Only The Young Is Sooo Sophie Foster Coded

“only the young” is sooo sophie foster coded

Alden's "no reason to worry" thing makes it seem like he has a tendency to ignore problems/act like they don't exist, but the truth is actually the opposite. When the Council dismisses his concerns about Project Moonlark, he goes behind their back and spends 12 years searching for Sophie. He's constantly working on assignments, showing up in the middle of the night smelling like wildfires, etc.

He takes problems incredibly seriously. He just tries to downplay them for the sake of others, while trying to handle them on his own.

(That's what happens when someone is raised as the sole child of one of the most influential families in the world. He thinks that he's supposed to be capable of dealing with every problem by himself. That's also why, when he mind breaks, he doesn't tell anyone about the guilt he's feeling until it's too late.)

fitz is the kind of guy to see his brother and go "is anyone gonna kill that" and not wait for an answer

local tumblr user just realized fintante isn't actually canon. 87 dead at the scene and an additional 126 injured. more at seven

spent ten painful minutes in the kids section for this

Keefe tried to kill Gisela-in-disguise-as-Cassius without any hesitation. Sophie punched Gethen with the Sucker Punch when he was tied up and posed no threat.

What makes Fitz's actions towards Alvar any different?

It's not the first time a character has tried to harm a family member. And Alvar posed a lot bigger of a threat to them at that time than Gethen did when Sophie punched him.

And also: Fitz tried multiple times to find ways to keep Alvar out of the fight without killing him. He tried to knock him out with an entirely harmless device. He tied him up. Even when the Neverseen was trying to goad him into killing Alvar, he told them he'd knock Alvar out instead of killing him.

Whether or not you think Fitz's actions were justified, he's not the only character to do something like this, and condemning him or saying that he's evil for this while ignoring similar actions by other characters is really unfair.
