sophie 🤝 saiki

having to wear super thin discrete gloves to block an ability

i think saiki k and sophie foster would appreciate each others presence

#there are many other similarities but this is the funniest one to me personally

this feels relevant to reblog now that unraveled got announced

tw: brief mentions of the holocaust and slavery

obsessed with the idea of keefe stumbling into an american university and just walking into a us history lecture and finding it interesting so he keeps going. and he learns about how the us government has term limits and a system of checks and balances to prevent one group from becoming too powerful, and thinks about how that could be applied to the council. he learns about how women had to fight for their right to vote and are still fighting for equal rights and thinks about how those with lesser abilities need to work harder to be in the nobility. he learns about slavery, and thinks about how the elves did nothing to stop the enslavement and abuse of thousands upon thousands of humans. he finds a computer and does his own research.

he learns about the ADA, and how it is illegal in the united states to discriminate against someone on the basis of disability, and he connects it to the talentless not getting the chance to be nobility solely because of their lack of ability. in the same vein, he reads about therapists and mental health professionals. about how working with a mental health professional can help someone through their mental and emotion issues. he thinks about how if marella's mom had someone like that in addition to elixirs, maybe she wouldn't go through all that scorn. he comes across cps, and thinks about how if he or tam or linh had a support like that to help stop the verbal abuse they all went through, maybe they would be better off. he reads about the civil rights movement, and how if millions of black americans had not put their foot down and forced action from the people in power, they would not have gotten their rights. and he thinks about how the gnomes had to practically demand the council to say something about the plague. he reads about world war 2 and is horrified at how the elves did nothing to prevent the millions that were killed, and how they instead pulled the human assistance program entirely. he reads about eugenics, and is disgusted with the realization that this is what matchmaking is.

he reads about the horrific loss of life all over the world that could have been prevented. that should have been prevented. by elves. his people. and he thinks about how so many of these events can compare to elvin history. and he can barely stomach being able to call himself an elf anymore.

he thinks about something he's thought about many times. that the lost cities needs to change. but for the first time he seriously considers that they should change like the forbidden cities. that elves have plenty to learn from the people they shut out. he is determined to take what he's learned and to spark that change.

because it's one thing to go from one deeply damaged world to a perceived perfect one. but it's another thing entirely to come from the perfect one and go to the damaged one and be hit with the realization that their awful past is your world's present.

i know elves build out of crystal bc it’s a display of beauty and opulence but crystals can be grown and i know that’s not like technically a mineral anymore once it’s manmade but like they wouldn’t be taking a bunch of minerals out of the ground which they would see as sustainable and what if that were another reason

idk i’m not a geologist but this occurred to me

#kotlc #kotlc fandom #keeper of the lost cities #i cannot in my brain justify the crystal architecture bc it looks stupid in my brainium #but if it were sustainable for the elves then i could get behind it

seeing horse books right by kotlc is my genre of comedy actually

seeing kotlc in the wild is always a crazy feeling for some reason

i can’t wait for the keeper graphic novel to get to the scene where edaline explains to sophie that the elves don’t discriminate based on body type or race or physical appearance because it will be even more of a bold faced lie in a medium where you can see on the page the lack of diversity

#kotlc #kotlc fandom #keeper of the lost cities #kotlc graphic novel #i think the book is a faithful adaptation #but the diversity issue is still present and even more obvious

You, a completely ordinary middle-class teenager, are chilling in your room one day when your parents receive a phone call. It's from the government, and they want you to come to the White House the next day. So you dress nicely and travel to the White House. When you arrive, you are personally greeted by Joe Biden, who informs you that he has created a new government position and wants to appoint you to this position. But first, he tells you, you need a makeover. You expect to be sent to some sort of special White House stylist, but instead, Biden leads you to a mirror. He expertly styles your hair and does your makeup. It looks fantastic. You didn't know that your president was such a skilled makeup artist. Finally, he assigns you an official government-issued fursona, and you're escorted out through the front doors of the White House. People nod approvingly as they see you leave and talk about how glad they are to see that the government is finally doing something.

#im glad this resurfaced bc this was the funniest thing id ever read when i first saw it #i remember reading it aloud to my friends at school and their faces being of pure horror #i reference government issued fursona constantly #top tier post right here

elaborating on this but during the cognate inquisition when fitz was literally in sophie’s subconscious where her thoughts had no filter and he tells her that he wants to kiss her and then gets her unfiltered reaction is so beyond messed up like omg i screamed when i read it good god

like at first i was like “ew you guys broke up leave her alone” but then as i thought about it more it became “EW THIS IS SUCH AN INVASION OF PRIVACY WTF GET OUT OF HER HEAD” and he was so smug about it too ugh

guys i hate to say it but stellarlune did not improve my opinion on fitz and in fact made it worse

#kotlc stellarlune spoilers #stellarlune spoilers #kotlc stellarlune #kotlc fandom #i dont want to hear anything about oh he didnt realize it #he is seventeen now i think that is old enough to know that this is wrong #and he was all like glad to see its not off the table #SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP #it wasn’t even part of the exercise for the love of god #stellarlune rlly made me fully hate a bunch of characters that i didn’t before like

[imissjensi]

shannon should have stopped adding characters to sophie’s squad after wylie (or at least started killing some of them off) bc there are too many of them and scenes are just getting clogged with characters and there isn’t enough time for everyone to get proper development
