“Shiro is the black lion, and without him, there is no voltron!” I always found Keith’s wording really weird here I because I thought he should’ve said ‘shiro pilots black’ or something but it all makes sense after we find out where shiro was this whole time

dent-de-leon:

Not for anything, but on a subconscious level, Keith always knew Shiro had merged with Black’s consciousness. He does this very curious thing that whole time he’s piloting Black where he never refers to her as her own separate entity, but rather, an extension of Shiro. “I know this is what you wanted for me, Shiro. But I’m not you. I can’t lead them like you.” “Please, no.” “This one’s for you, Shiro.

He talks to her like Shiro’s right there, like he can speak to him through her. Shiro says that he and Keith had the deepest connection, that only Keith could ever truly reach out to him through the astral plane. “I tried to warn the others about the imposter on Olkarion, but our connection wasn’t strong enough.”

Quintessence sensitivity and his unfathomable love for Shiro was a pretty formidable match. Keith’s heart led him right to Shiro, even if he didn’t fully realize it yet.

new hot take: the vld crew isn’t homophobic, racist, sexist, etc. the cast and crew are fighting tooth and nail for the proper representation, despite the studio trying to change each and every one of their progressive ideas. and nah, they’re not queer baiting anyone. you’re doing that to yourself

in other words, you’re just salty

preach it!!
