Brave Enough (Shidge Animatic)

A girl can dream. Season 3, Shiro is missing and Pidge tries to look like everything is alright and not think too much
-
GUYS IT'S FREAKING HERE! A month of everyday work, me losing my stylus me having a chill and finally me putting all my love and effort and gratitude I have for these two. Thanks everyone for supporting me ♥️

Also yes, I know he had a boyfriend and I respect that, it’s just an AU and the writers let to hc his sexuality however we want. My animatic doesn’t mean to erase his sexuality at any point. Thank you!

You know its a really good animatic when people who don't even ship them was moved.

This is such a perfect unrequited love point of view. A lot of people seem to forget its extremely normal for teenagers to crush on people 10+ yrs their age! Those crushes are normal! She's being a normal teenager, just wanting a happy life. Shiro doesnt return the feelings obviously so she had to deal with the fact hes missing, that she never said anything and the fact she probably knows her feelings wouldnt be reciprocated.

Someone needs to say this:
If you want yourself to remember it be happy, then stop the video at 3.51. Stop it immidiatelly as it comes at this point. Because there is a 100% chance that it will tear yor heart. You will remember those two being happy together.
But if you want yourself to MAKE it be happy, then don't stop the video. Watch it up to the end. Yes, it's painful. That's why now you are brave enough to love, no matter what you've thought about yourself before reading this comment. Right after the video finished, you are brave enough. Because now you know exactly how painful it is only to see a love-story end so sad. Hey, you. Do you want to let your own love-story end like this? No. No, you don't want such a sad end for yourself. That's why you will tell him, her or them, or whomever you want to tell it, that you love this person. Go on.

I love that she pretty much gets bex’s hairstyle at one point

[silverr-is-me]

Pidge's new haircut is a blessed concept

[mildpanic]

Honestly, I respect all voltron ships, even if I don’t ship them myself. Although I don’t personally ship Shidge, this animatic moved me. It’s very well made, and I applaud your dedication. Great job!

Not gonna lie. *LOVED* how you had their honeymoon basically being going from one planet to another enjoying the universe in ways they couldn't while the war was going on. Right in the heart, beautiful and 10/10 like fucking hell man, amazing job

[dionysus]

I love shidge as an age-up sort of concept

Cause their relationship as a sort of “I look up to you, let’s go find my family” thing was really clicking for me

[ziawinterwonderland]

I like how they added a sprinkle of klance

The difference between my mother and my father was 17 years. He was older than her.
And they were the most beautiful couple imaginable. He met her when she was sixteen. Time passed, and then they fell in love. And everything was wonderful.

The only bad thing about these couples is that one dies before the other. My father died last year.
That was the only sadness.
They were always happy.

Always.

**STARTS SOBBING**

I don’t ship Shidge but this was absolutely beautiful. Stunning. One of my favorite animatics yet.

[aylliumu]

As a multishipper, I’ve been looking for some Shidge content and...omg im in tears that wAS BEAUTIFUL

[noeliagutierrez]

Ever since my sister pointed out that there are many adults who are actually really short naturally, and also teenagers that look really developed and older, I can't help but ship shidge. I feel like there is a possibility that their age gap is not as wide as people think it is. I wish I was brave enough to not closet ship them 😭

Okay, i know this animatic has been out for a while now, but i keep seeing mentions of how this animatic displays pedophilia, but that's not at all what this is showing, at least not from what i've seen.

*// warning: If you are uneasy about mentions of pedophilia and/or dont like long and wordy explinations please do not read this comment further. Thank you. //*

The act of pedophilia is when an adult attempts to engage is sexual activities, or is sexually attracted, to a minor(s). Through out this whole animatic Shiro doesn't show sexual interest at all (at least from what i've seen, and i've watched this several times over in depth), and only shows romantic interest AFTER Pidge turned (at the very least) twenty-two (time stamp at 3:16) shown by when Shiro gives her a birthday cupcake that has the wax number candles stabbed into the top of the cake, later being followed up with Pidge making a cake for Shiro's birthday with a joke number of 8, as Shiro had been in the clone body and was fully himself and out of Galra control for 8 years, but is still in his 20's-30's mentally, emotionally, and so on. I assume a few more years pass before the wedding scene occurs, in which both are legal adults. Pidge showed attraction when she was young, not Shiro, which can also be a slight side affect to the fact (as it's a running joke through the fandom it seems) Shiro acts like a fatherly figure for the whole team, and since Pidge's father is in Galra hands for a majority of the first 2-3 seasons she could be looking to Shiro for guidance and assistance like we see other team members do (primarily Keith, from what i've seen in the show).
If this WAS pedophilia then after Pidge was legal then Shiro would've lost interest, as most Pedos do (which is why they usually have multiple victims rather than a single one). That's why they're Pedos, as they're attracted to MINORS and NOT adults.



Thanks for coming to my rant/ted talk/what ever the quiznac you wanna call this. Just bugged me that people where throwing around pedophilia without seeming to understand the definition properly.

To all those persons that liked someone but fear made us stand back because we thought we weren't good enough, I wish we can be brave enough to love them...

Thank God and Slav and the VLD creators who made Alternative Realities Canons

[rfuvgud]

No matter how many times I watch this, it still tugs at my heartstrings. I could watch this forever and find new things every time
