Allura, looking at James and Keith who are giving the other the silent treatment after their sixteenth argument since arriving at the Castle: So why is it that those two don't like each other?
Rizavi: Well, one, they're both hypercompetitive-
Allura: Yes, I've noticed that.
Rizavi: -and two, I'm pretty sure they knew each other even before they got to the Garrison? James was like the teacher's pet or something, and Keith was like. the opposite of the teacher's pet. Do you people even have a concept of a teacher's pet?
Allura: No, but I do think I understand the idea regardless.
Rizavi: Okay. Cool. Anyways, considering they were actively getting into fistfights before they came to the Garrison, I'd say their relationship has actually improved a lot!
Allura, squinting at James and Keith: Wait... this is the improved version?
Rizavi: Yep! Doing great, aren't they?
Allura: (suddenly keenly filled with doubts about the success of their mission)

I know this is pro-ship/all-ship, but what ships do you absolutely adore and which ones do you despise?
I'm asking for science btw :3
Ah - the Ship Question™! Very well; we're happy to give our personal opinions on the ships; we'll rate some of the bigger ones below on a scale of 1 to 10. Please remember these are our own personal opinions! ❤❤❤
Here we go!
Voltron - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
We gave Voltron a 5 out of 10 - one for each lion. It's a novel concept, and it's an iconic design. The blue glows are a nice touch, but overall it's a bit average compared to some other big ships.
Zarkon's Fleet/War Ship - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
We thought this fleet, specifically the command ship, deserved a 8/10. The purple glow is very Galran and the colors coordinate nicely. It remains sleek while still being a large ship.
MFE Fighter - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
We gave the MFE fighter ships a 6 out of 10. It's fine. It's a classic, earth-class fighter ship. ..Nothing wrong with it. It's just. ...Just fine. No wow factor. Nothing against it. Just. Fine.
Altean Castle of Lions - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
The Altean Castleship gets a solid 10/10. It is both a castle, and a ship, and executes both functions on command and with ease, also while being exceptionally old.
Galra Central Command - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
7/10. Galra Central Command is extremely intimidating and large. Due to its nature as the central hub of activity, it's complex in its functionality.
IGF Atlas - Carrier Form 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
IGF Atlas in its standard flight mode, which we've called 'carrier mode' as opposed to its transformed state, is a pretty robust ship, and comes in with a 8/10. It matches with the MFE color scheme and is clearly delineated as a command ship. It also vaguely mirrors the Galra command ship, but is long instead of wide, allowing for use in Earth atmosphere.
Zaiforge Cannon - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
8/10 for the brutal Galran assault weapon - and only 'loosely' categorized as a ship. It is a vessel that goes into space and is piloted, so we decided to include it. Extra points for the cannon part.
IGF Atlas - Gundam Fighter Form 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
Atlas in Fighter Form gets a solid 12/10. It lands the throwback to Voltron's form, but brings some extra... curves to the game.
Sincline - 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀 🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀🧀
Tumblr media
We didn't even count the cheese. Sincline is ❤/10. It's a very organic ship design, which is unusual compared to others. Its movement is graceful and it is both strong and powerful; often ships tend to excel at either armor or weapons; rarely both.
And that wraps up our shiplist! What are your favorite ships??
(If you ever feel like we're missing or forgetting about a ship - it's not at all intentional; send us a prompt or a request and we'll start adding more for that couple/group!)

Rewatching Voltron and wouldn't it be hilarious if when the paladins came back to Earth, Keith's old classmates just started simping for the more grizzled and mature Keith?
Like Keith pulls the MFE fighters aside and apologizes to everyone with a "Hey, I know I was an asshole before but I've grown since then. I'm sorry for my past actions and I hope we can move past any old emotions so that we can work together better."
Lance definitely overheard them talking about Keith in the kitchen with remarks such as:
"I wouldn't be upset if he stabbed me."
"He could lead me to his bedroom."
"Everything Keith does makes him hotter. He really grew up."
Lance felt jealous. It's definitely because he's supposed to be the attractive one that everyone has a crush on right? It's definitely not because he has underlying feelings for Keith that he's bottled up right?
Ah screw it. He joined the simps to gush about how hot Keith is.

Guys. Yes, s8 was a pretty trash ending. Buuuut, they gave us Kosmo! My baby! And again, the end scenes were really horrible, (mostly for Lance) but OH MY GOSH have you SEEN how BIG Kosmo is??? THERE'S SO MUCH FLOOF!!!!!
I also want to say that I am incredibly upset that yesterday's post was actually posted exactly at 12AM, and therefore my daily posting streak is broken. I'm pretty salty right now. Keith in this post is me right now.
Anyway, this is on the Atlas, so it includes the MFE fighters and crew.
--------------------------------------------
Kosmo is absolutely the best boy.
Most of the time.
Right now, he is a demon. You see, he is the most obedient canine in existence, and is the sweetest puppy you'll ever meet, but he HATES baths.
He'll gladly swim through a swamp, or run around in rain that makes him smell like an odd mixture of lavender and socks.
But he HATES baths.
And when Keith tries to wash him, all Hell breaks loose.
It's a fairly calm day, at least compared to the rest of their time spent in space.
They came back a few hours ago from a planet entirely covered in marshes.
Kosmo, as usual was a great help, but the last time anyone saw Keith, the guy was chasing his wolf all over the Atlas.
The paladins and MFE fighters are trying to get to know each other better by playing 21 questions.
Hunk is in the middle of gushing about yeast with Kincade when Keith bursts in.
"Where is that DAMN DOG?"
Lance arches an eyebrow so high it flies right out of the ship and into the land of skepticism.
"Really, Keith? It's been hours since we got back. You can take down a six foot extremist purple (deformed) space cat, but you can't catch a wolf?"
Keith makes a face that almost looks like pout.
"Well, I would have caught him by now if he wasn't trying to MURDER me! So far I have been attacked by a training gladiator set on the absolute HIGHEST level, ejected into space, face planet in Collen's poop-fertilizer, gotten my hand set on fire thanks to a stove that randomly turned on, ran into SEVEN doorways, and knocked out by those gas samples we retrieved from that weird planet we visited the other day. KOSMO IS OUT TO GET ME. I just want to clean his goddamn floof!"
"Did you just say floof?" Pidge comments.
"THAT'S what you got from my whole rant? REALLY?"
Keith looks like he's about to continue his rant, when his eyes widen and his mouth presses into a firm line.
Everyone follows his gaze to where a glowing blue tail is peeking out from behind the couch.
Without any warning, Keith lunges towards it with his whole body. Like, he genuinely throws himself at it.
For a second, it looks like he's going to land on top of Kosmo and finally be able to bathe the wolf.
This, however is not the case.
Kosmo teleports out at the last second, causing Keith to land sprawled out across the floor with a painful sounding thump. That's most definitely gonna leave a mark.
Keith groans loudly.
He flips over so that he's laying on his back, but stays down.
Lifting his head just enough to look in front of him, he sees that Kosmo, the traitorous wolf, has trotted over to sit directly next to Lance.
And Lance, the traitorous paladin, makes no move to grab him.
Keith flips them both off. Kosmo can stay dirty. He'll suffer the consequences when those wicked thorns in his fur stab him while he sleeps. No, it's not petty. Okay, so it's a little petty, but Keith is ready to stoop lower than dirt at this point.
-
Nicknames for Kosmo (all by Lance):
Kosmic slushie
Komic book
Karrot cake
Wolfie
BKFF (Best Kosmic Wolfie Friend)
BFW (Big Friendly Wolf)
The Beast (Lance is Beauty, obviously) (though Kosmo and Keith kind of share that one. It's Lance's logic, don't question it. That's Keith's job.)
The Kosmopolitan museum
Komic Sans
The Kute Kosmic Kritter
The amount of red lines that are under these nicknames is quite annoying.

FIC REQUESTS INFO!
hi!! it's me, spinglespots from ao3.
I'm opening up my fic requests so u guys to request stuff for me to write if y'all wanna.
quick rules for when you're requesting;;
make sure the main pairing is klance OR includes bad things happening to either keith or lance. see below for more details on that
give me a clear idea of what you want, as much detail as you can. the more the better. if you give me just one sentence I might not end up following your request the way you want it, so unless you don't mind me taking a few creative liberties with if, as much detail as possible.
give me a clear idea of what you DON’T want, any squicks you have for the fic because I don’t want to write something that makes you(the requester) uncomfortable!! this one is SUPER important to remember when requesting
don't harass me if I decide not to write your fic! I am allowed to refuse requests if I want to. if your request is left unanswered for… let’s say 8 months, I’ve probably ignored it or deleted it bc I didn’t want to write it
if you want me to gift you the work after I finish it so you get the notification when I post it, give me your ao3 username when you give me the request, otherwise I'll just say it was requested by anon.
SIDENOTE: characters I'll allow for NON klance fics(but still including either keith or lance) is hunk, allura, the MFE fighters, the BoM, unspecified aliens, nyma and rolo, zarkon, zarkon's generals, lotor, lotor's generals and the aliens shown in the show. ABSOLUTELY no romantic/sexual inclusions of pidge whatsoever. I am more likely to accept your request if it's klance, I'm super picky with the others.
whew, anyways, that's me. have fun loves, go wild <33

looking death in the eyes.
Tumblr media
prompt; bleeding through the bandages. requested by; anonymous. fandom; voltron: legendary defender. focus character; keith. relationship(s); n/a. trigger(s); blood, attempted murder. written for @badthingshappenbingo​​!
“so,” the alien sneers, baring his teeth at the young human in front of him, “it seems we have a mutt amongst us.”
“just let him go! he’s the leader of voltron,” shiro growls out, “it shouldn’t matter whether he has galra blood in him!”
the alien - a large, fox-like species known as the tarulans - looks over at the atlas captain, teeth still bared. “and you. you were captured by the galra and tortured by them, yet there is one amongst you who shares their very blood and you have not killed him.”
“because he’s not like the majority of them,” hunk tries to reason calmly, “if it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t even be here. the black lion accepted him as her paladin, so therefore, he’s trustworthy.”
“the black lion had a galra paladin before, according to the tales, and we all know how that fared,” another tarulan sneers, glaring at keith with the same vitriol as the first. she brings out a dagger, sharp and glinting in the dim sunlight of the unusually chilly planet.
“we will be doing you a huge favor by killing this mutt,” the first tarulan says eerily calmly, his voice not matching the glare he gives the rest of the team, as he grabs keith by the back of his armor and roughly pulls him in front of him, holding him like you would hold a disobedient dog or cat by the scruff of the neck, “you have to understand that, at any moment, he could easily turn on you.”
keith looks at the team with tears in his eyes, silently begging for them to help him. he feels the dagger being placed against his throat, and it takes all of his strength not to cry out.
“do the honors, varina,” the male tarulan commands, and the female nods, hardness in her expression.
“no!” shiro shouts as he dashes forward, the others doing the same and readying their weapons. however, he is stopped by another tarulan who grabs his human arm and twists it behind his back painfully, with a knife to his own throat and a menacing look that screams ‘move and you’ll be next’. lance, allura, pidge, and hunk are dealt the same blow.
all they can do now is watch, mixtures of anger and helplessness in their eyes.
varina drags the blade ever so slowly across the black paladin’s neck, prolonging the torture. keith can feel the blade going deep as she puts pressure on it, and soon, his throat is dripping crimson liquid down his armor. hot tears streak down his face as he silently screams, begging in his mind for it to just stop.
a blast cuts the execution short, and the rest of the paladins and shiro look up to see the mfe team soaring through the sky.
“it looked like you needed some extra help,” james griffin informs. as they land the fighter jets behind the lions, he is the first to rush out and take aim at the female holding onto shiro who was caught off guard by the initial shot. the other mfes take aim as well, each one aiming at the other tarulans who immediately raise their arms in surrender.
“kill my people,” the tarulan still holding keith, who is now unnaturally paler than he normally is as the blood keeps pouring, roars, “and we will return the favor towards your pathetic kind!”
“then let our people go!” james retorts.
“not until this mutt dies! he is untrustworthy! are you willingly blind to the fact that he can turn on you in the blink of an eye?!”
james raises his rifle and aims it at the offender, his eye trained on him. he takes the shot, and the tarulan leader cries out in pain and lets go of keith, who drops to the dirt like a flimsy sack of potatoes. varina snarls and lunges quickly at the mfe leader, teeth bared and eyes blazing with rage.
allura acts quickly and retrieves her bayard, effectively lassoing the female tarulan around the waist and knocking her to the ground. james and shiro rush toward the fallen black paladin, james ordering ryan kinkade to get a medkit from his fighter jet.
keith is incredibly pale, the crimson a stark contrast against his now snowy white complexion. his eyelids are drooping, even as shiro urges him to stay awake, to stay with them, and his breathing is shallow.
shiro begins to wrap gauze around keith’s neck, being ever so gentle and delicate and apologizing profusely when he feels even the slightest movement that may indicate pain. however, he soon realizes that this may need more than some flimsy bandage...
...because even as he wraps many layers around his neck, the blood saturates it much too quickly. fuck, the dagger may have hit an artery or cut through to keith’s esophagus, and that can be way more dire than they imagined.
soon, he hears howls in the distance. fuck, they’ve called for backup, and from the looks of the growing figures, it’s a hell of a lot.
“griffin, fly keith back to the atlas and get him into a medbay stat,” shiro orders, “and keep wrapping gauze around his throat. the rest of you, get back to your lions and fighter jets.”
he looks back toward the mob of tarulans, with various weapons and armor. an entire army, he realizes.
“we’re in for a battle.”
~~~
keith awakens in the medbay, james and shiro at either side of his bed. he tries to speak, but is shushed by shiro.
“don’t,” the captain says gently, moving a strand of hair away from his face as james gets a piece of paper and a pen from the bedside table, placing it in the voltron leader’s lap, “you don’t want to pop your stitches this soon. otherwise they’ll have to put you under again and redo them.”
keith hastily grabs the paper and pen, scribbling down a message, though his hand movements are abnormally shaky.
‘what happened?’
shiro reads the message, and he looks toward james, then back to keith, who is waiting patiently. he hands the paper and pen back to the black paladin. “the tarulans... they tried to murder you. because...”
keith begins scribbling again. ‘because i’m galra?’
“yeah...”
“well, they lost out on some pretty great allies. fuck ‘em. we don’t need them as allies if they’re going to be bigoted assholes, especially to you, keith,” james inputs, and keith chuckles raspily. shiro only smiles softly.
then, the door swishes open and the rest of the mfes and paladins are standing at the doorway, a distressed medic informing the captain that they would not stay still in the waiting area. shiro smiles and motions for them to come inside, and they all file into the room, expressing gratitude that keith is still alive and letting him know that they were able to defeat the tarulan army that came to attack.
keith gives them all a grin, knowing that if anything ever happened like that again, he’d have more than his own team to have his back. james griffin and the other mfes really proved that today, and as he looks over at the mfe leader and james looks back, his eyes say that he’ll do it again for any of the paladins, but especially for him.

Why's everyone so pissed about the mfe fighters getting so much screen time? All the screen time they got was for backstory. We never actually get to know them as people besides Veronica. In my opinion we should have gotten more time understanding who they are instead of just seeing them go on a bunch of missions. But they're amazing characters and I think it would be harder to explain backstory without them. All the time they got was needed and nessesary for the story.

thinking about the MFE paladins AU again this morning. Keith getting Leifsdottir and Rizavi's help to repair his dad's old hoverbike. It's been sitting and gathering dust until he was old enough to (legally) ride it, so it clearly needs to have some work done on it. They crack it open, and immediately realize it has to be a custom build because they don't even recognize some of these parts. Leave it to Keith's dad to modify his hoverbike with alien parts.
Smash cut to much later, when they're up in space and Rizavi and Leifsdottir have the chance to dismantle a Galra fighter. They crack open the engine panel. Squint. Look back at Keith.
"We're going to have another theory party. I recognize some of these parts from your dad's hoverbike."

So what’s that in the new VLD s8 trailer?
I have a theory!
In the Netflix version of the s8 trailer, theres an extra couple seconds near the end where we see this-
Tumblr media
The one on the left is the Sincline, unless Honera somehow makes a similar ship. I doubt that though, the design is way to similar to the Sincline for Honerva, who never saw Lotor’s ships, to have made it. I’d say it probably just got some upgrades in the quintessence field, like those wings, since they look a little bigger than before. This means Lotor might return! My boi! 
Anyways, the one on the right is what I’m interested in. I thought at first it might be Atlas, but unless the Sincline somehow got WAY bigger while it was in the quintessence field, then that’s far too small to be Atlas. To be sure, I went back and got some size comparisons. I couldn’t find any of Voltron and Atlas next to each other, but we can use the monster in the s7 finale as a reference. That robot was roughly the same size as Voltron, but compared to Atlas it was like... Not even as big as it’s forearm.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also know that Voltron and the Sincline are roughly the same size-
Tumblr media
So what the hell is that thing in the trailer??? 
Guys could it possibly be the MFE fighters??? LM and JDS said that they were originally planning to have them turn into a robot instead of Atlas but couldn’t fit it into s7, so maybe they decided to put it in s8 instead?

hhhhhhhhhhhhh so season seven came out and i have a lot of conflicting feeling but one of the things i need is for them to mourn. like let them feel dammit.
(ngl, this entire thing happened because i saw this wonderful art piece)
headcanon that after everything's been settled for a while, after things have been rebuilt, earth holds a parade for anyone who lost someone to march in and remember them by. and everyone's lost someone. so it's a heckin big parade
the paladins take up the lead. they aren't wearing their armor, just casual clothing. people recognize them regardless. at first, when people first see them, they cheer. they yell appreciation and thanks and luck and love endlessly until they grow nearer. because unlike usual, they aren't smiling and waving and yelling thank yous and throwing roses. they look like they've been through hell and it takes people a moment to recall that they have.
shiro's up front, holding pictures of him and adam and has rainbows painted on the side of his face. he's got pictures of all the ambassadors and members of the coalition that had passed in the time they were missing. he bears the weight of hundreds that he feels he failed to protect because he wasn't there. so he carries their pictures and their names as he mourns his love he at least wished to see again and the years he had lost trying to protect him from across the galaxy
hunk is next. he carries a picture of his entire family, some of which are standing right there with him. some. he also carries a picture of his youngest sibling, who the galra had deemed unable to be of any use. he and his family hold that picture together, heads high, so everyone can see that despite the unimaginable pain they were going through, despite the tears streaming down their face, they would survive this.
lance stands with his sisters and his brothers and his mom and his dad and his nephews and his nieces and without his grandparents and some of his sibling's spouses. they carry not pictures, but belongings. the things they had treasured most. a rosarie for their grandmother. a baseball hat for their grandfather. one of lance's nephews is wearing a jacket far too large with his fathers name written along the bottom  of the back. he sits on lance's shoulders and lets himself be the center of attention in their little group.
pidge and keith come next. they stand together, matt, sam, and colleen next to pidge and krolia and kolivan next to keith. each family holds a plaque, large, shiny, and heavy, with tiny lettering and a large symbol on top of each. the kogane's lists all the members of the blade of marmora that had fallen in the fight against zarkon,  in the hands of a rouge druid, in the war to free the universe. at the top the blade's insignia glows galra purple, and it is a message to all that not all galra were bad, and not all invincible soldiers made it through the war. the holts, next to them, hold a similar plaque, instead with the names of every member of the rebellion that had given their life to save those of the ones they cared about. the rebels have no symbol, no marking to identify the thrown together army of people wanting to survive. so instead, in a dark orange, pidge had written "Rebels" at the top in altean. (when coran, allura, and romelle had seen it, they'd gotten choked up. the thought of their language surviving through those who had not was not a happy thought, but at the very least one that told them again that they were not gone yet)
speaking of the alteans, they came next. they were all wearing pink and black, and allura had shifted her hair color to a light shade of pink. they had painted their faces in the way alteans did in funeral processions, with half white and half red with a pink strip down the center. red was for what coursed through their veins, white was for the magic the alteans used to bring life into their worlds, and pink was a mixture of the two as a tribute to those whose red had spilt and whose magic had dried up. painted on their arms, were the names of everyone they had lost. Allura and Coran hand searched through the information they downloaded from the castle for any names of alteans that had long since been killed, but had still been the first casualties of the war. their arms were nearly entirely full of paint, and written a bit bigger on each of their arms was alfor's name. Romelle, who had been born many, many years after the fall of altea, had written the names of everyone from the colony she could remember, her brother's being largest, and her parent's being next to his. her arms were full up of names, though it didn't hold a candle to allura and coran's arms. the three of them clasped hands and let tears fall every now and then, head's held high just like hunk's.
what came after them was a flood of people so thick faces blurred together and their cries merged into a single yell. however, if someone looked close enough, they would be able to pick out a great many faces in the crowd. faces like those of the MFE fighters, who marched together, hands grasping each other's tightly enough to cut off circulation, holding a sign with the names of the pilots who had died in the decision to let them fight first. faces like shay and rax's, who carried a sketch of their father, holding each other and soaking in the sun he never got to see. faces like ryner, who had visited to see the paladins, bearing no names, no pictures, no belongings, only the knowledge that she marched for those who had fallen silently, who had fallen with no notice, who had fallen with no one to mourn.
many marched. many more had fallen. many more would. the war on earth may have been over, but the war in the cosmos was still in full swing. so they marched for those already fallen, and those who had yet to fall.

James Griffin! I literally did not like him because of how he treated Keith. I thought he was rude and stuck up, but my opinion changed after season 7. Now, I love him!
