If you love him, respect his culture (3/?): real names for lance (sh//aladins don’t interact)
“a performer will often take a stage name because their real name is considered unattractive, dull, or unintentionally amusing, is difficult to pronounce or spell, has been used by another notable individual, or projects an undesired image. In the past, a stage name was often used when a performer’s real name was considered to denote a specific ethnicity that faced potential discrimination.“

episode 3. i don’t really know what to say about this except that lance has previously talked about movies in the show, and keith definitely was paying attention. not only that, just look at keith’s face. he looks concerned.
lance looks badass ngl.
when pidge is put in danger, both lance and keith are singled out as the ones who are most pissed about it. and honestly, same. they do have a soft spot for the small one.
really cute scene here. this parallels the beginning of the show - lance and keith carrying shiro away. also - something interesting - it may be a reach, but coran referring to lance as “princess allura,” reminds me of when allura was named as “keith,” during his time away.
okay, okay - this.
this scene is really important. not only is keith singling lance out as one of his closest friends, whom he trusts, but he’s also giving lance his time to lead. the words - “lead the way, keep the team together,” that’s meant for a lot more than for one scene. lance’s relationships with many of the team, he’s been trying to keep everyone together. he’s the glue, the water. and it’s taken a lot more literally in later episodes.
they’re both holding the team together, not only emotionally - but physically. as co-leaders, they keep it balanced.
but during this scene, what most stood out was how they were positioned. lance’s slight ¾ profile view, and keith opposite. they’re equal in the way they’re standing. lance didn’t nod at keith affirming him to go save acxa, he looked worried - distraught.
often - implied romantic scenes in movies, the character who means the most to another is the one in the focused frame, closest to the frame, eyes on the other character. the group is behind lance, not even a part of their conversation. this scene was meant for keith and lance, and them alone.
it also slightly reminded me of this scene with lotor and allura:
also, i didn’t really want to get into other ships, since this is my “klance interaction post series,” but people have been saying keith and lance have no chance because of acxa. keith doesn’t blush - doesn’t even smile. he gets frustrated and says “can’t we just fight?” sorry, that doesn’t sound like a romantic relationship, especially with a guy who’s shown to have no interest in women since the start of the show. he wouldn’t begin a relationship with a minor character with a limited amount of screentime.
