#lost paladins

[rangergirl3]

Hiiii, I wanted to ask if you are going to continue the Lost Paladins series, cause I really like it 🫶🏼

Hi there! I'm so happy you're enjoying my Lost Paladins series! :-)

I don't have any plans to continue it at this time, but I wouldn't rule it out completely. <3 I do have various other story ideas simmering in the back of my mind that aren't intended to be continuations of the Lost Paladins series, but they might morph, given time.

But I'm so happy you enjoy it! :D Thank you for telling me! <3

Sorry it took a bit to reply - there's a lot of projects I'm doing currently, and that always eats into the energy/time I can give to writing, and as frustrating as it is to admit, a lot of the stuff that's in my day to day life now takes up a lot of both. Not bad stuff, just...well, the continuous day to day stuff.

I had a lot more time to devote to writing when I started the Lost Paladins series back in...oh wow, it was 2016! :D And I absolutely loved doing it, and I want to keep writing for fun - it's just not quite as front and center as it once was, but maybe, one day, it will be once again. <3

That no space was truly private; anything of mine could be forfeited at someone else's whim.' " /end ID]

He's trying his best to take care of his feral children paladins.

Honestly charlie deserves more credit because if I had to take care of twelve, much less three of his paladins I would've thrown myself out a window.

it should not have taken me three watches and several years to realize that Voltron is just very gay Power Rangers ��

Okay but did the first romance scene have to be that sweet.

You guys know how the BoS radio signal in Cambridge starts with “to any unit in transmission range” right?

I just realized that they weren’t just yelling into the void hoping for the best, they were trying to contact PALADIN BRANDIS AND RECON SQUAD ARTEMIS in a last ditch effort :(

The proud princess, the lost knight and the flowers in the cave

In s1 ep 8, the party plays DND and after they finish their campaign, Dustin, Lucas and Will respectively asked what happened to the lost knight, the proud princess and those wierd flowers in the cave.

Now, I do believe that the order they said this and who said what is also symbolic, but first I want to start with this general symbolism:

We only see one knight in the whole show, and he was also crowned as the leader, the heart of the group, who is only mike wheeler in the painting with the whole party fighting the thessalhydra/tiamat.

So, in those words, mike is the knight.

It doesn't take much to realize that the proud princess is El, given how she's the only one who not only turned out proud of her powers and who she is as a whole by the end of s4, but also the only one involved with flowers.

The weird flowers in the cave:

In s4 ep1, El mentions how she missed the spring flowers in Hawkins, but she finds it pretty in Lenora too

In s4 ep2, mike, after reading the letter El sent him, collects a bouguet of purple, yellow and pink flowers to gift to El once he'd arrive in Lenora.

(tagged from mike)

In s4 ep9, the flowers "in the cave" are rotting, as the upside down is taking over and bleeding into Hawkins, therefore destroying what they know as their reality.

So, what about them?

The flowers in the begging of s4 are bloomed, untouched by any upside down infection, but yet had to be cut in order to be given as a gift. This mugh be me over exaggerating, but I do think that cutting the flowers (in this case having someone else to do it, since that wasn't Mike's handwriting in the card to begin with, aka he most likely told Karen to buy flowers from Hawkins/ just a hc) might be him pretending that everything is great in their relationship.

BUT

The flowers literally rot in the end of s4, and as we see, El is in front of the others while mike is standing next to will

Therefore, the proud princess has finally accepted herself and therefore is proud of that.

The lost knight is still lost, unable to figure out his unrequired love for the cleric.

And the flowers are rotting.

And the cave?

I'd like to believe that the cave is the upside down itself. This is the blind leading the blind but I'd love to think how the "cave" works as a metaphor for either the gates or the upside down to complete this sense of closeness and fear of the unknown.

Who said what, and why they said it:

This is most likely stupid, but I think that Lucas saying about the lost princess emphasizes the foreshadowing of him trying to get mike back with el in s3 and that Dustin saying the knight also respectively foreshadows him and Mike joining hellfire and coming closer by time.

To add insult to injury, I think that will said the flowers in the cave to foreshadow the love triangle between will, mike and el and the whole situation with the flowers in s4.

Now reminder that this was just a silly scene as a conclusion to s1 which can also mean nothing, but I think the duffers give a laugh about those subtle hints about this scene.
