Things I notice about our favorite perfect Wonderboy,
(And yes Im gonna be dramatic abt this)
Call him rude names I dare u
But yes I do acknowledge he does have anger issues and that it is borderline concerning if he were to ever enter another relationship he may need to consider handling his emotions and anger better
I see comments on pinterest (cuz its all I ever use tbh) that heās manipulative of Sophieās feelings and I donāt know about this and there are times I think he has done that but I think it isnāt intentional and he would never mean to hurt Sophie in that kind of way
Alvar really pisses him off thatās for certain
I think in his early life (before Sophie) he has depended on Keefe for emotional support and so has Keefe so I definitely see the bromance
Most noticeably heās more hung on about Cognates than anything really and Alvar
He actually does care what people think of him
And yes, before no he didnāt but thatās before he started blaming himself for permanently destroying his familyās reputation and respect
His family is a huge huge deal in the Lost Cities and to be tarnished due to Aldenās secret research, Alvar being part of the Neverseen, his two other children running away to join a rebellious group (as far as the publicās aware), being the only two Vacker children who ever attended Exillium, and the freaking Legacy; there was definitely a toll on him
Which is why he thought it was best he wouldnāt marry an Unmatchable in order to restore the family name
But Sophie going against Cognate stuff and not telling him who her mother was also had an effect in their relationship break
And that Sophie was really slowing the pace of their relationship
Which I donāt blame her for btw none of us really can
He loves his family but damn is their legacy a pain in the ass
Insult Sophie in front of him I dare u
Headcannon that he goes to his sister for love advice on how to help their relationship and sheās more involved than sheās comfortable with
Anger issues. Major major anger issues
Really really doesnāt watch what he says when heās angry
His dad really spoiled him (Iām sorry but I dont think I like him very much)
Maybe a tad bit egotistical with him being the earliest to manifest (before) and being a very powerful Technopath at a very young age and ofc heās a Vacker
He might as well have been the rich extroverted student council president of the school
And yes some of these arenāt very positive descriptions which is why Iāll end it with
Heās loyal. Incredibly loyal. His family, his friends, his Cognate, if theyāre in trouble, expect heāll be there for you when it counts; you might expect him to be really blunt and hurtful at times but he really doesnāt mean any harm and he does genuinely care about the people he loves and he makes it up to them even going as far as near-death which is most I can say for some people
Final Note: A perfect Wonderboy with a not-so-perfect soul is usually what I think of him. There are good qualities here and there and everyone has bad spirits in them and Fitz is no exception to that. Before I said pressure was Dexās problem, Fitz doesnāt look so much affected by this because heās been pressured all his life. Grades, appearance, his dad, everything really so heās used to it.
Heāll have cause to reconsider his emotional issues eventually but to hate him so passionately I believe isnāt fair. But that does not mean I will not be defending his wrongdoings because he has made some mistakes but heās also done just as much good. He stuck with Sophie when she had trouble fitting in, watching from a distance to make sure she wasnāt harmed and also allowing her to find her place in Foxfire (others believe he just up and abandoned her as a mission completed sorta thing when she arrived but I donāt think thatās the case), he was willing to risk his life to involve himself in dangerous missions and that was even before he realized Alvar was involved with the Neverseen
He WiLl RiSk His LifE For SoPhie And HiS Loved OneS So No HAtE ThAtS aCtuAllY ReAllY GooDā
