Klance stans, don’t lose hope
Okay so first of all, I know season 7 was entirely what we expected. it was still pretty awesome, we got loads of Lance scenes, Hunk FINALLY got the arc he deserved and loads of other fantastic scenes.
But I think a lot of you will agree with me that one thing got me pretty confused, if not a little angry:
I’m not entirely sure why the writers put this is after all the development they showed with Keith and Lance and how Allura was worried that Lance had feelings for her.
I know a lot of Klance fans will be worried right now, but please, don’t lose hope yet.
After I had finished watching the season, I thought up something that could provide some hope:
When S7 ended with the Garrison finding out that robot was powered by an Altean, it felt like there was going to be a lull on action. All threats for now are gone. Zethrid and Ezor are off being pirates, Lotor is in the quintessence field (for now), Haggar is god knows where (I feel like she would be trying to get Lotor back or something, I dunno) and then Zarkon and Sendak are dead. There aren’t any threats now.
This would leave the paladins time to bond with each other whilst the garrison and Allura figure out where and how this robot with the Altean came to be.
So without further ado, heres my prediction for S8:
Don’t kill me, but judging from this scene and all the other scenes where Allura jumped in to help Lance and Allura giggling when she saw Red, its likely Allura and Lance will get together. It obvious Lance has liked Allura from the start, but Allura has never reciprocated his feelings until now.
If they got together, it probably start of sweet, Lance would be stunned that he was with Allura, probably brag about it until either pidge and hunk made fun of him, Keith got mad at him, or Allura politely told him to stop- because lance is lance. After a while maybe, their relationship may begin to deteriorate, why? Because of Allura.
Two reasons for this, the first being the arrival of the Altean. Allura is very proud of her Altean heritage and she does anything to protect it. If anything happens to do with that Altean heritage, she gets anxious. When Voltron started working with the blade of marmora, and they found out Keith was galra, she grew very anxious and refused to speak to Keith because all she had known was that the galra were evil. when she found out about Romelle and the Altean colony, she grew anxious again. When Sendak stated that Altea fought against them to avoid imprisonment thus causing the galra to blow up Altea, she had to take a break. With the arrival of the Altean, Allura would want to spend a lot of time figuring out how they got to earth.
Another point is Lotors betrayal. Allura obviously had feelings for Lotor, she was willing to defend him whilst Lance pointed his blaster at him and she even kissed him before that. After Lotor betrayed Voltron, its most likely she’s going to feel pretty lonely and hurt. And because of this, its likely she’ll go to Lance just so she can feel some sort of love after Lotor betrayed her.
Lance has always loved Allura, since the first episode he’s tried to get with her. Lance has wanted to be with Allura for a very long time. But he may soon realise after getting together with her that maybe their relationship wasn’t what he had really hoped for. Maybe he thought it would be one thing, but instead it turned out completely differently. furthermore, Lance has always had a little bit of self doubt, he doubted if he could be with Allura stating that he had “nothing to offer”, and again, that self doubt might damage their relationship.
Being the space dad of the group, Shiro would probably notice the relationship breaking down first and would go to Lance to help. Josh has stated that Shiro sees a lot of himself in Lance, and because Shiro has had to go through breaking up and then loosing Adam, he may be able to offer Lance some advice.
Eventually, the pair would break up, it’d be no point staying in a relationship that wasn’t working out. Plus, if someone does decided to attack earth, it might put more pressure on them both to break up. Lance, of course, would be deverstated and blame himself, and Shiro would be the one to support him- or maybe even Keith? He did support Lance when he was worried about the lion swaps, so maybe Keith could help Lance too, who knows?
Eventually, Lance might start realising some things with his sexuality, the creators have told them that Voltron is set in a time where sexuality is pretty fluid, society won’t judge you for loving either a guy or a girl or somebody else, but Lance may still feel insecure if he started developing feelings for a guy (possibly Keith, again, who knows) and he might turn to Shiro for advice.
If klance were to become cannon, it most likely be very subtle. There would be a build up to it, maybe with scenes like we saw in season 3 to maybe either Lance or Keith confessing their feelings to the other- probably in the middle of a battle. Then there may be a scene with the two of them together at the end or something cute like that.
Lance’s arc has been reliant on him losing his self doubt, and Shiro would be the one to help with that. it also relies on Lance not necessarily getting what he wants, but what he needs.
Jeremy has said that Lance will be someones first choice, and not just a backup. Allura wanted to be with Lotor, but now she’s turned to Lance. Plus, its been kind of confirmed that Allura doesn’t have a romantic endgame, but Lance does. Also, who picked to save Lance in the gameshow; Keith. who gave Lance the responsibility of looking after the team while Keith rescued Axca; Keith.
Jeremy has said that romance in Voltron is slow burn, so why make the relationship one thats had no development for ages but then suddenly give it tons of development in the penultimate season? Once again, Allura has never reciprocated feelings for Lance.
Finally, one last bit of hope;
Im pretty sure all of you know about this theory but I’ll quickly explain it anyway;
Keith and Hunk are holding the race sign; Keith is galra and hunk helped him through that in the weblum episode.
Allura and Pidge are both holding the gender sign; Pidge had to hide the fact she was a girl from the others so she could get into the garrison, and Allura helped persuade her to come out to the group.
Shiro and Lance are holding the LGBT sign; its been confirmed that Shiro is gay, but what about Lance? He looks nervous in the picture and is barely holding the sign, whereas Shiro looks fine, plus, he has his hand on his shoulder.
Allurance may become cannon, and to be honest, I wouldn’t be upset if it did. But there is still hope for our ship guys.
Oh, and one more point. Please don’t attack the creators and actors. I know we didn’t get exactly what we hoped for, but this season was still amazing as always, and I was not let down by the quality of the animation or the writing or the acting; it was faultless.
But please, if you’re angry at the creators, don’t take your anger out on them.
