If you love him, respect his culture (3/?): real names for lance (sh//aladins don’t interact)
“a performer will often take a stage name because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, or unintentionally amusing, is difficult to pronounce or spell, has been used by another notable individual, or projects an undesired image. In the past, a stage name was often used when a performer’s real name was considered to denote a specific ethnicity that faced potential discrimination.“
i love voltron. like actually, completely, unironically. fuck all the ships and discourse and fandom. i love the show. the animation and the backgrounds and the whole concept of giant fucking robot lions in space, dude. aliens and black holes and cool planets and galaxies. friendship and found family and bonding. i love that shit. sometimes it’s easy to forget that the show itself is actually pretty fucking incredible when ur constantly being bombarded with fandom bullshit but like. man. i love voltron.

What does your writing for the storyboards look like?
Good question– for this scene we’ve deviated heavily from the script so Okida and I are mostly ad-libbing it, but I’ll show you what a normal, mostly on-script page looks like. Honestly with GOTF I deviate from the scripts a LOT.
We write in an informal screenplay format, like this:
After that, it goes into the rough sketch:
As you can see, I didn’t know what outfit Silver would be in. This page doesn’t have it, but often I’ll write notes for revised dialogue. A lot of details change from script to page, either because I change my mind on acting choices or just honestly miss something. I work very fast on most GOTF pages.
And here’s the finished product:
Hope that helps!
