Voltron Galra - Tumblr Posts

I have no excuses 😔 I love him. I actually hate how I did his hair but I'ma fix it when I draw it digitally. Also I have no idea if you want to see these when I digitize it but I do turn it into more than just a floating head and it's like a whole thing but idk. Also behold the best boy in the whole universe ✨K O S M O! ✨

So, I read @leenfiend ‘s comic: What’s ur Type.

And I was thinking a little too hard about the part where they found out Alteans have Marco-Polo too.

A thought dump (and spoilers) 👇

Like, why is that what’s crazy? If I went to space and there were humans with pointed ears, glowy things under their eyes, and magical powers, THATS what would shock me.

How is it that a whole other part of the universe has a planet with similar beings existing on it, and they aren’t related at all?

Also they speak a dialect of English??? HOW DO THEY SPEAK THE SAME LANGUAGE-

I know it’s just a show, and it’s made for kids, but THIS IS A BRAIN TWISTER FOR ME.

Another thing, how tf did the patriarchy also exist on another part of the universe???

This might be a stretch but-

It’s kinda crazy that the patriarchy also occurred for the Galra, like even though Honerva’s Altean, SHES the one who discovered Quintessence, not Zarkon. (I think)

Maybe it’s because he was a paladin of Voltron and he’s Galran? But even so, Honerva killed the other paladins from what I remember, did she not? (So she asserted dominance LOL)

Also Lotor and most of the Galra called Honerva “The Witch”, they didn’t even call her Haggar, but hey called her a WITCH.

Yes, she does magic, and she’s Altean, but we’re there not other druids too alongside her? They never called them witches.

And even the claim that she’s Altean, I know this is a fault of character, but she’s literally proven her loyalty to Zarkon. She works under him, has been with the Galra for numerous years, hell, SHE EVEN HAD A KID WITH HIM. But I guess they’re so corrupt by the Quintessence that they just forgor!!

Another thing is, there’s mostly men in the Galran army, why is that?

I can count on my hands how many (full) Galran women I’ve seen throughout the show.

This is either that the people behind the scenes didn’t bother to draw women, or that Zarkon purposely chose men to fight for him.

Basically what I’m trying to say is, we don’t pay enough attention to how wild the concept of this show is.

Four random ass teenagers and some dude who got abducted were chosen to be in control of this space super weapon that is supposed to defend the universe from this race of aliens that are all chasing after some sort of a space drug that is essentially made up of LIFE FORCE.

DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAZY THAT IS????

Thank you for reading!! 😽

After rewatching the first two seasons of Voltron, it's really eye opening to see how scary the Galra is. I grew up on a lot of tv shows where the villains are hyped up to be formidable and unstoppable, only to be incompetent and sad. (Some were at least confident in how incompetent they are.)

But then we get to the Galra. The Galra have nearly defeated Team Voltron several times, with Sendak almost being victorious in Season 1 Episode 4.

As much as I'm most likely going to get hate for this, the Galra are on the same tier of competency as the Fire Nation from Avatar the Last Airbender. As someone who is an absolute mega fan of ATLA, that is the biggest compliment I can give.

Excuse me, am I the only one to think that Galra empire is like the exact copy of the roman empire???? I'LL PROBABILY WRITE A POST ABOUT THAT.

i have this headcanon thing going on that baring your teeth and/or hissing or growling is like the mega offense in Galra culture. it’s like blatantly giving someone the middle finger but worse?? it’s the definition of disrespectful and it likely will start a fight if you bare your fangs to the wrong Galra.

Keith is much like Krolia in the way that they both simply just… do it. they don’t realize they do it sometimes, but they will bare their fangs at any minor inconvenience or irritation.

it doesn’t affect most of the team Voltron, but Allura and Coran know enough to at least raise an eyebrow at this. they can tell that they both don’t realize they’re doing it. keith especially.

lance finds it endearing, in a way. he’s like an angry kitty cat.

pidge said something similar to keith once so he attempted to smother them with a pillow

shiro probably gently scolds keith about it when he learns the connotations. his little brother is being rude stop it, that’s not allowed

The idea of Keith baring his fangs (which he definitely has) while hissing at someone like a cat lives in my head rent free.
