May I offer you some nice MDZS memes in these trying times?

MDZS Memes in These Trying Times: Volume II

[pan-xichen]

Breaking news: I still love voltron, everyone. This meme perfectly encompasses how I feel about the series and no I do not accept criticism for my opinion.

[pan-xichen]

And now I contribute to the MDZS fandom the only way I know how... by making memes

VLD AU where Shiro didn't die and as a result of that change the outcome is wildly different:

- Basically Shiro was actually teleported somewhere by Black in S2 instead of dying.

- I love Kuron so he's still in this I promise.

- Keith finds the real Shiro in S3.

- Keith also still leaves the team for a while and Shiro is the black paladin again.

- Keith foresees his fight with Shiro in the quantum abyss like in canon except it's the real Shiro this time (this plays off the idea that I think? one of the cast members mentioned? that OG Shiro could've turned on the team as well because he had the arm?)

- Keith and his posse arrive in time to stop Honerva taking control of Shiro.

- As an added bonus, Lotor isn't really killing Alteans for their quintessence because that plot point was STUPID so it's actually Honerva using a clone of Lotor.

- While I love TBP with my whole ass heart and wouldn't change anything that happens in that episode at all, in this AU the team knocks out Shiro before Honerva assumes control and removes the arm, and the fight at the clone facility is Keith and Shiro teaming up against Honerva.

- It's not so much a "fix it" AU because I actually like S7 the way it is as it is an AU where things happen differently because why not.

- So Keith and Shiro fight Honerva and the clone facility is destroyed, the dramatic moment where Keith and Shiro fall to their deaths still happens but the astral plain sequence is different; Shiro and Keith both enter Black's astral plain and Shiro shows Keith how to see with the lion's eyes, their souls merge and their combined power yeets the black lion back to their team in time to help them battle the generals.

- Honerva escapes the fight obviously she has to be the big bad again later.

- Keith and Shiro rescue the one clone that survives the destruction of the facility and that's how Kuron still exists except he calls himself Ryou instead.

- It's mildly weird for everyone at first but Shiro and Ryou are kinda like twins now (also they remove the galra arm from the clone too but give him a different looking one from Shiro's).

- Did I mention Lotor is innocent already because he's innocent in this AU, they find out it was a clone of him all along and the real Lotor would Never kill people for their quintessence (I have a lot of problems with what happened to Lotor I just don't talk about them a lot lmao).

- Keith gets permanent clairvoyance from extended time in the abyss except he can't control it and everything he sees is out of context, yaaaay.

- They still fight in the rift but Lotor and the generals are fighting alongside the paladins and they trap a robeast in there instead so no one dies horrifically, also I miss the robeasts.

- The castle of lions doesn't get destroyed and the robeast was big enough to seal the rift, yaaay.

- You'd think that the soul merging thing would mean that Keith and Shiro are co-pilots but you thought wrong sorry I love Captain Shirogane.

- Except this time Atlas is a single lion that can turn into a smaller mecha and Shiro is the white paladin (I'm thinking his hair turns white still somehow like when he and Keith merge to control the black lion or something).

- Atlas still merges with Voltron so Keith and Shiro aren't co-pilots but they are co-leaders.

- The events on earth happen pretty much the same barring a few differences like Shiro already having a new arm, (that actually has a bicep lmao), Shiro becomes the admiral of the Garrison too because it's what he deserves.

- I didn't watch S8 and never will so I don't know exactly how this change in events would affect that except:

Shiro actually contributes more to the story and doesn't just carry that tiny pistol as a weapon, he has a white bayard.

He actually saves Keith in That Episode.

Keith and Shiro spend some time together and address shit they honestly should have talked about on-screen in the carnival episode.

Allura doesn't die because FUCK that.

Kuron/Ryou is a separate person from Shiro and is still alive.

Keith's quintessence sensitivity is explained at some point because I am not content with the implication that it's just because he's an alien and there isn't a deeper explanation.

Keith isn't a good leader just because he's Galra because that was STUPID and took away his agency and accomplishments.

Honerva gets what she fucking deserved because she did shitty things and hurt a lot of people regardless of her reasons and I hate her (death?? Death.).

Lotor becomes the new emperor of the Galra and with the help of Voltron, the Garrison and the Blade of Marmora the empire becomes a place of peace.

The lions don't just yeet off into the night never to be seen again because the Galra problem might be solved but Voltron was never created exclusively to fight the Galra and the universe definitely still needs them.

Keith spends some time with the Blade of Marmora but isn't away all the time because he still needs to lead Voltron, they still do relief work but also campaign against other evils in the universe as well (and if he can't make it in time for a battle Shiro can always lead the team in his stead because they're co-leaders anyway).

Keith and Shiro don't get married but are in a happy relationship. In their free time they travel around the universe and explore new planets.

Allurance wedding because my heart aches for them. They become the leaders of New Altea together along with Coran.

The team does not go their separate ways so much as they go spend time with their families and do some other stuff in between expeditions with Voltron.

I've seen Zero episodes of S8 aside from gifsets and mentions of it but I think the important negative points have been negated now?

If someone wants to write something for this go ahead please do I would but I don't have the time so here are my notes in case anyone is interested in seeing them. This idea just came to me one day and I had to jot it down lmao.

I would like to inform you all that my son is still the best boy

His name is Jazz and he has anxiety but he's a little more confident lately. He goes bonkers for light reflected off of things and enjoys cheese (he only gets tiny amounts of it) but not all cheese, only ones with sharper flavours like old cheddar.
