Honestly I kind of find the parallels to Alfor to be quite superficial? Like yes, Lance gets the altean broadsword (which, in the end, serves no real purpose), he has a conflicting relationship with Keith/Kuron (who, like you sad, both represent Zarkon in their own way), he loves Allura and eventually gets the same blue altean marks... But then? What was the real reason to make the parallels in the first place? It would make sense if he became New Altea's ruler or Coran's advisor (and thus making a parallel with Keith who is still involved with the Blades and the Galra after the war), or if he inherited Allura's powers, but no, he's a retired and depressed farmer at 20 years old, which makes no sense for his character at all.
I personally believe in the theory that s08 was heavily edited and that a lot of the material involving Lance's character arc was inevitably cut in the end, but still I don't understand what the writers were actually trying to do... And yes, I heard about that cursed "Lance raises baby Allura" concept, thank God they didn't do that.
Not an allurance shipper but always an Allurance defender
But the one thing i can't defend is the writers insisting on the Lance/Alfor parallels specially since they knew (I presume) Allurance was endgame
What was the purpose of that? Why?
Maybe it was for Lauren's cursed idea of bringing Allura back as a baby and have Lance raise her but that honestly makes it like a hundred times worse

“My story has so much gay rep in it!” Awesome. How are you treating your female characters btw
have you ever been 15 and there's this guy who's obsessed with you and you don't know why but you figure, it's only because he thinks he can't have you and honestly he's a bit of an arsehole but mostly towards your best friend. and yes, your best friend doesn't always act right but you've known him since you were kids and you know he can be good and he is, he so often is, but hangs out with the wrong people, that's it. but then he goes and betrays your trust completely and you can never forgive him because you told him so many times that he needed to open his eyes but he never did. and actually the arsehole who's obsessed with you is the opposite. he listens, he changes. and you start to realise, he knows you. while you ignored him (for all the good reasons) he's been paying attention and knows what you like, what you're like, and what you think is right or wrong. and he wants to be good for you, the best version of himself, so you give him a chance and you start dating and all of a sudden you're involved in his friend group that is not really a polycule but is certainly extremely codependent? happened to my good friend lily evans
Professor Remus Lupin on platform 9 ¾ before he boards the train to Hogwarts.
Lupin is one of my absolute favorite HP characters, so it was about time I drew him!<3
