#dad!keefe

had to draw them as one of my favorite memes

[book-lover85]

Sophie holding Keefe while he's sleeping (he was exhausted and she's making sure he gets sleep) and Grady walks in on them

he's about to freak out but she shushes him agresssively because Keefe needs sleep and looks at him worriedly to make sure he's still asleep

Grady looks at both of them and his eyes soften before he walks up and gives Sophie a kiss on the forehead and Keefe a gentle shoulder squeeze and tells Sophie she should get some sleep too

Man I need someone to write a fanfiction of Sophie and her gang of delinquents to go back in time (somehow) and have them all meet their parents. I need to see Cassius be EXACTLY like Keefe and I need to read how he changes during the fanfiction because of the bullying he got from home and at school. Please and thank you.

everyday i mourn the relationship keefe and his dad couldve had if cassius had decided to include him in the human stuff

What if Fintan is Sophie’s dad and then he kills someone close to Sophie like Fitz or Keefe and then she kills him and in his dying breath he tells her the truth

Hear me out guys... Gethen being Sophie's bio dad has some pretty solid evidence once you think about it.

In Legacy Cassius makes a comment on how Sophie uses her telepathy (and just how she acts in general, tending to think using her heart/emotions first in situations) and says that she acts a lot like an empath. He also mentioned how during the matchmaking process, telepaths are more often than not paired with empaths than any other Talent because of how well they go together (pretty sure this was Shannon telling us something) saying that he wouldn't be surprised if the black swan had one of her parents be an empath, and the other a telepath.

Later on in legacy we figure out who Sophie's bio mom is (no spoilers for those who haven't read that far yet), and she ends up being an empath, no surprise there, so that just leaves the dad.

If we go by Cassius' logic (one of the few times I will ever utter this phrase) then her father must be a telepath. Let's go through the list of known Telepaths (excluding those who were still minors at the time of Sophie's conception (because elves go by conception date instead of birth date)). *Spoiler warning below*

Kenric and Alden are both immediately out, Kenric for obvious reasons, and Alden because, as was stated in Neverseen, if Alden was the father, it would have made Fitz and Sophie half siblings, and the black swan would've shut that situation down before it even had the time to properly grow.

Mr. Forkle also said he wasn't the father, and I'm assuming he meant both of the Forkle twins. We can also rule out Tiergan because, looking at the official art, he looks nothing like Sophie. Prentice, Emery and Quinlin are also out for the same reason as Tiergan (Also Emery is Oralie's coworker so that couldn't work), with all three of them being described with dark skin.

This leaves Gethen. He looks the most like her in appearance: He is described as having straight blonde hair. Blonde hair is a recessive gene so it makes sense for Sophie to have blonde hair if both her bio parents have blonde hair. Secondly, he has straight hair. This is important because Oralie has ringlet curls, and curls are a dominant trait so if Sophie's bio dad had curly hair then she would, at the very least have more curly hair than the current wavy look in the official art and book description, implying that one of her parents has to have straight hair.

Lastly, it would add to the similarities that Sophie and Keefe have. If This were true then: 1 they'd both have an evil parent apart of the Neverseen (Gethen and Gisela), 2 they both have parents in a high position of power in Elvin society and instead of using that to try to change the bad things they personally don't like about the society they instead conform to it (Oralie and Cassius), 3 both of their parents are shitty, 4 they both have a complicated relationship with their perspective "less shitty, but still relatively shitty parents" (again, Oralie and Cassius), 5. Both of their less terrible parents are empaths, and 6. Both of their respective parents (minus Cassius, that one's complicated but I'm too tired to go into full detail tonight) experimented/genetically modified/let someone else experiment on/genetically modify their kid for a "greater cause".

So in conclusion... I'm 90% sure that Gethen is the bio dad. It's either that or some character we've never met until book 10. Or Shannon'll never reveal it. Either way, thanks for coming to my Ted talk about who the bio father of a fictional character is.

so interesting that in chapters 12 + 13 of unraveled keefe and cassius don’t just respond to what each other are saying but speak directly to the others emotions. through the whole conversation keefe takes 90% of his cues from cassius’s unspoken feelings and cassius does the same. we get to see what keefes conversational style looks like with the right partner; keefe picks up and addresses the other persons emotions because to him (and other empaths) conversations happen on two levels: the spoken and unspoken. it’s the kind of conversation only two empaths could have and i wish we could see more of that unique kind of communicating

[camelspit]

no way the solution is a pebble in his shoe thats so funny.. giggling

[bookwyrminspiration]

maybe it’s just me but I don’t think Keefe had anything to apologize for when he asked Sophie to stay away in stellarlune. that’s the most logical, safest, comfortable choice for all involved. he had new abilities he couldn’t control, Sophie exacerbated that, so no more sophie temporarily. not his fault sophie got butthurt and felt like he didn’t want to be her friend anymore, which is so obviously an irrational feeling on her part. Keefe take your apology back rn

on the fathers trip and jt closing in on 1000 points

[synonymroll648]

do you think keefe knows too much about the publishing industry from his dad bitching about it?

[book-lover85]

Sophie looks into Cassius' memories and she sees a scene where Keefe is jumping up and down next to him and he asks if Cassius can pick him up and carry him

Cassius looks at Keefe (who's like 4) and begrudgingly picks him up and lays his head on his shoulder

and in the memory you can hear Keefe sigh in contentment and Cassius can feel Keefe's emotions and he's ecstatic like this kid is so happy that his dad is giving him attention

and Sophie just starts crying while Cassius rolls his eyes

HELP I LOST SOMEONES POST. CAN YOU GUYS HELP ME FIND THEM?! IT WAS A POST ABOUT “something something How Elwin would feel about the health insurance”.

[banpaiiya]

he is so CATTY

[emeraldspiral]

I was literally just talking to my friend a few days about about an invader zim wicked AU but we were kinda being funny about it and were like "instead of zim being elphaba, dib is elphaba and instead of green skin he's hated for his big head"

Lmao!

I guess if you think about it, IZ already has Dib and Zim in similar roles to Elphaba and the Wizard. Like, Zim is a charlatan pretender who constantly lies and plays into everyone's existing prejudice against Dib for his paranormal obsession to discredit him or frame him for shit. In the last episode he even succeeds in building a cult following by pretending to be Santa and then turns the entire earth against Dib by pinning the blame on him for ruining Xmas.

Keef is Glinda because he wants to be friends with Dib and Zim at the same time and wants them to be friends with each other and can't comprehend Dib's moral objections.
