I agree. I never really shipped Sophitz though. I think when I first saw that she was interested in Fitz I was like ooooh love interest! But I didn't really ship it, although I kinda wanted to see if they would end up together. Then I met Keefe-- and everything changed. His relationship with Sophie was hilarious and sweet, and even though neither Keefe nor Sophie had shown interest in each other yet, I liked Keefe infinitely more than Fitz.

By the time book 2 came around, I could clearly see Keefe's announced interest in Sophie, Sophie's thought interest in Fitz, but also Sophie's subconscious interest in Keefe. I didn't like the way Sophie "fangirled" over Fitz's eyes and smile, and to be honest, I didn't really like FItz. His personality seemed non-existent, and he was kind of mysterious. I didn't know what to think of him through Book 1 and half of Book 2-- until his anger problem in later Book 2.

Fitz's anger in later Book 2 was the first clear personality I noticed in him. (This is just me, you guys may have seen it sooner or later than I did..). That immediately lead to my first real impression of him: "The guy Sophie likes only for his looks, because he has no personaity except for anger issues and look what he's doing to her and she forgives him!!"

That's when I decided that I was not on the Sophie+Fitz side. And all through Book 2, I had noticed the fluttery feelings Sophie got when Keefe was near her or said something sweet or cute-- as opposed to the fluttery feeling she got when Fitz simply smiled. I found myself rooted for the Sokeefe moments, and rolling my eyes at the Sophitz moments.

Then I started getting on the internet around Book 3, and realized that "Sokeefe" was a thing as well as "Sophitz." I proudly labeled myself a Sokeefe "shipper" (a new idea for me at the time) and was excited to find that others shipped Sokeefe, too. That's also when I decided it would be the end of the world if Sophitz happened.

I don't feel that way about Sophitz anymore. I think it's cute, actually. I just prefer Sokeefe.

Omg this turned out soooooooooooo long. Sorry lol thanks for reading my rant-story-thing
