me, checking out a voltron blog: hm, i wonder what they’re like...?
their header: “#he’s looking at keith”
me: ...really? i mean-
me: a TRUE shipper would know the quote is “#he is looking at keith” not “he’s”
me: :D
AKA; HELLO, YES, IN LIGHT OF RECENT EVENTS THERE IS GOING TO BE A BIG SHIFT ON MY BLOG!
i have always been discourse free and hate free and clearly loving lotor ships, as those of you who know me know, but from this day forth, while i am planning to remain discourse free aside from this post and any replies about this post, i want you all to clearly know my stance on the discourse: i am very strongly pro shaladin. and not just for the stance. i ship sheith. it is fantastic and shiro makes keith so happy. why don’t i have a problem with sheith? 1) i don’t see them as having more than a 3 year age gap (considering it was confirmed that shiro had just graduated when he went for the kerberos mission, keith was not a first year when he dropped out, and the GG is most likely a 4 year institution/uni) 2) i see them as both adults, even when they were at the garrison 3) i don’t think age gaps, even if they did have one, are inherently unhealthy as long as both parties are adults. 4) no, i don’t think and have never thought they are related. i’ve posted a couple sheith posts before, and had it on my ship list for months, but now it will be appearing on my blog on a more regular basis. feel free to block the tag #sheith if you do not wish to see that, along with any other ship tags you may not want to see, because i will most likely post about some ships i don’t ship as well, and who knows... maybe i’ll hop on some new other ship trains too. I understand I may lose followers for this, but I will be instead gaining friends.
I AM LOOKING FOR NEW MUTUALS/FRIENDS WHO:

***required, everything else is just bonus :D
PLEASE EITHER REBLOG THIS + TAG WHAT YOU POST -OR- LIKE THIS + REPLY WITH WHAT YOU POST -OR- INSTANT MESSAGE (not ask) ME A HELLO + TELL ME WHAT YOU POST IF YOU’D RATHER DO IT PRIVATELY ...AND I’LL CHECK YOUR BLOG OUT! if i like your stuff, i will follow you/follow you back, and i will try to message you too so we can become mutuals... and friends!:D
(notes/faq under the cut, reading is optional, but it may answer some questions)
things to note:
make sure that you either allow IM messages from everyone, or if not, that you follow me first so that i can message you and we can start talking :D
i will NEVER condone harassment of real people and their families/children over a fictional ship, there are a couple ships in voltron that do make me uncomfortable, and i just ignore it, because i know and understand other people don’t share my headcanons and may see those characters differently than i do, so they’re just my NOTPs.
while i prefer voltron-centric blogs, you don’t have to be voltron only, but please be voltron heavy
i do ship klance, but i am much more heavy into multiship, aliens, galra and rare pairs, so even if you have #klance blacklisted, i’m still open to being mutuals and you’ll only be missing select amount of my content
i carefully tag all of my content, so anything you blacklist, you’ll be good!
i post mostly original content! anything from art, to memes to edits!
i know i may get hate now, but this blog is discourse free and hate free, any hate will simply be deleted, or respectfully replied to with kindness
no, i do not support adult/minor relationships, and if you are an adult attracted to minors, please never interact with me or my posts ever
i’m not mass blocking all antis or saying you can’t follow me/interact with my posts, but i won’t follow you back or reblog from you if you are anti, and if you send me or any of my friends hate or harassment, you will not be welcome here
while i only actively ship sheith in the shaladin umbrella, i am open to following people who ship anything as long as you are pro shaladin, i don’t need to ship your otp to appreciate it
while i’m mostly looking for shaladin/sheith mutuals on this specific post, you don’t have to ship shaladin for me to follow you in general, neutral/ship-free/hate free and pro shaladins who don’t ship it are all great too, as long as you don’t identify as ‘anti’ or harass anyone for what they ship, i’m cool with you! and you’re welcome to message me too :)
this includes ex-antis, if you drop the label and change your ways, whether you switched to neutral or pro, you’re fine too!
also know, you don’t have to ship shaladin just because i do, if it makes you uncomfortable, as i said before, you can blacklist the tags, no problem, i’m not going to force anyone to ship sheith
thank you to the people in my life, old and new, that have given me the confidence and courage to come forward with my stance: @im-so-voltdone @kcgane @marmorababy @belovedsheith @cupidlance @adenna79 @purplerubyred @tiredgaykeith @cagethestars @lotors-saltwife @blacklionshiro @just-for-voltron @flusteredkeith @keiths-stupid-mullet @vld--mess @spicyboikeith @factorysaltedpeanuts @internetfeet @jaegereska @paladinwilla thank you all from the bottom of my heart, you’re all so kind, ok? thank you.
i’m sorry this took so long but, HI PRO SIDE! I’M ONE OF YOU! I’M A SHALADIN! PATIENCE YIELDS FOCUS, AS MANY TIMES AS IT TAKES, BUT HE LOVES KEITH, SHIRO LOVES YOU BABY!!!!!! :D
I'm super happy things are going well (besides that one diver ☹). But it is interesting to see how the regular world sees a 25 y/o as young, too. Yes, this is a pro-Shiro-still-a-young-guy trying-to-do-the-right-thing post. The (unconfirmed) 25 does not mean Shiro should be treated like he's 50. Here's how ppl in their 20's are seen by the outside world.
i’m so sorry if a mentally ill, physically disabled, japanese man who does his best to cope and be a hero is “boring” or “bland” to you, especially if the unoriginal dark haired emo anime boy who gets everything handed to him is “interesting”
antis: shaladins ruin shiro!!!!! oh no!!!! what are we going to do????
also, antis: have called shiro unfit to lead because he has “brains like scrambled eggs”, called him a pedophile, focus on his ships rather than hes a pstd survivor, asian, and have a robotic arm,
hey why the fuck do antis hate shiro as a character just wondering! you can like a character without liking the ships the character is involved in! in fact, you can love a character while HATING the ships they're involved in. i do it all the time! the fact that so many of y'all hate a literal PTSD prisoner survivor for no valid reason is pretty fucking telling about your own internalised ableism. but do you i guess 🐸☕️
