What the fandom says: OMG, STOP MAKING MY BABY BOI LANCE SUFFER!! PLS VOLTRON WRITERS! WHY YOU GOTTA PLAY ME LIKE THIS?? HE DOESN'T DESERVE THIS!! *sobs*

What the fandom does: writes 10000X more langst fanfics and posts than any other angsty character *cough* keith *cough* *cough* shiro *cough* allura *cough* pidge *cough* and draws more than enough fanart of homesick lance needing/wanting to be cradled and problematically getting angry at socially inept keith who can't talk to people except shiro, somewhat. And therefore, bringing further complaints about langst and how he doesn't deserve it, while cackling in the corner and writing even more langst.

me (who sees through it all and is tired of the fandom making lance the angsty one when keith literally has no relatives that want anything to with him or have been forcibly taken away from him and therefore has had no interactions on a degree of being loved or appreciated. His only focus being a pilot because there is nothing else for him and lance calling him out like a bad guy when keith never meant to do any harm and was doing the only thing he was good at and knew how to do. Not only Lance making Keith being the bad guy for being the best pilot, BUT THE FANDOM AS WELL. Then getting kicked out the garrison for probably asking questions about the classified kerberos launch, and in turn, disabling him to do the one thing he was probably best at and ever enjoyed, period. While he was left, again, alone to fend for himself in a godforsaken desert with no interaction with people, ensuring him to be even more socially inept ... Then realizing that he is part galra, which starts the whole "i am evil" complex, along with him being unsure of who his mother is and what her intentions are now. Leading to inner turmoil and self doubt and self exhaustion of him being left out against the group, AGAIN, and being unsure who he really is supposed to be. Then, Shiro pulling the 'I want you to lead Voltron' card which creates even further stress for Keith because he now has to be sure enough to not only take care of himself, but now his team. When he is only 16. Everyone not being supportive, at first, of him being team leader while he doubts his OWN SELF. Clone Shiro comes in and undermines Keith just when he gets the hang of things, creating an inferiority complex. MEANWHILE the fandom has Lance being OVER analyzed for missing home, rain and, although he canonically thinks he's not useful, forgets to point out he's now Keith's right hand man. Not to mention, no one appreciates that Keith is an overall better pilot than lance - sorry lance stans - and that's a CANON FACT ): Could you not?

Write About That

It makes me very sad when people say they hate writing. They’ve had bad experiences with F’s on school papers or some business report that sucked the life out of them. They don’t see writing for all that it is. It’s not just book reports or the five paragraph essay. It’s not just business letters or a college entrance essay. It’s not just means of communication or a necessary life skill. It’s worth so much more.

What people don’t realize is that writing is whatever YOU want it to be, not what others have forced on you. You need to get some feelings out? Write down rants in a journal or diary. Then go back over what you wrote and rewrite it into a poem or story. Love sports? Write down your opinions or analyses. Later, polish them up and submit them to a magazine or newspaper, you might even get it published. Have a way with words and language? Take a stab at prose or poetry, and share it with those close to you, maybe even submit it for publication. Have characters and worlds swirling around in your head? Get them down on paper; brainstorm, develop, get creative. Write out your story as best you can.

Writing isn’t just confined to what’s been taught in schools, it’s also what you can teach yourself, that’s important.

Huh. It just occured to me that Keir, my Ranger, can't ride. I mean, there's never been a reason to. He grew up in a giant forest, and when he left he travelled afoot or hitched rides with caravans. Now he's a mercenary based on a ship.

So if we come up to anything involving horses, he's doomed.
