[SPOILERS for end of s7, top of s8] so remembering sven got me thinking
αяσαcє★нιкα
just about the general timeline for the show toward the end
αяσαcє★нιкα
refresh plurk for the spoiler warning, btw
αяσαcє★нιкα
at the end of season 7, everyone in team voltron is recovering in the hospital
αяσαcє★нιкα
and the beginning of season 8, we see pidge at home watching the voltron tv show
αяσαcє★нιкα
if we don't go with cartoon logic, that show had to have taken at least a year to be made before it could even air
αяσαcє★нιкα
which would mean that everyone was home on earth chillin' for at least a year from the day they defeated zarkon
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
RIGHT
ღмσмεяvα
Zarkon? Or do you mean Sendak
αяσαcє★нιкα
... did i say zarkon I MEANT SENDAK
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
lmao I knew what you meant
αяσαcє★нιкα
BUT YEAH, LIKE--- I JUST REALIZED THIS AND I'M KINDA STUNNED
αяσαcє★нιкα
this was all triggered by remembering sven and thinking "maybe shiro didn't want to be on the show and everyone volunteered using sven's likeness instead"
💀 BONE DADDY
Hsvshshdhd
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
omg
αяσαcє★нιкα
'cause like-- THAT WAS KIND OF A BIG DESIGN JUMP
αяσαcє★нιкα
and now i'm sitting here imagining that lance pitched the entire show and did reenactments and the studio people just soaked it up like UH-HUH UH-HUH UH-HUH
αяσαcє★нιкα
and then exaggerated the entire thing to all hell because lol studio execs amirite
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
lmao this sounds about right
αяσαcє★нιкα
anyway. headcanons accepted god dammit
αяσαcє★нιкα
and also this means that the entirety of the show from start to finish including the time jump took place over the course of about 6 years at least
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
that's a big yikes
αяσαcє★нιкα
1 year from the beginning to the end of season 2 (i think, according to the little handbook thing)
αяσαcє★нιкα
1 year between s7 and s8
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
I think I remember reading somewhere that seasons 1-6 was roughly a year and I was like "?????"
αяσαcє★нιкα
and then several months to a year through season 3-6
💀 BONE DADDY
Stop putting time into this I’ll never remember how fucking old the Dorito is
αяσαcє★нιкα
LMAO YOUR DORITO ENDED S2 AT 25 OK
ღмσмεяvα
shiro's birthday is a leap year so at least the question is "is he 5 or 6"
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
"That's a long fuckin' year"
αяσαcє★нιкα
grabbing the handbook right now to confirm lmao
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
I COULD BE WRONG so don't quote me on that lmao
αяσαcє★нιкα
FAIR
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
also I remember seeing someone's attempt to work out a legit timeline on tumblr, but reading it made my head hurt haha
αяσαcє★нιкα
ok handbook says it's "written" at the end of s2, so the ages that are listed there are confirmed for that period of time
αяσαcє★нιкα
i think
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
was also trying to figure out the timeline, too!
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
She was!
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
I'm just usually like "OH HEY I'M FROM YOUR FUTURE" when one of the nerds meets someone in a game.
αяσαcє★нιкα
AHA the coalition handbook says that the beginning of the series happened "one decophoeb" ago and the handbook itself was "written" at the end of season 6, that's probably what you were thinking of
αяσαcє★нιкα
but honestly that... sounds ridiculous to me, lmao
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
GOD
αяσαcє★нιкα
also YEAH I DO THE SAME THING because lol no one ever talks about time in the show 
ღмσмεяvα
i mean it sounds ridiculous but also, cartoon logic
αяσαcє★нιкα
this is me just being like "WHOA WAIT"
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
why couldn't this be the type of information we were given instead of "LOL Pidge is Italian" lmao
ღмσмεяvα
we know the writers weren't really on top of that once it all started going downhill lol
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
or y'know. heights lmao
αяσαcє★нιкα
^^sob it's true
ღмσмεяvα
some of us are doing a rewatch now and it's so ... weird to look back on it
αяσαcє★нιкα
... though also technically the universal measurements of time are different from earth's... like a tic is slightly longer than a second, so it's possible that a decaphoeb is closer to a year and some change
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
true, true
αяσαcє★нιкα
/lays back down
αяσαcє★нιкα
there's still no way they produced, animated, and released the voltron show in less than a year and i stand by this
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
oh no, for sure.
αяσαcє★нιкα

Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
OH MY GOD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING I DID
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
lmao
ღмσмεяvα
rip
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
wait does this mean I've been playing the nerds too young
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
I THINK SO
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
oh well lmao Pidge has had two birthdays at Prisma and she's not even updated to the end of the series lmao
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
Like... this was a a thing...
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
And yes... I needed AAA batteries for something...
ღмσмεяvα
lmfao
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
the important things...
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
But like... I channeled my inner Keith...
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
I did this last September.
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
I feel like I remember seeing this photo before lol
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
Probably. I posted it back then. It's in my plurk image history.
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
Though, this only goes up to S7, so I wouldn't have to redo everything to accommodate S8 and the break between.
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
I remember now... I think I did this for TRP or DF... which that version of Keith is at the end of S7. We didn't go beyond that.
ღмσмεяvα
i don't know what's worse, having a normal human character trying to keep up with their timeline, or having a character you're never given any sort of age for to even track beyond "welp they're immortal at this point so who cares" but there's no real base of time with altean aging either...
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
That's fair.
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
Yeah... Coran says something about 600 somewhere at some point in regards to his grandfather and the Castle, and I'm just... I don't remember the exact context and would have to find it again.
ღмσмεяvα
it was some throwaway line i feel, way back in like s1
ღмσмεяvα
with most coran lines i feel like they all have to be taken with grains of salt though? like
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
this is the type of information we could have used. lol
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
LOL
ღмσмεяvα
they're just put in there to be "weird and alien lol"
ღмσмεяvα
not necessarily fact
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
yea
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
Also, Coran has a tendency to do everything in a very hyperbolic way... so he could also have been exaggerating?
ღмσмεяvα
Yeah....
ღмσмεяvα
That's what i meant lol
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
LOL
ღмσмεяvα
I couldn't think of the word exaggerating lmao
Autumn🍂Blade🗡️
'sall good
αяσαcє★нιкα
y'all are great, lmao
ƒεα૨ℓεα∂ε૨
we try
