First off, I really want to thank you for asking about this. Not just because season 8 is... such a thing, but because I appreciate that you're being mindful of the rest of the cast. Definitely a good note to be starting out on!

I'm playing Allura from further back than the other paladins -- she's from end of Season 4, because letting her pick up Altean Alchemy and then taking it away seemed very cruel. I will also be upfront and let you know that I have other plans re: shipping, just in case you're not interested in playing out the drama of him loving and then losing Allura. On the other hand, I do want to play with themes of fighting predetermination, and if you're game, then there's a lot that late canon Lance could actually do to play into that.

I hope this helps and that I'm not making this too difficult!

[icyhotpaladin]

Yeah, Allura was the big factor of "Would this be okay?" since I wasn’t sure what her canon point was and the last thing I wanna do is make anyone feel forced to play out something that was canon and all that jazz if it wasn’t something they were interested in.

Re:shipping, I actually wouldn’t mind working it out with S8 Lance and S4 Allura! He had already been prepared once to let her go as long as she was happy and since he’ll find out soon enough that she’s from well before he was even a blip on her proverbial love radar, then I think he’ll be able to move on as long as he knows she’ll be happy with whomever you got plans with! I’d rather not derail anything you got going to playing out the potential drama and such would be interesting! I generally don’t have a preferred ship one way or another anyway and refuse to believe he didn’t move on after the S8 drama! It’ll be tough but I think we can make it work without it getting too dramatic lol I’d adore them still being friends and her giving him a hard time and all so c:

Playing with predetermination and such would definitely be super cool too. And no you’re not making it difficult at all! Honestly I’m the one worried about making it difficult given what Voltron gives us to work with ahaha.

Also I keep reading your username as "patricide" and I know it’s just a play in words but I keep sitting here like WHY DID ALLURA KILL HER DAD??? even though I know she didn’t lmao 😂

[patchricide]

she kinda did, though, when she had to patch her digital-dad out of existence, thus setting a precedent of her making big painful sacrifices just to show how ~*strong*~ she is

... I've honestly considered getting a new one, since there's so much more material to work with now, but I've never been able to settle on one I like. That being said, calling Lance icy-hot is perfection.

And I'm loving the sound of this already. Because yes, I absolutely want to keep playing out their friendship — a lot of their fun dynamics seemed to get up and forgotten when the writers decided "okay well they're going to make goo-goo eyes at each other now, we gotta get that sad dramatic ending no one wants".

[icyhotpaladin]

You know I completely forgot about that, see this is why my rewatch binge is gonna be a good thing LOL!

Ahaha thank you! ngl I wish I was that clever but I honestly got it from watching one of the My Hero Academia movies (the only MHA media I’ve ever consumed on behest of a friend lol) and Bakugou calling Todoroki icy-hot due to his powers came back to me when trying to pick a journal name for Lance.

Yaaasss!! I’m always here for friendship shenanigans. I love my ships but playing out friendships is always fun. I hope they can get into trouble (Lance’s fault, no doubt).

[patchricide]

Aah, that's right, I did see that movie! And I believe we even have a Todoroki in the game, so we'll have twice the icy-hots.

By the way, I almost missed it up-thread, but Allura does have Blue with her. Already planning to lead off the TDM thread with that reunion.

Honestly, I'm very relieved to hear it. I'm usually all about shipping, but for Voltron I found myself way more into their found family dynamics. And I know how big shipping is for some of the fans, you know?

[icyhotpaladin]

Also I meant to answer this earlier but work, lol

That makes it a lot easier for Lance to get Red then and not having to choose between the two!

And yeah, I'm definitely all for found family dynamics. Shipping is fun but it's always been a bit hit or miss for a variety of reasons and I'd rather not have it be the focus anyway if we can work it out that way. There's also the less fun but equally viable option of handwaving too, if need be.

[patchricide]

I've been doing a little more thinking. I'm approaching this positively because want to be as positive and enabling as possible. But there are some concerns I still have, and it has to do with some stuff I'm not sure I want to air publicly. Do you mind if I PM you?

[icyhotpaladin]

Yeah, go for it!
