A few good reasons I ship Sophitz are that first of all, though I have nothing against Keefe, Sophie was never so upset as when Keefe left. He hurt her that much and treated it with a martyr complex where he wasn’t all that sorry for hurting Sophie, instead making it about him. Yes, he had so many redeeming moments, but what really sold Sophitz for me was that Fitz was there for Sophie, whether he lashed out or not. He knew her well enough to see that when he tried to make a move on her and she wasn’t ready he didn’t force it. Keefe on the other hand, pressed her against a wall, playfully, but still. And in terms of relatability, I too am from a “golden family” so Fitz always clicked as such a realistic character and while most people would root against him for that, I root for him, because the expectations placed around him are huge and all he wants is to fill them. I am the same way, so I understand why so many people hate him, as so many people hate me for similar reasons, but it isn’t easy trying to meet what everyone else wants you to be. Fitz is one of the most hated characters, but I think he’s just frustrated and confused by the difference between what he is and what everyone says he is.
