Some thougts on why Lotor in s6 complety breaks my heart
Lotor grew up with two parents controlled by quintaessence, never paying him any mind or showing him any love. His peers saw him as weak because he was part Altean. He was a loveless child, and still, he grew, swearing to be nothing like his father. Still when he gives himself to Voltron he is aware of the hate they feel towards him; he knows he is a good card to play against Zarkon. This feeling towards him even exists after he defeats Zarkon; most of the Galra don’t want him as emperor, his own commanders side with Haggar…. and the list goes on and on. He isn’t loved. And then he begins to work with Allura.
There is no denying that the chemistry between them had always been strong, but working together the feeling grows more intense. Allura is the first being that will see Lotor with different eyes, every minute they spend together she sees him as less of a monster. And then she falls in love with him. Allura, probably the purest soul in the universe, has actual feelings for him. In his mind this must hav been fireworks and whatnot. And he doesn’t tell her about the Alteans beacause he is scared of how she will react. He is aware that his Galra upbringing has given him twisted methods, but with Allura, he calls himself an Altean.
Then we get the revelation of his past. He saved multiple Alteans, and for them he became loved. It was ‘the highest honour’ to do anything for him. Tasting worship for the first time, he decided he wanted more. This is another proof of his desperation of love; he is willing to rip the whole universe apart in order to be worshipped by his own race. Not only Galra or Altean; both.
He never gets a chance to explain his motives (even though they are shitty af) and instead Allura tells him what he fears the most: that he became his own father. You can actually see the pain in his eyes, how the pure light he had found in his life, became just like everyone else. In his mind he doesn’t care anymore, and powered by the quintessence he goes completely mad.
He takes himself to his own destruction, because he knew he could never be loved.

I just love how AJ(Lotor) just Keeps confirming Lotura 😻
Ya coincidence my ass lotor 🤣
If Lotor is Allura’s endgame, who’s Lance’s?😏☕️

(you know, before the whole you’ve-been-harvesting-my-people’s-quintessence crap)

I want to take the time to remember one of my favorite shows, Avatar. I shipped Zutara and even when it didn’t became canon, Dante Basco 100% supported the ship validating it.
And recently, about Voltron. Again, even though Lotura didn’t became end game, but I love AJ for being 100% supported of the ship!

allura, who could have absolutely sacrificed voltron instead of herself, after seeing lotor in the afterlife:
