Okay so while it’s always fun to see posts about lance being a walking talking shitpost
I feel like there isn’t enough genuine love for him as a character
so here is the lance appreciation post
™
If lance and keith were “neck and neck” with keith being the top student, that means lance is fucking smartokay
i’ve seen a lot of people make posts about lance being dense or making fun of pidge for being a nerd and it confuses me because this boy is canonically smart as hell
also look how quick he is to draw mr.assholes attention to HIMSELF so pidge doesn’t get in trouble
and he’s the one who takes the scolding so that pidge doesn’t have to i’m… hes an amazing friend
back to lance being smart as hell
while he may not work well in the simulator with other people, this boi got the hang of piloting a technologically advanced magical flying lion spaceship in minutes
don’t even get me started on how this boy is CLEARLY sad and missing home yet he puts on a brave face and cracks jokes trying to make other people happy or at least distract them from missing home I mean look at this child
and it seems he has a lot of family to miss, assuming that these people in his shared memory are his family
this boy has emotional baggage that he deals with all alone i’m dying
now let’s talk about his protective instincts because like
do not fuck with the people he cares about
in “crystal venom” we see lance literally terrified because the castle has already tried to kill him once, but as soon as he thinks that one of his friends (coran) is in danger?? What fear? He runs into an airlock without a second thought because he wants to help his friend and almost dies because of it.
And in
“
The Fall of the Castle of Lions”
He sees a very obviously deadly bomb about to go ff and what does he do? Forget running he throws himself over coran like a human shield
AND THEN
THIS BOY RISES OUT OF A C O M A
AND SHOOTS AN ALIENS ARM OFF BECAUSE HE’S HURTING ONE OF HIS FRIENDS
#lethimrest
TO BREAK IT ALL DOWN:
Lance is smart, brave, talented, and Strong as hell
he is so much more than comic relief y’all
feel free to add onto this I cranked this out in ike 5 minutes i’m sure i’ve missed stuff
