Sheith is good but wouldn't it be a horrible, confusing message for kids to have "you're like a brother to me" happen and THEN reveal a romantic relationship? Like, irl this complicated type of thing might happen but uhhh don't think we need to muddle the line between family and romantic relationships for young kids. that would really be a bad message. I don't think (hope tbh) it won't be canon for this reason

I mean, again, literally everyone on Team Voltron has referred to one another as found family. If you think sheith can’t be canon for that reason, no paladin ships can be:

Furthermore, this is Studio Mir. They made Avatar, and even though Aang and Katara get married, they still have that “you’re like a brother” thing going at first. Excerpt from The Ember Island Players:

Aang: “Did you really mean what you said in there?…when you said I was just like a brother to you and you didn’t have feelings for me?”

Katara: “I didn’t say that. An actor said that.”

Aang: “But it’s true, isn’t it?”

Harry Potter is also for kids. But Harry? Yeah, he thinks of Ginny as a sister at first. Still marries her. And again, this kind of thing is common for this particular archetype of relationships:

Literally the list goes on and on. Mistakenly thinking of someone as being like family before your feelings develop into something more is literally part of the natural arc of friends to lovers. This is plenty common in media for kids as well as adults, and I’m quite honestly sick of people pretending the friends to lovers trope is only okay if you’re straight but if not it’s somehow fucking gross. Especially considering how so many lgbt people like myself went through their childhood confused as fuck and thinking of their crushes as being just platonic or familial love because that’s the kind of thing internalized homophobia does to you. 

Hell, I even got scared and backed out of confessing to someone by saying I loved them like a sibling. And this is pretty common among lgbt people tbh. In that context Keith struggling with a crush on Shiro and not knowing how to classify his feelings or being afraid to admit it is extremely relatable and well written. 

I understand you think you’re trying to do the right thing here, but please don’t tell me what kind of representation would have helped me as a kid. 

sometimes I wonder if Keith's belief in not leaving anyone behind (like how he rescued a member of the blade of mamora regardless of Kolivan's disapproval) stems from how his father died saving the people in that burning building despite being told not to go in there; Keith's father died an honourable death and was so impactful to him that he decided to live by his father's selfless way of life, even if it could result in him getting killed while trying to save others

I can’t stop looking at what Barlee posted

There is absolutely no innocence in this man’s character design

Lauren said!!!! In the AfterBuzz interview!! That Keith would have gone to space for shiro, because Shiro was his family. This is so soft, so pure. I love Lauren so much, she didn't have to add that!! Name me a purer ship then Sheith, Leo, I'll wait. Impossible.

I heard about this and I just went skimming through the episode to find and!!! It’s so sweet!! They were talking about how Keith told Pidge, “Everyone has families,” and the show runners didn’t have to mention Keith’s relationship with Shiro. But they did, so we get:

Lauren: “But he would have come out to space for Shiro, cause Shiro was his family.

Joaquim: “That is true.”

Lauren: “So he understands, I think, as much as [Pidge] does, about needing to ‘save that person in space.’” (source)

And like, this combined with “Shiro loves Keith” and the fact that he brought Keith to the Kerberos launch with him, like…what the hell was their backstory? How is it they grew so close, close enough to have found a home with one another? It’s just…this incredibly sweet thing. They both love each other very much and it warms my heard indefinitely,, 

Anyway literally anytime Lauren or Joaquim bring up Keith and Shiro’s bond completely unprompted because they’re just that close in canon,, it’s fucking amazing,,

my beloved

“Hang in there, buddy.”

sheith on my dash lately has been making me feel like gojo when he heard suguru's voice after 10 years and had the homoerotic montage play in his head remembering the moments of his youth that was extremely pivotal to the entire narrative of jjk

Shiro is a fucking Disney princess
