old Timkin Heks from the Keeper Sexyman 2023 bracket!

[waining-crescent-moon]

EXILUM HCS

- For finals they have a big race in a random place they find (different every year) that has a bunch of obstacles where the kids can’t use abilities only talents. There’s a time-limit which changes each year depending on the race course, Timkin Heks set some kind of record which got him to be considered to be brought back

- The beads they get each day are all different shades so if you get the same color twice it’s like getting a rare Prattles pin

-They trade beads for colors they want

- The kids sometimes make friendship bracelets with the bead. They also make different types of jewelry, the ones who have been there for a long time tend to just wrap a long chain of them around their uniform

- One time the place the school ended up was on a pretty normal beach so there was the equivalent of a beach episode

- Sometimes there are fights, the coaches only let them keep fighting if they don’t use abilities so there are a lot of fist fights

- Whenever they set up in a place with a lot of plants or animals they spend the day helping the medic gather supplies for elixirs

in your opinion, who's Sophies dad? why do you think so, how do you think he'll be introduced, will it be a big deal to the story? im sure you've talked about this before but I on't remember so

my theory is Timkin Heks. it just makes sense

It’s gonna be a pretty big deal. Forkle said that if the identities of her parents we revealed, it would be a huge revelation, not just for Sophie, but for the entire Elvin world. This makes sense with Oralie, because she’s a Councillor, and Councillors aren’t supposed to have kids or be affiliated with a rebel group. Realizing that one of the rulers of the world had not only violated the no-kids rule but also had helped an illegal rebellion operating against the Council is big.

So, whoever Sophie’s dad is, the reveal will be major. I’d bet it’ll be even bigger than Oralie’s because we’re getting into the last book(s) of the series and the reveals are going to get bigger and bigger at this point as we built to the climax.

Timkin Heks is an interesting theory. He’s a fairly minor character who is shown to be antagonistic to Sophie but also helps her cause even if he disagrees with the Black Swan at points. He’s characterized as an unlikeable but not awful person who understands the need for change - he’s haughty at times but understands his status and what he had to do to get to where he is now.

If he was Sophie’s dad, she would have to grapple with someone who has been antagonistic to her being her parent. It would be sort of the opposite of Oralie - not a betrayal, because she never trusted Timkin like she did Oralie, but a revelation in a different way.

However, it would feel anticlimactic. The identity of her parents are kept secret because they could shatter the Elvin world. You could argue that Timkin being Talentless could play into this, but I don’t see it being big enough.

It would be interesting for character dynamics, but I don’t see it working in the larger narrative.

One of my favorite dad theories is Fintan Pyren. What if Fintan was a member of the Black Swan at first? The Black Swan is supposed to be centuries old - what if he joined them, but left after disagreeing with their methods about how to deal with humans?

He wouldn’t even have to know about being her father. The Black Swan could’ve gotten his dna before he left and then used it in Project Moonlark.

The revelation that he was her father could “shatter their world” because Fintan is a pyrokinetic, former council member, and a member of the Neverseen. And him being her father would add additional conflict to both of their characters.

But.

My favorite dad theory is a human.

Sophie’s father being a human would be amazing. A half human half elf connecting the two worlds together? Bringing to the forefront all of the human-elf issues that have been brewing in the background of this series?

Think about the conflict this would bring! The way so many characters would have to confront their prejudices and worldviews and confront the fact that the person bringing change to their world is part human!

Thanks for the ask!

climbing out of my hole to ask how you pronounce coiffe??

So when Councillor Terik fakes an ability it's all fine and dandy but when I, Timkin Heks-

[lucyshypemaster]

stop with the stina hate you guys 💔💔💔 that's pookie oh also she can totally bodyslam your favs

[you-have-been-frizzled]

Terik age 15: i can't be talentless, i gotta think of something-i-um can sense people’s potential, yeah, that's what i can do

elven Society: that sounds completely believable, you can totally go the elite levels.

Terik proceeded to gaslight his way though nobility, and ended up on the council because of a lie he made up at 15, and he’s still bullshitting it to this day

Wild Raynes (Timkin and Vika)

I was originally just going to draw Timkin and Vika but then it became a whole story.

Happier summer days when life seemed so simple.

I'm really really proud of how everyone turned out here, especially Cryah's full-body design, I'm really happy with her dress

But for the stars of the show, Timkin and Vika Heks

[exillium]

(not counting the main 5 characters because that would heavily skew the results

[sillyguy-supreme]

the heks as a family are so interesting to me especially when you compare them to the dizznees (under a read more bc it got long lmao).

for example, timkin and vika are aware of the unfairness of the matchmaking system, but rather than fighting the system that keeps them apart, they instead make it seem like they follow the system, rigging it in their favor and then maintaining the status quo. this is especially interesting when you look at vika’s treatment of kesler in the first book. despite being ready to marry a talentless man, she still sees kesler as below her. in fact, she even calls dex a bad match in the first book even though stina would not be that much different from dex if not for timkin having a brother in law at the matchmaking offices.

stina is also interesting in this regard, because she has never had her worldview challenged in the series. despite her own parents literally bribing the system to marry, stina constantly holds the status of dex’s parents above his head. and throughout the series, she never challenges her views on the match system. she never apologizes to dex for being actively bigoted to him. she just. stops being mean to that group specifically. when she and dex begin to work for the council, she just stops being mean to him. when she works with sophie, she does not face any of her views on the elven world, she just cooperates with the group. in fact, in the ninth book, she shows distaste for rayni’s parents rigging the system in their favor, despite her own parents literally doing the same thing. she knows her father is coiffe and expresses to sophie that she wants sophie to save the gnomes, but outside of that, she does not ever tackle her flawed views.

in conclusion: what do the heks stand for? what does the status quo hold for them?

timkin heks except it’s One of Us from The Lion King 2

[bookwyrminspiration]

I was going to make a post saying something like "rip to timkin but I'd simply lie better and never get caught if I was faking an ability" but then I got to thinking about the fact they literally sent him to exillium. they created a system that prioritized abilities so much he felt his best option was to lie about having one and then punished him for the situation they placed him in. and then Timkin managed to come back? to re-enter society semi-respected having worked hard enough to come back from Exillium? sure he's grumpy sometimes, but Timkin knows what's up. so sorry they caught you king but I believe in you. except for that weird alicorn thing that one time that was rude but otherwise you're ahead of your time <3
