THE FACT THAT PEOPLE ARE MAKING VOLTRON AUS BASED OFF OF MOVIES I ADORED AS A KID (and still do now) PUTS ME IN SUCH A GOOD MOOD. LIKE I'VE SEEN LILO AND STICH, TANGLED, THE LITTLE MERMAID AND THERES TINKER BELL, HTTYD, AND NOW I FOUND ELLA ENCHANTED. THERE'S PROBABLY MORE BUT THOSE ARE JUST AT THE TOP OF MY HEAD. SOMETHING ABOUT COMBINING FAVOURITE MOVIES WITH VOLTRON IS JUST EXCITING.

I need a make own fanart/fanfic voltron au dgkkgd

Ummm.... Lightning? If you have the time and have motivation and are also into it... could you write something about that AU (you last reblogged)? 🥺 It sound so intetesting and full if potential 🥺

Hi, anon! Oh gosh, was this about mionart’s super awesome pic, with the description of “AU where the paladins didn't leave Lotor to die in the Rift, but disappeared after the explosion for three years together”? This one? Because that is a really amazing AU idea, and I love it too! 

I needed more Lotor + platonic paladin shenanigans/friendship in my life, and if they all got stuck having to work together for three years to get back home, that would have been prime real estate for quality crack content. And probably some angst too, given the circumstances of how they got stuck in the rift to begin with. 

Crack and angst? Crangst? 

If mionart doesn’t mind, I could try my hand at a little drabble for the idea! Since it’s their idea, I respectfully request @mionart‘s permission to write a short drabble inspired by their art! And depending on their answer, I’ll see what I can do. :)

Thanks for the note!

How Voltron should’ve ended

Pardon the text post, but I needed to make a brain dump of everything that I wanted to see happen in VLD. May add or delete later, but without further ado, here is:

What I expected / wanted to happen in Voltron: Legendary Defender

At least a season of Team Lotor hijinks (like Azula and Ozai’s Angels) before falling out

Estranged generals join the Blade of Marmora

...And finally have a heart wrenching reunion where they reconcile with Lotor *feels*

Keith and Axca are siblings! Yay!

* Evil Altean Empire returns! And they’re more scary than the Galra ever were because they have evil space magic and brainwashing! Yikes!

Paladins meet their evil twins from another reality? Evil Voltron?

Big Bad turns out to be the entities coming from the corrupted quintessence - and they’ve been using Hagar and Zarkon as puppets of evil, and only Voltron is the only thing that can stop them, which is why Zarkon is so intent on capturing Voltron from Season 1

You know how the Galra War was big? Well that was fish sticks compared to the ACTUAL interdimensional war between one group of entities trying to stop the evil entities from gobbling up all the quintessence in every reality

You know how Alfor felt like the comet ore was engineering itself? *George Tsoukalos hands* ✋ENTITIES🤚

* MFEs transformer/combine into robots and get a WHOLE FLEET of kickass fighter jets (seriously, this was such a missed opportunity smh)

Also, after the showdown on Earth, everyone scrambles to build better defenses using a combination of Arusian, Earth, and Altean engineering

Haggar/Honerva is now fully self-aware but chooses to join the evil entities because Evil is Fun

Team Voltron meets and fights alongside original Paladins (which happened, but not in the Finale)

Finale is a giant mecha teamup between Voltron, Team Lotor, Atlas, and MFEs against the Final Boss Evil Entities

For the Finale:

I truly detest “just a dream” endings, but LOVE bittersweet endings with heroic sacrifices. If done right, this is how the finale could’ve gone down:

a bittersweet restart ending where Team Voltron has to alter the original reality so that 10,000 years of war never happened, but that means they never would have met and formed Voltron.

Altea and Daibazaal would still exist, but idk if everyone would retain their memories of their past lives

OR they could pull a Lost Light 25 - make a happy reality where that happens, but also keep their own reality, which they worked so hard to protect (I like this option the best - let’s go with that)

On a less dramatic note, I also wanted this to happen:

Team Punk does it again. And again. And again. Nothing can stop these chaotic good nerds

Adam doesn’t die

Cannon Lotura

And of course

Cannon Klance

Darker options I thought they’d take for season 8:

Lotor fuses with his sincline mecha, becoming an eldritch weapon like the ultimate monster Keith and Krolia released, but much more evil

Using his powerful new form, he’s able to pierce realities and becomes a quintessence-havresting warlord even worse than Zarkon

Eventually he teams up with the evil Altean Empire and Dragon Mecha Warlord LOTOR becomes the Final Boss

Maybe Honerva finds him and is like, o shite guess I’ll join too

Honestly at that point, the protagonists are screwed. Gonna need an interdimensional entity like Bob to lend a hand here

Every fic writer after s7: *rolling up their sleeves* I have to do every fucking thing myself

Vampire AU, Lance is a vampire, Keith is a clueless human. They meet at the bookstore when Keith is looking into cryptids and Lance wants to buy (also a vampire) Hunk a book about vampires so they can laugh at all the humans’ misconceptions about vampires.

They chat about Mothman (Keith: “definitely real!”) and vampires, which Keith seems  to have a low opinion of, which of course Lance takes Very Personally.

Tl;Dr they become friends, they fall in love etc. Keith is super clueless about Lance & Hunk being vampires for forever because as our boy showed last season w/ his mom he is Oblivious AF. (Lance finds this hilarious and increasingly obvious puns which Keith doesn’t get until Hunk finally cracks and tells him)

BUT Keith is sick. So the question of turning him comes up. Lance tells him that turning someone is extremely taboo but won’t explain exactly why or what it entails; Keith quickly abandons the notion.

But then he’s dying. Lance decides to turn him and asks Keith if he still wants it. He does. So Lance bites himself in the arm and tells Keith to drink his blood, drink and drink until he feels satisfied, “and keep your eyes shut the entire time”.

What Lance didn’t tell Keith is that a long time ago, an old mage put a curse on all vampire kind in order to stop vampirism from spreading; to turn another, you had to give them all of your life force.

So Keith drinks and drinks, and Lance’s body dries up more and more, and because right now there is only the strange taste of vampire blood, when Keith opens his eyes there is nothing left of Lance but a pile of ashes.
