As you wish.

LANCE'S ERASURE FROM SEASON 7

I've made a few observations while I wrote Voltron Is a Love Story and Keith's Soft Spot that made me go hmm... Lance is weirdly absent from this scene and/or switched position with another character...

For example, the first thing I found was this scene in Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure where Lance straight up just disappears from the scene despite being in the lineup of cadets in the previous shot:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 10:10]

ummmm where the hell is Lance??? Where are the last two cadets in the lineup ???? Where did he go… Lance is just straight up erased from this scene, which makes me think he was supposed to have a bigger role in the conflict between James and Keith. Otherwise, why was he erased if he was just meant to react like Hunk does??

And then I found THIS inconsistency, that places Lance on the Garrison side of the table rather than the Voltron side, that I also posted a while ago on tumblr:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 03:13 ; 03:35]

Here we see the Garrison Officers all on one side with the MFEs behind them, and on the other side we have Team Voltron, just like the last time they had a meeting. But what I find strange is that... Lance is sitting on the side of the Garrison and Veronica is sitting on the side of Team Voltron... I found this very odd, because wouldn't it make more sense to have Lance and Veronica switch places?? Why is Lance sitting next to Sam on the Garrison side instead of on the Team Voltron side??

I started growing very suspicious, because, given what I found of edits in Knights of Light that frequently placed Lance away from Keith, this felt very much like they put him on the Garrison side to avoid placing him next to Keith... usually Voltron is very purposeful with the placement of characters. Why would they go so far to avoid placing Lance next to Keith?? unless it had a deeper meaning ???

And it's even more suspicious, because the next time they're in a meeting in the same episode, Lance is on Team Voltron's side as usual, but this time he's placed next to Allura...

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 10:57]

Actually... several characters look like they're downright copy pasted from the first frame... such as the MFE's and Romelle and Iverson and General Sanda and Hunk.... So their positions around the table are pretty much set, are meant to be consistent to the point that the animators can just copy paste the characters every time they have a meeting, so it's even more strange that Lance would deviate from this in the previous scene. That the animators would go through that extra effort to draw him sitting somewhere else.

and look where Veronica is sitting:

[Season 7, Episode 10: Heart of the Lion, 11:28]

Right next to Sam, where Lance sat in the last meeting scene.

We know that Season 7 was edited, because of this podcast, where the showrunners JDS and LM talk about having to amend a few things to Shiro and Adam's story to create plausible deniability. They had to change their apartment to the Garrison's common lounge as well as some of their dialogue to be more general and platonic. But we still see remnants of the original scene, for example here:

[Season 7, Episode 1: A Little Adventure, 16:52]

When Shiro enters the common lounge area, the camera zooms in on all of his trophies and medals, as well as a picture of him and Adam, all because it relates to his and Adam's dialogue. But why would Shiro's personal belongings, such as his achievements and personal pictures, be in the common lounge of his workplace, instead of his private home?? if it was his office, I'd understand (even though Shiro's rank isn't high enough to constitute having his own office)... but a common area?? Well, because this common area was originally supposed to be the kitchen of his and Adam's shared apartment, just as JDS and LM said in the podcast. This is also why we don't see any other characters around the "common area" during their conversation, because it was supposed to be in the privacy of their own home.

This example is an instance where the original story kinda seeps through the attempts at covering it up, due to orders from "higher up", and it tells us that there may be more attempts throughout the season. Well, as I said, I already found two instances, the ones above with Lance. These are two instances now that Lance is removed from Keith's proximity in season 7 alone, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. So, I started wondering if there were other instances of this, other inconsistencies that either remove Lance from the scene or place him away from Keith.

Well...

I said in one of my previous posts that I headcanon Lotor as being disgustingly straight and I'd like to clarify

In my head Lotor is so straight it physically ills you

He's so straight he doesn't even know what the word 'gay' means

So straight he can't even fathom gay people

He has no idea two of his generals are lesbians. He just thinks they're really good friends.

And Team Voltron? He automatically assumes they're all straight too, and when he sees the Red Paladin and Blue Paladin sucking face in the hallway he just assumes the Red Paladin is a woman cause of that long hair.

And then the next time he sees Keith, Lotor's like "well hello miss", and gets a face full of fist

So straight that when Ezor tries to explain gay people to him while he's covering his face with an ice pack, he looks at her with a dumb expression

Thanks for coming to my crack post

Increasingly curious about the linguistic situation of Emmaly. We don't know how big the country is so I don't know if it's weird that everyone speaks the same dialect, but more important: why do they sing in English sometimes.

Emmaly was colonised for a while for there to be so much European influence on all their aesthetics and have spaghetti be their national dish, which you'd think would have left a fuckton of less recent loanwords in Emmalian but nope. They just speak central Thai but to the left. I mean, not even everyone in Thailand does that so that is weird.

They speak Emmalian in all social situations but sing in English at the royal ball which indicates English is an aristocrat thing. Cool whatever, that's true to life in much of the world right now. But they also sang in English at the protest which indicates that the impoverished protestors understand all those lyrics.

So like is Emmaly English-Emmalian bilingual from top to bottom? Why? What incentive do lower class people have to learn English? They didn't even go to phonics classes to speak emmalian with the same accent as the aristocracy, but they learn a whole other extremely foreign language? What??

Unless it's the other way round. Here's my theory:

English (or an English creole let's be real) became the lingua franca in this formerly heavily heavily colonised by Europeans country that's like 200 years old max, but has governmental shakeups all the time (so there's internal displacement which breaks native language transmission.)

The aristocracy started speaking a dialect of Central Thai. People living in what would become Emmaly probably already spoke a Tai language, but after years of wars and loanwords it was the Tai branch equivalent of Guernsey French, which the Royalty felt mega insecure about. So instead of bothering with self love or language revitalisation they pinched the speech of the never conquered country next door, and changed some verb endings or something.

Even though the kingdoms are constantly vying for power internally, they have to present Emmaly as a united front to the outside world before one of their neighbours decides annexation is easier than diplomacy for getting a cut of those Emmalian exports.

One of the easiest ways to be like we are a real country actually is linguistic unity. So the crown imposes a language in the lower classes, again. This unity campaign would've only started like 1½ generations ago because Emmaly truly can't have been around that long, but the hold the crown has on the people is extreme so I think it's feasible.

So in the present day they sprinkle in English at royal Balls like "we know this foreign (!!1!) language because we're cultured and not because our national identity basically had to be created wholesale after kingdoms whose rulers hate each other formed a Voltron for sovereignty 🫶"

And the povvos sing in English because life hasn't really changed for them under rulers that are ethically related and not foreign colonisers. So paradoxically English is closer to being *their* language (since those that brought it are long gone and Johnny average doesn't have a cultural connection to them) and Emmalian is the language of an oppressor even if it is the language they actually use every day.

#or maybe I'm thinking about it too hard idk #Khanin may not give a fuck about emmalian history lessons but i do damn it. how the hell does this country work lmao #the next prince #i will always come up with a way to write a show that involves way more of the actors listening to tapes by dialect coaches #is this fanfiction

"I Love You." Canon x Reader Prompt

This is how my F/Os tell you they love you!

Orochimaru

He doesn't say it.

As we know, Orochimaru has had a rough life. He lost his parents, his friends, his student and his home. With all that weighing on his shoulders, I doubt he's uttered the word since his childhood, if at all.

Therefore when he's with you, he doesn't say it, he doesn't need to say it. He uses his actions to display how content he is in your company, from tea in the morning, to standing by your side in difficult moments.

To this day neither of you have uttered the phrase "I love you," and will laugh at anyone who tells you it's weird.

Lotor

Oh, this man will wax his love in poetry if it makes you swoon.

He's the type to say it when he's feeling particularly loved, whether by choice or just blurting it out without thinking. You do a lot for him when he's neck-deep in work, and I can imagine you walking into his office with a coffee, and as you pass it to him he just... tells you without thinking.

"Darling, I thank the stars every day you're by my side. I love you, I hope you know that."

How random this profession is, depends on your reaction, how would you respond to this cute emperor's soft words?

Mereoleona

Mereoleona doesn't say the L-word often, but she does say it, especially when she thinks she needs to. I.E. You almost died during battle and need a reminder of why you has to keep fighting and getting stronger. "If you die here, who will watch my back in battle? I don't give my heart to just anyone, you know..."

Or if you're upset over something very serious. In that case she'll press her knuckles to your forehead, and give you a soft pep talk, before replacing her knuckles with a kiss that will tell you everything you need to hear. You're her pride, her pack, her beloved and her partner in combat.

She will always be there for you.

Piers

While he is a shy bean, the one time he can truly let himself be heard is when he's singing. Expect song after song during concerts depicting his feelings for you behind the mask of the music's lyrics.

While he may never use your name is in works, you know full well it's you he's singing for and he loves you, so, so much.

In private though, he's far more discreet, muttering it in your hair when he thinks you're asleep, or writing it in little notes as he makes you a lunch for your training in the Wild Area. He's not going to wax poetry or say it loudly in front of tonnes of people, but he'll definitely let you know he's thinking of you.

How can he not? You're his muse!

Leona

Doesn't say it first, definitely doesn't say it often.

He's another 'actions speak louder' kind of guy, with his focus being on physical touch and affection. "You're my pillow, my herbivore, my queen." Are about as close as he gets to saying it aloud in a normal conversation.

But he might send you a random text during the day when he wakes up from a nap to find you've gone to a lecture to take notes for him. "So you chose a class over cuddling with me, huh? You're lucky I love you... Hurry back, I need my pillow."

These little texts make you smile every time you get one.

Aaravos

He knows you love his voice, and will make sure you hear as often as you can about how he truly feels. After all, love only holds you together for an instant, so he wishes to ensure in that instant you know just how important you are to him.

Reading a book? "That looks interesting, do you mind if I join you, love?"

Taking a walk? "There's my starlight, how about we watch the stars together, hm?"

One of the sweetest things you've accidentally witnessed is him sitting beside a memorial you both set up for Leola, and telling her every little thing he loves about you, and how he wished she could've met you.

Expect him to be over protective after you both confess your feelings, he's lost people he's loved before, and he's not willing to watch that happen again.

Vax'ildan

Oh my God, he's so corny it's cute.

He'll start off subtly, complimenting you, flirting with you, and giving you nicknames that others would roll their eyes at usually, but make your heart swell. "Love, Peach, Sweet Pea, Darling, Dove." Anything and everything he can find that will make you blush, he'll use at least once.

However, when it comes to actually sharing his feelings, he'll stall for quite some time, fearing your response. But don't worry, once he shares his love for you, there's nothing stopping him from saying it again, and again, and again.

And he will, he'll use every cheesy line he can find to tell you he loves you, and will shower you in gifts (bought or stolen? It's best not to ask.) All he wants in return, is your heart, which you've happily confessed was his from the start.

Though his brain will shut down for a little bit after you tell him you love him for the first time, give him a kiss to jumpstart it, okay? ;)

Hello hello!

I was wondering if you write for any of the BOM members.

If so can I get angst to fluff, Kolivan and Ulaz (separately) with a medic s/o who is a member of team voltron and they get poisoned?

If not, then Shiro, keith, and lance with the same scenario.

I do believe at this point only God knows when this ask was sent in, I'm like really bad at answering reqs in a timely manner but I think everyones aware of this at this point.

I absolutely LOVED this plot idea and may or may not be writing additional parts for the Paladins as well lol

as always, I hope you enjoy! please feel free to comment/reblog with your thoughts🫶

c/w: poison; medical facility; mentions of fighting; badly written 'fight' scene; Kolivan gets wounded in his and reader is the one wounded in Ulaz's; reader is a medic so if you don't like depictions of medical practices, even briefly, this probably isn't your fic love; Ulaz’s got out of hand and is more of a small one shot than a scenario. my bad.

dividers by @cafekitsune

For as long as you could remember, you had always wanted to be a doctor. Your dream was to help people. You'd joined the Garrison Space Program in hopes of getting the opportunity to further your knowledge in multiple areas of medicine, quickly working your way into position of field medic.

Getting the chance to actually go to space had never been in your plans, you liked having your feet on the ground, where you could be more useful. But signing up for the Garrison didn't leave you with much choice in such matters.

The mission was supposed to be straight forward and to the point, you were hardly even needed. The people in charge wanted you there for the soul purpose of logging the members vitals. Collect scientific data so that the Garrison can use it for their next generation of space suits.

You had only wished it'd been that simple.

It was difficult to tell time in space. Your easiest guesses had been the rotation of meals and when you and the other prisoners were let out to fight in the gladiator pits. You loathed the days you were meant to fight and mostly kept to yourself in order to attend to wounded prisoners best you could.

When Shiro had told you he was busting out, you hadn't even hesitated in packing up any medical scraps you had left and leaving them with your apprentice of sorts. Promising to return to free the rest of the prisoners. Neither of you wanted to leave them there, but getting both of you out would be hard enough.

Getting back to Earth proved far easier than you'd anticipated with the Galran technology. You'd tried to attend to Shiro's arm best you could while he piloted the two of you home.

Home. You honestly thought you'd never see it again.

The landing was, rough. But you'd survived, and then you'd been treated as if you were a threat. Saved by a bunch of cadets before you could be transported back to the Garrison, where you probably wouldn't have seen the light of day for a good while.

Thinking back on those early days, how you'd come to be with the Paladins of Voltron in the Castle of Lions, was almost nostalgic despite not having been so long ago.

Kolivan

Organizing some of your equipment, you tried to busy yourself to not think of the mission they were on. Trying not to get too concerned for the team you'd come to think of as your family. Trying not to think of the one you'd come to love.

Before you could spiral into worst case scenarios, the door to your clinic burst open, Keith holding it open while Antok carried an unconcious Kolivan through the threshold, gently placing him on your table.

You were in full doctor mode before he was down, already gathering up various tools to check his vitals.

"What's the situation?" You asked to no one in particular.

"I think he's been poisoned. He was grazed and just collapsed not long after."

“Are you hurt?” A quick scan told you Keith was relatively unharmed.

“No, it’s just Kolivan.”

Cursing under your breath, you started searching for the wound, making quick work of cleaning it and patching it up after pulling a blood sample from it.

"Get this to Pidge, tell her to run it with every type of poison we have, I need to know what was on that blade." Keith was out of the room before you couldn't even finish.

You prepped every antidote you had or could make, waiting to hear back from Pidge.

Satisfied with your preparation, you turned all your focus and energy to Antok, checking him over for injuries and checking his vitals until he huffed out an “I’m fine.” taking up position by the door and watching you as you began to pace, no more concerns left to keep your mind busy from your bedridden lover.

"Y/n."

Kolivan's voice was hoarse, but very much real. You felt tears spring to your eyes as you turned to look at him.

"I'm okay." He tried to sit up, stopping only due to your hand on his shoulder, pushing him back down on to the bed.

"Okay or not you're going to stay put until I say otherwise."

It wasn't much longer before Keith returned with the type of poison, and you had the antidote administered.

You watched as even Antok seemed to relax, he and Keith both leaving the infirmary to give you some space.

Kolivan watched in silence as you cleaned up your area, carefully stashing away every antidote for every poison you've ever come across or even just read about.

"I'm okay, my love." He says again.

"I know, but you're only okay because I know what I'm doing. You could have died today." You tried to keep the tears threatening to break at bay.

"But I didn't because you know what you're doing. I have nothing to fear if I have you."

You scoffed a laugh, glaring at him over your shoulder.

He just shrugged, holding open his arms for you. Crawling up onto the bed, you snuggled into his chest.

"The mission always comes first." He whispered, a reminder of the life you'd signed up for and willingly walked into the day you'd fallen for him.

"And I'm not saying it shouldn't, just that you don't have to be so reckless with your health."

"I am not reckless."

The pointed glare you shot him made him chuckle, holding you tighter.

"I'll always come back to you safe, my love."

"Safe enough at least." You grumbled, curling tighter around him, causing him to flinch slightly from pressure on his wound, and hold you tighter against him to keep you from pulling away because of it.

Ulaz

You didn’t often find yourself actually in the thick of battle unless the Castle was, but even then there was a level of safety.

Finding yourself actually on a Galra cruiser was not common for you. At least not since you escaped your prison. But you’d sworn you’d be back for the ones you left behind, and after plenty of arguing back and forth, you found yourself tagging along with the paladins to do just that.

Moving about the ship to find your way to the cells felt like second nature, you and Shiro leading the way. The operation was going smoothly up until you passed the hall you wished you could forget.

Ulaz had lived on that hall. Forth door on the left, knock twice, wait, knock twice again. It was ingrained in you, just as the safest path to it was.

You'd tried not to think of Ulaz or your time together on the ship, it was easier not to than to ponder what might've become of him. Had he been made? Would the other Blade's have gotten him out if he had? Was he even still alive?

Time wasn't a commodity you had as you found yourself in the cells, already wrapping up any wounds that needed immediate care and taking note of what could be done once back on the ship.

You'd been far too focused on assisting the wounded, you'd forgotten the dangers of mission and the fact that could easily turn into a battle.

The prisoner you were helping screamed just a moment too late and you felt searing pain as a blade made contact with your arm. You hardly had time to look at your attacker before all you saw was the back of a Galra soldier.

Breathing a weary sigh of relief, you finished your work and urged the prisoner to follow the others, before taking a quick assessment of your wound and the room around you, smiling when Ulaz dropped to his knees beside you.

"What can I do to help?" He asked earnestly, checking your wound himself.

"I think there was poison on the blade, so if I fall unconscious, get Pidge, the Green Paladin, to run a test to figure out what type, I should have the antidote-"

"Get away from them!" Ulaz grunted as he blocked Keith's attack.

"No, stop. He's not hurting me."

The Paladin's all looked at you like you were insane. "He's Galra, Y/n." Hunk stated incredulously. "You're literally bleeding."

"And he dispatched the one that made me bleed. Look I'll explain on the ship, but lets get these prisoners to safety."

Lance moved to pick you up, but Ulaz tightening his grip and standing effortlessly with you stopped him.

"Lead the way, Paladin." He said gruffly.

Somewhere between the holding cells and the lions, you lost consciousness entirely. Comforted by Ulaz’s presence and the knowledge you’d be safe as long as he had you.

“We’re just going to let him stay here? What if he’s leading them right to us?”

“He hasn’t left Y/n’s side for longer than it takes to go to the bathroom, does that really seem like someone who’d compromise them?”

“He’s Galra Keith.”

“And when have the Galra ever not been completely forthcoming with exactly how they feel about us? Face it Lance, even the Galra have emotions and aren’t all bad.”

“But he was on a Galra fleet cruiser, that’s not exactly a green flag.”

“Y/n trusts him, so we at least need to hear them out.”

“Do they always talk this much?” Ulaz whispered.

You chuckled, followed by a coughing fit. Cracking open your eyes and squinting against the bright lights of your infirmary.

“This is mild for them.” Your voice was hoarse from lack of use. “You get used to it though.”

“Y/n!” Lance screeched, rushing to your side, shoving Ulaz away from you to check you over. “Keith, go get the others! Y/n how are you feeling? Do you need anything? What can I do to-”

You reached your hand up, covering his mouth. “Dim the lights, they’re gonna give me a headache. And don’t shove the love of my life away from me again or I swear I’ll leave all your healing to those ten thousand year old pods. Understood?”

His eyes widened in shock, looking between you, to Ulaz, and back again.

“Love of your life?” The muffled question felt just as incredulous as it was probably supposed to sound. Pinning him with what he dubbed the ‘Mom Eyes’ he quickly moved to dim the lights.

Ulaz returned to his spot beside you, gently pulling your hand up to his lips and kissing the back of it gently.

The other Paladins joined you, each taking turns to fill in the blanks of while you were out. Pidge informed you of the type of poison on the blade and how shocked she was that you actually had the antidote. Hunk mentioned the few survivors that have refused any type of healing, holding out for you to check them over. Finally, it was Allura that demanded to know why in the universe you thought bringing a Galra on board was a good idea. You just shrugged and shared a look with Ulaz.

“Because we’re married.”

The room filled with various amounts of confused faces, indignant squawks –yes, squawks– and a barrage of questions sounding over top others. Your voice couldn’t be heard even if you tried to answer any of them.

Ulaz brought the room to silence with a laugh, an honest to goodness full belly laugh unlike one you’d ever imagined getting from him. He looked at you fondly, kissing the back of your hand once more before turning to your team.

He filled them in on how you’d met while you were imprisoned, how you’d come to fall in love, the ceremony of a wedding the two of you had completely alone in his quarters, and finally of how he was instrumental in yours and Shiro’s escape. He told them that neither of you had ever expected to meet again after that. War wasn’t kind on anyone, but especially not on lovers.

When he’d been notified that there was an escape attempt happening at the cells you had been held in, he left his post to go check it out.

“Knowing Y/n, I almost expected their return for the captives. I needed to know they were safe if it was them. I truly mean all of you no harm. I just wanted to make sure my Y/n was safe.”

“What made you break away from the Galra in the first place? It’s cool you’re in love with our Doc, but you’re still Galra, no offence.”

“I was never truly affiliated with the Galra Empire. Much like you, I seek to bring it down. I was working on the inside as a spy when I met Y/n. I am just glad they are mostly safe now. Thank you Paladins, for caring for them while I couldn’t.”

Seeing those designs of the next avatar and her friend as adorable and promising as they are, why do they look like they belong in Voltron TvT?

Spoilers for the leaked potential designs under the cut!

Okay, so I think the characters in of themselves look fine, pretty cute. Though the artstyle is a clear variation from the the artstyles of the previous shows, which, while there were some miniscule changes, stayed relatively consistent.

For example the top lashes are much mor prominent and I think there's a general change in the facial proportions as a whole.

The main thing that upsets me about the leaked designs is the clothing choices for the characters, as I said in my previous post. The Avatarverse has a history of taking inspiration from real world outfits of various cultures, such as Southern Water Tribe parkas, or from other pieces of time appropriate media, such as Bolin's jacket in B4 being inspired by a WW2 comic book character, the Rocketeer.

These two, Jae (right) and our new Avatar, (Pavi) look, well a bit generic sci fi. At first I couldn't place my finger on what threw me off their designs, but I'll do my best to explain.

I tried to make a lil vision board to help me illustrate my points. Below you have the potential designs, with their colour palettes beside them, along with tve more vibrant colours I'd bicked from Tenzin and Aang's reference or promotional art. Bottom left is a sheet of Earth Kingdom background characters, and to the right of that you have designs for more prominent characters of a similar origin. I've also added desings for the air nomad bodysuits and pro bending uniforms which i believe are the closest to the proposed new clothing style.

As you can see the clothes Jae and Pavi are weaeing have more colours overall, but these colour palettes are more muted, which is a cheap trick to make clashing colours fit together more harmoniously. You can see this in a lot of modern futuristic shows, like Voltron, which I mentioned earlier.

It's usually a technique of having a character's palette consisting of more muted tones while having one or two colours that are more vibrant. This is a bit of a step away from Avatar's designs, which had less colour combinations as a whole, but were much more vibrant, with exceptions.

Avatar would usually pick a colour palette based around one colour, usually the one corresponding to their element, and work around it to pick colours that wouldn't clash, but were still eye catching enough.

Even more muted designs had a wealth of detailing and patterning. Which brings me to my next point. Pointless design choices. Let's compare Jae and Asami's designs, which both have some similarities.

They both have a type of shirt, boots and baggier trousers. But for Asamu, the details on her outfit make more sense. She has the logo of her company, a pattern on her chest, clasps to keep her jacket closed, pockets, and a bunch of straps that wind around her boots to either keep the black leg warmers in place, or secure her shoes.

Jae has that more 'futuristic' detailing that boils down to slapping multicoloured bumps onto a character. What are those grey things on his trousers? Pockets maybe, though they don't LOOK like pockets. What is that orange thing on his boot? It's not a locking mechanism like a buckle or button since it doesn't seem connected to anything. Is the orange thing on his belt supposed to be a buckle? Why is there a weird orange thing on his neckline? Im assuming the logo on his chest and shoulderpads is supposed to signify him as an airbender as it looks a bit like an airbender arrow which I don't know how to feel about.

Jae and Pavi's designs notably lack details of buttons, clasps and their clothes just feel like they don't fully make sense along witg being generic. Pavi has a brooch holding her customary spocalyptic wanderer cloak closed, though it is drawn in a way that we don't see where the cloak ends. The brooch may carry some significance, and it may juat be less detailed because its not focused on, but it does also just look. Generic.

There's also the lack of Avatar's staple inspiration from actual cultures, particularly chinese in these outfits. Jae's outfit only keeps the baggy pants and his weird neckbrace thing sorta slides off to the right, which doesn't really make sense. Pavi's clothing is the lesser offender here, but I really can't say I would pinpoint ger as an Avatar character if you didn't tell me she was one.

And I'm far from a cultural expert, so I really could just be talking out of my ass but none of these outfits carry the hallmarks of what I expected from avatar characters.

It's a shaame really because seeing what seems to be the concept art you can find here, I like these designs a lot more

Pavi's clothinv is much more vibrant, her clothing seems more detailed and Jae has a white lotus outfit that makes much more sense. And I like that he has an arrow again. I genuinely hope this ia the version we get, though this looks more like concept art, while the designs I was talking about looked like finished character sheets.

If you like these, designs, more power to ya. I think Pavi is adorable and sweet and she deserves better clothes lol. I hope Jae's outfit is just a uniform he takes off at the beginning of the show or smth. Because it ugly.

fic rec friday 50

hello and welcome to fic rec friday! where, on friday, i rec five of my favourite fics.

you've got to take a chance on something, sometime by spirkylurkey

Lance McClain is the office secretary. Salesman Keith is smitten, but Lance is dating Lotor from Corporate. (An Office AU in which I just TORTURE PINING KEITH)

I LOVE THIS FIC. im not generally huge on office aus, but i LOVE this one. messy gay love triangles, GNC lance, and pining keith being the one who shows UP. god i love them. and keith. just so goddamn badly. he is loyalty personified.

2. Something Borrowed, Something Blue, by @shyfoxes

Keith asks Shiro to help him make Lance a betrothal necklace. The results are less than stellar, but that’s okay. ATLA AU.

atla au!!! proposal fic!!! 2016 fic!!! dorky broganes!!!! this fic is so fucking cute. also this line: "He stepped aside to let Keith in then swiftly kicked him in the behind as revenge." is siblings at the core of them truly

3. Kitten Sneezes by @tomminowrites

Imagine: Keith’s kitten sneezes - The Red paladin wiggles his face desperately, trying to cram the sneeze back down to the depths. Instead, the feeling just crescendos, until… “ha-tchu!” There’s a beat of silence. Then Hunk and Lance are cooing into the mics with an infuriating awwwwwww.

keith having kitten sneezes is so goddamn funny to me. like here is this gruff guy who is awkward but does his best and is also obsessed with knives. and when he sneezes it sounds like a cat. ALSO. lance calls keith kitten in this

4. to tell the truth by @tomminowrites

Other than a few scuffs on his armor, Lance looks unharmed - but he just stares stupidly at the Red paladin’s outstretched hand instead of trying to rise. Keith leans closer. “The fight’s still on, you coming?” Lance looks up suddenly. “Dude you… you have really beautiful eyes, did you know that? I feel like nobody has told you that.” Uhhhhhhh. -- Lance is hit with a truth serum, and his unintended honesty hour will continue until Voltron finds the cure planet-side. Keith, meanwhile, can't shake off the part where Lance is... flirting? With him??

this is the only truth serum fic ive ever really liked bc it's super respectul u know?? doesn't rly feel like it's crossing boundaries. just sweet and funny. lance flirting with keith like its fact is so real

5. Starsong by @tomminowrites

The paladins are crewmates aboard a mercenary space vessel, sent to the outer reaches of the system to investigate the recent disappearance of Empire ships. Keith discovers that the ship's captain, Sendak, has actually been hired to capture a different prize: mermaids. With siren calls that interfere with ship scanners and songs that mimic the distress beacons of friendly crafts, astral mermaids are a threat commonly believed to be myth among most spacefarers. But when lives are at stake, the crew is soon to discover that one among them is not quite as human as he appears to be...

i feel like there's NO way i havent recced this before but onward regardless!!! this fic has the COOLEST premise ever like holy shit. mermaids?? who SWIM in SPACE?? among the STARS??? LIKE???and in an au with an atlantis like crew??? SIGN ME UP

that’s it for today!! i’ll see y’all back next friday for the next fic rec post!!!

#i love that last one so bad its so cool #vld #voltron #lance #lance mcclain #keith #keith kogane #klance #bamf lance #soft klance #broganes #fic rec #fic rec friday #longpost
