I was wondering abt your opinions between the narrative parralells between Allura and Keith

Good question, but probably not the best one for me. I will attempt to answer, but I doubt my resulting analysis will be as clean as some of my others (I don't tend to do so much pieces on Keith), so be warned lol.

Okay, so, Allura and Keith are both remarkably selfless people, even if that selflessness comes from wildly different places. Keith has never put a value on his life because, after his father died and before Shiro entered his life (aka during his formative years), nobody let him know that it was acceptable to. I think he compartmentalised the idea that he was expendable; so like, he wouldn't admit to it *consciously*, but when it came down to it, he'd take a bullet even for a faceless colleague (Regris). Like many things about Keith, it's very spur-of-the-moment. Allura's selflessness, however, does not come from low self-esteem. Where Keith thinks he is lesser, Allura simply believes that what she is fighting for is greater than herself. This is influenced by her upbringing too -- as a princess, she was raised to put the needs of other people above her own desires. She's always been willing to lay her life down for the cause.

Keith and Allura both have the biggest struggle adjusting to their new Lions. Lance adapts to his role fairly quickly; while the Red Lion is tailor-made for Keith, he and Lance have similar enough temperaments. Allura, meanwhile, has to learn to lose control while Keith learns how to gain it.

Independence is not a natural state of being for Allura and Keith; it is a result of ostracisization. Keith has never fit in, and Allura has nowhere to fit in. While Allura upholds the team, in the end, she is forced to split. She is forced to sacrifice her autonomy, to suffer to an extent that none else suffer. Keith, on the hand, is rarely seen working in tandem with the team. He is more comfortable doing everything himself.

That's all I've got in me rn. I'm sure there's more, but I really need a rewatch lol.

If Allura became a god does that mean Honerva also became a god.

Me when people blatantly misrepresent Allura by making shit up/vastly overexaggerating

Allura could have been the awful mean girl you guys claim she is and I’d have loved her anyway.
