I recently watched a 2 video series about what happened to Voltron, and honestly just watching that had made me really sad with what we could have gotten vs what we got. ...So i ended up re-reading your fix-it-fic and felt a tiny bit better. So thanks <3
ah, i think i may have seen that one - “how voltron became a tragedy”? it’s a very well done dissection and hit most of the things i had issues with, including some things (ie. the team not struggling to reform voltron with kuron once keith was gone, making it seem like keith was not as important a player of the team as shiro) that while i don’t think exactly as flaws on the same level as other, perhaps smaller things that led to far worse (ie. the paladins sitting in shiro’s chair, where he died, is played largely for laughs, and his treatment by the showrunners never gets better from that point onwards) it just shows that vld failed on… every level
and i’m glad my fix it fic could give you some comfort. that’s the goal, honestly <3 here’s to the day we get better stories with people who love all their characters and don’t treat any of them poorly
