Allurance - Tumblr Posts

K, so like Voltron has been officially over for almost a year and I just remembered something.

So you know how Zarkon was the villain for most of the show? Well I feel really bad for him bc all he wanted to do was save kids wife. (Exclaimer: I haven’t watched the show since it ended but I have a pretty good memory)

So it starts of with a rip in the dimension or something to a place called the quintessence field which just to happened to be on Zarkon’s home planet. Alfor sends a bunch of scientist there and stuff. Zarkon falls I love with one of those scientists and they get married. Then she starts to get sick. (I’m pretty sure she’s pregnant during this) then she gets really sick like bed ridden or something. So Zarkon who is just wanting to save his child and his wife takes himself and the whole of Voltron and his wife into the quintessence field hoping to save his wife. There’s an accident and they (Zarkon and his wife) go into a coma. During the time they are asleep, zarkon’s home is blown up in hopes to close the dimension rip. Zarkon awakes, his wife had given birth during their coma and he and his wife had lost their memories and romantic feelings for each other. The quintessence had altered their body’s and their chemical make up. Just after Zarkon wakes he finds out his Home has been destroyed and that breaks him making him into the villain he was at the beginning of the show.

All I’m saying is that Zarkon is a villain but, his initial plan is understandable

Unpopular Opinions(Voltron: LD Edition)

Please respect others’ opinions. Thank you! 😊❤️

*Sorry if any of mine are popular. I don’t talk about my opinions with fandoms since they can be pretty toxic.*

Here are mine:

1. The Shiro clone idea was really bad.

I don't like this idea because the development "Shiro" went through between S3 & 6 did not affect the actual Shiro.

2. Voltron went downhill once Keith replaced Shiro as the leader.

I don't think it is Keith's fault for the show's quality depleting; this is a timeline of when quality decreased. But, I think Shiro was a way better leader than Keith since he has the experience and personality of one. Keith is more of a second-in-command, at least for me.

3. Allura and Lance should have never gotten together.

This ship was all over the place. First Lance had a huge unrequited crush on Allura, then he seemed to be moving on and she was in love with Lotor. The development was rushed near the end, and their chemistry was kind of awkward to me.

4. I wasn’t super upset about Allura’s death. Just the way it was written.

Allura never really connected with me. I really tried to like her as much as most of the main characters, but I couldn't feel it. Her death was sudden and lukewarm, especially the goodbye between her and the Voltron crew. There was this feeling of emptiness in this reunion. The circumstances of why she had to die was meh. It would've been better if the lions sacrificed themselves instead.

5. Klance is very overrated(still kind of ship it tho).

This ship was everywhere, and some Klance shippers I've seen were toxic which turned me off for a while. At first, I felt kind of pressured to like this ship since Klance shippers populated the fandom. Now, I genuinely enjoy the ship, though I wish other ships gained more attention.

6. Shiro’s second arm design was bad.

I loved his first arm and was super upset when the designers did a 180 on the second one. It was so clunky and distracting whenever it was in full view. The detached portion of it was really annoying too.

When it comes to robotic limbs, I want them to look natural with the body.

7. Having so many villains was not a great idea.

I've watched shows with a lot of villains and they mostly put me off since some of them were one-note and generic. I really didn't like when Lotor was the temporary villain; he could've been a great ally for the finale. Honerva was pretty rushed and boring; she would have been better if she was the main villain much longer than two seasons. Zarkon was probably the best one.

8. Compared to villains in general, Honerva wasn’t too bad.

Compared to a lot of villains (especially the minor ones), Honerva is okay. I don't think she was great though. She needed a lot more development and her redemption was so quick.

I didn’t have a lot to say since most of my strong opinions are about the last two seasons and I agree with most of the fans.

What do you guys think? 😊❤️

IM GETTING TO THE OTHER WIPS I SWEAR AND IM SORRY FOR THE BAIT AND SWITCH BUT AT LEAST ITS SHIP CONTENT THIS TIME???

the non-text version and video is under the cut :))

💫What if we rewrite the stars💫

Isn’t it the truth?

!!!!! THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Higher res

Gift for @elitas-art for the @allurancexchange!!!

They wanted Altean! Lance and ballroom outfits for both. I thought a dress for Lance would look very cool~

Its was fine. Could have been better

Okay I binged watched Voltron season 8 the day it came out and I came away enjoying it. But it was one of those highs that made you delirious to the fact… it wasn't great.

I did enjoy it, I respect the creators behind it and honestly I think this fandom put far too much pressure on the Voltron creators with all these shipping wars.However, here are some changes I would have made.

1) LANCE, ATLANTEAN, WHY?

Out off all the fanfic AUs to choose from… why this one? Huh? It leaves more questions then it ever answers. Is he actually Atlantean? Can he shape shift like other Atlanteans? Or does he just have markings? I’m so confused and honestly this was one of the top five moments I was like… WHAT? What an unnecessary thing to do. It added nothing to the story and just left us all wondering what it meant.

2) ALLURANCE, WAS IT WORTH IT?

Okay, cool they committed to a ship. Lance becoming Atlantean was only worth while in the regard that when Allura left to save the universe it meant they had a more ‘meaningful’ goodbye.  

But like… it added nothing. Sorry Allurance fans but was that the relationship you wanted? Their first date, alright that was cute. Can’t deny that. But wow, what a rushed romantic relationship. It was ignored pretty much for seven seasons and then suddenly its front and centre in the last season? It was way too intense and didn't get me invested so when Allura ‘died’ I didn't care about their goodbye, cause there was no tension or build up before hand.

Don’t get me wrong I actually like them as a couple. They contrast each other nicely. Allura actually makes Lance think about others, makes him think deeply about the world and I definitely think Lance became a better leader because of her. Lance makes Allura relax and have fun, live in the moment and makes her smile. I like the idea of their relationship, I think it had potential, I thought their was some cute moments between them. Their relationship banter would have been great.

Does this justify giving us an over rushed relationship when you didn't feel anything at their goodbye? No. It would have been better to do no ships at all and left with ‘what if’. Leave the last conversation between Lance and Allura be her saying: ‘Lance, I quite like your ears now, but maybe its just you’. At least that would have some circularity with their relationship and mirrored their first convo.

3) UMMMM…. MORE PALADIN BONDING MOMENTS PLEASE

I just felt like there was a lack of paladin moments. There was no further growth between them. I think the main problem that caused this was that this season was serialised instead of episodic. What I mean by this was that there were not any stand alone episodes that just focused on a side quest or mission, like when Hunk and Keith when to the space Weblum; When Shiro and Pidge found the green lion; When all the team got stuck in the game show reality.

Shiro and Keith who are apparently brothers and mean a lot to each other and had good exploration of their past relationship last season but then had like 4 seconds of alone time. Why not introduce Shiro’s parents to Keith’s parents? Also more of Hunk’s family please! He was so worried about them last season and we got like… no pay off.

Instead, this whole season just focused on the lead up to the final battle, so this season was not character driven but plot driven and I think thats the main sin of this season, IT WASN’T CHARACTER DRIVEN.

4) HUMANS ARE OKAY WITH ALIENS?

Come on, humans can’t stand other humans but there is peace between aliens and humans? Don't buy it. Also the human race just got destroyed by aliens. So show these conflicts. Show that tension. Show the human race trying to get back on its feet.

Maybe merge Acxa's storyline with this prejudice. Have her say she’s used to it, get attacked and abused cause of her half breed status. Then have her attacked by some humans cause she's the only obviously Alien. But then have the other’s, like Griffin and Keith, protect her. Have a whole speech about unity and that at this moment all they have and can rely on is each other. That would have had a powerful message. Also it would have shown Acxa she is not alone. And it’s not cause she’s found a race of people that are similar to her and therefore except her, its cause people care about her and want to treat her as a friend and family.  

5) KEITH

Short and simple. In Keith’s fight with Shiro’s clone he got pointy teeth and yellow eyes. PLEASE EXPAND! I thought we were gonna get it again when Zethrid was fighting Keith. Maybe have the features permanent this time. But no…

It would have been cool a nod to Keith half breed status. If he learned to control his Galra features so he could use them in a fight. Also I love the idea of Keith being able to see better in the dark and utilising that skill to sneak into the kitchen at night.

6) HUNK SHOULD BE AN AMBASSADOR

Hunk finishes as a chief. Okay. Fine. Not great. You know what this season did show. He is great at building bridges between opposing people. He wants peace and has a pretty unbiased opinion as long as it all ends happy for everyone. Pidge says in the game show episode he’s the only to bring people together, lets show that outside of his kitchen skills.

So take his character development further! Have him be an Ambassador of Earth! and King of Peace Treaties! Shiro, Keith, Allura are all leaders in war. Hunk is a leader needed in peace.

7) SHIRO AND THE ALTAS

Okay, they should have taken an episode to explain why on earth Shiro was able to control and transform the Atlas. They said no one could pilot it but Shiro could. So take the time to explain why?

And there’s a pretty obvious answer. It’s cause he spent so much time in the Black Lion’s void. But what are the consequence of this? Can he interact with quintessence more? Can he manipulate it? Does he have a bond with the Atlas like he did with the Black Lion? (In my heart of hearts I wish there was a White Lion like there was theorised) Is he an alchemist like Allura?

Come on, Shiro understanding his new powers and maybe being the first ever human Alchemist/Druid is a cool story line.

Also, while he’s freaking out over this. why not introduce his future husband ! The guy who becomes his rock. His stability. The one that just sees Shiro as Shiro, who doesn’t have any past perceptions of him. Instead of idealising Shiro as their childhood hero, like the rest of the paladins did, let this new guy just like Shiro for himself. Then progress the relationship.

This would have made the last scene more meaningful rather then just throwing a meaningless LGBTQ moment to ‘appease the fans’. Its more offending when they do throw aways like that then actually taking the time to explore and build a relationship.

…I have other points but I’m gonna do that in a second post cause honestly its gonna be a long one. So stay tuned of my therapeutic rant of Voltron Season 8. It was fine but it could have been great!

I can’t help comparing the VOLTRON ships to the new Star wars film’s ships! (Its not how the characters act necessarily, just kind certain parallels I see) (also tiny spoilers)

I feel like Allurance was like ReyxFinn bc there was potential romance then they were “Nope! But they’re besties tho!”

And Klance is like Poe×Finn because most people ship it, they have limited screen time together, some of the cast members ship it, but the fandoms are like “is it gonna happen??? Please??”

Obviously Lotura is Reylo bc I didn’t fucking think they were actually gonna do it, but it’s like do I trust him or??? Also that holding hands thing??? MY HEART!

Pidge and Hunk are like FinnxRose, not only b3cause the big cinnamon role and the badass cute tiny girl, but they just understand each other so well and I feel like are the least problematic??

I’m not saying Zarkon is like Han Solo AT ALL! But Lotor did kill his dad a lot like one Kylo Ren.. (I know Kylo did a BAD thing and Lotor did a good thing in their acts– I’m just saying)

I feel like Shallura could be like Han and Leia because, ya know, they both are leaders and stuff happens and they feel distant but you can tell they care for each other so much??

I’m sorry if these are innacurate idk just how I feel.

we were so wronged

"I see you sitting there at the window sill, looking for shooting stars..." --------You will be mine, LENKA-------- A birthday piece dedicated to my favorite sharpshooter~! Lance is such a complex and interesting character in Voltron and I relate to him a lot. I really hope he gets the character development he deserves, because there's so many secretes we've yet to uncover about Lance. He may seem like an open book, but there's so much hidden between the lines. So here's to Lance, the lionhearted sharpshooter of Voltron! [Also I know this is a day late. I was too busy fangirling about Lance yesterday that I forgot to post it here) (Reblogs help a lot! Enjoy everyone!)

Honestly, I kind of hate how Lance was given altean symbols. Unlike my other posts, however, this isn't hating on him. I mean, his relationship with Allura felt so one-sided. Allura was clearly rebounding on him and the show just didn't want to acknowledge it. She was still hung up on Lotor, even imagining Lotor's face when they kissed, which is wrong. She was basically using him at that point and it actually made me feel bad for him.

But the worst part is the altean markings. Every time he looks in the mirror, he will only be reminded of the fact that Allura is dead. If he ever decided to move on and start seeing other people, they're going to ask about the markings and bringing up your dead ex is never going to make a first date go well.

He's marked by this memory of Allura and it is wrong. I feel as though my previous posts have made it seem as though I hate lance full-stop, when this isn't exactly the case. He had some really good potential and it's mostly the writers whom I dislike for making Lance's character go down hill. Unlike other character who I despise (not really in Voltron, though Haggar comes close to that point), there are moments where I genuinely like Lance.

I liked Lance in season one and two, and I appreciated him through season five. I just find myself disliking him more than I like him which is a shame.

The markings are the cherry on top of the cake. The writers really felt like screwing everyone over in season eight. Just that last shot of Lance with the markings that will always remind him of his dead ex who rebounded on him, as he's farming like a Cuban stereotype, (probably the only Cuban thing he's done in the series which is a whole other can of worms), really sets my teeth on edge.

I promise. I will try to talk about other things, maybe Voltron related, maybe other things like... KHR, Owl House, Gravity Falls, BNHA, One Piece, ect... But I'm currently hyperfixated and it will be a while before I stop. Sorry teehee

Future children pt.2 (Allurance!!!!)

So… Allurance is right after Kidge! Yes, because Lance and Allura, even though she's dead, for me they will always have a happy married life with children and grandchildren!

Zaphia: Dark skin, brown hair, blue Altean markings, round ears and blue eyes. She's good at piloting and a lover of alchemy and water, always curious and playful, but balancing responsibility to outrageousness.

Alfor: olive skin (that of Lance to be clear …), white hair, turquoise eyes, pink Altean signs, pointed ears. He is outgoing and curious, always ready to have fun and learn new things. Impulsive and quite vengeful, but still sweet and he loves alchemy too. He is 4 years younger than Zaphia.

Alex (Alexander??): Olive skin, blue/lilac eyes, white hair and pointed ears, no Altean signs. He is fast and rebellious, he never follows the rules and always gets into trouble, he has a great passion for light combat and legends. He loves Monsters and Mana.

El (Elizabeth???): Olive skin, pink/lilac eyes, white hair and pointy ears, no Altean markings. She is very calm and focused, shy and kind, always composed. She has excellent aim and a passion for video games.

El and Alex are twins and are 4 years younger than Alfor and 8 years younger than Zaphia.
