sharing differences in how i write keith and lance because why not??

keith

- staccato sentences, thoughts divided sharply and colliding. lots of periods!

- often does not recognize or understand emotions coming at him. less “lance looked scared” and more “lance had wide eyes and looked pale”

- self doubt manifests as questions.

- action, THEN retrospection

lance:

- run-on sentences, connecting ideas, flowy inner monologue

- overreactions and overanalysis! equally unreliable as keith, but tends to explain what he sees wayyyy beyond what is actually occurring

- self doubt manifests as fact. “he’s not worthy/he’s not ready/others are better.”

- thinking, then acting, unless in period of high emotion

explaining the MLB au i just posted

“what why did you make lance chat and keith ladybug” i put a finger to your lips and say HUSHHHHH

lance is chat AND marinette because:

he has deep insecurities and plays them off with lighthearted humor

tries really hard but gets little recognition

admires ladybug so much for his prowess but despises keith’s aloofness (doesn’t realize it’s due to poor socialization)

in this au his mom runs a cuban-style cafe! like the bakery! but lance is a college student who is in the same program as keith (chem)

i want vibrant lance to contrast with the element of destruction, to learn how to be comfortable in pain and rage

keith is ladybug AND adrien because:

he has no fucking clue how to socialize and struggles with leadership at first but learns with lance’s help

his aloofness is actually awkwardness like adrien originally (reminds me of felix a bit)

universally more recognized by press

in this au, he was adopted into the shirogane family but shiro’s parents sadly passed when shiro was in college. he models bc he said “sure, whatever” when his brother asked him to step in a shoot. rest is history

bro is too serious bc he’s anxious

anyways i know not everyone will agree but it makes sense to MOI!

my current postcanon klance wip in a nutshell:

[bluemanticism]

So dedicated to this fic that I wrote 3800 words for chapter one, then scrapped it entirely and changed one of the main pieces of the entire fic and now they’re virtually unusable but maybe I’ll save it as bonus content or something. Anyways 2k words into my new draft now!! Hashtag the writing process
