Eh, don't ship Keith and Lance, but... they don't hate each other. It's the typical belligerent sexual tension (as opposed to foe yay). They're absolutely intended to be eventual friends. Like, I absolutely can't stand rivalslash (just personal preference), but I'm just kind of neutral on them. I can see the appeal, but I think I'm just not interested enough in either character.

Where was it implied characters were getting LIs in S2?

I'm not a fan of trans boy Pidge for my own reasons (prob because... there's only two major girls in the cast as is???). I don't understand why there aren't more trans headcanons for the boys of the cast.

I don't ship anyone though. I just want some femslash options in S2 for Allura, dammit.
