Ever think about the creative decision behind just casually choosing to reveal Shiro is attracted to dudes in the most Shiro and Keith centered episode out of aaaaaaall the places and times they could have done that in the show?
Annnd on the way also casually establishing that Shiro is in fact single right now, for no particular reason.. oh wait, it’s cuz they wanted to show he’s “been through stuff and is more mature than the rest"
damn I love this brotherly relationship lol
Close to you 🌌✨
Keith died, Shiro ran, but never far enough.
In which Keith still thinks Shiro is unavailable and would rather keep his feelings to himself, while Shiro has finally realized everything plus his own feeling a little too late.
“I’ll be back before you know it.”
some key parts from the new let’s voltron interview from the main story editor josh hamilton (he a long with tim hendrick is the major story editor for the show and now the the head story editor):
Q: A lot of people are saying The Black Paladins is their favorite episode of all of them.
JH: It deserves to be. You know probably why is cause it’s like… you know their emotional deep connection and they’ve been best friends and you know, mentor, and it’s not like just defeating some random bad guy. There’s so much more wrapped up in it. So yeah. That makes sense.
Q: So a lot of people were asking, he says “you’re my brother.” A lot of people were saying is that literal brother or is that just a you know, brotherly figure?
JH: It’s–a lot of the time the words don’t matter, it’s like the way you say it. You know what I mean? It’s like, he says you’re my brother, you know, and when he does eventually say “I love you,” those words matter. It’s like “you know you’re my brother, you’re everything to me.” You know, that brotherly love. So it’s hard for him. But no, literally? I hope I’m not spoiling anything, but no.
Q: [laughing] Literally I don’t think they could be related.
JH: [laughing] No.
“I want to say that that shot where the only two lions that you see kind of outside of the lions are the Black and the Red, and I just, I love those two shots where you’re looking outside through the Red and you see Keith and then you see the Black Lion in the background, and you’re looking at Shiro and you see the Red.”

Even on the verge of death, they’re still together.
