Shieth.

I'm very partial to the 'Lost season 8' theory presented here:

But otherwise, I'd be happy as long as Kieth and Shiro ended up travelling together, even if not romantically.

>Best boy?
Kieth. Hands down. They got the cute emo boy formula down to _pat_.

>Fic recs?
I'm afraid to touch it, does anyone else know?

>Shieth or Klance? (NO WAR PLS)
Shieth all the way, though I respect that Klance shippers were onto a cute dynamic that had potential, fic and art-wise.

I was 13 when Voltron released and wasn't involved in the online fandom world outside of reading fics on ao3 and ffn. But having looked briefly into some of the shit that went down, I really think the creators should've been less retarded. I can only fault retarded teens so much before seeing the underlying cause of all the discourse being the creators just reaping what they sowed.

With that out of the way, I only watched the first season and half the second season, so my first ship was Klance although I was still big into het ships back then and was between Lance x Pidge and Klance. However, like 4 years ago I got back into Voltron fanfic and started getting really into Shance. I wish I could get into Sheith, but I think the fact that I only watched the first one and half seasons probably doesn't help and I'm not willing to watch Voltron ever again to get a feel for their dynamic.

>Fav ship?
Admittedly while it was airing I was a hardcore Klance shipper (up until S4/5, I stopped caring about the series afterwards) but my tastes lean towards Sheith now. I still think it's cute and funny, most definitely carried by the fans though; at the time I was really disappointed at how they basically had 0 interactions for the latter half of the series.

>How should it have ended?
I never actually watched the last season because of how bad it seemed kek so no idea but anything else would've been better. Allura dying was kinda ridiculous to me.

>Best boy?
Keith.

>Fic recs?
None, did read Dirty Laundry and call me beep me and from my memory I enjoyed them. Still think the amount of hate the former got was retarded.

>Shieth or Lance? (NO WAR PLS)
Sheith. I didn't get it back then because I was a "Broganes" type of person but after revisiting now I understand…

My favorite thing about the show was the /co/ threads. A mix of actual discussion and shitposts so well balanced you'd think you were browsing in 2008.

>Fav ship?
I didn't feel too strongly about any ship in this show. I was hoping Allura/Lotor would actually go somewhere because I remember the OG being one of my first ships when I was little. It might have actually been THE first.
>How should it have ended?
Any way else. They should have had way more cuts to the B team on Earth throughout the story instead of cramming that shit into the end. >>1286 Interesting read.
>Best boy?
the worst boy, Lotor
>Fic recs?
Never finished any.
>Shieth or Lance? (NO WAR PLS)
Shieth. If I were invested in the ship I would be so mad that Klance "won" by virtue of having both halves of their ship alive and single at the end of the show. I will never, ever forgive Klance for making fandom worse for everybody forever. Reeeee!

>>1287
>getting really into Shance
I'd argue that Shiro does indeed have a canonical type.

>Fav ship?
Sheith
>How should it have ended?
I stopped caring after they decanonized Lotor x Allura (I liked that ship a lot as well) for the sake of Lance pandering kek, never ended up watching the last few seasons.
>Best boy?
Shiro
>Fic recs?
I don't remember any…
>Shieth or Lance? (NO WAR PLS)
Sheith

>>1285
My fave ships were Klance and Lotura. I always thought that Shiro had a stupid haircut so I could never get into any ship that involved him.

>>1285


>Fav ship?
Sheith. I'm proud to say that while watching season 1, i tried to look up keith x shiro on tumblr and found out there wasn't even a ship name tag for them yet. I feel so old typing this haha

>How should it have ended?
It's been a while since I watched it, and i didn't finish the last season because i skipped to the last episode to check if the "shiro wedding leak" was true. I saw no keith and dropped it

>Best boy?
Shiro! As far as I remember he was very sweet, caring, and a good leader. I was very happy he got more attention as the seasons went by, and how Keith followed him everywhere…i also really liked Allura

>Fic recs?
Sorry i don't remember any. I did read this one once where Shiro was a cow hybrid and Keith had to milk him :9

>Shieth or Lance? (NO WAR PLS)
do I even have to answer that

Is this show worth watching for the fics and art? I don't care about ship wars from a moralfag perspective but I want the smug brown boy to be destroyed by dick. Like absolutely put in his place. Any gay stuff is fine as long as they aren't ugly.

>>1296
>I want the smug brown boy to be destroyed by dick
Yeah it's fine for that. Honestly you don't even have to watch the show because the fanfic scene doesn't really play too hard with canon and most of the cast is pretty static.
>>1291
>I always thought that Shiro had a stupid haircut
Valid.

>>1297
NTA but I might just rewatch Voltron to write and/or draw Lance being dicked down. >>1296 has renewed my interest.

>>1298
I might watch it with you in spirit and attempt to write for the ao3 collection ♥

The fact that this show had eight seasons in two years makes my head spin when I think about it. It felt like the show ran for much longer than it actually did.
