Stress relief Voltron doodles, because even hardcore generals-turned-warlords need hobbies during their space travels. 😆 (Paladin colors, OF COURSE, lmao 😂) I secretly really love Zethrid and Ezor XD
Ezor and Zethrid are among the funnest villains on the show besides Haggar and Lotor-after-he-went-ax-crazy. i really hope we never get a moment where they’re defeated or even redeemed, they just leave or get wrecked team rocket style out of the battle field and reappear periodically to wreck the shit out of the heroes
for comparison Acxa was the worst as a villain. She was just, so bad at it. She couldn’t even do the secret evil plan thing right. Fitting that she’s space Zuko as he too, sucked at being evil.
I have a bit of an unsupported headcanon that Zethrid is in some way related to Ranveig, personally I think she’s his daughter. Cause I mean, the resemblance there, they’ve got similar ear shape and are both very thick and muscular people.
And even in personality to a certain extent. Ranveig is loud warlord who’s rather proud of his accomplishments. He definitely looks down on things that aren’t war as lesser.
Zethrid, while not as violent as he is, always shown this warlord mentality since she was introduced back in s3. In s3ep3, she was always goading Lotor on to fight. But also, she loves destruction and wrecking people, particularly those who’d give her a good fight. Heck, when she joined back with Lotor in s6ep6, she was all like “hey as long I as get to blow stuff up.” In some ways, this is similar to how Ranveig values strength and warfare over bureaucracy and diplomacy.
But the strongest piece of evidence I think, is how Zethrid has had these thoughts of being a warlord in s5ep6.
Just the way she talks bout it suggests that’s something she’s considered for a while, heck it seems something that’s natural to her and sees no issue suggesting it. Almost as if it was an idiosyncrasy she was brought up with, the idea of destroying her enemies to take their land doesn’t phase her one bit. if Ranveig’s her dad, this would make sense as he’d raise her to value war and strength through battle and conquest as admirable things.
There’s also too, how Zethrid’s pirate outfit is clearly empire styled armor. Contrast that with how Ezor’s outfit is very much typical pirate clothes. Zethrid presents herself as a genuine warlord like in the times of the old empire, which would make sense if she was raised with that old empire mentality.
Now the question is, why didn’t Zethrid have a moment with Ranveig in the Kral Zera if they’re related? Part of my theory is that Ranveig, while raising Zethrid, was ashamed of the fact that he had a “half-breed” child. He tried in all ways, to hide the fact that they’re related from the rest of the empire. Or if it was something that was known, he made sure people were hush hush about it. That pretty much fucked his relationship with Zethrid over, and the two of em weren’t on speaking terms at all. Heck, I’d say that Zethrid allying with Lotor pretty much killed any good connection the two had left. They hated each other, and Zethrid wasn’t that sorry to see him go. Maybe she mourned what could’ve been her relationship with her dad later, maybe with Ezor comforting her, but that’s not something she’d show in public. There’s no point of it either, if her father didn’t survive the Kral Zera then he wasn’t strong, just as he would always say.
(A sidenote, but ain’t it fitting that they both lost their left eyes? Like that would be a piece of irony if it turns out that Zethrid is related to Ranveig.)
