things that lance has done that are impressive bc im sick of people putting him down for comic relief:
- is smart enough to get into the best space exploration program on earth. Did you see how small his class for the simulator his total class is probably like 100 kids Lance is smart
- Worked to include Pidge in his and Hunk’s friend group even after getting turned down since day 1?? Also he covered for Pidge when she was about to yell at a teacher
- Was chosen by the blue lion over the others (two geniuses, a great leader and pilot, and the most talented pilot in his class)
- Flew alien technology?? The first human besides Shiro + the first to ever pilot a lion he’s so impressive!!!!
- Realized that “Rover” wasn’t Rover in no time Coran is a grown man and soldier and didn’t even notice okay
- SAVED CORANS LIFE like he was willing to die for this man he barely knows because he’s the best person ever
- Fought through his injuries to shoot Sendak and helped in the fight even though he was literally dying like holy shit
- Lance is level-headed and smart and figured out how to protect the Balmera AND immobilize the ships in no time at all.
- Figured out a way to take down those Galra sentries? He noticed the overhead posts BEFORE Keith did he’s so smart I’m so proud of him.
Stop hating on Lance for doing what normal kids do he’s only like 16/17 probably stop reducing him to nothing he’s a smart and resourceful guy

i don’t like kids.
in general, i suppose. i’m not very fond of little kids. i don’t want them. they give me headaches and i cannot deal with their antics.
HOWEVER
you know what i do when kids talk to me? i smile. i answer them. i tell them their scribbles look really good. i open their juice boxes for them and ask to hear more about their power rangers.
because although i may not be fond of children, i was one. i remember being a kid and how much sour adults impacted my life even today. so when a child who is screaming and crying with a runny nose walks past me, i put on my smiling face and ask them what’s wrong instead of rolling my eyes.
because that’s what you do. you tolerate children even if you tend to dislike them. because kids are so impressionable and remember everything. i cannot bring myself to enjoy being around children. but that doesn’t mean i let them know.
I never thought of it that way…
Woah.
I always get the ‘I thought you hated kids’ when people see me being nice and talking to littlies and all I respond is ‘sure, I’m not a fan of kids and I’m not really planning on having any, but I’m not a complete asshole’
Don’t be a dick to kids, it’s super uncool.
and if you see a baby smiling at you please for the love of fuck smile back. you smiling back allows babies to develop an awareness of their impact on other people and how their emotional expression impacts others – basically their social abilities. when you smile back, the baby’s brain registers ‘i expressed a positive emotion and this caused the other person to express that same positive emotion’.
the gorilla could have died and been done with in like a week but none of you know how to be normal
