Keefe

the unraveled cover broke me, who knows how much fan art i've drawn and I managed ti have only drawn Keefe three times total. However.....yall I had to redesign him

zoom in + Bonus

the scar on his forehead is from the crown in Legacy aaand alt hand vers.

pen doodles on his hands curtesy of @frizzle-mcshizzle. doodles include; a unicorn, the cygnus constellation, a swan, butterfly, tic tac toe, a ring, multiple smiley faces, star, and smudged writing

can u draw more if those youtube thumbnails those are sooooo funny 🤞🤞 also btw i love ur blog and everything u post

anything for you venux777

[mis-n-the-unwise]

It would be amazing if the first person Keefe trusts in the human world’s first words will be “are you lost?”

[moonrose18]

okay wait this is actually getting me kind of excited for Unraveled. “…and give Keefe the power to change his destiny.” WHAT DOES THAT MEAN. What did this man learn and why did he not share it when he got back in Stellarlune?

kotlc unraveled spot the difference (impossible edition)

GUYS AHHH LOOK

[the-way-astray]

you could theoretically read the series in the order 8.5, 9.5, 9 instead of 8.5, 9, 9.5 because books 9 and 9.5 take place parallel to each other but also sophie and keefe never interact between them so hypothetically there should be no difference (and no spoilers either way).

another thing you could theoretically do is alternate between reading books 9 and 9.5. a chapter here, a chapter there. it would be like reading a longer version of unlocked, with the povs alternating between sophie and keefe.

in fact, in theory, there could be a possibility of even less spoilers if you read it 8.5, 9.5, 9. for example, if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled, and you didn't know she would die yet, it could be a really cool way to see her last minute and have an extra layer about her before her death. whereas if vespera makes an appearance in unraveled and you already know she's going to die, it feels a little more empty. not completely meaningless, but like. kinda empty. like if vespera hints at a larger plan or something in unraveled and you didn't know she was going to die, you'd be super excited to see this plan shake out, but now that we know she's going to die something like that wouldn't hit as hard.

why is exile the only book cover that does Keefe justice

[rainbow-flavoured-skittles]

this was the only thing I could think of when I saw the cover I'm sorry

[lizzie-dude]

"Keefe is canonically hot."

Look at this man.

He is a goofy goober and I love him for it, but he is not the supermodel y'all are imagining.

[milo-igidk]

i just rlly want vespera to show up in unraveled like plsssss shannon pleaseeee ill never forgive you for killing her off but can you at least have her one more time 😭

like i dont rlly remember stellarlune that much but im like pretty sure she can do this thing with illusions where shes there even if she isnt so have her do that

[justanerd1234]

So I saw the cover for Unraveled and…

what?

my boy! Look what they’ve done to my boy!

Anyway due to my grievances with it, I decided to take the initiative and fix some of the biggest problems with Keefe’s face. (Don’t look too closely bc you’ll be able to see the jagged color blocks in spots. I just did this to get a rough idea of what it should look like)

the og is on the left and mine is on the right.

I realized part way through why it looks funky; not only are his eyes on different planes, they’re way too far apart too.

Honestly tho, after all the beautiful covers we’ve been given over the years this is what we get???

[nervoustoastthing]

I hate when people are like “these two characters can’t have a relationship because character b snaps at them so much-“ then character b has canonical anger issues and is trying their best

(From Shannon's Instagram, on the new cover reveal )

My humble response:

No, our Lord Hunkyhair is not looking especially hunky on the new cover. He's not bad, but he just looks a little wrong.

Yes, I am somewhat bothered that our Fearless Miss F is not on the cover. KOTLC has been hijacked by a side character, and as much as we all love Keefe, he's stealing the show by now. Hogging the narrative rather than haunting it.

Yes, the new cover is absolutely a different feel from all the others. Again, not bad, but it does make it feel all the more like we're branching off into a different story. That being said, it's kinda cool to have a different mood to the new cover art because it's set in the human world and therefore of course the vibes would be different. (However, the Legacy cover is also capturing a moment from the human world, with Big Ben in the background and all, and yet it still has that fantasy feel.)

Yes, unfortunately our boy *could* look more awesome. No disrespect to the artist, but this time Keefe just doesn't quite look like the Keefe in the other cover illustrations.

I am liking the plain, ordinary, simpler feel of the setting depicted in the new illustration since it's the Forbidden Cities and not sparkly elf town, as Ro would say. And I am liking the ominous looking hoodie guy looming in the background, and the way he seems to be aware of Keefe while Keefe is maybe not aware of him. I do think this is possibly a critical part of the story somehow.

But I'm still not crazy about how the whole cover is so Keefe-centric and the one and only Moonlark is nowhere to be seen. It's just a little sad to me, and I see it as an indication of how the focus of the plot has shifted from where it started. I'd be fine with having a Keefe short story or a Keefe side story, but he needs to quit hogging that narrative.

Okay, end of rant lol
