Kinda random, but the other day I was thinking about how “Shiro’s” vlog is supposed to be released next, and then I wondered if they were going to have a surprise vlog from someone else instead (like say Matt, since he’s there at this point) and delay us seeing “Shiro’s” blog. And then that night I had a dream where the vlog they released wasn’t Shiro’s. But it wasn’t Matt’s either…… The person who sat down for the vlog and started talking was Kolivan

ptw30: fenfishtrap:ptw30: I’d love to see a vlog from someone else, like Kolivan and/or Matt. That would be seriously awesome, and it would be great if leading up to Season 5 - we got a bunch of supporting character vlogs to learn more of their stories, and/or how they relate/interact to the paladins. (I would love …

That makes sense. It always confused me, because its also very common to pay lipservice to allura’s feelings by saying she had a right or was in the right or was logical to think all galra were evil and untrustworthy, but if they really thought it was similar to real life racism, why would they say that? thats the same logic used to mistreat japanese-americans in the 40s and middle easterners now. i assumed nobody would really want to justify that if they understood that would be the end result.

Yes, exactly. (As a whole, I’m not sure tumblr is a good place to find completely logical responses to issues of social justice and racism… People here have a tendency to fluctuate between pitchforks-and-torches mob mentality and “Wait, are you telling me that the things I’m saying are also racist? IMPOSSIBLE.”) But yeah, the logic …

Feel free to not answer if you don’t want to drag up this discussion again, but I was reading through your galra keith tag, and I have to say, I kind of thought most people had interpreted Keith finding out that he was part galra as analogous to finding out that he was part white, rather than nonwhite. Because there are a lot of things that have been said about keith and the galra that become REALLY racist if that’s not the case, and it stops being even slightly justifiable if it ever was. idgi.

Hi! This is a really interesting message so thanks for sending it to me. And… it may just be that I’m under-read in terms of other people’s analyses of the reveal, but I don’t feel like I personally ever saw anyone comparing Keith learning he was part Galra to someone learning they are part white …

preciouskogane:It would have been so nice for Matt to be something of a friend, even as a survivor buddy to Shiro. Shiro is so often placed on a pedestal of perfection and expected to exemplify the ‘perfect paladin’, he’s the leader and father figure of the teenagers and I feel like with Matt he could …
