WHY I THINK THE LGBT REP IN VOLTRON IS NOT OVER
Okay honestly i’m pissed. Everyone in the vld fandom jumps to conclusions way too fucking quickly. Yes it’s was bad that Adam died, yes it’s bad that the creators was hyping up their relationship so much, but i have reasons to believe that the LGBT+ Rep in Voltron is not ending!
I’m gonna start by explaining why i don’t think Allurance is going to be endgame:
First of all the creators confirmed in an interview that it would not be good for Lance and Allura to end up together. I can’t find any pictures of it but i know i have seen this somewhere on tumblr before.
(If anyone can find a picture from the interview please let me know)
Not only that but the creators said that Lance would end up with someone the opposite of where he started. And he is going to end up with what he needs rather than what he wants.
It just wouldn’t make sense if Allura is Lance’s endgame romance, it contradicts everything that the creators have said, so either Lance won’t end up with Allura or the creators are lying.
Now the reason why i believe Lance is lgbt:
Now i know many knows this but Lance is holding the LGBT sign together with Shiro
Every character is holding their signs for a reason.
Pidge and Allura are holding this sign because Allura was the first one to confront Pidge about her gender after the reveal that Pidge is a girl.
Keith and Hunk are holding this sign because Hunk was the first to confront Keith about him being half galra.
Do you see where i’m going with this?
I strongly believe that Shiro is going to confront Lance about something LGBT related. We know that Shiro himself is LGBT so that is why he is holding the sign. So why is Lance holding the lgbt sign? Surely they wouldn’t just put him in the picture just so the entire team is on there righ?
That just wouldn’t make sense in my book! I believe that the reason is that Lance might be delevoping feelings for Keith i mean:
That wouldn’t be hard to believe right?
(I mean i’m sure i can find more screen caps hinting at this)
Anywho what i mean is that Shiro can help Lance understand that it’s okay for him to like Keith.
Think about it the creators have never truly said that Klance won’t become canon yet they have said that it won’t be good for Lance and Allura to end up together after everything that has happened in season 6, isn’t that a bit strange?
Yeah i know that after Season 7 it seems that they are planning to make allurance endgame
When she learned that Lance genuinely liked her she didn’t seem happy she seemed…sad? Like she didn’t know what to do about it.
I just after what happened in season 6 it would really suprise me if Allura got feelings for Lance THAT quickly especially after her heartbreak with Lotor.
IT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP!!!
And honestly i don’t even want to mention the whole Keith x Axca thing. Because it doesn’t make sense. Honestly there is no romantic development between them i feel like everyone is jumping to conclusions over what Ezor and Zethrid said to them.
In conclusion either the creators are lying and queerbaiting us or it isn’t over yet. Because honestly for god sake people…
THIS ISN’T THE LAST SEASON!!!! DON’T CLAIM THAT THEY ARE QUEERBAITING US TILL THE SHOW IS OVER GOD DAMMIT!!!
And honestly shipping is not everything that matters. What i’m most mad about is how many of you are hating on this season just because your damn ship might not be canon.
All i’m saying is wait till the show is over before giving up, many romantic relationships in cartoons develop during the very last episode of the series so honestly there isn’t anything saying that this doesn’t apply to voltron.
Sorry if this was worded badly i just wanted to spread some hope. If it isn’t much to ask then please reblog this so that others can see this, please and thank you
EDIT: I just wanted to say that i might have worded this badly. I didn’t mean that the voltron creators weren’t queerbaiting us because with everything going on in season 7 with Adam and Shiro they totally were. All i’m saying is that we should wait till the season is over before we give up hope on lgbt rep because there is so many hints pointing towards it and until the show is over we can’t say that they are lying.
With that said don’t get your hopes up too high okay? I don’t want to have given you guys false hope in case my theory is wrong..
