#i'm in support I think sokam would be lovely :)

[bookwyrminspiration]

ok listen listen i just discovered that sokam is a ship and??? please i need your thoughts on this???

That's one that's also come onto my radar quite recently. My thoughts are: why not! Sokeefe and kam are both rather popular ships, and sotam have (in my opinion) a lovely dynamic, so why not combine them all!

I think Sophie and Tam complement each other in the overt vs covert ways. Sophie speaks out and takes attention, with that diverted attention Tam can observe anything and everything happening, dealing with all the more subtle aspects of life. Keefe also contributes to the overt category, but Sophie's is in the self righteous way while Keefe's is a defiance more akin to Tam? So they've got the full spectrum

Keefe has a sort of resigned nihilism, which can contrast with Sophie's determination and kindness towards him--which would also be aided by Tam's support. He's not lovey dovey, but he isn't going to let Keefe shittalk himself without cause. Or Sophie. And she's never going to hesitate to reaffirm and comfort them. And Keefe may have trouble caring for himself, but his attention to others can be admirable. I think they'd all reinforce the other's drive to fight, being a safety net to fall back on and recover within. They'd better each other.

I think how ostracized each has been would be a point of strength in their relationship, bringing them all together. To different degrees and in different ways, they've all been separated from their world. Whether physically or emotionally, none of them have a chance at a normal life, so building one together could be a comfort instead. There's no desire or expectation to conform or want to conform, but instead to figure out what you want and what's best for you.

I think there's some work to be done between the three first (mostly centered around Keefe) before they can fully commit to and trust each other, but if that's done and if they decide to do this, I see no reason it shouldn't work out (the Keefe v Tam rivalry being one of the things to be worked on first). They could contribute to and benefit each other's lives, similar enough to connect and unique in their own respects that they're always learning from each other.

They're all incredibly loyal as well. So if they're doing it, they're doing it. Anyway, I haven't given them too much thought, but of the thought I've given I'd be curious to explore them more and think it's a lovely ship!
