Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-32247874-20190528192655

Hello! I made Template:FitzDefender. Full arguement here:

I feel like it's worth pointing out that Fitz hasn't had another anger incident with Sophie since Exile, when he promised it would never happen again. He even calmed down with Alvar when she asked him to.

People deal with negative feelings in different ways. I'm not entirely excusing Fitz, but just because he's angry & Keefe's not doesn't mean he's a terrible person. He's not mentally healthy; struggling with anger is not his fault. Giving into the anger would be his fault, but the struggle isn't. Yes, he went as far as wanting to even kill Alvar in Flashback, but he didn't give into it. Even though he was so overpowered by the anger, he didn't give in. Also, a big part of the reason he didn't give in was because of Sophie and the promises he made her; he wants to do better because of her.

[Also, an argument from Mint-chocolate-mallowmelt:]

Often, fans say that Fitz got overly angry and lashed out at Sophie during Flashback, but I at least definitely did not interpret it that way. He was angry because he felt that justice had not been served and that Alvar was living at Everglen, able to harm his loved ones. He was not angry at Sophie, but rather at the council.
