oh god.
I just found all of my old Voltron fanfiction. This stuff dates back to 2000.
The first ever fandom I was a part of.
The writing wasn’t too bad, except for one little teeny tiny problem - a self-insert.
Yeah, these aren’t seeing the light of day EVER. XD
That’s a natural inclination. I wrote a fanfic for school when I was 13 or so where I’d “remembered” Wil Wheaton and I were old pals (it actually reads a bit gay in retrospect, but whatev), and another riffing off of the anti-semitic shit I’d get in being compared to Woody Allen where I was cast by him as a young version of him, as Seth Green had (and I should have been not that I’m bitter noooo). I think I did a Ghostbusters one, too. Eventually my Mary Sues got a bit more sophisticated, or if I was going to do autobiography I’d just fucking DO it.
But oh man, I bet yours are mortifying. Show us! SHOW US!!! The hordes of cackling imps demands you show us!!!
Voltron - Toonami Returns on 5/26/12
You realize this is the death knell for Voltron Force, don’t you? As soon as kids realize there was a better version of that show over 25 years ago their number are going to TANK. The natural order of things will be restored; peace will settle throughout the universe.

So, in a fit of boredom brought on by lack of internet over the weekend, I sat down and <i>actually</i> watched some of the GoLion episodes I’ve been sitting on since forever. The following post was written while watching said episodes, so it’s largely my stream of consciousness while observing. Think of it as a live-blog after the fact.
Episode 1…
To my discredit I’ve also not watched GoLion, despite their being available for free on YouTube. Maybe once I move in a couple weeks & hook up the Wii I’ll do that. And then I’ll know what the hell you’re talking about.
(DW) Sounds of Voltron RemixThe Sounds taken from the Japanese Golion / Voltron made into a hip hop track. Hope you like it, Enjoy!

I’d recommend clicking the thumbnail, since the site link is crazy fulla pop-ups, including ones with BEWBS. Not a bad little track, tho it gets a bit redundant by the halfway point.

Does the trace of the custom Qee’s shield feature the Galactic Empire insignia from classic Star Trek’s “Mirror Mirror” episodes (and all the followups thereof from the inferior post-TNG series)? It does give rise to what an evil conqueror Voltron would be like. I’m sure Blackwater (or whatever name they’ve shape-shifted into) is developing just that.
“Legend of Voltron”
Hey Keith David, don’t harsh on Dr. Thaddeus Venture. I wrote President Reagan with the exact same idea in 1985. Obviously his lack of reply is due to his being a secret Drule infiltration android. Now put on your Hofmann lenses and let’s chew some bubblegum. All out? Then you know our only other option.
Australia fact #398: You are such alcoholics that you wake up the next morning & realize you were merely fucking your car’s tailpipe and sobbing, “Dynatherms connect… WHY WON’T MY DYNATHERM CONNECT, MOMMY???”
I bet my ex-girlfriend would still love me if I were Voltron. But then, I’d be all like. “Girl please, I’m Voltron!”
This is basically my response to everyone exulting in Luffy of One-Piece’s squeaker of a victory over Voltron on MTV Geek’s Battle Arena Otaku. Seriously? OK, let’s break this down:
* One-Piece… is it still on TV? Even if it isn’t, it’s still far more recent. It barely beat a show that stopped making new episodes in 1987. OUCH.
* In another 25 years, which do you think people will remember better: Voltron, Defender of the Universe or One-Piece? Yeah, let’s see that poll then.
* Voltron fans are older. We have shit to do; a poll is not a high priority. We remember when MTV wasn’t just a clearinghouse for all youth culture but specifically about music. What did you think the M stood for? They don’t even fucking remember.
* Maybe we’re all still just a LEETLE BEET ANNOYED at how cocked-up Voltron Force is and aren’t feeling the team spirit like we were a year ago. Wait til it gets cancelled and ask us again.
* Dude, his name is “Luffy.” Do you need another reason?
I’m glad we had this talk, One-Pieceheads. For the record, what little of it I’ve seen I thought was a decently funny cartoon. Let’s just not get carried away, shall we? Girl please… I’m Voltron.

The most I know about former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi I’ve got from the podcast The Bugle, who’ve taken great delight in taking him down, but I know he’s intensely corrupt and generally thinks with his cock. I suppose I should be disturbed that he would be conflated with Voltron, but I’m actually more skeeved by an association between Italy and Japan. If I find out the designer is German I’m calling Winston Churchill.
Voltron sketch by Jacob Chabot at @acmecomics on #FCBD. Jacob drew the 1st issue of Voltron Force so I had to get a Voltron from him.
Like I have made more than abundantly clear, I think Voltron Force is for the birds (to poop on), but I think Jake Chabot is faboo. Honestly, I don’t think the show could be any worse, and possibly could be quite a bit better, if they swapped out The Blazing Sword for The Flaming Bowling Pin.

I love the quasi-fascist aesthetic here, like it should be rendered in bronze or marble. It reminds me of the Greco-Roman mythology interpretations at Rockefeller Center or cosmonaut posters. To the stars, comrades! To industry!
