Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-39957185-20190804175959/@comment-173.61.194.199-20190806192740


 * facepalm* Ugh, guys? Have you been reading the series at all? *Sigh* Her obliviousness doesn't stem from niavity or stupidity, it comes from low self esteem. Think about it: Sophie has lived most of her life as a so called "freak", frequently getting bullied by her classmates and having no friends and feeling out of place, and on top of that she has to hear every bad thought anyone has ever had about her, which makes her feel even more out of place- even amongst her own family! I'm sure we know from Keefe: words hurt, they're like knives that pierce your skin, deeper and deeper, inflicting wounds that will never fully heal. As Keefe once said in the short story," she now assumes that everyone has those kind of thoughts about her, even if she can't hear them anymore." So from a reader's standpoint, I see she put's Fitz on pedastal- he's the cool, princely, teal-eyed Vacker who introduced her to where she belonged- and even though poor Keefe has some... issue's, he's a loveable and sweet guy. Those two amazing guys COULDN'T possibily have feelings for the weird brown-eyed elf. Her own bad self image get's in the way of any possibility of thinking, "hey, maybe he likes me?"
