For Halloween this year, I’ve decided to be Peridot! I made the gem from candle wax, which I carved into a triangle with a butter knife. Then I painted it green and glazed it.
Lauren Montgomery said in an interview once that the episode where Allura died in 80s Voltron traumatized her when she watched it as a child because she was a strong female character she could look up to, and then rebooted the show, made a Black Princess for little girls to look up to, and then up and killed her off, fully knowing it would be traumatizing to them. that’s not just carelessness on the writers’ part. that is downright purposefully violent and sadistic.
