this is so funny omg, keith stans back at it again.
its just like, so funny when you ignore keith picking up fights with lance as well when he wasn’t even addressing him. like yes lance may have started it, but keith is just as guilty for continuing it (and again, even starting some fights himself). if keith was the “better person” or “the poor poor victim” he wouldn’t be reacting the way he does, so stop painting keith as some delicate flower, yall are disrespecting him.
Also I don’t even….. see the problem with half of these gifs like, in some of them lance is saying the hard truth and if keith stans cant handle it then too bad.
and all of these gifs are from like, s1 and s2 (except lance doubting keith being the BP). its not like we’re 5 seasons in with s6 about to drop out that had nothing of a development, not at all :O character growth? never heard of her
It’s 2018 and here we are, trying to put Keith’s behavior on
the same level as Lance’s.
You already derailed yourself when you said, “Lance may have
started it,” and there really is no way to come back from that. You cannot
compare someone’s defensive retorts to someone who genuinely means to attack
your character, you can’t expect Keith to have to put up with any of that and
not turn away from it and brush it off. Why are you expecting Keith to be the
better person when it’s Lance you should be telling this to? Be the better
person, you say? How about telling that to the person who has a serious issue
with you based on their own self-created notions toward someone they’ve never
met, have never talked to in their life, and is constantly using that as an excuse
to justify some of their harsh comments and unnecessary taunts to someone who
genuinely had no knowledge of that person existing? Expecting Keith to take all
of that and shrug it off when some of those comments are at a personal
level—calling someone a dropout, telling them that you’re in a better class
thanks to that person failing out? Telling someone that they’re power hungry
enough to use their dead best friend’s image when they’re obviously grieving
and hurting from it?
You’re gonna sit there and tell me that this is something
Keith fans need to hear? Reminding them that you’re constantly trying to
denigrate someone’s character in an effort to prove yourself better than them?
Trying to influence others to make them believe that Keith is an untrustworthy
and terrible person? You’re really defending someone who only has their own
best self-interest in mind and is trying to pin all the world’s wrongdoings on
another person because of their own need for glory, in Allura’s own words?
Why is it so hard for y’all to recognize that Lance and
Keith are not friends, and are, at the most, uneasy allies? Why is it so hard
for y’all to recognize that you don’t talk to someone like this, you don’t
remind your friends of their previous failings and shortcomings, you don’t tell
them that they’re untrustworthy and will make a mess of everything the moment
someone is thinking of choosing them over you? It’s not “hard truth,” it’s you
being a goddamn jealous bitter asshole who had no real investment on that
relationship. Lance’s grudging acceptance of Keith’s position because
circumstances have forced him to make this choice is not him wanting to support
Keith as the black paladin and leader, when Lance had been sitting in the black
lion for half an hour, hyping himself up to take the black lion, saying it was
his moments, it’s his ticket to fame and fortune?
Keith having egged Lance on pales to the amount of times
that Lance has deliberately tried to pick a fight with Keith, trying every
opportunity to inject how he’s better than Keith into moments that don’t call
for it. It’s Lance’s own insecurity and jealousy over the things that he wants
but sees Keith having that he’s upset about.
Yes, a lot of this is from S1 – S3, and there were scenes I
could have chosen from S4, still some from S1, but it seems as though so many
of these scenes have flown over your head cause all you’re seeing is someone
pointing out vicious and toxic behavior as someone trying to lander your fave.
The amount of people crying about this gifset are all trying to bring up
Keith’s behavior, are trying to derail and act as though Keith is the one at
fault for Lance’s constant attacks, for him existing is the reason why Lance is
that way and it’s not Lance’s fault. It’s also funny how Lance claims Keith to
be the hothead when it’s Lance who has the most emotional POV and reaction in
the show. Is that a bad thing? No, it gives insight about how Lance is feeling
and what he’s thinking. He’s the one who blows up at Keith, he’s the one who
tries to get into Shiro’s face and yell at Shiro about him choosing Keith, it’s
Lance who demands that he’s gonna save Shiro, it’s Lance who’s reacting to everything
with emotion.
Also, you can’t call Lance and Keith not interacting for two
whole seasons as character development. What’s the character development for if
there’s nothing happening for it to take place? Grudging acceptance is not the
same as accepting something out of freewill if the circumstance didn’t call for
it by force.
Again, I still keep coming back to you saying it’s Keith’s
fault for responding to someone who is trying to slander his character, someone
who spends their time together trying to make you look like an idiot and a
fool. It’s Lance who should have swallowed his pride, Keith shouldn’t be blamed
for trying to defend himself or getting upset because of Lance’s words.
Nice try to put the blame on Keith and not acknowledging
where the blame truly lies.
