If it helps any, I'm pretty sure Endeavor saying "I put her in a hospital" was a badly translated way of saying that he admitted her into a mental ward. Which, frankly, is probably the best thing he's ever done for her because now she doesn't have to deal with him anymore.

Thank you to all the people that clarified this point to me.

You have no idea the amount of stress the flew through my body when I thought this man had hospitalized his wife and he was still walking around out here with his kneecaps intact.

Fun fact about the weapons being conduits of aura: it's a common fandom thing I've seen to use that as an explanation for the way weapons can transform. Without aura, the mechanisms would be too delicate to use in a weapon, but aura strengthens it to the point where a scythe that becomes a sniper rifle is perfectly practical.

Ah that makes sense!! If the mechanisms are being supernaturally reinforced, you can make them as delicate as you want. Which then makes it possible for one weapon to transform into another one.

“profoundly failing to give a shit” does seem to be a pretty common amethyst trait indeed

RIGHT

Yeah, @koolerestkid @nobrandminda I missed the point HARD.  I was so used to the status quo that I completely failed to adjust my expectations.

@tipoima @kyle53 My housemate is checking my asks and putting the “safe” ones in a paint doc for me to answer when I have the time :) 

I plan on leaving comments enabled but will be letting my housemate check those for me first as well so that I stay unspoiled

@koolerestkid I’m glad you’re enjoying the liveblog :) I appreciate that you think I can pick up on things well but I’ve no doubt there’s stuff I’ve already been way off about :P My housemate will be screening my asks so no fear on the spoiler front as long as my uni mates can keep their excitement to themselves!

"I wonder if [Grimm] can look like people." Of course they can. What do you think Salem is? (This is just my personal theory but DAMN does it make sense.)

Ooh… ooooh. Grimm do get smarter the older they are, maybe Salem is what happens after thousands of years. Or maybe she’s a maiden possessed by a Geist.

10/10 Beast Boy episodes will come. Saying when will probably count as a spoiler, so I won't say, but they will. (At least, I think they rate 10/10.)

Yeah, statements like that are pretty safe. If I know which episode was supposed to be good, and that episode started seemingly normal, I’d just be waiting for the twist, but with your statement the “good” episode could be a future one, or even a past one I just didn’t like as much as you thought, so there’s basically no problems from it.

I find it hilarious that your more sensible theories, like Alfor was the Yellow Paladin, were totally wrong, while your more out-there theories like Zarkon being a Quintesence-powered zombie were perfectly on point. You should make weird predictions more often!

I’m still not over Red Paladin Alfor being canon honestly. I can buy it gradually as I’m going back and thinking it over but I guess the stumbling point is- Alfor’s final decision was such a Yellow Paladin thing to do, I guess it didn’t occur me that everything was coming to pieces for him and it probably meant his personality was deeply diverted from his usual, true self. Seeing flashback Alfor helped me believe it, though. Makes me wonder if Allura just overheard one of the team griping about Keith flying them off a cliff and Keith being like “It worked didn’t it” and Allura’s just, “ah, yes, that’s the red one.”

But yeah, though, Zarkon space dracula confirmed, Voltron as a benevolent space horror confirmed. Zarkon and Haggar are married and just really quiet about it, confirmed.

Lions telepathically nudging Allura towards their favorites sunk apparently, which, raises a lot of questions and makes me wonder if Allura is a low-level mind reader. We’ve seen several interactions where the team is tricked but never one where Allura herself is actively deceived- even the s3e4 alter-dimensional evil-alteans clearly believe everything they’re saying. Allura may be able to read people emotionally.

Also, the thing where Mineta is tapping his palm and chanting 'Person'? That's a common ritual done by Japanese schoolkids to help conquer fear and performance anxiety: draw the symbol for 'Man' on your palm to represent courage, and then swallow it to take that courage into yourself. It's just one of those little cultural things; basically, Mineta has stage fright and was trying to calm himself down.

Ohh, how cute! I figured it was a stage fright thing, just didn’t understand the idea behind it.

That’s a cute way to deal with it. Way better than the American “Imagine the audience in their underpants”
