#kotlc Keefe

[kale-of-the-forbidden-cities]

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

[art-isnt-arting]

Dex: What did you get Linh for her birthday? Marella: I got her a kitten. Dex: Really? Me too! Keefe: I also got her a cat. Sophie: Looks like we had the same idea. Marella: Tam, please tell me you didn't get Linh a cat as well! Tam: ...I got her a kitten. *later* Linh, in her apartment surrounded by cats and kittens: This is the best birthday ever!

Is it just Me...?

Every character has something that they are sort of referred to by, I feel like.

Biana is really beautiful

Fitz is supposed to be cute

Keefe is funny

Dex is also funny and hes like a tech-y person

Tam is like the shadow dude

Marella is just firey girl

Maruca is like that cool, goth girl (I know she's not goth, but she kinda acts like it sometimes)

But then there's Linh... I cant think of anything for her. Can u maybe reblog and say what you think she would be?

[milo-igidk]

keefe would eat up that "rating things my mom has done" trend in tiktok

0/10 tried to kill me (what the flip gisela not cool)

-100/10 kidnapped and tortured my gf and her best friend (seriously what the fuck ma?)

1/10 did weird experiments on me (got photographic memory still pretty fucked)

3/10 organised a ring fight with me and the ogre king (was bedridden for like a week but it got me a cool bodyguard/older sister so)

8/10 involved my dad in illegal activity then erased his memories of it (lmfao it got him fired get fucked loser)

-2/10 sealed a bunch of evil shit with my blood (use your own blood bitch what the fuck??)

-200/10 killed enough people to be considered a serial killer (bro thinks shes american psycho)

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 the guy to see an ogre and go "is anyone gonna spar that?" And not wait for an answer

[tam-shade-song]

ok. Because I too, am unoriginal, I challenge thee to a challenge.

If this post gets...5k notes by the ides of March (Mar 15) I'll write a Frankenstein KOTLC Au, where

Sophie is Frankenstein's monster

Sophie is morally grey

They're nonbinary

And they kill Wylie's father (Kinda sorta on accident)

I won't start writing it until after I finish my current fic, but once I do I'll post it on AO3 and Wattpad.

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

[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

Keefe: *trying to buy a Father's Day card at Hallmark* Keefe: Excuse me, do you have any that just say "You are my dad?" Associate: Well, I- Keefe: How about "You banged my mom?" Associate: No... Keefe: You know what, I'll just get a blank one. Keefe: *writes* You are a father. This is a day. Here is a card.
