I’ve been having trouble drawing lately, and was also reminded of how much I love Lotor. So have a quick doodle of a confuzzled purple prince.

I really wanted to draw some Lotor today, so here's casual Lotor and Lotor in armor that Acacia got him (it's just her main colors).

About Romelle

At this point I think I'm just gonna block tags of Romelle.

She's not that great, I don't trust her, and I'm tired of all the stupid new praise and ships for her. We don't even know too much about her other than that she is Altean, she knows more about Lotor's past than the rest of them, and that she is apparently Allura's cousin somehow. Other than that its just 80s Voltron knowledge that it somewhat unreliable in this show's own universe. She managed to brainwash every one of the paladins just by being the only other Altean in their dimension besides Allura and Coran. Immediately trustworthy? Not at all really.

I really wanted Lotor to be better (even if it was through canon Lotura that I wouldn't have minded anyways) and grow past his abusive past and all she did was ruin his trust and the trust of everyone else by telling a story neither she or Lotor could confirm. She told a story with little real evidence, no other Alteans to confirm it, and Lotor was immediately silenced and didn't outright say it was all correct. He didn't have time to since he was with Allura when she told her whole side of the story, he was understandably startled by the new Altean and everyone pointing weapons at him, also he got thrown across the room before he could explain to Allura. Her new stans are too quick to trust her words and call Lotor heinous things and I'm pretty sure even AJ isn't even really comfortable with that. They're very aggressive to Lotor stans as well. I love Lotor from the beginning but I still didn't trust him entirely because he was just another cool rebellious villain dude for me to drool over until I found out more and got really attached. That took at least a season to get through to me but Romelle's took a few episodes.

Romelle fucking with Allura's head and making her act out caused so much avoidable conflict. Allura wasn't even entirely at fault, almost all of the ending conflict, was really Romelle's... I find it very hard to hate a character, especially if I feel an even an ounce of sympathy for them, which I do feel for her. My problem is that she seems untrustworthy in a way that's vague to me, different from other characters in the show like Lotor and his group where its supposed to be.

I'm not gonna pretend to love her. I dislike her for the same reason I disliked Keith for a few seasons (until recently): she's another over-hyped character who has very high praise with little goodness to show for it. I'll love her when I have reasons for it. Right now I have none and I'm too tired for this.

Not to be that bitch but....

season 7 comes out tomorrow and if Lotor happens to not be what season 6 set him up to be just know that if you abandoned him last season and have been calling him crappy names during this time between seasons your Lotor stan membership card can not be reactivated.

To say you love someone and then drop them when they needed you the most and then crawl back when you find out your wrong is most definitely kinda toxic.

This goes out especially to ex Lotor stans that have been attacking current Lotor stans after season 6 

Sorry I don’t make the rules *shrugs*

No one knows whats going to happen yet but I thought I’d make my stance clear before the season even comes out.

btw this goes for whatever happens in season 8 as well

Do you have any angsty headcanons on how lotor (and kids) would cope with outliving his human s/o???

I don’t know who you meant by ‘the kids’ and i didn’t want to mess the whole thing up by doing the wrong people! Please tell me who you meant and I’ll write them as soon as possible to complete your request. But for now, here’s Lotor :) x

Lotor:

I’ve always kind of believed that Lotor is the type of guy who can only ever fall in love once. 

He grew up abused. He grew up put under the assumption that he was nothing but a burden amongst his family and the people he loved; so feeling love for other people has never been a thing he is particularly fond of.

He feels love, of course. Just like anybody else, but he definitely tries to fight it off.

So whenever he first started developing such strong feelings for you, he knew he would never be able to do it again. Trying to get himself to accept his own feelings was a form of torture for him.

But you were insistent, and you were always there, and it got to the point where Lotor genuinely had to scoff at himself every time he tried to deny that he was falling in love with you.

You two had a great life together. Lotor loved you, and you loved him, and the two of you were a team.

But you were also a human, and Lotor knew that a time would come where he would have to say goodbye to you.

Galra lived a lot longer than humans did and Lotor knew that. He watched you age. He aged right along with you, but he wasn’t dying. He was very rarely in ill health unless injured from battle, and so far, he had always managed to pull through with his battle injuries.

But he was watching you age, and your immune system was becoming weaker and weaker, to the point where you could barely get out of bed.

He didn’t want to come to the conclusion. He didn’t want to admit to himself that the happiest years of his entire life were coming to an end, that they would soon go downhill and he would be all on his own again.

But that time came.

He was by your bedside when it happened, holding your hand and telling you it was okay, that if you were in pain it was okay for you to let go, to find peace somewhere else.

At the end of the day, that was all he had ever wanted for you; for you to be free of pain, to be happy and peaceful. If he had to let you go to put you out of your misery, that was what he would do.

It didn’t make the pain hurt any less.

Lotor isn’t a guy of faith. He doesn’t believe in the afterlife, or some forgotten gods who will carry you up to heaven. He’s seen too much death and destruction for that.

But he wants to believe that you’re looking down on him. He wants to believe that you’re proud of him.

He gets on with his duties once you pass away. He’s a little slower, and he takes a few days to just lock himself in his room - your room - and grieve over his loss, but he doesn’t want to be out of commission for too long. 

And everybody notices the shift. Suddenly he has zero patience for bullshit, absolutely zero time for anyone except people who can bring him information.

He very rarely talks to people if he doesn’t feel it necessary. He knows himself that you’d be disappointed in him for acting this way, for changing his entire personality because of your death, but he can’t help it.

People try to talk to him and he can barely hear them. He stares into space, nearly getting himself killed multiple times because of his sudden lack of attention span.

People are trying to tell him stuff, and he just yells at them because they’re not you. He wants you to be giving him orders. He wants you by his side again, but he knows that that is impossible now and there’s nothing he can do about it.

He just wishes he could have done more. He wishes it didn’t hurt so much, that perhaps there was a chance he could either go with you or save you.

He acts as if it was all his fault.
