since we know Sophie is going to manifest another ability (like, c'mon, this is Shannon we're talking about) what do you guys think it'll be?

okay! circling back to my prior tags of "hmmmmm guster." now of course it's entirely possible Shannon will come up with some ability we've never heard of before to give her and so guessing is practically fruitless, but I think there's some basis for guster in canon

firstly, we don't have a guster in the main cast--which seems notable when we have the two other elemental abilities, fire and water (earth has not been shown to be an elven ability, though Sophie could also be the first--Sil wrote a fic with that concept once). why not complete the set?

especially when elemental abilities are described as more unpredictable/volatile/hard to understand (i'm between classes so I unfortunately can't pull quotes to cite atm, sorry </3), which seems perfect for a main character.

this could also explain the odd connections Sophie seems to have to both hydrokinesis and pyrokinesis. For example, how she's kind of drawn in by Linh's hydrokinesis when saving Atlantis and says she can feel the water calling her, how she (as others have pointed out) uses a lot of fire imagery in her telekinesis--searching for heat, burning, etc., and how she balanced so effortlessly on Riverdrift when it was tumultuous.

Marella and Linh have demonstrated the elemental abilities can be uniquely combined, which means we could take this affinity Sophie has to argue it's setting her up to complete the set as a guster. She's clumsy because she's more at home amongst wild winds, she's drawn to Linh's hydrokinesis because they'll be able to combine abilities later (which would also apply to Marella, but Sophie's shown hesitation around her ability and may be stunting herself), she utilizes heat in her other abilities because she's primed for elemental abilities, etc.

Am I 100% locked in to this theory? No, but I am intrigued by it and do think there's an argument for it :)

okay I definitely love this one! But I remember something about Mr. Forkle saying something like 'we ruled out elemental abilities' but I could be wrong...

also what's the fanfic you mentioned? Could you share the link?

He said that they ruled out pyrokinesis (her life would be hard enough without a forbidden ability), not elemental abilities as a whole!

And the fanfic is Rooted by @silveny-dreams :) (I'd provide a direct link, but it's being buggy for me atm)

so funny to me when people in the kotlc fandom are like “i hate sophie foster”

like buddy…. this is not the right series for you then 😭😭

sophie foster haters when they have to read a 10+ book series with sophie foster on every single page:

*reading the Sophie Foster series* man I sure hope Sophie Foster isn't going to be making an appearance

any good kotlc fanfiction out there….?? asking for a friend btw.

tumblr keeps deleting my lists!!! third times the charm!

i don't read a lot of fic and am picky™️, so this is mostly me bragging about what great writers my friends are

Ancillary Verse by @bronte-deserves-better its a series about Bronte Tiergan and Sophie its filled with Sempers headcannons for queer elves and it's definitely worth a read

i'm a secret (that nobody keeps), Kesline agnst, around Kesler finding out Juline is a member of the Black Swan, ive reread it four times (Tobi doesn't have tumblr anymore)

righteous hand of God(devil that you forgot), Wylie standing up to the Songs on Linh's behalf, very angsty ypu will probably cry, Just a Man, Grady trying to recover and go back to normal after Jolies death, Nothing But a Shadow, angsty Tiana Pirate au that is all. all by @crymeariveronceagain

Wherever you are is the place i belong, Sokeefe fluff and kisses, what the sokeefe should have been by @silveny-dreams

A Perfect Match, Koralie love story, mostly fluff, its got a lot of long chapters (maybe i'll write a au sequel with the author maybe I won't) by @official-kenralie-fanbase

highly suggest reading their other fics as well as these are just the ones i read, and they're all amazing writers

Would be really funny I think if Sophie was one of those kids that pretended to be a horse. Can you imagine how she would've reacted upon the alicorn dna reveal

imagine Forkle--who was watching her throughout her childhood--seeing little her start behaving like a horse, remembering they based her dna partially on alicorns, and going oh no

i have complicated feelings about kotlc "[character] deserves to kill" "let [character] loose" posts. because the thing is, in keeper, they don't want to. that's critical--they want peace, they don't want to kill or even fight; they only do it because they have to

so while that sentiment is most often a casual expression of support, and it can be an amusing one! it feels, at times, like we're lumping these characters into "cool badass vindicator" ideals or something. yeah women with swords are pretty, but sophie wants to be normal.

maybe she deserves to kill, which is a whole other conversation, but what about after? what about when it fucks her up beyond recognition and she doesn't know what to do with herself? because you don't get her killing without that

but then again it's just a casual post type for fun and isn't actually a big deal, I just think every time I see one "but they don't want that" (which can also be the point, but it doesn't seem like the posts account for that)

I agree, but you forget about one creature…
