[the-music-maniac]

It's 2023 and I'm angry once again about the shitty writing in the last few seasons of Voltron.

Today's topic - Shiro. More specifically his romantic relationships - and the wasted potential.

I think I'm mostly annoyed at how the writing choices just don't make any sense to me. Specifically the part where they literally didn't give us any information about Shiro's love interests. Nothing. Like who does that? Who writes a romance where one half of the couple is entirely an unknown? They didn't do that for any other main ship in the show, only the lgbtq+ one and maybe it wasn't intentional but it kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Correct me if I'm remembering wrong but I think the one scene they show us of Shiro and Adam is in the midst of a fight - they don't really show their relationship in exactly a good light and it's the ONLY thing they give us of them. Why is that the only thing you show us. How did they meet? What was their relationship vibe? Milestones in their relationship, important moments, uh what kind of person Adam was? Anything? ANYTHING??

Don't get me wrong, all the Adam x Shiro fanart and speculations are absolutely amazing, and y'all are an absolute wonder, I hope everyone who does ship Adam x Shiro keep finding all the joy and happiness in that ship - but just, I find it personally hard to ship two people when I know vastly more about one of the people and nothing about the other. And there's some part of me that almost feels like Voltron did this on purpose. They put no effort into Adam and Shiro and it pisses me off. And then! They continue to put in zero effort, and kill Adam off! Okay fine! I guess he was just meant to be a side character, cannon fodder for Shiro's tragic backstory, WHATEVER I HATE IT BUT OKAY?!

BUT T H E N, they have the opportunity to start over again with another romance and they STILL DON'T SHOW US SHIT. Who does Shiro even marry wtf was his name? Curtis??????? DO WE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MAN. AN Y T H I N G. HOW MUCH SCREENTIME OF HIM DO WE GET, PRAY TELL. WHO IS CURTIS HUH. TELL ME ABOUT HIM, I AM ON MY KNEES. I AM ASKING FOR THE BARE MINIMUM HERE. CURTIS AND SHIRO AS A RELATIONSHIP DESERVES BETTER. PUT IN SOME DAMN EFFORT. WTF.

And I would perhaps be able to make my peace with it, if I didn't feel that they ignored literally the perfect candidate for a relationship with Shiro after Adam, with all of the foundations already fucking BUILT. It would have taken so little effort at that point to write a compelling relationship where BOTH characters are well known and loved. I am talking about MATT. Hear me out.

We actually KNOW Matt. We are fond of Matt. He is our meme lord. He is our bespectacled (or not so bespectacled anymore) badass. A rebel, a staff wielding king. And not only that, he has known Shiro for a damn long time. He was literally in the first scene of the show WITH Shiro. They worked together at the Academy and in the field, not knowing each other that well of course, but got thrown into that entire Galra kidnapping situation, protected each other in the field, lost contact, got reunited, became friends - meanwhile Matt became like, a ten bajillion times more confident in himself, more reassured, taken on a leadership role, a scenario where it could potentially lead to some people (AHEM perhaps a certain person with one arm) sitting up and taking notice after years of knowing the other person -

Like do not try and tell me that's not the perfect set up for a developing relationship. Someone you've known for a long time, circumstances push you to work together, get to know each other, save each other, and you get closer and eventually realize hey. I think I might like this person. That shifting dynamic, that developing relationship - what could be better? AND IT WAS BASICALLY ALREADY IN THERE. IT WAS SITTING RIGHT THERE, IT WAS XISNJSNJSBDJDNDNDBDND

Also they would be an absolute power couple, don't even lie to me.

Their personalities are so fucking compatible as well. Like Shiro's seriousness and competence and dry humour in contrast with Matt's endearingly nerdy brand of goofiness along with his own competence/skills? Can you imagine how adorable that would've been?

Not only that, Shiro is already basically Pidge's pseudo older brother. They have such strong sibling vibes, can you imagine how awesome it would've been if Shiro had actually become Pidge's brother in law???

Not to mention having Matt start up a relationship with Shiro - bisexual/pansexual representation.

All I wanted was SOME effort. Like, I would have been perfectly happy with Adam X Shiro or Curtis x Shiro if the writers had simply put in an ounce of effort into making it convincing. It's such lazy writing and it makes me so upset, thinking back on it. And it makes me even more upset realizing they could've made it amazing by picking a character that already has the perfect setup. the lack of effort almost feels intentional, because it wouldn't have even taken that much to make a convincing, well written relationship. ThIS is the representation you hinted at for so long? This is what we waited for? Are you fucking joking. I'm gonna riot, Shiro and Adam and Curtis deserved better.

I have a feeling thinking about this stuff is gonna make me spiral and sooner or later I'm gonna start ranting about the lack of effort they put into Allura and Lance as well And the lost potential of Klance of course

God, Voltron was such a shit show.

#no but seriously why is shiro x matt not a more popular ship i don't understand #shiro x matt #matt x shiro #shatt #miro #adashi #adam x shiro #shiro x adam #shiro x curtis #curtis x shiro #voltron legendary disappointment #voltron ledgendary defender #voltron #shadam

[arabella-s-arts]

Well, I'm finally making a post about Voltron. Which I understand causes war flashbacks for a lot of you. But don't worry, I won't be talking about Klance, but I should mention that I will be talking about season 8, more specifically Shiro's relationship with Curtis.

I don't hate it.

It certainly wasn't good, and to the people who ship Shiro with Adam instead, that's incredibly valid. But the thing is, I think Shiro and Curtis could have really worked a lot better, the show just had to do a bunch of small things.

We barely see them interact, there are zero hints of a romance blooming between them, the closest that season 8 has to any sort of genuine interaction is Curtis being in the audience, cheering on Shiro when Shiro was arm wrestling. I get that a lot can change in ten years, and that's when their relationship really started, but it doesn't make for good storytelling. There's no development, so we have no interest in them.

As for the small things I was talking about. I would've loved it for hints at something going on with the two of them in season 8, even if it just was in the background. Seeing Curtis talking to friends, but then Curtis sees Shiro and gets visibly shy. Friends clearly teasing him about something, while Curtis blushes in response. Curtis and Shiro having a conversation in the background where there are signs that they are both a little flustered. There could also be things more in the foreground that are simple. Such as Shiro and Curtis having a conversation that isn't necessarily flirty, but shows closeness. Shiro making an off hand comment about how he has to go, because him and Curtis were planning to do something. Curtis giving Shiro a compliment in the vlog episode (or anywhere really).

I would've also loved something similar to what they did at the beginning of season 3 of The Owl House. Where there are photos, and maybe short scenes of what goes on in the ten year time skip. It would be the perfect place for Shiro and Curtis to be shown having fun together.

Literally, just choose like five of these things to do, and that's all it would take for me to become completely obsessed with them.

#there's also a distinct lack of any Curtis content in season 8 #he never becomes a fully fleshed out character #understanding his personality is kind of important #when he becomes a main character's husband #voltron #shiro #takashi shirogane #curtis #voltron legendary defender #shiro x curtis

[kidge-planet]

Season 8 made Allurance, Shiro X Curtis and excuse me but Shay and Hunk is canon (paladins handbook says that Shay has a thing for Hunk and plus, she is the only one visiting hunk when he is at the hospital. For me, it is canon and I want these two cinnamon rolls to be happy.) ... The only ones that are left are Keith and Pidge... IM DYING, THEY HAD A LOT OF SCREEN TIME BETWEEN SEASON 7 AND 8. Like?!?

[anxiousravenboy]

some silly voltron thoughts;

shiro is actually very goofy and fun around his partner (originally this was gonna be about adam but it could also apply to curtis)

around the team, he's their leader and a parental figure. he provides them with guidance and instruction, and he's a mentor. he's the black lion's paladin, but with his partner, he's shiro and that's so special to me guys

like imagine he's baking with his partner, he's wearing some branded apron he was gifted by the garrison as part of a consolation package, and they both have flour in their hair and on their noses.

whatever they were making ends up burnt but they laugh about it and order postmates instead, turning on a stupid horror movie and eating storebought cookies until they fall asleep on the couch.

it's one of the few domestic moments that shiro *really* gets to experience as a pilot, but more importantly it makes him remember he's in his fucking 20's. it gives him a chance to actually feel like it.

when he's around someone he loves (especially if it's romantic), he lets himself feel like he doesn't know what he's doing. and that feels so, so good. for once, he doesn't have to pretend all of his shit is together, and he can relax and act his age.

I’ve just realised no one on here realises how badly I am Voltron trash!

(even when the fandoms been dead for ages now!!)

It was my first fandom for little ol baby me back in 2016, who hadn’t yet realised that they were about to collect the

 “pretty boy/ goofball comic relief character thats always there for the others, who the creators kinda just beat up for jokes even tho they almost definitely are severely traumatized and also probably Neurodivergent/ dyslexic/ bisexual (that ends up in almost definitely loveless/non-compatible relationships bc no gay??) but no one in the show acknowledges it” 

the very moment my eyes were set upon Lance!

i also survived the shipping war by hc Keith as ace (lances 2nd platonic soulmate after hunk, bc bonding moment) and lance dating matt bc latte has my heart bc goofy meme bisexual bfs who decided to get married so lance is legally pidges brother????

YES PLEASE??????

honestly matt/lance or matt&lance has taken over my Voltron brain like their ship name is so cute as well!?!? i love latte!!

alsooooo matt should have become the blue paladin and lance should have become the black paladin and if i ever get a chance at working on a Voltron reboot, you bet this last bit will be fucking cannon!!!

(Allura can be the red paladin after getting some actually GOOD character development and growing to realise she doesn’t need romance to be happy after like some really random love square involving her lotor, lance, and matt! also, lotor redemption where he wasn’t actually killing altaens  and it was hagger or something)

ALSO also ADAM FUCKING LIVES AND HES LANCES OLDER BROTHER (veronicas twin!!)

idky im posting this i just needed to get the voltron brain rot to disapper for a bit so i can actually get to finishing my stranger things fics!!

#voltron #latte voltron #matt x lance #matt holt x lance McClain #black paladin lance #red paladin allura #blue paladin matt #adam voltron #adam is lances older brother and somehow shiro didnt realise #let shiro have his husband #i do love curtis tho #hes sweet #voltron brain rot #ace keith korgane #is that how u spell it? #im throwing this to the void #should i do a vld / st crossover?? #with st in the vld universe?? #steve is shiro for sure #mike is the red paladin but he hates that hes steves second hand #when steve goes missing mike becomes black paladin while max becomes red #ROBIN IS THE EQUIVILENT OF CORAN AND I WONT TAKE QUESTIONS #WITH HELP FROM MURRAY AND ARGYLE #will is the blue paladin #dustin is yellow and erica is green #will mike and erica are trying to find their siblings who were all with steve for the kerberos mission #this has offically gotten away from me #if anyone reading the tags wants this i will make a st/ vld crossover post

The light bleeds through

Shiro & Keith. SFW, 1.1k words. No.15: emotional damage and new scars. Shiro will not be saved.

Shiro doesn’t like mirrors. He avoids them as much as he can. But it’s impossible to completely avoid reflective surfaces— particularly in space— so when he's forced to see himself mirrored in the windows of the observation deck, he takes in a deep breath, closes his eyes, and smiles.  

The last thing he wants is for Keith to think he needs saving.  

“This is nice.”  

Shiro’s smile is easy, dazzling and far too bright for anyone to notice that he is far from okay. He hasn’t been okay for a while, but he’s gotten so good at faking it, even the one person he desperately hoped would see through it is fooled.  

Shiro doesn’t just dislike the version of himself that’s reflected.  

He hates it.

Shiro, what's your favorite part of Atlas? Are there favorite parts even? I picture the ship manifesting a whole entire luxury spa or something, in response to multiple crew requests. Is that how that works?

I'm currently an X Atlas captain because I've been on earth for about 6 years now the 1st year I got to take a break for a bit with Curtis and me just traveling shortly after returning to the Garrison with a new rank as Admiral of Central Garrison and a few months ago All the Admiral's of all the different Garrison locations got summoned by the Head General of the Galaxy Garrison to report to HQ. When I was last on the Atlas Colleen Holt and someone else on the crew took over work on the Atlas. I currently don't know who is in power.
