Let's just appreciate everything Keefe does for Sophie.

That's it.

[keeperseries]

The gang: *lying in the grass, looking at clouds*

Sophie: ooh, that one looks like a boomerang

Fitz: what the heck is that

Sophie: it’s a curved wooden hunting weapon Australian humans used to use that flies back to you when you throw it

Keefe: ooh, I’m imagining the possibilities

Sophie: I got to throw one once, years back

Biana: oh, really? How did that go?

Sophie: well it never did come back, so now I live in constant fear

The gang:

Dex: *nervously glancing all around them, just in case*

can i just be in my head with you?

[keeperseries]

Sophie: [clicks pen]

Dex: [clicks pen in response]

Keefe: Stop that.

Dex: Stop what?

Keefe: You’re talking about me in morse code.

Dex: Yes, that’s what we’re doing. In our very limited free time, we took a class on a very outdated, very unnecessary form of communication just so we could talk about you in front of you.

[later]

Dex, to Biana: That's actually… exactly what we did.

Kinda, sorta, not totally sure, but are Dex, Stina, and Sophie the only “valid” teenagers?

They’re the only ones who actually work, right? Before their responsibilities in the Black Swan and/or as Team Valiant members they actually had jobs. But, the other teenagers didn’t have to concern themselves with that.

Hold up,

and take a second to appreciate how six Council members actually participated in the last Legacy battle instead of only having those under them fight.

why do i feel like dex would make a special pair of bracelets just for him and fitz, where if you tapped a button it would play a "goodnight, i love you" recording by the other person

they would listen to it every day before going to sleep and when asked about the bracelet they would say "oh, it's nothing"

im not crying, you are

I can’t handle it when I hear a Black Swan member go “We trust out Moonlark. We trust you to make the right decision Sophie,” or something along those lines, like I don’t trust myself to make a decision between mint chocolate chip and cookies & cream ice cream. How can you expect her to make decisions that impact the entire world?

[keeperseries]

Hmm. Sophie’s an all-natural gal. She’s not fond of medicine, doesn’t like sedatives, and basically hates anything that messes up her brain, so I don’t think she’ll like caffeine.

Also, I feel like giving Sophie a coffee/energy drink addiction is harmful because 1) our society has normalized caffeine addictions and I don’t think that’s a good thing, and 2) it’s important to acknowledge that the reason Sophie stays awake is because when she sleeps she has to relive trauma through nightmares.

juline : God, sometimes, kesler makes me so angry.

elwin : You're sitting in his lap.

juline : Angrily.

I distinctly remember Edaline telling Sophie all the pros and cons of the system, but I don’t remember everything Edaline said. Eugenics is a part of the matchmaking system. I think it’s also so people don’t marry their cousins or something. And like most things, it works for some people / couples have found each other through their Willowing Galas. In the end, the good doesn’t outweigh the bad.

. . .Isn’t the matchmaking system kinda eugenics?

[keeperseries]

You’re a twin? Well, we can’t have that.

You’re unmatchable? Unacceptable.

You have an ability that’s too powerful? Let’s shut you away from society instead of learning to control and harness your power.

You don’t have an ability? You’re worthless.

make it make sense

Edit: It was not my intention for this to blow up. I’ve looked in the replies and have seen lots of different opinions about this post.

This is a Netflix feature that breaks down just some of the systematic racism against Black Americans and is free on YouTube. It touches on this particular post and other systems in place to keep Black Americans in either constant states of oppression or in modern day slavery. I strongly suggest watching this film if you are truly interested in just how bad America wants to keep Black Americans oppressed in everyday life.
