*when the black lion doesn’t respond to “shiro”*
“shiro”:

Keith and Lance are falling in love and that’s all I have to say on the matter
IS THIS THAT PHINEAS AND FERB SONG
IM FUCKING WHEEZING I HATE THIS SITE
So, when Team Voltron is talking about who will pilot the black lion Coran brings up how Keith has piloted the black lion before and Lance says:

And then goes on to say:

But then when Keith retorts and it slips out that Shiro wanted him to pilot the black lion; Lance’s reaction is this:

He is just utterly crushed because he wanted to lead Voltron and show himself. But he quickly re groups himself and goes with:


Once they decide to all go into the black lion we see them all try to summon it’s ablties and they are all a bit humeroues, but then we have Lance’s:


You can tell he really wants this and he is very concentrated (so concentrated that I think time gets away from him: )

When, Lance doesn’t activate the Black Lion; he gets upset:

Then, when he sees that the lion picked Keith to be its pilot:


He’s pretty devastated because he wanted it so bad and he feels like he’s missed his chance to show himself to the team (and the universe). But then, Keith says he won’t be the black paladin:


Lance is shocked:

While he said all that stuff about not wanting to be lead by Keith he didn’t think that Keith wouldn’t actually accept the leadership role. Even though Lance is hurting right now he knows Keith needs support right now too, so he gives him that:





This is such a grown up move for Lance to make, and it shows so much how he’s grown up; it gives us even more insight into what an even more beautiful character lance is growing to be.
OK BUT SERIOUSLY THOUGH, I AM SO TIRED OF THE GALRA AND ALL THE SHIT THAT THEY DO TO SHIRO
FIRST THEY KIDNAPPED HIM AND HELD HIM CAPTIVE FOR A YEAR IN THE WORST POSSIBLE CONDITIONS

THEN THEY TAKE AWAY HIS DAMN ARM BY FORCE

AND GAVE HIM SERIOUS PTSD THAT WILL DEFINITELY HAUNT HIM FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

NOW THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO REPLACE HIM WITH SOME UGLY BUZZ LIGHT YEAR LOOKING ASS CLONE, FOR WHAT?

IF YOU DON’T BRING HIS ASS BACK AND LET HIM BE WITH HIS FAMILY, HIS ONLY SAFETY AND HAPPINESS, I SWEAR TO GOD-

i fixed it
Be blessed.
Why. Why was this not his hair.
He should’ve just kept it long and done this
So in the season 3 trailer, we see a close up on Keith’s eyes. And my klance thirsty head has made a klangsty speculation.


So clearly he has seen something happen. It is hard to tell if it is just pure rage or fear. By the looks of it is fear, (the wrinkles around his eyes). Also note that there is red light, which could indicate he is inside the red lion.
After this scene, we see both the yellow and blue lions spinning out of control, for the sake of this “speculation” we are going to say they were hit by something that caused them to get knocked back.



As we can see, the yellow lion is crashing into the red lion, which could easily slow down the yellow lion as it is moving.
But the blue lion doesn’t stop.
Looking at the blue lion’s movements, it is very similar to when we see it crash, but I’ll get to that in one tick.
In a previous shot, we see a wormhole, and what appears to be a ship going through it.

Coran looks shocked, but it looks like he knows what’s happening. Kind of like an “Oh my god. Did that actually just happen?” posture.
Right after this, we see the blue lion crashing in some sort of debris field or foggy planet? Either way, the blue lion is crashing.




Now, taking an observation to how the lion is crashing, it looks very similar to how it was rotating when we see it by the yellow and blue lion. I think all of these scenes are connected.
Something hits both the yellow and blue lion, assuming Lance is the one in the blue lion (This is going with Jeremy’s comment that Lance supposedly “dies”).
If Lance is in blue, Keith is in red. Which can be supported by the red lights, all though many other things can cause that lighting.
Keith is angry at whatever they are fighting, but his eyes shrink when he sees both Lance and Hunk get hit, and Lance flying towards the enemy ships wormhole.
Coran saw what happened and was shocked.
The blue lion goes through the wormhole and crashes. I am pretty sure that is Jeremy Shada’s comment on Lance dying was hinting at the fact that the team thought Lance might be dead because the Lion is offline and they might not be able to find its coordinates??? Whatever the reason, they think he may be dead.
I don’t know… Just a speculation at this point lmao. Probably not what happened but I can dream of the angst.
