honestly, bless the animators.
season 1 shiro: yea ive been through such traumatic stress from being a galra prisoner a small portion of my hair went white!
season 6 shiro:
you are like a baby, watch this

I feel like I rolled a nat 20 for persuasion against dreamworks and got the best season of Voltron ever.
Spoilers below! I tag all my season 6 spoilers as “vld s6 spoilers”. Beware of what is to come…
when i think about it, i’m glad lotor went batshit crazy in season 6.
this isn’t his “true face” he was hiding all along or some shit. this is lotor completely losing it. this is someone who’s been treated like shit by others all his life; told he was worthless, used, discarded, abandoned. this is someone with a fucked up past who wanted a brighter future. while he is in the wrong, honerva saying she was never able to care for him, allura giving up on him and screaming in his face that he’s just like zarkon, his generals betraying him for good - he finally snapped.
there was no final blow, no catalyst - this is all the ugly, raw emotion, grief, hate and hurt lotor has been suppressing all his life.
i love him.
