Like a block of sculpted marble, Lotor sat there numbly, frozen in the same fetal pose, a mere reflection of his state of mind.

  The myriad of “what if”s tormenting his mind became one final, singular inquiry that rammed at the gates of his consciousness, threatening to break its integrity and throw him into a deep state of paranoia.

  “No, this can’t be,” his consciousness kept replying, gatekeeping his sanity.

  One single question and its stubborn answering counterpart wrestled each other like titans, in a monumental clash that abolished his senses into numbness.

  It took the little wiggly creatures in front of him quite some time to figure out how to snap him out of it.

“Perhaps we are looking at this the wrong way…” Lotor brushed a knuckle over his lips. Sitting down on the floor, next to Colt and the princess, he darted a glance at her with the corner of his eye. “Allura,” he fully turned towards her and extended his open palm, “I believe we have a way to weaken him.”

  “What do you have in mind?” she gazed suspiciously at his large palm. In their past life, he’d piloted that cursed Sincline quite expertly, actually. Had she not possessed the alchemic knowledge of Oriande, Sincline would have taken down Voltron, for sure.

  He must have had some insightful ideas… What did he come up with?

  “Come, let’s try it,” he got up on his knees and again, courteously offered his hand to help her stand up.

  “Try what?” she frowned with a bit of impoliteness.

  Lotor laid his palms on his thighs and leaned closer to her, with an impish smile. His fangs glinted dangerously in the blue lights.

Voltron Legendary Defender Lotura fanfic

Dos Santos: The initial idea behind this incarnation of Lotor was that you wanted to be able to look back on everything he said and see that there was a hint of truth to everything; every manipulation that he had, there was a hint of truth there. Maybe he snaps at the end, but when he’s pleading with Allura, if she had said, “Alright, let’s do this,” I believe he would have been like, “Okay, great! This is working out. Plan’s coming together.”

Montgomery: Lotor is a product of his upbringing and he grew up in the Galra Empire, so his method for going about things may not be as beautiful and peaceful as the Alteans, but his intentions were true. The funny thing is, had Allura reacted differently, it could have been an extremely different ending. But emotions were high and what Lotor did was unacceptable to her, so…

(This interview took place before the release of S7.)

I believe we were supposed to get exactly that extremely different ending, not in S6, but in S8, as a final reveal.

As I postulated in this meta, Lotor was possibly making use of the Entity by getting the Alteans on the second colony to accept it inside themselves, gain its powers and be capable of protecting their planet, purify raw quintessence and more.

In the final season, under the guidance of either Lotor or the Entity itself, Allura basically reaches the same conclusion, that in order to defeat Honerva, she needs to take the entity inside herself, to become one with the entity. Ta-daa! And that’s why LM says “the funny thing is…” because she knew exactly what that funny thing was and, later on, they would actually circle back to that same thing. And it would make sense from what JDS explains as well: “plan’s coming together”. That was the plan. To beat Honerva with her own weapon.

And it’s not pointless to talk. Even after almost 4 years since it ended, I think it’s still worth talking and sharing.

It makes me happy to know new fans to VLD are watching and coming up with similar conclusions some of us fans have come up with. So keeping the conversation and sharing thoughts and ideas is important imho. :3

I’ll admit, it hurts reading those interviews and it still takes some time to digest it. lol But i have to put my feelings aside from that time (for me at least since S6 broke me bad and then S8 happened lol) and look at it with fresh new lenses today. Lotor was absolutely robbed of his arc. (Allura, and many others.)

Queen Elizabeth II was an incredibly popular monarch. She was clever and cunning and played her apolitical political role well, taking care to remain in the good graces of the public. It is NOT a coincidence that while monarchies all around Europe toppled, Britain never once seriously looked at getting rid of their Queen.

This is not true of Charles. He is not as well liked. He does not have the benefit of longevity - most people alive have known the Queen as their monarch their whole lives, and have never seen the monarch change. Kicking a little old lady off the throne after what many people have seen as years of service to her country was a relatively unpopular proposition, but the same is not true of of a man who people aren’t all that fond of, and who doesn’t hold the position.

If you’re on tumblr you’re probably very aware of the questionable past and present of the British throne - and if you’re British or a member of a commonwealth state, now is the time to start talking about it. The monarchy is never going to be overthrown while Queen Elizabeth is still alive, but on her death… well, it’s pretty much fair game.

So instead of just celebrating on your blog, go out and talk about the monarchy. Sow seeds of revolution. Talk about the racism of the royal family. Talk about the racism inherent in the system, and the very personal racism that Megan Markle exposed. Talk about how it isn’t fair that in a unilateral society based on principles of equality, we have not just a monarch but an entire class of people who are born into titles. Talk about how the royal family hoard wealth, how their modern wealth has come from their past subjects, as well as the burden on tax payers. Talk about how unfit they each are for their positions. How you don’t like Charles, or don’t want him as king. Talk about how outsiders are treated - Megan, Diana.
