I don’t wanna get too shippy but where was Keith and Shiro’s friendship? Where was that relationship where two people crossed universes to save each other? Who found a family with each other? Why was their only interaction military talk? What happened to the Keith and Shiro we saw in literally any other season?
Since I’m sure everyone else is doing it, why not add my stupid fucking opinions too.
Well done, Voltron, for making me cry (again). A feat that has only ever been accomplished by a scene of a horse movie when I was younger. I’m so fucking upset that it’s over, I love this show so fucking much and the thought that there’ll never be another season is just sksksksk
Allurance was… a thing
“Lance will end up with someone different from the beginning” or whatever it was was complete and utter bullshit. I don’t hate Allurance but it wasn’t set up properly in my opinion. They could have like,,, NOT said that and then it wouldn’t be such a let down. He’s been going after her since episode 1, and it still feels so fucking strange to have her suddenly feel the same as of season 7. Not to mention, he didn’t even seem too happy when he went out on a date with her. Why did he turn around and do that, and then have those reactions completely gone later on. Not to mention; way to fucking kill off Allura. If you don’t want to deal with the backlash, write! Your! Romances! Better!!!! Especially the ones who will be endgame!!
I’m still not sure what to think of Shiro’s new man, I like that it’s at least in there, but once again, wasn’t handled the best. Our best lgbt+ rep was a couple a’ galra gals who didn’t even actually kiss like shiro and whoever the fuck his new dude is. Give us a name PLEASE.
The animation, as always, was Fucking GORGEOUS, I will always kiss the feet of the animators, because animation is fucking hard and to make HAND DRAWN things look that good, especially combat, is basically the fucking work of gods in my eyes. I’m still fucking NUTTING over how pretty everything is
The!!!! Old!!!! Paladins!!!! I LOVE how they came into play, it really sells the idea that Voltron is one of the most powerful, mysterious thing in the universe with how, through adead bitchllura they could purify the Paladins Of Old, even fucking evil emperor Zarkon himself!!! That’s the fucking universe’s Defender babey!!!!!
Oh fuck, right, “Keith will see Lance’s sword” where??????? Stick to your fucking PROMISES PLEASE. I have mixed feelings and these inconsistencies are playing into it. If there’s any reason I’m glad Voltron is over, it’s because we don’t have to second guess every fucking thing the Voltron team says. I’m also super Fucking upset that the leaks were real, mainly because of the legal reasons. Whoever released them, fuck you
I think that’ll be it for now, I need to sleep and maybe cry more. Take care voltron community, it’s been an honour flying with you all.
Pardon the text post, but I needed to make a brain dump of everything that I wanted to see happen in VLD. May add or delete later, but without further ado, here is:
What I expected / wanted to happen in Voltron: Legendary Defender
At least a season of Team Lotor hijinks (like Azula and Ozai’s Angels) before falling out
Estranged generals join the Blade of Marmora
…And finally have a heart wrenching reunion where they reconcile with Lotor *feels*
Keith and Axca are siblings! Yay!
* Evil Altean Empire returns! And they’re more scary than the Galra ever were because they have evil space magic and brainwashing! Yikes!
Paladins meet their evil twins from another reality? Evil Voltron?
Big Bad turns out to be the entities coming from the corrupted quintessence - and they’ve been using Hagar and Zarkon as puppets of evil, and only Voltron is the only thing that can stop them, which is why Zarkon is so intent on capturing Voltron from Season 1
You know how the Galra War was big? Well that was fish sticks compared to the ACTUAL interdimensional war between one group of entities trying to stop the evil entities from gobbling up all the quintessence in every reality
You know how Alfor felt like the comet ore was engineering itself? *George Tsoukalos hands* ✋ENTITIES
* MFEs transformer/combine into robots and get a WHOLE FLEET of kickass fighter jets (seriously, this was such a missed opportunity smh)
Also, after the showdown on Earth, everyone scrambles to build better defenses using a combination of Arusian, Earth, and Altean engineering
Haggar/Honerva is now fully self-aware but chooses to join the evil entities because Evil is Fun
Team Voltron meets and fights alongside original Paladins (which happened, but not in the Finale)
Finale is a giant mecha teamup between Voltron, Team Lotor, Atlas, and MFEs against the Final Boss Evil Entities
For the Finale:
I truly detest “just a dream” endings, but LOVE bittersweet endings with heroic sacrifices. If done right, this is how the finale could’ve gone down:
a bittersweet restart ending where Team Voltron has to alter the original reality so that 10,000 years of war never happened, but that means they never would have met and formed Voltron.
Altea and Daibazaal would still exist, but idk if everyone would retain their memories of their past lives
OR they could pull a Lost Light 25 - make a happy reality where that happens, but also keep their own reality, which they worked so hard to protect (I like this option the best - let’s go with that)
On a less dramatic note, I also wanted this to happen:
Team Punk does it again. And again. And again. Nothing can stop these chaotic good nerds
Adam doesn’t die
Cannon Lotura
And of course
Cannon Klance
Darker options I thought they’d take for season 8:
Lotor fuses with his sincline mecha, becoming an eldritch weapon like the ultimate monster Keith and Krolia released, but much more evil
Using his powerful new form, he’s able to pierce realities and becomes a quintessence-havresting warlord even worse than Zarkon
Eventually he teams up with the evil Altean Empire and Dragon Mecha Warlord LOTOR becomes the Final Boss
Maybe Honerva finds him and is like, o shite guess I’ll join too
Honestly at that point, the protagonists are screwed. Gonna need an interdimensional entity like Bob to lend a hand here
I’m so happy to post my comic for @sheithfixitzine! Hope you guys enjoyed it, it’s full of wonderful art and stories (I chose to fix the “Knights of Light” episode, it’s so intense!)
We are two weeks away from the premiere of Voltron Season 8. In these final weeks, we want to take a step back and really show our love for this series. In these two weeks leading up to December 14th, we’d like to dedicate each day to a different character or group.
We encourage you to draw, write, make videos, etc; anything you’d like, to show your appreciation! You are not required to participate every day unless you want to!

Use these days to send your love to the cast and crew! If you’re unsure of how to reach them, please feel free to reference our Twitter masterpost (tagged on our blog ‘#twitter masterpost’). Unfortunately, we can’t include a link due to Tumblr being a little broken right now.
And, of course, use the tag #ThankYouTeamVoltron here and on Twitter (our handle is @TYTeamVoltron) so that we can see it too! ♥ All of us love seeing your content!
By the time this posts, the new season will be out and we’ll all be off-grid until we finish it. Use today to thank the creators, voice actors, and crew for all of their hard work! We’ll check in with you all later to catch up! ♥
I forgot to blacklist the spoiler tag and I just got back from my hiatus.
Well…first of all: fuck.
Second: fuuuuuck.
And third: you know what? Whatever.
That was a wild ride and I’m gonna love VLD no matter what, because at the end of the day, it’s still just a show. Of course I hoped it could be more than that, but I’ve learned that sometimes you just have to enjoy things for what they are. So that’s why Voltron is and always will remain something that entertained me to pieces, taught me how to appreciate different things/views, and gave me the chance to meet amazing, talented people who respectfully liked the same things I did.
Am I a bit disappointed on how it ended? Sure, in some ways more then others, but that doesn’t take away the joy and emotions I felt while watching it.
Being part of this community -and I’m not just talking about the shipping part of it-, was a great experience, and it won’t be a rather disappointing canon ending that’ll take all the fun away from me.
I’ll still ship what I want (my fellow plancers, I’ll love you all until the end of times! Never stop gardening!), enjoy what I want, make up new stories for it in my mind and with my pen. This series might be over, but my love for it and its characters, isn’t.
I don’t know if it’s related or just a case, but I lost 4 followers after posting this.
Eeeeeeh.
Petty, much?
If you need me, I’ll be over here, in my garden, minding my own business, shipping the heck out of whatever I want to ship, and staying as far away as I can from yall’s negativity.
