Cycles, Vertigo, by Griff

thanks to @bookwyrminspiration for finding this scene (the dialogue isn’t canon) on page 68 of Lodestar! The goat fr. The frame and a few details are inspired by this piece by @aurenflare

🌟🎉Keepblr Wrapped 2024 🎉🌟

thanks for your patience and contributions! i've tried my best to get a good overview, but if I've missed anything you feel crucial, please do add on :)

this year was quite eventful. here's a few highlights (not in order):

Fintan Pyren won Keeper sexyman for the second year in a row

Sal (worldsunlikemyown) created a script for the Enlightened language!

Shannon announced we'd have a 9.5 instead of book 10, to mixed reviews

Unraveled's cover was revealed, and everyone tore into it. Is Keefe actually attractive? The world may never know

Tam cam. featuring months of about 10,000 different fake blogs, detectives, and accusations--to the point it needed it's own separate tag

wiityispb won the best kotlc quote bracket!

we started translating wiityispb into several languages (Punjabi) (Arabic) (Nahuatl) (Hindi) (French) (there's more, too)

people started making bingo cards for Unraveled

a handful of people tried to get kotlc trending, absolutely flooding the tag and rendering it unusable for a day or two

Lavacake (marella x fitz), and the ship name arguments it started

Roisin (camelspit) hosted a skribbli.io session!

abscourse, the neverending debate about whether Keefe has abs (he shouldn't), which also dragged asscourse back to light (whether fintan pyren has a fat or flat ass (it's flat))

Lady Cadence won the 2024 Keeper Sexywoman bracket!

the Fairy Tale AU Exchange! featuring 54 lovely works you should peruse <3

a second event, the Keeper Big Bang 2024! find the works under the ao3 collection and by perusing the keeper big bang 2024 tag!

kotlc and keepblr were added to Fanlore by Catherine! (everliving-everblaze)

there were also several themed weeks, such as Ancients Week and Tiertice Week 2024!

the infamous Anti-Keefe Rant by Stria (the-way-astray)

Hethen, Elwin x Gethen, which also sparked ship name arguments

we tormented @/do-you-ship-this-book-couple with a million kotlc ships

Fitz Vacker won the best keeper character 2024 bracket!

During said bracket, Quil (bookwyrminspiration) developed a severe, ongoing loathing for Watson the Dog, which people torment it about to this day

We got brand new official art by chrissabug!

like half the fandom was accused of being Katie (myfairkatiecat)

Roisin (camelspit) hosted another year of Roisin's Reading Rumble!

Strieefe, the pairing between Stria (the-way-atray) and her least favorite character, Keefe Sencen. Now with 21 (and counting) different fics, 8 artworks, and 2 songs!!

A few Unraveled scenes leaked, sending the fandom into a panic--half from the contents of the leak, half from the scramble to avoid said contents

Quil (bookwyrminspiration) drew krocs, which Fin (fintan-pyren) actually made

Unraveled, book 9.5, was officially published!! (Quil, bookwyrminspitation's, notes from the tour) with canonical queer characters!! the fandom took this very well.

They did not take the timeline well. There were many debates about when the series takes place given pop culture references in 9.5

Finally, we started transing several characters genders again! Notably, Laith Vacker

This brings 2024 to a close, leaving us all still riding the high (low?) of Unraveled. Jesus fuck, y'all. what a year. can't wait to do it again <3

Linh Song would want you to drink water! 🌊💙🌊💙🌊💙

[Linh Song is actually afraid of water, and for the first little while after she destroyed Atlantis, would panic whenever she could feel the presence of water near her, including sources as small as a glass of water, leading to her refusing to drink anything and becoming severely dehydrated. That doesn't really work for this post, though. Drink water anyways. If you want to be like Linh Song, just adopt a cat or be a lesbian or something]

its time to embrace the fact kotlc is in 2015 right now, put them in skinny jeans and uggs stat
