I Genuinely Appreciate All The Attention This Post Has Gotten! I Have Been A Part Of The Justice4Lance

I genuinely appreciate all the attention this post has gotten! I have been a part of the Justice4Lance battalion since the writers started treating him like chopped liver. Which episode was that? I don't know. I'll get back to you guys on that as I rewatch season 3 tonight.

Thank you again!

I don't know if this is a common misconception in the fanbase, as I haven't interacted with it in quite some time, but Lance is much smarter than you think. He may not be the smartest person in the room, but he does know a thing or two.

He uses context clues and common sense. He has to simplify scientific jargon, yeah, but once he gets it, he gets it. Lance is forced to be a C student when he has the potential to be a A- student.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Lance, staring at Keith training: god. He thinks he’s hot shit defeating all those bots. Look at him, swinging his sword like he thinks he’s a samurai or something! And these flips are not necessary. I bet his ego is growing every time he beats a stupid drone and we are all just LETTING. IT. HAPPEN. Someone needs to kick his ass and show him he’s not all that!

Meanwhile, in Keith’s head: I wonder if Taco Bell still sells the Crunchwrap supreme. I hope we haven’t been away long enough that the Crunchwrap supreme is discontinued.

I appreciate some of you liking my insults towards the security at the Galaxy Garrison. I try to be funny every so often while trying to make a point, and it seems that my metaphors/similes work. That gives me a bit of an ego boost.

No, I still don't know why Allura assumed that Zarkon was tracking her.

Did she think the guy imprinted on her? Such a weird thing to think about. If that was the case, there would have been so many close calls with Zarkon. Also what good would Allura be to Zarkon if he kept her alive? She didn't do anything but pilot the castle. I can only assume that if she was captured 10,000 years ago, she would be used as a source for quintessence, then thrown out like a rag doll.

I don't understand Allura's line of thinking, ESPECIALLY when it came to learning that Keith was half Galra. I understand that Zarkon ruined your life, destroyed your home, and made you a nomad. I still don't think getting mad at someone you trusted a lion to, because he figured out a part of his racial identity, is the right move. It's giving "I've been your friend for a while, and I trust you, and you just came out to me and now I despise you".

Keith is already going through a lot, which Shiro is to blame for like 10% of it. (Shiro, I adore you, BUT WHY WOULD YOU PUT SO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE DAMN KID LIKE THAT OH MY GOD.) With the added knowledge that someone he thought he could befriend HATING him for something he can't control, it's no wonder he's a loner. Poor kid has trust issues.

There will be another post about her when Lotor comes around. Because... my god. Lotor... You... you straight up did a lot of damage.

The absolute biggest issue I have with Voltron Legendary Defender weirdly enough isn't how the writing became a huge pile of confusing storylines and decisions.

It's the time when the show takes place. Please, let me explain, as I have pulled my hair out about this.

Confirmed by the writers, vld takes place in the year 2314. Okay. Fine. Makes sense. There's technology present in the show that we do not have in 2016/2017. Also Pidge stated that it took the Garrison ships a few months to get to Kerberos. Kerberos being one of Pluto's moons. This also implies that the space commissioners or companies that are involved in space travel and space adjacent activities declared Pluto a planet once again.

Shiro, our space dad and dilf in training, is 25 years old at the start of the series. He was born February 29, which is a date that is only available on a leap year.

Let's do some simple math, don't worry, I'll be your calculator. 2314 - 25 = 2289.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Nonbinary individuals, and possible other genders that I do not know about, 2289 is not a leap year. Neither is 2290. Would you all like to know when the next leap year is in this range of years? 2292.

Since I am a stickler for accuracy in regards to certain topics for reasons I can only blame my autism and ADHD on, the show taking place in the year 2314 bothers me. Please understand that this is simply a me problem. If Shiro was not my favorite character, or if he didn't share a birthday with my first adorable dog, I would not care about this blatant error.

If it helps to those who have the same issue as I do, my fix-it fic takes place 2317. It's not that much of a jump, but honestly it feels better knowing that the math lines up.

Thank you for taking your time to read this! Hope you all have a lovely day.
