The End of the New Voltron (SPOILERS) T_T

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR SEASON 8

OF VOLTRON ~YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED~

***************

I'm not going to rant.

There's a ton of that already.  The small bits of the Voltron that are the most vocal are the most toxic parts of fandom ever.  Sending death threats over ship-wars to content creators?  No, I won't be that person.

However, I do need a way to say my feelings.

They killed my Princess.

I waited 30 years to see Princess Allura in Blue Lion again, something that didn't even happen right away.  Something that made me sad at the start of the series and hesitant to watch.

I'm glad I never fully invested myself in the series because Allura sacrifices herself in a plotline that didn't make a lot of sense.

I grew up with Voltron.

I've wanted LAnce and the Princess to have a chance together for decades.

They get that chance, now that Lance has had a chance to grow up and Allura has had a chance to deal with her own life and story.

But nope, let's have someone destroy realities and instead of everyone in the Lions giving up a piece of themselves or even just drastically shortening her long lifespan.  Allura vanishes.  

And they have an epilogue to show, no, there isn't a way to get her back.

I have other issues with the ending and the series as a whole.  Again, this isn't a rant.

I cried.  I cried so hard because I love Allura.  My interest in fandoms comes and goes but I was ALWAYS Voltron.  When my dad sold my Blue Lion from being a kid, I bought a new one when they re-released them like ten or so years ago.  

Blue Lion was my Lion.  The water Lion.

Allura was MY Princess.

And they ended the series with her gone.

And that hurts.
