#keeper 9.5

[imobsessed123]

Ok but imagine if Shannon didn’t make 9.5 so in book 10 Keefe will just randomly say something like

this is worse than that one time I burned down a gas station

and Sophie is just like ;-;

[begayandstabpeople]

Instead of getting book 10 after 9.5 I am convinced we’re gonna get like -5 or something just because Shannon wants to see how far she can take this before actually starting a riot

Ya'll, putting the fact that I'm Keefe-obsessed aside, 9.5 is actually going to be so good. It sounds like we're going to get:

-What it feels like to go numb due to Empathy (and then we can understand Vespera more :D )

-Keefe trying beans on toast

-Keefe realizing that humans really don't have it very easy (no gnome servants and birthfunds for them!)

_SHANNON FINALLY MAKING IT A FOCUS THAT ELVES AND HUMANS ARE REALLY SIMILAR AND THE WORLD'S PROBLEMS LIE ON EVERYONE'S SHOULDERS

-maybe MAYBE some jucy bits about Keefe reading the myth of the sinking of atlanis

-Please please just give me some Atlantis crumbs

-Keefe meeting struggling teens like him (humans can go numb too without even having empathy)

-The narrative slowly going from hating on "stupid" and "weak" humans to feelings of respect and understanding

ok so i slightly edited the new cover just to see if i could make it look less… odd? Like fix proportions or smth idk. And I think I’ve made his face a little less weird but I need to hear other people’s opinions because I can’t tell if i’m imagining it or not

Absolutely no hate to Jason Chan btw!! The art is genuinely amazing and I’m so excited for Unraveled.

I’ve been complaining about how I’m 21 and there’re still KOTLC books being released, but it’s really a blessing in disguise. I don’t know how anyone is supposed to read Unraveled sober. Good luck to you youngins

The more I think about it, the more I’m convinced Grady will be involved in Unraveled and that Keefe reached out to him.

Not only would it explain a lot about the jump in their relationship when he comes back in Stellarlune, but Grady very blatantly leaves Keefe a way to contact him.

Shannon is now invested in making sure this is a ten book series, so the next one will probably be 9.75 and then we’ll get 9.8 and then 9.9 and then 9.99 and then 9.999 and then Shannon will finally announce book 10 like “we did it guys! We got book 10! However it will be ending on a cliffhanger that will be picked up in the first book of my next series, Keefe of the Forbidden Cities”

OKAY, OKAY, OKAY

We are getting an entire book in Keefe’s pov of what he got up to in the lost cities. Book 9.5 called “Unraveled”

I am legit sooo excited. I know this isn’t book 10 but come on, I feel like having an entire book in Keefe’s pov sorta confirms that him and Sophie are endgame

Kay so I already posted this a month or so ago, but I find it very applicable to the fandom rn

The lore in Nightfall is actually insane. You're telling me that hundreds of humans went missing, and when the Elvin Leadership did NOTHING the humans revolted so hard-core that ya'll really had to DISSAPERE from their knowledge? "But it was to keep the peace!"

Nuh uh.

If you REALLY wanted peace you would have actually looked into the disappearances. That would have been waaay easier to pull off than erasing hundreds of minds and flibbety-dippen SINKING an entire city into the ocean. Despite Elven egos, I think that the council got scared. That's right. The humans you call dumb and violent SCARED you into hiding.  We ugly, weak, and untalented things decided enough was enough and you couldn't handle it.

What's extra crazy is the fact that the Elvin world has everything in their pockets OTHER THAN THE HUMANS. You're telling me that we idiots rule the Earth while you lock yourselves and others away? 

An even crazier thing is that Elves view themselves above everything, even if they won't admit it at the get-go. Ogres really are pissed about it. They are CRAZY strong but also incredibly intelligent. The average elf understands nothing about Biochemistry (other than extreme exceptions such as Lady Candace) yet Ogres have things that can wipe out entire species and put Elves in endless comas. "But the Neverseen used the sedative so they understand it!"

Nuh uh.

They stole the research from the Ogre scientists. (Or made a deal with the king I honestly don't remember at this point). They NEVER would have pulled that off without them. And guess what? Ogres are a generally violent species as well but the Elves keep them around. (Albeit on a short leash). 

The humans have a similar situation. Many times in the books a human story, invention, or belief is brought up only for someone to smugly say "They get that from us", or "he was inspired by ME". I believe there was also a scene where someone talks about how human "help" organizations were terminated because the information shared with them led to dangerous inventions. Don't you guys just love it when Elves claim credit for all good ever done by humans? But as soon as a nuclear power plant or bomb is mentioned (crazy complicated crap) it's suddenly the nasty humans and their dumb, violent minds. *insert eye-roll* Which is it? Are we smart or dumb? Are WE responsible or are YOU? Ya'll can't cherry-pick. Elves also pretend that they have control over humans, yet you can't stop an invention from destroying a Japanese City and ending a devastating war that killed more Jews than the average Elf could comprehend? If humans are so terrible, THEN WHY HAVEN’T YOU STOPPED US YET? WHY DIDN'T YOU KILL US WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE? oh that's right, you're too scared.

My final thought: The fact that HUMANS are what Vespera chose to "study". Why not Ogres or Trolls? Were humans the easier target, or was there some other reason? The fact of the matter is that Humans and Elves are more similar than either of us would like to admit. Ogre's minds are too different than an Elf's. Human minds are only different in the sense of how loud they are.  In fact, that's arguably the most important difference between us. We humans are loud, we feel intensely and love like nothing Elves would understand. For we love for our short lives while they wander on for eternity. The only reason we can handle violence is because we have to fend for ourselves. Elves have protectors and little green people to do their dirty work. Humans have to live through thick and thin, slavery, war, loss, and heartbreak. When Elvin minds shatter, our minds find ways to make it through. Lose someone? We make up afterlife after afterlife and history shows different religions arising when the general public needs a way to work through their violent and tiring lives. But maybe we AREN’T so different. The characters presented as able to handle violence/are inclined to it either had to suffer violence and neglect, lived through endless years of times before the treaties and the council, or spent time with humans. Take Fitz as a prime example. Bro legit beat the shit out of Alvar and trapped him in goo to die. NOTHING IN THE BOOKS SHOWS FITZ FEELING ANY GUILT FOR THIS. Hm...seems like a very "human" thing to do.

The real reason Elves fear us is because we're just an untethered form of themselves with shorter life spans and a lot less to lose. We feel more deeply, more “violently”. As the books go on the Council itself is presented in a more kick-butt way as they finally step up to Vespera and the horrors she caused. 

That sounds a lot like The Humans of Atlantice.
