UNRAVLED REDRAW

zoom ins under cut!!

this time unfortunately, i have no hidden swans for anyone to find however! the font i used for the title is called Cinzel Decorative font. It's not 100% accurate to the actual books but its close. I used both the Regular bold and Decorative Bold.

keefe is genuinely so ridiculous. so stupid. he was bleeding out on dimitar’s floor and asking if sophie wanted to see his abs. he’s clinically insane. i love him

[kotlcshitposts]

Then Sophie could say “oh me too”

what if when sophie told fitz she kissed keefe fitz is like “oh. i kissed dex”

[art-isnt-arting]

im sorry but what was that

[loveydovey-leviathan]

another thing i'll always love abt kotlc is the way that there isnt a redemption arc for the abusers. i feel like there's too many pieces of media where the abuser is forgiven because you find out that they had good intentions or that they actually loved their victim-- but in kotlc, those aren't excuses.

you find out that linh and tam's mother misses them and regrets what she did, to the point where she becomes more forgiving and lenient; painting awkward portraits of her children because she's beginning to forget what they look like. but despite the pity, none of it is framed in a way that tries to excuse her and her husband's actions. tam and linh will always be the ones who decide whether or not to forgive them, but the narrative doesn't push the idea that they should.

it's revealed that cassius does love his son deeply, and every time he laughs and joke, a tiny part of him is happy when he sees his son smile. but instead of formulating sophie to feel bad for him, she's furious at the idea that him loving keefe will ever make up for the years of neglect his son had to go through.

it's told time and time again that gisela believes that what she's doing will be good for the world-- and therefore good for keefe. but the story doesn't even entertain the notion of understanding gisela for what she did to her child because nothing would ever justify the lies and manipulation.

i wouldnt say mr forkle is an abuser-- but i will always love how sophie never forgives him or trusts him fully. it's not even considered. yes, he did all those things for a good reason; messing with sophie's memories, making her feel alienated, giving her limbium-- but shannon never writes kotlc in a way that makes sophie feel like she should forgive forkle

STOPPP CUZ HE WOULD DOMINATE CLUB PENGUIN!!!!!

Do you guys think Keefe would be bullied by human kids his age? Not because he’s weird but because the way he talks? If he came up to me saying “bring on the fosterfeels” or any awful nicknames he gives people. I would 100% judge him. But then again I would just assume he’s homeschooled and neurodivergent (like me)

if keefe had no romantic interest he would find someone with the coolest last name and marry them just to get rid of his

4444, dark side of the moon. you'll need a form of space travel. good luck. other options include punting your goods into space and hoping it floats to my house somehow
