Klance as the Binary Star
(klance 2025!)
This is an expansion and continuation of many of the ideas expressed in my previous meta ‘Chasing the Ghosts of Season 8.’ You may wish to read that first if you haven’t already, though it is not necessary to understand this meta.
Herein is contained all the actual textual evidence I’ve gathered of Voltron Legendary Defender, Season 8 having been edited post-production, as well as a handful of circumstantial conclusions I feel have strong enough textual evidence supporting them to stand up to scrutiny. This is as ship-neutral as I can make it, given a number of the most highly edited scenes are ones that in the edited version of s8 are played as distinctly romantic in nature.

adding highlights to my drawings while not knowing or ignoring where the light source is
so I got into grad school today with my shitty 2.8 gpa and the moral of the story is reblog those good luck posts for the love of god
“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw
Honestly I kind of find the parallels to Alfor to be quite superficial? Like yes, Lance gets the altean broadsword (which, in the end, serves no real purpose), he has a conflicting relationship with Keith/Kuron (who, like you sad, both represent Zarkon in their own way), he loves Allura and eventually gets the same blue altean marks... But then? What was the real reason to make the parallels in the first place? It would make sense if he became New Altea's ruler or Coran's advisor (and thus making a parallel with Keith who is still involved with the Blades and the Galra after the war), or if he inherited Allura's powers, but no, he's a retired and depressed farmer at 20 years old, which makes no sense for his character at all.
I personally believe in the theory that s08 was heavily edited and that a lot of the material involving Lance's character arc was inevitably cut in the end, but still I don't understand what the writers were actually trying to do... And yes, I heard about that cursed "Lance raises baby Allura" concept, thank God they didn't do that.
Not an allurance shipper but always an Allurance defender
But the one thing i can't defend is the writers insisting on the Lance/Alfor parallels specially since they knew (I presume) Allurance was endgame
What was the purpose of that? Why?
Maybe it was for Lauren's cursed idea of bringing Allura back as a baby and have Lance raise her but that honestly makes it like a hundred times worse
All laios ships are good but laios's crush on marcille is very canon and cute.
There's only one person that makes laios act like a blushy teenage boy in love. And that person isn't toshiro, nor is it kabru or chilchuck.
Marcille is the only person who can make him all shy and bashful. And it's downright adorable.
