Embarrassment!

[botias]

What IS it with me and white-haired anti-heroes? A acquired the cheesy, bowdlerized-anime cartoon series Voltron for the sprogs, which I used to adore, and behold here is yet another from my dark past: Prince Lotor. He's completely obsessed with golden-haired Princess Allura, who bats very much for the other side. I can't help it! I love his hopeless affection and shiny hair.

Here is Allura showing him her true feelings when they are alone:



90% of the fic actually seems to be Keith/Allura which is to say Buffy/Riley. I mean this guy Keith is truly Captain Cardboard. He's the captain and he literally has no character at all on the show. His dialog is limited to variations on "Let's go Voltron Force!" In order to characterize him in a fic one would have to make up something.

Nevertheless, Lotor does have his fangurls (self included omg) and much like my fellow Spuffy-ites, these fangurls have deeply rational reasons for thinking a sane, attractive young woman ought to throw herself into a relationship with a snarky mass-murderer. One reports yelling at her television as an adolescent, hoping to give poor Allura a clue. Her final, crowning selling point? "He's blue!!!"

You are so kewt! Isn't it fun, visiting your childhood faves? God, I would be dooooomed if I ever got my hands on Star Blazers or G-Force! (No comment there, missy! LOL!)

Hee, never go for the blue ones. Or the ones with the shiny white hair. It'll end in tears! Tears, I tell you!

:P

But! But! So shiny!! So pritty!!! Can't... resist...

He's hot. And clearly his mass murdering is a plus point. *falls a bit in love from one screencap*

[botias.livejournal.com]

Oh, he's totally hot omg. He's got the cheekbones, the obsessive personality, the body count... Oh, Lotor!! Need I even mention his Daddy Issues and tormented past?

[bendy1.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, he's a better looking Lex.

I have nothing much to say except, "Bwah!"

[botias.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :D

It might be all in my nasty imagination, but I think Lotor would have chemistry with a rock.

Ever since S7 I freely and shamelessly use "he has a soul now" whenever it's convenient though.

Hahaha!! I can totally hear Buffy saying that line (over and over). Very nice of Joss to give her a 'move Spike in for free' card.

What IS it with me and white-haired anti-heroes?

*lol* I think that as long as you don't start jonesing for the Snow Miser, yer prolly ok.

Ok that? Made me howl!

Hee!! You will know if that ever happens because I will start posting Persephone updates daily, having banished myself to a cave somewhere for the rest of my days. *headdesk*

I could post a veritable rogue's gallery of white-haired anti-heroes at this point, but I'm happy to say he's not among them.

You have opened up a whole new fan vista
- white haired anti-heroes -

Thanks for the smile.

[botias.livejournal.com]

:D Someday I will do a post, there's quite a list. I can easily think of five right now.

You say that like it's a bad thing. Mmmm, daily Persephone updates. . .

I cringe along with you.

[botias.livejournal.com]

It is cringe-worthy. No one will ever get me to share my fav LA crack!fic that I found.
