Okay so while itâs always fun to see posts about lance being a walking talking shitpost
I feel like there isnât enough genuine love for him as a characterÂ
so here is the lance appreciation post âą
If lance and keith were âneck and neckâ with keith being the top student, that means lance is fucking smart okay
iâve seen a lot of people make posts about lance being dense or making fun of pidge for being a nerd and it confuses me because this boy is canonically smart as hell
also look how quick he is to draw mr.assholes attention to HIMSELF so pidge doesnât get in trouble
and heâs the one who takes the scolding so that pidge doesnât have to iâm⊠hes an amazing friend
back to lance being smart as hell
while he may not work well in the simulator with other people, this boi got the hang of piloting a technologically advanced magical flying lion spaceship in minutesÂ
look at him g o okay he knows what heâs doingÂ
donât even get me started on how this boy is CLEARLY sad and missing home yet he puts on a brave face and cracks jokes trying to make other people happy or at least distract them from missing home I mean look at this child
and it seems he has a lot of family to miss, assuming that these people in his shared memory are his family
this boy has emotional baggage that he deals with all alone iâm dying
now letâs talk about his protective instincts because like
do not fuck with the people he cares about
in  âcrystal venomâ we see lance literally terrified because the castle has already tried to kill him once, but as soon as he thinks that one of his friends (coran) is in danger?? What fear? He runs into an airlock without a second thought because he wants to help his friend and almost dies because of it.
And in â The Fall of the Castle of Lionsâ
He sees a very obviously deadly bomb about to go ff and what does he do? Forget running he throws himself over coran like a human shield
THIS BOY RISES OUT OF A C O M A
AND SHOOTS AN ALIENS ARM OFF BECAUSE HEâS HURTING ONE OF HIS FRIENDS
Lance is smart, brave, talented, and Strong as hellÂ
he is so much more than comic relief yâall
feel free to add onto this I cranked this out in ike 5 minutes iâm sure iâve missed stuff
