Brave Enough (Shidge Animatic) 

I love how Keith catches the flowers lolz. 😂

Pidge's new haircut is a blessed concept

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.

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

I like how they added a sprinkle of klance

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

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

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...

HAHAHAH I DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT IM NOt CRYING HAHAHAHA-- **STARTS SOBBING**

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 😭

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

THE WEDDING SCENE, HER HAIR, MY HEART 💜❤

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

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.

Oh my gosh this is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen! I loved how you portrayed the AU versus the canon universe, almost like it was Pidge’s hopes and dreams versus reality. You are so very talented. I cried so much!

Ok, I don't shop shidge but you're animation skills are fantastic

That moment when keith gets the flowers and Lance faces lol this is so cute❤ I love your art style❤❤❤❤😍

It's still as beautiful as ever. I still love it as much as when I first watched it all those years ago. Can't believe it's been so long since the end of Voltron as well. Damn, the feels are returning whenever this video pops up on my homepage again. You're truly incredible and deserves so much more love for this breath taking animation

Oh god, this video is so beautiful, the meaning behind it and Pidge’s emotions shown through her dreams her wishes are so pretty. All of her desires to be with her family and to have a happy life in the end is heartbreaking. Especially the wedding scene and they travel together. And then the hesitation when she want to confront Shiro about her emotions and Pidge chose not to. Your hard works are so wonderful, thank you for making this!💖

I just cried. I love Pidge so much This Is So Beautiful

3 years later and it’s still my favorite animatic

I mean, who cares whether you support the ship when the art is this good. Killer job!

Has more chemistry than allurance

This makes me wanna watch the first few seasons of voltron. Just because it was a simpler time and much better time tbh☕🍵

I think I started to ship them only because of this gorgeous animatic т-т💜

It's been two years and yet I still get goosebumps during the instrumental scene...

i don't ship it *but this is beautiful.* edit: *I LIED NOW I SHIP IT HELP*

I’m not a big fan of Shidge but I think this is adorable especially how you predicted the future for the both of them 💚🖤

So. SO. It's been at least one month since I discovered both Fate221 and this animatic. And I STILL almost don't know what to say. But I'm gonna try. Fate, your art? IS THE BEST!!! Seriously, your art of Shidge really picked me up and gave me hope that people hadn't abandoned the ship, _even after s7, s8, and the end of the show._ Your art style is gorgeous and it gives me LIFE! And this animatic, oh my gosh... tore my heart out. But in a good way? You inspired me to keep on shipping! Because as Slav would remind us, there are plenty of alternate universes, and Shidge has to be real in some of them. (Also, kudos for including Slav not once but TWICE in this animatic. He's the ultimate Shidge stan, I think he's my spirit animal or something.) I like your take on the ship, you've really gotten me to think about them more, and honestly? I'm in love with the super-long slow burn up to Pidge's adult years. Adorable. Shidge is the best. I love you for this, and for the rest of your art. (-My favorite is the 60 years piece from the birthday series-) Anyway. Love you Fate. Bless. Thanks for this masterpiece that I stayed up till like 11 (late for me!) to watch and then cry over. LONG LIVE SHIDGE!! Edit: Hey so I'm watching it again and I'm gonna cry pls help 2nd edit: I had my "You'll Fall In Love" playlist on shuffle, and I wasn't ready for those first two notes to trigger such a bittersweet reaction. Again, truly a masterpiece. That is all.

Can we talk about this awesome-pretty-incredible transition at 3:25 - 3:28? This is outstanding!! Thank u so much for this piece of art :'D

My. Heart. Hurts. And. My. Eyes. Are. Leaking.

i used to ship shidge around the season 2 drop, before i learned their ages. i don’t ship them anymore, but i like the idea that pidge had a crush on shiro. this is super duper amazing btw!

So uhh, I found this a year ago and I've watched it for 3 months almost every day. I thought everyone put a comment down about how beautiful it was and how people didn't ship them but it was still moving. (Which I agree with) I put off watching season 8 and stuck with the fandom. I just finished season 8 after my procrastination and I decide to watch this again when it popped up on my most-watched list. I cannot tell you how beautiful it was to watch it a second time even though I know it was coming. You did an absolutely lovely job. I like how your art style is not super precise or over glowed but stuck to your basic colors which worked well and didn't take away from what was actually happening, making it seem more down to earth type. I wasn't going to say anything because everyone took the words out of my mouth. But I thought I should say even after a year I still love this. Also, WHAT HAPPENED WITH ADAM!! They betrayed us...

I really love how the romantic things was drawn when Pidge was an Adult. Because one of the main reasons I don't ship Shidge is the age difference like at the time of the show Pidge was like 14 and Shiro was about 24 so i'm really happy about that. ALSO ALSO THE ART IS JUST MAJESTIC AND GORGEOUS OMG.

I dont ships this in a mutual way but tye thought that Pidge had a one sided crush in him is a charming idea and i find that adorable, but overall this animatic was stunning

OKAY IVE GONE FROM ALLURANCE TO KLANCE TO PLANCE TO SHIDGE HOW DID THIS HAPPEN I KNOW I WATCH TO MANY ANIMATIONS by the way this is lovely and made my heart melt thank you so much for making this I love it

I’m....I’m not crying! My eyes are just making a tiny waterfall....... Beautiful animatic, my multishipper heart cant take how amazing this is 😅👏🏻💚🖤

Even 5 years later this is still so good ah 😭😭😭

🌑Let’s just forget that shiro is gay for about 4 minutes and enjoy THIS WONDERFUL MASTERPIECE! 🌸

I see them as a platonic relationship (Daughter and father) but this is so beautiful ;w;

I’m always blown away at how good the animation is on this!!!!

I can flippin recognise that perfect violin everywhere! Personally, havent seen Voltron, but the art style, the emotions, and the perfect choice for the track. This a beautiful piece of work, thank you.

Absolutely stunning!!! God I wish that if there are truly any alternate universes out there, theres at least ONE in which i have as much talent in my pinky finger as you have in your entire glorious body / mind. I legit cried while watching this. It was just too good!!!

Unlike allurance, this ship is more than just their love for eachother. It's the support and life they built on eachother, they helped eachother become who they were today while still having so many other futures and choices, allurance is purely driven on the fact lance wants to date her. His act started to only become based on his love for allura, like in the scene where all the paladins meet their older selves, lance just gets a congrats on dating allura, whilst all the other paladins seem to find their other half of themselves. It's so dumb. Even Keith, not even getting that pep talk, still saw change in himself as a leader when he realized zarkon was changed, zarkon wasnt ever bad, he was corrupted and allura blamed the corruptions and all the things he did on himself. After this there was zero mention of it and it could have been a good focus point to bring the paladins together, and make their bond strong. Tbh pidge was the only one that got good redemption in the show.

This animatic is the reason I finished voltron , it might sound stupid but I so badly wanted to watch this animatic and understand it that after I finished it a few days ago I remembered the reason I watched it in the first place, And so here I am searching this up and being utterly moved. Such beautiful art and a ship that I never even considered.

My ship pref. shifted to shidge, dis is beautiful

IM CRY8ING THIS ART HAS BLESSED MEH omfg that ending RUINED me. The fact that Pidge has a one-sided crush that she's reluctant to even accept/pursue is heartwrenching.

The great thing about this is that people who don’t even ship it can love this! The art is so beautiful and the editing and pacing is so well done. I personally don’t ship it, but I find this a work of art!

Back again after 4 years because I’ve never felt the same after watching this and it will forever be stuck in my Mind. This is one of the most beautiful and heart wrenching animations I’ve watched

Anyone ...whose still watching this in 2019???August..October...November..December??? I love this mv so much ... This mv gives me strength to get away from the fearness i always feel, when i see him..

I'M CRYING REAL TEARS, THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, AND THE LAST PART MADE MY CHEST PHYSICALLY HURT

Oh my goodness. I am really shaking, my heart is racing! I love this to bits, so much! Shidge was my first ship and still is and you brought all the moments to life! I am so proud of you and this animatic. Like you are truly an inspiration to me! I want you to know that every second was thrilling and beautiful, it went so well with the music as well! You made all my shidge dreams come true! Thank you!!!

Congratulations for your work!❤️❤️❤️ It’s clearly that you’ve spent a certain amount of time for this and it turned out more than amazing!💖Just please continue to create, you’re too awesome!👏🏻

This brought me to tears. I do not ship this, but the song and your animatic style and the color usage can make anyone cry about how beautiful this really is.

Oh shizzles now I ship it! First Plance, now Shidge! Guys, stop making me ship things with beautiful animatics! No seriously, this animatic is lovely! Amazing job! Keep up the good work!❤

This animatic was better than season 7 and 8. This is perfect This is gold 👌

I love that you gave her a full pixie cut!! I had to go check if that was canon "future" Pidge because I love it so

You sent me to tears, it really shows that you put effort into this and the result was beautiful

Uhm no... are you kidding me? It’s not funny playing around with someone’s emotions at oNE IN THE MORNING. I NOW SHIP SHIDGE, MY GRADES ARE UP, MY SKIN IS CLEAR. SHIDGE? YES EMOTIONS? WRECKED SHIPS? WHO HOTEL? TRIVAGO

...is... is that me?

Pidge with a pixie cut is all I need, and I never even knew I needed it.

... Pidge looks so gorgeous when she's older ... and with her hair ... This is such a well-made animatic. I love it so much. It relieves my nostalgia from when I used to ship Shidge. The art itself is beautiful as well.

I can feel the power of this song and animation

The song: ok Song+animatic: Best Thing Ive Seen

They are so GORGEOUS and POWERFUL I LOVE THEM 😭❤️, and your art OMG, SO BEAUTIFUL you should do more animatics of these two like this

The artistry on this is AMAZING it was so detailed and carefully drawn. I love the scenes that you redrew from the show! Spectacular!

Personally I think that Pidge and shiro are more like father and daughter or something like that, but this is amazing! I love the art and the way you animated it, especially the really short, fast moving clips. Good luck in your future art!💜

Wow, this was really well made. The number of different locations, the use of perspective and backgrounds like wow! Really inspiring. I've never shipped these characters but I enjoyed looking at their relationship through your eyes. I cheered when the wedding happened! Which brings me to my final point, HOW COULD YOU BE SO CRUEL TO MAKE SOMETHING SO BEAUTIFUL AND THEN JUST DENY US LIKE THAT/ you had me all the way roped into it and then BAM none of it happened like wow okay. Anyways kudos

I've probably watched this ten times already and I'm not stopping anytime soon. This looks like so much work was put into it and I really appreciate you putting so much love into this because it turned out truly amazing and enjoyable to watch! I'd love to see more from you!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I'M CRYING-- YOU ARE SO TALENTED SKSKKSSKKDDKJSK

~ VOLTRON SHIPPING TIMELINE ~ Beginning Me: hmmmm....I guess Pidge and Shiro are a good ship Near Beginning Me: Allurance is okay Middle Me: OH MAH GOSH Shiro is HAWT! No one touch my cinnamonroll!!!! Near End Me: KLANCE! KLANCE! KLANCE! End Me:.... KLANCE! KLANCE! KLANCE! Edit: omg looking back on this is making me happyyyy, also thx for the likes ahhhh!!

tHE QUICKNESS WITH WHICH PIDGE HIDES THE DRAWING AHH

This is so well made and executed that it’s nearly impossible not to shop them

This one video has made me reconsider my old opinions on Shidge, I love it. Good job!

I don't know of this anime or whatever, but I watched this, went "ok", and left. *and then I came back because the plot haunted me in my dreams, in the shower, whenever this song played, in every waking moment* and I came back just to curse this creator a blessed life because this was a job done hauntingly good!

This warms my soul, this is so beautiful. And there are so many frames, thank you for so much work! Season 8 ruined a lot, but at least we can say there are multiple realities which means every ship is canon in their own reality!!! So I will strongly believe that in one of those everything happened just as in this animatic, with marriage and awesome space adventures. Thank you so much!!! 😍😭💕💞❤️✨✨✨

All of this is so beautiful - that one dark image of the evil Shiro clone gives me chills each time. Stunning.

This was such an amazing and moving animatic I can’t get over how well done this was!! I can’t imagine how long this took dude, good freaking job, the effort shows

I'm gonna say this, I don't ship Shidge. The age gap of twenty five and fourteen really bugs me. But I won't hate on it. Now let's get this, animation? Beautiful. Song choice? Perfection. Character designs? Amazing. This was beautiful and amazing and hope to see more work from you. Edit: OHSWEETJESUS-

HOW DARE YOU END IT LIKE THAT OHMYGOD ;;;;; this was so beautiful. Proud multishipper sounding off-

I don’t ship this, but I’m impressed This 4 and a half animatic, with no words spoken other than the song, made a single person managed to build up a believable relation ship than the show its base on *cough, cough* allurance

I didn’t ship Shidge before this animatic, now I do

I've shipped pairings that were 10 years apart before (reylo) so when I shipped shidge I shipped it in a future sense; however, this is a very beautiful and sad animation! It reminds me of when I shipped it at the beginning of the show 😍💕

Don't ship it but my eyes have suddenly turned into waterfalls

So beautiful.. i actually cried in the end.. amazing job!

Oh my God this was amazing, and so well made too!

i don't personally ship them but this was goood

I DON'T EVEN SHIP HOLY SHIT THIS IS INSANE! :D

This still makes me cry and gives me the twist of pain in my heart and stomach. This is beautifully sad. It is so well done that every time I see it, I experience the same emotional reaction. Poor Pidge deserves to love.

Damnnnnnn that made my emotional! Great work ,I really loved your art !!

omG THISS IS SO BEAUTIFUL, I'M ACTUALLY CRYING, YOU DID IT AMAZING AAAAAAAAA thank you for bless the shidge fandom with this piece of art

Plance shipper(me): PLANCE COULDVE BEEN CANON!! (Me): *sees video in the recommendations* what’s this? (Me): *clicks* (Me): *Fangirls* (Also me): WHY CANT PIDGE BE HAPPY?!

Uh??? Oh my gosh?? You are so freaking talented it should be illegal. I absolutely love your art and your mind. This is so cool.

This is really well matched - the music and animations fit together seamlessly. You have a really good understanding of the human form. Thanks :)
