i’m trying to come up with a witty caption for this but frankly all i can come up with is “sasha and martin should talk more”

(next post)

#tma #the magnus archives #sasha james #martin blackwood #comic #comics #my art #mango's art #art #i forgot what tag people use for the s1 archival crew #was it literally just those words #GOD i hope so #anyways i am realizing that sasha is also very high up on my favorite characters list #idr who i said was my favorite alongside martin. it MIGHT'VE been sasha. the irony of that being true...................... #i have the rest of the textpost comick'ed out and i've posted the thumbnail of it a few days ago! #but i will prolly make another posty post of the second part when i finish it. and i'll link the two back #i don't remember what yeets shit from tumblr's search anymore the landscape just changes too much #but i do genuinely think sasha would eat beans in bed adn i support her #i would not emulate her. but i support her #arranging the speech bubbles was VERY fun. typically i'd handwrite it but i've been trying to type them out more #it's a lot faster once you let yourself adjust to the change :) #long post #shitpost

Voltron Ask Game

I totally forgot I got tagged for this by like...everyone. Let’s do it! How did you discover the show? I’d been working on a big art project for an RP group but I was starting to burn out, and I ran out of fic in my then-current fandom to use as a carrot on a stick. ”So watch something,” I told myself. ”Yeah, but what?” I asked myself. ”How about that Voltron thing all over tumblr?” I suggested to myself. ”What, the thing about the robots?” I asked myself, wrinkling my nose in distaste. ”Yeah but you’ve seen some clips from the show and they were funny,” I argued with myself. ”Well. Okay. It’s only got a few eps and it’s something to do. Not like it has to be important,” I finally agreed with myself. BOY that worked out funny, I was hooked after that. Lurked in the fandom for a month and then finally started writing. Was it love at first sight or did it take you a while to get into the show? I was intrigued by the first ep and the 2nd and 3rd were okay. By S1E4 there was a cliffhanger and I felt compelled to move on to 5 to finish. By that point the found family had been pretty well established and I was hooked. Do you have a favorite episode? Not really, no. If it’s Shiro-centric I tend to enjoy it more but I don’t have any episodes that stand out as a ‘favorite.’

Do you have a favorite Paladin? Shiro! I bet you didn’t see that coming. Do you have a favorite Lion? (If it’s different from your fave Paladin, why?) Again, not really. I think they all do interesting or cool things and have interesting designs, but none of them stand out to me as a ‘favorite.’ Though if I had to pick one I matched with personality-wise it’d probably be green (or, I’m told by others, possibly black). Do you have a favorite villain? Haggar is a really fun villain because she has so much potential (and we still haven’t seen druidism explored fully in the show). I also really liked Sendak back in S1 because he was a terrifying villain archetype that was physically strong but also SMART, and he nearly curbstomped the paladins twice early in the series. You don’t usually see that kind of power that early on. I’m definitely curious what he’ll be doing in later seasons. Do you have a favorite Alien Race (Recurring and/or minor) Whatever the hell Slav is. I think fandom has established ‘bytor’ but that’s still not official. They just look cool, those weird owl-centipede-ferret people. Favorite side/other character(s) - Rebels, Generals, Blade of Marmora, Garrison, etc? SLAAAAAAAAV. When will he ever come back? I miss him! Ryner’s pretty cool, too. And I always liked Nyma, Rolo and Beezer...happy to see they ended up being good guys. How/Why did you join the fandom? I kind of lurked in the fandom for a while in September when only the 1st season was out, slowly digging through the fic archives on both AO3 and FF.net. There was a depressing lack of decent platonic fic though, so I burned through that stuff pretty quickly. There was also 1 specific kind of fic I’d been hoping to see, on Shiro dealing with the difficulties of having a mechanical arm. There were lots of Galra prosthetic drama fics, but by and large all of them were of the ‘mind control’ or ‘angst over having an arm removed’ variety, and while those were certainly fun and interesting, it wasn’t what I wanted. So I eventually wrote it myself and Routine Maintenance was born. I still wasn’t sure I’d stick around the fandom after that, but RM’s reception was so good it seemed worth it, and I just kind of never went away. Care to share your favorite headcanon? I don’t care what S6 says, you can pry ‘Kuron earns redemption and joins the crew’ from my cold, dead fingers What do you think is the best part of the show? It’s a great show for found family and a great show for platonic interaction, which there’s depressingly little of in media. Character makes or breaks a show and these ones have some great development and interesting interaction that I love. There’s a lot of room to play with interaction and development for fic too, though, which I appreciate. Any hopes and wishes for future episodes/seasons? Can Kuron pretty please get some redemption and some respect. Poor bastard got burned so bad with the S6 finale. He just wanted to be a paladin! :( Also, MORE SLAV PLZ. Do you think you’ll stick it out until the end of the show? Sure, I’ll watch it to the end. If final seasons get particularly ship-heavy I may not bother with writing anymore, but unless they do something monumentally rage-quit inducing, I’d probably watch it through. Anyone can feel free to play since I’m pretty sure everyone I would have tagged has already been tagged lol
