VLD Meta: Keith is in love with Lance

A lot of people have been discussing Keith’s love for Lance lately and as the klance tag hasn’t been too active, I thought I’d take the time to write a meta about it.

It’s very easy to know Lance likes Keith because he can be read like a book. His face when he says ‘he’s the future’ tells us everything we need to know. Keith, however, has always been harder to read. Fortunately, analysing his love for Lance is a lot less complicated than analysing Lance’s love for Keith because Keith’s attention has only ever been focused on Lance.

Let’s start at the start.

Before S1E5, Keith didn’t really care about Lance. He rose to his bait and challenged him, but that was it. They weren’t friends.

This scene is when that changed:

You could say Keith got a crush on Lance after this moment, but I prefer to say he became fascinated with Lance. It’s an intimate moment, Lance is smiling at him in a very soft way, and he tells Keith they’re a good team. We also know from Keith that he cradled Lance in his arms, possibly carrying him to a healing pod.

All it took was this one little moment- just one interaction that caught Keith’s attention and made him become intrigued by Lance- and he was on a fateful course from then on, whether he knew it or not.

At the end of the following episode, Keith smiles at Lance like this and then playfully flirts with him:

If you’re still not convinced he has feelings for Lance at this point, his expressions are the same as when Lance smiles at Allura and flirts with her, and we know that Lance canonically likes Allura.

For the rest of season 1, we get more soft smiles:

And we get moments where Keith shows his fascination with Lance. He initiates their playful teasing multiple times. He has a crush on him.

Onto season 2.

There wasn’t nearly as much in season 2, but the tropey elevator scene confirms that there’s some romantic tension between them. That trope is ALWAYS used on love interests. Keith also flirts with Lance when he says 'heh, like that?’ and raises his eyebrow in episode 4. Another interesting thing to note is that in the BOM episode, when Keith is yelling at Hunk, Pidge and Allura to be quiet, he yells at them twice but when Lance tells him to calm down, he turns away and says nothing. Make of that what you will.

To summarise so far: Keith has a crush on Lance and is fascinated with him, but it’s nothing serious. He actually acts flirtatiously towards Hunk in the weblum episode, so clearly he isn’t in love with Lance yet.

Season 3 is where his feelings start to shift towards love.

The first scene of them we get is this.

Yes, the other paladins also comforted Keith, but they were in group shots whereas Lance and Keith were the only ones in the frame not once, but twice. Lance also addresses him directly both times, and their open body positions and eye contact when he says 'you’re not the only one hurting’ clearly show a connection between them. This doesn’t prove Keith loves Lance, I’m just pointing out that special focus was given to these two for a reason.

Lance is again singled out in this scene, showing their connection.

Next, this is the most obvious evidence that he loves Lance.

His face is exactly the same as when he told Krolia he loves her (although that was platonic love). His soft voice here also shows his feelings for Lance.

I don’t think he was head over heels, devotedly in love with Lance at this point but it’s evolved from a crush. He’s nearly in the deep end, but not quite.

He and Lance continue to have a strong bond throughout the season. I think this frame is important:

This is more often used to prove Lance’s feelings, but I think it shows Keith’s, too. His eyes are literally shining and he’s smiling with his teeth showing. We don’t usually see Keith looking like this.

The final piece of evidence from season 3 is this:

If you look closely, his brows are slightly arched like when he says 'are you joking?’ and he has those lines above his eyes. Also, this is Keith we’re talking about, and he’s literally smiling at Lance in the middle of battle. He’s whipped.

Bonus from season 3: Flirting

So at this stage, I think Keith is in love to some degree. Everything indicates that it’s more than a crush. That begs the question 'then why did he leave the team?’ and to answer that, Keith’s actions don’t always revolve around Lance. He left the team because he felt he had to help with the blades’ mission. He wouldn’t let his feelings stand in the way of that.

Onto season 7.

Keith’s love for Lance wasn’t as apparent in his facial expressions and behaviour (i.e flirting) this season, and I’ll address that in a moment. But first, I’ll go over the evidence in S7 that he is still in love with Lance.

I’ve reached my image limit but in The Feud, Keith’s posture and expression when he said 'I just don’t wanna be stuck here with Lance’ were EXACTLY the same as Lance’s when he said “she just cares about everyone cause she’s awesome like that’. Added to that, Keith literally picked Lance, so that in itself is noteworthy.

In episode 6, Keith snapped at Hunk and Allura unprovoked. He didn’t snap at Lance once despite Lance insulting him. He also instantly calmed down when Lance told him there’s nothing out there, similar to the BOM episode from S2 and the S3 scene where Lance yelled 'Keith, don’t do this’. We also get Keith telling Lance 'we’ll see each other on the other side’ and teasing him with 'don’t miss’.

Keith and Lance formed the wings of Voltron together twice. Finally, Keith was sweating when Lance didn’t answer in E10. He also shouted the loudest and was the only one to shout his name twice.

Keith is in love with Lance, more deeply than in S3. He hasn’t seen him in two years and he probably thinks Lance is with Allura yet we still get these signs that he loves him.

So why didn’t he show it as much as before? Because unlike Lance, who wears his heart on his sleeve, Keith hides his feelings away when they get stronger. He loves Lance, he doesn’t think Lance would love him back, so he keeps his feelings suppressed to protect himself. We’ll see how it plays out in S8.

In conclusion: Keith was intrigued by Lance after the bonding moment, had a crush on him for the first two seasons and has been falling deeper in love with him since S3E1.

Literally nobody did that, but thanks for proving my point!

Keith and Axca only had to look at each other for everyone to be convinced they’re endgame meanwhile people still call klance a crackship, why are the straights so godamnn lucky

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

I'm literally bisexual,,

also imagine thinking Lance is straight, I HAVE TO LAUGH,, as a bisexual, HE'S BI

Yall got me fucked up.

“Why do people hate Klancers so much?”

“We didn’t do anything wrong.”

“Well I didn’t say that”

“Not all Klancers.”

Cool. We know. But more than half of you “good Klancers” are letting your fellow shippers get away with this shit. You ain’t off the hook and neither are the Sheithers who are also hating because they didn’t get what they wanted.

And not only is it Klancers it’s Fucking Sheithers too. Why Tf Yall complaining? Cuz none of Yall got what you wanted??

You all got me fucked up. Smh LANCE HOLDING THE LGBT SIGN DOES NOT MEAN JACK SHIT AND IF HE WAS CHOSEN FOR THE REPRESENTATION AND NOT SHIRO, YALL WOULDN’T BE SAYING SHIT ABOUT SHIRO POSSIBLY BEING GAY JUST CUZ HE WAS ALSO HOLDING IT. YALL WOULD CALL HIM AN ALLY.

Fuck yall and your ugly ass reaching.

As for the people who watched Voltron and love it for the action and plot and art, for the people who didn’t have tunnel vision for ships, it’s been an honor flying with you And I’m sorry I yelled. I’ll make Yall some cookies later.

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

compare Lance's expression to Shiro's. Shiro's eyebrows are pointing downwards whereas Lance's are turned up, which is typically used to show a character is feeling uncertain and anxious. Lance is also holding the sign with both hands whereas Shiro isn't. That isn't a reach, it's literally right there in the picture, so stop making yourself look stupid by arguing about it. The only reason the picture would be drawn this way is if Lance is LGBT. Clearly, it didn't make it into the show, and we'll never know what happened behind the scenes, but none of what I'm saying is some kind of wild theory, it's literal facts.

Yall got me fucked up.

you know what i hate?

i hate that i get all kinds of hateful replies and reblogs and anon asks and messages from people who glance at my blog for one second, see its klance centric, and automatically try to tear me up and claim I MUST be an anti I’m a SHITTY person how DARE I be so hateful, completely oblivious to the fact that if they scrolled down my blog for two fucking minutes they’d see I’m actually nothing close to a klanti…

and I get told all the time that all klancers are toxic horrible evil nasty people….

…but I have literally never had one positive or friendly interaction with an allurancer. not once. they’ve all treated me like fucking dog shit regardless of how civil i am. and nobody gives a shit about how badly they treat people. they’re just…allowed to. nobody cares. people applaud them for it, actually

obviously it’s not okay for klantis to be shitty people. sending anon hate is never okay, bashing people over a fictional ship is never okay, false pedophilia accusations are never okay, suicide baiting is never okay. like it’s just a fictional ship between characters. it’s okay.

but how tf can you say that and then IMMEDIATELY turn around and do the same thing to innocent klance shippers who havent done a damn thing wrong.

like i just joined this fandom when I started watching vld in early September, and literally THE DAY I MADE THIS BLOG I was getting called a klanti and being shit on. I had no fucking idea what a “klanti” was or why everyone hated klancers so much. I had no idea about any of the ship wars going on and I had no issues with other ships. and yet allurancers were shitting on me in a heartbeat at the first MENTION of liking klance.

i am SO sick of being ironically bullied by people who think i’m a bully for literally no other fucking reason than that i ship klance.

so i guess it’s okay to be a dick now as long as you just straight up lie and tell everyone the person you’re bullying was a dick first, huh

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

but it's literally the same scene,, the expressions are seconds apart,, you really thought you did something there huh

even looking at just the context and dialogue, Lance a) chooses to save Keith over the girl the writers want us to believe he's in love with and b) calls him 'the future' with a fond tone, which is unnecessary if he just thinks Keith is a good leader

congrats you just made yourself look like a fool

maybe the reason we all love lance is because he’s a big dumb bisexual idiot and we are also big dumb bisexual idiots

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

nice job deliberately ignoring the ones that DO match, real convincing argument you got there

maybe the reason we all love lance is because he’s a big dumb bisexual idiot and we are also big dumb bisexual idiots

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

aight but how come the expression on his face is exactly the same as when he flirts with/talks about Allura,, explain that one to me, my bisexual ass is waiting

maybe the reason we all love lance is because he’s a big dumb bisexual idiot and we are also big dumb bisexual idiots

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

Lance: I just think he's like...the future 😍😍

y'all: yeah that's definitely a het!!

maybe the reason we all love lance is because he’s a big dumb bisexual idiot and we are also big dumb bisexual idiots

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

me:

my brain: John Keats knew he was going to die because he was medically trained and recognised arterial blood. He suffered a slow, agonising death at the hands of his incompetent doctors. he also died with a broken heart and believing he was a failure as a poet.

me, sobbing: please stop

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

Keith letting Lance decide where all the passengers go in S7E2 is like when you get asked to hand out whiteboards in class so you give your friends the cleanest ones

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

The showrunners confirmed that he was just making up an excuse, and that should've been obvious considering that in the same season he co-lead the team flawlessly with him, formed the wings with him and refused to snap at him when he went space mad, so I still want the source

Does anyone have the source for Steven Yeun saying Keith doesn’t think about Lance?

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

ahhh i love them and actually love their new outfits

[chuuyasvoicecracks]

hi astro!! i rlly like ur metas. i was wondering if u had anything that discussed alluras future in depth? when it comes to the leak-- for me, i just cant see them killing her off but i can see v/d maybe making her the lion goddess that was believed to exist in s1. even if Allura is rebuilding a home for her people i cant see why she wouldnt be together with them at the end, and they have to settle for taking pictures w her statue. her not being there has to be bc she physically cant. 1/2

If those leaks are real, then I think Allura is on Oriande with Lotor since they’re the only two who can go there since they’re “chosen” which is why Coran and the mice are on Earth with the paladins and why Acxa, Ezor and Zerhrid all join the Blades under Keith.
