Yall Know That Keefe And Fitz Are Both At The Top Of The Elven Social Structure... Right? You Know Keefe

yall know that keefe and fitz are both at the top of the elven social structure... right? you know keefe didn't grow up some kind of poor disparaged boy... right? you know that while keefe had incredibly manipulative and emotionally unavailable parents, fitz had unrealistic expectations and a preexisting legacy (pun intended) he had to carry practically since he was born, and that only doubled when he manifested and was tasked with bringing sophie to the lost cities... right? so can we PLEASE appreciate how these boys found each other to take comfort in, and have some semblance of a normal school life despite their lives and upbringing that would have made them social outcasts otherwise?

Super Long Hot-take On Why Fitz is a Young Grady and Not Keefe

As the title suggests, this post is incredibly long, so get comfy, it’s gonna be a couple minutes before you get to the end of this rabbit hole. (All of it is under the cut for space, and let me know if I need to add any trigger warnings. Also, there aren’t really any spoilers in here I don’t think, but I put the warning here to err on the side of caution because it won’t let me add more tags. Enjoy!)

i cant believe i called the ending omg

SHE ADDRESSED THE LAURA ISSUE FISJFJSJD IM SOBBING

now that we're seeing new sides of sophie, i'm really looking forward to seeing how she'll react to keefe's letter. somehow i doubt this will be another cryfest. i want to see how she copes and takes it in stride. i want to see how everyone else, especially dex, supports her (and each other). unlocked was absolutely necessary for character development that will set the precedent for the cards both sides choose to play moving forward

only reason the fandom hates fitz is bc the effects of his upbringing don't fit ur sad loverboy aesthetic
