Ok so I’ve been playing for 18 years and i’m a string teacher. Can i just say how IMPORTANT it is for young kids to see a BLACK, MALE-PRESENTING PERSON playing, nae, SHREDDING on a violin? I’ve know maybe 5 black people who played stringed instruments throughout my schooling and teaching (predumably because i’m an upper middle class white woman). In districts where the population is predominantly black, funding is always low, so the instruments are crappy. Kids quit, or the program is dismantled. I’ve seen very few professional string players who are black.
Obviously there are black string players. We just don’t see them because they “don’t look like” string players.
This person is the real deal. They were clearly trained, and seems to have some fiddle training as well. How cool is that?

I know Season 7 upset a lot of people (including myself) but don’t worry fandom, I got you covered.xP
But seriously, this is stupid and silly and done in 3 days, but I hope it manages to make some fans laugh.xD Just needed to get this out of my system before I move on to some actual work.
Everything about Veronica?? She’s so cool I’m so happy she had a prominent role. Also the fact that she was a Garrison officer makes me think Lance looked up to her and followed in her footsteps by enrolling, which is very sweet ❤
That good good proctective!team content when Pidge was threatened and Lance threw himself at Ezor with bared teeth omggg
Kosmo: *teleports Pidge and Keith away* Allura to Griffin: …. it’s a cosmic wolf……
Callback to Lance and Keith’s Balmera mission but with Pidge, and this time Keith understood the crazy hand signals. Ultimate character development.
Allura giving up her crown for Shiro…. beautiful. And everything about Shiro being able to control the Atlas omg that was so cool!! And I’m so proud of him for making the thickest robot like damn agdsfjdg
Keith furiously pointing to his blade during The Feud trying to prompt Antok’s name. Lance answering with “Blade…y? Bladey!”
That cool as hell moment when they were trying to get their bayards back from Ezor and Zethrid and Keith summoned his from a room away and then single-handedly took out the guards. Nice.
That Black Paladin Keith/Right-hand man Lance dynamic I’ve been craving. Keith confidently putting the team in Lance’s hands and trusting him to have their backs. nice nice nice nice.
I had issues with the episode but honestly some of that emotional conflict in ep.6 was stuff I was just really hoping would come to surface but never actually expected to be addressed. It was cathartic and I’m sure I’ll like the episode more once I rewatch it.
wtf is up with Shiro/Sendak fight scenes being so beautifully animated. Stunning visuals that really capture how damn brutal the fight was yikes.
Literally everything about Hunk. Hunk and Keith friendship. The hug. Hunk is a good boy I love him.
