Welcome To Shippy Voltron Hell

My name is Pinky. I ship Shallura and Shidge, & I like space parents so please don't harsh my mellow. I use she pronouns for Pidge. To me, she's cis. /disclaimer.  This sideblog is free of ship hate. Sometimes this blog has NSFW content.

It’s an honor to join this wonderful zine! Thank you so much for giving me opportunity to joining ^^

Btw, OMG I’m sorry that I’m talking about other pair in this post, but there’s an epilogue of Red Out (Zeith fic) NFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU

Lotor hating Shiro. Lotor hating Shiro with a burning passion. The team never talks about it, they all individually reach their own conclusions. Most of them accept that Lotor hates Shiro for some convoluted reason relating to the Black Lion and Zarkon. It becomes a fact. Space is cold. Lotor hates Shiro. Lotor doesn’t just hate Shiro, he goes out of his way to piss Shiro off. He eggs him on, ensures that Shiro always gets stuck in the worst position during their skirmishes. He even leaves taunts written in obscure places all over the universe - places he knows the paladins will go to. It drives Shiro nuts. He has no idea why Lotor hates him. Shiro tries to be nice to people, he tells himself that there’s no valid reason behind Lotor’s hate. But it bugs him. He starts voicing his concerns. The rest of the team just shakes their heads and says to let it be. It is what it is. And then Team Voltron captures Lotor. He’s defeated. The evil purple elf alien is sitting in a cell, complaining about “outdated Altean technology” and Shiro approaches him. He wants to know. He needs to know. Why does Lotor hate him so much? He asks. Lotor looks him straight in the eye and says it’s because he’s courting the green paladin. Shiro’s face goes red. He can’t seem to find a proper response. He takes a deep breath and asks Lotor where he got that idea. Lotor says he asked the green one if she was interested in a relationship. When? Shiro asks. Lotor says it was during a battle. That the green paladin told him she was dating Shiro. Shiro doesn’t believe him. He doesn’t react at first. And then he yells “All this time you’ve hated me over that?!” Wild laughter fills the room from the comms. Pidge’s laughter. Shiro takes a deep breath and walks out of the room. He finds Pidge on the floor, watching Lotor’s cell through a monitor. She can’t catch her breath. When she finally stops laughing and is able to breath, Shiro asks - with a straight face - a single question: Is this your way of asking for a date? It’s Pidge’s turn to be red.

wait what, what did kimberly brooks say? i've only seen a few things but none of it jumped out to me as particularly drama-worthy.

Anonymous said: What did Kimberley say in the podcast? Are you gonna post a transcript?

I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen anyone talking about this interview which means people are purposefully ignoring it and I personally find that funny. Basically, the interview was really good and we got some good insight on Allura from the va herself (and the promise of some really exciting things which I am hoping means Alteans or Altean descendants). Towards the end of her part of the interview (around 00:49:20) this happened:

Interviewer: How do you feel when the Voltron fandom calls Allura “Space Mom?”

Kimberly: I feel very warm about that because mom is affection, it’s loving, it’s protector, it’s teacher and guide. And she’s sort of teaching them, she’s nurturing, and yet she’s strong and she knows she has to do what she has to do to protect her family and to protect the universe. Let’s just say the universe is her family and now it sort of is. It’s a term of endearment, I think. And Shiro’s Space Dad, what are you gonna do about that? I mean they have those roles for a reason. Someone’s gotta be mom and dad. Someone’s gotta be in charge. Why not Allura? I love it. I think it’s awesome.

So keeping a long story short, Kimberly likes the space mom trope this fandom hates so much and provides a reason as to why she enjoys it and also implied that Shiro and Allura are space parents.

HOWEVER, same interview some questions came up regarding Allura’s youth and Kimberly answered them truthfully but the over excessive use of “young” and “youth” seemed funny to me because those words are so vague and, like it or not, applies to 20+ adults because contrary to what that One Portion of the fandom believes, being in your 20s doesn’t mean you’ve got your life together, that you’ve grown up, or that you’re even mentally mature enough to truly be called an adult. Along with that, Kimberly made a comment that Allura was “kind of like a teen” which doesn’t make sense and made me laugh out loud over how vague it is, especially when she and Bex made a comment at Wondercon 2016 about how Allura seemed 20. (around 1:30)

So basically, Allura is “kind of like a teen” and “young” but she’s still a space mom and has that role for a reason along w/ Shiro–I find this too vague to be a coincidence and imo this only proved my theory that Dreamworks/the voltron writers are purposefully being vague and secretive about Allura’s age because they’re testing the waters and trying to find out which ship they think works best. So I’m not saying “Allura is 100% a teen” or “Allura is 100% an adult” I’m just saying they’re retconning Allura’s age for a reason and there’s just no denying the context behind her scenes with Shiro seasons 1 and 2 from a writing standpoint, and yet she was de-aged (do not fight me on this with “well she just never had a chance to express her age” that is a weak argument and gives too much credit to the writers imo) in season 3 aka the only season without Shiro for a majority of the time.

Honestly, if they just made her 20 and went with the guidebook ages for the paladins, with Shiro being 25 and Keith being 18, she’s in that in between age where both ships work and no one can really say anything against them. And regardless of her being referred to a teen in official documents they’re both sketchy. The guidebook isn’t canon, and the only other place where she’s called a teen in writing is that one book retelling the events of episode 1, which coincidentally also called Shiro a teen. And JDS saying “like a teen” is about as valid of a phrase as “kind of like a teen” because it’s just too vague bc unlike with the other paladins they could pull a “we only said she was LIKE one not that she WAS one” which is something they could honestly do and get away with.

tl;dr Kimberly likes it when Allura’s called a space mom and implied she and Shiro are mom and dad yet also referred to Allura’s youth in vague and confusing contexts so Dreamworks just wont pick an age because they want a ship. That’s my theory, anyway.

Have a lovely pining!Shallura

whenever i start to doubt the fact that Shallura will become canon I remember that their evil counterparts are married and have been devoted to each other for 10.000 years and all my doubt fades away.

Howl’s Moving castle crossover - human!Allura and altean!Shiro

[joarchives-deactivated20190103]

in episode one, they talked about how the quintessence of a pilot must mirror the quintessence of the lion and how it is a mystical bond that cannot be forced, and yet allura, who has a bond with all of the lions and has all the qualities needed for the bp (pidge literally calls her the decision maker, one of the main qualities of bp is that they’re the decisive head of voltron!!!), is ignored in favor of keith for position of bp

Hear that? That’s the sound of me screaming my lungs out at how amazingly beautiful this is. I’m so blown away by how fantastic this is!

This was my commission from the wonderful @slashpalooza, who I can’t seem to tag, but I’ll try. I asked for them clubbing, and the finished result is more beautiful than I ever dreamed it would be, and fits the image I had in my head PERFECTLY. It’s so gorgeous, and they look so so so GOOD. I’m dying. DYING.

A quick observation about Shiro and the Black Lion’s bonding moment in the S2 finale: right before Shiro retrieves his bayard from Zarkon, there’s a montage of images showing us how closely he and Black have bonded. It’s all memories of their time together, and most of it’s pretty standard stuff that you’d expect, depicting their close relationship over two seasons.

There’s Black rescuing Shiro from robeasts and dino-dogs:

Black rescuing Shiro on the astral plane when they fought Zarkon together:

Flying together - pretty sure this is from the nosedive exercise, the first time they really bonded:

But… one of the memories is… a bit different:

You guys. You guys. The Black Lion remembered the time they made a Voltron cheer-pyramid and Shiro said “and I’ll form the head”. This is one of their important bonding moments. THIS NONSENSE RIGHT HERE is something the Black Lion (and possibly also Shiro) fondly looks back on as a time they bonded.

Like… how funny must this have seemed from the Black Lion’s point of view? Imagine Black standing on top of the cheerleader pyramid laughing uncontrollably to herself in whatever language giant robot lions speak.

Shiro: “Is everyone bonding and focusing?”

Black Lion: “I love you but this is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever done.”
