So many of you weren't around when JDS, LM, Jeremy Shada and Bex were the 4 horsemen of the Votlron apocalypse. Nothing good ever happened when these people were interviewed. Ever.
Bex gave us the iconic "Voltron is a show about war..." speech and ironically had a redemption arc the week before S8 dropped when she confirmed Acxa and Keith were warrior buddies.
The Most Bex Moment Ever was after S7 dropped and everyone rightfully was rioting over Voltron killing their gays and Bex tweeting out, "Ummmmm can we stop this drama and APPRECIATE MY EVIL SPACE LESBIANS ZETHRID/EZOR!😍😍" and every reply under it was, "BITCH, THEY'RE DEAD TOO!"
Bex got roasted so bad they left Twitter for a week and they unburied Ezor in S8 🤣

Thread where I re-read my favorite volume of the Voltron comics - also the last one written by Tim Hedrick 😭 - where the team hangs out with space furries, Hunk adopts an alien son and Lance saves Keith from getting his head chopped off. 💕 Image
When the universe is at stake and you're all really stressed out, what else is there to do other than fucking around with the training equipment like it's a corn maze? ImageImage

Phew! I know I say this shit all the time but shoutout to the klance community for fucking surviving and thriving the VLD era.

Our ship remains the only one that wasn't killed off or sank, and we got some cuteass scenes nearly every season. Bless up! ImageImageImageImage

Illustrative art is highly catered for social media, so a lot of folks in fandom get exposed to How Art Works through people sharing refs and guides. That isn't the same when it comes to writing.
Things like Story Structure and other technical fundaments go right over folks' heads, and when people share good refs it's usually wordy articles or blogs. Not as sexy. This is why I think so many folks argue over characters being flawed or antagonists. They're missing the WHY.
Even a casual understanding of a dynamic between a protagonist and an antagonist - and WHY that's different than a protagonist and a VILLIAN - shifts the conversation away from blanket statements like "NAME is problematic because they did XYZ and nobody should like them ever!"

My nephew has COVID because his shithole dad doesn't believe in masks. Do you know what it sounds like to hear a toddler be so sick and have to hear your best friend whisper how scared she is and doesn't want her husband to find out? Fuck all 70M of you who wanted more of this.
The anger I feel is next level. It feels deeper than me, it's from my soul like my fucking ancestors are furious. There is a line of women behind me who left blood and teeth on the floor to make sure their daughters weren't caught in this web of domestic abuse and gaslighting.
This is conservativism at its end game. Crying while holding your sick toddler, hoping your husband doesn't hear you over the echoes of Fox News and Newsmax propaganda because he's already mad you voted for a guy with a D next to their name. Anyone who says otherwise can eat shit

In honor of Joaquim Dos Santos’ ridiculous BLM tweets and even worse non-apology, I’d like to explain to the internet how Allura did not just die at the end of Voltron Legendary Defender, but was fridged.

Come along with me!
Let’s start by explaining the term “fridged” and the trope. For those not engaged with America superhero comics, it’s whereby female characters are injured, raped, killed, or depowered to move a male character’s story arc forward.

It’s colloquially known as “fridging.”
TW: Violence against women

It refers to an incident in Green Lantern where he comes home to find that his girlfriend, Alexandra DeWitt, had been killed and stuffed into a refrigerator.

This came out in 1994.
