Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-24.115.246.196-20181209194807/@comment-37719459-20181210222954

Personally I consider Keefe to be more mature, just because he stayed completely silent during the whole Sophitz thing--I don't think Sophie noticed!

(Then again, she doesn't notice ANYTHING so I'm kinda not surprised...)

The reason I ship Keefoster is, in fact, because of Fitz's maturity. Or, should I say, lack thereof. Here's why I don't like Fitz--If something upsets him, well it UPSETS him. He throws a little "big boy temper tantrum", usually lashes out at Sophie, lowers her self-esteem, and *finally* calms down and realizes what he did. He apologizes to Sophie, and (of course) she accepts it, but the damage has already been done. Fitz doesn't seem to realize what he's doing to Sophie, and if he did, probably wouldn't do anything**. Fitz (sorry) seems to lack the maturity to realize this problem of his and fix it, especially since the girl he likes most is the most common victim. Keefe on the other hand has changed himself multiple times when he realized it was hurting Sophie.


 * Footnote:

Wow, I feel really fancy and sophisticated for using a footnote! (Please don't argue with me about this fact in the comments--I will not be turned.  XD)       But I guess either of us could be wrong--none of us knows the characters as well as Shannon Messenger does. It could go either way, you know? Fitz could wise up in the next book (he'd better) but if he doesn't, I think that'll be the last (but also probably the first one she saw) straw for her. Anyway sorry if it sounded rude. That's just my opinion.

And on the sokeefe/sophitz issue, I think we should be able to visit other ships' pages, but let's just keep our arguments and comments respectful.

Thanks!
