We Klance shippers have been saying how both Keith and Lance are holding hands in the recent Season 7 poster, correct? Can we turn away from that for now and appreciate hOW THE POSTERS PRACTICALLY SHOW HOW BOTH OF THEM SEE EACH OTHER?
Let me explain. In the first poster, we see Lance above Keith waving a flag of himself while Keith stares ahead of them and is slightly ahead of Lance.
As we could see, this basically shows us the beginning of their relationship. Lance thinks he’s better at Keith yet Keith just stares ahead and not caring about it.
By the second poster, however, we see Keith and Lance somewhat on equal ground but not quite.
We see Lance still a bit above Keith. Either it’s Lance seeing Keith as a some-what equal or it’s Keith rising himself up as he’s “A paladin of Voltron” and “The universe’s only hope”. Maybe even finally acknowledging Lance! They’re a bit closer now too. Possibly from how they’ve worked together with the Altean pool scene where the had to climb up a pipe and all that good stuff.
In the third poster, we finally see them on equal grounds. This time, however, Keith is behind Lance with Lance moving forward.
We see Keith in his Blade of Marmora suit. Piece the pieces together and we get an image of Keith pulling away from Voltron to let Lance keep the Red Lion and Allura the Blue Lion. Lance looks like he’s holding onto Allura as a friend or something like it. Why wouldn’t he? The person who he basically shared his insecurities with left the team. As somewhat of a self-defense mechanism, he went to the person who he thought he was falling for coming from the talk he had with the mice. How about the fact that they’re on equal grounds too? By Keith leaving Voltron, it basically shows that he’s acknowledging Lance from their talk in his room. With Lance sharing his insecurities about stepping down as a Paladin of Voltron to Keith, it’s natural to assume that they see each other in a friendly-rivalry sort of way.
Finally, in the fourth, we see them both in the same uniform, same equal grounds with both of them walking forward.
Both of them are in equal grounds this time with the both of them not trying to rush ahead of the other. This shows that they’re finally comfortable in where they stand as a part of Voltron. Not to mention how Keith looks so confident and how Lance looks so relaxed, as if he’s finally gotten what he wanted in his lifetime.
He basically did if you think about it. Coming home to Earth and finally reuniting with his family along with Keith staying as the head of Voltron, Lance is perfectly content in the place he’s in now.
They’re so close to each other now too. Much more closer than we have ever seen them in the previous posters. After all, Keith got his right hand man whom he trusts to ground him when his thoughts are getting the better of him and makes him act reckless during battle and Lance finally having the person whom he knows he can tell his i securities with stay along side him.
In conclusion, we have a chance for Klance becoming canon is Season 8! (I swear if it doesn’t become canon, I’ll lock myself in my room and cry myself to sleep for a couple few weeks oof)
