I have a bone to pick with the Sheith fandom. Everywhere in this fandom I see Keith freaking out about Shiro, which I will admit is completely canon. But you know what else is canon?
Shiro’s bias for Keith.
I know that it’s seems subtle, but it’s not at the same time. I rewatched Voltron Season 1 and 2 before Season 3 because I noticed that I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to Shiro the first time around. A lot of his lines are pretty generic-leader-type, but during me rewatch, I noticed that his character cues weren’t. So, without further ado, here begins my long meta post about how Shiro is pining after Keith.
oh my god? i’m pretty sure this wasn’t meant to be a prompt but…
It turns out they all know Keith, or know of him, the same way they know of Shiro–he’s infamous.
But Pidge doesn’t figure that out until later, after they tear a trail across the desert on the back of a hoverbike that’s straining under their combined weight while she holds on to Shiro like her life depends on it. It does, because if she loses Shiro she loses her chance, she loses Matt and her Dad and everything she’s been searching for.
That’s the first clue. She’s not the only one that’s been searching.
The black haired boy driving them over cliffs like he’s born to it has one eye on Shiro the whole time, like he’s ready to pull up in a dead stop and grab him if Pidge’s grip slips an inch. She holds tight, and considers him. He drives like fighter pilot flies, and no one missed the Garrison med techs knocked out cold, or the look in his eyes when he shouldered Shiro’s weight like it was something precious–no one missed the explosions he set off.
Whoever he is, he’s in as deep as she is.

playing with a different coloring style. I got impatient near the end (=3=)

the reality where keiths mom took him instead of his dad. by the most accidental of meetings, he went from deathly bored cargo pilot to one of Prince Lotor’s legendary Generals….and the Blade of Marmora’s most valuable source of information.
of course, lotor knows. keith knows that lotor knows, and lotor knows that keith knows that he knows. he keeps keith around anyway. its a thing. keith interferes whenever it looks like a plot will hurt Lotor and his generals directly, so its fine.
(whose side is keith really on? lotor’s? the blade of marmora? …voltron? nobody knows, maybe not even keith himself- its hard to pick a side when all of them are trying to make things better in their own way… and all of them are beginning to feel a lot like family)
