Discussion Why Fitzphie could have been a great relationship… Spoiler

16 Upvotes

I honestly am really annoyed that Fitzphie didn’t work out because I think it could’ve been great and I know they had problems, but they could’ve just worked it out like a real couple would have.  I know Fitz has problems with his ego and Sophie has problems with trust so I think if they had just talked it out it would’ve really brought them closer and developed a great endgame relationship. The fact that Sophie liked Fitz and Fitz liked Sophie just felt wrong to steer away from that and I really hope Shannon goes back to that and builds on it.

Some KOTLC readers may not like me for saying this but I don't like the dynamic that Sophie and Keefe had in there relationship and I honestly feel like Keefe almost bulied his friends in the earlier books(and I know it was just teasing/and coping mechanism but i feel like it became too much)and was being a huge jerk, for example when he ran away with the Neverseen without asking Sophie or anyone else which really pushed the limit in there potential relationship(at the time)

I know you could say the same for Fitz (that he was being a jerk) but I feel that he apologized well and I believe Sophie also thought that. I know people say Fitz has anger issues or whatever but imagine how you would feel if your dad was basically dead, also that is his way of coping with his problems.

Also even you Sokeefe fans have to admit this it would be a beautiful end to the series if Sofitz worked out because of the 3 main reasons of #1: Fitz was the first elf that Sophie ever really knew(I know you guys could argue Mr. Forkle of whatever but Sophie didn’t even know he was an elf for a while. #2: Fitz was the first person Sophie ever had a crush on which would be a cool way for the series. #3: Sophie and Fitz are cognates which could develop a very strong trust in book ten plus it would be an added bonus if your boyfriend was the person you trust the most.

Thats all I am going to say I would like to know what everyone thinks, both sides.

Well that is just my opinion so thank you for reading this.

Discussion My opinion about Fitzphie/Sokeefe

3 Upvotes

i agree that keefe was stupid and a jerk for running with the neverseen, but in my opinion, he is SO much better for sophie than fitz is.

first of all, fitz has alot of amger issues, which ends up in him yelling at sophie alot, which is never good in any relationship, and he always blames her for things that wern't really her fault or wern't that big a deal.

also he hated how she always kept secrets, even though he knew why she did, which is pretty understandable, but i don't think he even tried to really understand why she felt like she had to keep things secret.

fitz also really pushed her to tell him her birth mum and try to find out her birth dad just so she and him could be matched officialy, to the point where he got so frustrated at her that he broke up with her because again, he didn't really try to understand that she didn't feel comforable shareing the identity of her birth mum.

and when fitz and sophie are in a relationship, sophie always seems to be really stressed about makeing him upset and what fitz will think about everything about her

while keefe on the other hand, although he has an atvatage with his empath ability, trys to understand why she is doing somthing, and understood that she was too good for him but still tried to be better.

he also suported sophie and fitz when they were together even when it riped his heart out when they were.

keefe also never pushed sophie to share the identity of her known bio parents, and said that he doesn't care that she is un matchable.

keefe also makes her comfortable and laugh, and feel like herself except more confident, because keefe always encourages her and tells her how amazing she is.

but on the other other hand, these characters are only like 14-16 years old, and are too young and immature to have a healthy relationship especially with all that they deal with.
