Talk:Fitz and Linh/@comment-30858466-20170111002803

Heya, just a reminder. Please keep your shipping comments to your respective pages. It's not right to bash Litz just because you ship Sophitz. I'm looking at you, Sophitz shippers. *stares at Sophitz shippers until they back off*

I personally think this ship could very well sail. Fitz and Linh have similar personalities, which does make them a good pair. Linh's personality is subdued, and she is a naturally quiet person. Fitz feels pressure on him to succeed and become cognates with Sophie, plus he probably feels like when it comes to Telepathy he is always in her shadow. He does have a habit of keeping to himself, and any other time besides Exile (Alden's mind breaking) he never gets angry.

In Lodestar, when the Keeper crew was on their way to the hideout where Sophie was kidnapped, there was a moment for Litz. Fitz steadies Linh as she uses her powers to keep the rain off them. You all are saying that Fitz is just awed by Linh's raw power, but I don't believe that is true. I mean, it could be, but did you notice that only Dex and Fitz said wow when they visited the twins in the Neutral territories in book four? Keefe didn't because he was being super stubborn, but Sophie and Biana did not say "Wow". This could mean that it's the boys saying wow she's cute and powerful.

Now I am going to say some valid reasons not to ship Sophitz. And no, I am not a hypocrite. Bashing is just like saying:

Boo Litz! Sophitz is forever!

I am presenting valid reasons for why Sophitz is not my ship. It makes sense to say that Sophie likes Fitz because duh he's super cute, and she can trust him to have her back and keep her secrets. But there isn't really any laughter in this relationship. Without humor or jokes, the mood gets very somber, because Sophie comes with a lot of problems and battles and the seriousness and tension becomes so thick you can cut through it with a butter knife. Sophie and Fitz together is just... too intense. And not the lovey dovey "oh, my love for you is so strong" kind of intense. It's the "ah the stress is eating me up" kind of intense. I want to stay off the Keefoster topic because this is the Litz page, but another reason not to ship Sophitz is because Sophie and Keefe are a much better fit.

I am really hoping that there are some more manifestations of Litz in the 6th book, and that this ship stays alive. But I don't want to be shipping it because I want to pair up everybody and that's just how it fits. This is a really good ship because their personalities fit, Fitz and Linh could possibly like each other, and it also helps that they would look super cute together.
