"fitz and keefe's friendship was ruined for sokeefe"

yeah thats definitely what happened mhm

thats definitely it there were absolutely no other factors that may have contributed to their fall out

busted out my ancient copy of Lodestar for this

I couldn’t resist…..

* keeptober* day 5

Prompt- lodestar.

Screaming crying throwing up

I find Grady and Sandors dynamic so great, it just has such great vibes that i can’t even describe why I love it so much but they just act like people who have been mates for their whole lives and it’s just so wholesome and I love it

ngl my fav kotlc book is lodestar. I love the sokeefe angst, I love how the characters got to spend time with the dizznees, I love the sleepover scene and I love how the book has a lot of suspense. for example, wylie's kidnapping, sophie and fitz meeting keefe secretly and the fall of lumenaria.

idk if it's just me but when reading it, I was confused that everything seemed to be done by the time sophie, fitz and tam finished fighting the neverseen when there's like, 100 pages left. well, I was in for a really rude awakening after that.

the moment when sophie realized that the neverseen purposely left gethen, the moment she realized the chandeliers and building were shaking and the moment when she burst out of her room from all her training in exilium was *chef's kiss*.

sophie running through lumenaria while screaming edaline's name and mr. forkle's last words to her as his body slowly went limp in her arms. keefe who might've made a lot of sophie near-death experience jokes but was genuinely afraid when he saw her battered and bruised body in the ruins of lumenaria because he actually almost lost her.

and don't even get me started on the cliffhanger. sophie and her friends arriving at her family's home and seeing everything scattered everywhere and amy recognizing sophie GRRRRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

random details from the few Lodestar chapters i read

Juline wears her hair in a messy bun and had a chewed up pencil holding it up

Kesler has three older brothers and two older sisters.

it was implied that one of his brothers ended up on Juline’s match list.

Juline had the conversation with Edaline and Grady about being a member of the Black Swan the morning after the sleepover (most likely Della and Alden as well).

Dex has a little monocle pendant that he uses as a magnifying glass 

Elves sleeping bags have pillows that pop up when you pull a tab that fell like laying on marshmallows.

Juline definitely has a temper because she not only mentioned wanting to throat punch the physicians who where treating the newborn triplets like crap, but she was also proud of slapping Forkle so hard it left a mark. but it seems to be reserved for her children.

Juline offered to take Biana down to see the Kelpies that live near them.

Juline doesn’t know the fully story of Sophie’s allergic reaction

Livvy was very plushie when it came to recruiting Juline

Rex has a stuffed Jackalope named harry

Sokeefe total

guess what, to do this, I had to do MATH

are you proud of me?

so, Keefe has liked Sophie since page 195 of the first book

and since Sophie didn't realize she liked/Keefe had a crush on her till page 376 of Stellarlune,

KEEFE HAS BEEN IN LOVE WITH SOPHIE (AND SHE HASN'T KNOWN) FOR 5748 PAGES

YOU READ THAT RIGHT, 5748 PAGES!!!!!!!!!!

that also equals to 1 ft 6 and 7/10 inches of book

I did my math right

There is 1 ft 9 2/10 in total of KOTLC

6402 total pages

AND SOPHIE IS SO OBLIVIOUS THAT IT TOOK HER 5748 PAGES TO REALIZE THAT SHE LIKED KEEFE

(but they finally kissed so it was worth it)

the rest of the kotlc books i read summarized in the most unhinged way possible

part one

SCHOOL. the council make everyone go to prison school lesssons, btw y’all can blow up flesh and bone, what?!, oh nothing, girl blows up rock with mind, ✨Slumber Party✨ MARRIED PEOPLE 💕KISS💕 BECAUSE THEY LOVE AND FORGIVE EACH OTHER, daily check-in with double agent friend, he makes a poem about his bootie!!, they meet on a island?? and talk about stuff??? young man gets kidnapped and 🔥tortured🔥, the mirror that the girl was allergic to is actually a ✨secret portal✨, and it leads to another ✨secret portal✨,it takes them to a evil bad gut hideout (it’s empty btw), (they accidentally trap their friend in the secret wall hole), 13 year old is asked to attend peace talks because that’s where a child should be, this just in: having a peace talks on top of a underground prison is a horrible idea™️ who would have thought, the building collapses on top of everyone because foreshadowing, man who murdered his fiancé gets smooshed by a R O C K, the mentor guy gets stabbed and slowly bleeds out as his creation watches helplessly (this will definitely not effect her forever) oh no the bad guys have another bad guy!! oh know the girls human parents get kidnapped!! but her sister is ok!! she suddenly remembers who her sister is! THE END so much happens in this book what the hell

Flashback: Evil big brother who had his mind completely wiped is living at home again, because the council and his parents don’t think he’s evil anymore because he forgot all his memories, the younger siblings are NOT happy™️, the younger brother AKA the Burnette hot guy is EXTRA not happy™️, he works out in the desert doing hand stand push up that the main character definitely doesn’t find hot, OH NO! the bad guys attack with shadow powers!!!, the two guys the series keeps forgetting about save the day with a 🌈rainbow sword🌈 (and Explosives!!!🔥local children almost die for the eleventeth time, their in comas, their poor parents, girl wakes up, her arm is goopy and there’s a monster in her brain that is not a metaphor for PTSD, the boy is still in a coma, 🩷😊✨happy shadow thoughts✨😊🩷, girl says she misses the boy and he wakes up through the power of 💕love💕 (probably), they’re hospitalized for two months aka half the book, the blonde hot boy walks in on the Burnett hot guy had feeding the main character candy, he leaves like a sad puppy in the rain, they get out of the hospital, but the Burnett guy is still on crutches, ❤️boy x chandelier the love story for the ages❤️, main character gets not 1 not 2 but 4 new body guards, one is married to the princess, they hate each other, self-defense training and bodyguards shenanigans, the ballad of Bo and Ro is written, local horse girl almost gets kissed by a guy who’s basically royalty, the horse girls horse goes into labor and the horse girl teleports to her rescue, the bald girl from book one helps save the horse’s life with her mom and dad, a troll takes advantage of the fact that the baby horses need to be incubated and gets the horse girl make an alliance with the entire horse species without any other adult input, they take the babies to some hidden tower and create an illusion that will definitely protect them, surprise Evil brother is still evil, he release secret gmo murder troll newborns who wreck havoc, EVIL LADY GETS CRUSHED BY D O O R, little brother almost kills his brother not once but twice, one of those times he trapped him in a baby troll capsule, when it started to fill with goop. he. stopped. pressing. buttons. evil brother escapes definitely won’t be relevant later, evil mom lady threatens to kill the baby horses if he doesn’t get to steal a child, he agrees to be stolen, she knocks him out anyway, the baby horses are born and they are ok, then the horse girl goes to get her eugenics lists because that’s what you do when your friend is kidnapped.

Lol. The fact that Sophie, Dex, Biana and Fitz managed to beat Keefe’s record of visits to the principal’s office in Lodestar

That is just so funny how they show up and are like. “Please let us see Tam and Linh!” Begging on their knees almost sobbing

i dont think we talk enough about how fucking raw this line is

⬆️ lodestar sokeefe = haunted by tswift

favourite kotlc moment of all time

(before i answer i just want to say that the preview for this said “favorite kotlc mom” so i was fully prepared to start talking about edaline here. anyway.)

honestly it’s so hard for me to choose between all the fintan scenes but i’d probably have to go with the peace summit 🤭 just bc it’s so funny to me.

all the world leaders out here talking about how the neverseen is so bad and has caused so much chaos and then a guard immediately comes in and tells them that the leader of the neverseen is right outside the castle and everyone is just like “ok sure let him in 💀”

also think it’s so funny that fintan KNEW he was going to be let into the peace summit 😭 otherwise it wouldn’t have been such a big part of his plan. he knew he could talk his way in there and cause even more chaos and that is so silly of him. and he immediately interrupts the conversation and starts going on his own rant which is so funny because nobody tries to stop him. top 10 kotlc moments

and sophie’s realization of what the neverseen’s plan is is so tense i think. the struggle to get everyone out? the castle crumbling around them? chefs kiss. also forkles death ig whatever. (also brant should have had a more dramatic death! what was that!!!)

anyway yeah

keefe is a younger version of grady.

sophie is a younger version of eda.

bye :)

“I only see him as a friend”

(Biggest lie I ever said)

Ok so that line is definitely Sophie with Keefe, but also, I raise you this version:

“I don’t know if I can forgive this one.”

(Biggest lie I ever said)

So I may have been rereading Lodestar—

Reaching out telepathically to the boy who betrayed us tonight, it’s a bad idea, right? Whatever it’s fine.
