smolsarcasticraspberry:“turns out it wasn’t that crack after all” bingo except all the crack theories are mine, reduxaka. lemme run through my card and rate the theories and how they panned out (or didn’t lol) on a scale from ★ (oh honey no) to ★★★★★ (*blacks out and wakes up in Lauren’s basement*)1. Lotor opens the rift: a bit of a gimme. he actually opened multiple rifts, and it was glorious. Verdict: We Been Knew ★★★★★2. Kuron is an android, not a clone: someone on anon suggested i could claim this on the basis of what happened with Kuron’s arm, but i’m actually happy this didn’t pan out. i went back and forth on whether or not i wanted it to be true, and ultimately Clone Theory turned out to be more interesting. Verdict: Dodged A Bullet ★3. Shiro is in an alternate reality: i had multiple ideas about where Shiro might be, and this was always a bit of a wild card. would have been cool. but i did call that Shiro wasn’t anywhere in Voltron’s reality, because otherwise Black would have come for him. and in a way… she absolutely did. Verdict: Berry Watched Too Much Stargate SG-1 As A Teen ★★4. Endgame BP Shiro: this one’s still up in the air, but there were some solid hints that this is how the show is gonna end. i’ll probably do a meta about said hints later. Verdict: Still Pending For Now ★★★5. Acxa is Lotor’s daughter: i mean… i honestly did get that vibe from some of their interactions. but nothing definitive. maybe we’ll find out in later seasons what her deal is. Verdict: Time Will Tell ★★6. Surviving Alteans living in hiding: I CALLED IT. i even called that they would be living in a pocket dimension or something. however the reality of how they got there? fully blew me away. wow. Verdict: Close Enough ★★★★7. Lance has a crush on Shiro: always a fanciful long shot. still maintain that you can read it that way, even after his crush on Allura was addressed. Verdict: Bi Disasters All Around ★★8. Haggar/Honerva redemption arc: i mean… kinda? Oriande did cleanse her so she’s Honerva again. where does she go from here? only time will tell. Verdict: Wait And See ★★9. Allura builds herself a white Lion: i mean she deadass built an entire new Voltron/Sincline mecha so she still could pull it off. Verdict: A Binch Can Dream ★★10. Only OG Shiro can form Blazing Sword: ALLURA HECKIN DID IT so i’m upgrading this from “it’s a Shiro thing” to “it’s a Magical Altean Thing”. Verdict: Will I Ever Shut Up About Magical Altean Shiro ★11. Krolia bringing baby Shiro to Earth: too gloriously crack to survive lol. although i did call the ‘clone army’ part which i feel we should really be talking about more… Verdict: Go Home Berry You’re Drunk ★★12. Zarkon and Alfor hooked up: we have no canon proof this didn’t happen. therefore, it did. fight me. Verdict: Death Of The Author ★★★★★13. Magical Altean Shiro (free space): if i was really cheeky, i’d claim Allura’s eye glow and Shiro’s white hair as proof of this, but lemme wait before i post the smug memes. Verdict: L I S T E N ★★★★14. Rift creatures vs. Voltron final boss fight: still think this is likely. Verdict: Too Early To Call ★★15. Kuron is a clone: i knew this as soon as he turned up on screen, but it’s so nice to get it finally confirmed. Verdict: Stick To Your Guns ★★★★★16. Shiro is with the Alteans: swing and a miss, but i’ll take it cos he was with Black the whole time and i’m so emo about Blackashi i don’t even care. Verdict: Got Carried Away With The Red String There ★17. Keith goes to the dark side: nah he just got THICC. Verdict: Berry Forgot This Was A Kids’ Show ★18. Lions are immortal energy beings in metal bodies: i feel like this didn’t really get addressed, but the stuff with Black being able to save Shiro’s soul in her mindscape i guess kinda hinted at it? so i don’t know. Verdict: *Frantic Lore Wrangling Sounds* ★★★19. Kuron realises he’s not Shiro cos he’s gay and Shiro is bi: rip babbu clone. still think Shiro is bi though. Verdict: Too Pure For This World ★★★20. Shiro’s bayard takes multiple forms: hopefully we’ll find out when he gets to use it. Verdict: Still Waiting ★★★21. Lotor’s special quintessence comes from Pollux: kinda mad at myself for never formally writing this up, but basically i predicted that Lotor’s ‘special quintessence’ was Altean (he was stealing scaltrite lenses, after all). i thought it might be Alteans working with him willingly. the reality? HORRIFYING. Verdict: Legit… But At What Cost ★★★★22. Shiro became one with the force: i was right. his body became pure energy and his soul was trapped in the astral plane. AND THE BLACK LION SAVED HIM. Verdict: Sobbing Over Blackashi ★★★★★23. Lotor is after the purple rift creatures: turns out he was just a quintessence junkie. still so pumped at his descent into pure evil, though. Verdict: Canon Was Better So I’m Not Mad ★24. Kuron becomes Ryou, Shiro’s twin: this kinda did get hinted at in the DnD game, but boy i’m still so upset he didn’t make it out alive. i wanted him to stick around. Verdict: I Dreamed A Dream In Times Gone By ★25. Shiro’s hair turns fully white: from quintessence exposure, no less. he sure as heck looks Altean now, huh? Verdict: Still Screaming Over It ★★★★★ -- source link
