Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-173.72.4.142-20190120174428

So I was recently rereading flashback, and a part of it made me have warm fuzzy feelings inside. Remember that awkward moment when keefe was talking to sophie and said "Fitz told him everything."??? Well, He didn't act jealous at all. The thing is, I realized Keefe only wanted sophie to be happy, and nothing else, even if those wants clashed with his own personal desires, as opposed to Fitz, who, on page 745-ish was explicitly jealous when Keefe sided with sophie for alvar's protection.

Well THAT's convenient

What is?

''Keefe siding with you. I wonder why he did that?''

this is a small excerpt from a telepathic conversation sophie and fitz had, after keefe called Fitz zap-happy for wanting to electrocute alvar for simply taking a walk around the house.

After that, I realized all the times keefe encouraged the "Fitzphie moments". He did it because he thought fitz genuinely made sophie happy, and if he couldn't do the same, he would back off. Fitz doesn't do that, guys. He chases after his own selfish desires, as seen in all the scenes where the only part of sophie he admires is her status as the moonlark, and her high power ranking. Would he feel the same way if she was unmatchable? probably not. But keefe would.

"The thing is...I like being a vacker---or I did until all of this happened. I know you're probably going to think I'm a jerk for admitting that but...I like knowing I'm a part of a huge legacy--"

Part of a speech from fitz. Fitz only cares about upholding his reputation as a vacker.

But keefe...(and this part made my heart melt) his weakness is not pride, like dex, or wrath, like Fitz. His only true weakness? Sophie. That thought made my day.

I hope this isn't ship or character bashing.
