Yes. Yes he can. And he will, because he knows how much Shiro loves it. Or: the headcanon you guys can pry from my cold dead hands. Like all the other headcanons so far.

I love you too.
Shiro becoming an actual God has to be my favorite thing from this season.
A veterans point of view on season seven.
George S. Patton,Ā American soldier
āIt is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.ā
Shadam. So Iām going to discuss why from an old veterans point of view why I never had high hopes for it coming to light as far as the logical aspect.
I am an LGBT Veteran myself, in a similar age bracket to Shiro and Adam. Ironically Iām actually disabled as well because of an injury I received in the service.
Now. Some backstory. My ex actually gave me an ultimatum when I was trying to go to Germany almost identical to what Adam gave Shiro about going on the Kerberos mission. We had been together 8 years at that point. Basically it came between my dream and him. Now. Lemme say this. There is nothing worse than that feeling. Nothing worse than when you are a dream driven person being given that me or yourself feeling. That kind of choice is an ultimatum. And honestly a fairly negative one. It ended up being one of our biggest fights I ever had, and ended up being part of the end of our overall healthy relationship. It became toxic to me, I couldnāt live with the idea of me we being able to follow my dreams. And weāll. Needless to say, I left. I still CARED about him, and wouldnāt want something to happen to him. But that relationship came to a close.
While it may be very hard for some younger people to understand; when you are in a relationship that come to that, either that fight will happen again and again to you, or end. And itās OKAY. Youāre first relationship, dosent have to be your last. And you can love someone, but the situation not be good for you. Realistically, once youāre an adult love dosent conquer all. And staying together with someone when you disagree on certian life altering choices either you stay together and one of you is absolutely miserable and soul crushed, or you seperate, heal, and move on. You can still think of the other person but itās a fairly common thing to happen to adults.
You can leave someone and still be in love with them, and have no intentions of getting back together with them because itās not good for you. Even if you didnāt fight alot, even if your relationship was healthy for the most part. There are some things that are complete deal breakers. Often times ultimatums are it. Usually of an ultimatum is issued to one person, truthfully even if you love them, the trust is broken and it never feels the same. And so it closes.
also another thing to notice, as far as military relationships, there is something called service before self. And it literally means that you put your job your duty and your responsibilities, above your emotional and personal needs. You donāt have those, and good military leaders do not acknowledge their personal beliefs if they affect their job. And that is beaten into you, quite literally.
Now onto why Iām not too surprised Adam is dead.
This show is about war. Not love and war. War. Friendship and WAR. Love can happen, but letās go over the logical aspect.
I one hundred percent have to say, It dosent make sense to think a serviceman of high capacity trained in combat would be immune to war. This is the reality of the war. In the military you gain an almost acceptance that this could happen, to your friends, your roommates, and dozens of other people you know. Adam was trained for a combat arms field, he trained and specialized knowing he could die in that job. As did Shiro, Keith and Lance as fighter pilots.
Iāve buried people. Cargo pilots who had accidents. Iāve seen what happens while people are on the front lines. They donāt come back of there sent into some places.
While sad and heartbeaking, it was inevitable with his militant position. All able bodied fighters died. Everyone who went against one of those galra ships was killed. Essentially they went into a gunfight with muskets against machine guns. It would not have made logical sense in war with the kinds of weapons they had for them to survive. As we see even some of voltronās weapons were ineffective against some of the current technology used later on in the drones. The technology had to be adapted and upgraded.
Shiro is a wonderful representation of a strong military leader, and he is still gay heās not just going to not be gay because a man he broke up with YEARS ago isnāt there.
Estimated time after the breakup
1 year on the Kerberos mission
1 year enslaved
1year in the coalition
1year? From then they rescued prof Holt
1.5 years back to earth.
So itās been at least around five years give or take for Shiro on his end, possible more possibly less. But at LEAST a few years.
And even longer for Adam because of the time skip. So add 2-3 years onto that for Adam.
Now back onto my ex, with a significant other, I still think of him once in awhile, and I am fond of those good memories, and I would be sad if something happened to him. But after even two or three years I had completely moved on. After 7 or more, I most likely would have not considered it. I might be willing to talk to my ex and kind of mull things over, but the idea of getting back together, one would not cross my mind. Even if we patched things up, we would have moved on. There is a pretty good chance that Adam not only had moved on, but like my ex had a family, especially if he thought Shiro was DEAD.
Weāve seen Shiro cry, and he didnāt seem to outwardly effected, and some people had issue with that, and that he didnāt have time to mourn.
Well, youāre conditioned by the time training is over to not cry much. They beat it the fuck into you. If youāre too emotional it can be a combat liability. You have to be ready for someone to die. Someone you love. I still worry bout some of my active duty friends at times. And Iād be sad, but Iāve been exposed to so much death and trained so well, I might tear up. But there would not be bawling. You donāt have TIME to cry in combat zones, especially not if youāre the person in charge. The idea that Shiro would have the response or time to loose his mind over his ex that he broke up with half a decade ago, after everything heās been too, and the THOUSANDS of deaths heās been exposed to fighting in Voltron, isā¦.just not realistic for a soilder of his calibre. Lance maybe, hunk and pidge. But Shiro has always been very controlled in his emotions, he is a perfect soilder, and a good trait of a great soilder, is the emotional expression of a teaspoon when sad. Itās called military bearing, and they literally train you to be unresponsive when duty calls. With rubber chickens.
When your buddy dies in combat, you fight HARDER. You donāt let there sacrifice go in vain. You come together closer.
Most people are looking at this like civilians NOT servicemen. Thatās NOT how war works.
You literally spend months, day in day out, getting harassed, insulted, SCREAMED AT told how worthless you are. You donāt even have a NAME until you earn it. You are ātrainiee, female, male, cadet ectā. Shiro goes by shiro. Which is NOT his first name. While that may be a Japanese culture thing, it is actually also a military thing. You use your last name. Almost exclusively. People like shiro THRIVE in this environment. They THRIVE in this hard rough repetitive stressed environment and GOOD LUCK TAKING THEM OUT OF IT WILLINGLY. So what if youāre only known by your last. You donāt care.
So please stop hating on people. Stop getting mad about things, as far as War goes, this is a fairly good representation of how it feels. Of what happens. Do you know how much it means to me to see a disabled military man on the screen whose also LGBT and acts LIKE A MILITARY MAN? It means ALOT. I have a bum leg. It donāt work well. Iām fairly open about it. Shiro is a fantastic representative of LGBTQ and military rolled into a smoothed out well written individual. Leave it at that. Season seven isnāt the end of things. Itās the beginning. Donāt forget season seven and eight go hand in hand, AND even though the TV series is coming to an end, they ARE planning on comics and novels.
Truth be told, I canāt see Shiro getting in a relationship so long as this war is going on. Feelings aside. After itās over or he retires MAYBE but heās too good of a soilder to consider it so long as heās needed. Heās a soilder first, a person second. A relationship would hinder his duty AT THIS TIME. When this is all said and done, maybe he will. But aināt no soilder worth his salt getting in a relationship while in the combat zone, gay, straight, otherwise. Have hope for the end, when they win this war, that when we will see something happen.
*SPOILERS* To the Voltron community:
I am disappointed in you all. Truly, I am. I have been following this show since day one, and I have loved every second of it. From the amazing effort the studio and team puts into producing this show to the loving VAs and production team who go out of their way to meet and greet their fans, there is evidence of extreme love and passion everywhere.
But since day one, there have been so much unnecessary anger, toxic speech and ridiculous quarrels over literally irrelevant topics that most have nothing to do with the show. Now that season seven has arrived, everyone is at each othersā throats and itās disgusting and shameful. Over a cartoon nontheless. So, here is my opinion.
First of all, I am a much older fan of the series (two years away from the big 3 and 0) and I am openly gay and currently an active duty service member in the military. (You can probably guess who my favorite character is at this point.) When they announced about a month ago how Shiro is gay and was in a committed relationship with another man prior to his mission, I was beyond thrilled. I felt I related to him as a character so much, from dealing with balancing a relationship with his career and aspirations. Heās such a strong leader and did not have to try hard to persuade others to follow.
After watching the season, I can honestly say this was one of the best. From the immense action to the great development of the characters (especially Lance and Hunk who received a ton of great scenes) it was so well rounded and intense. But now people are coming out accusing this season for āqueerbaitingā and that killing off an LGBT+ character was ātraumatizingā and āhorrible.ā
What I want you to know that season seven was never meant to be about your ships, it wasnāt meant to be about reproducing your fanfictions and creating your fantasy of happy, homosexual relationships everywhere. No.
THIS SEASON IS ABOUT WAR.
This season was meant to show that no matter your age, gender, background, ethnicity or sexual orientation, war will affect you in horrible and traumatizing ways. It was meant to show that no matter who you are or where you came from, you could lose anything whether youāre prepared or not. The writing was meant to make you feel unsettled and uncomfortable because when you face reality, this is war and its effects on people, the environment and our planet.
When they killed off Adam, I will admit that I was sad. I was sad for the character but then again I was sad for any character who died in this show.
But this is not queerbaiting.
Adam may be dead now, but Shiro is still in the show. There is still another season of Voltron to come and there is still more story to come. Killing off Adam is that exact demonstration of war for which I feel the writers wanted to demonstrate, no matter who you are you can die at anytime, anywhere. I feel his death is a driving point into Shiroās character progression. At the time of their break up Shiro had put the mission first before his relationship. Coming back to Earth and finding about the news, Iām sure he was feeling regret, guilt and tremendous sadness. But for him to continue on and knew other lives depended on him now more then ever, I feel his death helped add to Shiroās resiliency to press on.
This is what we service members are taught. In war you will lose loved ones, people you may consider as your friends, your family, husbands, wives, everyone dear to you. But if you donāt keep fighting, youāve already lost.
Aside from this, as an openly gay individual I do not need a relationship to define who I am. I have happily been with the love of my life for 14 years now and we have been married for almost two years. But even if I was not in a relationship, I am still me with the same feelings and ideas/beliefs. Even without a relationship I am still gay. Shiro may still be single now at this point in the show, but he is still the strong leader whose holding it together for everyone else. As a character he certainly does not need to be in a relationship to define himself. Iāll be honest, I would love for space dad to have a peaceful, happy ending (with a long vacation) and I am sure the writers will pull through in this last season. But whether heās single or not, he is still the perfect LGBT+ representative I wish I had in my cartoons growing up.
So please. Stop harassing and hurting each other. If you donāt like the show, just donāt watch it. Turn off your TV, computer, phones, whatever and find something that you will enjoy. The Voltron team has worked hard to bring their story to life and you have every right to agree or disagree with the show. But if you donāt like it then just stop watching, itās as simple as that.
As for myself, I will continue to watch Voltron and wait for its epic conclusion. Until then, be nice. We already have so many more important issues in the world to be focusing on.
(sorry for the long rant and any typos I may have. Just needed to get this off my chest)
āOh, he would.ā
AT LONG LAST, itās finished! Also known as AU where Keith takes up a part-time job as a poledancer in a town not far from the Garrison and Shiro runs into him on one of his days off. And rushes to protect Keithās virtue, of course.
I wanted to make this one as a small thank you for @arahir - thank you for everything that youāre doing for this fandom and for being awesome, youāre one of the most amazing people Iāve met and you deserve the world ā„ I hope this will make you smile!

Sheithlentines gift for @fcllencngels! Iām so very sorry for the wait, but I hope you like your gift. I really liked theĀ āslightly angstyā andĀ āPreKerberosā prompts from your wishlist. I tried my best to do something with both. After finishing, I thought that Keith would probably have had a flip phone. Shiro may have bought him a smart phone to stay in touch easier and to send cute messages back and forth. Have a wonderful upcoming White Day and rest of March.
Iām just⦠really sad and tired, guys. I hate that the fandom is the way it is.Ā
I made this blog for sheith positivity and I intend to keep it that way, I just need to angst for a bit. This blog usually stays far away from discourse but right now itās hard to be silent. Sorry.Ā
Sheith makes me happy and Iāve never seen anything wrong with shipping it. I donāt get the discourse against sheith. I had personally been told by somebody I considered to be my best friend that I was anĀ āapologistā because I shipped sheith and I didnāt want anybody to lose their love of the ship because of people like them. I made this blog because of that experience. Sheith means a lot to me and itās sad to see that the fandom it resides in is so toxic. Itās really unfortunate that even the cast and crew has to be aware of how toxic it is, too. The fact that Josh Keaton was harassed and even felt the need to make that post is inexcusable. Even though Iām sad about the content of the post⦠be nice to Josh Keaton. He doesnāt deserve the harassmentānobody does.Ā
Iām an overemotional person and cry easily, so just ignore me. Sheith has just been a big part of my life for the past two years and seeing such negativity around it really hurts. I just wanted to let yaāll know that I donāt care about the discourse and will continue to run the blog as I have. I also just wanted to say please be good to Keaton.Ā
If you love sheith, continue to make that art or write that fic. Ship sheith and love it regardless of what people might throw at you.Ā
Thanks.Ā
Iād also just like to quickly say that you guys are awesome followers and never once have I had an @nti in my inbox. Thanks.Ā Ā
Donāt mess with Shiroā¦or else Keith will kick your butt
