#welp. here I am a firm believer in doing whatever you want with fiction because its fiction and its not real so

you know, I didn’t really know where I was going with that ask. I’ve spent many a day regretting not sending it on anon. I think it was created from my visceral hatred of sokeefe and trying to come up with some other explanation for their sokeef-y behavior in canon. I actually planned out a whole fic for them, but I was terrified of actually talking about it publicly because of how people treat other ships with a dubious age gap.

both had to adjust to the Elvin world, and both are supposed to be warriors. They’re both considered some of the best of their species. I know a lot of people have gotten annoyed by Ro as more and more of her personality becomes Sokeefe- basically, it’s a toxic yuri Sokeefe alternative. I figured it’d be interpreted as a crackship, but now I don’t really know

Ah don't worry, you're good! Well, I can't speak for anyone else in the fandom, but at least with me you're alright. It's fiction. Do what you want; others can chose to block tags/not engage. You don't need to justify it

You bring up several great points! I'd also add that part of Sophie's story is that she's been introduced to the elven world, is trying to adjust, but finds that there are parts she doesn't mesh with. espeically when it comes to matchmaking. Rejecting that total conformity by turning instead to Ro, who would embrace her more for her oddities (though likely with a lot of teasing) could work well for that arc. Though if you're leaning further into the toxic aspect you could use that teasing as a basis. How Ro both understands her better than anyone (for many of the reasons you listed) and yet also never will understand her enough (because Sophie will always be too human).

If we're incorporating the sokeefe aspect into it, you could use that as telling of an unhealthy obsession. Ro getting so invested because she imagines herself as Keefe and wants to live vicariously through them, and ends up overstepping boundaries and making them uncomfortable in her imaginary pursuit. Great basis for a relationship 👍(lying)

There's certainly a lot to work with, however you want to take it! I only asked about the crackship thing because I have been sent several before, but it didn't seem the same, so I just wanted to verify :)
