When Allura throws him across the room, Lotor suffers a severe head injury that results in aphasia—loss of language abilities—and makes Allura question her actions. Lotor seems stupid and is treated as such by the others, but he isn't—aphasia doesn’t affect intelligence. He has an uphill battle ahead of him to maintain control over his weakening empire while he has trouble with even basic communication.

Chasing the Ghosts of Season 8

[leakinghate]

Let’s skip the flowery intros and get to the point, because this is important.

Lotor’s vindication and reunion with Allura were originally part of VLD s8 and I can prove it. Most animation relating to this plot was excised, while other clips were re-purposed to make it look like he was dead all along: but some are still in there.

The removal of this plot line was one of the major factors in completely messing up season 8, and it was a change that was made very recently; no earlier than August in fact. There is a significant, non-zero chance that an unedited version of Season 8 exists in its entirety; completely finished.

The evidence is below the cut.

Trigger Warnings: Gore - that image and discussion of it, body horror, sexism, and major character death.

“Love,” Allura plucks one of the holograms from the ground, holds the spectral flower between two, deceptively delicate fingers. “Is a lie. Just look at the trouble it’s wrought across the galaxy.”

Prince Lotor traces the veins on her wrist with his claw, wonders at how easy it would be to draw blood. How fragile she is. How dangerous. “But before that, it was merely love. Controlled, it is no more dangerous than a holo-generator.”

Her expression darkens. “It convinced me to fly into a star once. It can be plenty dangerous when it wants to be.”

“But you defeated it, did you not?”

Allura stays silent. 

“I imagine that you would kill me if you thought our love would lead us down the same road as Zarkon. I would destroy the universe for you, sacrifice every star for you, but you wouldn’t let me.” Prince Lotor kisses her hand, and intertwines his fingers with hers. The flower falls, and dissolves into light before it hits the ground. “Would you?”

“I- no.” She admits, leaning her head on his shoulder. “But who’s to say that I won’t turn out to be the raging warlord?”

“If so, then I would stop you. I would tear out my heart and lay it at your feet.”

Allura sighs, still not satisfied. “I love you, and it scares me.”

“Oh, but darling,” He grabs her chin, and kisses her, hard and soft and full of all of the feelings he can’t quite put into words. “That’s the point.”

(dialogue is so much fun. Plot, not so much.)
