Hey everyone (: Happy Sunday

"No, you'll never be the man that you always swore... but I'll remember you singing in that '88 Ford."

✂ - - - ♥

This is some fanart I did for @minamorsart 's lovely comic, You Are My Cosmos. (Her work is so beautiful and the comic is just so feel-good! Seriously, go read it)

It's also partially inspired by the song "I Remember Everything" by Zach Bryan. I mean, hearing a song about an '88 Ford the same day I read a comic with a '77? Too big of a coincidence. lol.

✂ - - - ♥

Anyway, I'm going to be out of town and away from my computer for about a week, but once I get back I'm planning on finishing some edits on the first chapter of my Reylo AU, and will be posting it soon after.

I'm going to mention that I'm pretty sure the high school AU/reylo thing has been done about a million times. But this is just going to be my own take on it. Hope you guys like it (:

Have a spectacular week! I'll be back.

Hi! You're no longer working on the "You Are My Cosmos" comic?

Hello! I am 100% definitely planning on continuing You Are My Cosmos!! ✨

I was hoping to get started on it as soon as I finished my Voltron story that I've been working on, which I wanted to post at the end of March. However last month a lot of different personal life stuff came up and it was just really hard to find the time you know? 😩

But I am not discouraged! 😤✊ Recently I've finally been able to find time to write the story and have set a goal to hopefully finish it by the end of this month. And THEN once that's done YAMC will be back in business!

Thank you for asking and for your interest in the comic! It really means a lot!! 😊🙏

“You’re in love,” her grandmother’s words echoed in her ears.

Allura bit her lip. This was it. There wasn’t going to be another opportunity after this.

Tell him. Tell him now.

Lotor looked back to her, and as she gazed up at him, she saw his eyes widen in realization.

~~

Happy one-year anniversary of the release of 🌌✨The Empyreal Within!!! To celebrate I wanted to draw a scene from chapter 15, one of my favorite scenes!

The prequel I've been working on, 🌆💫Dawn of Empyreal, is very much still in the works! I'm very excited to get it finished, and I hope you can look forward to it!! Thank you so much for your support!!! 💖💜

Newly recruited Keith joins the Voltron Police Department and is assigned to work with Lotor, a jaded detective with years of experience and a history of losing partners. Keith is fixated on a self-inflicted quest for revenge, but little does he know that his enigmatic partner has a few secrets of his own... 🔍✨

Voltron Detective AU!!! Inspired by one of my favorite K-dramas "The Good Detective". The story is meant to have a more serious and heavy tone to it, but I still wanted to make a few silly doodles just for fun!

What , And how did you start pairing lotura, And Plance .?

Ooooh boy am I excited to answer this!!! This is going to be a long answer, hope you don't mind! Because I have some specific memories about these two ships, particularly lotura, that I would absolutely love to share with you!

Prepare for a long read! Hehe

Starting with lotura, when season 3 came out and Lotor made his debut, of course I was all 👀👀👀 Because that day something awoke in 19 year old me that I didn't realize could ever be awoken lol. And I wish I could remember exactly what my reaction was to his cat-and-mouse chase with Allura in the episode "The Hunted", but at the time I must not have considered the idea of them ever going in the direction of a romance. Looking back now though, how could I have been so blind??! That chase scene is HOT. I mean just look at them!!! Look at Lotor especially woah mama 😳

Season 4 was mediocre to me at the time, I will confess, for a lot of different reasons. But then season 5, man... SEASON 5!!!! I remember it was March 3rd, 2018. I wasn't keeping up with the show anymore, but I just so happened to see an article online that said season 5 had been released the day before on Netflix. I told my sister and we decided, "eh, let's watch at least the first episode."

And we watched the first episode, alright. And then another, and then another and another until we watched all six episodes in one sitting. We were both blown away! Lotor... Allura... together???? 😲

Their adventures, their chemistry, their clear attraction to one another... I was OBSESSED!!! I shipped them hardcore after that. They were and are still my #1 OTP, and it's because of them that I really tried to work hard and improve my art! I wanted to draw them all the time, making mini comics and AUs, and while their tragic ending actually left me in tears and I was upset for a really long time, I can now say that I have been able to heal and move on from it--eh, mostly anyway, haha.

It still hurts, but 5 years later I feel that I've matured and come to a greater understanding and acceptance. I have come to really appreciate how perfect they are for each other, both aesthetically of course (cuz lookit that sexual dimorphism babeyyy) as well as the many, many things they have in common. I have also come to appreciate their flaws, their imperfections, and the mistakes they made regarding each other and their relationship. They may have gotten a sad ending, but they were still truly equals in every way. It's just beautiful, and my love for them now is stronger than ever :')

For Lance and Pidge on the other hand, it's not quite as clear as when I started shipping them! I remember rolling my eyes at Lance and Allura's first meeting, like "okay Lance is one of THESE guys, here we go 🙄"

Other than that I didn't really ship Lance or Pidge with anyone! If I'm recalling correctly, I don't think it wasn't until after season 6 that I started shipping them together. I remember reading metas and analyses of their relationship that people were making in anticipation for season 7's release, and the more I thought about it, the more I started to really like the idea of Lance and Pidge getting together! And there are definitely subtle hints throughout the earlier seasons of Pidge's feelings for Lance, as well as their fun chemistry with one another, like the episode "Space Mall"!

The hints are not so subtle to me now, but back then it wasn't until I watched season 7 that I actually became hopeful that they could be a couple! I especially loved the moments when Pidge indirectly called Lance "cute, in a creepy, hideous sort of way" lol, and when Lance become very protective over Pidge in such a way that I don't think we ever saw him react before! I was honestly taken aback by that moment!

And again, their ending was definitely less than satisfactory, particularly Lance's ending (still hate it with a passion), but just like with Lotura's relationship, I have also come to appreciate many things about Plance's relationship today. While Lotor and Allura have so much in common and are able to reach an understanding with each other that they can't with anyone else, it would seem at first that Pidge and Lance are far too different to be compatible. And it is true that they are very different, but for one, that can be a good thing! The foundations of some relationships are built off of their differences. It can make someone more compassionate and more open-minded when they have a willingness to accept and appreciate the differences they have with their partner, and a willingness to take a genuine interest in the things that their partner is passionate about, even if they don't completely understand.

And two, at the same time, Pidge and Lance DO have things in common! They both love their families, both have a stronger connection to Earth compared to the other paladins, and they are able to bond with one another over fun pastimes such as video games! How cute is that??!

And just like with Lotor and Allura, I also love Pidge and Lance for their flaws. It did take me a while to come around to Lance, because while he has his funny moments and one-liners, I also found him very annoying at times lol. But I think the fact that he can be really annoying honestly makes him the most realistic character in Voltron. Not necessarily the most relatable, at least not for me, but definitely the most human! Because there are people in our real lives that we love and cherish deeply, but they absolutely have their moments where you go, "ugh, you're so annoying and it really frustrates me when you act this way" but we still wouldn't trade them for the world 🥰

And just to draw one last comparison between Lotura and Plance, I especially LOVE how incredibly different the two pairings are even from each other! To me, Lotor and Allura are sexy and passionate, while Pidge and Lance are pure and fun! They're all so unique and special in their own ways, and they bring so much to the table, both for their characters and for their relationships.

I can't help but write essays every time I get asks, I'm so sorry lol 😭 There's so much more I could say about these guys, but I think I'd better stop here haha! I had a lot of fun writing about Lotura and Plance, and I hope you had just as much fun reading this! I really love these characters a lot. I'm so incredibly grateful that they exist, even if in the form of fiction, and I'm even MORE grateful that my love for them has continued to grow over the years. Thank you so much for the ask!!!! 💖💜💙💚

Oh and one last thing: we were robbed of a lot of different potential interactions with a lot of different characters, but I have to say it would have been fun to see more of Lotor and Lance interacting with each other! Lance was always acting out due to his jealousy, while Lotor on the other hand mostly just ignored him lol.

How and , what got you , into Voltron legendary , Defenders.

Hello!!! Omg thank you so much for asking! 🤩 It's honestly all thanks to Studio Mir that I watched it in the first place! When I was in middle school I watched Avatar: The Last Airbender a few years after it aired, and I really liked it! Not long after that I remember hearing about the sequel show, The Legend of Korra, which was to be animated by a newfound animation company called Studio Mir. It was made up of incredibly talented South Korean animators, many of whom had also worked on Avatar! And as a half Korean, I am always eager to support my mom's home country 😌✊🇰🇷

Korra ended in 2014, and while I wasn't as into the show as I was when it first aired in 2012, I still greatly admired the work that Studio Mir put into it (particularly the first season and the Wan episodes!) and wanted to follow the studio's career to see what they would work on next. I remember checking their website a LOT haha. And then in late 2015? Early 2016? Can't really remember, but Studio Mir finally announced their newest project, Voltron: Legendary Defender! I was skeptical of it at first, but because I loved Studio Mir so much, I decided to give it a shot.

I still remember that summer of 2016, man. CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER. I'm so thankful to Studio Mir, because if it weren't for them I wouldn't have gotten to experience Voltron with all of its wonderful and tragic moments. To this day the show remains to be the media that has made the biggest impact on me, both on my life and on my art :')))

Thank you so much for the ask!!! I always get so excited for any opportunity to talk about Voltron hehe

GENDERBENT LOTURA BABEYY!!!!! 💖💜 Making character sheets is so much fun!!

Explanation of the design choices below!

LOTOR - Galra are already naturally very tall, including the women, so I can see female Lotor being about the same height as male Lotor -- taller than Alteans, but still smaller than the average Galra. The interesting thing about the Galra designs is that the men and women are built pretty similarly, aside from the women being slightly less stocky. Even more interestingly in my opinion is that Lotor's character design already has some objectively feminine features: long hair, cinched waist, cape that resembles a skirt, etc. So in my mind female Lotor wouldn't need a whole lot of changing at all, including her armor! However I did still try to make her a little more feminine by giving her bigger eyes, longer and softer hair, a little less muscle, and a slightly curvier body. I also made her shoulder pads bigger and pointier to accentuate her thinner arms, similar to Acxa. Lastly, I took away the lock of hair that hangs over male Lotor's face because it seems to be a more masculine feature.

ALLURA - I feel that Alteans follow a more conventional style of representing male and female archetypes, at least compared to the Galra. That being said, I personally thought it'd be boring if I turned male Allura into his father Alfor simply because he's a man, so I thought it'd be fun to keep him as similar to his mother Melenor as possible, while still applying Altean masculine features! This means shorter hair and more masculine clothing, including a bigger cape and a dark gray color for the pants (inspiration taken from Alfor and Coran), but I liked the pink so I kept it! I definitely also wanted to keep the pink facial markings, as it's my personal headcanon that Altean markings are passed down maternally. Female Allura is already tall, and male Allura I feel would be as tall as Alfor, though not as muscular yet since he is still young (I always saw Allura's mental age as being in her early to mid-20's and Lotor in his late 20's to early 30's). Alteans are not as tall as Galra, however, so male Allura would be shorter than female Lotor. We still get that cute height difference though!

As far as naming goes, I'm stumped to be honest! I want to be able to respect the original names while still creating something unique for their counterparts. However, just as Galra men and women have similar body types and are even androgynous for some, their names appear to have the same qualities, which I quite like! So would Lotor's name actually need to change at all? Perhaps "Lo" sounds more masculine, but the "or" suffix is found among not only male and female Galra names (Lotor, Ezor, Mogor) but Altean as well (Melenor, Alfor, Bandor) which makes me think that the "or" is simply something exclusive to the Voltron universe. And I have no idea what to do with Allura's name haha! Alluro? Alluron? Maybe we could keep the name the same there as well?? I'd be fine with that too.

If you took the time to read all of this thank you so much!!! Character designing, thinking about what makes a character distinct, and considering what certain design choices mean are some of my absolute favorite things to do. I would love to design characters all day if I could, and Voltron has a been a fantastic inspiration for that!! 😊

Do you potentially see yourself finishing your comic then in a fanfiction maybe?

Are you referring to You Are My Cosmos? Actually I am planning on continuing it this year! I haven't made an official announcement yet, but after I finish my little lotura prequel fanfic project (coming in March and will be 2-3 of chapters long) I plan on finally resuming YAMC until it's completion 😊

I have considered turning it into a fanfic in the past, however I strongly believe that comic form is the best form in order to tell the story that I want. I appreciate you asking about it! And I am sincerely grateful that people are still interested in the story 😖🙏

As the time gets closer I will definitely be making an official announcement, but until then I hope you will stick around and keep an eye out for future YAMC news!! 😁🌟
