Voltron Positive Impact Project
After the recent backlash from season 7, @azure-mirror and I were feeling genuinely bummed out and upset from all the hate being directed at the crew. Meg, being the saint and genius that she is, came up with a fun and heartwarming solution that she dubbed the Positive Impact Project (PIP for short!)
Quoting her original post on a separate app directly:
“I actually have a family friend who knows Tim Hedrick. She’s stayed at his beach house on a couple different occasions and hung out with him and his family. So I decided to use that connection to my advantage.
I wanted to thank the vld team for all they have done for the fandom and share some positive comments with them, so I asked my friend if she would do me the huge favor of passing along a message to Tim and the team for me if I wrote one (I figure this worked well so he didn’t have to give up any personal contact to someone who was basically a stranger to him).
So… I’m officially writing a thank you letter to Tim and the team. But I figured what would really make it awesome is if I could gather a bunch of positive comments and thank you’s that I could screen shot them and include them in my message! Show them how many people appreciate them.
So if you wanna help send positivity to Tim, Lauren, Joaquim, Bex, Jeremy, Steven, Josh, Kimberly, Tyler, Rhys, or any other team member please leave a comment and I’ll be including them in my message/email.”
After a bit of discussion and HUGE success on the other platform, Meg and I agreed to put up the same call out here on tumblr. Since I have a larger following than she does, I offered to use it to my advantage.
Reply to this post, reblog this with your comments, spread this to your friends. We want Tim, Lauren, and the rest of the cast and crew to know that the majority of this fandom loves and appreciates them.
You can call out one person who has specifically impacted you, or send a general shout out to everyone. Whatever is most personal to you!
(We do request that you try to keep emoji usage to a minimum, though, lol)
All of the comments will be gathered together and sorted into a massive word document with the others, and sent directly to Tim.
If you have any questions, feel free to message either one of us!!
We plan on putting it all together in full on Friday (8/17), just so there’s a timely order.
Note: please no hate in the comments. If you didn’t enjoy this season, and you can’t say anything nice/you only want to hate on the creators, then this post is not for you. Everyone else, however, is more than welcome!
This project isn’t meant to discredit anyones concerns about certain aspects within the season. However, the manner in which some fans have shown their upset is harmful to the mentality of fans and staff alike and its because of this that we felt it was important to show the staff that there are many fans out there who still love and appreciate the work that they do.
