Deeply misunderstanding the term “universal healthcare”, aliens have begun arriving in Canada, seeking medical attention. Canadians, being Canadian, are too polite to correct them.

did you know that harvard spents $100 million per year hiring a team of elite investment advisors to manage their endowment, which sounds like a lot of money until you realize that harvard’s endowment is $30 billion, and this crack team of investors manages to give harvard a stable rate of return on their investments of around 10% per year, meaning that harvard pays .03% of their endowment in order to earn $3 billion per year? did you also know that harvard’s dining hall workers had to go on strike two years ago because they earn $33,000 a year and they couldn’t afford to eat or pay rent or feed their families or go to the doctor

So I know its been months since I last made any sort of content for or contributed to this fandom, but I’m here to change that. With Haggar and Zarkon and Baby Lotor and angst.
Sorry.
- Honevra always knew that children where something she wanted along with a successful career and a loving husband. Well she became the best in her field on Altea and though she wasn’t expecting to fall for a Galra, she couldn’t be happier with Zarkon.
- When she brings up children to her husband, he’s thrilled. He wants five. Honevra laughs ‘lets see how we handle one or two first, my love’
- After more then three deca pheebs of trying, Honevra grows worried. Both she and Zarkon are healthy and doctors have assured her that shes able to carry a child so what could the problem be? She knows that bi-species couples sometimes had difficulties having children, but Galra where infamous for being the exception to that.
- She turns to science to give her the answer, but its not one she likes.
- The chances of an Altean and a Galra conceiving a child is less than 3.178%
- Honevra is heartbroken. She cannot have children with her husband. She cannot give him the big family he wishes for. She cannot have a child.
- Zarkon is just as heartbroken, but he swallows his grief and focuses on his beloved wife.
- Honevra turns to her work, using it to distract herself from her grief and keeps her mind too busy to grow depressed. Zarkon hovers over her more often, but she knows that he does it out of love and concern for her, so she doesn’t make him stop.
- They cannot have children together, but they continue on. Zarkon brings up adoption once or twice, but the ache is still to raw for Honevra. Maybe one day, when it hurts less.
- The arrival of Alfor’s daughter is like salt in a wound for Honevra, who grows bitter and resentful. She wants that. She wants a beautiful baby to hold close and treasure. She cannot have that.
- “It was a customary gesture.”
- Despite Alfor’s warnings, Zarkon couldn’t make Honevra stop her work, his wife needed it. It grounded her and helped her handle her grief more than he ever could.
- It was after Voltron was made that Honevra began looking at quintessence and wondering… Raw quintessence saved Kova when he was dying, perhaps it could help her to create life too…
- After the first time she injected herself with quintessence, she rechecked her and Zarkon’s compatibility for conception.
- 9.377%
- Their chances of having a child had more then doubled! With just a few more doses, they may actually… she could have a child!
- 14.286%
- She wants a child, she wants a child more than anything. Zarkon is worried, but he doesn’t stop her.
- 16.418%
- Perhaps is she gave herself a larger dose… She promised Zarkon she would wait as least four pheebs between injections, but she has wanted a child for so long and grows impatient.
- 27.914%
- She convinces Zarkon to take a dose of the quintessence too. He’s reluctant, but she’s always been good at getting her way with him and now is no different.
- 41.792%
- She starts to grow ill, unable to hold her meals down. She goes to a healer and is told she is with child. The child she has wanted more than anything for so long now grows inside her, but she feels no joy. How can she take time away from her work now, when she has only just scratched the surface on what quintessence is capable of?
- Zarkon is thrilled and his hovering increases by three, but he’s also confused about her lack of joy. He doesn’t bring it up.
- Lotor is born, beautiful and healthy and perfect. Her baby looks like her, with his fathers eyes and skin lacking her Altean markings and a shock of pure white hair.
- Honevra itches for a sample of her babies blood, wants to run tests and experiments to see how this Altean and Galra genes merge and mix.
- A part of her screams and she hands him off to Zarkon and a wet nurse instead.
- She goes back to her experiments and research and her work. She doesn’t have time to cuddle a fussy, drooling baby. She has much more important things to do then spend time with Lotor. She wants power, needs power more then anything else. Thankfully, Zarkon agrees with her.
old enough to remember when smut was called ‘lemons’ but young enough that i had absolutely no business knowing that smut was called ‘lemons’ at the time
Fucked up how women are expected to preform femininity to such an unreasonable, expensive and time consuming degree right now. Obviously that’s been an aspect of patriarchy forever but theres a late capitalist spin on it in our current period that’s just so extreme and unrealistic.. I feel like this is something people don’t see as getting worse but in, say, the 70s it was totally normal for women to go outside without foundation on. The degree to which women are expected to compete with other women in the amount of money and unpaid time they spend on their appearance every day has accelerated along with the acceleration and of global capitalism in general
There’s a massive feminist movement erupting in South Korea right now where women are posting pictures of their destroyed makeup collections in protest of the massive amounts of sacrifice they’re expected to make towards conventional beauty just to be employed or viewed as normal. I know liberals like to talk about this stuff being a choice but when thousands of people are saying that it ISN’T a choice for them, and is in fact something they feel cornered into that’s actively harming them, that’s something worth listening to
gentle reminder
it may be a long day, and it may feel like it’ll never be over, but it will be, and you’ll get through it - you’ve got this, we believe in you
Todoroki: What's the best way to kill someone?
Midoriya: Kindness!
Bakugou: If we're being stealthy, then potassium cyanide. Otherwise anything from a knife to a bazooka works.
