it’s not much but my boy shiro is so lovely and I am so upset he was terminally ill and the man he loved and wanted to marry LEFT thank u lord for keith the goodest boy of all time sticking by to pick up those pieces
if you’re a sheith shipper and you want to think about the “i love you” line without also thinking about the “you’re my brother” line, that’s okay and ily. the brother line in no way should discourage you from shipping sheith, and it doesn’t devalue their relationship in any way, but it’s understandable if you feel uncomfortable about it for any reason, especially because it’s going to be considerable anti fodder until the s6 hype dies down.
if you’re a sheith shipper and you want to think about the “i love you” line in relation to the “you’re my brother” line, that’s also okay and ily too. the line is a testament to how close they are, and context matters. keith is telling shiro how much he values him in a moment where shiro is vulnerable and obviously not acting like himself. it’s objectively a beautiful moment. it’s the strongest and most explicit declaration of love in the entire series, and it’s even more powerful considering it comes from keith who tends to struggle with vocalizing his emotions.
at the end of the day, do whatever makes you the most comfortable, but keith loves shiro. that’s not up for debate in any way, shape, or form. it’s a good night for all of us sheith shippers thank you very much.
Happy birthday, Shiro!

I can’t stop looking at what Barlee posted
There is absolutely no innocence in this man’s character design

Lauren said!!!! In the AfterBuzz interview!! That Keith would have gone to space for shiro, because Shiro was his family. This is so soft, so pure. I love Lauren so much, she didn't have to add that!! Name me a purer ship then Sheith, Leo, I'll wait. Impossible.
I heard about this and I just went skimming through the episode to find and!!! It’s so sweet!! They were talking about how Keith told Pidge, “Everyone has families,” and the show runners didn’t have to mention Keith’s relationship with Shiro. But they did, so we get:
Lauren: “But he would have come out to space for Shiro, cause Shiro was his family.
Joaquim: “That is true.”
Lauren: “So he understands, I think, as much as [Pidge] does, about needing to ‘save that person in space.’” (source)
And like, this combined with “Shiro loves Keith” and the fact that he brought Keith to the Kerberos launch with him, like…what the hell was their backstory? How is it they grew so close, close enough to have found a home with one another? It’s just…this incredibly sweet thing. They both love each other very much and it warms my heard indefinitely,,
Anyway literally anytime Lauren or Joaquim bring up Keith and Shiro’s bond completely unprompted because they’re just that close in canon,, it’s fucking amazing,,
Shiro’s guiding light
