me: do you ever think about lance and keith’s progression??? how they went from always fighting and not being able to talk to each other without an argument to something else completely?
therapist: ma’am-
me: how no matter where they went or what they did, they’d still end up in each other’s space because they’re soulmates. they’re drawn to each other. keith fell in love first because he’s been searching his whole life for someone to cherish him and love him and actually stay, and lance took a while to realise that he’s actually been in love since the garrison with the person he thought he could never be but realised he was just as good as
therapist: can i just-
me holding his mouth shut: and they’re polar opposites but they go so well together and make so much sense. red and blue. water and fire. one day lance is going to pull keith into his arms and kiss all over his face, and keith is going to wake up cuddled into the crook of lance’s neck and watch him snore gently and smile so so softly. they’re in love. they’re made for each other. they had no idea that all their fights and arguments were pulling them closer into each other’s orbit so they could melt into the other and find happiness
therapist: …….
therapist peeling their face off to reveal jeremy shada, crying and nodding:
also someone asked josh keaton if keith would interact with anyone in the team and he replied with “yes specifically lance”

hey guys just a clarification for this post because it’s still going around:
that ‘yes’ was a typo but it already made its rounds despite me editing the post and telling everyone to reblog the fixed version. josh initially said ‘maybe’ to the question and that it was specifically lance according to the original twitter post here
i don’t like spreading around misinfo and there was some confusion with this post so i wanted to clarify some things
okay, taking my shipper googles away or whatever, lance and keith’s dynamic is the most interesting and fun to watch in the entire show! why would they take it away? bitch i’m starving
watching these two immature boys bickering and competing against each other and pushing each other’s buttons and then working together and being a great team
I don’t know why I’m just noticing this now, but Keith and Lance both have serious rejection issues that are the main reason why they can’t love people properly or feel they can fall in love. Like I mentioned before, Lance has had his heart broken/been rejected so many times that when someone actually reciprocates feelings towards him, he pushes them away because he’s scared it may happen again
A good example of this as I also mentioned, is the bonding moment. It’s already been confirmed that Lance remembers the bonding moment but he purposely forgot because he wasn’t emotionally ready to go there yet
This could mean that he was scared to take the next step forward with Keith or even grow closer after this, because he was afraid that he’d just get his heart broken again. And he wasn’t strong enough to face that
As for Keith he’s mentioned before, that instead of accepting people into his life he pushes them away before they can reject him
And that sounds awfully similar to Lance, except his rejection issues started because of his mom abandoning him
I’ve noticed that Keith and Lance’s insecurities parallel each other’s a lot, like them being unsure of their places on the team because of who they are (which is emphasized in the ep “Red Paladin” that refers to the both of them and their insecurities, not a coincidence at all)
They’re the only two on the team who’s internal conflicts and insecurities are causing a set back in their growth and development. If Lance is too afraid to accept love from others because of fear of rejection, how can he truly love? If Keith is also afraid that him accepting people into his life will lead to rejection, how can he also properly love as well?
This is why they’re both having these arcs right now that are making them stronger and will help them to overcome these issues. As I mentioned before, Keith coming across his mom will bring him inner peace. His problems rooted from his mom, so if he can overcome them he will be stronger.
Jeremy has also mentioned that Lance being able to take the lead in s5 is helping him to become his own man apart from Keith. Lance has always felt inferior to Keith, so him not being emotionally ready to accept their bonding moment is also because of that other than fear of rejection. If Lance can stop trying to compare or one up himself to Keith, but become strong on his own instead of looking at things as a competition. He can actually be emotionally ready to face Keith as his own person and not as someone who feels inferior to him. Not to mention his on going insecurities about his value to the team will be fixed too. He also wouldn’t be so scared of rejection, because Keith was ready to accept him a long time ago (*cough* he has a crush on him *cough*)
Now it’s just a matter of them both getting on the same page
lance as sinbad. (the smug and handsome captain of the ship, infamous for being a thief, but has a really big heart nevertheless)
keith as marina. (sneaks aboard lance’s ship to make sure he retrieves the book of peace (?), his relationship with lance definitely doesn’t start out well, but he eventually ends up falling for him along the way. wink)
hunk as kale. (Thicc. lance’s right hand man and the occasional voice of reason. just.. a beautiful guy overall)
pidge as an intelligent version of rat. (hangs around the top of the ship most of the time to keep an eye out for potential risks/danger/obstacles)
