#mfe-ares

canon Ryan Kinkade is a quiet soft boi who likes to spend his time daydreaming and reflecting on what's happening around him and y'know that's not real compatible with talking and besides he's more comfortable with his thoughts than with his words

BUT BOY WHEN HE TALKS Ryan doesn't waste a word -- he says what he means, nothing more, nothing less. in situations like that of Veronica's mmm sacrifice he doesn't go for idle reassurance, but a hard truth that he knows his crew knows and knows that they're too consumed by "what-ifs" to accept.

"She saved the mission. And us." is such a clear, concise statement that gets across so many points:

there was nothing anyone else could have done

Veronica made a decision, knowing the risks and understanding that the benefits outweighed them

if Veronica hadn't sacrificed herself, it wouldn't have just been MFE-Ares that died. the garrison would have been starved out until they had no choice but to face the Galra

Ohoho! I’ve got loads! I actually set up a tag for s8 hype talk if you want to read my more in-depth predictions as they come to me. I’m gonna use this ask to talk about some of the stuff I probably won’t meta about, not that I wouldn’t love to talk about any of this if you see something that peaks your interest, but most of this list is hunches or straight-up hopes and wishes. Buckle up, it’s tinhat time! 

Honerva Redemption Arc- yes, I’m still holding out hope for this. Ask anyone I talk to regularly- I’m very intrigued by Honerva and want to see some amazing stuff from her. If she does have a redemption arc, I don’t think it will be anything near traditional and likeliest would be upon death. But given we’ve seen her grow from unashamedly brutal to questioning herself and her loyalties to prioritizing her desires and pursuing life-long goals, I believe there’s room for her to be morally complicated. 

Lotor Returns- I don’t know how because there are so many options, but my primary reason for believing he will be back is because there was no finality in his last s6 scene. I’ve got another ask I’m working on right now that will talk more about this. 

Allura and Altea- Allura has been holding onto her memories of Altea and in a way living in the past. But now with a chance to rebuild her culture with her people, Allura has the opportunity to move forward and forge new memories and traditions. Altea is not a place, Altea is a people. 

The White Lion- This is one of my biggest crack theories, but I think Honerva might have stolen the White Lion from Oriande. Even if it’s not true, we’re definitely going to see more to do with magic / alchemy in s8. 

Multi-mecha fight(s)- this one is straight up hopes and wishes. I would love to see a 3-way fight between Voltron, Sincline, and Komarcha (lmfao the mystery Altean Komar mecha needed a name). Plus we’ve got Atlas (and I hope an army of Komarchas) to consider as well. 

MFE-Ares Upgrade- They’re battery life was a plot point multiple times in s7. If those ships are going to be prominent fighters they’re going to need to resolve the need to return to the Atlas mid-battle. 

Others- 

IGF-Altas, in space!

Blazing Sword

Time is weird again
