I’m crawling out of the grave to say that I might… might(!!) have a little bit of free time this weekend? Maybe??I’ll try to answer the built up asks and such this weekend, anyway.Also, hey, I’m getting close to 1,000 followers! I think I’ll do some kind of giveaway when I reach that point! 😀

Voltron or Final Fantasy 7?
In my last Voltron post I mentioned that Voltron Legendary Defender is really just Final Fantasy 7 with robot lions, so I wanted to elaborate on some of the comparisons. Obviously this is mostly facetious; there are still several note-worthy differences between the two series, and if you want to get technical, Voltron certainly existed …
A thought on why average to just-above-average shows generate such passionate fan interactions
irrevocably-delicious: I’ve been thinking about this for some time, well really ever since the Voltron fandom blew up again a week or so ago. With the new Voltron discourse, Klance retaining it’s number 1 spot on the trending ship lists, and a lot of my dashboard being occupied with Voltron art, opinions, disclaimers, and meta …
If you don’t mind me asking, what do you find so bad? I mean, I can see rushed and incomplete plots plus plot holes with my novice eyes, but what do the eyes of a master see? And on the flip, what good do you see? I’m curious because it seems to me that you are a meticulous, scrupulous type and I find it an experience to try and see something from someone else’s pov, especially when said person has more skill or knowledge than me. I’m not saying they’re always right though. Just, different.
seasonsandcenturies: echodrops: Agreed–I definitely don’t want to go around suggesting that my way of viewing things is somehow better or more right than anyone else’s; everyone sees things differently, and obviously the Voltron writers have a very specific vision in mind for their own story.

to creators currently burning themselves on that fandom pyre
ptw30: sol1056: The latest post from one of the VLD VAs highlights something I’ve been feeling about the high level of creator-fandom interaction in VLD. Note: I use ‘creator’ on a broad sense here, of anyone involved in the work’s creation: EPs, directors, voice actors, animators, and on. Anyone involved in producing the canonical broadcast …
