Know what moves me to tears? Remember what Keith said in his vlog?
“I don’t know why I’m that way, maybe I’m naturally untrusting because my mom left, so instead of accepting people into my life, I push them before they reject me.”
And yet…there was one person he never truly pushed away.
And even after he found out about Shiro’s disease, he still let Shiro in enough that he sabotaged his future when PILOT ERROR happened and left to live BY HIMSELF in the desert because of Shiro’s disappearance.
And Shiro?
The man just got his heart broken by one of the most important people in his life, and he decided to bring Keith to the launch.
Like…that hits super hard for me. No matter what, they are there for each other. They have each other’s backs through thick and thin, life and death. And that’s just so heartwarming.
If anyone was wondering “how come Uni did not reblog @akaiikowrites latest daddy kink fic like the instant the first chapter came out?” Well here’s the reason why.
I wanted to have a picture to go with it because my boo deserves nothing less. And I finally had a small window of time to execute my plan.
Don’t call me baby (Unless you mean it): Ao3
I’ve been pretty busy lately so so sorry OTL
I wish I could share the fruits of my labor with you (monster sheith zine) it’s going to be totally awesome! You have my word on it! I was bestowed with the honor of making the cover for the zine, plus I’m doing my own spread and some merch with the designs I have previously posted.
(This is kinda like why I see Shiro’s and Adam’s relationship as something that was only there to shine a light on Shiro’s relationship with Keith.)
So cuz of his illness Shiro probably thought he couldn’t do alot of things so he tried to break every record and do as much as he possibly can to prove it wrong, that was his way to deal with his disease.
So when he snaps at Adam “you dont need to protect me” it’s because he was probably treated as a sick and weak person all his life while trying to prove how strong he is.
So what Adam says with all it’s good intentions hits a very sensitive spot.
Shiro doesnt want anyone to think he’s weak, he wants ppl to see how strong and capable he is.
Keith did that every single step of the way. (like remember how I was going crazy trying to figure why their mentor/mentee relationship is upside down with Keith always being the one encouraging Shiro??)
This is also why Shiro was always hiding his troubles from the team, he’s probably been doing that since he was a child cuz he wanted ppl to think he’s strong.
So Adam wasn’t a bad person, he apparently just never understood Shiro and how much he needed the support and the faith in him and his abilities.
And Shiro needs to learn how to let himself be weak and accept help sometimes, that’s what his journey is about. He’s was probably partially only doing all that because he never really felt strong deep inside, and that’s what I hope Keith helped him with
I mean Keith is the ONLY person Shiro has shown weakness with, he allows himself to be weak with Keith and receive help and get saved by him. That MEANS SO SO MUCH considering all we know know.
So like the difference between Adam and Keith is that Keith always believed Shiro can do anything. Keith worried about Shiro but he never tried to hold him back. It was always “You can do this” instead of “you probably can’t do this so stand back” like Adam did (even thought it came from a good place)
Adam loves Shiro, and it hurts him to see Shiro put himself in danger. Like I completely understand him. After I actually watched the scene it’s very clear to me it’s not about “ur dream vs me”, it’s because it’s hard for him to see Shiro do this to himself over and over again, this endless chasing after “being strong and capable”. like that wasn’t easy for Adam, it’s like watching the person you love destroy their life without being able to do anything about that.
So I’m not surprised he had enough. But like that’s the thing…
Shiro WAS capable going on that mission. It’s like… I dunno on one hand Shiro always trying to prove how strong and capable he is hurting Shiro, but like Shiro’s faith in that he can do more and be more is also what brought him to where he is now despite of everything. Like…he survived. And cuz he fought for it.
And Keith was A HUGE PART OF THAT. Because when Shiro was weak he always picked him up and told him “That’s not you, you are strong and you’re gonna make it, And I will always be there waiting for you to get back (no matter how hard it might be for me)”
That’s what that episode was supposed to tell us I think.
And yeah, comparing Shiro’s significant other to Keith has no “platonic brotherly explanation”.
That is A THING
And what I think this was all about:
Fangy Boyfriends 🦷 ❤️🖤 something rough to help with stress and because drawing sheith makes me happy 😊
stuff from 2 months ago haha;
Meet me halfway 🖤❤️ ( ig / twitter )
UPDATE!!! SEE REBLOG IN THE NOTES BELOW FOR NEW LINK!
Okay, so many of you may remember when a wonderful fan (artfulclutz on Twitter) went through the VLD series, from the first season through S7E01 and pulled out just the scenes that focused on Shiro and Keith interacting and made them into a single video.
And it was an hour and twenty minutes long.
(In comparison, a similar video by an Allurance shipper produced about 35 minutes and a K-L one was exactly five minutes and thirty seconds long.)
Well, over on Twitter, there’s a new wave of people discovering Sheith through fanart and fanfic, and we would point them to the “Sheith Movie” in case they didn’t want to watch the entire series. And given both the renewed interest and the fact that some key S7 scenes weren’t included, artfulclutz decided to do a new version with both the missing scenes and some stuff here and there for context and maintaining storylines for those who still don’t want to watch the entire series.
Ladies and gentlemen, it’s three hours and forty minutes long.
(So please, tell us again how we were wrong to see Shiro and Keith’s evolving relationship as a linchpin of the series. Season 8 doesn’t count because there is no Season 8.)

Make sure you have 22GB available in the storage of your device of choice and you won’t have to do a payment thing to download it. But maybe toss a Ko-fi to artfulclutz if you have a few bucks to spare.
Go, view, enjoy!
