I know its been like 10 million years but Iām. Still. Not. Over. This. Crap!
and I need to make this post about it.
āLance will end up with someone he needs rather than wantsā
He clearly doesnāt WANT Keith but he does goĀ to Keith when heās uncertain about himself or needsĀ reassurance:Ā
Keith reassures him of course:Ā
And he leaves feeling reassured and confident about himself:
And sometimes Keith goes to him:
And reassures him once again:
And he leaves feeling sure of himself and confident again:
āLance will end up at the opposite of where he startedā
Do I even need to explain this one?
He starts off hating and arguing with Keith, who he treats as his rival:Ā
But eventually learns to respect and care for Keith as his leader and friend:
It was also mentioned by one of the producers of Voltron that the relationship between Keith and Lance is probably the one that develops the most out of any other in the show.
āLance will end up with someone who is self assured and knows herself so that he can become that same person and know himself tooā
Iām aware that Allura is self assured and knows herself but I definitely donāt think that she makes Lance sure of himself in any way, shape or form. In fact he often feels unsure of himself and insecure when he thinks about Allura:
He doesnāt feel good enough for her:
āAnd I canāt tell her how I feel. She wouldnāt take me seriously anyway. I donāt have anything to offer. Iām just a boy from Cuba not a space prince like Lotorā
Heck even when he wants to ask her out heās unsure:
āMaybe this just isnāt the right timeā
Even on their date this is the face he makes?:
But Lance literally becomes the paladin of the red lion, Keithās lion and becomes Keithās right hand man:
āAnd weāre gonna do it with the Lance thatās the paladin of the RED lionā¦ā
AND we get an actual quote from Keith where he says:
āI donāt care where I come from, I KNOW WHO I AM.ā
when he unlocks his marmora sword
āso that he can become that same personā¦ā:
āā¦and know himself tooā:
āā¦and the Lance WHO KNOWS EXACTLY WHO HE IS and what heās got to offerā
āLance will be someoneās first choiceā
The mice tell Allura that Lance has feelings for her:
Two episodes later she kisses Lotor:
āLance will be someoneās first choiceā
Keith chooses Lance to live and Lance chooses Keith:
Keith sees Lance first when Shiro tells him that he needs to see the paladins in order to get to them:
He chooses Lance out of everyone to lead when heās leaving:
āLance, lead the way, keep the team togetherā
He calls out to Lance first when heās in trouble:
āLanceās endgame will be a slow burnā
Now I know that Allurance may have been a slow burn to an extent but typically a slow burn involves a romance that is slowly built up for both individuals. While Lanceās feelings for Allura was shown throughout the series, her feelings toward him were only ever made clear within the space of maybe 3 or 4 episodes. Their relationship only ever had a beginning and an end, there wasnāt really any in between. Plus to add onto that Lance never really developed his feelings for Allura, which is what typically happens in slow burn romances, he always liked her from the minute she fell into his arms, those feelings werenāt something he had to slowly become aware of or accept they were just there.
Having a bonding moment that shows that they donāt entirely hate each other and that they can work together:
But still having their ups and downs and being put into uncomfortable situations where theyāre forced to work together:
but then their relationship gets a little deeper and they have to support one another even if it makes them feel uncomfortable or makes them sacrifice something so that the other is happy:
and then thereās a tear in their developing relationship:
aka Keith leaves and Lance is lonely even though he may not know why:
āyeah who am I gonna make fun of?ā
But then theyāre reunited:
But thereās still some tension and old hurt there:
āKeith. You ran away. Maybe you should have just stayed away.ā
Lance is clearly hurt by Keithās absence and doesnāt want it to happen again:
āWait. Where are you going?ā
But they still work well together because theyāre in sync and a pretty good team:
And then they talk to each other again and share moments together when things are quiet:
and are slowly helping each other heal together:
and they recall old times and their journey continues:
Klance is so slow burn that 8 seasons of Voltron plus time skips werenāt even enough to show their entire build up and relationship growth. This isnāt how their story ends, its still developing. They end up together in the future but their entire story is like a million word slow burn fanfic.
Sorry for the long post but I had to put all these thoughts together in one place. Thanks for reading. Love yāall and all thatās leftĀ to say is KLANCE IS CANON KING!
