One of the things that makes the family conflict in Lilo & Stitch work narratively is that Cobra is correct in that Lilo and Nani's current situation is non-sustainable. And yes, Nani is not prepared to handle everything by herself. But losing the custody is not the solution either, and to a degree Cobra seems to believe the same (he legit does not want that to happen), but if Nani can't solve the problem, then from his perspective it's the least harmful solution.

And the conflict is solved because what Lilo and Nani need (what they REALLY needed) is a support net. Someone, anyone to be there to take at least SOME of the burden from Nani and give her breathing room.

Which is why Jumba and Peakley joining the family alongside Stitch, and become a constant pressence who share the burden of the household, makes all the difference.

And this does not solve all the problems, because the movie is not about magically resolving those problems, it's about putting the characters in a situation in which they can move forward as a family. And for their desire to be a family and be together as a family, to be respected.

Anyway, someone told me what the remake did for the ending

Fuck im deep in my klance feelings yet again

theory that Keith really was in love with Lance makes season 7 and 8 almost comedic at times. Keith letting Lance get away with shit because “anything you say gorgeous.” only early season 7 but him letting Lance pick the lion arrangements and trusting him to lead the team the next episode. moral of Voltron (2016): gay people will be your boss and make that everyone else’s problem

I love this ask because it's so funny, and at first I was only going to respond with my agreement that Keith is really just outing himself as in love with Lance any time he has to interact with him, but then I started wondering... does he out himself?? is it visible through his actions after season 6? Which led to the question,

Does Keith have a soft spot for Lance after his return?

We know thanks to this analysis that Keith definitely has a soft spot for Lance in the first three seasons, before he leaves. But when he comes back, the first thing he does is yell at Lance. This is very out of character for Keith, given what we've seen from his reactions to Lance since season 1. Keith is very rarely actually angry at Lance, like he seems here in Season 6, Episode 4. And here I discuss why he reacts that way. So it seems like, after season 6, something changed, and Keith hates Lance now. But... Is that true? What does Keith's actions tell us?

Let's have a look together, shall we?

Their first interaction, despite popular belief, is not Keith yelling at Lance, but actually here:

[Season 6, Episode 4: The Colony, 05:05]

Lance commenting on Keith's appearance. Which we know Keith hears, because he reacts:

[Season 6, Episode 4: The Colony, 05:10]

His expression changes, turning more serious. Okay... that's interesting... Why was it necessary to cut to Keith while Lance is still speaking? Usually, this type of shot is used to indicate that the receiver heard the person speaking, and to show us the receivers reaction to what is being said. This is evidenced when Keith reacts to Hunk saying that Lotor is in the Quintessence field and we see Keith's expression change again and him saying "Oh, no". So, we know that Keith heard what Lance said, not just by the shot, but also because his expression changes. Keith reacts to Lance commenting on his appearance by changing the subject and asking where Lotor is. And it seems his impatience reaches a head when Keith lands and they have their second interaction here:

[Season 6, Episode 4: The Colony, 06:05]

Wanna know something interesting about this?? Keith's expression changes again when Lance says this and walks towards him, because THIS is his expression while Lance talks:

Keith is not frowning nearly as much as when he yells at Lance. That means he reacts again to Lance commenting on his looks. Again, I examined here what lies behind Keith's reaction, but as far as we've seen, this pretty much sets up the "Keith dismisses Lance because he doesn't take him seriously," impression that the casual viewer gets (and many fans when the season was released...)

In fact, Lance talks to Keith multiple times in this episode, but Keith never answers him.

"The average pediatric wheelchair can cost thousands of dollars. And when children grow and their needs evolve — or a wheelchair gets damaged — those costs multiply.

So, the team at MakeGood NOLA, a New Orleans-based adaptive design lab, has made something that can transform the world for disabled children.

“Introducing the world’s first fully 3D-printed wheelchair,” MakeGood founder and president Noam Platt started a recent social media video.

He wheels a small, almost toy-like lime-green wheelchair into the frame, complete with a matching harness, suitable for children ages 2 to 8.

“Everything from the body, to the wheels, to the tires, the seat, and even the straps, all were 3D printed on a regular Bambu Labs A1 machine,” Platt continued.

This means the design is fully compatible with a regular 3D printer anyone can have in their home.

“We designed this to be modular and easy to make,” Platt continued. “Really, anyone with a 3D printer and some filament can download the files and print it.” [Note: You can also use 3D printers for free or a small cost at some public libraries and maker spaces, opening up accessibility even further.]

Once the prototype is completely finished, it will be available as a fair-use download that anyone can use for free.

Platt said that because it has a modular design, the wheelchair can be put together without any tools or glue. And if any part of it breaks or is damaged, users can simply re-print the single piece they need.

“As a wheelchair user I love everything about this,” TikTok user @thisisharlie commented on Platt’s video debuting the wheelchair.

“Mine costs more than my car, I can’t imagine having to buy a new one every year or two as they outgrow it,” @thisisharlie continued. “You’re going to change the world.”

For Platt, that’s always been the plan.

When he created MakeGood in 2021, the nonprofit design lab was thinking of the more than 1 billion people around the globe who live with disabilities.

“Since traditional design often overlooks diverse bodies and minds, it is crucial to reshape the built environment,” MakeGood shares on its website. “The challenges our communities face — both physical and social — are solvable.”

MakeGood works with individuals to co-create their adaptive design solutions, centering the “Need Knower,” the disabled person or their primary caregivers, throughout the entire process.

Since the founding of MakeGood, 1,600 individualized adaptive devices have been delivered to families for free. Platt’s team found a niche with this wheelchair, which they call the Toddler Mobility Trainer, or TMT. 

On its website, the organization says the wheelchairs were “designed with therapists from all over the world” and offer “unmatched mobility and independence to young kids.”

Children and parents agree.

“It’s an A+,” one parent said of an earlier prototype of the TMT in a report by CBS News. “It’s helped [my son] become more mobile and be able to adapt into the other things that he’s going to be offered. It’s helped his development.”

At the start of the design process, Platt reached out to area hospitals to see if he could fill a need.

“Part of it is empowering clinicians that we can go beyond what is commercially available,” Platt told CBS News. “We can really create almost anything.”

Now in the final stages of tweaking the TMT design to be ready for release, Platt is eager to get the wheelchair rolled out and into the homes of the children who need them most.

“We think this sort of 3D printing and design is going to be huge for accessibility, and for wheelchairs specifically,” Platt said in his social media video. 

In the meantime, people can request a free chair from MakeGood.

“We have a growing list of people who’ve requested these, and once we finish the design, we’ll start filling those requests with custom-printed chairs, including things that you might need for your particular chair,” Platt said in a follow-up video.

Because the chairs are easily 3D printed, they can come in any color and can be modified to include other accommodations, like a section to hold a breathing device or other aid. With years of customization and design experience under his belt, this new innovation is simply an extension of Platt’s dedication to inclusive design.

In 2023, Platt told New Mobility: “I feel like every time I deliver one of these [assistive] devices, I get a hopeful feeling that the world has been changed a little bit for the better for the next generation.”"
