Allurance?
Alright. I have a grand total of one (1) follower but I need to get this out somehow and why not here? My thoughts on Allurance.
More importantly, why at this point I’m against it.
So imma base this on a personal experience of mine, specifically of a guy liking me. Because when Allura was told by the mice that Lance liked her (side note: they really out here revealing everyone’s secrets huh) her reaction highkey paralleled my own when I found out this guy liked me. Literally it was CRAZY how I saw myself in her. Her facial expression, the kind of sad look. The regretful type expression that had me immediately be like aw my god poor Lance my sweetheart she doesn’t feel the same. Because I know I had those same feelings and expressions in my life!!!!!
That being said, I also had a Lotor type guy who I liked for AGES before he turned out to be an asshole. After that, I turned to the guy who liked me for comfort. This was totally not a conscious decision btw! I just gravitated towards him, he gave me affection and cared for me like I felt was what I wanted. So I thought maybe at some point we could be in a relationship BUT it never happened because I knew I didn’t truly like him.
But that may be where Allura and I diverge. I’m terrified she may pursue something with Lance because he cares for her so much and is so into her, she’ll take it for granted most likely without realizing. It’s what I did! And it hurt my guy, led him on, and it’ll do the same for Lance. It so feels like a rebound and I GET it, Allura my girl I so do I’ve been there. But I personally think Allura is better suited to having a sibling type relationship with Lance and being besties instead of anything romantic. She will find comfort in him I’m all here for support like this but not in a way that’ll hurt both of them in the long run.
Allura is an amazing, dynamic character who has now suffered a bit of a heartbreak and will move on with the help of her friends. But she doesn’t need a relationship to be okay again, much like I realized I didn’t. Idk maybe I’m just projecting too much of myself onto Allura but I was struck by how much this newfound Allurance thing hit home with me.
But!!!! I don’t wanna start any wars with anyone! If you ship Allurance go ahead and be happy with the content you got! This is just my opinion that was bugging me a lot and I wanted to get out :)
