Follow Your Passion: A Seamless Tumblr Journey
“Lotor couldn’t breathe.
It was impossible. No woman could have…his thoughts trailed off. Remembering the young girl’s face. The startling beauty of her tears. The soft, vulnerable look she gave him.
If only for a moment.
She truly was beautiful. Beautiful in a way none of his other women were. Beautiful in a way they all aspired to be. Lush lips and a girlish, soft face. Lashes long and feathery against a dotted cheek. He had held her.
Felt her.”

“She was beautiful.
Allura watched as Pidge smiled. The young girl's smile blooming on her face in such a way that she radiated joy and made the whole room bright and warm. A lovely smile Allura had never seen anyone make, let alone sarcastic, bitting Pidge. Immediately, Allura felt a strong surge of pride. She was the one that brought out this inner beauty. Wait a tick! The Altean Princess suddenly had a very, very amazing idea.
"We're not done yet!"
===
Chapter Song: Gabrielle Aplin - Night Bus
“To Pidge, Allura had no reason to envy her. Pidge wasn't a princess nor the spearhead for the Defenders of the Universe. Pidge wasn't all charm and regality nor was she as lovely as Allura. She was just a small, stubborn cog in the system.
Nothing special.
But Allura? She was special, amazing at every given opportunity. She was a freaking alien princess for God's sake. Not only that, she had some sort of weird Altean magic mumbo jumbo abilities. She single handedly organizes all their diplomatic dealings. Needless to say, Allura was fucking amazing. Pidge wasn't.”
===
Chapter Song: The Script - Breakeven
“The Galran female winced as her mind accidentally brought Laila back into her thoughts. Shiro began shaking with silent sobs, like a child crying after getting scared by a monster. Sifair just held him. Letting him release all his tears onto her shoulder.
Laila was better at this.
When Sifair had crashed to the ground on her hover bikes, Laila was there to heal the wounds and hold her through the tears. When Sifair had killed legions of creatures who threaten the old Empire, Leila was there to help her keep her resolve. But not anymore. Laila's been dead for thousands of years. Killed by Altean hate and prejudice. Burned like the Witch they called her. Now, as Sifiar held the weeping Black Paladin of Voltron, they lived in a world without Laila. A world without the sane creature she made Zarkon. A world without her warmth.
A world without her golden eyes.”
===
Chapter Song: He is We - Kiss it Better
“Truthfully, Lance was here to understand Keith. But not as a leader. Truthfully, Lance couldn't care less that Keith was leading them now. Because who would want Lance as a leader anyway? Perks of being a seventh wheel, he thought bitterly.
No.
Lance was here for love.
Deny it as he might. Lance couldn't refuse the gravitational pull that slingshots him to Keith every time they so much as see each other. Not anymore, anyway. Lance could even pin-point the exact moment he realized his budding feelings.”
===
Chapter Song: dodie - Sick of Losing Soulmates
“Matt's heart twisted.
He missed his family. He missed his dad's corny jokes. His mother's constant humming. His sister's...well, he missed everything about Katie. He missed their fights over cereal. Their walks home from the Garrison. Their way of understanding each other in a way no one ever could.
Matt squeezed his eyes shut.
She was only 14 when he left on that damned mission. She must be at least 16 or, God forbid, 18. He missed her whole life. Her whole life that was supposed to be filled with her breaking every boundary and obstacle that stood in her way because she was Katherine Goddamn Annalise Holt and the world was her's for the taking.
Or, that's how it should've been.”
===
Chapter Song: Fall Out Boy - Jet Pack Blues
“His heart pumped faster.
Blood started spurting out faster out of his chest as a disastrous consequence. But the man didn’t care. He never had cared for consequences.
Not when it came to her.
Her voice, so painfully familiar and free of pain, suddenly made him want for Death. So then, at the very least, he could be with her once more. His weary eyes, scoured the endless field of flowers like a man starved.
And starved he was.
Just once, he wanted to see her just once more. And…he did. His eyes clung to her in the distance as they once did so long ago. The man let out a breath he held in for thousands of years.
There she was.”

OH GOD I NEARLY DID AN ALL-NIGHTER TO GET THIS DONE!!!
So after AO3 deleted more than HALF of this Chapter, I decided to step up and re-write it all. I apologize if it may not be the best, but I do cover some very important questions and topics.
Like how Season 3 kicked Golden Madness’s butt and just how complicated things are going to get. Along with even more questions.
Special thanks to @coffee-your-teapot for helping me with some points of confusion.
As usual I’d like to tag my wonderful readers @olkarianprincess @lotidge @galacticlee @risingpheonix527 @strugglingtoast and @thechocolateobssessed-blog-blog so that they can witness the utter chaos I’ve created.
Love you guys!!!
After watching the heartbreaking, tearjerking finale of Voltron Legendary Defender, it gave me time to think about the future of the Paladins + Coran. Specifically their bloodlines.
Now we don't know much about the biology of the Galra species but we can assume that they have longer lifespans than humans. Lotor has lived for a very long time (long enough that he could establish a colony and see generations of said colony) and Zarkon has survived 10 000+ years with the likely help of quintessence. That being said, who’s our favourite half-galra paladin of Voltron? Mr emo boi Keith Kogane himself.
Now this got me thinking. Under the assumption that Galra do live longer than humans, this means that Keith could quite possibly outlive the rest of the paladins and many of those he considers friends.
Another thing. We also don't know much about the biology of the Altean species but we can assume that they also live longer than humans. There’s no specific amount of time that the original paladins of Voltron served, but assuming that King Alfor had to plan and construct all five lions which could take a long time, then be one of the paladins and have a daughter who grew into a young adult, we can assume that Alteans have a longer lifespan. That being said, who’s our original Altean and our somewhat Altean? Coran and Lance.
Now Coran, being slightly older, may not outlive Keith perhaps but Lance is a different situation. We don’t exactly know what happened to Lance when Allura (R.I.P.) turned him into an Altean. Did she just give him the face marks? Did she completely alter his bloodline and biology? We don't know and we may never know for sure. But if she did alter his biology, then we can assume that he lives a longer.
Now here comes the hurt.
Obviously the paladins don’t live forever. There will be at some point that a paladin doesn't make it to the annual Allura (R.I.P) day dinner at Altea because they passed. Soon they just start disappearing one by one. And who’s left? Coran (possibly) but if we are going along with this theory, Keith and Lance will be the only ones left.
If Coran was the only one left, it'll be just like the beginning. Just him and Allura (R.I.P.) alone. But this time Allura’s (R.I.P.) a statue. Coran, being alone at the statue of the person he swore to protect and had come to protect the paladins that have gone before him.
Now if Lance was the only paladin left, he’d be alone at the statue of the love of his life without his friends, the people who always had his back and he always had theirs. The people he had so selfless protected now gone and well, I imagine he'd be feeling a little lost.
If Keith was the last one left, then he’d be alone at the statue like a lone wolf once again like he was at the start of the series and without the people he’s has come to let into his life and place his trust in. The people he’s come to accept as a family and put down his barriers for but now they're gone and he's alone again just like he was years ago.
Well this was slightly emotional. oops.

Even in the darkest moments of your life remember that you're not alone, you just need to never stop searching for those people that will care for you and accept you for who you are.
It's been a year since the shooting in Orlando and we need to remember those who died that night, we need to think about their families and friends who will never stop mourning them, and while thinking about it we need to do our best to never let something like that happen again. That kid that keep telling gay jokes? Don't yell at them, talk to them, try to make them understand why what they're doing is wrong and if they don't listen keep trying. People can change, it's hard to accept and it's even harder to forgive, but we need to try for our own good.
I’ve chosen to draw Lance because it was Latino Night at the Pulse when it happend and many of the victims where Latino boys. It’s something we mustn’t forget.
