Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-24.115.246.196-20190215155120

As a writer/aspiring author, I don’t mind shipping. But personally what I mind is blatantly ignoring canon to insist that your preference is right and the writer/author’s actual work and vision is somehow wrong. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. It’s when shippers can’t tell the difference between opinion and fact that it becomes problematic. Ship wars have ruined many fandoms. ( yes that goes for both sides)

Personally I don’t want or need Sophie and Keefe to be romantic because I feel that Shannon has created their relationship to kind of represent a healthy, good friendship that everyone should be able to have. ( and also prove that you can be friends with a boy or girl and not have to fall in love with them if that makes any sense. The same goes for Sophie and Dex but I haven’t really gotten to observe their friendship as of much lately since Dex has kinda been Mia) but that is just my personal take on it. It’s kinda funny how people think that a close friendship isn’t love. Platonic love is still pretty powerful. And I’m not saying that shipping is a bad thing ( I can see why people ship Sokeefe) I’m just saying that it’s a bit annoying that quite a few people think that two characters having great chemistry= a romantic relationship. Like I kind of said before, I think they love each other but not in a “romantic” way but more in a brother-sister way, like how they bicker and mess with each other but will always love each other ( hence “I could never hate you”) they way they act reminds me a lot of my close guy friend who I really do love but could never see myself dating him. honestly I’d love to see them start a relationship then have a healthy break-up where they just work on their friendship, and see that they should not continue dating because it changes their dynamic too much. ( which I could see happening) now, one could say all this about Sophitz and their relationship/friendship but I just have a gut feeling that this is where Shannon is going with Sokeefe. Anyway, if their relationship does turn out to just be a friendship there is plenty of artwork and fanfictions our there about them being in a romantic relationship. I’m not a huge Fitzphie shipper ( actually I kinda am? xD 😂😍) but it would obviously be rude to post this on the Sokeefe page so hopefully you don’t mind this. let me know what your thoughts on this are!
