[oliveeeia]

OH MY GOSH THE RITZ CRACKER REFERENCE

THE TAYLOR SWIFT SHIRT

Also why did it feel like Alvar was confessing something to keefe 😒😒😒

That’s as far as I got in the book so far 🤷‍♀️

SPOILER UNRAVELED

Alvar looks like the same psychologist at the reception, who sits opposite you during questions, makes tea and gives you pancakes to cheer you up

**WARNING: SLEEP-DEPRIVATION INDUCED ESSAY, TREAD WITH CAUTION

Your daily little reminder that the main reason Sophie ever liked Fitz was because he brought her to the lost cities. Like, we've all agreed that his personality isn't the greatest and everyone is hot anyway. But I think she's justified in liking him. Not that I approve, but I don't blame her. Like, if some random super cute boy decided to pop out of nowhere (keep in mind that sophie doesn't have friends), explain that my weird, extremely annoying powers (I don't have powers but shh it's for the narrative) are normal and that he has them too, then bring me to the freaking lost cities, I would fall hard too.

I mean, picture it: the air is clean af, the water is clean af, the EVERYTHING is clean af, medicinal shots don't exist (and you (as Sophie) are really scared of those), VIOLENCE doesn't exist (at first glance), gemstones are more common than rocks, everything is sparkly (including the people -- which now includes you yay you're sparkly), extinct animals aren't extinct they're still here, mythical creatures are here too, but we don't eat meat because we eat plants that taste like meat (but better), desserts are literally bites of heaven, we literally only have jobs out of boredom, everyone is hot, everyone is rich (and oh by the way haha you're rich now too because you're one of us!), everyone is magical (not everyone has abilities, but skills are magic too), and everyone is immortal. INCLUDING YOU. BECAUSE FINALLY, YOU FIT IN. And also here are your new super hot parents who own a freaking magical animal zoo (kinda) and here is your 5 trillion dollars (that's the actual amount in canon btw) but it's okay if you run out they'll just give you more, ...oh almost forgot hi i'm Fitz, i'm basically elven royalty, let's be friends!

ok so that's not exactly what happens but it's basically what happens

I would too Sophie I would too. ALSO JUST CLARIFYING I AM A SOKEEFE, LITERALLY HAVE NEVER SHIPPED FITZPHIE/SOPHITZ DON'T KILL ME (even back in the days before we all sokeefed I was a dexphie. Fitz was an ick)

[tourmalinaer]

wait.

THAT’S FITZ?!?!?

I didn’t make the human clothes connection in the past, so I kind of just assumed that was dex. anyways, in the graphic novel, fitz’s hair is dark brown, and he doesn’t wear a wig or anything.

IDC IF THEYRE IN A TUNNEL OF LIGHT OR SOMETHING WHILE THEY LIGHTLEAP.

LIGHT DOESNT MAKE DARK BROWN HAIR THAT BLOND.

somehow his eyebrows are still the same pitch black though

WHY IS THAT FITZ.!???

Greetings mutual of mine, tis I, completing my duties as a mutual to randomly send you questions :D

If KotLC was live action which celebs would be casted as who?

Ok, so to start I would do

Fitz - Liam Hemsworth (I just thought of the actor who played Gale in the Hunger Games cause Gale is so similar to Fitz, lol)

Sophie - Alyvia Alyn Lind (I'm not sure about this one but it's close enough)

Biana - Iga Wysocka (there are so many good actresses for Biana! Also Iga Wysocka could play Sophie as well)

Dex - Tom Holland - but blonde (I love this one! Our lil cinnamon roll😂)

Keefe - No one can match his beauty 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Some of the ages don't quite match but still. I'm soooooooooooo excited for the Keeper of the Lost Cities MOVIE!!!!!!!! This was so much fun to do and I learnt a bunch of new celebrities. Thx ❤️

my very unsolicited and nonetheless important review of kotlc unravelled

ive tagged spoilers yall and im warning you NOW.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This book was SO GOOD. And that is one hell of a compliment from me (hi. Been highly critical of this book for two years. two very long years). Why:

It was fun. I was reading it and thinking "Ah, there's that childhood whimsy that comes with reading an awesome book". It feels so very KotLC, in its style and the fact it's Keefe, and everything they said, the way the characters talk, the things they did, the jokes... very middle-grade. In the best way.

At least for the first bit, we didn't get those long drawn out conversation that KotLC is otherwise riddled with. I am SICK of Forkle telling Sophie she needs patience. And that was the benefit of Keefe being alone for the first bit. No more of those long convos that have me asleep at the end.

Very headcanon-y. It felt light. The book felt like a breath of fresh air. Shannon wasn't too fixated on tying up or unravelling some loose end (for the first bit) so it didn't feel... blotchy.

THE TAYLOR SWIFT REFERENCE. FINALLY. MY "It's me. Hi. I'm the problem it's me." MOMENT. THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. KEEFE AS A MIDNIGHTS TRUTHER?? CANON. Now all we need is to introduce him to folklore and TTPD.

And yes, we are ignoring timelines here. Because vibes.

In depth Lord Cassius. Like yes. He has had depth before. But Unravelled had really good PARALLELS. And there aren't many things I love more than good parallels.

ALVAR. I have never had any sort of opinion on Alvar EVER. BUT THIS BOOK... has changed me. Yes I'm still weary that he tortured a bunch of kids. And yes I'm going to click my heels and snap my fingers yelling "YASS" when he deserves. I am a person of nuance.

Alvar. Sprawled on a sofa. In silk pjs. Wearing a sheet mask. Telling Keefe to try one. Can we immortalise this?

Also I take this as Raviolli foreshadowing thank you very much.

QUEER PEOPLE!!! I gasped out the fuck loud when I saw this. Again. sets up Raviolli.

(And yes. I'm aware it was two offhand mentions and two side characters. Very Disney. And has faults. BUT I will not deny this is a LEAP for Shannon. Check her Insta comments if you think otherise)

And hey maybe if the heat dies down Raviolli will happen.

THE WRIGHTS?? THE GIRL?? Did not expect it. Fully expected a oneshot book with Keefe trying different foods.

THE RITZ CRACKER JOKES. SHANNON IS ON TUMBLR. HI SHANNON. HOPE YOU'RE ENJOYING YOUR STAY.

I wish they visited more places. Like I'm Aussie and all but I need them to visit. More. Places. GO SOMEHWERE IN ASIA. AFRICA. EXPLORE I BEG. But I digress.

Keefe coulda been more gay but I guess thats not happening so I will shut up about it.

LOVED THE BOOK WANT MORE OF IT THATS THE END BYE

[thefanboyhub]

My laundry is on the floor right now and I decided right now was a good time to do some digging into one of the most interesting characters in KOTLC.

It's time to dissect Fitzroy Avery Vacker!

So we all know Mr. Ritz Cracker,

Mr. "We're Cognate's!"

Mr. Golden boy

Mr. You-get-the-damn-point!

Fitz was the Elf who found Sophie in the Forbidden Cities. He was the one who introduced her to his— their— world. He was the first person to see Sophie cry, first person in the Lost Cities to support her.

From reading the books we learn a lot about how Fitz grew up, and you might be saying "uh... no?" BUT HA! YOU FOOL! You cannot just simply read the words, you must read behind the meaning and watch a characters behavior to learn how they grew to be who they are! (It's why I love characters so much, there's so many ways to learn about them)

From context clues and how he behaved in the books we know he was the golden child. First kid to manifest at the tender age of 13, and lose his leaping bracelet early too, not to mention he was a telepath and was basically flawless in school. He took pride in it, like most kids do. But you see here, that's the problem. He never had someone to take him down his pedestal that his parents practically built for him (fucking Alden). He grew up being told he'd do great things, that he was a strong Elf, that he was better then anyone else. So naturally he started to believe it and act like it. He wasn't necessarily vicious either, but he didn't need to be; he always got what he wanted anyways.

I think he felt alone. I mean he reacted so viciously towards his brother Alvar after finding out he was a traitor— UNDERSTANDABLY SO BY THE WAY! But my confusion with this was how angry he was. But I thought about it a lot through my rereading of the series and I realized that he was so angry because he had loved, trusted, looked up to, and felt inferior to his older brother. Despite— No— Because he was treated so much better by Alden(bitch) and Della(ILoveYouWifey) Alvar gained resentment for his siblings, mostly Fitz.

There was a part of Fitz sports thing in book 8.5 KOTLC Unlocked where he talked about playing with Alvar. He said it's no fun playing base quest (I think) with him because he'd stay invisible the entire time. What this tells me is Alvar agreed to play the game but would dip out of his own jealousy and pettiness. Which takes me to my previous statement—

Fitz felt alone. The one thing he never got was a brother who actually liked and loved him. The one thing he had been patiently waiting for and hoping for since he was younger and treated like the golden boy was his older brother. But he never got it, instead he got a traitorous older brother who hated him so deeply he'd hurt his friends without a second thought.

In my opinion, Fitz's rage over his brother is reasonable. It's honestly so real and raw that I can't even say he's being idiotic. Especially considering what I just said.

BUT

His fatal flaw his his anger— or more technical — His tantrums.

Like I said before, he always got what he wanted, he was spoiled and treated like a little prince. So every single time he didn't get what he wanted, his anger would rise. His emotional intelligence has been stumped because he never had someone say no to him or been rejected for something. So he's confused and angry; "Why not!? This never happens to ME!" Type of mentality.

This also comes along with jealousy and the need to compete with others. So when Keefe started to show his affections for Sophie a lot more openly back in book 4 KOTLC Neverseen, specifically when they ended up in Alluveterre for protection that was provided by the black swan, he started to act jealous. He realized how Keefe felt and noticed something about how Sophie acted and he automatically felt the need to compete which is why in book 9 KOTLC Stellerluna he has Sophie on a pedestal like a prise in his subconscious. He doesn't see her like a lover or a crush, he sees her as a prise to win over, subconsciously though. Consciously he thinks it's a crush. He went from thinking of her as a sister to someone he wanted to date; that doesn't happen for no reason.

Moving on from the relationship drama aspect of this, we can talk about his outbursts when something goes wrong. He needs someone to blame. Always. And it's never himself. He needs someone to push all this fear and anger out on because he's not emotionally or mentally equipped to deal with it. It's a self-destructive flaw he posseses. Same with his jealousy.

Which is why I love his character! He actually has some pretty bad flaws! But he also recognized it and is attempting to fix it; what he doesn't realize is that it will take time and whatever he broke will most likely never be fixed again. Simple as that. It's sad and will probably hurt him a lot but I will help him grow.

In conclusion: Kill Alden and get Fitz into therapy :D
