Also, we might do few Sketchy Requests. Our hearts are with:
• Galra, Blade of Marmora; • ships:Sheith, Lotura, Zonerva.
But if you can come up with something interesting i.e witty / funny / emotional / intimate / etc., pairing doesn’t really matter. And whether it even has pairing doesn’t really matter.
It’s literally 3am in the morning and I’m here sobbing and scrolling through the lotura tag and all I wanna do now is draw some angst but I’m conflicted bc it’s late and I have to sle e p??
I think the ending of s8 was originally a reprisal of the White Lion Trial.
In that, Allura offered her life, fully expecting that it might be taken from her - but that the thing that needed doing was more important than herself, but instead she was rewarded.
Allura became a cosmic entity - akin to Bob form ‘The Feud’ - and she wasn’t the only one.
In the original s8 Lotor was there with her.
I believe she would have initially intended to sacrifice herself alone, but that Lotor wouldn’t allow her to go alone, and chose to go with her.
Narratively, Lotor needed his White Lion reprisal - where he passed the test - where he valued something more than his own life. And that would be Allura.
So they both go, and they both metaphorically offer their lives as a sacrifice. And as in Oriande, they are both rewarded for it. Gaining new knowledge and abilities. They become the new gods of a restored reality; the new Life Givers.
We’re probably missing a scene or two making things more clear exactly what happened.
It’s a different plane of existence, but they’re not dead.
Bob was a cosmic entity, and he managed to interact with the paladins just fine. Though I could see it taking some time for them to figure out how exactly ‘manifesting’ physically might work.
The shot of the nebula with both Allura and Lotor was definitely from the original season; there would be no reason for Lotor to be there otherwise.
Neither of them dies in the original cut of season eight.
