What about Zarkon/Alfor though? Cause I was watching season 2 with a friend of mine and we started theorizing about relationships between the Galra and the Alteans pre-war and we somehow ended up that Zarkon/Alfor would be a good ship for angst, drama etc. Lots of Theramenes/Critias dynamics (Ancient Greek political figures who used to be close friends but one turned to a tyrant and when the other opposed him, he condemned him to the death penalty and he died saying the saltiest last words ever)
Yes!! Yesyesyesss
Especially after season 2 with all those flashbacks we get from Black that show clearly that Alfor and Zarkon used to be very close. Pair that with Allura’s comment about the “dark history of Voltron” (or whatever I don’t remember the exact quote) and you have the perfect recipe for an absolutely heart wrenching ship *eyeball emoji*
Also “and he died saying the saltiest last words ever” omg now I want to know about Theramenes and Critias
