you know it just occurred to me like….if pidge was at the kerberos launch and keith was too …. shouldn’t they have met each other?? and yet in s1e1 pidge is like “who’s keith???” dreamworks explain…
keith was in the bathroom
keith: uh hey i gotta run to the bathroom real quick, don’t leave before i get back ok bro? shiro: lol k
*two minutes later*
keith: [walks out of the bathroom and sees the rocket ship blasting off into the sky] DAMMIT SHIRO
*meanwhile, inside the rocket*
shiro: huh i feel like i’m forgetting something…..WAIT SHIT-
the first thing Keith ever said to make fun of Lance was “we could toss out some non-essential weight” but now he thinks of Lance as so vital to the team that he never even CONSIDERED taking the Red Lion back from him, and wanting to keep Lance as a part of Voltron actually contrbuted to his decision to leave the team.
