You know what has to be done?

We write our own book 10, before the official one comes out, with our OWN lore and inside jokes.

It'll be one big mess of a fanfic, who's in?

Do you have any analysis or thoughts about the scene chapter 40 (Sophie sees the drawing green journal and that awkward conversation) sorry I just haven’t seen anyone discuss it yet

at first i didn't think this needed an analysis because it was a given what was going on - but i knew better than to let it slide and decided to give the scene a reread.

and oh boy.

if you yourself need a refresher, sophie has just come home from foxfire. keefe is under the panakes drawing after a training session with grady. sophie and keefe exchange their thoughts about their classes, the current stellarlune situation, and what keefe is drawing. keefe shows sophie that he drew ethan and eleanor's graves. during the discussion, keefe becomes frustrated and pushes the journals off his lap - flipping the green one open to the page where he had drawn sophie and fitz performing a cognate exercise.

sophie sees it as she is going to clean up the mess for him. she mentions that her and fitz's gazes are intense, but that's not what she's interested in: she's interested in how keefe drew her.

"Her hair was slightly messy, and her tunic was a little crooked, and she was slouching the way her human mom used to tell her would turn her spine into a twisty pretzel if she didn't work on better posture. But mostly, she looked like her. A little awkward. A whole lot nervous. Definitely not perfect. And... she kinda loved that about it."

this is all we get to hear from her before keefe snatches the journal away, feeling awkward that she discovered it. but this set of inner monologue holds a lot more weight than you think.

a) i want to focus really quick on the 'definitely not perfect' line. this is a direct tie-in to fitz.

only a handful of pages later, fitz and sophie complete their "cognate inquisition". during this, sophie enters fitz's 'core of verity' which is supposed to hold no defense mechanisms or barriers. it is a true reflection of one's self. sophie, on her journey to this place, sees herself in the center of fitz's mind. but unlike the drawing keefe created, this sophie is polished. she's posing, flashing a smile, looking undefeated... and perfect, as she mentions. but while fitz means well with the image, this pedestal and the woman on top of it is not her. it's not accurate to who she is in real life.

so, for sophie to witness the difference between how the two boys view her is huge. they both do have deep affection for her, but the lens they view her from is different. keefe has a camera; fitz has a microscope.

b) most people would cringe to be drawn in such an accurate, "flawed" light. sophie isn't gazing into the sunset looking blissfully aloof. she's not posing for the camera. she's caught in what most would considering an unflattering position. she's hunched, she looks 'awkward' and 'nervous'. her hair is messy, her clothes are crooked...

i can tell you little to no one who would want to be caught like that by their crush. but sophie doesn't shy from having keefe not only seen her that way, but record it - no, she enjoys it. she feels happy to share that side of herself with him. she's glad he gets to see the imperfect person she is. 

that right there just proves multiple things to me: how long this love has run without her really knowing it, how ready she is to be open in a relationship, and how real this connection is to her.

sophie doesn't desire something movie-worthy with him. she wants something real.

bored? send me an ask!

bouta make a taglist i will add "amelia the __" (blanked out bc idk if it's a triggerword at all for u) to my lsit for u nd try my best to tag any reblogs//posts i make that have those in them !!! :hug: /p /cf

the fucking ants again...

Please never talk about or show us pictures of ants ever

I never want to see an ant again

they're both super good !!! i need to read ltsf again, i only read it through once-

i'm curious, kotlc/ltsf fans,

i don't think so !! terms and pronouns don't define ur gender !! and vice versa ! whatever u feel most comfortable as, whether that's transmasc, nonbinary, or anything else, is up to u !! ik that some people identify as nonbinary, but are still so chill with being called "woman" bc terms and pronouns aren't your gender your gender is you !! not the words used to describe you !! or at least, that's how i see it :3

is it like. a bad idea to come out as nonbinary when I like masculine terms and pronouns and want to present as a guy?

came across an acct made within the past 2 days based solely on hating on the osc the creator is a former member of the osc, but says bc of the trauma he experienced by being cyberbullied by members of the community, he left i'm not going to tag him, because that's going to give him a lot more clout than he deserves but i jsut wanna say: i understand trauma, and it's definitely a big thing if it means you can't enjoy something anymore, then it's sad, but it is what it is but hurting other people isn't going to heal you do you rlly think that hating on the osc and all of its members is going to bring some kind of better being about ? it's not going to fix anything object shows, ESPECIALLY ii, have tended to be a safe haven and comfort space for many people, esp those in the queer and neurodivergent communities hating someone you don't even know for having a special interest or hyperfixation on something that people who who hurt you also had an interest in is just continuing the cycle of abuse let people have their enjoyments and be nice everyone just be nice

HAiiii i was wondering if you were still taking rentry graphic requests? if not then just ignore this! can i have some blue and yellow four + x graphics please?
