[legendary-defender-of-fandoms]

Does it say anything that my 2-year-old niece, who has never seen Voltron a day in her life & has no idea what Klance is, will take my Keith & Lance Funko Pops or action figures & have them kiss?

"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? ;)

Disabled Characters Showdown Round 3

Propaganda/Who is this:

Shiro- From Voltron. He’s generally cool, and probably one of our favorite characters from what we watched of the show.

Geordi La Forge- From Star Trek: The Next Generation. He’s talented at engineering, and is a close friend of Data.

Check out the other polls in this round here.

[rorimoon9597]

I think that I'll post a series of one-shots that are based off of my future AU of Voltron, with characters we love and new ones. The one-shots are going to mostly be based around the next Paladins of Voltron, three of whom are family and are related to the group from the show.

I'll probably end up posting about each of the characters that will be focused on, as well as a mood board of each of them.

I'm currently working on the first one-shot, which is going to be a life-or-death kind of situation. I hope that you guys enjoy it once I post it.

[evi-anxiety]

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

Little Moments CanonxOC Imagines

What are my F/Os favourite and least favourite memories with their lovers? Let's find out.

Spoilers for their stories below, please don't continue if you hate spoilers and plan to read my fanfiction!

Orochimaru

Orochimaru's favourite memory with Kaede is the moment he heard her pledge her loyalty to him, while the memories around that moment were soured by the spies in their wake and the horrific injuries she suffered through, hearing her state that she wanted to remain in Otogakure was a boost to his ego he didn't realize he desired.

His least favourite memory is the moment Kaede collapsed in front of him as she coughed up blood. That was the start of her physical decline and the moment the clock began to tick on her demise. If he didn't act soon, she'd die, and his wavering sanity would follow.

Kaede

Kaede's favourite memory with Orochimaru is the moment she broke down from intense stress and he ordered her to see him in his chambers. She assumed he'd be 'relieving her stress' so she followed, but to her surprise, he laid her head across his chest and simply told her to sleep. No words were exchanged, and no sentiments were shared, but they weren't needed, as Kaede's fears drifted as she fell asleep.

Her worst memory is the moment she tried to kill him while his arms were cursed. She fought tooth and nail to take his life, but even at full power, she couldn't defeat the injured Sannin. It destroyed her mentally, but all these years later, she can only bring herself to regret even trying in the first place.

Lotor

Lotor's favourite memory with Ziera was the moment she confessed her rekindled love for him the night before they headed into the Quintessence field. Having loved and lost her before, he believed his time with her had come to pass, but to get a second chance... he'd be a fool not to take it.

His least favourite memory is the moment he had to shove her into an escape pod so she would survive his father's wrath, something he wasn't sure would happen. He searched Olkarion for her, given it was the neighbouring planet, but found no traces of her or the pod... He believed she died, and came to accept that the Tylyrion species had been wiped out by the Tyrant he called 'Father.'

Ziera

Ziera's favourite memory with Lotor is the moment she awoke in the med bay after being impaled by a sword to save his life. She can never forget the way he worried over her, and finally admitted his true feelings for her before giving her the most loving kiss she'd ever experienced. She had a sense that he wasn't in love with her before, but after that day, she knew she had thawed his heart, and warmed it with her adoration.

Her least favourite memory is the moment she and Lotor were left in the Quintessence Field to die. How she feared for her life in the unknown months she and her lover were trapped, feeling her sanity wane along with the supplies they had on board. She still feels discomfort in the Quintessence Field to this day, but has long overcome her fears.

Mereoleona

Mereoleona's favourite memory with Lucia is the spar they had the day they got engaged. Her only pre-requisite for a partner was if they could take her in mortal combat and not die. Well, the two fought up until neither could stand any more, and neither could be deemed the victor. Mereoleona knew then, she'd picked her perfect mate.

Her least favourite memory happens to be the day she intended to confess her feelings to the Ice Queen, but upon hearing that Lucia may not feel the same, she was furious and heartbroken. Though it turns out, she had nothing to fear, Lucia loved her too, but believed the Lioness to be straight, while she was not. Such a foolish woman, Mereoleona would prove her love if she had to!

Lucia

Lucia's favourite memory with Mereoleona was the night she succeeded in the Yultim Volcano Trail test that the Lioness had set up for her. They sat in the hot springs that night, discussing her progress, and for the first time, Lucia admitted to enjoying her company. She had no idea how she went from merely tolerating the boisterous redhead to outright loving her, but she's glad she took that journey.

Her least favourite memory was when she and Mereoleona helped Julius defeat Wizard King Conrad ten years before the anime took place, and while fighting at the Lioness' side, she could only watch as her father died, and her mother sacrificed herself to save her eldest daughter's life. It tore her apart, and for the first time since she'd met Mereoleona, she cried.

Piers

Piers' favourite memory with Thorn was the day he got her a brand new guitar as a good-luck present for the championship, only for her to blurt her feelings to him by tackling him in a sweet kiss. He believed she was just impulsively showing her gratitude, but to his surprise, she spelt it out for him and told him outright that she loved him. He was so confused but so, so happy.

His least favourite memory was the first time he heard about her parents and why she had been homeless for so long. He understood how it felt to have absent parents, and in that moment, he knew he'd stand by her and help her through anything.

Ivy Thornbury

Thorn's favourite memory with Piers is when she saw Lily for the first time after years and was bested in battle and ridiculed for her weakness. She spilt her sorrow to Piers that night, and to cheer her up, he reluctantly recorded himself singing "A Humble Song's chorus, a song he knew she enjoyed a lot. It made her smile, and she saved it on her phone, which he is mortified about.

Her least favourite memory with him was when she argued with him about taking on Eternatus instead of Lily. He was worried she could die from such a dangerous battle, but she refused to listen, stating she would gladly lose her life if it meant her sister would be alright, something she knew he'd do too if Marnie was in this situation. Its a painful memory that luckily ended with a clear sky and a legendary poison dragon in her PC.

Aaravos

Aaravos' favourite memory with Nymera was the moment he held her in his arms for the first time, after creating a human-sized vessel to travel in. He couldn't exactly confess his love for her when in titan form, could he?

His least favourite memory was watching her fall from the storm spire alongside Viren. He still remembers her silent pleas for help, and how his hand phased through her's when he reached out to grab it. The horror he saw wash over her as she vanished behind the clouds below still haunts his nightmares.

Nymera

Nymera's favourite memory with Aaravos was also the moment he confessed his feelings for her. Having lived alone her whole life, ridiculed for being half human and half elf, she wondered if she'd ever find a place to call home. Well, now she had, in his heart, where she truly belonged.

Her least favourite memory is also the moment she fell from the spire. She saw him reach out to her with desperation in his eyes, but when she went to grab his hand, it phased through. She watched as his expression turned to shock, then absolute anguish as everything went black. Knowing what she knows know about his daughter Leola, she couldn't begin to imagine how helpless he felt as he watched someone he cared for drifting away from him a second time.

Vax'ildan

Vax's favourite memory with Ryah is the moment he realized he'd fallen in love with her. They'd entered Syngorn while trapped in the Fey Realm to find one of the Vestiges of Divergence. However, the moment his father opened his stupid face, Ryah snapped and went on to give him a verbal beatdown the likes of which he'd never seen. Ohhhh his heart fluttered so sweetly after that.

His least favourite memory is the moment she was shot by Percy, under the control of her patron, he tried desperately to call out to her, to get her to come back, but it was futile. Percy, following Ryah's last wishes, shot her dead centre in the chest, and he could do nothing but hold her as she bled out in his arms. Thankfully, the universe had other plans, but his heart shattered that day...

Kadorya

Ryah's favourite memory with Vax was the moment she revealed her true form to him, and in an act of kindness and a lack of a filter, he blurted out that she looked beautiful. She believed his words to be a lie, or a simple comfort in a vulnerable moment, but later she learned that his words were true. He saw the real her that day, the fear in her eyes, the vulnerability and trust she showed him in that moment, and she was gorgeous.

Her least favourite memory was shortly after their dance in the woods, with Scanlan as their orchestra. Vax pulled her close as he dipped her, both of them laughing sweetly. But when they straightened up, they felt a pull, leaning in to lock lips. At the last moment, she froze and pushed him away, and she will never forget the way his eyes widened, how she could practically hear his heartbreak. She loved him, but at that moment, she couldn't bear to be with him, knowing she would eventually die.

There we are, they're all my F/O's and their love interests favourite and least favourite memories, hopefully you like this one, I enjoyed writing it. A reminder that a lot of these moments have not been written yet, so they may be subject to change, however right now, I think this is a pretty good indicator of how they view their relationships!

Meet the next generation of Voltron

Except I made silly edits

these are so dumb just have them

[beifong-brainrot]

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!!!

[xjulixred45x]

Hello again, I hope you are doing well and I have a oldie request since it's apart of your list. May I humbly request for Yandere Prince Lotor with engineer human reader hc ( Like hypothetically that Lotor harvesting quintense from alteans never happened and he is working along side earth and the princess as Emperor and that is how he met reader ) apologies for being so hyperspecific the later seasons made me salty

Me too mate, me too😤

Thanks for the Request!

Yandere! Lotor x Engineer! Human! Reader

Genre: Headcanons

Reader: female

Warnings: yandere behaviors, slight stalking tendencies, isolation, overprotection, slight manipulation, Unhealty mindset, overbearing behavior, shady things in general.

• Lotor always had a complicated relationship with love (unintentional pun), having Zarkon of all beings for a father and a mother presumably dead his entire life, he never really had the opportunity to witness a truly functional relationship.

• Obviously as he grew and matured he realized certain things about couples, including how his father referred to his late mother. The relationships were complex, some were for benefit, others simply for desire, and others... simply for affection.

• And they were the ones that confused Lotor the most, even his own father seemed to have fallen for this feeling, describing his relationship with Honerva as his only weakness.

• Having grown up where he grew up, Lotor was not going to allow “weaknesses”, not after all the bad things that happened to him every time he allowed himself to be vulnerable, every time he allowed himself to be weak, this was the best, for everyone.

• However, things change. Especially when Voltron appeared on the map.

• Overall, this caused Lotor to have to rethink many of his values and morals, he believed that he had improved and become a better person.

• With the help of Princess Allura, Lotor was able to create a better system for the Galra, even generating diplomatic ties with other civilizations. Among them, the earth.

• That's where everything went down. It was there where he met her.

• reader was a somewhat veteran engineer from Harrison, she had studied in the same year as Shiro and Adam. While they were more focused on being pilots, Reader had her heart set on the mechanics and engineering behind the ships.

• Thanks to this, Reader had quickly become a technological prodigy and a highly sought-after student in the barracks, whether to make improvements to the ships, fix problems with the consoles, or even make personalized gadgets at an acceptable price.

• And now, as an adult, she was the head of Harrison's engineering department, trying to help cultivate bright young minds.

• Lotor (and Allura) ended up turning to her precisely because they were researching Honerva's notes, so knowing that the reader was good at that type of science, they thought she could be of help.

• To be honest, if they told the reader in advance she probably forgot and was working on something when they arrived, with their first impression of her being that of a reader with a greased face and probably something exploding.

• Yeah, at first Lotor wasn't so sure about her help until Allura convinced him with a lot of effort. And yet at first the interactions were awkward as Lotor did not believe that this disorganized and forgetful person could be one of the smartest people around.

• However, the surprising thing was that the reader remained her normal cheerful self, seemed not to be affected in the least by the sarcastic remarks or harsh criticism, she simply improved for the next time and came, in fact, much better than before and with more strength.

• Thanks to this, Lotor began to view her with a little more respect, being more willing to listen to her and generally being more open.

• The more involved they were in researching the notes, the more the reader's intellect shone, whether doing the calculations, diagrams and values of the readings that the research showed, which caused the feeling of respect to increase.

• It is very likely that both reader and Lotor have Made a All-nighter and have not gone to sleep until Allura forced them to go to bed (with red eyes and messy hair).

• Eventually, when they began to assemble prototypes for the ship that would take Lotor and Allura to the Quintescence field, the conversations stopped being so professional and took a more personal turn.

• The reader probably does not fully know the context in which Lotor lived, perhaps it was mentioned a couple of times while they were working about having a bad childhood, but nothing more.

• However, reader shows sympathy and tries to liven up the situation, (especially if she has a good relationship with her family), after all, family is what makes you happy, not who raised you! you can always be better!

• It is probably in those moments, in a moment of pure innocence, that Lotor realizes that something is starting to go… wrong.

• Lotor knew that he not only appreciated the reader, he admired her, he loved her, but it was not the type of love that others considered normative, or healthy in general.

• Indeed, reader felt like a kind of pleasant weakness, a safe place, but at the same time something delicate and fragile.

• It didn't help the girl's human nature, or that she had a job as dangerous as fixing the ships even though she knew the risks, even with all the warnings he gave her to be more careful, she got hurt often. She was so stubborn...

• There was also her overly trusting attitude towards others, he had seen it (even if the reader didn't realize it), how she was too friendly for his liking with other people, especially the former black paladin, the level of closeness they had made Lotor want to tear off his skin...

• Obviously Lotor kept this as secret as possible from the reader, he knew that these feelings could be seen as out of place and he didn't want to scare her, however, he had to make sure he kept her close without exposing himself.

• This is how a new phase in their relationship began.

• Lotor is someone who is charismatic and, above all, someone who is tactical and intelligent, so it is easy for him to find some questionable aspect of the people close to the reader so that she stops trusting them.

• In this way, Lotor isolated Reader little by little without her realizing it, before knowing it, the only people Reader interacted with were Pidge, Hunk and Allura.

• At the same time, Lotor would begin to be more affective, more attentive in other ways (whether to satisfy his own addiction to the company of the reader or so that she would not realize how alone she was), at first glance it was something overwhelming, but now that I really didn't have much else to do, reader was starting to fall for it...

• It would be very difficult for anyone to realize what is wrong with these two's relationship, whether because Lotor makes the reader cut ties with those who question him or simply because they are under the same web of lies as the reader. They just don't see anything strange with the relationship because it is purely inner manipulation.

• The only ones who seem to see things more or less clearly are Shiro and Allura. But they can't do much either, Allura is convinced that Lotor changed for the better and she doesn't want to ruin it. While Shiro can't even talk to the reader alone.

• I think that even without the Yandere, it is very likely that the reader will fall in love with Lotor in this phase. If she confesses it to him he would be over the moon! And probably already making plans for the reader to go live in the Galra colony.

• Whether the reader does it out of love or manipulation, it is inevitable.

• I would say that Lotor's Yandere side shines brighter when he and the reader are already married. Jealousy and possessiveness are triggered by A THOUSEND TIMES and now Lotor has a VERY “valid” reason for wanting to isolate the reader even more (the racism of the Garla towards other species) with the context that it is for her “safety.”

• If the reader realizes that she made a mistake it would have been too late, she is already very far from the earth, they do not give her access to the ships and even if she had access, she does not even know where to go.

• Aside from that, Lotor may or may not mention that staying with him is both in the best interest of the reader and her family. He won't say direct threats, but you can see that he is talking about something bad.

• So either the reader puts up with everything or faces the consequences with her family and friends :)

• Honestly, it's very likely that the reader will develop Stockholm syndrome, if she didn't already have it from all the time Lotor was messing with her head, so it's best not to resist.

• In a voluntary route, Lotor can tone down his tendencies a bit, even being a very good husband, trying to ensure that the reader continues to have his projects to distract her, letting her be friends with his generals, etc.

• Of course, it would never be completely safe for those around you, if someone gets too affectionate for your liking, hands off.

• But at least he has the decency to not do that kind of thing in front of the reader.

• If you are a genuine volunteer, Lotor may even let you have video calls with your family! It's not much, but it's the most a reader can have with such an overprotective Yandere.

• In general, Lotor does not understand relationships, which leads him to have an unhealthy relationship, have an unhealthy mindset, and while he treats his partner like a deity, he also isolates them and drags them into the same decadent pit as him. .

• I guess the good thing is that she loves him. Or she loved him. Either one is enough for him.
