which dreamworks has already done with pidge and Shiro so,,, ya know Mc/lame is dead #GiveLanceaCubanLastName2kForever (2) (also sorry if you've already heard this and this message is tedious/clogging up your inbox)

Likely, the lions also have a way of building/repairing/recharging themselves when they have no paladin (for example, after 10,000 years, the lions were able to immediately launch into action, and Blue even had enough every to create a wormhole.  If she was sitting there drawing out Quintessence from the environment for millennia, it would explain why she could manage it that one time.)  But, yes, a lion without a paladin that was drained of energy would take a very long time to build itself back up.  However, since Allura has a canonical connection to the lions and a LOT of spare Quintessence, I have to say she can probably give them a boost enough to get them going.

However, say that the reason the Black Lion is drained is because the effort of keeping Shiro connected from the Astral Plane, then all that Quintessence would start to bleed right back out, and they’d realize something Isn’t Quite Right Here.

SHE HAS A NAME!  FINALLY!

I like the idea that Dr Holt (and I maintain Dr until canon corrects me and maybe even then) is in academia rather than the GG.  I tend to write her as a Chemist?  Dunno why???  I thought it was cool??  Maybe a geologist too that’d be cool, and it’d be fun if they met through some geology studies but she’s all about terrestrial geology and Sam is all about them space rocks.  From space.

If not actual-science-science, I also like her as a computer scientist, but that being Pidge’s Thing is also fun so idk.

I also like her as the ‘who said what??  I’ll kick their ass!!!’ between her and Sam.  90 percent of the time he’s the one calming her down from metaphorically ripping someone a new one. 

I’m still torn on if she knows what Pidge has been over and if she approves of it or not.  So.  -massive shrug-

On one hand, it makes sense from a ‘how the fuck frickle frack did Pidge pull this off’ standpoint.  On the other, it feels like a VERY easy solution to ‘Pidge did some shady shit for this and is probably going to face consequences for it’.  I feel like it comes from a place of ‘but I don’t want Pidge to have done something Wrong for her quest so let’s make it Okay’??  At least for me, when I try to poke at it.

So.

I’ve got nothing for this one, sorry!  -throws confetti-

In the Devils Due Continuation I believe the suits were labeled as just being old flightsuits from before Arus got bombed back to the dark ages? Though for VLD and Golion I’m pretty sure there is minimal explanation
