WARNING SEASON 8 SPOILERS BE CAREFUL, LIKE, FIRST SENTENCE!

We made it. We all made it to the end.

If you can guess, my main Lance McClain ship is Klance, so yes, the Allurance ship in season 8, I understand why people are angry already. But Let me explain this.

The Same year that Voltron started my parents started their divorce. Lance, Keith, Shiro, Allura, Hunk, Pidge, Even Coran, they became my family. These characters were more than that. They never left. They never changed, or if they did, it was only in a good way. This show has brought my life to a very dark place, a place where I no longer have the same friends, or the same outlooks on life. 

I only shipped Klance because I wanted to be stable like Keith always was, and I wanted a family like Lance, one that loved me. I shipped them so that I could write myself stories and just change the names. My stories turned into Fan Fiction and then I started posting it. From the people I knew in the real world, they only  insulted my writing. 

But then you guys came along. You changed me. You said "Good Job!" "Please update!" "What's going to happen next?" And that kept me going. The reason I still write is because I had people who loved me, even just a tiny bit, they loved me because of what I did. So Thank you.

Shiro was always my favorite character to mess around with. If I needed to sketch something, it'd be Shiro, but I'd dye his hair a different color, or give him a weird tattoo. Stories upon stories were written, drafted, deleted, handed out, all about one character from a tv show. He was my muse.

Hunk, I'll be honest, I hated Hunk. He was a coward, who cooked so that everyone would like him, and that is what I do all day. I sit around, I cook, I clean, I do anything just to please the people around me, and when I want to do something... it's a miracle if I even ask. I curse so that people think I'm tough, but all I want to do is curl up in my honors English class with the Iliad my teacher reading by my side. I want that safety I feel from his class, and from this show.

Pidge was the sibling I never had, or her and her brother were what I wished I could have with my own brother. My brother thinks I'm a pathological lair who would rather study a subject that doesn't exist instead of ever seeing him once. He gets that from both of our parents.

Allura was that friend that I really wanted. Someone strong who wouldn't mind taking things slow, just talking about life. Appreciating what's around us. She made me believe that someone out there is looking for something like that, that someone else is looking for a friend like me. Now I'm not sure. 

Coran was the dad I never had. My dad hates me and dreams of the day he can kick me out of his house. He waits for me to succeed and then insults me, just to make me remember how worthless I am. A dad who cared about me? One who protected me at any cost? That'd be more than I could ever dream of. 

I shared this show with both of my parents, with my brother, and none of them understood what it meant to me. They said the animation was good, or the plot thinned at certain points. That's not why we watch it though, is it?

Did anyone else feel like the characters meant something to them? That they sparked something? I wanna know!

~My answers~

1) Voltron Legendary Defenders (All Seasons)

2) I watched this show because I had skipped school after having an anxiety, running a mile home, only to curl up and watch Netflix. It was recommended.

3) It was one of the first Fandoms I ever joined, and I joined it because I wanted to talk with people who had similar interest. I didn't have many friend at the time, so I seemed safer to do the Fandom instead.

4) I wouldn't consider the Voltron Fandom toxic at the moment. Even with a few slip ups, it's always welcoming of new comers, and it's full of passionate people. People can take things too far, but most back down once they are told they are doing so, and I respect that.

5) I explained up above how my family life and the life I dream about parallels with the Characters in Voltron, so, I'm not gonna rewrite it.
