Like I want to actively participate in the sharkboy and lavagirl fandom (I just watched the movie for the first time) but I STARTED RE-READING KEEPER OF THE LOST CITIES AND I NEED TO MAKE 5 ANIMATIONS YESTERDAY (I've started, but I just found my hero academia AMVs and THESE ARE SO AWESOME)
i want a kotlc book but it's in the neverseen's pov. and maybe some extra stories of them being silly.
please guys hear me out
literally I was listening to some music and BRO Duvet by Bōa is literally Sophie’s song
like actually, I’m flabbergasted
Wearing Each Other’s Clothes- flufftober prompt!
—
A soft melody sounded out from a record player, causing the girl to hum as she flipped the page of her book.
Sophie sat in the windowsill of her room, entranced to the novel she started only hours before. It had become somewhat of a habit, when things got too much for her, Sophie would retreat to the safety of her room to decompress. And, oh, how that strategy always seemed to work.
Fortunately, this wasn’t one of those times where she was overwhelmed. She’d just woken up on the wrong side of the bed, in a way. However, to combat the annoying problem at hand, Sophie recalled some things Dex had told her.
“If you ever need to calm down, just do something you like. I always play Animal Crossing when I get overwhelmed.” Dex stated, munching on a candy bar. “Like, I’m typically a Mortal Kombat kind of guy, but sometimes I don’t need to stress about beating some character in a game, y’know?”
He was right. It kind of ticked Sophie off, a bit. Dex had a way with being right about the most obvious things, yet Sophie still needed a flashing light in her face to even get clue!
Anyway, she took his advice.
Eda had come up to check on her, since she hadn’t said much when Sophie came down to eat breakfast. She was worried, that much was clear, and Sophie appreciated it. The blonde had explained via note that she needed to have some “me-time” before she became a functional member of society again. And like the Angel she is, Edaline completely understood.
“Okay honey! Text me if you need anything, I love you!” She wrote in reply.
Sophie smiled at the words, sliding an “I love you” note back under the door before returning to her perch.
Another detail that made all the difference, was what she was wearing. The baggy sweatshirt was normal, but it wasn’t hers. You see, this particular hoodie belonged to her boyfriend, Keefe. They’ve been dating for months, six months almost. But this was the first time Sophie ever unconsciously wore something of Keefe’s. At least, until she finally noticed.
She’d remembered another thing Dex said, about eating comfort food and wearing comfort clothes. Sophie hadn’t really understood at the time, but she was starting to now.
Sophie was in the middle of a paragraph when she recognized a smell. One of vanilla and coffee. Sophie sniffed the air, wondering if her boyfriend had somehow managed to sneak another personalized air-freshener into her room, when she looked down. The hoodie itself was a midnight blue with some light-colored wording. Sophie sniffed again, and it was stronger.
She was a bit confused, any other day Sophie would have surely noticed the change of clothing. Perhaps it was because of the weird feeling she’d had all day, putting her into a slight funk. Or maybe, Dex was right, and clothing could bring comfort.
She didn’t have long to think about it before her door was being knocked upon. A familiar tune, something that a certain someone always used to be endearing. The blonde had half a mind to ignore it and continue reading, as she was still down in the dumps. But, she also remembered how dejected Keefe looked the last time she left him waiting outside like a stray.
With a sigh, Sophie reluctantly sat up and walked over to the door, her feet dragging as her body felt heavy like cement. Opening the door, Sophie couldn’t help but feel her heartbeat speed up for a second.
Keefe stood there with a goofy grin, armed with bags of what Sophie could only assume were snacks. However, her attention was attracted to Keefe’s shirt.
Or, more specifically, her shirt.
It fit nicely on him, despite his lengthy frame. Sophie silently thanked her past-self for always picking bigger sizes of shirts.
Suddenly, there was a tap on her shoulder, and Sophie looked up. Keefe, in all his glory, smiled down at her and lifted a brow.
“You good, Foster?” He asked, and Sophie quickly had the realization that he’d been speaking the entire time.
Clearing her throat, Sophie mustered up a pathetic “yes” in response.
Keefe hummed, nodding and then gesturing to her room. “May I come in, my lady?” He requested in a terrible British accent.
“Ha, yeah.” Sophie huffed out a laugh, moving to let him through the door. “Do my parents know you’re here?”
“If you mean Mrs. Ruewen, yes. If you’re talking about Mr. Macho Man himself, then no. Pretty sure you’re Mom said something about him feeding the bulls in the pasture…?”
Sophie smiled and rolled her eyes, the petty little feud between her boyfriend and her Dad had been long-standing, since before they even got together. Grady wasn’t very appreciative of Keefe’s troublemaker and carefree attitude, and Keefe just loves pushing other people’s buttons. So, clearly, it was a recipe for disaster.
Sophie closed the door, sauntering up beside Keefe as he laid out all the snacks on the bed.
“Hey.” She muttered, looking up to his eyes.
“Hi.” He replied back, his eyes crinkling as he smiled at her.
Again, Sophie’s heart rate sped up a little. She wasn’t embarrassed, she just, always felt floaty when Keefe looked at her. Especially with such a warm expression.
“What’re you doing here?” Sophie asked, sitting next to the pile of food on the bed.
Keefe puffed up, his face turning every shade but chivalrous. “Well, a little birdie told me you weren’t having a good day. And, since I’m a loving boyfriend and loyal partner, I took it upon myself to try and make you’re day a bit better. So, ta da!”
Sophie nodded in response, unwrapping a small Snickers and popping it into her mouth.
“A little birdie?”
“Jolie and Amy.” He admitted, with no hesitation. “Two little birdies then, I guess. But, they were worried and figured that, me being me, I could cheer you up the best.”
She smiled, swallowing the candy and standing up. “That’s nice. Thank you, Keefe.”
On her tip-toes, Sophie pecked the taller’s lips, already feeling much better than before. Still a bit gloomy, though.
Keefe didn’t waste any time, however. In one swift motion, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed a soft kiss to Sophie’s lips. Recovering from the shock quickly, Sophie returned the gesture and embraced him, her arms around his neck.
“Mm, you’re lips taste like chocolate.” Keefe points out, licking his lips and glancing up, as if to savor it.
Sophie smiled, a thing she seems to do a lot around him. “Yeah? Well, you smell really good, so.”
“Really? You like it? I got it from Linh, she said it matched my vibe, or something.”
She was right, vanilla and coffee really worked with Keefe’s personality.
“Anyway, is that my shirt?” Sophie asks, bluntly.
“Huh? Oh, yeah! I found it in my bag, must’ve gotten mixed in last time I was here. I actually started listening to these guys. Green Day, right? Yeah, they’re pretty good.” Keefe rambled.
It was one of things Sophie loved about him. His ability to just, talk. She also felt warm because, well, he started listening to one of her favorite bands! Just because of a shirt!
Quickly, Sophie pecked his lips again and then untangled herself from him.
“Feel better?” He inquired, blinking over at her.
“A little. Wanna watch a movie?”
“Heck yeah, lemme make some room real quick.” Keefe shoved the snacks into the plastic bags, setting them on the nightstand and hopping onto the bed.
Sophie brought her laptop over, as well as a weighted blanket and a fluffy one.
“Thank ya darlin.” Keefe teased in a country accent.
Sophie giggled and sat down, pulling the blanket over her and passing the other to Keefe, who gladly wrapped himself up in it. She opened the computer and thought about what to watch.
A few minutes later and they decide on A Nightmare Before Christmas, one movie they both could watch endlessly.
Keefe wrapped an arm around Sophie, pulling her closer and nuzzling his face into her hair. Her face heated up a bit at the affection, she was still getting used to it. Despite the length of their relationship, Sophie was still adjusting to physical affection. Though, she got over the embarrassment of it, now it was just feeling flustered.
“Oh, also..” Keefe spoke up. “That hoodie looks really good on you.”
Almost instantly, Sophie’s face exploded into a overheated mess of a red.
Okay, maybe she was still a little embarrassed.
@flufftober
hey guys here’s some outfit headcanons for kotlc characters!!
I’m writing a modern au fanfic and I made these on a whim soooooooo here ya go🤞
actually I may need some assistance with deciding who listens to who so please offer some suggestions 💀🙏🙏
I’m Dex Dizznee’s biggest fan actually☝️
I just think bitchy Dex needs to make a comeback like-
He was honestly so iconic in the first book when he literally made Stina BALD🤭💀
literally because he needs to get hit get back
you know what Fitz is giving me guys?
Sassy man apocalypse
like
You know what I mean🙂
We know what you are, Fitzroy Avery Vacker
y’all why doesn’t Sophie look like the exhausted girl failure she lowkey was in the first book😭
She was repping all the tired girlies 🤞🤞
Give me depressed Sophie Foster or give me death 💀
just thinking abt how in a modern setting Keefe would most definitely get one of those Tesla cybertrucks and think he was the shit
Like that one tiktok audio💀
Dex would be flabbergasted and refuse to talk to him
“There’s no way ur being fr Keefe, what in hell r u driving”
“You know it’s the new Tesla cyber truck, got it from my boy Elon”
“You ain’t KICKIN IT with Elon”
I believe in Sophie Foster getting the Percy Jackson treatment and just going absolutely batshit anytime one of her loved ones are in danger
Also just
Her not takin anybody’s shit after the 75th time someone tries her
Like I can imagine her punching the fuck outta somebody at Foxfire because they insulted Biana’s shoes 💀
Or even her dropkicking some kid cause they looked at her friends the wrong way
I just need deranged, sleep-deprived, unhinged Sophie who holds grudges like they’re candy
this user recognizes the faults of keefe sencen, that he is not a perfect person nor a perfect character, and that he is nonetheless likable and not a bad guy and also, like, 15
kotlc fans should be called "keepers".
you agree.
reblog.
Look, after a hard separation, I am very much okay with the fact that Keeper of The Lost Cities is not that good of a book, and falling off the bandwagon ends is sad, but objectively not my fault.
But like- I can't stop thinking about it.
Elvin babies come out talking. So like... do you prepare talking points?
Baby Jolie: Hello Father
Grady *panicking*: What's your favourite colour?
Baby Jolie *deadpan*: Rebellion
Things I've always wondered about in Keeper of the Lost Cities: Part 2
ID Dates. Remember when there was that random conversation in the middle of Neverseen and Forkle was like 'Oh, you're not actually 13 you're 14 because in elf we start counting life at conception. Birthdays? tf are those, we have ID dates which have no actual purpose.' And at first I thought this was just a poorly executed move to narrow the age difference and speed up Sophie's dating life, but re-reading it, the implication is that elves are pro-life, because the argument for that is that life begins at conception. I'm not sure if it was inadvertent or not, but does this mean elves are anti abortion? And does this mean Shannon Messenger is pro-life too? IDK, not sure how I feel about this one.
How can they not notice Oralie is Sophie's biological mum if they have both of their DNA?
Everything about abilities manifesting. Average age is 12-15 right? Imagine if when you manifested your voice cracked. That would 100% make the book better.
Tam and Linh's hair dye. Namely where do I get this stuff. But also...it's molten silver. Surely it would just burn off their hair. Imagine them attempting to make their super powerful statement and ending up with a pile of burnt hair mixed with goopy silver and Linh trying not to laugh while Tam stews.
Things I've always wondered about in Keeper of the Lost Cities
Foxfire's school hours. It's well established that elves live across the globe, and with light leaping it's not hard to travel, but like, if they live all around the world, they all live in different time zones. So some kids would go to school when it's dark at home. How do they decide when? It's not talked about at all in the books and this annoys me a lot. Is there Elvin Standard Time?
I know that they make a big point in the books that they have no Human prejudices but I think that clearly they do. Everyone's a little weirded out by the fact that Sophie wears pAnTs and doesn't like dresses or glitter (which is scandalous and totally not common for millions of girls around the world) and clearly they don't have any boys who wear dresses or girls who shave their heads. All the girls and boys conform to stereotypically gendered forms of beauty. No muscular girls. No fat characters. No short boys. No feminine girls. No trans or gender neutral characters. What's up with that?
On that note it really feels like Shannon Messenger is becoming J K Rowling just a little. There are no openly gay or queer characters after eight and a half books so something smells a little funky there.
The crystal palaces. Where do they get all that crap from? There's a reason these are precious stones.
The nobility. Everyone acts like it's super exclusive but like, there has to be one mentor for each kid at Foxfire, because classes are individual, and there has to be hundreds of kids. So there's hundreds of nobility whose only job is to teach kids. Not even go on missions or emissary work or whatever.
This is just edition one everyone strap yourselves in.
me!

ATTENTION
Even if you don’t enjoy the style, or there’s that detail that you don’t like, or just don’t support the ship, think of the person who drew this. How long did it take them to add the shading, or get the arm position to look natural? People put a lot of work into their artwork. I don’t care if you aren’t a fan of plasmashipping, or you don’t love the hairstyle Harry has.
An actual person on the other side of the screen spent the time and effort to post this for everyone else to appreciate, so APPRECIATE IT. Show them their hard work wasn’t put to waste. Give them the attention and support they deserve. Hit that like button, comment what you think, reblog this masterpiece.
