Starlite dreaming

After repeatedly reaching out to the mainstream media and asking them to continue covering her story, she is being ignored by them now. But remember: they were happy to use her when she was the hot story and good for ratings. Now they apparently cannot be bothered to interview her, or call out the injustice of her impending imprisonment. (#WhiteFeminism)

what shiro’s arc should’ve been about: recognizing that he is not broken because of his body or his illness or his modifications or his traumatic experiences. That being a real hero comes from being able to stay true to your inner goodness, fight for what is right, and to rebuild yourself again and again, convincing those around you to do the same and never give up. 

what lance’s arc should’ve been about: self confidence is made stronger by working through moments of self doubt. Without our insecurities, we wouldn’t be able to identify what makes us great in the first place. Our goals and our dreams are attainable as long as we are courageous enough to put in the work and try. We shouldn’t always look outward for the validation we deserve.

what keith’s arc should’ve been about: needing others is not a weakness, and losing people we care about doesn’t negate the value of forming close bonds with those around us. It is our relationships with others where we learn to accept and love ourselves. To love and be loved is a gift, and we can learn to navigate and lead others through those connections. 

what hunk’s arc should’ve been about: fear is a universal trait, and being afraid of something doesn’t mean you aren’t brave. There is more than one way to be heroic, and continually believing in the power of trying to see the good in the universe and connect with people is always worthwhile. We all have things in common, even our fears, and acknowledging that is a strength.
