sooo i got these very cool questions on anon but im replying on here to make it look neater and to separate them properly, also because they’re gonna get long,,

What's your favorite scene from Voltron? there are a lot of super cute and aesthetically pleasing shots, but im horrible at remembering specific scenes and the first thing that comes to mind right now is the one where lance is about to be shot into space because the Caste is “haunted” and keith saves him riiiight in time. It was thrilling and i screamed a little, i think. Oh, and i like the one where Lance is literally knocked out cold and wakes up for the two seconds needed to shoot the bad guy because big mood and i love him?? I also really like every scene of them training because i dream about having a wing of my house dedicated to fighting with cool murderous robots too. let me dream. In general, the Castle is my fave setting for anything.

Why did you start watching it? my tumblr dash started screaming about it approximately two days after the first season came out and i got curious about the mecha setting ((after evangelion if a thing has really big robots im automatically sold)). i made a quick google search and binge watched it all in a night and long story short now i’m here, ta da! i stayed for the giant cats tbh (and because it’s light hearted fun and i like space)

about the ships: i realized that i’m actually pretty simple minded about it, and that the only one i really care about is lance and happiness. sooo,, there’s that. i rest my case. but klance is the love of my life and hance is cute and keith and mothman are a match made in heaven

Favorite character? AHHH well i guess it’s no secret that my absolute favorite is lance. I just find him really interesting, both because of his flaws and the glimpses of his deepest feelings we’ve seen; he has a really outlandish/goofy sense of humor, which appeals to me greatly, and he’s stubborn and outgoing but in a kind of “fake it till you make it” way and that’s exactly what i need in my life. also, because liking the “i joke about things to feel better about shit and i’m really sarcastic and brash but have an actual crisis going on 24/7” character has kinda been my thing since forever. I’m really excited about seeing how he’s gonna grow up and evolve during the series, i think he has a lot of potential. the same can be said about every other character too, honestly. I guess my favorite part about anything is seeing the character development unfold, and this goes for other shows and fics and books as well. I have the annoying habit of taking characters and wanting to dissect them (figuratively, cough) to see what makes them tick, overthinking way too much about little things and quirks they might have. A well thought out plot isn’t enough to engage me if there aren’t complex characters to sustain it, i’m picky.

Galra Keith or Altean Lance? why must you hurt me so?? i don’t think there’s a real reply to this. well, i mean, galra keith is a little bit canon, but i would be lying if i said that him in purple and with giant fluffy ears wouldn’t appeal to me, for aesthetical reasons,, i guess I’m gonna have to go with altean!Lance? because in that particular au he’s royalty, which suits him (im not smitten, what are you saying) and... no, that’s totally just because i’m smitten. My son looks so good in the altean garments, what can I do. It’s also a very cool take on the whole “everyone is an alien someway but they still meet each other and form a great team because of destiny” thing

Who do you think would take the first step in Keith and Lance's romantic relationship? I would love to think about their romance as them taking small steps towards each other equally to meet in the middle? In a very slow burn way, classic “enemies (in lance’s head) to friends to lovers” trope that you can pry from my cold dead hands. I think they’re both very cautious when it comes to love, for different reasons. Keith is closed off, a little wary about human contact, even if we see him gradually warming up to the team, but he’s also a driven character and seems to me his focus right now is on saving the universe. Which is good, but it’s already a lot on his plate, without adding the whole “half galra” thing which further complicates the situation. Lance is exactly the opposite, he barrels on through human (and alien) interactions and flirts shamelessly, but I think that’s more of an ingrained reflex than real pursuit of a romantic relationship? From little clues, we can guess that he knows his flirting is almost never taken seriously (and just how sad is that wtf lance, baby) and that’s why he does it, because he knows nothing is really going to come from it. The only way I see them going is at a relaxed, almost frustrating pace in which they discover themselves first and then each other, as teammates, then friends and finally lovers.

In the more immediate sense of the reply I think you were asking, it could go both way: once they’ve done their share of self-discovery, Lance may accidentally blurt out something about how he thinks Keith is good at something (his compliments are not often based on physical appearance as much as they are on practical things/personality traits which is very sweet and awesome) and then his babbling escalates in way over the top justifications until he actually confesses the deepest, fluttery feelings he’s hiding in his chest; or maybe it’s Keith to take the first leap of faith, kissing Lance square on the mouth (maybe after a particularly taxing mission where Lance does a stupid heroic thing like trying to sacrifice himself // I’m a fan of clichés and that’s romantic af besides being something that Lance would totally do) because he’s not much of a talker and he’s tired about circling around it. Mark down my words, there’s lots of super cheesy ways it could be done, and I love them all. These two are just the first that came to mind.

Favorite lion (overall shape+colour)? My favorite color is red and I like the smaller lions merely because of practical/aesthetic reasons; besides, the way Red leaps right into action to protect her baby (Keith) is adorable and,,,, my fav is still Blue. I don’t know what to say, it doesn’t make sense, it’s what my heart is telling me. But Red is a close second, let’s call it a tie so i feel less bad about it.

Favourite Coran life stage? teenage emo/you don’t get my feelings you don’t know my life and everything I’ve been through!Coran is my entire life

Favourite planet they've been so far? the Balmera, that’s a really wholesome sentient planet, if i do say so myself. I love it.

Favourite episode out of all seasons? again, i’m calling a tie between the “bonding moment” one for obvious, lame reasons and the space mall because Lance is a dolphin and they literally found a cow and fueled a lot of my headcanons where they can totally buy weird things needed for shameless fanfiction-y purposes

Haggar or Zarkon? Zarkon is a grimy, wrinkly turtle and I really want to get his backstory but Haggar is a pot of unraveled mysteries and she’s way cooler in my opinion

Is Shiro a dad or a big brother? Shiro tries so hard to be a big brother (even if he likes making dad jokes) but he’s just mostly done with everything and overall bad at adulting,, just give him a piña colada, a raunchy romantic novel, put him on a beach lounger with sunglasses and let him rest

Princess Allura or Paladin Allura? both are good. She’s a fundamental asset to the team either way, by backing them up during the battles, piloting the Castle and being their support system (helped by Coran) with stuff they don’t understand - which is a lot because they’re basically going blind into the whole thing. Paladin Allura is something that I love, and she will absolutely kick ass, but I reserve my judgement for when I see what the team is gonna make of it. It surely is gonna change the dynamic a lot and depending on what role she assumes it could be good or absolutely amazing. I’m just really curious about how they’re gonna go about it. But yeah, both are cool. I’ll get you back on what is my fave once I've seen both the options in action.

ooook,, whew, im done. AHH this surely was something. Thank you for asking??? They were super interesting questions, sorry it took me a little while but I tried to reply to the best of my possibilities and hope that you got the answers you were looking for. ♥

#bibabbles #replies #anonymous #i totally didn't quote victuuri in the romantic part of the questions i swear #except i did #as i said this got really long and im sorry #but it was still fun #have a nice day!!!!!!!!!!!#thank you really #im lame

World of Winx S2: Onyrix

I’ll admit, at first glance, I wasn’t that impressed with Onyrix. Half because I wasn’t entirely sure what to feel about their disco-esque outfits, and half because their transformation sequence was not as … “transformative” as I expected/wanted. Even now, I still prefer Dreamix overall than Onyrix.

Also, Dreamix is one of the best transformation names in the whole Winx universe. Wherein Onyrix… while not that terrible and cheesy as say Butterflix or Tynix, I’m pretttttty sure that a lot of people, including myself, didn’t understand the meaning of its name until a generous soul gave the answer we were looking for.

BUT I will say that in terms of design, it has begun to grow on me, to the point that I would rank it as part of my Top 5 favorite Winx Fairy Form designs.

Since I am not too familiar with their powers, I haven’t completed S2 yet, I will only discuss my opinions about the Onyrix designs and Transformation video below.

Let’s start with the DESIGNS.

While I would’ve preferred that the Winx only had one fairy form for this series, or at least in this story arc about Neverland, World of Winx’s fairy forms so far did not disappoint me as much as I expected.

In fact, Dreamix and Onyrix have climbed up to my Top 5 favorite Winx forms, with Dreamix only behind Enchantix and Bloomix, and Onyrix tied with Harmonix for 4th place.

I think what impressed me the most for Onyrix were their hairstyles. This batch of intricate, braided locks is probably my most favorite among all the fairy forms, thanks to the fact that EVERYONE without exception looked spectacular with what was done to their hair.

Meaning, nobody had any awkward hairstyles ala Stella’s Bloomix or Musa’s Mythix for example.

I mean, just look at how much thought was put on Tecna’s short hair! Hers, Bloom’s, and Aisha’s are probably my fave ones.

Now for the outfits, the wide slit disco pants are admittedly a little awkward at first glance. But as I began watching WOW, I absolutely LOVED how they’re spread across the dance floor during their transformation sequence, and gently flew with the wind when they’re flying around, making them look like funky mermaids floating in the air.

Anything mermaid-like is a plus for me.

Their accessories are actually quite on trend with the current world, since big statement earrings and necklaces are making waves in the real world again. The bejewelled floral belts might be leaning more on tacky than stylish, but I didn’t mind them as much.

I just wished that their accessories reflected more on their individual powers instead of all flowers.

Usually I’d find these ice skating-ish mesh panels on their disco jumpers quite tacky. But for some reason, I actually quite love it. They add some pizzazz to their jumpers, and I like how they used their shapes and placements to make their outfits more unique from each other.

Also, it’s refreshing to see the Winx in fairy forms that are not in their usual color palette, namely Stella, Aisha, and Bloom.

Stella actually looks like the Fairy of the Moon here, which I LOVE. She IS originally the Fairy of the Sun and Moon, not just the shining sun. Which I suppose would make sense here since Onyrix is a higher form of Dreamix, and dreams usually occur when we’re asleep at nighttime. And we all know that it’s the Moon that dominates the night sky.

Now for the wings, I can’t say that I love LOVE them. They’re not that memorable, and I can’t help but compare them to Dreamix since both their wing styles seem more on the artistic side.

Instead of the stained glass style of Dreamix, Onyrix wings lean more on a techno-watercolour style, which I thought was pretty creative and unique. They mixed technology and art, two quite opposite genres, into one. And it worked quite well.

Despite that, I can’t really put them on my top list of memorable wings. But I still appreciate their creativity. Would’ve been nicer if they had bigger wing designs to give a more ethereal feel, but that’s probably just my preference.

For the shoes, I would’ve preferred to see them in modern laced up sandals, like their Butterflix shoes. But these simple pumps work pretty well with their rather loud outfits.

With that said, my personal scoring for their Onyrix designs is an 8/10.

Now for the Tranformation Sequence.

Bear with me, I do not love it. It takes a while to get into, and the one thing that pisses me off the most with these newer Winx transformations is the lack of actual transforming.

Just when I thought Butterflix was the least detailed in terms of transitioning into their fairy forms, Onyrix now takes that cake.

Only the K-Pop dancing is replaced with modelling and arm-waving.

Despite that, it’s actually not as terrible as say Butterflix or Sirenix. But it is not something I’d rank higher than Dreamix, though the style is similar with that and Tynix.

As a fashion MV, I think it looks great. But as a transformation sequence? Not so.

I mean, what is the point of calling it a transformation if none of the girls are shown to be actually transforming???

The only transitioning that took place in their transformation are their wings. And I actually quite like how they appeared through lasers and blinking lights, especially during Flora’s part.

And while they all had that same group pose syndrome ever since Butterflix, I appreciated how they first showed all the girls’ full looks individually before putting them in the group shot.

And I’m glad that Bloom wasn’t focused as much as before, although Tecna still lacked exposure. Instead, it seems to me as if Musa, Flora, and Stella had the most exposure in the transformation MV, which I don’t mind at all since they’re my three favorite Winx girls.

Overall, a 4.5/10 for me as a transformation MV. But as a Fashion MV, probably a 7/10, if only for the awkward arm-waving.

And that’s it from me at the moment. Gotta say though, some of the villains here on S2 are actually quite creepy (Hello Vertigo and Banshee!), which I think is great. Winx VS their darker sides? Am all for it!

Most badasses, like the strongest of who you think and like.

I’ll stick to the characters that I like because the strongest is not really up for discussion with characters like Zeno, the grand priest and the angels.

The most badasses and the strongest in their arcs, not in the entire series because that woudl be unfair with Goku and Jiren being so OP.

Anyway. let’s start with my top 5 badasses!

1. Frieza My God, where to begin with Frieza. When I was a kid, my English wasn’t the greatest but each sunday morning I’d watch dbz with my dad and brother, the Frieza arc was such a blast and Frieza unlike villains like piccolo, vegeta and buu never turned good and was that super evil asshole. Something I always love in bad guys. The nummerous transformations that had me curious for the next, the many strong warriors working underneath him, the temper. It was all so amazing, a great badass villain in my opinion and the best in the franchise and my all time fave. First through final form, mecha and golden. Love em all.

2. Goku, who doesn’t love Goku? I agree, he has the most random power ups but he is just an amazing fun character. He’s strong and determind. There are flaws to him, many flaws as a person and I like that about him. He is a shitty father in a sense but he is also the reason that his family is living a peaceful life over and over again, even if he can’t be part of it sometimes. His UI form was really cool, probably his fave look other then regular SSJ.

3. Cell. Freaking Cell, seeing him first time around was like a freaking horror movie. The tail, the mouth, the shape of the head and the wings. Not good for a child, not good at all xD The thing with Cell was, he felt like a character that was thought out so well. The way he got his powers, the way he had to get stronger and transform, the confidence with his tournament. Unlike Frieza, I did miss the adventure vibe from his saga. It all felt really compact, not a bad thing but Frieza saga reminded me a lot of DB.

4. Toppo. I think that I’m one of the few people who liked people and thought he was done really dirty. People complain about Goku random powers ups, Vegeta, he had the most random one ever and overshadowed Toppo. I was so excited with Toppo being a candidate for being god of destruction, his form was next level compaired to how the normal gods look. The way he smacked Frieza around was both satisfying and painful due to my love for Frieza. I really wished we had gotten more from Toppo in his destruction form.

5. Android 17 was by far the best thing about the tournament of power. In Dragon Ball Z and GT I wasn’t all that into his character but they way they brought him back and used him in Super was amazing. Was his comeback an ass pull? A little, yes, I can agree with that but that doesn’t take away how amazing he has been throughout it all.
