i do think it is a bit sus that so many die-hard sokeefe stans are also sophie haters at the same time. because like. that just shows that they’re not actually fans of sokeefe. they just like keefe, and the fact that sophie is the main character means that she obviously has to choose him because that proves to these people that their favorite guy is superior to fitz or whatever the fuck they want to claim. they do not actually care about sophie, which is weird considering she is half of this ship. they only want her to end up with keefe because keefe likes her, and since he’s everyone’s favorite he obviously “deserves” to get what he wants right????

ALT. STYLE DEX WEEK:

I’ve decided to host an Alternate Style Dex week this June 14th through the 20th! While art will probably be the easiest way to depict the prompts, any form of expression is welcome. I think music recommendations especially will be epic. So even if you’re not particularly artistic or don’t have time, we can make an Alt. Dex Dizznee Playlist together. I’ve never hosted something like this, but I think the easiest way for me to repost all of your stuff would be for you guys to tag something as #AltDexWeek. If you want to add a song to a playlist, please tag it as #AltDexPlaylist. The prompts are not super specific in what should be included that way people can also depict any number of characters and ships!

- Sunday, June 14th: Emo Dex; as defined by Punk Design, emo fashion is a distinctive and expressive style that has evolved over the years, much like the closely associated music genre, known for its dark, emotional, and individualistic aesthetic.

- Monday, June 15th: Goth Dex; Goth Fashion, as defined by Fashion Gone Rogue, is characterized by dark, dramatic clothing inspired by Victorian and medieval styles. It highlights black fabrics, bold makeup, and unique accessories, including corsets, long skirts, and flowing coats.

- Tuesday, June 13th: Punk Dex; Punk fashion, as defined by Goelia, seeks to challenge traditional norms and pursue individual expression, which allows for a great deal of freedom and creativity in the fashion world.

- Wednesday, June 14th: Dex and Tam; Tam is canonically viewed as emo although he just seems to like the color black. I felt the need to represent him and Dex this week.

- Thursday, June 15th: Dex in a style you haven’t mastered; experiment with a different art style, writing style, or even try something new all together. If you’ve been drawing and want to write, try it!! It doesn’t matter if it is “good.”

- Friday, June 16th: Dex in Your favorite aesthetic; Alternative fashion, at its heart, is a statement against conformity. While oftentimes it gets boiled down into emo or goth or punk, any intentional way of dressing CAN be counter cultural.

- Saturday, June 17th: Dex in Green; In KOTLC, green is the color of death, not black. This spiraled into a running joke/bit that Dex is actually emo due to technopaths association with the color green.

The only things I don’t welcome for this challenge will be AI-Generated Content of any kind, or NSFW content as the character is question is a minor.

My beautiful sweet daughter who has never done anything wrong ever

[the-way-astray]

i’ve definitely said this before somewhere but keefe and fitz in canon were never really actually close friends? “bring back keefitz friendship!” what friendship? their “friendship” is so surface level and always has been. flashback confirms that fitz didn’t even know about keefe’s shitty personal life before the events of the main series. like let that sink in. it’s fully possible sophie, who met keefe when he was thirteen, found out about keefe’s abusive parents before fitz, who met and supposedly befriended keefe at eleven. keefe admits that he was jealous of fitz’s non-abusive family from the start and never said anything about it because he wanted to pretend that his family life was as perfect as fitz’s. and it goes the other way too, because clearly keefe has no sympathy for all the pressure fitz is under, and he sees him as nothing but perfect, and he resents him for it, so fitz is not opening up to him either. i need people to understand that these two were never friends in any meaningful way. just because they played base quest and made boobrie jokes together does not make them best friends like are we kidding right now. need i remind you that these two were supposedly “best friends” for two. years. before the events of the main series and yet they did not understand (and in keefe’s case, still doesn’t understand) what the other was going through. two years and fitz had no inkling keefe had abusive parents? two years (and counting) and keefe had no idea that being a vacker isn’t the perfect life everyone makes it out to be? and these two are “best friends” please you have got to be kidding me. just because they refer to each other as best friends does not make them best friends, that’s just unreliable narration (unintentional on shannon’s part but who gaf about that). “bring back keefitz friendship” what friendship. keefe doesn’t even like fitz, and seemingly never has. i don’t think he’s canonically said even one genuinely nice thing about fitz that’s not backhanded in some way or sympathized, truly sympathized, with anything he’s gone through even once in the entire series. but he does think and say a lot of downright mean things about him, with nothing positive to balance his supposed “teasing”

yummy collab with @bluetbluish

[castleofravens]

i have seen WAY too many people acting like fitz asking keefe for a painting for sophie was like.. a shitty move even though ?? 1) we have no evidence suggesting that fitz knew keefe liked sophie too, 2) it’s actually very logical like if he’s not as great at art he’s obviously gonna ask his best friend who’s a good artist for help, 3) he and sophie were LITERALLY DATING ??

[fintan-pyren]

Some fans act as though they think Fitz had zero interest in Sophie and was only dating her so that Keefe couldn't.

[deardajeong]

i'm going to (remembers joking about suicide isn't good for you) stop pushing buttons (remembers this isn't something i should just admit) but look at him it's our brother (remembers i'm justified in my actions against people who have wronged me even if they're family) eh whatever (remembers i have a crush on a blonde girl) what if i told her i stopped

how did the elves from kotlc make humans not being around to save the dinosaurs seem like a character flaw

[daydream-draws]

happy valentines gay !!!

[toastghost85]

kotlc rare pairing: fitz and linh

they both have so many emotions that they are forced to keep inside and bottle up. also theres like a little bit of basis for it in neverseen sophie was jealous of how fitz looked at/ interacted with linh. how much of that was her insecurity is up for debate but.

Fitz and Linh :D

This was so fun to render yall omfg

[Gethen's] gaze shifted to Alvar. “Perhaps I’m trying to see if we recruited the wrong Vacker.”

for day 5: fluff/angst of fitz week 2025, titled The Wrong Vacker. i got this commissioned from kkelsey__spring on instagram. she was great to work with, and the piece came out so beautiful! it was really important to capture the emotion and tension in fitz's expression, and she did it perfectly.

this piece is meant to depict fitz in book 7: flashback (with some creative liberties taken because it's been a while since i've read it) during the confrontation between him and alvar towards the end of the book. i really wanted to capture the duality of fitz's anger and grief stacked against his morals and upbringing — the dark trees surrounding him, everglen distant and unreachable, attire befitting of a true vacker while a dagger gleams in his hand. the tears running down his face, the anger in his eyes, his traitor brother in front of him, the vacker legacy within reach, the pressure of being the golden boy. that kind of external vs. internal battle is my favorite thing about fitz's character, and i wanted to capture that here.

for day 4: family of fitz week 2025!! some of you may have seen the original ask i sent @bookwyrminspiration about this commission idea, which is what this commission was based on. i got this commissioned from microplaid on instagram, and they did such an amazing job with it. i'm in love with how it turned out! the vacker siblings' dynamics are some of my favorite in the entire series, and i just think it's so interesting and reveals so much about their characters.

in case there's any confusion, the order from top to bottom is biana, alvar, and fitz. i'm going to include the original photo the pose was based on under the cut.
