i can see your huge love for Lance/Nights xD

i already said that i don’t ship it, but i do think they could become a cute couple under right circumstances. i also would like to see aus where Lance is jealous (even though it’s bad, poor guy has lots of mixed feelings canonically)

so here’s a sketch for you, hope you like it :D

I've been dabbling in this ship a bit more recently! I also ship Reala with Balan a lot, so I've been having fun finding all the different angles and differences each ship would have! I think LiGHTS shipping (Lance/NiGHTS) has the potential for some insanely sweet and healing aspects, I know they would make me cry in the best way

With Lance and shipping of any capacity, I see it as something that needs to be cultivated over a long period of time. Lance doesn't fall in love hard or fast, they're extremely closed off and guard themselves with everything they have (they're much like Reala in this sense). I think it's something that has to build up over time, and maybe they don't even realise what they're feeling after a while is beyond friendship. They're used to negative emotions and dealing with them day in and day out, so to suddenly... Like someone?? Crush on someone?? What is this nonsense, why does it feel so weird but also kinda nice. Plus, I'm sure they would eventually ask Balan about it at which point he would chuckle like "Oh honey, you have a crush!"

Some headcanon for LiGHTS shipping:

- NiGHTS being one of the first people to ever not shy away from Negati, even go as far as to think they're cute! I think that would be a monumental thing for Lance and immediately make them trust NiGHTS like 100% more. Even the big scary ones hardly seem to phase the Nightmaren, NiGHTS instead just laughing and thinking they're adorable.

- A lot of deep, emotional talks once they're both out of their shell. I feel (in my timeline anyway) that NiGHTS would be visiting the theatre regularly for therapy, so it would be natural that Lance would ask how their sessions went. Maybe they'd hang out after each session, and soon NiGHTS would swing by to hang out even if they didn't have an appointment that day.

- Lance showing NiGHTS all the secret passageways in the theatre, and the "backstage" jobs that keep the theatre running which Lance is in charge of. NiGHTS, having never experienced a lot of theatre stuff, being completely WOWED by even the smallest of jobs. Telling Lance about how their role is so important, how it's so cool! And Lance being, well, floored that someone would take such an interest in their work. They aren't used to getting praise.

- So much napping together, and falling asleep in the same area. Lance constantly keeping themselves awake just to savour the sensation of a warm body beside them, actually choosing to be there with them. And being comfortable enough to fall asleep around them. Even eventually being able to sleep around NiGHTS too, allowing someone to be near them in such a vulnerable state.

Hope you all have a beautiful and wonderful Valentine’s Day! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🖤🩶🤍🤎❤️‍🔥❤️‍🩹❣️💕💞💓💗💖💘💝🥰😊
