Talk:Sophie and Fitz/@comment-36607742-20181009044709/@comment-47.137.136.79-20181013220556


 * cracks knuckles* Alright, to start, I'd like to say both Sophitz and Sokeefe are great ships.  Keefe is a wonderful person and so is Fitz.  Both guys are very realistic.  Let's do a rundown of both characters; Keefe: He uses jokes to hide his darkness and hides behind a wall of humor.  Fitz: He tries to convice himself his world is perfect, and almost does, until his darkness comes forward.  His darkness is harder to hide than Keefe's and that's why he is prone to anger.

So, both are very realistic personality wise, contrary to common belief. With Fitz pretending he doesn't have any dark feelings, it appears like his personality is plain, ONLY because he wants it to seem that way. (I can provide textual evidence for all of this.) Thus is born the comments of, "FItz has no personality, he is all looks."

True, it seems like he is very dull, but if you stop to think, Fitz pretends his world is perfect and he tries to act that way to fit into his world, which is why he seems to have very little faults. This is also why his faults he does have are so much stronger. I speak from experience, if you do very well at something, for example school, and you get perfect scores on everything, the expectation becomes that you will always get perfect scores. When you don't follow that expectation, reality feels like it collapses in on you. This pressure is very difficult and I still give under it to be what is expected of me.

Sure, it's not good to care that much of what people think of you, but we are all human and tell me when you find someone without faults. Back to the point, Fitz  has this pressure of being perfect put on him, which is why he tries to act perfect and comes off as plain. When this perfect world crumbles, what do you get? Someone who is very angry. Someone who is hurt and lashes out. Again, speaking from experience, failure hurts more than you would expect when you expect something more.

In short, people have trouble understanding Fitz, because they don't read between the lines. They see the perfect him he tries to be. Everyone has the mask they wear and his is being perfect. He isn't just here for looks. If you think he is just there for looks, you are only seeing the surface value of the character. Then, maybe you should start looking for the subtle things that Fitz can't hide, rather than the things he pretends make him who he his.
