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 đĽšđĽš
*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
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
âcause youâre a sky full of stars, iâm gonna give  you my heart
My piece for Lee @candybarrnerd who wanted Sheith playing sports and whatâs better sports than pair skating. Have a happy Vday!

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!!! Itâs so sweet!! They were talking about how Keith told Pidge, âEveryone has families,â and the show runners didnât have to mention Keithâs relationship with Shiro. But they did, so we get:
Lauren: âBut he would have come out to space for Shiro, cause Shiro was his family.
Joaquim: âThat is true.â
Lauren: âSo he understands, I think, as much as [Pidge] does, about needing to âsave that person in space.ââ (source)
And like, this combined with âShiro loves Keithâ and the fact that he brought Keith to the Kerberos launch with him, likeâŚwhat the hell was their backstory? How is it they grew so close, close enough to have found a home with one another? Itâs justâŚthis incredibly sweet thing. They both love each other very much and it warms my heard indefinitely,,Â
Anyway literally anytime Lauren or Joaquim bring up Keith and Shiroâs bond completely unprompted because theyâre just that close in canon,, itâs fucking amazing,,
Based on these tweets.

Star-Crossed Lovers
âTwo lovers -often teenagers- doomed to be kept apart no matter how hard they struggle to be together. It may be FateâŚ.or something as mundane as a few hundred miles separation, but something will always be in their way.â
First they were separated by the Kerberos Mission going wrong. For a whole year it was like this. (While Keith was alone he found those lion carvings that described some kind of arrival fated to happen that nightâŚ)
(With Keith not even expecting to find Shiro at the crash site.)
Then again in Across The Universe. Shiro and Keith fell onto that planet together, and at the last second their lions seemed to fling in opposite directions. (For some reason this one stands out to me for this trope. I mean, Hunk and Lance landed together, but why do these two always seem to be pulled apart?)
Shiro and Keith landed miles from each other. Then Keith ran to him and saved Shiro just in time, reuniting them once again.
Then in Blackout. After the fight against Zarkon Shiro doesnât respond on the coms, his lion seems like itâs out of power. Keith is the first one there, running to ShiroâŚ
But this time Shiro wasnât there. Somehow disappearing. (In someway that hasnât even been fully explained yet.) But then, because of the Black Lion sensing him (and Shiro being lucky enough to steal a ship), they finally find each other again.
Most of the things that keep them separated seems like really bad luck. Itâs something thatâs usually out of their control that keeps them apart. It happens again and again, and seems like it could keep happening.
(Note: Romeo and Juliet is a well known story with this trope. Very often Star-Crossed Lovers ends tragically with the Together in Death trope. I feel like it doesnât always have to end that way though. (Iâm just hoping for the best here.)Â âStar-Crossedâ meaning that the stars (destiny/fate) are against them. It certainly feels like something is always pulling these two apart.)
Love me some angst
Shiroâs Keith vision
if youâre a sheith shipper and you want to think about the âi love youâ line without also thinking about the âyouâre my brotherâ line, thatâs okay and ily. the brother line in no way should discourage you from shipping sheith, and it doesnât devalue their relationship in any way, but itâs understandable if you feel uncomfortable about it for any reason, especially because itâs going to be considerable anti fodder until the s6 hype dies down.Â
if youâre a sheith shipper and you want to think about the âi love youâ line in relation to the âyouâre my brotherâ line, thatâs 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. itâs objectively a beautiful moment. itâs the strongest and most explicit declaration of love in the entire series, and itâs 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. thatâs not up for debate in any way, shape, or form. itâs a good night for all of us sheith shippers thank you very much.

hi
Awakening feelings
Know what moves me to tears? Remember what Keith said in his vlog?
âI donât know why Iâm that way, maybe Iâm naturally untrusting because my mom left, so instead of accepting people into my life, I push them before they reject me.â
And yetâŚthere was one person he never truly pushed away.
And even after he found out about Shiroâs 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 Shiroâs 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.
LikeâŚthat hits super hard for me. No matter what, they are there for each other. They have each otherâs backs through thick and thin, life and death. And thatâs just so heartwarming.
Meet me halfway đ¤â¤ď¸ ( ig / twitter )
