If Lotor was meant to be redeemed would we see more from Romelle then? I can’t even imagine how she would have reacted to his return after what we saw of them interacting in s6 / what happened to her brother.

Oh ho ho. Thank you for this question.

You've unlocked Pandora's Box... 🍿 Strap in, everyone.

We have a very telling conversation at the beginning of Launch Date:

Romelle: You know, back on the colony, Luca and I didn’t always get along. But despite that, I always respected Luca. She had an inner strength that many did not and a desire to be a part of something greater than herself.

Allura: If she was so desperate for something to believe in, it may have made her susceptible to being manipulated.

One of Keith's biggest mistakes was bringing Romelle to Voltron. To Lotor.

She's on the wrong side of the war. She is being manipulated. She is a set up. She is a spy.

Luka died by Honerva's mind power in S8E1.

Luka was shouting at Romelle about how she betrayed them, how Honerva is going to save them, and this would've potentially alerted the entirety of the Atlas with her shouting carelessly about Honerva's plan.

In season 8, episode 1.

Honerva really said, "No thanks. Too early into the season for you to ruin it now."

She was also very insistent that Allura goes on this date with Lance despite noticing her hesitance, goes shopping with her to build her trust with her, and then speaks to Luka ALONE, immediately asks if she's alright, and then abruptly asks where the Altean Colony is?

"It's not like that!" and she's right.

She's working with Honerva to gain more insider knowledge on Voltron.

Honerva can access the Alteans through their minds via the dark entities, but it doesn't mean she can see through their eyes; she can only preach to them, control their thoughts, and kill them at will.

Romelle has been set up from day dot to betray the paladins by being Honerva's spy cam from the inside (allegedly). Keith and Krolia fell for it. Keith trusts her story immediately.

Why wouldn't you? She's the first Altean they've seen.

We also found it insanely telling of their characters that Lance is visually suspect, while Keith immediately trusts her and wants to find Lotor right now.

Ahem.

She's also suggested to be a traitor -- not once, but twice by the Alteans on board the Atlas, including Tavo, who's she claims she's grown up with. He says it to her during the episode Day 47.

Another question that was raised after one of our many rewatches of the episode Clear Day: How would Honerva know that Lance & Allura were dating during Clear Day?

How would Honerva possibly know to use Lance as a convincing point for Allura to absorb the dark entity? At this point in the story, Honerva wouldn't know that at all... unless she had a spy on board the Atlas.

Isn't it strange how on Clear Day when this all happens to Allura, she is absolutely nowhere to be found? She's not on the ground playing the games. She's not aboard the Atlas -- at least that we see as the viewer.

This is a set up.

Romelle also achieved a goal when she helped to set up Allurance for Honerva's greater plans.

It's a distraction.

Launch date sets up several subplots related to Lotor, the Altean Colony, the Love Triangle™, Romelle, and so, so much more. Romelle's is one of them.

I'm really excited to finish writing some pieces of the meta and dive more into this topic. It is fascinating.

So, that is all we will say about this for now.

By all means, you can read more about Romelle's arc in this meta and this meta by @leakinghate and Team Purple Lion, which also reinforces Romelle's behaviours and gives us a better understanding of her story.

To answer your question, OP:

When Lotor is revived by Allura against the team's wishes? When Keith finally puts his trust in Lotor? When the team puts their trust in Lotor? When they truly learn about the Altean Colonies on the Moon?

It ruins everything for Romelle.

Does Honerva care? Not particularly.

She's a fearsome foe. She accounted for it. She's ready.

Season 8 is not what we think it was set up to be...

...But then it ended up on the cutting room floor along with Lotor.

Thank you for the question.

[bonkers-4-hatter]

@castbracelet240 asked: Lotor idea: fem reader and Lotor are fighting (not each other) and the reader gets hurt. A little angst but reader survives.

Hello! Ohhhh yes, some angst! I love me some angst and I really love writing it because damn! Anyways, I hope you enjoy it! <3

If you enjoyed this, consider buying me a coffee. <3

"They've entered the deck!"

Chaos was everywhere, weapons going off, screams and grunts of pain as blood was spilling on the floor of the castle. A group of space bandits infultrated Alura's castle and everyone was fighting to defend it. You saw the rest of the Voltron team fighting. You noticed the bandits were being careful not to injure them and the princess as they were needed alive.

You weren't so lucky. Your face was bruised and bloody and your clothing was ripped from cuts from their daggers. Lotor was holding his own though, he only had a few cuts. Your eyes strayed to long making sure he was okay as you let your guard down.

A piercing scream ripped through your throat as you felt a sharp hot pain in your side as you crumpled to the ground. One of the bandits stood above you with a smirk as he ripped the dagger out of your side.

You were stabbed and judging from how long the dagger actually was, it was deep.

Your scream alerted the team and Lotor.

"(Y/N)!" Lotor's scream pierced through the chaos. You looked over to him, eyes growing heavy as you felt your blood...oh God, your blood...it was seeping out of your wound. Bringing your hand up, you saw it caked with blood. The last thing you saw was Lotor's panicked face, fear in his eyes as everything around you went black.

---

A groan emitted as you opened your eyes, the bright lights of the med bay hurting as you closed them again. A deep chuckle and a hand stroking your head made you open them again as Lotor was sitting next to your bed.

His hand continued to stroke your head. "There's those beautiful eyes." His voice was soft as you smiled softly at how gentle he was being. He was usually gentle when you both were alone, so seeing as he was doing this out in the open he must've been really worried.

I scoff lightly at his words, but wince. "Easy (Y/N), the stab wound was deep, but you'll be okay. The doctor said you'll still be in pain for a few weeks while you heal."

"(Y/N)!" The rest of the team came rushing in only to have Lotor glare at them making them calm down and stop before they got to your bed. "Keep it down! (Y/N) just woke up and I swear if any of you make her wince in pain from any touching or hugging, I'll throw you into the vortex of space myself."

The team stopped dead in their tracks at his words. You couldn't help but let out a laugh making everyone stop and stare at you. Wincing lightly, you flashed everyone a smile.

"Lotor, I'm okay. They were just worried...like you were." Lotor's cheeks flush red, but he just scoffs and looks away. The team left saying they'll visit later, leaving Lotor and yourself alone once more.

"...I was more than worrid (Y/N)..." He gently grabbed your hand, his thumbs brushing over the knuckles. "When I saw you go down, my heart stopped, I never knew fear until that moment (Y/N)...I thought I lost you."

Your eyes widen as Lotor's eyes welled with tears. Your arms circled around him pulling him towards you on the medical bay's bed hugging him closely to yourself as he clung to you as if he was afraid you'd dissapear if he let go.

You weren't sure how much time went by, but you didn't mine. You just held him until he pulled away still having a hold on your hand. "You do realize I won't be letting you out of my sight for the unseeable future." You laughed and gave his hand a light squeeze.

"I wouldn't have it any other way Lotor."

[wolf-feathers12]

I would die for him to feel a smidge of happiness

My heart is so overflowing with love for Lotor right now.... He is the kindest man in the universe... And i would do anything to make him happy

[xochitai]

sketch req from @seihdacalling: Lotor in a swimsuit. Now, he seems like a wetsuit kind of guy, which is basically what he already wears, SO I went the headcanon route to make it more interesting. In my AUs, coldblooded galra commonly swim in the nude, so swimwear is very decorative for them. It is usually sheer and/or revealing in order to show off scale patterns :)

[starkindart]

More art for pride month! Featuring @art--acherontia 's OC, Xasthur. I know you suggested Lotor but I couldn't resist adding Xas as well. Aaaand then I couldn't resist also adding my boys skdkdks

Versions with the two pairs separately under the cut!

The cuties!!! I had fun designing outfits that were somewhere between an Earth style and their canon/work (?) outfits. I need everyone to know that Xas' shirt says "[] Boys, [] Girls, [✔️] Lotor"

Also from looking at refs to draw Lotor, I now understand Lotor stans. He's really freaking cute 😭

Day #294920 of me not being able to decide what mobility aids would suit Daniel best.

Whilst I was drawing this I left a note for myself that said "Lance and Shiro have matching custom-made bi pride paladin armour tank tops" and I felt like that needed to be shared. It was Lance's idea btw.

[creantzy]

And the most unasked for crossover reward goes to

Galran Fyodor and Altean Nikolai because what else am I supposed to do with my life

Yes you are seeing Keith Kogane and Nikolai Gogol in the same room You’re not the one losing your mind I am

Anyway my brain loves doing that shit where you scrape together even the most surface level tiniest similarities between two things that are as unrelated as something can be so,, take this and suffer with me

[alikunsblog]

Pidge: Twilight Sparkle was the main character because she represented the element of friendship—

Lotor, tied up: PLEASE, I JUST WANT TO SEE MY FAMILY AGAIN!

Pidge: I'M NOT DONE!

Pidge: And Rainbow Dash was the sporty girl—
