It’s normal to see fluctuations in a show. The second season rating higher than the first normally happens, though it’s impressive how close they and season 3 are. Going into the 80s isn’t shocking, though going from 88 to 74 is a pretty big drop.

But like…

jesus

she was just gonna ask if keith was coming to dinner

In case this hasn’t been done yet. I tried bringing out the bg audio of Lance’s and Veronica’s conversation while Allura and Lance’s mum chat. Hope it’s somewhat more audible than the original  Enjoy our bi disaster :’)

Edit: I forgot to add the transcript 

Veronica: Maybe you can put in a good word for me with that long hair friend of yours

Lance: What?! Keith?! No no no no no  hahaha NO WAY NO. Never. Not in a MILLION decaphebs okay? All that guy likes are knives and space wolves! So- Wh-who even likes those things?! AND he’s got a mullet- mullets are terrible cOME ON It’s no just no NO

Veronica: I’m just kidding P.S. Thank you to everyone reblogging and adding this bless u ♥

I WANT TO CRY SO FUCKING HARD RIGHT NOW

I heard that Hunk cleans Keith’s suit?? ;O;

Lotor: grew up without knowing his mother, was/still is treated like being less than others for his mixed race, called a mistake by his own father, studied his Altean ancestry on his own and in secret because he wanted to have a connection to his mother, lost everything he’s ever enjoyed or showed interest in because his father would never let him be happy, felt constantly spied on/never had any privacy even after being exiled, killed his own abusive father and was still shown to be mildly upset because survivors of abuse are normally guilt ridden, has literally lived his entire life in a fight or flight response due to the actual CENTURIES of abuse he suffered at the hands of his father and a majority of his own race, still struggles with his identity because he was so groomed to be one thing and never another

Some of y’all demons on this site: OMg what a snake???? No one can trust him! Lol I hope Lotor DIES he’s so fucking shady!!

May I offer you a Klance meta in these trying times? (SPOILERS for S8)

right, so, i know we’re all hurting right now, and everything is a mess, but i thought i would do my best to add some positivity in the form of a brief(ish) analysis of pining keith and lance’s emotional needs this season.

now we all appreciate how emotionally supportive and caring keith was for lance this season, i think we can say that much. but i’d like to draw a little attention to the way keith angles the conversations they have, and why.

both times they start off talking about lance’s worries regarding allura. during the sunset scene (side note: i can’t believe there really is a klance moment we can refer to as THE SUNSET SCENE but anyway), keith picks this up and says something encouraging about her to lance.

but this doesn’t really work. it doesn’t successfully cheer him up.  then, as the conversation continues, he subtly redirects the conversation to be about lance and HIMSELF. about THEIR relationship, not lance’s relationship with allura.

and THAT is what it takes to alleviate lance’s insecurities and help him to believe in himself. to believe that everything is going to be okay.

flash forward to later in the season when lance is once again worried about allura, and keith is once again there to support and uplift him.  he starts off encouraging lance about allura, trying to talk about her as a means of supporting lance emotionally:

and again, it doesn’t seem to work. lance is still worried, still scared and frustrated.

and then keith yet again subtly steers the conversation away from allura, and makes it (AGAIN) about him and lance.

and THAT is what it takes to bring lance back up again.

THAT is what it takes to bring him back from the brink of losing faith. to restore his conviction.

Lance may be Keith’s stability, but Keith is Lance’s hope.

in hindsight, everything about steven yeun’s interview is ten times as funny

he literally had no idea because the people making the show were such a mess they hadn’t decided yet

I AM CACKLING THE POOR MAN HAD NO CLUE

The idea of Keith and Acxa trying to help each other flirt with Lance and Veronica but failing terribly because they’re disaster gays is the funniest thing

Keith: Okay, just walk over and tell her she looks nice today

Acxa: Nice, got it

Acxa: *walks over*

Veronica: Hey Acxa!

Acxa: Did you know that I was stuck for almost six months inside the stomach cavity of a massive weblum because my ship was compromised by it’s antibodies-

Keith: Jesus fucking Christ

Okay so this was basically canon

kaxca my gay brotp

THIS IS SO FUCKING CUTE AND I LOVE IT WHEN YOU GUYS DO THIS ITS LITERALLY THE ONLY REASON I HAVEN’T DEACTIVATED MY AO3

okay wow so

klance was supposed to be endgame up until after s3

and long story short the only reason it wasn’t was because lm and jds were like ah fuck that no

and that’s why there were so many romantically coded klance scenes even tho they werent endgame. that’s why they watched a fucking sunset together in season 8. the rest of the crew KNEW what the fuck was up.

and i dont wanna hear any fucking bullshit from klance haters about klancers “making this up” because we’re “too pathetic to let go of klance.” you know why?

because the user over on twitter who’s spilling all this tea is the same user who knew pre-season 7 that Adam was going to die and warned us all about it, and also the same user who was involved in the s8 leaks which turned out to be real.

this person has NEVER been wrong about behind the scenes shit theyve spilled about the show in the past. they’ve always been right

so basically klance was originally supposed to be endgame and then they changed gears after s3, but some of the artists and writers continued to create romantic coded klance scenes because they KNEW that was supposed to be where it was going originally.

no wonder tim hedrick wrote all the goddamn klance episodes then said “fuck this shit i quit” and left after writing the fued. everything after s3 was such a confusing trainwreck because they couldnt decide where they wanted to take it. thats why we have allurance and klance romantic scenes both after s3. I woulda got my ass out of there too. i stan exactly one (1) vld writer and his name is tim.

so basically klancers we were correct all along klance is in fact canon king

can someone link me to this thread?

Lauren Montgomery 2018:

klancers: have been making long posts explaining exactly what irked them this season, talking about how allurance could’ve worked if it had been written better, rightfully angry over lance’s pathetic epilogue, rightfully angry over the fact that lance was never properly developed, able to acknowledge moments when they actually enjoyed the show, wishing allura was alive, analyzing the moral message we/children are supposed to derive from this show, etc.

everyone else in the fandom: klancers stop whining about your ship not being canon!!! it was never going to happen anyways!!!!

tim hendricks: hey klance would be really cute and reasonable, super healthy and would make a lot of sense. it would also make the fans really happy

the rest of the crew: hmmm… nah, ALLURANCE AND ALLURA DEATH AND-

tim: fuck this, i quit

You know what pisses me off? People telling us to shut up because we had LGBT rep saying “shiro kissed a man what more do you want?” HUH? Stories? Real interactions? Soft moments? You know like what every straight people get in every piece of media ever? Basic interactions….talking…..a back story lmao? It really felt like “here you got 2 men kissing be happy with that and stfu” just to be done with it tbh
