arahir:

like… whatever his feelings for shiro are in canon, they love each other. that’s undeniable. and i think allura definitely picked up on that:

it’s a peculiar and specific way to frame that scene. and then we get this line in season 3:

obviously she’s talking about losing her family first and foremost, but it does seem like there’s a little bit of double meaning there. out of all of them, i think she has the best idea how much shiro means to keith. (just in general, allura seems to be closer to keith maturity wise than the other paladins.) that scene also shows how much lance and pidge idolize shiro, and it think that’s why their message doesn’t really get through to keith. he doesn’t idolize shiro–he loves him. the other paladins don’t really seem to fully understand that yet.
