Another  Sheith Wip. I Have Way. Too. Many. Sketches…the Sketch For This Was So Old And Bad I Just

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

傷跡 + キス

“ʜᴇ'ꜱ ɪɴ ʏᴏᴜʀ ʜᴀɴᴅꜱ ɴᴏᴡ. ᴘʟᴇᴀꜱᴇ, ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ʜɪᴍ ꜱᴀꜰᴇ”

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

Okay remind me when Voltron became a horror series????????

“I will never give up on you”

Shiro was either abandoned by his parents because of his disease, or he’s one of the failed project kuron clones that somehow ended up on earth, cuz we know nothing of his family and cuz Shiro has this thing that he needs to be needed and he doesn’t want to be useless. 

Because of his disease he kinda wanted to prove everyone he’s worth something and that he’s strong and can achieve things everyone probably told him he can never do.

And that is also why he could understand Keith back then when he met him, because he knew that Keith was pushing ppl away by doin all those bad things because he was afraid of rejection, so he pushed ppl away before they had a chance to reject him.

Shiro was doing things out of the same reason, not wanting to ever feel abandoned. But he was not doing that by making trouble like Keith but was always trying to be as needed as he can be. You know this strong leader that takes care of everyone and stuff. He kinda pushes Adam away because he felt like he was being abandoned there too in a way probably. 

So both of Keith and Shiro’s biggest fear was abandonment.

So looking back you really see how Keith and Shiro saved eachother and how much their support of eachother and the ‘I will never give up on you’ meant to both of them. 

This is a such a beautiful love story, with so much thought that went into it. 

Anyways somehow I went down the Kuron rabbit hole and felt that type of sheith pain. Like he still loved Keith. He had no idea he was going to betray them all. He thought he was real, and he knew something was off but had no way to stop it. And he was the one to, even if for a moment, snap out of the brainwashing when Keith said he loved him.

And even fighting amongst all those clones, when it was so apparent that the Shiro standing in front of him likely wasn’t the original Shiro. Even if he had been acting a little odd before the betrayal. And despite this Shiro fighting him, Keith still said he loved him.

These bitches were soooooo in love. In a heart breaking and tragic love. Literally till the very end.

Keith looked at Shiro Like This during what he’d think were his last moments alive, as they both fell to their death.

Based on these tweets.

there’s a world that spins around you.

happy birthday, keith :)
