Keith Fell First And I Can Prove It.

Keith fell first and I can prove it.

Lance obviously deals with insecurity and his place on the team, especially being the middle child in a big family. He always had to fight for attention, and he seeks positive reinforcement from people. So when Keith starts depending on him to co-lead Voltron, Lance feels *a certain way* about it. And Keith is like easily impressed with Lance and his ability to strategize and calm a situation, and likes to tell Lance these things.

But on the other side of that; Keith, who has been bounced around from foster home to foster home and is used to people not really having time to deal with him, deals with his insecurities by isolating himself. Like with Shiro its better, but there is still an assigned role there that Keith is aware of.

Enter Lance who refuses to leave Keith alone, no matter how much Keith walks away from him. Yeah he makes fun of his mullet and being “emo”, and Keith does indeed hate it, but it becomes such a constant in his life that Keith….likes it? Like its the first consistent thing he has.

Even when the teasing becomes more playful. Keith always knows when to expect a “Hey there, Mullet.” or “Easy there, Black Parade”, and its nice to have that constant.

So yeah, Keith falls first.

I think the best piece of character design advice I ever received was actually from a band leadership camp I attended in june of 2017.

the speaker there gave lots of advice for leaders—obviously, it was a leadership camp—but his saying about personality flaws struck me as useful for writers too.

he said to us all “your curses are your blessings and your blessings are your curses” and went on to explain how because he was such a great speaker, it made him a terrible listener. he could give speeches for hours on end and inspire thousands of people, but as soon as someone wanted to talk to him one on one or vent to him, he struggled with it.

he had us write down our greatest weakness and relate it to our biggest strength (mine being that I am far too emotional, but I’m gentle with others because I can understand their emotions), and the whole time people are sharing theirs, my mind was running wild with all my characters and their flaws.

previously, I had added flaws as an after thought, as in “this character seems too perfect. how can I make them not-like-that?” but that’s not how people or personalities work. for every human alive, their flaws and their strengths are directly related to each other. you can’t have one without the other.

is your character strong-willed? that can easily turn into stubbornness. is your character compassionate? maybe they give too many chances. are they loyal? then they’ll destroy the world for the people they love.

it works the other way around too: maybe your villain only hates the protagonist’s people because they love their own and just have a twisted sense of how to protect them. maybe your antagonist is arrogant, but they’ll be confident in everything they do.

tl;dr “your curses are your blessings, and your blessings are your curses” there is no such thing as a character flaw, just a strength that has been stretched too far.

I’m in love with this fic. The mindfuck tag is no joke. Ripping my hair out as I reread stuff with all the recent context in latest chapter. Go read:

Even the People in Your Dreams Will Lie to You by popering on AO3

The team rescues Lance and Keith from their months-long imprisonment at the hands of the Galra. No one expects their missing paladins to be exactly the same as they were, but they're prepared to help them in whatever way they need. Lance seems eager enough to get things back to normal, but Keith won't even acknowledge them. The team is at a loss. How are you supposed to help someone who won't even look at you?

(mind the tags, and stay safe ❤️)

They are so IN SYNC

Okay you know those lines from romance books and fanfics where they’re like “our lips fit perfectly together”?

It’s obviously a commonly used thing that doesn’t actually make sense when you think about it, but explain to me how this kiss actually matches that description???
