ok so I thought you might like this but M//lain has like no chance of happening because the 'Canon' Voltron Last Names that everyone loves so much are from the Devils Due Publishing comic edition of Voltron, and the names are technically only canon to that series, and here's the kicker, those names? Are legally owned by DDP (and WEP) so for DreamWork's to use them they have to buy the rights from DDP/get permission/etc which is way more work than just giving the characters new names (1)

which dreamworks has already done with pidge and Shiro so,,, ya know Mc/lame is dead #GiveLanceaCubanLastName2kForever (2) (also sorry if you've already heard this and this message is tedious/clogging up your inbox)

you just cleared the acne this fandom gives me, thank u so much ♥ ♥

going off the Paladins as batteries: if the lions were so completely drained of quintessence that they can only (albeit poorly) run when their chosen paladin is sitting in the pilots seat, that means no more lion rescues its paladin who is in danger?? Would the black lion refuse to run completely. Not respond to Keith or Allura at all, not respond to anything period? Would Season 3 be spent trying to figure out how to fix/revive the lions and hopefully find/rescue/revive Shiro in the process??

Likely, the lions also have a way of building/repairing/recharging themselves when they have no paladin (for example, after 10,000 years, the lions were able to immediately launch into action, and Blue even had enough every to create a wormhole.  If she was sitting there drawing out Quintessence from the environment for millennia, it would explain why she could manage it that one time.)  But, yes, a lion without a paladin that was drained of energy would take a very long time to build itself back up.  However, since Allura has a canonical connection to the lions and a LOT of spare Quintessence, I have to say she can probably give them a boost enough to get them going.

However, say that the reason the Black Lion is drained is because the effort of keeping Shiro connected from the Astral Plane, then all that Quintessence would start to bleed right back out, and they’d realize something Isn’t Quite Right Here.

All this is more Fanfic territory than strictly canonical but I find it fun to play with, ahaha.

thoughts on Colleen Holt..? (On the fact that that's her canon name, or in general)

SHE HAS A NAME!  FINALLY!

I like the idea that Dr Holt (and I maintain Dr until canon corrects me and maybe even then) is in academia rather than the GG.  I tend to write her as a Chemist?  Dunno why???  I thought it was cool??  Maybe a geologist too that’d be cool, and it’d be fun if they met through some geology studies but she’s all about terrestrial geology and Sam is all about them space rocks.  From space.

If not actual-science-science, I also like her as a computer scientist, but that being Pidge’s Thing is also fun so idk.

I also like her as the ‘who said what??  I’ll kick their ass!!!’ between her and Sam.  90 percent of the time he’s the one calming her down from metaphorically ripping someone a new one. 

I’m still torn on if she knows what Pidge has been over and if she approves of it or not.  So.  -massive shrug-

On one hand, it makes sense from a ‘how the fuck frickle frack did Pidge pull this off’ standpoint.  On the other, it feels like a VERY easy solution to ‘Pidge did some shady shit for this and is probably going to face consequences for it’.  I feel like it comes from a place of ‘but I don’t want Pidge to have done something Wrong for her quest so let’s make it Okay’??  At least for me, when I try to poke at it.

So.

I’ve got nothing for this one, sorry!  -throws confetti-

But we’ve got a name!!!

howtobook101 replied to your post: Isn't it a bit creepy that despite the Lion robots...

In the Devils Due Continuation I believe the suits were labeled as just being old flightsuits from before Arus got bombed back to the dark ages? Though for VLD and Golion I’m pretty sure there is minimal explanation

OH! I haven’t gotten to them fully, but thank you! I’m surprised they covered this in the adaptions.
