S8 Thoughts

I’ve been reading a lot of posts about a lot of unhappy people who watched the season, and didn’t like how certain things went. (I’m trying really hard not to spoil things, but it is tumblr and things are everywhere) 

But one thing someone pointed out, that at Shiro’s wedding, behind Shiro and Curtis, when Curtis yanks Shiro closer, we see what I think is Keith standing behind Shiro with his arms crossed.  Everyone assumes he’s all pissed because Shiro’s getting married to someone other than him. He’s all bitter because Shiro, the one who he fell and almost died for is marrying someone from the Atlas crew.  Honestly, in all honesty, I feel like Keith wouldn’t be bitter, he saw Shiro as a brotherly figure, not a lover. His arms might be crossed, but my thought, he’s stuck in some stiff suit or clothes he wouldn’t ever wear, and wouldn’t be comfortable in.  All in all, I think Keith is just hella uncomfortable being there, because he’s prolly in a suit that he wont ever wear again. Also, weddings, no matter who’s it is, are uncomfortable as all hell- wearing clothes you probably wont ever look at again that are stiff and uncomfortable, (This might also be my dislike of huge gatherings showing through)  ANYWAY, I know a lot of shippers are all up in arms about it because it should be Keef or even it should be Adam because reasons x, y and z. It would have been nice if Shiro had the chance to have some closure with Adam (and not just his plaque) and be able to move on with a clear head. I mean, he was still able to move on, which I’m so proud of him for. This man has been through hell, and he has the scars to prove it. How long has he been in space? How long was he with the Galra again? Where they took his friggin arm? Being isolated as a prisoner, and being used for gladiatorial fights will change a man. (Not that I know what it’s like being in a gladiator situation, but I imagine with how long he was there and with all they did to him it was going to be a life changing experience.)

The fact that Shiro managed to find love in someone like Curtis, and be able to get married, and move on with his life, instead of dwelling on the bad, and feeling sorry for himself, I cant hide my pride for him. He gave himself the chance to find love again, and go to live a probably quieter life, away from the conflict that had torn at him for years. Dreams change, wants change, people change. 

I love this show, I love the characters, the music, the giant robot(s), and all it did. If I didn’t give this show a watch, I wouldn’t have drawn a lot of what I did in October, or before, and I would probably be a much unhappier person.

I know I’ve said this in posts in the past, but I love what the whole Voltron team did to bring this together. To JDS, LM, and all of the other producers, thank you for making such a great show with some of my favorite animation I’ve seen in awhile. 

word vomit over.

(just kidding i just realized that with this show over, it’ll be harder to see the other cast/crew members at conventions in my area T^T)

Sorry its sideways, but knowing Shiro and Curtis are happy together is enough for me.

Thank you VLD cast, crew, and exec. producers. The ride was incredible with lots of highs and lows, but what an incredible one. I will miss you VLD.

Shiro got a happy ending, why can't anyone let it be? Am I still an emotional wreck from this season? Yes. Am I mad about it? Not really mad, just... raw. I don't understand why having Shiro wind up with a man, and be happy is so upsetting. Is it Keith? No, but thats ok. Is it Adam? No, but that's ok too. Why should it matter, as long as Shiro, a character that has been to hell and back, is happy. Shiro and Curtis are husbands, with an on screen kiss.

Shiro found his happily ever after.

(Again, I'm very tired, I'm still raw, but god dammit if someone is gonna try to take his ending away.)

Please be kind, to the crew, to the va's, to each other and to other vld fans.

ATTENTION SHIRO X ANYONE STANS

I know you’re hurt but I’m hoping you’ll still support Shiro and be better than the k/l extremists that would have the cast and crew burned for not giving a very particular thing in a wild ride that gripped us to the very end.

We still have what we love even if it’s only in our art and fics.

REBLOG IF YOU SUPPORT SHIRO AND CURTIS AND HOPE THEY HAVE A HAPPY HONEYMOON

Last few drawings I've done so far for this drawtober.

My first ten drawtober entries for this year! They just might be all Voltron related but who cares! Exploring the personalities of the lions has been a lot of fun.

I thought he kinda got the shafted with the black lion. *doesn’t want to start some kind of war* but I loved how much he worked for that lion, how much he connected, and he will never not be the black paladin. 

I already said that last part in my other post but meh. He is precious.

So... first post...

After season 7 of voltron legendary defender killed me i decided to start using this thing. So have a Shiro and lil black lion i drew like...5 days ago. *he will never not be the black paladin in my eyes*

I love this man so much that will never change.

I'm The type of neurodivergent gay where all of my hyper fixations are just people in outerspace who my delusions tell me are gay.

The demons… they won..

Im on season 2 of my Voltron rewatch and honestly forgot that Keith was revealed half Galra this early

anyways

Shiro is obviously a Nightwing cause like what else would he be

Keith is a Skywing/Nightwing so he can be red and breathe fire but can also be emo (he also has hivewing in him cause in this AU the Galra are hivewings)

Lance is seawing/icewing because he’s blue but also his lion spits ice so I figured if he were a dragon he would spit ice too

Hunk is a mudwing but more specifically I think he’s also a bigwings, this would make him fireproof in the WoF universe and Hunks whole thing in his lion is armor

Pidge is a rainwing (no I didn’t forget her glasses shhhh) because the green but I also think it connects her to her lions ability to cloak and her whole character arc being about disguising herself

I haven’t drawn Allura or Coran yet but I have them planned out already as well as many other parts of this AU so feel free to ask questions :]

I’ve officially hit rock bottom gamers.. Im watching Voltron again 😔

I could totally imagine Shiro's and Adam's argument as the song Defying Gravity from Wicked. Of course the argument would be nicer than what actually happened but it would be cool for an AU. Maybe one where Adam survived.

I can't help but imagine that If any of the paladins (excluding Shiro) got lost then their first thought would be "what would Shiro do in this situation"

Can I please get some art of The Percabeth Reunion™ but then with Adashi please and thank you.
