kari-izumi: This is why Plance took off like it did this excellent ship essay by @echodrops (and the other two parts) discusses why ships–in this instance Klance and Lotura–resonate harder than the ones that become endgame more often than not. To put it briefly, it has to do with the emotional energy written for those …

Why Do Certain Ships Become So Popular? (And Why Should Writers Rethink When They Do?) – Part 1
(Damn, look who’s showing up ten years late to this discussion with Starbucks…)Hey guys, just want to start with a preface here: I’ve recently been in several separate conversations about why certain ships become so popular, what leads people (and woman in particular) to ship so much, why certain fandoms become over-zealous in their shipping, …
Why Do Certain Ships Become So Popular? (And Why Should Writers Rethink When They Do?) – Part 2
<- Start back at part 1 or you’re going to be very confused! This time my victim of choice example is Klance (and Allurance and Lotura too).In a previous post, I established the premise that shippers focus their efforts and attention on ships between characters who exhibit the most compelling dynamism, the greatest amount of …

x-skulleh: echodrops: A continuation of my extremely long vent about the most recent Voltron season. <- Part 1 is back here. This time, it’s all about Lotor! Keep reading http://x-skulleh.tumblr.com/post/175334669480/a-lotor-theorymeta^^ might wanna take a look at this as well as other meta about this season. We literally don’t even have the whole story- we have …
Issues with Voltron Season 6 (Part 1)
So, since I made my last post, I lost three followers and got some rude anonymous private messages, whom I can only assume were from super gung-ho Voltron fans who didn’t want to hear that anyone dislikes the direction their favorite show has taken–fair, I guess. You do you! However, I do want to clarify …
Issues with Voltron Season 6 (Part 2)
A continuation of my extremely long vent about the most recent Voltron season. <- Part 1 is back here.This time, it’s all about Lotor!3) Lotor’s entire character makes no sense.This is such a mess that I really don’t even know where to start. I’m just gonna make a bullet list and then try to break …
Issues with Voltron Season 6 (Part 3)
A continuation of my extremely long vent about the most recent Voltron season. <– Part 1 is back here.<- Part 2 is back here. This time it’s (mostly) about Keith and Shiro!All right, so while I think the treatment of Lotor’s character was the true worst offender of this season, the entire clone Shiro plot …
When you get the chance, I would love to hear/read some of your comments about season 6, perhaps 5 pros and 5 cons? Or however many you have time for. (Actually I would love to get some coffee with you and talk about season 6 mono-a-mono, writer-to-writer, but distance and real life and such.) On another note, I’m loving HaaH!
I don’t have time to really write any sort of formal analysis currently, and I wouldn’t want to commit to an solid analysis until I’ve had time to slowly rewatch the season again, but as it currently stands…Pros:- The animation was truly stunning. Some very gorgeous scenes.- The Sincline ship looked cooler than I expected.Cons:- …
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 …
