Today’s Daily Honey is brought to you by ‘I was just trying to do my Goretober prompt how did this happen’ and Zarkon finally not getting cropped out of the WIP preview.

The prompt was ritual and this was not supposed to get so out of control.  Whoops.  I would absolutely try to punch through and finish it tonight but A) I have work to do and B) if I’m gonna spend this much time on a ship picture it REALLY ought to be the one I have due for a zine by the end of the month.  :x

Voltron Season 3 Thoughts (Review)

Season 3. Ooh boy. This season. I love it but I hate it but I still love it. I make sense, it’s okay! But I love and hate it for the same reason. It’s messy. The Paladins struggle so much to make it work without Shiro and this is most apparent with Keith but the signs are obvious with the others too. Keith is just…more expressive, somehow. And then when they finally figure out how to make it work, Shiro from what it looks like returns and Keith becomes uncertain, stepping back.

I love Keith this season. I can really relate to him – the self-esteem issues, struggling to grieve and feeling like he isn’t good enough. It’s painful when someone you loved so deeply starts acting differently towards you and even though you want to brush it aside, it still hurts. Unfortunately, Keith, not all of us get the closure that our bad friend/family is a clone, so you got lucky! I wish I could say my friends had been replaced by a clone lol.

Also, major thing, I loved how quickly Keith and Black bonded. Keith literally defended her from clone Shiro’s victim blaming/victim shaming and she in return rejected the clone because she wanted Keith. It was amazing! The lion swap was amazing and the new pairings (Keith/Black, Lance/Red and Allura/Blue) fit so much better for the team and the characters to me. When I first saw this, I hadn’t seen the original. But I still liked this because I feel the season 1 and season 2 pairings formed too easily outside of Shiro and Black. Shiro and Black too though felt more like a trauma bond than a genuine bond. Which aren’t bad but I’m glad they didn’t make that long-term. It would have been a bit unrealistic.

I also enjoyed learning the past of the original Paladins. Interestingly enough, it had some fun parallels with Harry Potter and the Marauders, which was really cool! Both Pettigrew and Zarkon were very selfish people, although Pettigrew’s reasons were cowardice and maybe power while Zarkon’s weirdly was more noble because he did love Honerva.

Oh! Oh I almost forgot. Hole in the Sky is one of the best written episodes and is gold for real Kallura fans. I have always been fond of the lady and her knight trope and this episode did it beautifully with Keith and Allura. Keith literally stayed in her shadow, cautioning her the entire episode and protecting her when things went south. Not only that, but he went over to comfort her when she needed it and Lotor got the comet. It was so cute!

Oh yeah, where was I before? Yeah, ok so I enjoyed Zarkon and Honerva’s love story. It was romantic in an extremely messed up way, which is okay. Makes it more exciting but I do think they loved each other. And come on. Doesn’t “I’ll destroy the universe for you” sound like the most romantic thing ever? It totally does! Yes, I know I’m weird.

in the time travel lance au, how much did lance tell the team/lotor? do they know hes from the future and that hes lance and how much things went to shit, or is he keeping the info from them(i mean you said hes doing that, but im curious as to how much hes actually letting them know)? also wait hold on. does the whole time travel situation mean that there are TWO lances running around now??

Pretty sure Lance tells them absolutely nothing. Just absolutely nothing. Fuck All. At best you can expect from him is vague riddles, very specific advice, and a 10-minute long call out session in Lotor's case where he drags him for every issue he ever had and after which he fucks off to do god knows what. And while Lance does try to keep his identity hidden, not to mention lets just say he is Off Putting enough to the point that the aliens do not connect him to any of the humans (except Kuron who recognized a movie reference).

And there are two Lances running around, though because of future!Lance, Shiro didnt reach Earth and instead he met Allura who got out from cryopod earlier

#My hc is that Haggar started clone thing even before Shiro escaped #Anyway i dont really have a story or plot for this (when do i ever have one?) It is just vibes #What is going on here is Allura Coran and Shiro running around like headless chicken with only the castleship trying their best #Zonerva going through an epic civil war causing divorce courtesy of future!Lance #Lotor having worst time ever but atleast got redemption arc and isnt killing alteans anymore #(we are still working on emotional honesty and vulnerability and trying not to manipulate people) #Present!Lance being forced to speedrun his development so that in case the team is needed he is a proper gentleman #Future!Lance fighting for his life being chaotic neutral morally unhinged guy having enough boyfail moments to make a hard knock life amv #And Kuron living his best stardew valley life only vaguely aware of horrors #(no clone issues on sight what are you talking about hahahaHA we are so chill here😎😎😎😎😎😰- I MEAN- 😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎) #time traveller lance au

New Chapter for Lotura Fic - Quantum Entanglement

Story Summary: Princess Allura of Altea didn’t die in VLD s8. Instead, in saving the multiverse, she became lost in it, crash-landing on an Earth different from the one she knows. She is found by a human Lotor, who mourns for a dead Allura. But death is not so mysterious when one knows alchemy. And the realm of the dead, where both the human Allura and the alien Emperor Lotor reside, is not as far as it might seem.

VLD canon/AU crossover (Still Lotura with some Zonerva included.)

Rated: M (please see tags on AO3)

You can read the new chapter here on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/21694762/chapters/109814772

Rewriting Haggar/Honerva’s redemption arc

One of the many things that bothered me about VLD S8 is Honerva’s redemption arc. While I was never fully against the idea of Honerva getting a redemption arc, I just didn’t want VLD to do it because I knew that they would fuck it up if they tried. And low and behold, I was right!

But yeah, I wasn’t against the idea of her being redeemed. And I don’t mean “redeemed” as in “all is forgiven and she’s just a good guy now,” but more like a Darth Vader, “the things she did were inexcusable and she would never be able to right all her wrongs but she goes out on one good act to show that there was still good in her deep down and she at least had the potential to change.”

I know a lot of people don’t like the whole, “redemption=death” thing, which I understand, but I personally never had a problem with it.

Ok, so why didn’t Honerva’s redemption work? Well there are a few reasons but the one that baffles me the most is that, instead of trying to make her more sympathetic, season 8 seemed to go out of its way to show her being more evil and vile than ever.

And because I have nothing better to do, I’m gonna go through Honerva’s story in VLD and explain what I would change to make her redemption more believable.

(Keep in mind I am not a writer, this is just me ranting about my favorite character and how I personally would’ve written her.)

1. Realizing she’s Altean

I always thought it’s was weird that when Allura said “you’re...Altean!?” In the S2 finale, Haggar didn’t seem to react at all, she just kept attacking. It’s as if she didn’t care or already knew, which doesn’t make sense considering in the S3 finale and S8E2 it’s established that Haggar has no memory of who she was before she died. And in S4E3 she seems shocked by her Altean face (which also doesn’t make sense because her blue skin isn’t camouflage that’s just how she looks after the rift) so it seems like she didn’t know.

Wouldn’t it have made more sence if after Allura said “you’re...Altean!?” Honerva looked confused/shocked? If she became defensive and said Allura was lying/trying to insult her? There’s def anti-Altean propaganda in the empire so it would be considered an insult.

After that she starts questioning Zarkon. And when she looks into his mind, it��s out of genuine curiosity and desire to know the truth, not because, “the empire needs him” or whatever that meant.

And isn’t it a bit odd that she doesn’t seem betrayed at all when she finds out Zarkon has been keeping all this from her? She’s just like, “oh, you’re my husband? Cool.” Wtf???

2. Her past relationship with Zarkon

Okay, I love Zonerva, but if we’re being honest, Zarkon was not the best husband. He enabled the shit out of Honerva, even when it was obvious that the rift was doing serious damage to her physical and mental health. To me, it seems like Zarkon was so blinded by the power the rift gave him that he didn’t realize/ignored the negative effect it was having on Honerva. In the same way he downplayed the negative impact the rift had on the planet.

I think that should’ve been explored more. Maybe Honerva notices that she’s been acting differently and is worried somethings wrong (think S5 Kuron). And Honerva tries to tell Zarkon that she feels strange and Zarkon just brushes it off.

And later, when Alfor visits Diaibazaal years later. Things are pretty much the same except when we sees Honerva, she is very obviously pregnant and Alfor’s there when Honerva falls and goes into labor (instead of a random quintessence seizure). Alfor and many Galran doctors try their best to save her and the baby but she dies in childbirth.

Zarkon goes ballistic. He’s yelling, throwing doctors across the room, and Alfor turns to the doctor holding Lotor and tells them to get the baby to safely, fearing Zarkon will take his grief out on the baby.

Zarkon turns on Alfor, blaming him for Honerva’s death and accusing him of letting her die so that he could get his way and close the rift. He lunges Alfor and roars at him to leave.

He spends the rest of the night grieving at Honerva’s bedside, when Kova jumps on the bed and starts gnawing on her finger trying to wake her up. This is what gives him the idea to bring her back with quintessence.

3. Her current relationship with Zarkon

I think it’s pretty safe to say that they’re relationship didn’t get better after the war began. Zarkon hid her identity and her child from her for 10,000 years and essentially used her as a tool of war. It’s pretty fucked up.

I know it’s pretty well established that Zarkon treats Haggar with more respect than his other underlings, but I feel like it would be interesting to see that change overtime. We see that after Voltron comes back, Zarkon becomes very obsessed with Voltron/Black, and he and Haggar start disagreeing more and more.

Remember the moment where one of Haggar’s druids told Zarkon Haggar said he needed to rest and Zarkon hit them with his bayard and told them, “remember who your master is”? What if, instead of a random druid, it was Haggar who he hit?

I feel like that would be a good way to show Haggar and the audience just how much Zarkon’s obsession with Voltron is affecting him, and make the audience feel a tiny bit bad for her.

Then later in season 4, when Zarkon wakes up from his coma and finds out Haggar brought Lotor back to take his place he gets pissed. He puts a price on Lotor’s head and has Haggar arrested for treason. She steals a ship, escapes, and later on meets up with Lotor’s generals.

Her and Zarkon are officially broken up and her quest to reclaim her identity and get her son back begins.

4. Oriande

I never liked the concept of chosen/sacred Alteans. The idea that some Alteans are just born more powerful than others just feels iffy. My idea of Oriande is that it’s an Altean holly land, any Altean can enter it just depends on whether or not you can pass the White Lion’s trial. Passing the trial proves that your intentions are pure and and the White Lion will bless you with power.

I didn’t like how Honerva seemed to force her way into Oriande, I think it would be more effective if she had gone through normally because, at this point, her intentions were pure. She was going there to purge herself of the dark magic corrupting her and reclaim her memories so she could go get her son back.

I also like the idea that Oriande is a sorta link to the Altean after life, and you can speak with people you’ve lost. Allura gets to speak with Alfor, and Honerva speaks with her mother.

You could also have her be confronted by the spirits of the Alteans she helped destroy. Have the weight of her past actions bear down on her. An important part of any redemption arc is acknowledging the terrible shit you’ve done in the past, and that was severely lacking in Honerva’s arc.

Another interesting thing you could do is have Honerva talk to her younger self. The one that died 10,000 years ago. This kinda thing actually happened in 80s Voltron, young Haggar appearing in Haggar’s head trying to convince her to be good again.

5. Her relationship with Lotor

Now this is where the redemption arc really falls apart. I forget who, but one of the writers said after S5 that Haggar/Honerva was motivated purely by love for her son, but man did they do a bad job of showing that.

And it would’ve been so easy to fix that problem, just have her not be horrible to him. Have them have actual civil conversations, have her protect and defend him. Don’t have her reject him as a fucking baby!

Imagine if, after Zarkon destroys Lotor’s planet, instead of immediately deciding to

exile him, Zarkon says that this is the final straw and he’s going to have Lotor executed. But Haggar speaks up to defend Him. There’s actually a scene in DOTU where Zarkon tries to kill Lotor and Haggar gets on her knees and begs for him to be spared. (Though the scene was mostly played for laughs.)

she asks for mercy and justifies it by saying it would be unwise to kill his only heir. It’s a weak argument, Lotor’s a half breed and couldn’t realistically take the throne, but Zarkon does concede, he still loves her after all, and has Lotor exiled.

And Haggar isn’t spying on him because she doesn’t trust him, but because she’s concerned for him. When Lotor confronts Haggar about sending her cronies after him, she says she knows he’s hiding something. Lotor asks if she’s threatening him, thinking she’s going to rat him out, but she says no, she’s not threatening him, she’s just trying to warn him against doing anything stupid because, with Zarkon seemingly on his death bed, the empire needs Lotor’s leadership.

At this point in the story, Haggar is questioning her loyalty to Zarkon, so I feel like it would make sense for her to be silently supporting Lotor from the shadows.

Then at the Kral Zera in season 5, It was weird to me how she was helping Lotor through Kuron while also telling him he couldn’t be emperor and trying to put Sendak on the throne. I feel like it would’ve made more sense for Sendak to just show up on his own without Haggar.

Haggar wouldn’t even be at the Kral Zera, she would just watch through Kuron.

And then we get to S6 when she actually reveals to Lotor that she’s his mom. This scene was just so poorly done. She never actually apologizes to him, she’s just like “yeah I forgot you were my kid and I never loved you, but were cool now right?” I remember when I saw S8E2 and it shows her after Lotor rejects her and she looks like she’s about to cry, I was just thinking, “this would be very emotional and sad IF she had actually apologized and made it clear that she genuinely loved him.” But she didn’t and I don’t know why!

And then we get to season 8, and of course everything in S8 is bad but Honerva’s story is particularly bad. She’s supposed to be motivated by love for Lotor yet she doesn’t act like she actually cares about him at all.

She manipulates his corpse and when she sees his gross melted body, she doesn’t even react that much. When a mother sees her child’s mutilated corpse, how do you think she reacts? Screaming? Crying?? Hurling??? But no. She’s just like, “...”

And then when she goes to the alternate reality and meets baby Lotor and he rejects her, her reaction isn’t disappointment or sadness, it’s anger and entitlement. She immediately decides, “ok, fuck this kid. Let’s destroy this reality.”

It just doesn’t make sense! This is the season you’re trying to REDEEM her! Why are you going out of your way to make her so vile?

6. Her S7-S8 plan

(Keep in mind I haven’t watched S7/S8 since they came out and barely even watched S8 to begin with, so I don’t remember some things and I can’t be bothered to rewatch them.)

Okay, starting with S7, she’s not in this season at all but in “The Ruins” the druid dude says that her final order was to hunt and destroy the Blade of Marmora. I guess it makes a certain amount of sense because she saw that it was Keith who brought Lotor’s actions to light, but that whole plot was really pointless in my opinion. (Was anybody really hoping for a rematch between Keith and that one random druid?)

If you want us to forgive Honerva for her crimes, you really shouldn’t keep adding more unnecessary crimes. It’s established that there were a lot of Galra war lords vying for power and pirates looking for money, just have it be that Kolivan got kidnapped by one of them.

Then you have her season 8 plan and I’m gonna be real with y’all, I have no idea how to fix this mess.

I feel like the basics of her plan could work. She tries to get Lotor and Sincline out of the rift but when she gets him he’s a melted corpse so the plan then becomes to use sincline to go to another reality to find a living Lotor, but opening all these rifts causes problems and the paladins have to stop her.

But all the shit with manipulating the colony Alteans, killing the White Lion, desecrating Oriande, and destroying Olkarion and entire realities, it was all so unnecessary.

Personally I would cut the colony Alteans from the story all together, there are other ways for Lotor to betray the team. It was a lazy way of making Lotor 100% evil and having Honerva manipulate them is unnecessarily cruel, especially in the season you’re trying to redeem her.

Here’s a very basic outline of how I would do this plot.

If we’re going by season 8’s logic that she needs a sacrifice to bring back Sincline, I would’ve had the Galra she killed at the Kral Zera be the sacrifice, not the White Lion. She stands on the pyramid and talks about how the empire stole her life from her and she wants revenge as she absorbs their quintessence into herself and then uses that to bring back Sincline.

Then when she finds Lotor dead she takes Sincline and uses it to go to another reality where she can be with her family.

The danger comes when she opens rifts to the other realities and rift creatures start coming out and causing damage. The paladins fight them and follow her into the rift to stop whatever evil plan she may have. Because the paladins don’t know that Haggar is now Honerva and all this is just to get Lotor back. They think this is all some plan for multiverse domination or some shit.

Meanwhile Honerva has just been rejected by little Lotor and seeing Voltron show up pushes her over the edge and they fight.

But when they find out the real reason she’s doing all this they start trying to appeal to her and convince her to give up and close the rift peacefully. And similarly to how the paladins had to sacrifice the castle to close the rifts created by the fight with Lotor, Honerva has to sacrifice herself to close the rifts.

In the end, I feel like a Honerva redemption arc could’ve worked if the writers were actually competent and actually made an effort to have her be sympathetic, but In canon, her reasoning, “If I can’t indulge in the simple joys of life, why should anybody else?” just doesn’t cut it.

It’s disappointing. VLD had so much potential. I’m thinking of just rewriting the entire series from the beginning. Hopefully putting all my thoughts out into the universe will help me move on.

So, I have recently finished my first multi chapter lotura fic...

...and since I have no idea how to properly incorporate images on AO3, I have decided to make this separate post with the images that I have either created or been inspired by for the creation of certain scenes from the last chapter.

Starting with Allura’s wedding dress:

Lotor’s ceremonial sword:

And finally, Allura’s scepter:

If you love lotura, please consider checking out my fic Where is the Fragrance of the Sweet Juniberries? on AO3, here is the summary:

Lotor and Allura have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Unfortunately, when Allura receives the news Lotor was promised to marry a princess from a far away land, she is surprised by a horrible desease that is spreading through the galaxy killing the victims of unrequited love.

The arrival

Greetings my friend,

Sorry for these long months of silence. I left you with unnecessary worry, so I will respond soon to the predictions in your letter.

No, nothing bad happened to the baby. Honerva's pregnancy continues without problems. Well, no problem just for this baby.

I had thought to end the letter here. Maybe you would be intrigued by that last phrase “no problems just for this baby”, but you would imagine silly annoyances like those little misadventures you told when Melenor was pregnant. So this letter would serve the original purpose of reassuring you.

But I changed my plans, and here you will find words that will cause you anguish, perplexity, sadness and even contempt for me. Because these are the exact feelings I've been nurturing since I got the news that I was going to be a father. So forgive me for all the discomfort I will cause, but I need to try to get rid of these feelings. Who knows, if I honestly express my shameful thoughts and feelings here, they might come out of me and get stuck on paper.

Honerva is not well. I believe she is sick. Very sick. It's not a disease you can see or explain. The doctors here don't even consider it a disease! But I know it can only be that. That's the only explanation for such a sudden change in her behavior.

Her feelings cascade. She gets angry for reasons that have never bothered her before, she is saddened by nothing. Sometimes she has sudden panic attacks, as if she's been falling forever, but then everything turns to fury when I or someone else tries to calm her down. Then, at the end, comes a torrent of tears and apologies. She doesn't know what is happening to her. Nobody knows. And the next day the whole cycle starts again.

I tried, I swear I tried, to find the source of the problem in a reasonable direction: some substance that was affecting her mood or the threat of some enemy. I tried to investigate what was the big event that upset her whole emotional balance. I did this without any intention of coming to the conclusion that I will tell you, and I was very reluctant to even think about it. But this whole situation drained my energy and left me alone with this dark thought.

It's his fault, Alfor. Ever since Honerva realized she was pregnant, everything started to go wrong! There is no other explanation. I wish it had, but it doesn't! What was supposed to be a blessing became a curse.

I know it's not exactly his fault. Pregnancy really causes imbalances and something very wrong is happening to Honerva. I know this is awful. I feel awful. But I can't stop thinking about how our life was perfect. And his arrival ended everything.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

it took me a while to decide but in order of oldest to newest:

Serendipity [vld / zonerva]

I know 5-6k word chapters are the norm for some, but for me this is the longest single thing I've written so far and I'm proud of that. The second half is in the works, I promise, but there was some [life stuff] going on at the time + the length which is making it tricky. It will be completed, eventually.

Does it count as kidnapping if it was an accident? [vld / antok & lotor]

A splinter of another story where Lotor gets taken in by the Blades, but a little sillier. I think I was originally going to have Kolivan as the lead, but swapped him for Antok since he doesn't appear as often in fics [at least as far as I'd seen].

Burying a Friend [vld / lotor & kova]

This one is special because something clicked while I was writing it that has been taking my style in a direction I really enjoy.

two sides of a coin [twst / jamikali]

Wrote and revised this in ~3 hours directly into ao3. I was worried it might be meh or have some glaring error because it was late but I read it the next morning and it slaps.

run away with me [twst / jamikali]

I read over the list and realized there were only four so I had to go through my account again. There are some older fics that, while I like the premise, whenever I try to read them all I can think of is how I could have done it better. So, I will be giving this fifth spot to something I can actually read all the way through, the companion piece of two sides of a coin :)

#realized this was getting a little long so i tried the small text option #hopefully it is still easy to read on mobile #also ty anon :D
