Seventh Fleet || Commander Morvok

Morvok likes tilfs*

I see my legacy does live on in some minds.

I’m not doing the BDSM test with Morvok -- I don’t have to. For those of you who have been around since I started this blog, you remember my Sindays. You know what he’s done before.

               I noticed in this most recent season of Voltron that (spoiler note) Zethrid’s left eye was white like Morvok’s eyes (/end spoiler note), and it got me thinking – could that be what Galran eyes universally look like when they are blind? After all, we don’t see any other examples of pureblooded Galra who have eyes that look quite like Morvok’s, now do we?

 After brief consultation with Tagnull (@linguistic-galra) regarding Dumariians and their ability to go blind early, plus taking into consideration the long scarring that runs along Morvok’s head (and his peculiar delay in response to actions until someone speaks and tells him what is going on, or something obvious happens, and his reliance on a support device), a new headcanon that will go into effect immediately and change how Morvok interacts with all of you from this point onward has been born:

 Morok is blind. Not just a little blind, but hella blind. He can’t see anything in front of him. He is wholly dependent upon his other heightened senses to assist him in getting by throughout the day, and his hoverdisc that serves as his guide – it feels for him, in a way, and helps him navigate, sends pulses through his body to help him get an almost topographic layout of an area to understand basically what he’s looking at, etc. But he doesn’t see in a traditional sense in the slightest.

 He was going blind faster anyway, but the blow across his head that he refuses to speak about did it in – damaged the cortex too badly and severed the optic nerves. He probably could have them repaired with Galran technology, but something about changing his body makes Morvok uncomfortable.

 And if he can still prove himself to be a capable Commander – while blind and “impaired” by other’s standards – than all the better.

*SLAMS IN AFTER FOREVER*

Guess who’s back?

With Valoren’s successful reboot comes this ‘lil fella -- especially after that three minute clip that Dreamworks released. Look, if that alone wasn’t enough to bring this muse clawing back from the depths, I don’t know what is. He’ll be getting a few updates (namely, his profile will have an update about where he went after scooting tf away, but if you want there is a whole post on that here on this blog regarding his Post S5 content), but Morvok is already functioning and good to go.

As with Valoren, if you were involved in any threads with Morvok or sent him any Asks that you can remember and wanted answered, please let me know and I’ll make sure to keep them. Otherwise, he’s getting a clean-swipe and bill of health to start anew.

Ahh, it’s good to be back.

In regards to Morvok and S5 verses, we break down into two:

 V: Much Needed Vacation is pretty much as that title suggests. It’s pretty much the more “canon” route where Morvok did not show up to Kral Zera. He’s no fool: summons of powerful figures in the Empire or not to vie for the throne, he knows he has made enemies over the many years. Morvok isn’t an idiot: he knows when he is outnumbered and when going into something is beyond foolish. Though there would be an allure to the idea of having a chance at the throne, he is very much so aware that the moment he showed up he would either be laughed out of the sacred lands or physically thrown out by someone larger than himself. (And once Sendak showed up? Heck, he’d really nope right out of there. Not eager for another Death Paw, thank you.)

 He knows that Holtark would back him and fight for his honour if he asked them – but the sacrifice that could potentially come with it would be too great. He works with cunning, not brawn, and the wise plan worked between them would be to stay the fuck away.

 Once the Empire starts going to shit? Given that they are already cast-offs from the Empire itself, there really isn’t much incentive for him to bring the Seventh back to join under Lotor, especially with a past history of dislike. He’s not been present during the fall of the Empire, and we saw how they mocked Sendak for that. I couldn’t imagine Morvok being eager to sign himself up for that.

 Instead, he and the Seventh are doing their own thing, watching from a distance, and gauging what the heck is going on. Possibly from a Resort Planet. With little margaritas that have tiny umbrellas in them.

 And then you have Crack AU…

 V: All According to Keikaku [Crack] is a verse in which Morvok did show up at Kral Zera and slipped in the back while no one was paying much attention to him. He’s small and easily forgotten – and he’s got a freaking hoverdisc that can move him above the crowd for the love of pete – so he waits.

 And bides his time.

 And once all hell breaks loose and everyone is fighting? Once Sendak is distracted by fighting with Lotor, and all the other Commanders are too busy fighting with one another to pay any attention to one little gremlin who doesn’t even come up to their waists? The little fucker just idly hovers right up the steps and lights the damn thing himself.

 Because nowhere in the rule book does it say he has to fight and prove his honour. Even the Architect can’t argue that and pronounces him the new Emperor of the Galran Empire.

DESPAIR

Situations that would usually arouse anger, instead bring about sadness and depressive feelings. You are the sensitive type. You feel pain more than others and will allow thoughts and encounters to fester and eat away at your sanity. Your gentle soul require careful handling.

This is your chance to break my muse. Shatter their confidence, insult them, make them angry, make them cry. | Accepting! 

              The message was not one thatMorvok had been expecting to be greeted with when he returned to his privatequarters after meetings and talks, the smile that had been on his face crumblingand falling instantly as his pale eyes scanned across the letters.

It didn’t surprisehim that the first thing they came at him for was his appearance. Morvok hadlong since gotten used to those slings and arrows since he fought his way intoranks. It wasn’t well understood how his subspecies grew, and that while he…well, there was no way to say that he didn’t carry extra softness over the others, but he was just as strong as someonelither and more “aesthetic” than what he was.

This was just whathe looked like. Did they truly thinkall he did was spend time eating? Morvok scoffed at that thought and shook hishead. As if the Seventh had the rations for that. Everything they had they shared. He ate what his soldiers ate.Nothing more, nothing less. If they starved, they all starved: so was the waythe Seventh had chosen to conduct themselves.

And it worked. Itworked so well.

“Disgrace of theGalra army… Yeah, heard that one many times before.” Morvok sighed as hecarried the message with him, dropping heavily onto the edge of his bed. “’Coward,puppet…’ Definitely more of the normal. But… But how could they just. ..?”

He had no hand inlifting the Seventh? It was all Holtark?

Morvok’s earsdropped slightly as he tossed the pad aside.What if there was some truth in that? Holtark did so much for him and the rest of the Seventh. It wouldn’t surprisehim if the result really was that they had done more single-handedly than hehad.

But then wide-eyedlittle Galra – Like small Potik, embracing him and confessing his adoration andadmiration – wouldn’t come up to him and say those things, would they? Werethey lies, like he suspected? Morvok groaned and tossed the pad further away, puttinghis face in his hands.

‘You’ll be disposed of soon.’

That first one was mean, dang.
