Alright so l saw a few people on the internet saying that Sophie Foster is a pick me because she doesn't like make up ,gowns,or anything figuratively feminine.STOPP.I am on full fledged mamma bear mode.Because,pick me is a term used to describe someone,a girl in most cases (i think)who puts down other girls or claims that she is different, to get more attention(from guys.)And Sophie Foster is nothing like that.Sure she doesn't like to wear gowns because she doesn't feel comfortable in them.And come on if you have to wear a 3-5kg gown everyday,every hour of the day,then you would be uncomfortable too.The other elves in the series don't mind it that much because they have always lived like that,and those who feel uncomfortable switch to tunics like Sophie did,and there is nothing wrong with that.You should wear what you are comfortable in.About accessories and makeup,it's clearly stated that Sophie hates make up and fancy accessories(dramatic pause) because she doesn't want to stand out.Sophie has always been uncomfortable with attention (till the last two books)and just wants to blend in with the crowd.She doesn't like the attention that comes with dressing up, because she doesn't want to stand out.And another thing,Sophie never criticised other girls for dressing up.She never put them down to get attention.Like she doesn't think it's WRONG to dress up or attract the crowd.For example,Sophie has always admired Biana for her fashion sense and beauty tho they both have very different styles.Sophie respects Biana's fashion and doesn't judge her for being girly nor does she EVER compare herself to other girls in a narcissistic manner to prove how different she is from "other girls."She is NOT a pick me and DOES NOT give "l'm not like these other girls at all" vibes.Thank you.

there's so much tension in the main gang that i feel like isn't being addressed. the foxfire lunch scene specifically where they chose to sit on either sophie or stina's side of the table feels very intentional, not to mention linh and tam arguing, sophitz trouble, etc

overall, imo many of their friendships are pretty strained at this point, especially sophie's friendships since she barely talks to biana, marella, linh, and maruca, despite them being considered her friends

anyway, my point is, i need to see shit go down in book 10. the main gang has a huge fight, they all confront and yell at each other for an hour to get everything off their chests. maybe they don't speak to each other for while after the fight

but halfway thru the book, they make it up to each other, hug it out, and maybe actually hang out as regular teens for a bit. then they figure out the neverseen's plans and have a big showdown with the neverseen or whatever. i feel like this would genuinely solve a lot of their friendship problems and help everyone in the main gang be included

*note: by main gang i mean sophie, keefe, fitz, biana, tam, marella, linh, dex, maruca, and stina

If i see one more person call Sophie mutha fuckin Elizabeth Foster a "marry sue" or diss her in any way I'm going to lose my shit.

You don't have to like her but don't talk about her god damn character if you ain't even know it. Like are you even reading the book? DO YOU UNDERSTAND HER AT ALL?

Homegirl has been through a lot, even before Fitz basically ripped her life by the roots and tossed her into a new world without warning.

How about you fucking think what your life would look like if you had thought constantly blaring into your mind, being bullied because you're too "smart" or stupid shit like being a geek. Imagine hearing how your family REALLY thinks about you, all. The. Fucking. Time.

Imagine being so scared to stand out more than you already do that your whole fashion and personality is shaped around being bland and boring. Imagine only having a damn cat to comfort you because you couldn't hear it's thoughts (which in actuality she probably did which I'll talk about later).

Imagine a cute guy changes your world, you get new parents and then they cancel the adoption, then you get fucking KIDNAPPED. WITH YOUR ONLY FRIEND ON TOP OF THAT.

Survive almost dying right after being kidnapped and realize you have more abilities that make you stand out EVEN MORE IN A WORLD THAT YOUR SUPPOSEDLY SUPPOSED TO FIT PERFECTLY IN WITH.

Then over the course of the next three years have your friends risk their lives after you BEGGED AND PLEADED WITH THEM TO NOT BE STUPID. On top of all that, y'know all the ADULTS trying to kill you and the "actually good guys" telling you to be a leader (but actually just need you as a damn puppet), you have normal teenage drama?

4 FUCKING YEARS OF TRAUMA AND GUILT AND DEATH AND DESTRUCTION. AND Y'ALL CALL HER A DAMN MAREY SUE AND SHES "so basic" OR "she's kinda bratty" OR, OH THIS ONES JUST SO FUCKING GREAT! "She risks all her friends lives"

Y'all. I swear. Don't talk about a character if you can't even BEGIN to understand them.

You don't gotta like em, but don't you DARE try to talk about em like you know em. Ugh.

Anyways, #sophiedeservessomeloveandtherapy!

what if in the lost cities, everyone is beautiful, not because of them looking like models in human standards but because they're all living beings with thoughts and emotions and everyone looking different is a good thing because it highlights them all being different people with thier own personalities, beauty isn't defined by a checkbox for them.

can we talk about the fact that Amy is canonically chubby???? and that's Sophie's entire human family is also chubby??? and it's never described in a condescending or disgusted way????? because that just makes me very happy, and also I need art of Amy where she's actually chubby

Y’all,,, you know how I barely ever post/reblog stuff? Well that ends now. The blog you see here is going to be the blog I reblog every single last good kotlc art/fanfic I come across. So if you want your dash filled to the brim with arts and fics follow me 😔 My own art and fics will be kept on @fabulous-fan-fables and I’ll only reblog a few things there. I just have a fear my personal stuff will be lost in the Sea of Art and Good Fics and I still want y’all to see that stuff :/

Wait am I the only one who imagined Cassius Sencen with long hair? And specifically I imagine him as Lucius Malfoy in the Harry Potter films. My mom imagines the same?? Anyone else like this??
