Rules: tag 9 people you want to get to know

I was tagged by my wife @scottspack !!!!

Last song listened to: Last Dinosaurs - Happy!

3 ships: I’m gonna talk about how i’ve been sucked in haikyuu much deeper than I anticipated LMAO -

kuroken: look, listen. childhood best friends to lovers is my ultimate trope that i love. here’s the first one - kuroo - older and like a nagging mother sometimes, but incredibly in tune to kenma, even though everyone else thinks kenma is hard to read. he LITERALLY LOOKS LIKE THIS WHILE THINKING OR TALKING ABOUT KENMA.

i find their dynamic so interesting because they are bOTH incredibly caring and intuitive of each other. like kenma, who is obviously not physically strong and would rather play video games continues to play volleyball because he knows it means a lot to kuroo? kuroo knows that kenma puts his heart and soul into things he actually likes - anyway god. they’re in love it’s fine.

iwaoi: YES ANOTHER! CHILDHOOD BEST FRIENDS SHIP FROM HAIKYUU, EXCEPT SPICIER. they’re a month apart and have known each other their whole lives. oikawa is incredibly complex and fickle and the charismatic type who is actually very insecure. has a kind of shitty personality bc he’s so flirty and egotistical LMAO but is a good person who works VERY hard to be the best setter. his best friend, iwaizumi is the slightly gruff, angery type but is the only one who can pull tooru back down to earth. like a loyal dog type. i just love fickle x steadfast and these are they.

wangxian: ok like they’re not on my backburner. i’m in fact, rewatching it from the top once again for the 10? time? but this time with a bunch of people and they. are just. their deep LONG PINING LOVE JUST. CONTINUES. TO . PIERCE MY SOUL.

Currently reading: look im not rly reading much of anything LMAO. IM SORRY OT MY WIFE WHO COMPILED MY UNTAMED FICS! i’m not even really reading hq fics except for 1 fic that i have reread like 3 times because it’s so good. i’m a re-reader bc i currently need comfort hahahahhahaha

Currently watching: haikyuu!!, pen15 s2 WHICH IS? VERY SAD? THIS EASON? WHAT THE FUCK, schitts creek - vaguely watched s6 via my sister watching it a room over. i watched the last episode i guess.

Currently consuming: i just ate homemade congee bc my sister has COVID! so i made her fish congee and a chocolate.

Currently craving: oh to have a new york bagel

uhhh oh man im gonna tag @newleafover and @orvillepecks

#tag game #abt me

my thoughts on s8

Ever since Friday, all I’ve been seeing on Tumblr is most people hating on this last season of Voltron.

While I understand some of the criticisms people are making (and even having some others myself) I did enjoy this season. After rewatching the whole thing yesterday, I now have a clearer idea of what I think about it, so I’ll be leaving my thoughts under the read more.

I just wanted to say that, liking it or not, I’ve had an amazing two years watching these characters grow and this story developing. Voltron made me want to start writing again, made me start drawing fanart for the first time ever, and made me want to connect with so many people on this website. Some of the best friends I’ve known I met because of our shared love for this series, and I’m forever thankful for that.

I’d like to continue my journey here with the least amount of negativity as possible. Even if the show did not correspond 100% with what I would have liked, I think that’s where the beauty of fanfic lies in.

Voltron is one of my favorite series ever. Is it perfect? No. There are inconsistencies, plot holes, some arcs that are rushed and not well thought maybe. But the world building, the characters, the story, it all made me fall in love with it. The creators and voice actors seem like genuinely amazing people, and I’m forever thankful for this reboot Even if it’s not perfect, even if there’s a lot I don’t agree with (and not only this season, I mean the entire thing), I still think it’s terrible that people are harassing the staff the way they are, and the way they have been from early on.

I like to enjoy my quiet and peaceful and respectful place in this fandom for a reason. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, of course, but voicing them thoughtfully and respectfully is a very different thing from bullying and insulting the staff, and everyone else who might have diferent thoughts. I will continue writing fanfic for this series for as long as it brings me joy, and having this blog and interacting with my followers here has brought heaps of happiness in some very troubling and sad times for me. All in all, the series is finished, and I can honestly say, I had a very good time watching it.

So my thoughts are:

> on Allurance: I started shipping it since s5, and even harder after s6. I think they had an awesome development throughout the whole thing, and I was so happy to see them dating right away on episode 1. We had the oportunity to see a bit of their relationship, and their moments were adorable. Lance was so worried, so supoortive and caring, and it brought out the best of him.

> on the Zarkon/Honerva/Lotor backstory: I’m really glad everything was explained in much more depth. I’ve started to feel a very deep compassion for these three that I didn’t have before, and Lotor’s death hit me much harder now that we got his and Honerva’s full backstory. Very cool of Voltron to have these three complex and well developed villains. I now want to write more for Lotor ahah

> on Allura’s sacrifice: I can’t say I was surprised, after those leaks came out with her statue in the back, but oh man, especially aftet that goodbye scene, it was a hard blow. I loved it storywise, but I feel so sad for Lance. Allura was never a character I really connected with as much as let’s say, Keith, especially for the first couple of seasons. I think it was only after s3 that she started growing a little on me, but even after that, she was always kind of indifferent to me (idk man, sometimes you just click with other characters more), but for some reason, I always did enjoy her arcs in the series - her journey on becoming a paladin, her struggle in accepting that not all Galra were evil and not all Alteans were good, the Oriande alchemy thing, her brief romance with Lotor, her slow burn romance with Lance, and this final sacrifice. It is always upsetting to see your favorite character go, I can understand that, but you cannot deny that she had a good run. A good story.

> on the ending: that’s where most of my criticism would come. I’m pretty sure that most of those stills after the credits were added at last minute, and on one hand, I would have liked it to just end with that final scene of them saying goodbye to the lions during the night. It felt like an amazing open end, with very beautiful and inspiring imagery. Concerning the stills, I’m a little torn - Pidge’s and Hunk’s ending felt adequate (and oh my God, Matt’s hair is so adorable, I don’t care what people say, I love him with any hairstyle). Keith’s ending, and the Blades becoming an humanitarion organization felt a bit off to me. It just doesn’t seem like the kind of work the Blades and Keith would engage in. As for Lance’s ending, I’m still considering it - I don’t mind it too much, but I still would have liked him to be happy with someone else, and end up doing something with a little more... action in it. I think my ideal ending for him and Keith would be for them to end up as instructors at the Garrison, or carrying on with whatever was needed in space. Being role models for the next generation would fit them both so well, and I would have loved to see that. Shiro’s ending was one that was very clearly a last minute addition, and that’s mostly what made me not like it. I can understand him wanting to step away from the action and rest (even though I would have prefered an ending similar for what I described for Keith and Lance), but just pairing him up with Curtis felt like a very rushed and not well thought move. I also missed a lot of Keith and Shiro interactions, I felt there were barely any this eason, and it saddens me a lot. I’m not a hardcore Sheith shipper, and I’m not even a hardcore shipper in Voltron, because I think there are so many good pairings that I find it hard to find one to cling to, but platonically or romantically, Shiro and Keith’s dynamic is one of my favorites, and this last season was definitely lacking. I did love that picture with all of them grown up. It was beautiful and heartwarming, and Allura’s absence still hurts a little, but I loved it all the same.
