what did you think about shiro this season? (assuming that this is the real one and not a clone)
assuming it’s the real shiro, i’d say uhhhhh he needs to have several conversations and chill the fuck out lmao. in season one shiro did nothing but support the kids and project calm and reassurance, and in season 4 he actively ignore’s keith begging him to be the leader instead – for all that i personally think keith would be a fine leader, especially with the support of his teammates, i think keith admitting that he’s not comfortable or ready for that kind of pressure is really mature of him? it’s not like this is a group project in school, where experience is good and necessary, it’s leading a war effort, and he’s a teenager who’s made it clear from the start that he was reluctant to lead. but shiro just tells him, ‘if you don’t do this you’re letting everyone down, including me, and i’m not asking you, i’m telling you.’ it’s such a strange paradox to order someone around while telling them to be the leader. do you trust his choices and opinions or don’t you?
besides that, shiro ignoring lance telling them to get off of the planet in the finale, only to realize immediately that lance had made the right call, was super fucking annoying, because anyone should have realized that sticking around was dumb. he just shuts lance down without even letting the others make a call either – a direct contrast to him in the first episode where he tells everyone that they’re a team now, and they all needed to decide whether or not to jump into the wormhole. it feels like since he got kidnapped again, shiro’s been jumping into the commanding part of leading more than the cooperative part.
to be honest i can’t really remember what else they do in the season – i know there was emphasis put on shiro the hero in the drug episode, which strikes me as interesting, bc that’s. all shiro gets to be in this show. he spouts platitudes and during the difficult parts of battle shouts for everyone to try really hard without really saying…what that means. in contrast, when they’re panicking about the bomb and being trapped, lance tells allura ‘you should use your magic, i know you don’t know a lot about it but you’ve done it before, and i know you can because blue chose you for a reason and you’re the heart of this team.’ it was such a fantastic moment of what leadership should be like in the show.
and i don’t mean to rag on shiro – shiro was a good leader the first two seasons, even with his ‘hero’ persona and sort of lame battle encouragements. he listened to his team and gave them individual support (well. pidge and keith, at least.) but i can’t seem to get past him simultaneously “ordering” keith to do something he’s unhappy doing when shiro is meant to be the person keith is closest with. dismissing him out of hand, guilt-tripping him over theater shows – it rubbed me the wrong way. and then we discover that shiro CAN fly the black lion? all he had to do was listen to keith telling him he should try again? mmmk. i’m basically clinging to shiro is a clone bc otherwise shiro’s undergone a massive personality shift and clearly needs to talk some shit out.

“It looks good on you,” Lance says, his elbow propped up against Red’s control panel, his chin held in his palm; looking at Keith in his video feed. “The hood, I mean, it makes you look all mysterious.”
“Hm,” Keith says, looking up from sharpening his blade; he blinks at him, then what Lance had said registers and his cheeks turn a soft pink. He reaches up and touches his hood, “Oh, thanks, Lance.” He hadn’t really thought about whether or not it looked good, he’d been more interested in the durability and practicality of his suit, and how/if the hood would help keep him disguised if he need it.
“The purple really brings out your eyes,” Lance says, settling into this, complimenting Keith with a hint of glee; his lips widening into an easy, possibly flirty grin. “It makes them pop.”
“Pop?” Keith repeats, raising an eyebrow. He sheaths his blade then, leaning closer to the screen to look at his own eyes and Lance looks at them too, they are really, really pretty eyes.
“Yup,” Lance says, not explaining further, “Pop.”
“Well, you look really good in your undersuit,” Keith says easily, without a hint of embarrassment at his incredibly embarrassing words. “It makes your shoulders look really broad.”
“W-what?” Lance stutters, his cheeks flushing; he can dish it out with ease, but can’t handle it when he gets it back in return. “Stop messing around, Keith!”
“I’m not,” Keith says back, indignant; confused by Lance’s refusal to accept his genuine compliment. “It looks good on you.”
