The next comic update is still a work in progress, so here’s little compilation of Shiro and Keith sketches, some of which I have posted to twitter 😝😝 I sketch on paper way faster than I can line on the computer;;
The complete sketchbook compilation is 50+ pages and is up on 💛Patreon💛 with an extra 10+ pages of NSFW sketches for the $5+ patrons 😘😘
One step at a time (if you are with me on every step of the way)
💕✨💪🏳️🌈SHIRO IS GAY!!!!!!!!!!!🏳️🌈💪✨💕 thank you voltron
we saved each other
My piece for Lee @candybarrnerd who wanted Sheith playing sports and what’s better sports than pair skating. Have a happy Vday!
Anyway, Shiro and Keith’s relationship directly parallels Kogane and Krolia’s, and I’m so damn here for it. But of course, there’s also this big glaring thing, which killed me:
Okay remind me when Voltron became a horror series????????
another sheith wip. I have way. too. many. sketches…the sketch for this was so old and bad I just decided to collapse all layers and hail mary.
Star-Crossed Lovers
“Two lovers -often teenagers- doomed to be kept apart no matter how hard they struggle to be together. It may be Fate….or something as mundane as a few hundred miles separation, but something will always be in their way.”
First they were separated by the Kerberos Mission going wrong. For a whole year it was like this. (While Keith was alone he found those lion carvings that described some kind of arrival fated to happen that night…)
(With Keith not even expecting to find Shiro at the crash site.)
Then again in Across The Universe. Shiro and Keith fell onto that planet together, and at the last second their lions seemed to fling in opposite directions. (For some reason this one stands out to me for this trope. I mean, Hunk and Lance landed together, but why do these two always seem to be pulled apart?)
Shiro and Keith landed miles from each other. Then Keith ran to him and saved Shiro just in time, reuniting them once again.
Then in Blackout. After the fight against Zarkon Shiro doesn’t respond on the coms, his lion seems like it’s out of power. Keith is the first one there, running to Shiro…
But this time Shiro wasn’t there. Somehow disappearing. (In someway that hasn’t even been fully explained yet.) But then, because of the Black Lion sensing him (and Shiro being lucky enough to steal a ship), they finally find each other again.
Most of the things that keep them separated seems like really bad luck. It’s something that’s usually out of their control that keeps them apart. It happens again and again, and seems like it could keep happening.
(Note: Romeo and Juliet is a well known story with this trope. Very often Star-Crossed Lovers ends tragically with the Together in Death trope. I feel like it doesn’t always have to end that way though. (I’m just hoping for the best here.) “Star-Crossed” meaning that the stars (destiny/fate) are against them. It certainly feels like something is always pulling these two apart.)
