Lotor can’t tell either of them apart
Concept: much to everyone’s shock, Colleen ends up fucking ADORING Lotor.
She was secretly an alien nut the whole time, and then Pidge or Matt bring one home to meet her and she’s all for it. Like what’s not to love? He’s polite, handsome, smart, tall, royalty. Then she finds out about his parent issues and proceeds to mother the shit out of him. Make him food, knit him a scarf, be an ear to listen to him. Lotor doesn’t know what to do with all this sudden affection.
While he’s munching on cookies she made, Colleen turns to Matt and Pidge, “Either one of you marries him, or he becomes your new brother.”
Welcome to the family!!! ❤️
i recently got really into shidge and i feel like if i do anything shidge related (or any shaladin ship) on my other blog then there’s a bunch of discourse following it, so i decided to make this blog as a sort of safe space for me shipping shidge

24 for the ask fanfic author thingy (btw I love your writing and you inspire me!)
Gah! Where do all you wonderful people come from?!
(jk i love you and thank you for that wonderful compliment. Though the fact that ANYONE is inspired by me is still awesomely baffling.)
But as far as your question goes...
24. favorite scene i’ve ever written
Tbh, its a really close call between two scenes in ‘Golden Madness’ for me
The first one being the part where Sifair (my OC and Keith’s mom) says goodbye to Matt and Shiro in Chapter 5: Lick Your Wounds.
Mainly barbecue i feel that that scene, if nothing else, TRULY conveys the whole of Sifair’s character. I character i’ve spent so long rewriting and revising.
The qualities she shows in that scene are the qualities that have stuck with her through her first iteration and to her present stage.
She’s a mom.
A mom who’s had a hard, bloodly life full of regrets and death. A mom who’s willing to go through all that again if it means protecting her kids. A mom who, at the same time, doesn't want to put her kids through what she had to go through. She just wants love and the someone to love.
That scene really captures that.
The second one would have to be a scene in Chapter 10: A Version of the Truth
The one where Allura’s telling the side of Laila’s story HER father told her, and, at the same time, Coran is telling the side of the Laila’s story that the ALTEAN PEOPLE were told.
It was confusing to write.
But it was a risk i wanted to take. It was something that the plot of ‘Golden Madness’ hinged upon. The concept of POV and which narrative is the right one is something i’ve always wanted to play with.
This scene is really the culmination of those ideas.
After i posted that chapter i got theory after theory in the comment section. And while comments and feedback are easily the best parts of writing, THEORIES are in a league all their own.
They show that my work made people think.
That it made them reevaluate what they knew and present it in a way they wanted to see come to fruition. This scene allowed for theories to finally come into GM and i’m so thankful it exists.
Once again, thank you for the ask! And i hope that answers your question. It was surprisingly difficult to try and pick one scene, so just had to pick two!
Thank you for your support, and the best of luck with your own writing! May you never be too afraid to take creative risks!
IT’S FINALLY HERE!
So sorry for the huge gape in between chapters, but college applications aren’t easy.
Still, thank you all so much for sticking around this long and I hope you enjoy this new chapter!
With love,
Potentiala

The earliest memory Narti had was far from pleasant.
A voice belonging to a woman ,who she would later learn was Grand Witch Haggar, was scolding her. For what, the female Galra could not remember. She did, however, remember being struck.
Blood flowing from her face.
She had been so young then. Unable and unused to living in a world without sight and speech. Terrified of the handicaps she had, seemingly, been born with.
The Witch used that to her advantage.
Narti remembered the nails on that horrid woman's gnarled hands. Filed like serrated knives, those nails had pressed into Narti's young face. Nearly, but not quite, drawing blood as the Witch pulled their heads close together The smell of rot on the Witch too strong for Narti's heightened sense of smell, and the girl gagged. Desperate for cleaner air.
Unintentionally pushing the nails deeper into her skin.
“Little Beast!” The Grand Witch had hissed. Her scent like toxin and metal. The female Galra frantic to get away from the warm, rotten breath and sharp hands, but much too frightened to even move.
Much less run.
“Never forget you cost your mother her life, you wretched thing! You killed the only creature who could ever love you. Remember that the next time you dare disobey.”
Narti could only do as she was told.
She remembered.

Your typical SM AU where your sm has a tattoo of your name on their wrist and vise versa, but you notice most people have a name in their respectful language and some have names in other languages. However you just have some weird symbols on your wrist, you’ve checked every language in the world and can’t seem to translate it. It isn’t until there’s an alien invasion that you realize your soulmate is an extraterrestrial… and they invaded Earth just to find you.
