the concept of someone….dumping shiro…or even putting down an ultimatum about leaving shiro…..and not waiting forever for this handsome beautiful kind man…..absolutely barbaric
SORRY I DON’T HAVE DRAWINGS TO CELEBRATE GAY SHIRO SPECIFICALLY BUT MY BEEFY BOY IS DISABLED POC AND NON-STRAIGHT I LOVE JUSTICE THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK
me, upon seeing my snow fairy shower gel is depleted: Unfortunate. time to make another trip to the Smell Good Centre and spend Entirely Too Much Money
i have spent the entirety of my media-consuming life shipping things that i just Knew would never be canon, be it because it was a gay couple and the author Dont Like That Stuff Round Here, or because it was so out of a common sense and logic it was ridiculous
then i start to watch voltron and sure, i have those out-there what-if ships, but i also saw sheith and thought, that right there is a beautiful relationship and even if its not gonna happen, even if its not viable, in canon it still reads as romantic to me and thats more than ive ever gotten
then the anti shit happened. then the age reveals happened. all along the crew was making adorable art and supporting the ship (which is way more than other creators ive interacted with have given), then the ‘i love you’ and now this.
shiros canonically a guy who loves guys!! its amazing even outside of a shipping lens- he is wondrous for everyone even a little bit like him, seeing him on screen and thinking hes so good and normal and im good and normal too!!
i wont say that antis and their adversity made it better, because they didnt, but that feeling of being vindicated- no, of being supported every step of the way, of being reaffirmed that, no, youre not seeing things, no, youre not ridiculous, yes, two men can be so close and supportive and open with each other and maybe they can be romantic too, thats not an impossibility
its the first time ive ever felt something like that before
people who receive diagnosis of disabilities or terminal illnesses are often abandoned by their partner…. u aren’t perfect anymore, ur inconvenient, ur a downer, u aren’t a ‘long term goal’ anymore… i am so appreciative of dw for showing this situation in an explicitly critical light without forcing the burden of understanding on to the sick person to ‘forgive’…. shiro deserves better and he went on to achieve his dreams!!!!!!! there’s life after a diagnosis and if that one asshole doesnt think you are worth it there is someone out there who does!!!!!!!!!!

Keith almost died and Matt helped him deal with that, but now the rest of the team needs to know. Inspired by Melancholia.
It was a couple of days after Matt had gone to see him before Keith worked up the nerve to come to the castle. Everyone else was busy working (Coran) or training (the Paladins), so Matt was the only one waiting for him in the hanger when he finally docked and climbed out of his ship.
He looked like a hot mess, dark shadows under his brilliant slate-blue eyes and fingers twitching restlessly at his sides. His hair was the same as always, long and messy and dark, and Matt fought with the urge to run his hands through it.
“Hey,” Matt said, smiling. “Everyone should be heading up for dinner any minute now. You hungry?”
Keith shrugged. “Not really.” But despite the unenthusiastic reply, he followed along dutifully when Matt turned to head out into the hall.
Matt snuck glances at him all the way up to the kitchen, taking in his white-knuckled grip on his folded arms and the way he kept his head ducked - just a little - to hide his eyes behind his hair. He was still so painfully, obviously, twisted up in knots over what he was going to tell the others, so bothered, still, by what their reactions would be to choice he’d made. Matt wanted to throw his arms around Keith’s shoulders and give him one of the Holt family’s patented, all-encompassing bear hugs, but he was so tense and closed off it didn’t seem like the best time.
Dinner on the castleship was always chaotic and noisy, maybe it would distract Keith enough to give him a chance to calm down.
so sad that some people are literally blind to Lance’s character development and accuse his creators of hating him when they’ve actually given us a male character who unlearns how society tells men to treat women, handles sadness maturely, cries frequently, and learns to swallow his ego and support his friends
I hate hearing stories about how someone cheated but the other person forgave them and now they’re even more in love and lived happily ever after, it’s propaganda and I don’t care
