Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-216.139.2.247-20200206171605

SOOOO I was just ranting at a friend about Fitz and Sophie's relationship being unhealthy and I decided to post part of the rant here. Sorry if it's less organized and more passionate than the usual, lol. It wasn't originally gonna be for here.

Fitz is just so used to everything going the way he wants it to. It's like he figured Alvar being evil was bad enough and now he should have to face no more hardships in his life.Meanwhile Keefe's mom is an evil murderer who messed with his brain and possibly his body and sliced open his hand when he was nine to preach about blood being powerful and is trying to ruin his life. His dad is emotionally and mentally abusive and negligent and cold, and crushes his spirit at every opportunity. His hero (Alvar) turned out to be evil, and tried to drag Keefe down with him. His father-figure is telling him to back off from Sophie and let his son have her. His crush is head-over-heels for someone else. His best friend is Sophie's said crush and is going out with her and also is occasionally nasty to Keefe because he's made a lot of mistakes. Most of his closest friends (Dex, Biana) are in Team Valiant without him, Tam, his I-love-to-hate-you BFF is currently on the bad guy side and charged with KILLING HIM FOR HEAVEN'S SAKES. He doesn't have a Cognate. He doesn't have a sibling. He doesn't get the girl. He doesn't get the dad. His bodyguard is his only friend in the world that he can rely on consistently, and she tries to cover him in flesh-eating bacteria whenever he misbehaves. The one thing that was HIS and ONLY HIS AND SOPHIE'S were the alicorns, and then FITZ got to attend the birth instead of him. And what does he do with his messed up life? He takes it, counts his blessings (and his curses, because he can't help but feel overwhelmed by all the bad sometimes), keeps his chin up, bears his father, tries to defeat his mother, and helps his best friend and crush get together. And Fitz, with the LOVING parents and the WONDERFUL sister and the COGNATE and the GIRL and the REPUTATION and the GRADES and the APPROVAL, takes the one bad thing that happened in his life and turns himself into a victim over it.Yes I did just rant.
