Hereās my piece that I did for the Lotura zine, Royal Alliance! @loturazine
Thank you so much for the opportunity! It was a lovely experience to take part in this gorgeous zine! ššāØ
Allura and Lotor together in Oriande. Theyāre happy and together they brought peace to the universe through their royal alliance. ššāØšø
It just never ends does it
i hate when people get into my favorite media and hate my favorite character like how do you misinterpret it that badly
Nothing Ever Truly Goes Extinct - New Chapter
Like a block of sculpted marble, Lotor sat there numbly, frozen in the same fetal pose, a mere reflection of his state of mind.
Ā Ā The myriad of āwhat ifās tormenting his mind became one final, singular inquiry that rammed at the gates of his consciousness, threatening to break its integrity and throw him into a deep state of paranoia.
Ā Ā āNo, this canāt be,āĀ his consciousness kept replying, gatekeeping his sanity.
Ā Ā One single question and its stubborn answering counterpart wrestled each other like titans, in a monumental clash that abolished his senses into numbness.
Ā Ā It took the little wiggly creatures in front of him quite some time to figure out how to snap him out of it.Ā

Bad news...
Since the AO3 fundraising drive is coming up, this is your friendly reminder that AO3 has zero ads. Thatās right, zero ā even if you turn off your ad blockers. There are zip. Zilch. None.
There are vanishingly few places these days that donāt sell you. If youāre sick of being sold, and if you have the means to do so, then maybe you should consider supporting those sorts of sites.
Scene of a crime. Someone got their ass blasted to the shadow realm...

āPerhaps we are looking at this the wrong wayā¦ā Lotor brushed a knuckle over his lips. Sitting down on the floor, next to Colt and the princess, he darted a glance at her with the corner of his eye. āAllura,ā he fully turned towards her and extended his open palm, āI believe we have a way to weaken him.ā
Ā Ā āWhat do you have in mind?ā she gazed suspiciously at his large palm. In their past life, heād piloted that cursed Sincline quite expertly, actually. Had she not possessed the alchemic knowledge of Oriande, Sincline would have taken down Voltron, for sure.
Ā Ā He must have had some insightful ideasā¦ What did he come up with?
Ā Ā āCome, letās try it,ā he got up on his knees and again, courteously offered his hand to help her stand up.
Ā Ā āTry what?ā she frowned with a bit of impoliteness.
Ā Ā Lotor laid his palms on his thighs and leaned closer to her, with an impish smile. His fangs glinted dangerously in the blue lights.

A few days ago I was reading this interview on VLD S6 and one segment stood out to me:
Dos Santos: The initial idea behind this incarnation of Lotor was that you wanted to be able to look back on everything he said and see that there was a hint of truth to everything; every manipulation that he had, there was a hint of truth there. Maybe he snaps at the end, but when heās pleading with Allura, if she had said, āAlright, letās do this,ā I believe he would have been like, āOkay, great! This is working out. Planās coming together.ā
Montgomery: Lotor is a product of his upbringing and he grew up in the Galra Empire, so his method for going about things may not be as beautiful and peaceful as the Alteans, but his intentions were true. The funny thing is, had Allura reacted differently, it could have been an extremely different ending. But emotions were high and what Lotor did was unacceptable to her, soā¦
(This interview took place before the release of S7.)
I believe we were supposed to get exactly that extremely different ending, not in S6, but in S8, as a final reveal.
As I postulated in this meta, Lotor was possibly making use of the Entity by getting the Alteans on the second colony to accept it inside themselves, gain its powers and be capable of protecting their planet, purify raw quintessence and more.
In the final season, under the guidance of either Lotor or the Entity itself, Allura basically reaches the same conclusion, that in order to defeat Honerva, she needs to take the entity inside herself, to become one with the entity. Ta-daa! And thatās why LM says āthe funny thing isā¦ā because she knew exactly what that funny thing was and, later on, they would actually circle back to that same thing. And it would make sense from what JDS explains as well: āplanās coming togetherā. That was the plan. To beat Honerva with her own weapon.
Just as an exercise, try this experiment: put on the glasses of what I just postulated - that Lotor was actively infusing the Alteans on the moon colony with the entity. And then re-read the EPsā statements. I think they make much more sense if you start from that premise.
As someone who has been into VLD since 2016, I agree with you. We were supposed to get a completely different ending. Itās not a widely popular concept in the fandom and you may get the stink eye and be looked down at from some but who cares? I donāt.
And itās not pointless to talk. Even after almost 4 years since it ended, I think itās still worth talking and sharing.
It makes me happy to know new fans to VLD are watching and coming up with similar conclusions some of us fans have come up with. So keeping the conversation and sharing thoughts and ideas is important imho. :3
Iāll admit, it hurts reading those interviews and it still takes some time to digest it. lol But i have to put my feelings aside from that time (for me at least since S6 broke me bad and then S8 happened lol) and look at it with fresh new lenses today. Lotor was absolutely robbed of his arc. (Allura, and many others.)
I always said Lotor was capable of magical abilities and I still stand by it. ;3
With the news of Queen Elizabethās hospitalisation, itās now a distinct reality that we could be looking at a change in monarch. And while everyone loves being performative and wants to look cool and join in on the āfunā of celebrating her death, maybe instead you should be looking at doing something that might actually make a difference.
Queen Elizabeth II was an incredibly popular monarch. She was clever and cunning and played her apolitical political role well, taking care to remain in the good graces of the public. It is NOT a coincidence that while monarchies all around Europe toppled, Britain never once seriously looked at getting rid of their Queen.
This is not true of Charles. He is not as well liked. He does not have the benefit of longevity - most people alive have known the Queen as their monarch their whole lives, and have never seen the monarch change. Kicking a little old lady off the throne after what many people have seen as years of service to her country was a relatively unpopular proposition, but the same is not true of of a man who people arenāt all that fond of, and who doesnāt hold the position.
If youāre on tumblr youāre probably very aware of the questionable past and present of the British throne - and if youāre British or a member of a commonwealth state, now is the time to start talking about it. The monarchy is never going to be overthrown while Queen Elizabeth is still alive, but on her deathā¦ well, itās pretty much fair game.
So instead of just celebrating on your blog, go out and talk about the monarchy. Sow seeds of revolution. Talk about the racism of the royal family. Talk about the racism inherent in the system, and the very personal racism that Megan Markle exposed. Talk about how it isnāt fair that in a unilateral society based on principles of equality, we have not just a monarch but an entire class of people who are born into titles. Talk about how the royal family hoard wealth, how their modern wealth has come from their past subjects, as well as the burden on tax payers. Talk about how unfit they each are for their positions. How you donāt like Charles, or donāt want him as king. Talk about how outsiders are treated - Megan, Diana.
Talk about all the downsides of the monarchy, and do it loudly and publicly, especially with people who are on the fence or who donāt think they care. We will only step away from the monarchy when the general public demand it, and for that to happens, people need to be informed. People need to consider what things would be like without the institution theyāve lived with all their lives- and if the figurehead of that institution is changing, now is the perfect time.
if the british people you know seem upset rn, itās not that theyre bootlicking monarchists. the queens death is going to dominate their news cycle to the exclusion of all else, the cost of the funeral and coronation are going to be giant wastes of money straining an already hyper-inflated economy, traffic and travel are going to be fucked up. british people are suffering right now- being part of the poor working class there sucks just as much as it does to us in the US- and they deserve our solidarity. we can all get in on the jokes and memes and crab raves, but remember that her death didnāt end anything for them: itās just the beginning of a shitshow.
