I know that cringe culture is dead but I reserve the right to use the word “cringe” in circumstances where it simply cannot be avoided. For example: antis in the Voltron fandom calling the show “the v slur” because their ship didn’t become canon. Just… no. No. Stop that. Stop misusing words.

Shiro when other people try to protect and take care of him:

Shiro when it’s Keith:

The fact that Shiro is able to let himself be vulnerable with Keith, that he doesn’t always have to shoulder the weight of the world alone and can learn to lean on someone else and ask for help–that’s a huge part of his overarching character arc. He’s able to let his guard down with Keith; there’s an implicit trust there. Which is especially heartfelt given how rare it is for media to depict strong masculine characters as being able to show weakness with one another. 

Shiro never expresses any of that ingrained anxiety when Keith defends him; he knows Keith would never look down on him or pity him for showing weakness, knows Keith of all people believes in him and his ability. Sees him as more than his illness, his status, his leadership. And more than anything, Shiro takes comfort in that tender care Keith offers–he leans into his touch rather than pulling away. It’s the kind of intimate understanding he’s ached for and deserves.
