Yes yes I LOVE angst !! Typically with a happy ending⦠almost every angsty things I think of/write has some sort of happy ending. I just think that even if the world can be cruel, itās more satisfying for everything a character has been through to pay off !
I donāt have a whole lot to yap about today! Just some touch ups! But yeah, the theme of people leaving Keith ⦠hence the abandonment issues ⦠I love making it strong. Of course starting with his mother ! As you said, he was probably told that she loved him and that she just had to leave. Doubt he believed that once he was an angry, grieving teen. Then his father left him, too. People keep leaving, and itās of course out of his control, but I feel like he definitely still finds a way to blame himself.
He was then of course put in foster care, which is its own whole thing of people giving him hope and then giving him up⦠but that does imply that there was nobody next of kin to take him in! Now I feel like his father reads as an only child? So I donāt think Keith would have any aunts or uncles, but I feel like heād obviously have grandparents. Iām thinking maybe one of them died, and the other was probably put in a nursing home, so really neither of them could take him in, but to him? That still probably felt like abandonment, and the pattern continuing. Especially if he believed his mom died. (And if there's a reason I'm still alive, when everyone who loves me has died⦠Iām willing to wait for it š„¹)
And yes Iāve seen Heath!! Itās def a better name and kinda cute cause ⦠Krolia ⦠Heath ⦠Keath ⦠their sonās name is practically their ship name !! But the only issue with Heath is that when I hear/see it I think of Heith š which donāt get me wrong ! As a multishipper I quite like Heith. Itās just a bit distracting and funny to think about !
Ooo! Yeah again to clarify I have nothing against Korean Keith headcanons !! I think theyāre fun, and again, I donāt think it entirely matters as long as heās being portrayed as Asian ! (Technically itās not canon so ig he could be a rouge white boy⦠but him being in the Dreamworks AAPI heritage month video ⦠again it just feels wrong to NOT have him be Asian at all)
And YES!! Broganes with Keith seeing Shiro as a father ⦠ough . The clothing detail is one of my favorite things . People with dead loved ones typically gravitate towards their clothes since they still smell like them and everything⦠so for Keith to be willing to give up his fatherās clothes for Shiro ⦠thatās so important to me . And yes!! Shiro listening to the same music as Keithās dad . I just think heād have a lot of similarities . He taught Keith cool risky tricks on a hovercraft thing ?? Similar vibes to my Keithās dad just giving him a gun . (You should 100% make that fanfic scene trust trustā¦)
I also definitely feel like Keith accidentally called Shiro ādadā at least once . And then got super embarrassed . I also love the idea that since the Garrison functioned somewhat like a normal school, they maybe had a home ec class where they made kids make Fatherās Day/Motherās Day cards for a grade ⦠and Keith made one for Shiro . He played it off as a āit doesnāt mean anything itās just bc I donāt have anybody and Iām being forced to do thisā but Shiro kept it and put it on the fridge in his apartment . Cried over it once maybe .
The lion thing reminds me of a post/fanart I saw once!! I tried to dig through my reposts for it but couldnāt find it š„¹ it was essentially the whole thing with Keithās dad dying to fire and Keith flying the lion linked to fire ⦠alongside another parallel with Keith flying the black lion, linked heavily to space more so than the other lions, which took Shiro from him twice ⦠ough . It was fire . (Literally. Haha . Sorry.)
I think thatās all? I have more for later!! But I just wanted to reply to everything you said !! I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my massive asks!! Seeing the true size of mine was ,, woah . I think this oneās shorter though!! Hopefullyā¦
Feel free to share some of your own hcs!! Also just a fun question I love asking people to get a gauge for personality and stuff⦠name your favorite vld characters ! Or sorta rank them in order even if youād like !

hiii. Same here, although I'm pretty sure most of my earliest writing and stories all had horrific endings. Uh. š.
