I’ve expressed my frustration before with fanon Lance and how I feel like that’s not really canon, but, after looking over a lot of the popular trends:

• Leader and good Black Paladin candidate
  
• Struggles asking for help, tends to hide issues behind a confident, charismatic facade especially because he doesn’t want to worry the team
• A facade that is not often seen through, leaving said issues sometimes chronically unaddressed
• Highly talented in multiple fields
• Handsome
• Experiences profound trauma and loss, to the point of physical mutilation/loss of body parts
• Conflicts with the team at times
• Sensitive, prone to overthinking
• Profound sense of lack of worthiness that bars him from embracing things he’s rightfully connected to (like the Black Lion)

I think that I owe people an apology, because all of that actually is supported by and present in canon.

See? There he is.
