bruh i have had this figured out for years and years keefe sencen's style is pop punk and sk8r boi soft grunge
this but with more colors
like he'd be all over putting pastels and dark colors together and i feel like light wash jeans and a deep red shirt and then also i can see him with hot pink band t-shirts and his hair messy and he's layering jewelry because it's comforting and reminds him of his home crystal and stuff and then he's accessorizing to the MAX with rings and bracelets and pins and and he's getting tons of his clothes from the free bins in garage sales because bro is broke af etc etc
Okay, follow-up question on the Keefe outfit. What do you guys WANT him to be wearing? Or think he should be wearing? Show me some pictures.
#keefe sencen#kotlc#kotlc keefe#thoughts#like he's FINE in the official art don't get me wrong#but it's not giving...... keefe sencen#it's giving fitz vacker respectfully

if i may ask, who the fuck is fitz vacker?
This is a delightful ask to receive as someone known for being vocally unwell about and obsessed with Fitz
For those new/following for other things, a fair chunk of my blog is dedicated to the Keeper of the Lost Cities series by Shannon Messenger, a middle grade sparkly elf dystopia series that crawled into my head when I was 12 and still holds me hostage. I've literally been called a walking kotlc encyclopedia on multiple occasions
One of the main characters is Fitzroy Avery Vacker (official art linked), a teenage telepath from the secret elven world's most prominent (but not royal, that's not a thing) family. He's known for having teal eyes and the MCs undying ardor, which she conceals not at all.
He's the golden boy--top of his class, incredibly rare ability (the telepathy), charming, handsome, prestigious family, the works. But! He's also been sent on illegal missions to the human world by his father since childhood, looking for the MC.
Throughout the series he's drawn further into rebellion, following the MC as she uncovers the dirt under the shine of their "utopia." But even amongst friends, that Wonderboy status continues, creating this tension between the prestige he's been showered and burdened with his whole life and its slow unraveling. What worth does being golden have if the whole system's rigged? But how can he let go of all he's ever been?
And how the hell do you process that? He's got an incredibly strong sense of justice, values trust above all else--and his world and the people close to him are breaking it. How can he do anything but lash out, desperate to recenter himself?
To the point the Golden Boy, who bakes for his friends and has a sparkly red stuffed dragon he can't sleep without, nearly kills his traitorous brother with a knife to the throat. To the point when his traitorous brother is trapped behind glass, suffocating liquid pouring in from Fitz's frantic smashing at the control panel, Fitz deliberately steps away. Because he knows one of the buttons probably opens a drain, and he's choosing to let him die by his doing. Even though it wasn't on purpose. even though elves cannot abide violence, and risk shattering their sanity even witnessing it
GOD I love him. he's everything everyone else wants to be, he's deeply jealous and constantly fighting it, he's sweet and thoughtful, he's full of a rage so profound he can't think straight, he's putting his life on the line to better the world, he can't quite let go of what he thought it was, he's everything 2 me.

^ me w the vacker brothers btw . also the fedex was cute as hell
man i dont have the words 2 describe how i feel abt that last chapter but killign the hockey officials with my bare hands 💥💥💥
ALSOOO . was wondering if u have visual references for The Guys™ for research purposes ofc!!!!!
Fhfhfhfhfh I’m glad you understand the vibes bc that image is me at all times with them.
Anyway the true hockey fan experience, having unimaginable amounts of beef with the referees <333
And I do not have a ton of visual references these are the only two bits of art I’ve done with the hockey au unfortunately but!
My college try at rough descriptions of the dudes, let me know if you want anyone in particular:
Dex - tall lanky dude, built a little like a scarecrow with a mix between strawberry and blonde hair. Freckles very nearly everywhere, like blue eyes with a hint of purple, pale skin that burns at the hint of sun
Fitz- a bit more compact than Dex, shorter than average and is more built for speed. He has dark brown hair that he usually styles into a swoop of sorts but it doesn’t always behave, bronze skin
Keefe - generic blonde Keefe design, taller than Fitz but barely and is built a bit leaner from getting into figure skating, has less hockey bulk
Alvar - he’s slightly taller and broader than Fitz is, has skin a shade lighter than Fitz’s and dark brown eyes. The same color hair as Fitz but styled someone differently (cannot describe guy hair for the life of me, perhaps something a bit looser?)
Tam - he’s a few inches shorter than Dex but a bit broader, is pretty physically dense and just looks strong in appearance, dark hair with choppy ish bangs.

:D I have plenty
Kotlc is boring. The first book and anything Nightfall and post loses everything I love about the series.
Keefe Sencen is toxic and manipulative (I don't like him)
Fitz Vacker is a more developed character than Keefe and morally better than the blond.
Fitz doesn't have anger issues, he has a temper. We, as a fandom, need to stop using both interchangeably.
Sophie is a vanilla main character who's personality changes on Shannon's whims and fancies. Is she a kickass protag? A hormonal teen? A pawn in the game? Pick ONE-
Sokeefe sucks. The only reason it's shipped is because Shannon makes Keefe so "likeable" (in quotes because he really isn't IMO), and Sophie's the MC. They're just two people and I promise you that in any other book or author they wouldn't be shipped.
More KOTLC fans should be aware and RIOTING because of the Laura Hollingsworth/Shannon Messenger/homophobia thing. SM's apology was shit, and we need to focus on THAT.
The entire "gnomes are servants to the superior, prettier race of beings, but don't worry, they actually enjoy working, but also their home is not safe for them to go to" is racist and we cannot ignore it.
SM is careless at best, downright malicious at worst for the comparisons and racist things that are in the book (one example above)
It sucks that the focus of the series shifted from defeating the Neverseen to "oh what has Gisella done to Keefe now"
The KOTLC girls are just so mid. Like so terribly mid. Especially compared to any other girls from other series.
SM's sexist comments that she makes in books are bad enough, but 1. pretending they didn't happen and 2. not apologising for it is far worse.
There's no character development in the series. The characters just rapidly change based on the scenario.
(Not sure if this is unpopular) We need more cute Keeftiz, Marellinh, etc moments. Not even romantic, per se, but things like Keefe and Fitz baking together, Marella and Linh playing Bramble and stuff.
The cast is too big. IMO it should be Sophie, Keefe, Fitz, Tam and Linh and maybe Dex. The other characters lack character development and importance. Wylie and Maruca are just so irrelevant it's laughable that they're in the main cast.
I want the series to end, but I don't think it'll be just if it in a book 10. Shannon has too many loose threads that even she knows aren't going to be tied up in one book. Having a book 10 be the final one would be so rushed and just unsatisfying.
The official art is so bad. Like, it just looks so off for all the characters. The style doesn't suit them, the stance doesn't suit them. It's just bad.
(Not sure if this is unpopular) SM is straight up weird and creepy for the way Sodex turned out. She could've made them best friends and made them kiss. But NO. They're cousins. I don't care if they're adopted or whatnot, it's weird.
Wylinh is creepy. Linh is around 15/16 and Wylie is 20/21. And they have the same father figure. That's just straight up creepy.
Grady shipping his DAUGHTER and his NEPHEW together is so creepy. It's meant to be this cute gag and it's just not cute. At ALL.
Matchmaking is Elvin eugenics.
It's a damn shame that Sophie didn't end up being a more activist character, because to me that would make her seem more in character (Forbidden Cities stuff) and more likeable. We see minute glimpses of this but it's never built upon.
Fitz getting mad at Sophie for not telling him her bio mom/being not the matchmaking lists is the most out of character this EVER. Like, isn't this the same boy who broke into Exile ILLEGALLY four books prior? This him?
Stina, while rude, is ultimately right about Sophie being unfit for a leader position. Sophie is the MOONLARK, but that doesn't mean she needs to be a leader.
Team Valiant is terrible. Eugh.
I wish Sophie held on to more of a grudge against the council. They made her wear a TORTURE DEVICE (ability restrictor) made by her BEST FRIEND AND COUSIN. I wouldn't forget that. Ever.
(Not sure if this is unpopular) Shannon should make a collection of short stories about the characters' lives after the series ends. Things like the Great Gulon Incident, Keefitz baking moments, just sweet, small scale stuff.
I think I'm fresh out of hot takes, haha. Just to clarify, I mean none of this with malice, just stating what I think!
Gimme ur unpopular kotlc opinions, no hate zone (I might explain why I disagree with you but all respectful)

If it’s not too much trouble, can you explain what’s going on with poc vackers? I’ve seen there being some discourse and i have no idea if it was about people reacting negatively to adding rep, or criticizing how certain types of characters/families are more widely accepted as poc because of stereotypes, or if people were using poc vackers as an excuse not to examine the racism the Shannon messenger has incorporated in both her attempts at diversity and just in the general content of the series.
It's not too much trouble, I can explain. Essentially, one tumblr user--who appears to be new both to the fandom and tumblr as a whole--made a post asking why people often drew Fitz and Biana as poc when they're canonically said to be pale. They included official art and such as sources. (warning: there is some racist rhetoric under the cut)
I, assuming good faith, was the first to reply explaining that it was a way for those of us not represented in the series to see ourselves in the characters, to make the series more inclusive. And that it caused no harm, and didn't have any real impact on canon; if they didn't like the headcanons, they didn't have to engage with them.
They then responded proposing the hypothetical of what if they drew Tam, Linh, Wylie, Maruca, any other characters of color as white people? That they thought the series was already really inclusive, so we didn't need to add more diversity. That they found it offensive when characters' ethnicities are changed when the characters look like them (when they're white, I assume). That was the beginning of more concerning thoughts they shared, as they went on to say poc were a "protected class" and that you weren't allowed to say anything about them without being called racist or homophobic. They claimed white people were being fired so companies could hire for diversity instead of for talent (though they later admitted they could only find one source for that, and it was a very biased, opinionated, and emotional-language heavy one). When I shared a statistic about what percentage of authors are white (75-90% depending on the source) to further my point about how media is catered to white people (because they'd said it wasn't) they asked why that mattered, and suggested maybe black people just don't write as much, and that's why there are more white authors.
After I talked with them in the replies where they said all that, other people also found the post and starting chiming in, hence why talk of it has spread to some places. Anyone referencing recent poc vacker discourse is most likely talking about this person and these views they shared. I hesitate to share the original post because I have no interest in call-outs or drama, but I also do not want you to just take me at my word. So please be responsible about this, anyone looking further. But here's the post in question so you can verify on your own and see exactly what they said (it's all in the replies) if you want to.
I hope that helps explain it! I think I covered pretty much everything, but i may have missed a detail or two.
#kotlc discourse#quil's queries#the-one-and-only-aroace#they seem young and privileged and like they're repeating things they've heard without thinking about them#and coming to the wrong conclusions#but that's what people are talking about#or at least the extent to which I know about it#after I finished my convo with them I moved on#but it may have developed further afterwards#I can't see anything new? just more people sharing their thoughts. and the op hasn't said anything more#but that's what's up. no trouble at all to explain :)
