Guys I don’t want to run out of keeper content, but I DESPERATELY want Sophie’s story to resolve and come to a close.
If Shannon wants more money, she can write a prequel series about Jolie and I’ll give it to her

Sometimes the fandom likes to depict Dex as a sweet cinnamon roll and I get it he's a great friend, but his intro is literally him giving a girl he hates a solution to grow her hair back after giving her one that made it fall out. And the solution makes her grow too much hair. Dex lets the reader know right away he is not to be trifled with.

Random idea, which KOTLC character use which social media the most
Sophie: Pinterest prob, needs images and esthetics to calm herself down
Dex: Tumblr. He has the chaos of Tumblr in him.
Fitz: I’d say Discord, he uses social to talk with the people, not for anything else.
Keefe: I’m not sure. TikTok I’d say. He’s def a video format guy, and there are so many things, he would find every niche and jump from one to another.
Biana: she’s an influencer on Insta. Showing herself, pretty pictures, encouraging people to accept their bodies as she accepted her scars, makeup and hair tutorials.
Tam: is he on social media? YouTube. He talks. Found his way to explain what goes in his head, he makes long videos about very special interests. Probably turns off the comments.
Linh: Pinterest. Shares pictures of her water sculptures, of every beautiful landscape she finds.
Stina: starts drama on Twitter/X.
Marella: on Twitter/X too, sometimes takes part in dramas, sometimes just watching them with popcorn. And goes on Tumblr to laugh and cope.
Maruca: has every social, likes everyone’s post, sometimes shares her most random thoughts in Instagram Stories.
Wylie: not a fan of social media, spends some time on Pinterest, on Instagram, doesn’t post anything.
Jensi: uh. Good question. He was on X but ended up thinking people were definitely too stupid, so moved to just looks at the comments (and sometimes add some) under YouTube shorts probably.

book one:
Sophie asks if she can wear pants and Alden days she had to wear a dress because she's a girl
book four:
Della says Sophie IS actually allowed to wear pants and has been the whole time because elves don't have sexism

ok so hear me out ok! Just hear me out…. What if, in unraveled, every third chapter is a flashback chapter. Like to before Sophie got to the lost cities. This could really help and three dimensionalise (that’s not a word but whatever hopefully you get what I’m trying to say) all the characters, to get to see them before the story starts. This could be especially helpful with Fitz and Biana since Biana has just not been getting much attention the last couple books and Fitz has been used like a climbing rung for Sophie’s ark, not to mention how it could give us more into Keefe’s early childhood trauma and what happened to him at Candleshade. AND Shannon could sneak in that plot twist to the flashbacks instead of setting up something in the human world which I feel like would be way easier.

I wrote a song from the perspective of Jolie Ruewen
You guys voted for a song to Brant after her death, so here it is! I’ve been looking for an excuse to use this chord progression (which is ironic, cause I actually messed up the piano on the last chorus in this recording). Anyway, I hope you enjoy it! Thank you all for your support!
Lyrics under the cut:
I knew I was playing with fire
I shouldn’t be shocked I got burned
I understood you when no one else did
And I know my love was returned
I know I felt dangerously guilty
I should have known you were acting strange
The world wasn’t kind to you, it wasn’t fair
But I can’t forgive how you’ve changed
I still see our shadows on the walls
Of every place we’ve been
And I still hear the sweet, sweet words
That flowed to me from your pen
But our end was the beginning
Of something I can’t ignore
The scars are not the reason
I don’t recognize you anymore
She is one way that I haunt you
I know you see me on her face
I hope that you also see all that I stood for
And think of the past you’ve erased
I still see our shadows on the walls
Of every place we’ve been
And I still hear the sweet, sweet words
That flowed to me from your pen
But our end was the beginning
Of something I can’t ignore
The scars are not the reason
I don’t recognize you anymore
I hope you never forget me
Cause I know that you’ll always care
I hope you imagine what I’d say to you
Doing all these things if I was there
I’d say I still see our shadows on the walls
Of every place we’ve been
And I still hear the sweet, sweet words
That flowed to me from your pen
But our end was the beginning
Of something I can’t ignore
The scars are not the reason
I don’t recognize you anymore

I'm sure this has already been discussed to oblivion but I want to touch on Grady and Edaline dealing with grief and how Sophie impacts that in the first book.
We learn pretty quickly that grief is not a normal experience in the elvin world. The fact that Jolie died in a horrible way isolates the Ruwens from society. They then isolate themselves for 15 years until Sophie comes to live with them. This brings up a lot of memories related to Jolie and probably whatever healing the couple was able to go through together was shattered a bit with Sophie's presence.
But Sophie understands grief because she was raised by humans. She knows how hard it is and is empathic towards Grady and Edaline because of this. It's a really interesting dynamic to me because while Sophie brings up a lot of pain for Grady and Edaline, she also helps them heal.

marella and biana for the soul.
i really need to figure out to turn my art style into something more manageable and stylised for drawing bigger scenes and not just headshots :(
i really want to draw backgrounds and scenes from the books with the characters in them but it’s so intimidating
anyway here they are, i tried making them teenish (they look more like they’re in their 20s) but it’s kind of tough so any tips or any artists to reference on making them looking more their age are definitely welcome!
