This Is The Only Day You Can RT This

This is the only day you can RT this

Hi!

I know it's an old post but I casually encountered your Lance critical posts and I wanted to say that I couldn't agree more.

It's been like, six years since the last time I watched Voltron and I decided to rewatch it just for funsies and nostalgia sake. Man, Lance was not as funny and charming as I remember him to be! It took me be surprise to be honest.

I guess it was because when I watched Voltron for the first time I was also a teenager but now, that I'm closer in age to Shiro... yeah. He's so unnecessarily mean to Keith when he did nothing to him, that made me feel awful for Keith. :(

Anyway, I really like and agree with your points of view!

Yeah, even now, I'm not the biggest fan of Lance. I've said as much in previous posts, but I am still treating him fairly in my rewrite, as his character really only took a turn for the worst season three onwards, and I can do things to prevent that downward spiral.

I was actually quite glad to so many people share my dislike of Lance! It was hard to find posts against Lance, so to see little to no backlash was actually really surprising!

Thanks for the ask/response!

Yeah, I get that, I really do. I'm well aware that it's not truly Lance that I dislike, it's the writers for making his character go down hill. It would be far easier to like him if I knew why he did everything.

If I knew why he was constantly antagonising Keith, if I knew why he was always trying to hit on Allura, if I knew why he was so posessive over Allura.

I can make as many assumptions as I want, but it doesn't matter if there isn't any canonical evidence pointing that way. For example, I can fully accept that he was antagonistic towards Keith at first, due to how he was constantly compared to him during the Garrison. However, that antagonism doesn't make sense after Season 2, especially when he accussed Keith of using Shiro's death to become Black Paladin.

Maybe if he was called out for this, (by the show, not the fans), I wouldn't be so pressed. But, as it stands, it isn't highlighted at all. There is no indication that Lance recognised his mistakes and grew for them.

Again, I am treating him fairly in my rewrite, making sure he has a proper character arc and making him likable for even the antis or people who don't like Lance. It isn't fair to condemn a character for decisions of the writers.

Ugh, I didn't mean to ramble, but yeah. Those are my feelings about him, basically. I can understand some of the stuff he does, but I can't understand others, and that is why I do not like him, (or rather, I don't like how he was written).

Do you uh, not like AO3?

Um. I'm not sure what this is aimed at? Which post did you see? This doesn't exactly give me room to answer. Is it the Voltron stuff or the MHA stuff?

Either way, I love ao3. It's one of the best sites I've ever used, which might be sad, but I don't visit many sites anyway. The tag system is one of the best, the formatting - I don't have many, if any, complaints about the site.

If I were to point out any issue, it wouldn't be with ao3. My issues aren't the fault of anyone. People will write what they want to write. On the same level, people will complain what they want to complain about.

Just because I post about things I don't like, doesn't mean that I hate everything. There are plenty of fics on ao3 that I adore and reread, and I love discovering new fics, whether they're complete, work-in-progresses, or haven't been updated since 2012. Ao3 is my main publishing site. I don't hate it by any margin.

When I complain about stuff, it isn't that I don't want people to write that, it's more of 'I want to see more fics like this'. It has nothing to do with hate.

Seriously, I'm not sure how to respond to this - I'm not sure what this ask is responding to. It's like, I don't like a lot of Netflix shows, but I still like Netflix. I don't like a lot of YouTubers, but I still love YouTube.

Just because I don't like some aspects, that are not the fault of the site, it doesn't mean I hate the overall product.

I mean, I literally have a post bragging about being asleep while ao3 is down, and waking up to see all these panicked posts. Because I miss ao3 going down, therefore I don't get that panic.

Yeah that makes sense, sorry about the offhand ask. I saw "i miss ao3 being down" and "get wrecked losers" and blacked out without checking other context because I thought it was making fun of people who use AO3 generally.

So sorry for the weirdness, have a great day (or night!).

Nah, no problem. I was just confused mainly.

Have a great day/night too!
