My heart aches for Lotor

And here’s why:

His whole life, he had been fighting to become something great. Everything he did was to fight back against the generalizations he’s been labeled with. But in the end, no one acknowledges anything he’s fought to be.

His whole life, he’s fought to become strong and independent,

Only to be labeled weak due to his Altean heritage.

His whole life, he’s fought to become like his mother, an alchemist, a wise and iconic figure,

Only to be compared to his father in the end.

His whole life he’s studied Altean culture and tried to learn their ways,

Only to succumb to the cruel teachings and ideals of the Galra.

He saved thousands of Alteans, preserved their culture, race and people,

Only to be acknowledged for sacrificing a few in order to achieve that.

He opened up to Allura, fell in love with someone for the likely first time,

Only to be immediately cast out minutes later because of a stranger’s story and accusations without hearing his side.

Lotor’s been through a lot. He’s fought to become so much more than what people label him as… and yet in the end no one acknowledges that side of him. No one acknowledges the good and the great lengths he’s come. Call him what you want, like him or not, take his side or not, you can’t deny the fact this man has been raised through hell itself. I’m glad he snapped and didn’t hold back anymore. Because if in the end people only see you as a failure, then what’s the point of trying to be anything other than that?

HHHHH MY BABBYYYYYY

[DYING INSIDE™]

Okay so I’m confused

[itsnotdoneyet]

There was a discussion a few months ago about Lotor’s hands how they go from regular to having claws in some scenes. We see it again up close in season 4

In the scene where he wake up from being stunned, we see that his hands clearly don’t have any claw-like features. Specifically looking at his thumb. But in a next shot only seconds later, he suddenly has the sharp claws:

This can’t be an animation mistake since it’s happened before when they did close ups on his hands. My theory is that maybe, just like some animals, Lotor’s claws only show up when he feels threatened? I feel like it may be emotions that trigger this change or actually, it could be a conscious effort to make himself even more capable of defending himself if the situation comes to it.

We know Haggar has those claws but Alteans don’t have any sharp nails. But we see this in the 3rd episode:

Her hands are the only thing that seem to be consciously changed to have a Galran appearance. It seems to me that the claws are a signature Galran aspect of one’s appaerance and maybe Lotor is able to chameleon himself like his mother? Maybe the claw thing is a conscious change when the situation calls for it?

Idk, random after shower thoughts 😂

I have been wondering the exact same thing! It really struck me in this moment too, when Lotor is staring out at the rift after his plans have failed-

and then seconds later, after he’s experienced shock/distress and is mid-collapse, we have…

[itsnotdoneyet]

And we see this claw formation when Lotor strikes Narti too…

His hands are normal, comparing them to the other girls’ hands which were specifically animated with claws. But next we see his hands with the claws as he strikes Narti, with a specific (and I believe intentional) close up to his hand.

I can’t help but think of when AJ said that Lotor “shows his feelings in different ways than other people”.

[itsnotdoneyet]

So bringing this back all the way from season 4… with this in mind, I’m going to rewatch S6 and look for all of the scenes where his claws are out.

I LOVE AJ.
GLAD TO SEE WE’RE ON THE SAME PAGE AJ LMAOO

SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6

OKAY THIS IS MORE OF A “WHAT IF” BUT HEAR ME OUT:

LOTOR COMES BACK, THEY SHOW A SCENE OF HIM WAKING UP AND GASPING FOR AIR AS HIS HANDS REACH OR THE CONTROLS. HE PUTS HIS HEAD DOWN, CALMING HIS BREATHING BEFORE LOOKING UP, REVEALING THE PINK GLOWING EYES HIS FATHER HAD. EPISODE 1 ENDS. EPISODE 2 SHOWS LOTOR HEADING BACK TO THE COLONY, DECLARING THAT THEY GO TO WAR AGAINST THE GALRA, WANTING TO WIPE THEM OUT, SHOUTING HOW VOLTRON HAS BETRAYED THEM ALL, THEIR PRINCESS HAS BETRAYED THEM ALL, AND RALLIES THEM UP TO CREATE AN ARMY.

IF HE SUCCEEDS, VOLTRON WILL BE PULLED BACK INTO THE FIGHT BUT HERES THE KICKER:

VOLTRON IS SWORN TO PROTECT ALL LIVES AGAINST PERSECUTION. IF LOTOR RALLIES UP AN ARMY… ALLURA WOULD HAVE TO BE FIGHTING HER OWN PEOPLE WHILE FIGHTING TO PROTECT THE RACE SHE HATES. OLD LOVERS NOW LEADING THE FIGHT AGAINST EACH OTHER (and possibly getting Lotor back to normal and making out idk just a thought)

DREAMWORKS HERES MY NUMBER

Spoilers!

Okay but in total honesty, regardless if your a Lotor Stan or a hater… I think Lotor’s feelings for Allura were true. Yes he probably went to the Paladins to use them but there was a miscalculation, and he ended up falling for Allura. Thus why he was so upset when Allura refused to listen to him. But let’s be honest… To go from kissing the person you love, to having them throw you to the ground unconscious and have them turn their back on you instantly without hearing yor side within minutes… I’d be ready to snap too.
