Lance: was literally subjected to just being Allura’s boyfriend and had no other role in the season and never gets to move on with his life and get closure
Allura: had an arc outside of Lance but the trade off was that she had to fucking die and not get the happy ending she deserved
In conclusion, vld writers are not allowed to touch poc ever again
his family calls the paladins so they can help him
but no one really knows what to say
in one moment, lance and keith are alone
and keith tells him “look lance, i know how you feel, really, after my dad died… i didn’t really wanted to do anything, but i knew that he wouldn’t want me to feel like this, so i did what i thought he would want me to do”
and this actually helps lance
he started going to altea to help the alteans rebuilt, and get comfortable, etc
and like this he got so much better!
he started planting altean flowers in earth and helping his family with their farm
but every time he looked at himself at the mirrow and saw his altean marks, he just got sad
one day keith notice, and ask lance to tell him about how he felt
and can you imagine??? emo keith asking lover boy lance about opening up and talk about fellings??
lance just started laughing
it was the first time in a while that he smiled like that
it made keith really happy
and they just started talking, first about allura, then about the future, now that voltron is not needed, and they had their second bonding moment
even if they kinda took different ways, they always tried to hang with each other
but THE MOMENT was when shiro got engaged
keith ask lance to help him with the outfit (he is the best man, of course) and they are just going around the mall when lance says “i would love to get marry one day” and keith smiles and says “i’m sure you will one day”
but lance is like yeah sure with who
keith: “lance, you are an incredible person, there are a lot of people in the galaxy who would be really lucky to meet you”
and lance just can’t breath
give him a sec ok
why does he feel like this?? it’s just keith
but ok ok everything is fine
and the the wedding day comes
and oh my
lance becomes an emotional mess
on one side he is sad because he can’t help thinking about the life he could have had with allura
and shiro notice this and goes to talk to him like the space dad he is
he asks him how he is and lance is all “i’m great! what about you? beautiful day for a wedding i’m so happy for you”
shiro smiles and says “when adam died, i thought that there was no love for me in the world. with the war and all, i never could mourn him, i thought that was it for the love life! but it wasn’t. i just wanted to tell you to not give up on love, that’s what allura would have wanted”
lance knows he is right, but he just can imagine who he could be with
the dance beggings and everyone rushes to the dance floor
lance wasn’t in the mood for dancing
keith walk to where he was and told him “hey, wanna dance? someone said that the best dancer gets a special gift, and you are a good dancer”
suddenly lance wants to dance
lance: “i haven’t practice in a while, but i’m sure it will be enough to win, let’s do it!”
he sounds so exited
keith is so happy
lance thinks that maybe, there was one person he could be with
they dance all night, and later lance would find out that there was no special gift
it was a lie that keith never regret telling
they started dating a few months after that
lance went to allura’s grave to tell her
he felt that she was happy for him
and she was
i had to get that out of my heart season eight has murder me
so voltron really did make their 1 (one) latino character a fucking farmer (???) traumatized and alone with no big arc like the rest of the cast and their 1 (one) black woman character who survived genocide fucking die to redeem her oppressors. the only groundbreaking aspect of voltron is its ability to disappoint us more than we could have ever anticipated each season. what a blight on my life
Yes, it is. They stated that no account will be deleted, only adult contents will be oscured and and made private. But it’s not what is happening.
Tumblr is shadowbanning all visual artists, no matter if they have NSFW or SFW material on their blogs. And this is mainly damaging the visual artists in the fandoms. The proof? Until some time ago, typing “Johnlock” in the dashboard search bar, I had among the popular results, tons of fanarts from the most famous artists. The fanarts were the most immediate and numerous result of the research, I’m sure you remember this. Now it has completely changed. These are the search results on “Johnlock” search from today. There are almost exclusively text posts, chats, and memes. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against memes or text posts, they are great. The problem is that fanarts, manips, photosets, gifset, and even most of the actors’ photos have disappeared from the research.
Is it strange? Not a result from Anotherwellkeptsecret, Reapersun, Bluebellofbakerstreet? How is it possible? Because Tumblr doesn’t want fandom material on its site anymore, and it doesn’t give a toss if it’s SFW or not. You’re a fandom artist? You are punished by becoming invisible. So much for “SFW content is still allowed,” right? :))) No, in reality it is not. How are users supposed to find new artists to follow, if they’re shadowbanned? How are arists supposed to make themselves known and show their creations, if they can’t be seen? I surely don’t have to remind you that many artists use commissions to pay bills and as a help to live. If they are no longer visible, they will lose commissioners, and even if they don’t do commissions, this attitude of Tumblr will discourage them from creating new art, since they will be invisible. There will be less new contents, less ficlets written under fanarts (if I don’t see the fanart, I can’t write a ficlet inspired by it). We are all losing, due to the new Tumblr policy.
All of this adds up to other forms of boycott that Tumblr is using: – internal research that no longer works: you can no longer explore the tags in a blog, because you do not see any results; – some users don’t appear in the list of the notes to a post, even if they added something; – for many users, their most popular posts are no longer visible under their username and blog title;
Tumblr doesn’t even allow anymore a visual preview of its own links, inside and outside Tumblr:
Besides, there are the old problems this site always had, never solved and now even more serious. The @ function doesn’t work anymore for many of us, and many peole don’t receive notifications from other users who have addressed them specifically. Seeing what the situation is like, I don’t think they have the will to fix any of these errors.
Ultimately, we can also decide to remain here, but it’s clear that the site no longer wants us here, and it’s doing all it can to crush us and make us invisible.
But what can we do to fight back? Not much, I’m afraid. The only thig I can think about, is:
Follow and reblog
FOLLOW AND REBLOG
FOLLOW AND REBLOG
FOLLOW AND REBLOG
FOLLOW AND REBLOG
Make sure you follow all your fave artists before December, 17th, so you can keep track of them, and you can visit their blog directly, if you don’t see them in the search or in the dashboard. And reblog their art, EVER. It could be the only way to save them from the oblivion. Lurkers, readers, writers can be safe, for now, but our artist comrades are under attack. This is the time to show that a fandom is truly a community, giving them all the support we can.
As a form of protest, and since I believe that Tumblr will try to shadowban this post, I have decided that I will punish it every day. Deal with it, @staff 🙂
You’ll also be able to find me on pixiv, which I’ll use as a backup gallery for all my art (sfw & nsfw) from now on.
(If you want to keep track of me on tumblr, my main blog should hopefully still be around after this.)
I should have mentioned that I’m not actively deleting anything, I’m just honestly not sure what’s gonna happen to this blog when the ban hits, since the entire thing is marked as nsfw. If the blog itself stays accessible I’ll post links out to any new art on twitter/pixiv here, at least for a while longer.
I will be posting spoilers after the S8 of Voltron. Wasn’t my initial intend but shit happens. The tag will be #vld S8 spoilers. If you haven’t seen the season yet and care not to get spoiled go blacklist that shit now.
“Alcohol does not directly make people belligerent, aggressive, or violent. There is evidence that certain chemicals can cause violent behavior — anabolic steroids, for example, or crack cocaine — but alcohol is not among them. In the human body, alcohol is actually a depressant, a substance that rarely causes aggression. Marijuana similarly has no biological action connected to abusiveness.”
