions of the paladins and even some of the trash bugs. AND MATT JUST LOVES HIS SISTER SO MUCH AND IS VERY PROUD AND I’M SURE THEIR DAD IS TOO

Color coded or you’re an animal is the holts’ mindset. Matt calling Hunk and genius and HE’S SO SMUG ABOUT IT!! HE KNOWS HOW SMART HE IS!! 

Hunk: “This one time, we went to another reality. It was pretty lame.” Matt: “Wait, you what? You were in another reality?” Pidge: “No big deal.” hovers away Matt: “My little sister.”

HE!! LOVES!! HER!!!

i’ll never get over how coran and allura talk to animals and like milkshakes. adorable!! Lance playing video games to blow off steam and jealousy. Honestly.. same. I’m so happy they got their video game set up. Lance knowing how to milk a cow. Iconic. HE CHUGS MILK LIKE DAMN SON AND DRINKS MILK BY ITSELF??

TECH TRIO!! I LOVE THEM!! THEY ARE ALL SO SMART AND I’M VERY PROUD!!

CO PILOT MATT!! CO PILOT MATT!!! I LOVE HIM!!

I’m still trying to figure out why Narti was a spy and was given Kova to begin with? What where her intentions? Haggar just wanted to keep an eye on Lotor, she knew something was up with him, and Narti was the only option. Like the death seemed to be for shock value, they could have gotten rid of the cat. Idk at this point. Ezor and Zethrid obviously begin doubting him at this point, wanting to save their own skins, while Axca is trying her best to say by his side. But we see how that plays out later. 

Episode 4: The Voltron Show! Now, I’m a fan of this episode because: Coran focus and it gives us a moment to breathe. But, it has it’s iffy moments, AKA the ‘Humorous Hunk’ joke. I hated it so much, like poor Hunk I felt so bad for him. Of course, we know something was manipulating Coran but that’s just mean and humiliating. The Yuri on Ice, Jurassic Park and Star Wars references are great, plus aerial dancer Lance. 

And the iconic: Coran: “Allura, you’ll be playing Keith.” Allura: “HEAAHGHG”

Shiro: “I will save the princess, even if it means taking on the Galra Empire with my bare.. hand.” i’m dyingg 

literally everyone else is reading the script deadpan as possible and LANCE IS THE OVERLY EXCITED THEATER KID I LOVE IT.

“holds bayard dashingly- oH.”

hip talking coran is so bad i love it.

brief cameos of the mermaids and varkon.

i don’t have much to say on this episode.

Episode 5: Begin the Blitz Wow, we get to see Keith again! 

Axca is still trying so hard not to doubt Lotor by telling herself he’ll protect them. 

Hunk is accepting of Nyma and Rolo while Pidge is still unsure, that’s unexpected, but she can’t stay mad at a cute robot. I love how she loves robots it’s adorable.

ALLURA SPEECH!! I LOVE HER!! 

PIDGE AND HUNK FIGHTING TOGETHER!! HUNK BEING A BAMF AND KILLING A MAN BY ELBOWING HIM IN THE FACE AFTER HE HURTS PIDGE!!

that really hot galra commander like mmm

I love the rebels so much. But like a third of them gets fucking wiped out... jfc

FInALLY MORE KEITH!! 

God Lotor looks so defeated when visiting Daibazaal. I feel bad after his plan fails and his generals turn on him. They suspect after his failure he’ll just turn on them suddenly, but they don’t know about Narti being a spying and it’s frustrating. He didn’t even explain it to them, so both sides are at fault here. He wasn’t even expecting their betrayal. Like yikes.

THE WHOLE COALITION FIGHTING!! REBEL FIGHTER SHAY!!

god this scene with lotor’s bONES LIKE OMG I’M DYING LIKE  DAMN SON I LOVE IT

Episode 6: A New Defender This episode is wild.. like wow

Lotor flies barely above the surface of a star and lives?? He’s desperate to complete his plans, whatever they are. 

Haggar is awesome this episode like she’s crazy and i love it 

This episode was tense and had my heart racing, I knew they would be okay but this situation was insane. The fact that the camera is on Lance and goes for Allura first when she’s being electrocuted, then asks if she’s okay. 

ANOTHER ALLURANCE MOMENT AND I’M LIVING!! Lance cares so much for Allura and supports her in every way he can. Allura’s magic is back and it’s beautiful!! I love Princess Allura!!

Allura: “Thank you, Lance.” Lance: “That was all you.”

MY HEART

GOD KEITH’S ALMOST SACRIFICE FUCKED ME UP SO BAD

ONLY MATT AND THE REBELS WOULD HAVE SEEN HIS DEATH

FUCKING CHRIST HE DIDN’T EVEN TELL TEAM VOLTRON

AFTER LEAVING TO GO WITH THE B:ADES THERE’S THIS SAD FACE HE MAKES AND THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR HIM OK

HE ALREADY HAS ABANDONMENT ISSUES AND NOW HE’S PUSHING THEM AWAY EVEN MORE, TO THE POINT WHERE HE’S FULLY WILLING TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF. HE’S NOT SUICIDAL BUT BELIEVES THEY’D BE FINE WITHOUT HIM LIKE 

I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE THANKFUL FOR LOTOR

After rewatching it, I like this season a lot more. It’s pretty good! Now I’m off to read meta posts about Keith.
