Keith & Shiro are pretty tactile with each other, but there’s still a level of formality to their interactions that just screams “not familial” to me. Like, there’s too much gentleness to their touches. Like they’re both too reserved. Like there is too much respect.
If they mean to portray their relationship as strictly brotherly, more teasing would be welcomed. More of Keith speaking up his mind, recalls of old times, maybe a light shoulder punch, bro-fist, or ruffling hair. Definitively more of THIS:
But they’re not. Really. Like. That.
At this point, Shiro is “like a brother” to Keith–a person with NO siblings, because that’s the closest he can admit to feeling love toward someone else.
I think it’s okay to interpret it as him being unfamiliar with the differences, having nothing to compare it against to know himself if that’s all there is to it.
But it’s also true that you can indeed have intense platonic feelings toward someone, & love someone deeply without the romantic attraction. (I mean, Kamina & Simon come to mind because Simon was intense to the point of spending hours carving figures of Kamina. Okk. That’s some devotion)
In the end, however you chose to interpret Keith and Shiro, familial/platonic or NOT, it’s undeniable that what they have for each other is Love.
And it could be any kind of love. Familial? Friendship? Possibly romance? Yeah, any of those is fine.
It is Love.
And it’s just so tender…
And good…
Again, it doesn’t have to be romantic, but they are not really brotherly, they just don’t seem comfortable enough for that. But they ARE close friends, on a level that’s pretty unique & beautiful?
I’d say, even if sheith was never in the plans to be endgame, I’m still absolutely LOVING what they’re doing with their relationship.
Their character arcs definitively intertwined. They’ve both influenced & affected each other deeply & will continue to do so.
WHATEVER it is to come about from their relationship, it will absolutely have an effect in the story of Voltron itself.
& I’m feeling super excited & happy about this.

People will see two characters who are entirely devoted to each other and whose lives are intertwined in cosmic ways, and be like "what if they were just buddies? 😊" But then one second later go ape shit about a more popular ship with less than half the chemistry, but a dynamic that is considered more appropriate for the surface level, overused, interchangeable fandom tropes that have replaced any sort of genuine character interpretation

Anonymous asked:
where did this “it’s killing me when you’re away” quote came from?
It comes from the fact that when a lot of people look at some of Keith’s notes in the shack it seems like the last part of the scribbling says, “and it’s killing me when you’re away” which lines up perfectly with how crushing and unbearable losing Shiro has always been for Keith and honestly makes complete sense in canon given Keith’s feelings–and even admission of love for him
Looking at stuff like this makes me honestly think that they were going to have Keith and Shiro be an possible item, but the discourse made them change their minds.

@sockdooe, Yep, that's the one. No offense to the author, but it's really irritating to see a fic tagged with relationships that, as of two-hundred thousand words in, still haven't been so much as hinted at.
Would this author appreciate it if someone tagged a two-hundred thousand-plus-word Shiro/Keith or Lance/Hunk fic Keith/Lance? I sincerely doubt it.
Be courteous to your fellow fans and tag things properly, please. I don't think that's too much to ask.
My biggest issue with "Curtis" is that it's glaringly obvious that Shiro was married off to him at the absolute last minute in an attempt on the part of the showrunners to win online brownie points for being the first to depict a gay wedding in a show aimed at children. And, to try to cover their asses after being slammed with accusations of Burying Their Gays for killing Adam.
They used Shiro, who they planned to permanently kill after confirming that he's gay, as nothing more than a tool for their own personal benefit. And, it deservedly backfired on them spectacularly.
I still love Shiro/Keith, but, at my heart, I've found that I'm a multishipper for the both of them. Especially Shiro. Had the writers put in the effort, they could have made me care about, or, at the very least, tolerate his afterthought of a marriage. Shiro deserves to be happy. He deserves love. Even if I hate that it comes with the implication that he left his dream of exploring space and his newfound sense of purpose in being part of the Coalition and defending the universe behind to stay on Earth and become a house-husband.
Instead, "Curtis" is such a non-entity, his name is never once spoken onscreen. He and Shiro never have a conversation outside of shouting impersonal orders at one another in the heat of battle. And, he isn't even drawn consistently from one frame to the next.
