Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-2606:A000:560E:33F0:41BB:688A:94D4:2E9F-20181117151156/@comment-35320625-20181117174319

Counter-Counter-Counter Argument (wow. Lotta counters.)

1. Sophie helps Fitz work through his anger issues. And honestly, the only things that were making him really angry were the echo and Alvar. Both are gone (at least from his immediate vacinity) now, so I think he's going to get better.  He would definitely get over his anger issues for Sophie- because honestly, he would do anything for her.

Keefe has his own issues. AND he was jealous- remember before they named the Alicorns? He is  jealous. I think they're pretty equal there. He hides things. Even in Flashback, he is secretive from Sophie. That's a terrible factor in a relationship. Both Fitz and Keefe have problems, I think we can agree on that.

2. I AGREE WITH SUNSHINEANNIE. They're teenagers, give them a break. Not everything is going to be perfect and real... some part of every relationship (including with Keefe, but that's another story...) is going to feel fake.

3. I think it's fair to say Fitz and Keefe have different styles. Fitz is cautious, he doesn't want to hurt Sophie's feelings. Keefe (who already HAS hurt Sophie's feelings) is somewhat the same, yet he doesn't want to take a firm stance yet.

I don't think we should get mad at SWM for how the short story was composed. After all, she wrote it after writing an '''800 page novel!!! That's longer than Nightfall- plus, THAT TAKES A LOT OF WORK''' (I should know, I'm a novelist!)!!!! Who can blame her if she was tired by the time she had to write the short-story?
