Voltron Friendship Initiative

We are always stronger together

[positivevoltron]

The Positive Voltron Network is a collaborative effort between many fans who wish to end the amount of harassment seen in the Voltron Fandom. To do this we are fostering a community of positive people who reject harassment and wish to promote change. This fandom is very divided, and we wish to heal the rift many experience.

Positive Voltron blogs will be sourced from positive sources only. Positive Sources must be two things: against harassment and inclusive of all. If you exclude or harass one group of people from a fandom we will not support you no matter what side of the discourse you sit on. A fandom is meant to be fun for everyone. However, we recognize that because of the nature of this fandom some people may be hesitant to take part in something that lets all participate. If you are scared of coming across certain kinds of content please know we will be setting up safeguards to prevent that.

We will be tagging all works accordingly and will not feature NSFW posts on any of our blogs. If in the future there is a request for a NSFW blog, we may set one up, but for now there will be no NSFW. We will also not be featuring any ship content on character blogs. All shipping related things will be held on their respective blogs only.

If you are interested in running a blog, joining our discord, or signing up to be a part of our Positive Sources list and Affiliates. (Which you can all do here!) The best way you can show your support is by following this blog and check back for updates and events. Thank you for taking the time to read about the Positive Voltron Network!

My beauty. Making me choose is like making Lance choose one girl to hit on.

It ain’t happening. Lance has a lot of love to share.

For the Voltron Ask Meme: Weblum (mine is Greening the Cube) and Space Mice (mine are amphipods and crows)!

Hello!!!! “Greening the Cube” was one of my favorites, too! Pidge is absolutely incredible. We just barely answered the Weblum question here!

Space Mice: What are your favorite animals?

Ohhh are you ready for this? Hahaha axolotls, any large cat, chameleons, owls, turtles, penguins, spiders, foxes, otters, koi, and frogs. Also the space caterpillars. One of these is not like the others. —Mod Marmorite

Kitty-like, Galra Keith Cheetahs, especially as cubs. They’re so fuzzy and cute and can run fast. —Mod Eris

I’m not really one to pick favorites in that regard. If I have to chose I’d say cats, dogs and horses. but really I find something to like about almost all animals.  —Mod Kairos

Blade of marmora and weblum for the ask meme!❤

Hey, star! Thanks for the ask! Mod Kairos isn’t on right now, but she’ll add her answer later!

Blade of Marmora: Who has the best character design? 

Not to be dramatic or anything but I would Die for Shiro. His character design is my favorite im blushing I love hugging tall people and Shiro would be the best at hugs. —Mod Marmora

Keith, Keith, Keith, Keith Keith. I like his fashion sense, despite people trashing it. Also, dark-haired guys in red is A+ in my book. And the Marmora suit… hot dang, is A+++++. The fact he’s short also endears me to him. We can be the shortest power couple to take over the world. —Mod Eris 

Weblum: What is your favorite Voltron episode?

“Across the Universe.” Pidge is boss (also space floofs?? incredible), Allura and Coran’s moments were hilarious, and Keith helped Shiro out ahhh save him. —Mod Marmorite

“Blade of Mamora.” It was the first time I really felt something for one of the characters after “Crystal Venom.” The depth and conflict made me want to hug Keith the characters and protect them from the world. —Mod Eris

Send us an ask and we'll answer! We're excited to make friends :) —Mod Marmorite

We’ve been pulling the networks together, getting teary-eyed about all you nice people, and smoothing out all the bumps in the initiative. Now we’re ready to HAVE FUN!

You may have already read our about page, but I need a moment to brag about the two excellent mods that agreed to help out. 

Kairos has been our resident cryptid mod so far because I keep hoarding the asks sorry but, true to her name, she has been very key in the decisions for this initiative. She’s got sound advice and keeps me from flinging myself through the ozone by presenting 600 better methods to accomplish things. Truly incredible.

Eris adds roughly 300% more personality to this blog than it would have had if I ran this by myself. She’s energetic and great with compliments. She’s always willing to get excited about things with me. I admit she’s a bit sassy but it’s hilarious and lighthearted.

The mods are a part of the friendship initiative, too. We’re here and ready to interact! Send us asks so we can get to know each other! :)

[voltronfriendshipinitiative]

Alright (ahem, the right way to spell it, Marmora Amoura—the grammar geek in me got a heart attack for that, thank you). 

Because Marmora Amoura—Mod Marmorite—is too modest for her own good, I shall brag about her because she’s the one who came up with this initiative and dragged my sorry butt into it (I say drag, but really she asked me nicely). Without her, there’d be no initiative and I’m honestly so happy to have bonded with her through it. She’s a huge sweetheart and such a fun person to talk to. I hope you guys meet someone like her and live on her legacy, through this initiative.

Keep safe and have fun, my beauties.

—Mod Eris

[voltronfriendshipinitiative]

I'm still not sure how this works, as a new fan, the fandom actually look pretty 'closed' but this sounds quite wonderful and I hope to meet tones of people so thank you for doing this

Hello, my beauty (y’all are my beauties, so better get used to it). 

First off, welcome to the fandom! We have great art, theories, and a buttload of drama. But judging by how many people reached out to the initiative, the last bit may originate from what I and the mods hope is a minor few—and, of which, should not generalize the whole fandom.

If that’s the case, and I and the other mods believe so, I hope you make loads of new friends in the fandom, anon, because I will tell you I did and now the mods can’t shut me up. I think you’ll have fun and meet some really great people. Heck, I will even be your first friend because I need someone new to annoy. 

In all seriousness, welcome and thanks for the thanks! I hope we come through for you and other people! Stay safe and continue to fan on.

Why hello, my beauties.

First off, I want to say thank you for joining the initiative and spreading the word! It’s heartwarming to see Voltron fans willing to befriend other Voltron fans, despite differing points of views. You guys are awesome and I—as well as the other mods—can’t wait to work with you!

Just a few heads-up:

Our About Us page is done, as is our About the Initiative page. If you have questions on either pages, or on the overall initiative, send us an ask.

We’ll start adding to the lists tonight, so check out our homepage menu for them. Know this will take time, so please be patient with us. 

In our networking posts, we mentioned DMing us information if you’re interested in the initiative. We’re new at this, so we didn’t know sideblogs don’t DM. So asks are the only way to secretly send info over—but off of anonymous so we know, of course.

That’s it for now and once again thank you. Let’s make this a fun experience!

What do you mean by discourse? I know it might sound dumb but I'm not sure I fully grap the concept.

Actually, star, this is a very pure ask. It’s not dumb at all and thanks for having us clarify!

Discourse, in general, is fancy for debate. With Voltron, the debates are often about ages and ships. This is the kind of discourse we had in mind when we pulled this together. Theories and headcanons about characters or the show do not fall under discourse—those are a different category. 

Discourse can get heated sometimes, but there are lots of level-headed fans that approach discourse nicely, so don’t worry about our discourse friends! If you still have questions, please ask.
