thank go someone finally said this. i understand that siblings relations differ from family to family, but as someone with 3 siblings i know for a fact that keith and shiro don’t act like brothers
noah fence but speaking as someone who has two younger siblings, i’m highly concerned for everyone who thinks that shiro and keith’s interactions are brotherly. like……….. listen………….. you do not act w/ younger siblings that that. trust me. i adore both my younger siblings, my little brother and my sister, and i will protect them with my LIFE and kill ten men for them, but even i wouldn’t say or do half the shit shiro and keith do with each other. and this?
you…………….. don’t look…………. at your brother like this………… you just. don’t. i get damn mushy and lovey with my siblings and esp my younger sister (it’s also a rather different dynamic w her bc she’s 8) but even at my most mushy and lovey it’s never like this. so can we like. stop pretending or forcing in any sibling-like elements into a dynamic where it’s totally absent or acting like the romantic overtones ppl see in their relationship are completely imagined??? because i stg it’s like people don’t actually look at their interactions in the actual show at times.
i stg im such a fucking lebian i had no idea WHAT this post was trying to say. only after reading ten comments of ‘dat ass’ did i FINALLY understand jesus fucking christ
the whole clone theory has died down now, and season 4 doesn't offer us any new intel/hints, but you can't deny that shiro was making questionable decisions in this episode.
before this episode, the only (arguably) un-shiro-like thing 'shiro' had done was let keith join the blade of marmora. this decision was justified by the responses of the team and keith's insecurity in his position.
it's in episode 6 that things start to get worrying. when warned that another galra ship is coming, he brushes it of and is confident in victory, which is unlike his previously cautious nature. it then turns out that this ship is the one Haggar uses to trap voltron and create the bomb. unlucky? maybe
but then, once Haggar starts her mojo bs and the generators come out of the ground, Lance suggests that they get out of there--only to be stopped by Shiro, who wants to 'investigate'. this conveniently leaves voltron trapped inside the barrier and would have doomed them all.
we aren't given any confusing flashbacks, or strange looks, or glowing yellow eyes--but that doesn't mean he's who he say he is. i do still believe the shiro we see is a clone, but he is a subtle and clever one who uses his position and the teams' trust to do things that should have destroyed them.
