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
the audio isn’t super clear but here’s my attempt at the transcript y’all
kimberly: they’re asleep for a really long time
jeremy: I don’t-
kimberly: no! [inaudible]
josh: you were
kimberly: [inaudible]
josh: coran was
kimberly: before, before that. I mean after that.
josh: I don’t know, I don’t think so.
kimberly: there was!-
jeremy: later, I think that’s later, I don’t think that’s actually aired yet.
[crowd erupts]
jeremy: [inaudible]
kimberly: oh no-
jeremy: I know what you’re talking about
kimberly: I don’t know what I’m talking about
josh: see, I was trying to like, get her out of it and then jeremy/lance came along and just [gestures that he lowkey spoiled stuff]
jeremy: um, I didn’t even say anything though-
kimberly: something happens with [inaudible]
jeremy: yeah, it’s spacey stuff. It’s hard though because I don’t know if they, like, do they actually count in the show for them being in space and [inaudible]
kimberly: it doesn’t translate like-
oof don’t come at me for not being able to transcript the inaudible parts pls thank
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)
