Could Be Misremembering - Tumblr Posts

Okay but isn't it mentioned that Kesler likes human stuff? Dex said he learnt English because his father liked to show him human movies, right? Maybe Sophie can ask Kesler how he gets them and is able to keep a tiny piece of who she once was.

Y'all ever think about how Sophie, a girl who grew up reading, doesn't really get to read anymore? Like yeah, she reads when she needs to, for school or Neverseen research, but she'll never be able to pick up her favorite books, or read human classics. She will never be able to touch well worn covers, or smell the ink of a fresh new book.

Nobody will understand when she talks about her favorite childhood fairytales, or human mythology. Her friends won't be able to read those books either.

Idk it just makes me really sad when I think of all the things she left behind in the forbidden cities.

Yeah Shannon mentions occasionally all of what Sophie left behind but I don't think even Shannon realized just how much Sophie gave up the moment she became a citizen of the Lost Cities

Sophie didn't just give up one life, she gave up her entire life.

She was a child

She was twelve years old

She was barely starting to grow up and she lost all those years in what was basically an instant. Yeah Sophie willingly went along but now Sophie's childhood home is gutted and carved into some random spot in Mysterium (whatever it's called)

Sophie has barely had any time to be a kid anymore and she's still a child. She's barely a tween! Yes her weird ass elf birthday says she's nine months older but nine months won't change the fact that Sophie Foster died that day at the museum.

Sophie Elizabeth Foster is gone

Only the Moonlark seems to remain

She was a child who probably loved to read fantasy books where the main character found a home, a group of friends to call family, a place where they finally belonged. Narnia, the Hobbit, Lord of the Rings. Sophie has mentioned these books.

All have heros who find magic and suddenly belong.

But Sophie doesn't get to have that.

She was a child

She still is a child
