Spoiler alert: Season 4 rant
Ok I’m genuinely concerned about Keith.
It seems like basically no one is discussing what happened to him like I think Keith is suicidial, I mean why wouldn’t he be? Everything Keith’s gone through over the past couple seasons is showing how broken he’s become. he’s beginning to show signs of depression.
As a Keith Stan I’m actively worried about his mental health I mean this season mixed with last season have been borderline abusive to Keith and no one seems to care. Keith was forced into a position he didn’t even want and was basically told to move on because life moves on, I know that’s how things work in the real world sometimes but Keith had just lost his brother and in the span of what I’m going to say in the actual time for the paladins was possibly a month.
He’s shoved into shiro’s seat and forced to be a good leader which takes time to develop time he didn’t get, and yelled at when he does something wrong. He’s basically crying when he goes to Lance and tells him what happened. Even worse when “Shiro” comes back He’s given an even worse task trying to keep up his leadership role because Shiro can’t get into Black.
Keith’s suffering with the burden of trying to keep his team happy while still trying to do what’s right and trying to grow as a person outside of leader of Voltron.
Which explains his dilemma with now wanting to be apart of the blade of mammora. He wants to connect with these people (Galra) who might be able to help him learn about his past, but he also wants a way out. He’s probably starting to take some steps back because he’s becoming to close to his Voltron team and he doesn’t want to get rejected.
Keith’s been forced into this role he really hates and he believes Shiro should be the leader again, at the same time Keith seems to be suffering from being torn between these two teams. One team teaching him that a team works as one while the other team is willing to sacrifice a member in the blink of an eye if it means they’re closer to their goal.
His battles are only getting worse because he’s starting to become severely attached to his teammates from Voltron while they’re getting mad at him because they believe he’s flaking out on them and he’s messing up what good they have going. Which makes it all the more heartbreaking when Shiro is able to pilot Black again.
Keith can now hang with the blade full time and focus on missions but the team lets him go so easily like they were just glad to have Shiro back, it most likely hurt Keith because they didn’t even put up a fight they just said well we’ll miss you bye.
This season basically had zero Keith and was targeted more at Pidge which was nice but at the same time also gave Keith way too little time on screen. The poor boy is beginning to believe he’s no longer needed think about it he’s gone from being on a team where the motto was basically no team member left behind to being shoved into a team that believes you should die like a man for mother galra.
Like seriously all these galran soldiers over here dying right in front of Keith he probably began to believe his times run high and dry he thought he was doing a good thing he believes nothing will change if he died like the cause is to fight with death always being your last option.
I’ve heard so many people complaining about Klance and saying Keith’s selfish for leaving, and I just can’t understand how everyone can be so goddamn close minded. I personally have nothing against this fandom and I love Klance but way too many people are focused on that and lance’s rope dance to realize the issues here.
Wake up and smell the roses like I’m a fan of Klance too but I wouldn’t sacrifice Keith’s mental stability for my ship and keith had every reason to leave Voltron they basically shoved him out the door right now what Keith really needs is someone to listen and a shoulder to cry on, he needs help and a permanent family. Not a boyfriend.
I love this so much😍😍 its so true
