Oh wow, I love this song!
Hey klancers another reach for you: any of y’all think it was really weird how Red didn’t respond to Lance after his scene with Allura???

Allura really could’ve gone up to Lance and said this at any point after their arrival to Earth; they could’ve put this scene pretty much ANYWHERE and it wouldn’t have diminished it. But they didn’t. They put it right before the scene where all the paladins call out to their lions

No one else had trouble calling their lions. Every other lion answered immediately to their paladin, and we know it’s not because Lance and Red don’t have enough bond–Red came to save Lance earlier in the season and in the series (forgive me for not remembering specifics on that part it’s still a little fuzzy for me lol)
But Lance is reaching out

And Red is silent

And only swoops in at the last second, when Lance is about to die

Y’all remember why Red responded to Lance at the start???

Conclusion? Red ships klance
But seriously–I think the real reason is Red wants a paladin who is true to himself, and in that moment Lance was falling back on who he used to be, not who he’d become (any thoughts???)
when keith was leaving the team to save axca, it made lance so weirdly sad and uncomfortable. because keith was leaving him again.
the lack of comfort lance has regarding keith and axca gives me a certain type of feeling




i’m mad too at the forced a//llurance interaction. but honestly??? we’re talking about the same people who wrote LOK. both korra and asami showed recripocated romantic feelings for a guy, but ended up with each other. just because keith and lance have both shown interest in other people doesn’t mean any feelings for each other are wiped out.
i think season 8 will be an opportunity for lance to tell allura he wants to be someone’s first choice. jeremy even confirmed that lance would be someone’s first choice romantically. that does not describe a//llurance in the slightest.
it was already confirmed that allura will not have romantic endgame. it was confirmed the endgame romance would be a slowburn. a/l and k/a doesn’t describe that.
along with the “first choice” rhetoric, we got a huge metaphor for that in the game show episode.

keith and lance chose each other.

!!!
Someone needs to show these two how to unwind
I love their expressions in this …. so in character…
Lance’s subconscious described Keith as “The Future” with literally no insult or snark attached and you can pry that knowledge from my cold dead hands.
Look. Idc if you ship them or not but Lance has grown to admire and respect Keith so, so much and his answer was so genuine and sincere and that’s just facts.
