The Plan

Hey, yo, been a hot minute eh?

Me? Hyperfixations and work. Not Voltron related.

What IS Voltron related, however, is some ideas I've been having.

I still have all of my research notes from back during the binge sessions, as well as the timeline and canon event logs. Still waiting on the dvd release for seasons 7 and 8, but at this point, I'm just assuming that's not going to happen; which makes me sad because dvd releases would have more goodies to look through (And I like my dvd goodies)

So, what's The Plan?

I haven't gotten anything in a document yet, they're all still disjointed scenes floating around in my head. It's essentially a rewrite. A script, moreover, honouring the showrunner's ultimate decisions in the series and justifying them with character growth and development. With some notable changes. And some expanded explanations of included elements.

Zarkon still dies. The first time. The Robo-version is a corpse puppet.

Allura and Lance still end up together. And it's believable.

Shiro still retires. And gets together with whatshisbucket, but doesn't marry yet.

Keith still comes into his own as a leader.

Lance grows as a Second, and starts taking others, and himself, more seriously.

Pidge is still a gremlin and Hunk is still a cinnamon roll.

Some of the more notable changes I'm planning out are actually some of the more important instances of the series that I feel could have been handled much better than they had been.

Allura's apology, for one, is an actual apology; and is moved to much later in the series to after Shiro's disappearance. It's a quiet moment, with nothing on the line, and most importantly it's something she does on her own.

Keith's decision to leave Voltron to work with the Blades of Marmora is related to how weird Kuron is acting. Keith knows something is up, but he doesn't know what, but he DOES know that he's more likely to find out working with the Blades. The private conversation with Lance is still originally Lance wanting to give up being a Paladin, but becomes Keith revealing his suspicions and asking Lance to watch over everyone and keep them safe while he's gone.

The Zarkon Fight at the end of season one has more thematic appropriateness, added to later when the team is attempting to get back to earth as soon as possible and go one that "vision quest" to unlock ftl travel. The 'fight your predecessor' scenes are going to be added in as the Paladins are being submitted to a final trial before officially achieving full control of their lions.

Adding on to that, the fight at the end with Haggar is not a multiverse-traversing mess, but a "battle in the center of the mind" that ultimately ends with Allura sealing herself and Haggar together until one of them is defeated. This is done with the knowledge that, regardless of who wins, there's not really a way to escape.

Spoiler alert: Allura wins. And escapes. And finds her way to the Paladins somehow. How? Something something Altean Magic, idk.

The final change I wanted to talk about is at the very end of the series. When the Lions reactivate and leave the planet, the Paladins are piloting this time. This is to symbolize that, though the conflict is over, their job is still not done. They've earned their place as the Paladins of Voltron, and in doing so have vowed to defend the universe from any that wish to harm it's inhabitants.

So, it's a lot, right? It's a lot.

I make no promises if or when anything will be written, but after seeing the reblog about how quickly it came and went, it makes a little more sense why things were the way they were and it continues to leave a bad taste in my mouth to know that. So I wanted to share the plans I've been very slowly chipping away at for a while now. I've got enough on my plate between work, my comic, my other fics, and commissions, that Voltron hasn't really been a priority.

I'll try to start writing things down and post snippets now and then, but do bear in mind that this isn't a full fic, or a narrative, or a webcomic. It's a script. Written with the full intention of taking pre-existing clips and rearranging them to match. Complete with scene calls, expression and read notations, and a sound track.

So forgive me for being reluctant to want to dive right in

Day I - ‘We were betrayed’, the thought ran through her mind as the darkly armoured monsters ransacked her home, destroying everything. Katheryne could only pray the Duchess had escaped as her bodyguard clutched her closer. His breath was ragged, and he was barely standing from unseen wounds, but Keith seemed determined not to leave her behind. Soon. As soon as there was an opening, they would make a break for it. They would escape, the Sovereign Princess and her Guard, if it was the last thing they did.

I have been reading far too much fanfiction.

This image, and basically everything I’ve sketched for Inktober this year is borne from copious ammounts of very beautifully written stories of both canon and alternate universe. One of them I’m reading right now is called Anomalous Point, which you can read over on AO3, wherein Keith had been born on Daibazaal and raised lovingly with both of his parents in the blade and assigned as Allura’s bodyguard. There are other Bodyguard:Keith stories out there, but this is the most recent one I’ve read.

I’ve also been fiddling around with the magical and medieval world genres and have been playing around with the paladin armour designs to make some kind of cross between their canon armour and medieval paladin&knight armour while basing the designs off of each paladin’s respective lion....I have quite a few sketches.

But as a result: I’ve got this random medieval voltron story where I am totally screwing with the timeline just for funsies and because I can:

Where Keith has been bodyguard to the Holt dukedom since his young training days to Sovereign Princess Katheryne(Pidge) - no, I don’t care how her full first name is spelled - Young daughter of Duke Samuel. Her father and brother were called by the King, Alfor, to the front lines as well as Keith’s mentor, Sir Shirogane and while they were away, a group of vagabonds from the rivaling Galra Empire attacked her home. As well as the Grand Castle Altea.

This is the first installment. And yes, none of it makes sense, and no, i don’t care to explain it right now, maybe later, but not right now. I’m having too much fun thinking of backstory elements.

Day VIII - “Pidge was unsure if it was tolerance or social niceties that prevented her from leaving this small group. While Hunk had proven himself to be a wonderful addition - with his knowledge of herbs and spices and phenomenal skill with his hands - she was still unsure what to think of Lance.

There. Was. No. END. to this braggart and his gift of speech.

He’d broken into yet another embellished tale of his skill with bow and arrow and blade he’d used to single-handedly rescue a merchant’s carriage from a group of bandits. 

“They stood not half a chance! What, with my unparalleled swordsmanship!” Lance had cried with no small amount of confidence.

Pidge raised a brow. She had witnessed Sir Shirogane and Keith in battle; and had personally observed, and participated in, the latter’s brutal training regimen. She sincerely doubted Lance’s skill was matched to either.
