Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-43768196-20190928024455

You know. I think I’ve been going about this the wrong way from the beginning. I started shipping right away. First Dexphie for entirely dumb reasons. I like to ship “best friends” especially since literature hardly ever gets together the guy and girl who have a sweet platonic bond. Then I read Everblaze started shipping Sofitzphie because they were adorable together. They trusted each other so much during those mentor lessons and healing Fintan. My heart just swooned when they had moments throughout the series. I didn’t even really give Keefe a chance. I was biased for Sofitzphie and focused solely on their moments and coming up with reasons why they were the “best” ship. I ignored any Sokeefe moments and even rolled my eyes purposely during them because I was so on board with Sofitzphie that I refused to consider any other option. I think what I really need to do, is not reread the series and get all mushy over the Sofitzphie together and thus ship them more again. I think what I really need is to reread the series from a neutral standpoint. To force myself to be objective and really look at the relationships themselves, all the relationships, give them each a fair chance, to really look deep down at what’s there, what’s driving these moments. What the base is for these relationships. I think until I do that, I can’t really truly ship Sofitzphie or Sokeefe and I’ll just keep going on undecided about what I want for these characters. When I come back from that reread you may just have another person on your side. Wish me luck!
