tell me abt lance’s history with catholicism. :}
disclaimer: i am not a catholic and i know little abt it...i was raised w/o religion but went to a christian school for years so any/all info i have here is...based on vague osmosis of information from that/media lksjdflksjdflksdj. also i think i did attend one catholic mass once but it wasn’t on purpose and it was Mad stressful
yeah i think lance’s family would be catholic lol but that’s not exactly controversial and seems to be the fanon interpretation overall
however i think lance...never would’ve really believed in it
i’m just imagining little tiny lance at mass trying desperately to sit still with undiagnosed ADHD...
his mom CONSTANTLY has to remind him of all the little things he’s meant to be doing. he does the sign of the cross hand motion incorrectly for YEARS and he always forgets to do the kneeling thing before he enters the pew
he will never remember all the prayers and stuff. his mom and dad r really devout about praying the rosary when mass starts and he just watches them and fidgets in his seat the whole time because he literally cannot remember what he’s supposed to be doing or saying
he always hates that no one wants to talk during church bc they’re all praying. he tries to sit and pray but he’s like? not sure what to pray for?
10 year old lance: uh...dear god...help me do that cool trick on my bike i’ve been trying to do. and? i have a math test coming up? ok cool thanks
he then looks around and realizes he’s still supposed to be praying. instead he sits there and imagines all his transformers at home and plays with them in his head
his mom keeps having to nudge him bc he’s making sound effects under his breath
most of mass for him is just phasing out and trying to pay just enough attention to stand when everyone else stands or kneel when they kneel or whatever
he likes after church though because his mom always lets him play with the other kids in the parking lot while she talks to all her church friends
as he gets older, he gets more stressed out by church. he feels...guilty, a lot of the time, and especially so once he starts realizing he crushes on boys
the catholic church doesn’t really have a great track record with the gays. even when they aren’t talking about it, he knows that he would be in trouble if he ever said anything about being bi
he once confesses feeling things for boys during confession
13 year old lance: i have a friend, elliot. he’s nice. but...sometimes i think he’s really pretty. is that okay?
priest: listen to me closely. you are being tested by the devil--
lance: haha cool i was just kidding ANYWAYS
he never says anything again
when he goes to the garrison at age 14, it gets...easier
he doesn’t really keep up with doing any of the catholic stuff. he feels less guilty, though
he still wears his cross necklace...he just hides it under his uniform
when they go to space with voltron, it’s about the same, he just doesn’t really have time to think about it
it’s easier to avoid without his weekly calls to his mom. it’s not even like she brings it up, but he just feels guilty whenever he’s not 100% honest with her
he’s pretty sure he’ll never tell her, though.
especially once he dies. it’s really hard to believe in things after that, especially things that tell him he’s wrong for loving who he loves
especially when there’s a boy that he’s falling more and more in love with every single day
they eventually get back to earth, and he’s not sure what will happen next, but his mom doesn’t seem keen to press him on his religious affiliations after he’s been missing for so long
his cross necklace now sits in a special box in his room. he still likes it, even if he doesn’t want to wear it daily
this seems sad towards the end don’t talk to me but! anyways i hope that was enough sldjflksjdf it got really long sorry
