"I Died, Keith.” 

Close to you 🌌✨

ok so I know a lot of people were slightly disappointed that Keith didn’t have much screen time (there there), I know I was. But it was still good. I enjoyed Shiro snapping and pulling rank… kinky.

is it wrong to be aroused by your own art?

@akaiikowrites here’s some more wood for your fire

and just plain ol’ wood for the rest of you

“I’ll be back before you know it.”

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. 

in case anyone was wondering im still obsessed with @akaiikowrites fic DCMB and i literally spent all day at work thinking about how much i wanted to draw this scene and im completely knackered so its super messy sry but here we are

“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.”

“Lauren storyboarded that scene.”

dent-de-leon’s meta: 

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

ohhhh my god

With the knowledge that Adam gave Shiro an ultimatum—him or the mission, this scene gets a whole new meaning to me. A way more painful one. Because as you may remember, the real Shiro was watching this

Shiro, who was forced to pick between his partner or the mission, would never make someone else pick between him or their family. Shiro knew how painful that was.
