WAIT PLEASE CONTINUE TALKING ABOUT THE LEGATO BDSM AESTHETIC FROM THOSE TAGS IM SO DEEPLY INTERESTED (I care legato so much)

First off, I’m truly sorry for how long I took to answer ya. I often forget I even got an Ask-box ahah!

As to my opinion on why “The Leather/BDSM-like aesthetic is important to Legato’s character”...

I know my original post was a bit vague but it’s truly less about how “cool” he looks, and more about the symbolism of it. Legato outfit is outwardly menacing. It's a silent threat. Similar to those birds who evolve to have brighter colors to warn off predators.

And sure the metal skull looks sick, but it isn't as bone chilling (ah-ah). When he's first introduced, everything just Stop so you can take it in the Danger reeking from him. He’s bound by leather straps, got giant metal spikes coming out of his shoulder like some sort of fucked up pauldron, as well as bits of a real human skull directly sewn into the hard leather of his coat.

(Adding to that my UNPROVEN suspicions that the skull belongs to Legato’s abuser..)

And that’s just his outfit. He’s surrounded by similar things. His weapon is truly the less subtle example of this.

A mix of different truly lethal weapons in the form of an Iron-maiden/sex-toy/stress-Toy. The face of the weapon bound in leather with only one of her eyes being visible. (similar to how Legato usually only got one eye visible because of his hair).

It’s blatant and disturbing. It’s depraved Flesh and deadly Metal.

Then, he gets his spine broken by Knives. And where does that put him?

In a metal sarcophagus pretty similar to (once again) an Iron-maiden. He stays there for the most of the story. Bound to it, stuck, mangled. Yet he’s still as terrifying as ever if not more. Sometimes portrayed similarly to a butterfly cocoon, waiting to hatch and release something more powerful..

And finally, his resident-evil goons.

They aren’t really interesting nor are they developed as anything more than Legato’s barely human servants. They got no dialog, no personality, no free will.. Nothing but an imposing mass of flesh in hard leather binding them, blinding them. They look like they come straight from an Hellraiser movie.

Even Legato’s powers themselves are a manifestation of his trauma. They’re metal wire used to fully control bodies against the will of their owner. Making them slaves and most often than not leaving them as a mass of mangled flesh.

Even Legato’s name itself meaning “bound” in Italian. (Thanks to @jackalandhare for this information btw)

In conclusion,

Legato's whole aesthetic reeks of his trauma. It's suffocating, eerie, menacing and binding in seemingly debilitating ways at times, as well as kinda sexual in undertones. It’s Legato abuse and pain on display. And I think all of these details, this aesthetic is a big insight on Legato Bluesummers as a person and what he went and is going through.

HOWEVER, that is not to say Stampede approach will be uninteresting! The symbolism is still strong with Orange. They tend to channel it through a more solid World Building.

We know they planned to add lore on colored hair in link with sexual slavery. And the design of the metal skull as well as his arm, probably implies some sort of body modification more similar to the other Eye of Michael experiments.

I just think it’s a bit unlucky that the change in aesthetic made us lose this much symbolism wise..

Pick your top ten ships without looking at the questions

1. Josuke/Okuyasu (JJBA)

2. Jotaro /Kakyion (JJBA)

3. Joseph/Caesar(JJBA)

4. Vash /Wolfwood (Trigun)

5. Yuri /Victor (Yuri!!! on ice)

6. Spiderman/Deadpool (Marvel Comics)

7. Lance/Keith (Voltron: LD)

8. Sole survivor/Hancock (idk if this really counts but, Fallout 4)

9. Keith/Shiro (Voltron LD)

10. Dio/Johnathan (JJBA again)

lmao as you can see I am Jojo trash, and these are in somewhat of a random order

1.    Do you remember the episode/scene/chapter that you first started shipping 6?

I think it was after I started reading the Spiderman/Deadpool comics that I realized they were the perfect power couple. I mean at first I thought people just shipped them because they looked alike, now I understand.

2.    Have you ever read a FanFiction about 2?

Yap, yap, yap. But I haven’t found any really good ones that are longer, if you know some dm me.

3.    Has a picture of 4 ever been your screen saver/profile picture/tumblr avatar?

My computer wallpaper was the picture of them on the couch for the longest fucking time, and idk why because that scene always made me cry. But idk about profile pic or anything like that.

4.    If 7 were to suddenly break up today, what would your reaction be?

If they got together I would be bouncing off of the walls for months, so if they broke up I would probably delete all of my social media and just live an isolated life.

5.    Why is 1 so important?

Because it would be the straightest gay relationship ever, and it would be so pure. It would go something like “Hey bro, no homo but your eyes are really sparkling today.” “dude we’ve been dating for three months now”. Also they are very good boys, that’s why it is so important.

6.    Is 9 a funny ship or a serious ship?

Their relationship would probably be serious, but as for how I feel about them I am not a serious shipper of the two, if that makes sense? I appreciate the fan art but for the love of god if you are serious about this ship in the Voltron fandom some SJW will sweep down and tell you that you're being a pedophile and should burn in hell.

7.    Out of all of your ships listed, which ship has the most chemistry?

Probably,  Sole Survivor/Hancock because for there to be a relationship there literally has to be chemistry (Chems). All jokes aside probably also  Josuke/Okuyasu and  Yuri /Victor, because they just push each other to be better people :’)

8.    Out of all of the ships, which ship has the strongest bond? 

(spoiler)

My brain wants me to say Yuri/Victor but my heart wants me to say Joseph/Caesar and Vash/Wolfwood BECAUSE THEY’RE BEST BUDS THAT KINDA HATED EACH OTHER AT FIRST BUT THEN THEY FOUGHT A BUNCH OF BAD GUYS TOGETHER AND ONE OF THEM DIES.

9.    How many times have you read/watched 10’s fandom?

Lmao I’ve watched all of the current anime twice and I’m reading through the manga right now, I’m almost done with part 5. (Including rereading part 5 again with a friend)

10.  Which ship has lasted the longest?

lol I guess the only one that's canon, Yuri/Victor

11.  How many times, if ever, has 6 broken up?

Well they got to get together first (I’m looking at you marvel)

12.  If the world was suddenly thrust into a zombie apocalypse, which ship would make it out alive, 2 or 8?

Um, 8? They already live in the apocalypse. But omg I would love to see Jotaro and Kak murder some fucking zombies

13.  Did 7 ever have to hide their relationship for any reason?

(if they ever did get together) I could see them hiding it

14.  Is 4 still together?

:’) No, because even if they were together one of them be dead :’)

15.  Is 10 canon?

Well they do have a son together, and they ARE together if you know what I mean ;)

16.  If all ten ships were put into a couple’s Hunger Games, which couple would win?

THIS IS A HARD ONE. I feel like it would narrow down to the JJBA ships but at the same time Stand user vs Gun? Who would really win? For the sake of making this easy I'm going to narrow it down to just the JJBA ships (1,2,3,10) and rule them out from there. If we’re talking young Joseph and Caesar vs everyone else then, while Joseph did kill a god, I feel like they would lose bc Caesars power is fucking bubbles and they don’t have stands so:/ Then I feel like the next to die off would be Dio and Johnathan because 1) Dio is a vampire and if it is day time then boom, he dies. 2)While Johnathan is a Big Boy ™ and very strong, I don’t think he can kill a stand user with just hamon. Now were down to Jotaro/Kakyion and Josuke/Okuyasu. JotaKak is much smarter and much more cunning, but I am assuming this is part 3, Jotaro cannot stop time and the best Kak can do is 20 meter Emerald splash.  But right away Josuke can heal and has almost the same strength as Jotaro, and for Okuyasu while he is stupid his stand is overpowered. So I would have to say Josuke/Okuyasu, sorry I  had to make this question difficult. 

17.  Has anybody ever tried to sabotage 5’s ship?

There could be an argument to be made here that people have, but I’m just gonna say no (unless you want to count the gold medal)

18.  Which ship would you defend to the death and beyond?

I want to say Victor and Yuri but they have enough people defending them so I’m gonna say VashWoods because it is in my top 3 favorite ships

19.  Do you spend hours a day going through 3’s tumblr page?

I probably have lol (Joseph/Caesar)

20.  If an evil witch descended from the sky and told you that you had to pick one of the ten ships to break up forever or else she’d break them all up forever, which ship would you sink?

Keith/Shiro because I already got Keith in another ship
