Haha “fleshed out”

(sorry I make anything and everything into puns)

I have been observing from afar and even though no one asked me here is my multi-paragraph essay on why Keefe 100% has abs

Okay so one of the main aspects of Keefe's keefiness is that he blames himself for what his friends go through, especially relating to the neverseen because of his mother. He feels like he has to fix it or compensate for it.

In Kotlc Everblaze, we see that when he is talking into the tracker in case the Neverseen is listening, he says he's been practising with the goblin throwing stars and that he won't miss again. This is further evidence of the fact that he feels he has to be better in order to protect his friends, and this was even before we learned that his mother was part of the neverseen.

Therefore, it seems reasonable that he would be training to fight against the Neverseen not just using throwing stars, but also trying to learn how to fight without weapons. By extension of this, he is also probably working out a lot, probably far more than is necessary, so he feels better capable of protecting his friends.

His anger and guilt only intensified after he learns the truth about his parents, and again with every altercation with the neverseen or other enemies, especially after events such as when Sophie and Fitz were attacked in Flashback or when he fought King Dimitar. He needs to be stronger and better to defend his loved ones like he couldn't before.

One of the main arguments of the anti-keefe-has-abs group is that he is a "soft artist boy" and that he uses art as a coping mechanism as opposed to physical activity. This is true, but you have to remember why he does a lot of the drawing in later books. He's trying to trigger memories they can use against the Neverseen.

Keefe is drawing as a coping mechanism, but this is just part of his main coping mechanism of throwing himself into trying do something, anything, to feel useful in the fight against the Neverseen in an effort to make up for all his mother's actions. He tries to trigger memories, tries to run away and "join the enemy", tries to sacrifice himself to save everyone else and tries to keep his mother away from those he cares about whom she would hurt.

He will do anything and everything he can which includes utilising both his mind (through triggering memories) and his body, through training until maybe one day he will be strong and fast enough to actually defeat his mother next time she tries to hurt the people he holds most dear.

Keefe will do anything in his power to make up for his mother's actions, to protect his friends, and to prove to them to himself that he isn't as useless as he has been every other time the neverseen has attacked.

Keefe will become as physically capable as he can until he feels capable enough.

Keefe will do anything, physically or mentally, to prove he's not as useless as he feels.

So in short, Keefe has trauma, so he works out, so he has abs.

If anyone put themselves through reading that, dare you to change my mind.

KEEFE HAS ABS

NO NO NO DONT TAKE MY WORDS OUT OF CONTEXT

I Like abs keefe but I think it’s a LIEEEE .He just doesn’t seem Like Type to put in that time and effort to get abs .But I mean the ideaaaaa is nice

But also about Sophie

I Like to think she always liked him just subconsciously soooo she subconsciously also gaslit herself into thinking he has abs

WHEN is that boy realistically finding time to work out. We see Fitz with an actual workout routine. Keefe is running away every 2 seconds and ik for a fact he hasn't eaten anything remotely nutritional with protein. no abs keefe is reality

.

Guys if KEEFE had abs

That insinuates he goes out of his way to consistently work out to get abs

AND GUYS WHY WOULD HE DO THAT

IN WHAT WORLD WOULD HE DO THAT

I See y’all’s responses and I see what y’all mean however In my opinion he’s very muscular but he doesn’t have abs

However I won’t deny the possibility

Guys if KEEFE had abs

That insinuates he goes out of his way to consistently work out to get abs
