Not to lion symbolism post again but like reading into when Allura is trying to act like Lance to connect with the Blue Lion

Allura's first instinct in trying to win over Blue is to flirt with her. This does absolutely nothing. BUT!! When she's willing to be vulnerable, letting go of control and asking for help, THAT'S when she connects with Blue. It feels like a good mirror to allurance to me

Thinking once again about how Lance's feelings not just for but about Allura shape his character development so much.

It would've been really easy for him to fall into changing/wanting to be better to win Allura's affections but they clearly spell out that isn't the case. When he thinks he has no chance with her and resolves to keep his feelings to himself he says that she makes him want to be a better person. He sees who she is and is inspired by that. He genuinely adores WHO SHE IS and what she does.

And that sincerity and genuine appreciation for her did result in her returning his feelings but that was never a goal for him. It happened because she saw him grow as a person and they formed a more genuine connection.

He becomes a better paladin (and person) because of her, and it stems from admiring her so much. They have such a genuine appreciation for each other that I just really appreciate

I've seen a bunch of "fandom etiquette" posts on my dash today and I'm going to say something that is maybe going to be unpopular but;

The absolutely pervasive mentality that unwanted criticism or critique shouldn't be given and should be ignored is why fans of color don't stay in fan spaces.

And I am not going to mince words here:

A lot of you are racist. A lot of your fan works are racist.

That might have been difficult to hear. And if it was, you should probably reflect on why that was.

"Fandom etiquette" has created a space where fans of color either bite our tongues and eventually leave or say something, get dogged on, and then eventually leave.

So much of "fandom etiquette" seems to be about insulating creatives from Feeling Bad and hostility to any kind of negative feedback is a pretty big contributor to why bigotry festers in these spaces.

#imo the potluck analogy applies- it would be rude to critique someone's icing technique at a potluck bc it wasn't as good as at the bakery #but if they had decorated their cupcakes w hate symbols it wouldn't be rude to tell them that's gross and gtfo #in fact it would be inappropriate to NOT say anything in that situation #or to complain that another guest who did point it out was 'ruining everyone's potluck' #and pointing out racism in fan works is 100% the second thing not the first!

Doesn't matter if it's platonic or romantic the ideal kallura dynamic is Keith being her guy. Like "He's always following you around who is he?" that's just her guy

scrolling through dating apps sucks because you’ll run in to people like Josh, the Pansexual Cheesemonger, and think “wow that’s cool as hell” but not be attracted to them so you swipe past. i’m sorry, josh. in another life we’re mongering cheese together. pansexually.

anyone else have neurodivergent parents and had your perception of what is common knowledge completely wrecked by their obsessions

(Trying to flirt) yeah I got a gf but we’re not monogamous (remembers people judge you for being polyamorous) we’re polygamists (remembers people don’t like Mormons) but I’m an atheist (remembers people don’t like cultural appropriation) but I’m a descendent of a Mormon prophet (remembers that he sucked) but I renounce him and think he got what he deserved when he got murdered (remembers to show interest in the other person) do you like me

Notice how Allura canonically likes sparkly things and Lance goes sparkle sparkle. The cuties of all time
