Embarrassment!
Feb. 21st, 2008 07:06 pmWhat 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!!!"
