look at them standing there talking shit about Keith probably
seriously my love for characters has never dropped so fast as when I saw these faces and heard the words they speak to Keith
HE’S DOING WHAT HE’S DOING FOR YOU AND FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNIVERSE!
HE WANTS YOU TO STOP BEING AFRAID AND TAKE BACK THE BLACK LION BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN YOU AND KNOWS YOU’RE THE BEST PERSON TO LEAD VOLTRON AND BECAUSE HE KNOWS HOW MUCH BEING IT’S PILOT MEANS TO YOU, SHIRO! AND YOU REFUSE TO JUST LISTEN TO HIM AND GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY SO HE HAS TO LEAVE FOR YOU TO FINALLY GET YOUR ASS IN THAT LION
YOU’RE MAD AT HIM FOR NOT BEING THERE WHEN YOU NEEDED HIM, ALLURA. BUT WHERE WERE ALL OF YOU WHEN HE NEARLY DIED AND REGRIS ACTUALLY DIED JUST AWHILE AGO??
OH THAT’S RIGHT, MAKING ANGRY FACES AT HIM FOR NOT MAKING IT TO YOUR PARADE IN TIME.
YOU’RE LUCKY HE MADE IT BACK ALIVE FROM THAT MISSION. WERE YOU THERE FOR HIM TO HELP HIM NOT DIE IN SPACE? DID HE EVER LOOK AT YOU LIKE THAT FOR DOING YOUR PARADE THING WHILE HE WAS TRYING TO SURVIVE? NO, HE UNDERSTOOD YOU HAD YOUR OWN IMPORTANT MISSION AT THE TIME
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK HE’S DOING THERE WITH THE BLADES? GETTING DRUNK AND PLAYING CARDS ALL DAY?
HE’S TRYING TO MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SAFE FROM THE GALRA EMPIRE JUST LIKE YOU.
THE BLADES ARE LITERALLY DYING TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO STOP LOTOR, YOU SAY YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IS WHAT THEY DO, SO SHOW SOME RESPECT FOR THAT! IT’S IN NO WAY LESS THAN WHAT YOU ARE DOING!
YOU HAVE NO RIGHT GIVING HIM THOSE LOOKS.
SPECIALLY SINCE YOU FORCED HIM TO LEAD, THEN DIDN’T RESPECT THAT LEADERSHIP AND CONTINUED GOING WITH WHAT SHIRO WANTS YOU TO DO, AND IF YOU JUST LISTENED TO KEITH AND TRUSTED HIM AND SHIRO GOT HIS ASS IN THE BLACK LION LIKE KEITH ASKED HIM TO WHEN HE UNDERSTOOD HIS OWN LEADERSHIP IS NOT WHAT YOU ALL WANT, THIS WOULD NEVER HAPPEN.
HE STEPPED DOWN AND WENT TO DO SOMETHING WHERE HE CAN BE MORE OF HELP, BECAUSE HE DOESN’T WANT TO TAKE YOUR POSITIONS IN RED OR BLACK OR GET ALLURA OUT OF BLUE, BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN YOU AND KNOWS HOW MUCH PILOTING THOSE LIONS MEANS TO YOU.
you all failed me team voltron, all of you
the hug doesn’t help
Keith deserves better.

im still a little salty at this or maybe more specifically the execution of this trope that being the 'its fine guys ill be there when u need me!!' narrator voice: it was not all fine and then they learned their lesson because dreamworks clearly set up the juxtaposition of the down to the wire barely surviving harshness of the blade missions and the lighthearted fakeness of the coalition performances like you can SEE the performances become more spectacle and less accurate as they go on and then cut to keith NEARLY DYING IN SPACE and its just somewhat frustrating that the end conclusion of this episode was not 'we kept pressuring you to do our shows with us but we didnt realize just how vital and taxing the missions you were doing were' it was 'you dont care about the team and the IMPORTANT work of voltron because you were off jeopardizing it' and honestly i think my MAIN point of contention with this plot point is that so far in the series no keiths hard work HASNT paid off when it comes to tracking lotor and the quintessence when personally i would have thought it REALLY FUCKING STRATEGICALLY SOUND to try and understand and lock down the new threat (but of course allura and shiro are right) (because sometimes the plot bends that way) (last part might be bias dont mind me)
