Talk:Keefe and Sophie/@comment-109.161.131.188-20191108081323/@comment-38350210-20191108145020

I totally agree!! I think that his dad breaking, his brother's betrayal, Keefe joining the Neverseen, and now Sophie, on top of everything, has kind of...damaged him. He was an interesting, layered, charismatic character who was really enjoyable and had a great heart. For the earliest majority of the books, I was a hard-core Fitzphie shipper. But then, after going through so much, he changed. I can understand that, but the others went through just as much and became better for it.

When Fitzphie happened, it was easy enough to spot the signs that it wouldn't work it. Sophie has become just a punching bag to Fitz, and he's gone from that kind, confident, supportive, mysterious boy in the museum to the boy who manipulates and uses his friends, who tried to murder his older brother, and who'll explode at the smallest things.

He's a jerk to Sophie about being unmatchable and doesn't think about her feelings anymore, forcing her to do what he thinks is best. If he had grown better and stronger from his hardship, I would still really love Fitzphie. But he let it turn him into someone completely different from the boy that we all once loved.
