#ezor

Look at how lovingly Ezor stares at the falling Zethrid.

I'm that bored, I guess.

The disparity between 'Lord' and 'witch'; the named and nameless, separated only by an axis of racialisation (though gender doubtless plays into it too), is sobering for all, but I think it's instances like these that drive Acxa specifically to use the honorific 'High Priestess' (only used by the Druids otherwise, if I correctly recall), in tandem with 'Emperor' Zarkon. For Narti, I imagine the mention of Haggar is angering? Narti's dialogue in 3x2 suggests she is egotistical about power, so to hear of Haggar's (given what Haggar likely did to her) would be a cause for irritation.

I imagine all were deeply confused about the word 'today'. Also, I imagine Ezor -- being such a keen judge as she is -- would look down upon Throk's stubborn approach. She, being on Lotor's team, is specialised in finding workarounds. 'Again' stumps her -- after all, at her first taste of discomfort, she stabs Lotor in the back.

So this is probably be the first time this has been said. It's implied that Haggar kept it a secret -- and this recontextualises Lotor's 'my father is on his deathbed, and I'm in control' in 4x1. As in, his Generals probably told him so -- few Galra likely knew the truth behind Zarkon's sudden reclusiveness, and they would not suggest his being weakened by battle as such.

Also, must've been... terrifying(?) to see Zarkon return from death, and then see Lotor kill him. These extremely powerful men, each capable of destroying the other, are always at an arm's distance away.

I think Acxa, given the assumed meritocratic framework she's been brought up with, takes offence at this entitlement -- and Zethrid at the implication that her ambition is less deserving of reward.

This one would be funny to Narti, I think. Given its untruth. Lotor is a very lonely type of fighter. Ezor and Zethrid would be made pretty uncomfortable by it; Acxa would pretend she doesn't hear.

This is angering, obviously. Perhaps saddening in some respects, but I think that -- apart from Ezor, who is commanded by her emotion/intuition -- they've all grown thicker skins. The claim of dishonour would rankle Acxa for obvious reasons (when Lotor corrects it, her face shifts from a frown to a smile).

'Where have these lies come from?'

Now I'm thinking of the implications of this culling; of Lotor bringing his Generals when he could have easily engineered it alone. It's a spectacle, of course, but for *whom*? His words are empty, he says as much, but whatever scabbard his threat wears, it remains sharp still. His Generals are in the audience. His Generals see what happens to somebody who rebels. It's why Ezor and Zethrid hesitate in 'Begin the Blitz', despite their wish to cut ties.

Throk was at -such- a distance from Haggar.

Ezor was at -such- a distance from Haggar and Throk. Pretty much the same distance.

Post-canon, Fentress goes full Zethridmode and takes Acxa hostage (a la Keith) anyone? If anyone deserves that rage rampage, it’s her.

Acxa is kind of a visionary when you think about it. It took her an afternoon to figure out polyamory was the answer. And only like half a decade that Lotor and the Galra were evil but it’s okay 💖 I might not support (all) women’s wrongs but I support women’s corrections 💕 Anything for my favourite smurf.

Don’t know if I agree with you on Narti. I don’t think they make crocs this size:

i guess shes not that close with them anymore, but i do wonder how zethrids family is? i mean some of them are probably still alive and she has a better chance of reconnecting post grudge, but obviously its a such a complicated situation (nothing i love more than family drama in my FICTION* lolll)

We'll never really know, but I've always considered Zethrid estranged from her family. I think they'd have resented her Galra privilege, and with the way Zethrid acts, it feels as if she's from a culture where it's everyone for themselves. As contradicts a traditional conception of a family, I suppose. I do think, however, that she took on the role of 'provider' from a young age, as a prerequisite to her attachment to Ezor.

Given my hc that she's an ex-Gladiator, she would've had to have been taken prisoner. Which either suggests that a worse punishment befell her non-Galra family or that she, their provider, was separated from them... so either way they probably wouldn't have survived. I also have Ideas about Zethrid and her mother but those are sooo, like, *fanon*, in a word, that I won't embarrass myself discussing them until I have my fic base down.

zethacxa isnt unrequited but i agree with u its so fun to pretend they are soemtimes 😭 especially cause of the therapyspeak scenes...

RIGHT. Wait! Please! Don't let the polyphobia control you!

now fentress on the other hand 😔

Yah unfortunately Zethrid didn't give a fuck about the purple woman... setting her up to be killed for her bigger plan (hunting a twink to get her ex's attention) and all. Poor Fentress. When Ezor left she prob thought she had this one in the bag.

i also love the idea of veronica and zethrid being jealous of eachother cause of acxa.....i love my lotors general fanservice so much 😭😭😭😭😭
