keith workout rule #1: visualize sucess
Back to the beginning
if you’re a sheith shipper and you want to think about the “i love you” line without also thinking about the “you’re my brother” line, that’s okay and ily. the brother line in no way should discourage you from shipping sheith, and it doesn’t devalue their relationship in any way, but it’s understandable if you feel uncomfortable about it for any reason, especially because it’s going to be considerable anti fodder until the s6 hype dies down.
if you’re a sheith shipper and you want to think about the “i love you” line in relation to the “you’re my brother” line, that’s also okay and ily too. the line is a testament to how close they are, and context matters. keith is telling shiro how much he values him in a moment where shiro is vulnerable and obviously not acting like himself. it’s objectively a beautiful moment. it’s the strongest and most explicit declaration of love in the entire series, and it’s even more powerful considering it comes from keith who tends to struggle with vocalizing his emotions.
at the end of the day, do whatever makes you the most comfortable, but keith loves shiro. that’s not up for debate in any way, shape, or form. it’s a good night for all of us sheith shippers thank you very much.
My piece for Lee @candybarrnerd who wanted Sheith playing sports and what’s better sports than pair skating. Have a happy Vday!
adding onto this I wonder if shiro even knew whether this belonged to keiths father at first, but I think he would've noticed how the vest clearly isn't fitted to keiths size and then put two and two together sooner or later
(also keith putting him in a skin tight long sleeve undershirt and the fingerless gloves... keith definitely imagined some stuff when he pulled that out for shiro 🤭)
I think that the action of Keith giving his father's vest to Shiro is such an intimate show of how close he considers Shiro to be to him and how much he trusts Shiro with such a fragile memory of his past 🥹🥹
*ALSO THE FACT THAT SHIRO WEARS THIS SAME VEST FOR LIKE 90% OF THE SHOW LIKE HE DEF HAS OTHER CLOTHING OPTIONS AT THAT POINT BUT HE DELIBERATELY CHOOSES TO WEAR THE VEST THAT KEITH GAVE HIM OVER AND OVER AGAIN AUGGHHH IM SICK
only bad thing about a star is they burn up
“Hang in there, buddy.”

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.
