Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-37879183-20181229040725/@comment-37719459-20181229155722

K, I know a lot of people have done this, but I'm going to go back with counterarguments. (If you're getting tired of this, skip to the second part.)

Accent: Yippee, Fitz has an accent. Yes, Sophie finds it attractive, but that just adds to the physical characteristics that she likes, that crowd out the (nonexistent to very rare) personality traits.

A guy who wouldn't break into your computer if given a password (seriously Keefe?  Taking the caches to get into the Neverseen to protect Sophie from the inside?  How DARE you!)

Trustworthy: Sophie's MIND is INSTINCTIVELY trusting Fitz (remind anyone of head vs heart theory?  I'm not goiong to go into it tho), probably because he was the one who first rescued her. Meanwhile, she likes Keefe for good reason--he doesn't do ANYTHING that's not for her benefit, especially since after the Keefe short story.

Smart nice relatives. This is what really gets me. Keefe doesn't have good relatives. In fact, he doesn't have ANYONE besides Ro--Fitz is busy with Sophie, Sophie is busy with Fitz, his parents are in varying degrees of evil, etc. The thing that I don't get about Sophitz shippers--DO YOU CARE ABOUT KEEFE? This is half the point! Keefe has no one, so he needs Sophie! Fitz, on the other hand, is pretty much perfect--practically perfect, in fact, in every way. (I don't like Mary Poppins BTW.  Go figure.)

A guy who isn't related to you. Please do us all a favor and don't put this down as an argument until it's proved, IF it's proved.

Nice house. EVERYONE IN THE LOST CITIES CAN GET A NICE HOUSE. #irrelevant

Can defend himself. Keefe can actually do that much better. Besides, if it comes to enduring something bad for Sophie, Fitz is...a bit flaky.

They're cognates! Hmm, that sounds a little familiar. Now where have I heard that before?

I do not mean to offend; if I did, I'm sorry.
