Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-216.139.2.247-20191209200338

Hey everybody, I read this awesome argument by BlackSwanSRM, and I wanted to share a bit of it with you- FULL CREDIT for this goes to BlackSwanSRM! I did not come up with the idea to do this, though it's genius.

So anyway, someone gave a defense for Fitz hating Alvar, and BlackSwanSRM ended their Sokeefe argument by completely turning their argument around and saying this:

" Lastly, I want to respond to this-

"This is kinda unrelated, but I know someone is probably going to bring this up so I think Fitz trying to hurt his brother isn't just anger. It's guilt as well. Guilt that he doesn't know what to do with, or how to handle it or why it's still there after all this time. He knows that none of this would've happened if he'd noticed what his brother was up to. And the source of all this guilt, all this shame is right in front of him....what else do you expect him to do? He's trying to make his mistakes right, fix the mistakes he thinks he made."

-by doing this-

"This is kinda unrelated, but I know someone is probably going to bring this up so I think Keefe joining the Neverseen isn't just recklessness. It's guilt as well. Guilt that he doesn't know what to do with, or how to handle it or why it's still there after all this time. He knows that none of this would've happened if he'd noticed what his mother was up to (planning). And the source of all this guilt, all this shame is right in front of him....what else do you expect him to do? He's trying to make his mistakes right, fix the mistakes he thinks he made." "

I'm sorry Fitzphies, but I loved this so much. XD I can understand people wanting to defend Fitz's 'anger issues', but I can't understand when those same people get mad at Keefe for temporarily joining the Neverseen. Just switching around a few words of one of their pro-Fitz arguments shows just how similar the two situations are, and that if you're not going to be mad at Fitz for hating Alvar, then it's not really reasonable to be mad at Keefe for joining the Neverseen.

Thanks, BlackSwanSM, for that incredible argument!
