I Only Know One Truth: Antis Must End

So after Allura’s sacrifice, the Paladins start falling into their niches and Lance is…struggling.

He didn’t think he’d stop being a paladin? That the term would become more of an honorary title instead of a full time job? He thought that maybe after everything was over, he’d settle down with Allura and maybe do the house husband thing while she rocks the universe in one way or another?

Lance could have been the best house husband.

Instead he flounders. He maybe tries to do something with the Garrison. Maybe starts training the next generation of fighter pilots. Iverson gets a kick out of it. But Lance is a damn good teacher, super supportive and patient too.

He also visits his friends. A lot.

He visits Conan. Did you know if Allura had lived, he could have been the Royal Consort? Weird, huh?

He bothers Pidge in the labs. He visits the Atlas to see his sister, Hunk and Shiro. He bugs and teases Keith whenever he can pin down the location of the Blades of Mamora.

“Hey Emperor-Not-Emperor Keith!”

“I swear Lance if that name catches on, I’ll stab you.”

It catches on.

Seeing his friends is good. Lance finds out something important though…they’re struggling too.

Hunk and Shiro are struggling keeping the crew of the Atlas fed on a long time basis. As well as serving banquet after banquet to mediate between warring planets.

Keith wants to use the Blades as a relief operation but the stigma against Galra is brutal. Few will trade or donate supplies to the cause. Especially food. The Blades are strong, the Blades can fight, the Blades can’t stop one child from starving.

So Lance does what he always does. He steps up. He becomes what people need.

He gets the most stupid and brilliant idea in the dead of night.

He first goes to Pidge.

“You want to become…a farmer.”

“Yes, Pidge.”

“A farmer. Really.”

“Yes, really!”

“Do you have any idea what you’re doing?”

“I have no idea what I’m doing. That’s why I need you.”

So Pidge and her mom set Lance up with all the fancy agricultural equipment and know-how a budding novice could want. Miraculously, despite Lance absolutely wringing it, and with dubious leftover altean magic—

“I KNEW these glowing marks were for something!”

—Lance’s crops grow beautifully. It’s a large endeavor and Lance nails it. Therefore he becomes primary food supplier of the Atlas and the Blades of Mamora.

Hunk bakes him cakes for a month when it becomes official.

He also becomes a cargo pilot to deliver said supplies. He loves it. Especially when he still gets to pull some sweet moves now and then in Blue or Red (Because having the lions randomly disappear for no reason is a stupid turn of events and canon can bite my—plus Lance has and can fly both. It’s bible truth) because of you know…pirates.

Pirates, warlords and thugs that pop out of every asteroid for a piece of his crops.

The call of free food is strong.

Lance is able to outmaneuver every single one.

Allura also rebounded to Lance accepted Lance’s feelings a month and days after Lotor’s demise

Y’all ever flex on the fact that many Kl0nce fans like OP here talk shit about Allurance being a garbage ship daily and how Kl0nce has so much evidence and chemistry in comparison yet have to rely on scenes from S1 and S2 and take a scene out of context to dismiss Allurance while at the same time, have to steal and use scenes from “shitty” Allurance and other ships for fan content because their precious Kl0nce doesn’t have much canonical basis and chemistry? And then have the nerve to gush over said Kl0nce “fanworks”?

Y’all ever flex on the fact that so many Kl0nce stans like OP here claim to be feminists yet accuse Allura of emotionally using her friend, talk like scandalized Victorians because Allura kissed Lotor first, therefore Allura must stay with him for ever and ever even in the wake of him lying behind her back, using her people like batteries, and trying to kill her twice and if she dared to move on, any man she dates is going to look awful for dating “ruined goods”? 

In both instances, their past relationships (all nine months between the both couples ;) ) had fuck all to do with how they work now.

You lot claim to love her and are upset by this rubbish ending we got for her, yet so many can’t seem to accept that she chose Lance and didn’t just go to him because he was there. Look, between the end of S6 and the beginning of season 8 was on the short side a year, at least. She’s been shown over and over to put the needs of the many above her own wants, of course she hasn’t thought much about dating since Earth! I like Lotura and not even I think even that had to remain some deep love for the ages to be valid (…in another lifetime, though :( )
