THIS

Hey, Voltron fandom :

Any Ship You Want Canon… Is Canon

The ending was actually rather vague

Hear me out

All we see is the BIG PICTURE of what the Paladins did

Pidge and the Holts work to make a Voltron Force thing. But without Voltron (ofc). Like, a galactic defender space program

Hunk and his team of awesome side characters become gourmet chefs to the Galactic Coalition

Keith turns the BOM into a relief organization

Shiro gets married to Curtis

Lance helps his family out on a farm (and Kaltenecker has cow babies)

Now

Other than Shiro and Hunk, who have confirmed (or pretty obvious) partners, Curtis and Shay

The other three Paladins don’t actually have a confirmation of relationship

It only shows us what happens about 3 to 4 years after the Voltron Lions leave Altea

That makes the oldest Paladin (Keith) only, at most, 26

Lance and Hunk would be 23

Pidge would be 21 (yay she can drink now!)

Even in Earth terms (plus three years), neither are over the age of 30

So!

They have their ENTIRE life ahead of them

Nothing is to say that Lance and Pidge don’t end up together

Or Pidge and Keith

Or Keith and Lance

Or maybe

Keith and Acxa

Or Lance and Romelle

Or Pidge and Veronica

Or Keith and Veronica

LITERALLY NOT ONE SINGLE PAIRING IS A CONFIRMED ENDGAME EXCEPT FOR HUNAY AND SHIRO X CURTIS (AND MAYBE LOTURA)

(I say Lotura because they’re in the cosmic cloud at the very end)

So, yes, allurance was the dominant relationship in s8

But ANYTHING is canon after the show ends

It’s all up to interpretation

Do Lance, the Cuban boy who adopted a cow from the mall and yee-haw, southerner descendant half galra Keith live happily ever after?

Maybe

Do Pidge and Lance raise Chip as their own and grow plants?

Maybe

Does Veronica get that date with Keith?

Or does Axca spend her days with the one with the flippity hair?

Nobody knows

Because nothing was set in stone

My point is

Stop fighting over ships

When you can headcanon anything to be canon and it will be

You can’t be proven otherwise

There’s nothing to prove you wrong

Only the limit of your imagination can stop you

why or why don't you think the diamonds deserve to be shattered for everything they've done

I don’t think they should be shattered, and here are my reasons:

1. This is a kids show. I would rather have shows that teach younger generations that conflict doesn’t always have to be resulted in one of the sides “winning”, and that we can always find a way to compromise even with people we don’t agree with. ESPECIALLY when the other option is solving said conflicts with violence.

Yes, you could argue that in reality sometimes there are no other measures, and you’d be right. But this is a kids show. We should always teach kids that violence is not the answer because maybe, in some distant, bright future, it will be the case. We have to give the next generations the hope that this could be reality.

(also, like, let’s not make a kid character murder people? seems obvious to me but some people want to see Steven spills some blood real badly, its kind of concerning)

2. The Diamonds are a part of the system just like the gems they rule upon. Removing them from the equation will create more chaos than actual progress. If a society wants to move forward, it needs to include all of its members- not leave some of them behind. 

I explained before why removing the Diamonds from gem society without proper guidance would just let the next “diamonds” raise. lets face it, realistically, the CG and Steven cannot teach what they’ve learn for over 5000 years on Earth to the entirety of gem kind and expect it to work on every single one of them. What is more likely to happen is that some other high ranking gem will take the place as the Absolute Ruler of gem kind, and HW gems would accept it because their minds are all but programmed to follow this type of social structure. 

Change has to come from within, and the Diamonds can become huge positive factors just as much as they are currently negative factors.

3. I don’t think that The Diamonds changing their ways and learning to improve their views and treatment of their gems deletes or ignores the impact of their past crimes. These could never be forgiven, or fixed. But the act of moving forward toward a better future is more important to me than dwelling on past actions that cannot be changed.

4. I think The Diamonds’ cruelty is based in ignorance rather than malice- therefore, they could be taught to be better. They have no intentions of hurting their subjects for the sake of some twisted enjoyment- they merely don’t know any other way and do genuinely believe they are doing what’s best for their kind. 

5. I quite like them.
