Black Paladin Keith (detailed analysis)

Okay, so I did promise you guys an analysis. I did not expect to get this done so quickly but this moron who wanted validation on the mini-meta did made me angry enough to put this out there because *shrilly Angelica from Rugrats voice* Omg Keith and Black were such dicks to Shiro, aren’t they just horrible beings? Yeah, you guys just saw my petty side which I normally only show to close friends but to the sane VLD fans out there, I feel sorry for us having a fandom like this, we deserve better. So whether you agree with all this analysis or not, don’t be a toxic jerk. You can hate Keith all you want - I’m not a huge fan of Lance and don’t support LGBT stuff (unless canon and there are some exceptions too) but I’m not going to turn into Angelica from Rugrats on anyone who disagrees with me. 

So, the first screenshot is from Season 2 episode 1. Shiro is being attacked by giant lizards and Red is out of commission. Keith is not the Black Lion’s Paladin but the way he respects her is shown in the two screenshots below.

The way Keith speaks to Black despite his tone is so respectful. He’s not sure if Black will accept him because at this point, she’s not his lion but he talks to her and he waits for her. Also, some people may not consider this a huge deal but this is season 2 Keith. The Keith who literally blows up at everything - not calling him out, he is my favourite but unlike certain character fangirls, I won’t deny he has flaws because it makes him even more awesome.

Now, we’re going to jump onto s3. I know what some people are going to think. Keith was impatient with Black when he became her Paladin at first but like, give the kid a break. He’s just lost Shiro and been forced into a position he never asked for. Not to mention, Black isn’t as fast as Red is and that takes some getting used to.

So I’m going to go onto another episode after clone Shiro returns because this to me, highlights how quickly they bonded. Angelica from Rugrats also mentioned that Black Lion knew the clone wasn’t the real Shiro because she was in communication with the real Shiro. She knew it was not the real Shiro but saying she was in communication with him, I don’t know were we really ever given proof that lions retaining the essence of their Paladin was a voluntary thing?

Not to mention, how do we know Haggar didn’t give clone Shiro some ability to trick Black? Alfor made the lions from Altean alchemy but Haggar is also Altean. However, those are theories for another time. I would like to bring your thoughts to this conversation in season 3 episode 6 of Tailing the Comet.

Okay, so the reason I am giving these screenshots one by one is so I can explain myself a bit better. I may have to split this meta into a few parts too. Okay, so basically in this scene, clone Shiro who we believe to be Shiro at this time is trying to remember what happened. Keith tells him the last thing that happened was he had unlocked Black’s ability to teleport and the first thing he thinks is that Black was trying to protect Shiro. It’s the first suggestion he offers. This is the lion he didn’t even want to bond with because he was replacing Shiro but it took what? 4 episodes and he’s bonded with her and thinks so positively of her. And the scene isn’t over yet but I will mention a potential trigger warning here that there is victim blaming and victim shaming in the continuation of this scene. So please take care of yourself and do not hurt yourself to read this meta if you are triggered by that.

Clone Shiro in this scene tries to put all the blame onto the Black Lion. Angelica back there may argue that Keith was being a dick here though because this fandom sadly is toxic enough to be okay with victim blaming if Shiro is the one doing the victim blaming, clone or not. Sorry guys! I don’t hate Shiro, he’s actually one of my favourite characters believe it or not. But I hate what fans have turned such a wonderful character into and you can tell I’m still mad at this moron.

Ok, but look Keith is defending her. Keith is defending his lion from who he thinks is his brother - still think they’re not the perfect partners? Not to worry, I have one more evidence and this time, it’s not from Keith’s end either. It’s from the Black Lion’s because it’s at but the good news? I won’t have to do a second part because I should be able to fit this all into one meta. Ok, so this next scene is still from Tailing the Comet. 

Keith did not like the the slight competition between himself and Shiro. It put him in a position of choosing between Shiro and Black and although he ultimately chooses Shiro, it is a mistake and he acknowledges this in a later episode. But you saw earlier that Keith defended Black but the relationship is not one-sided. Black takes a stand for him too in that ‘no, I want Keith’ to the point that Keith basically has to remove himself completely, not just stepping aside for a singular battle because he doesn’t want conflict with Shiro and at this stage, he’s weak and honestly, a little codependent. It makes sense given his childhood that he would be but I never realised he was before. 

Now, we could argue that Keith and Red had a very mutual relationship too. I do not deny this - Keith has a beautiful relationship with both his lions as Keith is a character that loves very deeply. Red responded to that by being loudly protective while Black is more a quiet protective where you will not see her coming. I think I will do a two-parter to this. S6-8 do not have too much for them so it’ll be a shorter part than this but there are moments showing their bond.

I have given my screenshots as evidence for you but Keith and Black are healers for each other. Black was abused by Zarkon and Shiro was abused by Haggar, so the two had this in common but that was the only thing they had in common. Keith, once he gains confidence in himself is exactly like the kind of leader Black is. He’s emotional but he also thinks. I know a lot of Shiro fans are like: are you calling Shiro a bad leader? No, I’m just saying Keith is a better leader of Voltron. Shiro is a great leader - he helped them build alliances but Keith being the leader of Voltron and Shiro being the leader of the Atlas was a very smart choice. When Shiro was the leader of Voltron, he always was stressed and wanted to be the protector, making some bad decisions because he took much onto himself. There are a few examples of this too such as him taking all of Voltron to save Allura - they could have come with a better plan. Or continuing to shoot at cube monster despite Pidge trying to warn him and it nearly getting them all killed for not listening to her. Pidge is always right, Shiro. Have you learnt nothing? But compare this to how Shiro is when being the commander of the Atlas. He’s still a leader and he’s the one who gives orders but he doesn’t have a responsibility to protect them because they’re younger. 

But just to wrap by what I mean by Keith thinks. As most of you know I’m a Kallura fan, so Keith saying they shouldn’t go to save Allura in s1 did break the heart of this Kallura fan. But Keith had no idea how to people then - if he did, he was basically saying let’s not form Voltron and go save her head-on but he worded that very poorly.

This is just one example, of course from early on. Has he made hot-headed decisions as the leader of Voltron? Of course, he’s a flawed character but he grows to be the kind of leader Black is. Quiet and commanding but never overtaking anyone else. I think I’m going to ask you guys - do you want meta of Keith and Black from s6-8 or is this enough to make you think? 

Also, if you are toxic or a jerk, I will not reply to your comment. You are entitled to your opinion - I firmly believe you can express that opinion in a civil and humane manner. If you can’t, I will block you.

Krolia: As you know, the Galra take adoptive familial bonds very seriously.

Shiro: I have heard this, yes.

Krolia: Now, it would not matter as much if you were not also Galra now. However, since you are, and since you have claimed Keith as your brother, that now makes me your mother.

Shiro: ...I am still wrapping my head around that idea, but I guess that tracks with everything I've learned?

Krolia: Excellent. Which is why you are also grounded Shiro.

(Adam is trying very hard not to laugh in the background. Keith is not even trying to hide it, even though he is also extremely grounded.)

Shaxx: ❝ Right. What is Mara Sov's deal? Is she single? ❞

Cayde: ❝ What- no. She's dating Sjur, come on. The question is: ❛ Who here does the best impression of Commander Zavala? ❜ You will be judged on voice, body language, and overall lack of flair.

Ghost, also in his best Zavala voice: ❝ Looks like a sticky pillow... ❞

Cayde: ❝ I don't care for it... Classical music. ❞

(everyone laughs)

Zavala: ❝ What's going on in here? What are you all doing? ❞

Cayde: ❝ Commander! Hey! Nothing, just- eatin' some marshmallows. Care for one? ❞ (slowly pushes him the bag while everyone watches with baited breath)

Zavala: ❝ Marsht-mellow... ❞ (eats one, begins giggling with delight at the taste)

Drifter, grinning in smug pride: ❝ Ha! I knew it. ❞

VLD S7E9: Know Your Enemy

Season 7 Episode 9: Know Your Enemy

Transcript by @dragonofyang

Episode Summary: Hearing that Sendak has taken over Earth, the Paladins hide their Lions on Saturn before landing incognito and discovering all the destruction Sendak has wrought, as well as the innovation found within the last free stronghold on Earth: the Galaxy Garrison.

[Google Doc]

Pidge: Dad, please respond. Voltron is coming. Hold on.

Hunk: Are we too late?

Sam: Katie? Katie, is that you?

Pidge: Dad, it’s me. I’m here.

Sam: Katie, I’m so glad to hear your voice. Where are you?

Pidge: We’re within the solar system. Heading to Earth now.

Sam: Wait! You must stop!

Keith: What? Say again?

Sam: Stop. Sendak has invaded the planet. He’s taken over Earth. If he finds out that Voltron is here, he’ll threaten the people of Earth in exchange for the Lions.

Keith: Reverse thrusters!

Hunk: Copy that. Hold tight!

[Cut to Garrison Command.]

Sam: Pick up those Galra ships’ locations. We need to scramble any transmissions immediately.

Curtis: Scanning location. I got it. They’re opening a channel. Triangulating position for broadcast. Sending interference.

[Cut back to space.]

Sam: Paladins, we blocked the patrol’s transmission. You’re clear.

Lance: Roger that. Let’s take ‘em out!

Pidge: Wait! Don’t destroy that ship. We might need it.

Lance: Really? For what?

Pidge: I’ve got an idea. We can’t fly our Lions to Earth without being spotted, so they’ll have to stay here on this moon in Saturn’s rings, which should keep them hidden from Sendak’s radars. We’ll fly in another way.

Allura: I hope the mice and Kaltenecker aren’t too frightened without us.

Keith: Hang on! We’re entering Earth’s atmosphere.

Hunk: This is weird. This is almost exactly how we left Earth, crammed in the cockpit of the Blue Lion.

Keith: We’re overweight. I’m losing altitude! Brace for impact!

Hunk: Hey, I know this place. I’ve been here. This is Plaht City. It’s about a half an hour from the garrison.

Lance: Woah, I can’t believe this is all that’s left of it.

Keith: We need to get to the garrison. Stay together. Let’s move quick and quiet.

[Scene change to the interior of Plaht City.]

Lance: Woah! Take cover!

Keith: I’ll distract it, you take the shot. Don’t miss. I wonder how many of these things they have around here. Pidge, any chance we could see those things before they get to us?

Pidge: Already on it. Looks like we’ve got four more headed our way.

Shiro: It’s not drones. Look.

Rizavi: Stay down, we got this!

Keith: I had it!

Griffin: Drones send distress signals when they’re attacked. Our weapons neutralize those signals. So unless you wanna deal with a swarm of those things, let us handle it. Now let’s get out of here before more show up.

[Scene change to the Galaxy Garrison.]

Pidge: Mom!

Colleen: Oh, Katie, I’m so glad you’re home!

Veronica: Lance!

Kids: Uncle Lance!

Lance: Oh, hey!

Mrs. McClain: My son!

Lance: It’s so good to see you.

Veronica: We never gave up on you.

Lance: I missed you so much. Oh, my gosh. You two are so much bigger now.

Lance’s Nephew: You’re the same size.

[Flashback 1 begins.]

Hunk’s Niece: Hey, Hunk.

Hunk’s Nephew: We’re going to miss you so much now that you’re going to be a space explorer.

Hunk: Well, I don’t know about space explorer. I was thinking more of a mechanic for space explorers.

Niece: Can you build us a spaceship?

Hunk: Uh, well, I don’t need to because we’re already in one.

[Flashback 1 ends.]

Sam: It’s good to have you home.

Hunk: So, my family?

Sam: We’ll get them back soon.

Iverson: Officer Shirogane. It’s great to see you again. My apologies for throwing you in quarantine.

Coran: Ah, so you’re the one who strapped Shiro to a table. I heard about that.

Shiro: You were just following orders, as any good soldier would. It’s great to see you, too. Allow me to introduce you to our Altean allies. Meet Allura, Romelle, and Coran.

Iverson: The honor is mine. Your technology has been instrumental in defending this small corner of Earth.

Coran: Oh, yes. Pop-Pop was quite the genius.

Iverson: And Cadet…

Keith: Yes, sir.

Iverson: I owe you an apology as well. I’ve heard about all you’ve done. I was wrong about you. It’s an honor and privilege to see you again.

Keith: Thank you, sir. I guess I wasn’t exactly the best cadet back then. I probably owe you a bit of an apology, too.

Iverson: Ah, and who’s this little fella?

Coran: Oh, Kosmo likes you. But be careful. If you touch it, it could zap you to a different universe.

Iverson: Hm?

Coran: Seriously.

[Scene change to inside the garrison.]

Shiro: Adam… I’m sorry.

Iverson: It’s because of them that Earth still has a chance. It’s time for our debriefing.

[Scene change to the Garrison meeting room.]

Sam: Sendak’s forces remain at bay, but without a meaningful supply line, we’re slowly being suffocated.

Shiro: No one else is putting up a fight against Sendak?

Veronica: Small pockets of underground resistance have attempted to do so with varying degrees of success. Eventually, all were discovered and systematically wiped out. Earth’s offensive capabilities simply don’t stand a chance against the Galra.

Hunk: Why don’t we bring more people into this base?

Sam: We’ve had to put a halt on our extraction ops as they were proving to be too risky.

Hunk: But there are good people out there. They could be protected. My family’s out there.

Sam: I’m sorry, Hunk.

Hunk: But if we have an opportunity now–

Griffin: Hey, do Paladins not understand the chain of command? Your CO said it was too dangerous.

Sam: Officer Griffin, that’s enough. Believe me, I understand what you’re going through, Hunk. We all have family out there, but we have to weigh our options. We can’t lose ten people to save twelve. I’m sorry.

Allura: Well, then let’s find out what we can do. You said you’ve integrated Altean tech with Earth weaponry?

[Scene change to a hangar bay.]

Sam: The Mecha-Flex-Exo fighters, or MFEs, are extremely agile with advanced weaponry, but are only capable of short-range attacks. Sustaining power with Altean-infused technology is an issue we’re trying to overcome.

Coran: Maybe I can help you out with that. I do have some leftover faunatonium. It’s an Altean fuel additive, but also has some unexpected side effects, so don’t get any on you.

Sam: And this is our battleship. It’s large enough to house all of the Lions and an entire command unit.

Sanda: It’s built, but it can’t fly. Everyone, there’s a subject we can’t avoid any longer. Sendak attacked Earth because he wanted the Lions, and now they’re here. It seems that we at least need to discuss our options.

Shiro: Are you suggesting that we willingly hand over the Lions to the Galra?

Sanda: Our supplies are gone. We spent all our resources on a ship that doesn’t fly. The weapons we do have are not enough to mount an attack. All we can do is protect a small pocket of Earth. But for how much longer?

Sam: The universe needs the Lions.

Sanda: So does Earth. They’re our only bargaining chip.

Sablan: I agree with the Admiral. Earth has been nearly destroyed. Countless citizens have been lost. But it could all be over if we give up the Lions.

Iverson: We have a fighting chance now that the Lions have returned. We need to take it.

Allura: I’ll settle this argument right now. We’re not giving up the Lions under any circumstances. There is no negotiating with Sendak.

Sanda: Maybe you should leave the matters of Earth to the people who live here.

Shiro: Please, Admiral. I respect that you’ll do anything you can to protect Earth. But trust us, we’ve been through more than you could ever imagine. We have fought the Galra on the fringes of the universe and in their very home. I know there’s a way to defeat Sendak.

Sanda: How? We barely know what we’re up against. We need intelligence, and we just don’t have it.

Allura: Maybe we do. That information you downloaded from the Castle of Lions contains Sendak’s memories.

Sam: How does that help?

Pidge: It might give us some insight into Sendak’s plan. Allura, you’re a genius!

Sam: We just need some time.

[Scene changes to the server room of the garrison.]

Sablan: Everything from the castle is stored here. Processing the massive amount of complex Altean data takes nearly every node we have. Sifting through that much information is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Pidge: Then let’s get started.

[Scene changes to the IGF-Atlas.]

Coran: I’m actually quite impressed, despite the obviously crude nature of Earth’s technological capabilities.

Sam: It has a lot of potential, but I’m unable to recreate the power of a Balmeran crystal. Maybe your faunatonium will work for this as well?

Coran: Afraid not. A ship like this might need two or three battleship-class Balmeran crystals.

Shiro: I don’t suppose there are any Balmera nearby?

Coran: In this young galaxy? [guffaws] Oh, yeah, it’s right next to the Wizblattle. Uh, that’s a no. No Balmeras around here.

[Scene change to the server room.]

Sablan: Those are Officer Holt’s designs for some of the injured soldiers. They’re extremely advanced, but like everything else, we don’t have an adequate power source to make them viable.

Pidge: Here they are– Sendak’s memories. It’s just code until we find a way to interpret it.

Allura: I might know a way.

[Flashback 2 begins.]

Hunk: Found it.

Hunk’s Father: Good job, Hunk. Now, you remember what to do.

[Flashback 2 ends.]

Hunk: [groans]

Keith: Is everything okay in here?

Hunk: Yeah.

Keith: Look… I’m not really good at talking with people, and I… I don’t expect you to open up to me, but… if there’s ever anything on your mind–

Hunk: This situation stinks! I ca–I can’t believe we finally get back to Earth and it’s taken over by Galra.

Keith: I guess there is something on your mind.

Hunk: And I know–I know it’s stupid, but I used to daydream about coming home to a peaceful Earth. And that would’ve been great. But I realized that nothing… nothing would have been greater than seeing my family. But I can’t. And all I keep thinking about is that I wasn’t there for them. And I don’t even know if they’re okay. An–and I see Pidge and Lance with their families, and–I, I mean, I’m happy for them. I am. But it just… it makes me miss my family more. I–I just… I’ve never felt so alone and scared.

Keith: Look, Hunk, I never told you this, but of all the Paladins, you’re the one I’m most impressed by. It’s no secret that you’ve always been the most scared, but you’ve never backed down. Never. And to be brave is to go on in spite of fear. And that’s who you are, Hunk. I know you’re scared, but your family… they need you to be strong right now. Okay. Alright. Now we’re huggin’.

Hunk: Thank you, Keith.

Keith: Wha– Where’re you going?

Hunk: I’m going to get my family.

Keith: Not without me.

[Scene change to a vehicle bay.]

Griffin: You two heading somewhere?

Keith: This doesn’t concern either of you.

Veronica: No, but you’ll probably be concerned with the patrol drones that will spot you within seconds.

Griffin: And you might be concerned with the blast from Sendak’s automated low-orbit, long-range blaster satellite that takes you out.

Hunk: What’s your problem?

Griffin: My problem is I don’t wanna see our only hope for saving Earth get hurt. That’s why we’re coming with you.

[Scene change to the server room.]

Pidge: Uploading… And… there.

Sam: Whoa. Amazing!

Pidge: We’re mimicking the way the Castle of Lions interacted with King Alfor’s memories. Test it out. Ask him a question.

Sam: Um, alright. What is your name?

Hologram!Sendak: I am Commander Sendak, a royal officer to the Galra Empire.

Sam: Where are you from?

Hologram!Sendak: I am proud to say I was born with unquestionable Galra lineage.

Sam: Commander, explain to me your method of conquering planets.

Hologram!Sendak: There are as many ways to conquer a planet as there are planets themselves. Primitive species are the easiest. It usually doesn’t take more than one or two waves of attack to bring them to their knees.

Allura: What about more advanced civilizations?

Hologram!Sendak: There are always those willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good. That’s why it is best to find something they value more than themselves and make that the target.

Pidge: What do you mean?

Hologram!Sendak: Citizens of advanced civilizations have the weakness of caring for each other.

Pidge: A military operation of that scale takes immense time and resources.

Hologram!Sendak: Our operations rely on the resources of the planet. They become our supplies and feed our occupation.

Sam: Have you ever failed in overtaking a planet?

Hologram!Sendak: Tenacity and time conquer all foes.

Allura: What if a planet refuses to give up, no matter the cost?

Hologram!Sendak: If a planet refuses to give up, then we annihilate it. But only one planet has ever refused. Altea.

Allura: I’m sorry, I think I need a break.

[Scene change to beyond the Garrison.]

Griffin: She did it. The signal’s sent.

Hunk: Okay, now what?

Griffin: Now we wait.

[Flashback 3 begins.]

Hunk’s Mother: Okay, just about done.

Hunk: Oh, I hate waiting.

Hunk’s Mother: But waiting’s the best part. It’s the time we get to spend together.

[Flashback 3 ends.]

Rebel: Come with me, quickly.

[Cut to a hideout.]

Rebel: Amazing. The rumors are true. Word of the Paladins’ return has inspired the resistance.

Hunk: Thank you for your help. Tell the resistance we’re gonna get rid of the Galra.

Rebel: Words we’ve waited a long time to hear.

Veronica: Is this where they’ve taken all the prisoners?

Keith: What are they doing down there?

Rebel: They have work camps operating day and night mining ore for Sendak. It’s been nonstop for months. He’s building something, but no one is sure what.

Veronica: I thought the labor force was outside the encampment.

Rebel: They were, but they’ve been moved in.

Hunk: What does that mean?

Veronica: It means… we can’t get you to your parents.

Hunk: No. No. Please.

Veronica: Believe me, if there was a way, we would do it.

Hunk: Can I at least see them from here?

[Scene change to a lab in the garrison.]

Shiro: You wanted to see me? I thought you were with Pidge and Sam.

Allura: Sendak’s memories were hard to hear. But it did remind me of something my father once said. He told me that there are those with the power to destroy, and those with the power to create.

[Scene change to the labor camp.]

Keith: I see movement. It looks like the workers are exiting.

Hunk: That’s them. My mom, my dad. Don’t worry, you just need to hang on a little longer. We’re going to get you out. I’m going to get you out.

[End.]

More Adashi AU

- Adam talks to Shiro while Shiro pilots the Atlas, Adam says some words that feel like a goodbye and Shiro calls out to him. He thinks Adam is dead (Adam was able to evacuate his plane before it crashed with the Galra)

- Upon hearing that the Galra are coming, Shiro and Adam argue over Adam being involved

- Once the quartet of Matt, Adam, Shiro, and Keith are reunited Matt and Keith hound Shiro like annoying brothers for leaving Adam and Keith behind

- Adam saying the words "we're going to get you to the medbay and once you're all healed up we're going to have a sparring match where I throw you around like a rag doll" / "don't ever worry me like that again. I don't know if I can ever take a loss like that again"

-Adam infiltrates Galra forces and travels with them in space. Shiro can't believe what he sees when he thinks Adam is willingly working with Galra

-with Kerberos being considered a bust bc of "pilot error" The Garrison wants to send others into space to retrieve the Kerberos crew. Voltron crew finds Adam's ship just floating in space with no life force seeming to be inside. They investigate to find Adam on the floor and alone. Turns out there's barely enough oxygen for even a new born let alone a grown adult (bonus if Adam's ship was hit with quintessence); Shiro refuses to leaves Adam's side while he's in the healing pod

-Adam somehow being used to help power the Galras main ship that attacked earth like some Alteans were

-They never confessed their feelings so when Shiro is determined to go on Kerberos Adam just sits with his feelings and waits; both thinking they've missed their chance with the other (cue Matt, Keith and Pidge trying to get them together when they reunite)

-Soulmate/soul marks AU where Shiro and Adam do not meet until Shiro comes back from space

- (shout to Chibi-pix for this one) Adam is like a brother figure to Pidge which results in Keith and Pidge being siblings causing Iverson to lose his mind bc Keith and Pidge are Matt and Shiro 2.0s (Lord help him when an Adam 2.0 enters the picture); Adam and Shiro are blissfully aware of their siblings antics but act like they aren't

-Kuron goes to Earth and kidnaps Adam

-Shiro is forced to choose between Keith and Adam

- They start off as a one-sided rivalry until an incident forces them together and they start to get to know each other

-Both are cadets and one has a significant other while the other is pining hard (s/a with the significant other doesn't last long, significant other also happens to be mutuals with Adam and Shiro)

-Shiro trains and gets a bad bruise on his neck that everyone thinks is a hickey until Adam returns from a trip (cue Keith defending Shiro but the other Paladins and co think maybe Shiro cheated)

-Shiro confesses to Adam one night but acts like he doesn't remember it then he and Adam spiral in their feelings

Finding Thane at the Hospital

[poorlytunedukulele]

Azra repressed the urge to fidget, letting her eyes flit back around the circle. She was out of her element in the worst way. Speeches? Storytelling? The weight of all of the attention was suffocating. But unless she wanted to have this conversation a dozen different times with a dozen different people, this was the best option. No matter how much it made her itch to sit here with everyone staring at her.

She took a deep breath. "I think I finally put together what's happened." She looked at Ikora, at Praedyth and Shaxx. "It's more than you think."

"Start from the beginning," Ikora said soothingly.

In an earlier time, Azra would have leaned back and started cheekily regaling them the story of the birth of the Universe. Now, she hunched and rested her elbows on her knees. The beginning? "June fourth, twenty-nine sixty," she decided. 

[hattr]

The foreshadowing that Shiro was going to fight Sendak was crazy. They just had to make them both lose an arm and get a magic floating one instead

I am a firm Lion Change hater/blue paladin!Lance truther but also i am almost intrigued by canon Black Paladin!Lance if only because i firmly believe he would still end up being depressed, isolated, and ready to kill himself but without the dead gf ending and within 3 seasons instead of 8.

the funniest possible ending for the commander and druid AU is that Shiro ends up as the new Galra Emperor at the end of the series. They take their eyes off Shiro and Keith for five seconds, and the next thing everyone knows they're participating in the Kral Zera. again.
