Fandoms seeing a male character who happens to be skinny,pasty and emotionally fragile:Ugh he's so gnc!Twink supreme,he'd be a f*mboy if his creator wasn't a coward!He's like if a man and a woman had a baby and represents the female experience way better than any of the canon 'women' who're all so boring and annoying and bitchy!He gotta be my favorite gender

Fandoms seeing a black woman/girl character who's super openly feminine,proud of it and indulges it constantly and considered beautiful in-universe:Am i the only one who finds her femininity really forced and stilled?I mean she reads to me like she should be butch and not care about being girly or anything relating to being a woman!She's like a guy to me but like not in a transmasc egg way or anything,she dosen't have any chemistry with her male love interest and he treats her like one of the boys moreso than a woman he's attracted to!

My favorite ships are the ones where there’s nothing wrong with shipping them in canon but the default/go with what’s popular fanbases treat it like it’s the most deplorable most problematic piece of fiction to exist of all time and all the shippers are horrible people, and deserve endless harassment over it.

Why the fanon straight ships of these fandoms are always better than the canon straight ones?

PLEASE don't throw rocks at me for this. Hear me out before you assume where I'm going with this.

This is not me saying 'Keith and Allura have romantic chemistry'

It's actually a filmmaking observation more than anything else.

What surprised me in this episode wasn't their dynamic itself - it was the visual language the show suddenly chose to use for them??

First Allura literally ends up in Keith's arms.

Then she gets embarrassed and blushes.

like

i mean

...okay????

Later when they lose the space ship and are drifting through space they're reaching for each other in a sequence that almost looks like they're dancing????

That was not necessery.

I don't think it's stright up romantic.

But these are the kind of scenes film and television often uses when planting the possibility of a future romance.

Visual cues that tell the audience "hey maybe keep an eye on these two"

I've seen somewhere someone argued "well neither of them really reacted" but that's not really the point.

If you were writing a REALLY GOOD slow burn romance that would be perfectly normal.

You usually don't have the characters immediately realize anything, the audience notices first.

My question is why did the writers choose this particular tv language for these two?

Especially because from literally episode one the show already promised Allurance endgame.

So what was the intention here?

Were they leaving themselves options?

Throwing the fandom some ship fuel?

Or was it maybe just a little nod to the older Voltron continuity where Keith and Allura were paired? (is my info correct? I haven't watched the og Voltron)

It's just interesting from a storytelling perspective.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all the way with the gay Keith interpretation, and I don't think it will change later seeing how much fandom incorporated it as fanon.

I just find it really weird what they were doing with Keith and Allura in this episode

Also

Can we talk about how funny it is that I already know Lance and Allura are apparently the endgame yet right now, in season 2, Keith has had more substantial interactions with Allura than Lance has lmao

Lance and Hunk somehow feel like they have the least meaningful one-on-one development with her so far.

I'm curious how the show plans to bridge that gap.
