I kept contemplating if I should post it and at this point I’m like, “fuck it”.
Catch me in Katt (Math??) hell ny’all.
For context: This can be taken either A. Matt knew Keith from the Garrison days and had a massive thing for him, or B. They’ve actually never met and after Keith’s suicide mission he finally got to see his pretty face up close.
I prefer the latter, but whatever tickles your peach.
Queerbaiting is when two same-sex characters act like they’re in a romantic relationship, get really close to kissing or otherwise put into intimate positions, etc on screen without actually doing anything that would confirm them to be in a relationship. Queerbaiting is not when the creators shoot down a ship you like, between two characters who have neither expressed any romantic interest in one another nor been put into fanservice-y positions with each other in canon. You searched for chemistry that wasn’t there, read too far into every line they said to one another, intentionally misinterpreted their anger and insults toward one another as “romantic”, used fucking colors in the backgrounds to say that the showrunners were going to make this relationship canon. That’s all you.
The showrunners haven’t queerbaited anyone. Go back to watching shojo anime if you want to see queerbaiting.
You know what? I’m still so mad Regris exists. Because as soon as I saw him I was like Yes!! Another galra with a tail, finally!! Neat!! And he was like their team hacker? And he had a cool voice?
And Keith cared enough about him to go running back in to save him and literally carry him out in a sudden burst of strength like??
Keith says they haven’t seen Lotor in months, so he must’ve been running these missions with Kolivan and Regris for a pretty long time?? They seemed like they’ve been working as a team for a good while now–long enough for Keith to be attached, certainly?
And then they just!! Fucking killed him!! Like, thanks!! That’s what I get for liking a BOM member with a name that wasn’t Keith or Kolivan, I should have known better!! It’s literally like Antok all over again my poor heart can’t take this. I wish we could’ve got to see him at least training with Keith more…
reblogging to share the resource but I do want to point out that the code amounts to “pinterest no pinning”. like dora the explorer’s swiper the fox… but if swiper were a middle-aged stay-at-home-mom with a smartphone. technology is truly amazing
