I think Alina is a good example of someone who complains about how hard life is without trying to do anything to change things. It makes so much sense for someone like Alina to be open to rebellion considering how Ravka’s treated its people especially Grisha yet we get someone who doesn’t really care about anyone other than M*l and it can be argued it’s due to her being an orphan who’s clinging to the only person who she sees as home but if you’re going to start that way with a character there needs to be proper development. Instead she ends up where she begins only richer(so book!Mal can cry me a river about how he can’t offer her anything because he’s just a soldier).So it’s better to be stripped from your identity,go nd l to a place you hated but still be rich fue to your powerful friends instead of keeping your powers and becoming a badass queen/leader to your people? Ookaaaay B*rdugo.🙄

(Book Spoilers)

Yeah I feel like there were alot of problems with Alina's character and development in the books. But then there were alot of problems with most of the characters in the books. In regards to Alina as you said she had a lot of potential to be this rebellion leader that leads the grisha into a new age where they can live in safety and peace. But instead she just seems to whine her way through the trilogy and be all upset because she loves M*l so much but can't be with him because she has responsibilities as the Sun Summoner. I think the problem is its very difficult to have sympathy for Alina's situation when its compared to the grisha's who are being killed, tortured and experimented on. It's like yup I am real sorry you and your crush are having issues Alina but the grisha are sort of dying over here, can we do something about that? A comparison from another book series could be Katniss from Hunger games (hunger game spoilers incoming). When Peeta is taken by the capitol this effects Katniss deeply but the difference between her and Alina is that she still continues to lead the rebellion and fight for her people, she doesn't let her personal life get in the way of the mission to raise her people out of oppression. She puts her people first. Whereas with Alina it very much felt like she abandons her people for M*l.

Also you made a good point about how she clings to M*l because he is her home and is safe and familiar and that would have been fine as a starting place but that she really should have developed from there. We should have seen her grow but instead she ends up back at the orphanage that she hated and is now powerless. Also as you said she is given money from her powerful friends and alot of the success she gets post trilogy is from those friends, its all just given to her but it doesn't feel earned because meanwhile her people are still suffering. But I guess that's not her problem because she's not grisha anymore right? Also I will forever be angry about her losing her powers because it felt like it was saying the best way to beat oppression is to just not be a part of a minority anymore. There problem solved. There is that part LB added where Alina is given a Kefta with a note saying 'You'll always be one of us' and I was just like nice sentiment there but its not true is it because her losing her powers means she doesn't face the same persecution that the grisha does, it means she doesn't have to fear being killed or tortured by neighbouring countries, it means she gets benefits the grisha don't like being able to own property like the orphanage. The ending just seemed like a really convenient way for LB to make sure Alina ended up with M*l. But for me personally I never really cared a whole lot about M*lina's story I cared more about the grisha so they ending just left me very disappointed and bitter.

Mobile Master Post

Here’s all the general info you’ll need for this blog in a post for easy reading on mobile, a mirror of my information page save for the FAQ, Tags, and Connections sections.

Rules & Guidelines

General Rules

This is a side blog. All follows/likes/asks will come from Ash-mun. I prefer to have all of my RP blogs on one blog separate from my main account for organization purposes.

The usual: Read rules, avoid godmoding and metagaming. We're human, mistakes happen and things are forgotten but please do keep these things in mind and keep reading!

Respect the line between IC and OOC. If you can't understand that the actions and thoughts of a muse are separate from the reality of who the mun is or what they believe? Please don't interact with me.

This blog is semi-selective. That means I'm selective with who I follow, but welcome all in my ask box unless otherwise tagged on a post. I am open to giving anyone a chance to RP. I'll give you a heads up if I don't think we'll mesh.

OC, Multi-ship, Multi-fandom friendly. I'm here for the interaction and seeing what sort of stories our muses can create.

I do not ERP. I am 300% okay with discussing sexual headcanons, having my muse engage in sexual situations behind the scenes, writing sexual drabbles, or such but I will not smut with other RPers.

Mun and muse are over 21+ I'm okay with interacting with muns who are under 18, but I refuse to do anything bordering on the sexual with an underage mun/muse.

No formatting required for me, as long as I can read it? We're good.

I'm up for any sort of RP length, but I'm prone to lengthier posts as a whole. No, you don't need to match my posts. I'm here for quality, not quantity.

If it's been over a week and you haven't seen a response to a thread? Please remind me of it! I try to keep track of all my threads, but sometimes things get lost in the shuffle.

I am not a meme source. Please don't use me as a source of RP memes, it's a pet peeve of mine.

Tag request: NSFW Please tag your NSFW posts as simply NSFW. I often browse in public and Tumblr's default tag system is how I block this content.

I unfollow for the following reasons, if you're curious as to why it might happen: Untagged smut, not trimming threads, untagged OOC spam, blogs who give no indication of wanting to actively engage, using me only as a source of RP memes (This'll most likely get a soft block).

I'm not on here every day and reply in batches. I'm prone to do most of my writing in chunks when work is calmer, thus I queue my responses so the dash isn't spammed.I have a job that drains my energy, so more often than not when I'm home? I'm zoning out with games/tv/art over writing anything. I have to reiterate that work is mentally draining along with all my fun chronic issues, so there will be chunks of time where I simply can't muster the energy for writing. If you're looking for someone lurking here constantly with rapid fire responses? It isn't me.

Non-RP related but, if you promote transphobia, homophobia, sexism, racism, or anything harmful that falls under general discrimination laws? Fuck off. Problematic characters and baddies are fine and dandy as long as you're not celebrating any of the above through your character.

VLD Specific Rules

No shipping with underage muses, I'm not comfortable shipping a legal adult with a child.

Please tag your ships. There are some VLD ships I'm not into, and I suspect the same is true of others. Tag those ships with the universal ship tags and I'll do likewise!

Yes, non-RP blogs can follow.

Yes, my headcanons and artwork can be reblogged.

I'm not interested in fandom drama. I don't care about the shipping feuds, petty RP squabbles or any such thing. I'm here to write, thank you.

Voltron: Legendary Defenders Season 6 spoilers will be on this blog. I'm slow to watch new episodes when they drop, so no one following the series will be spoiled but- If you haven't watched anything yet? This blog will spoil content!

Overview

An assumed orphan raised within the Galra Empire as one of Haggar's Druids, Osera has lived a life in obscurity behind a mask and robes knowing nothing about her true parentage and past and nothing beyond glory for the Galra Empire.

Personality

Positives/Virtues/Skills: Loyal, soft spoken, hard to anger, driven to serve the Empire, solitary and finds no issue with isolation, studious,inquisitive

Flaws/Weaknesses: Black and white morality, neuroticism and easily overwhelmed by outside stimuli, indecisive without an authority figure

Likes: Quiet spaces, cavernous ships and settlements, secret Space Mall visits, exotic and/or spicy foods

Dislikes: Overtly loud places due to her sensitive ears, unease in natural places due to a lack of time in them, the bland food she gets on ship

Dreams/Ambitions: Furthering her training to the point of mastering her Druid powers, discovering the identity of her parents.

Fears: The current state of the Galra Empire and what is to become of it. Osera doesn't know who to trust or what faction to turn to as being a Druid puts her in the cross-hairs of many. A general unease in the wilderness as Osera has next to no survival skills planet side as she’s never needed them. Osera has never been in a body of water larger than a tub, thus even the concept of an ocean scares her. She doesn’t exactly know how to.

History

Childhood/Family Life: Osera has only memories of foster parents within the Galra Empire, raising her for a brief time before she was transferred off for training as a Druid due to her magic potential.

Education: Osera has been training under the Galra Empire as a Druid to serve under Zarcon for almost as long as she can remember along with typical education for a Galran youth. Life to Osera has been a constant drive for self improvement to serve the Galra Empire better. Being a reserved child that carried over to her teenage years, Osera has kept her head down with little to speak of as far as incidents of note go. Her late teen years saw a ramping up in more combat oriented training typical for Galra soldiers, but it was a place Osera faltered as she leans heavily on her Druid abilities. Still, such training did eventually gain her a promotion from a stint on a Space Hub converting quintessence to one serving on Lord Zarkon’s ship itself.

Combat Prowess

Weapon of Choice: Osera has some training with a simple dagger, but nothing to really speak of as it seems to be more a ceremonial accessory as oppose to a true weapon.

Physical/Magical Strengths: Her true strength is with her Druid abilities with not much to speak of with general hand to hand combat beyond that of an average person.

Physical/Magical Weaknesses: Osera isn't exactly the physically strongest creature about, nor is she well versed in true physical combat. Constant use of her magic abilities drains Osera unless she has a quintessence source at hand.

Verses & AUs

Season Specific Verses: These tags are specific for plots either happening during the actions of that particular season or right after with the intent of staying in line with canon. For the majority of the seasons, Osera is living on Lord Zarkon's flag ship in service to Haggar. She keeps up with Druidic studies along with interrogating prisoners and aiding in quintessence conversion. Once Zarkon passes, Osera follows tradition and serves under the one who won the Kral-Zera. Once Lotor goes missing, her fate is up in the air at the start of S7.

No Sanctuary - Fugitive Verse: At the death of Lord Zarkon by his own son, the Galra Empire is in upheval with a Kral Zera on the horizon to determine the new leader of the Galra. During this time, Haggar's Druids are left to their own devices but since the collective was never truly a part of the Empire and all are considered the Witches' minions? They are slaughtered wholesale as creatures never to be trusted.Osera manages to escape during this chaos and finds herself adrift in a galaxy she knows little about. She's left any Druid guise far behind and seeks to blend in as nothing of interest to anyone, hoping to avoid the Galra's faction scuffle.

His Faithful Follower - Lotor’s Empire Verse : Once Price Lotor wins the Kral-Zera and cements his claim as the rightful ruler of the Galra Empire. A new era begins where Lotor wishes to usher in peace for the entire universe with the help of Voltron and its Paladins. Sendak may be trying to sow mutiny and win Galra to his side, but with Lotor Osera has found a safe haven as a half-breed. She is uncertain of what the future will bring, but believes in Lotor's plan to unite the universe.

A Sharpened Blade - Blade of Marmora Verse : Lord Zarkon's death at the hands of his own son was enough to shake Osera out of her complacent life as a Druid. She no longer can blindly follow orders at the bidding of Haggar and finds no welcoming place within the evolving Empire for a Druid such as herself. The unrest that followed Lord Zarkon's death revealed the true state of the universe and Osera can no longer sit idly by while everything breaks apart. She first ventured out on her own before gaining a lead to the Blades of Marmora and after proving herself, she's taking up training as one.

A Softer Purple - No War AU : The tragedy of Honerva's poisoning and resulting death never comes to pass. The brilliant Altean alchemist harnesses and contains the ever growing space rift on the Galra's home planet, along with taming quintessence. Voltron continues to be a force for good within the universe, spreading the Altean message of good faith far and wide as various species venture further in space.The Garrison is now a place where students from many planets of origin study and brush up on space travel. Osera is a student enlisted there, having grown up on Earth all her life with her parents.

Courtly Vices - Royalty AU : Set in a fantasy realm, the Galra Empire, Druid Collective, and Voltron Paladins are their own respective factions trying to mediate peace. Formerly, the Druid Collective was a close ally with the Galra Empire but the antics of Prince Lotor has brought unrest between the factions. To obtain a better foothold and stabilize their power, the Druid Collective has bartered one of their own Druids off as a bride to the Yellow Paladin. Osera finds herself wed to a stranger and none too happy about it.

3, 15, 17, 18 & 19!

3. rant. just do it.

Well what about? There are so many things i want to rant about. Like how my parents are expecting everything from me, making me full with stress to the point that i get vertigos and they just ignore it. Or how someone yesterday said that i posted spoilers about ‘’Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’’ when the only ‘’spoilery’ thing i commented was about the duration of Meryl Streep’s appeareance and the plot holes of the script and they said that by reblogging the post so i guess… they spread the oh so big spoiler that anyone who has seen the trailers for the movie could have guessed anyway without having to actually watch the movie. Or i should rant about the fact that no matter how hard i try i can’t even lose a kilogram. Like seriously body what the fuck? Also when BC and LB will make that damned ‘’My Dear Bessie’’ movie? What about my mom that refuses to just do a few things very important for her health and well being so she can walk again like a normal person, but she preffers to die instead of doing a surgery about it? Ugh… Yeah as you can see i can rant about lots of things, not all of them important.

15. what’s a question do you constantly get asked?

What do we have to eat?, What? ( when i tell them how old i am ), Can you rub my feet?, Can you go to the doctor to write me a medicine description?. Soooo… not a lot of people asks me about if i’m feeling good/bad/well/sick/tired. I wonder why that is.

17. google the top song from the year you were born

I googled it and i found lots of songs from 1987 that were top that year. So i’m gonna make a list with the songs i am familiar with that are from 1987.

Starship - Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now

Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes - ( I’ve Had ) The Time Of My Life

Michael Jackson - Bad

Belinda Carlisle - Heaven Is A Place On Earth

So that’s them. I practically grow up with ‘’Bad’’ and ‘’( I’ve Had ) The Time Of My Life’’ written in my DNA.

Another song that is literally written in my DNA and it’s from the ‘80s but was actually released in 1986 is the following…

Europe - The Final Countdown

The GNBT won the European Baskettball Championship two months after i was born and this song was the hymn of those games so yeah… literally written in my DNA.

18. rant about your favorite musician

Musician like… composer or singer right? Well i have plenty of both of those, but most of them are Greek, so i’ll save you the trouble. ;)

19. what’s your favorite teacher you’ve ever had?

Oh there are some. Two amazing women teaching us Ancient Greek and History and literature ( different years though, one of them replaced the other ), an amazing guy teaching us physics always firm and strict but never mean or cruel in fact he had a great sense of humor too ( probably the most favorite teacher of my entire class, we had send him as a gift the picture of Holy Mary that we had in our classroom when we learned before the finals began that he wouldn’t be with us because he had a very important surgery to do ), and a teacher in third of fourth grade that we didn’t get to know him better because he commited suicide. The parents on the parenting board came to our class the last day before Christmas vacations and they told us that our teacher had buy us Christmas gifts before he died and they shared them to us. My memories of him are always very fond and sweet.

Thank you for all the questions hunnie! *sends hugs and kisses*
