okay there used to be discourse regarding whether fitz or keefe puts sophie on pedestal. but the truth is- they both do. but its not their fault. It’s a natural human instinct to put someone you really like on a pedestal, especially when you are faced with a lot of trauma.
starting off with fitz- he is incredibly lonely. At the start of the series, his only friends appear to be keefe, and his own sister- biana. He has never been able to fully trust anyone or share everything with them. But then he meets Sophie, this girl who, over the series he fully trusts. He says it himself- she is the only one he trusts. His first REAL and true friend, that he shares his fears, worries, feelings to. Naturally fitz sees her as this amazing, wonderful girl.
Similarly for Keefe, so many people have let him down in his life that he has never been able to fully trust anyone. Then he meets sophie, someone he can open up to, someone who validates all of his emotions. someone he gets desperately attached to. you can’t help but viewing the person you like in a pedestal, your brain immediately attaches an extremely positive image to them.
Now fitz has been placed on a pedestal by practically everyone, Sophie and fitz both saw eachother on pedestals, but over time, and especially after they dated, they realized that their visions of eachother, and what dating eachother may be like was not real at all. Now fitz is quite ambitious, particularly because of this pressure placed on him to be the best, to be the leader, by his family. Naturally one facet of sophie’s life he admires, is her powerfulness. He adores the fact that they are cognates. He has over romanticized the fact that they are cognates. He wants them to be this powerful, beautiful, telepathic, wow, power couple. Which is understandable. But… they have an emotional disconnect. Particularly because Sophie….well… likes Keefe, and she trusts him more.
Now for sokeefe- sophie most definitely does not view Keefe in a pedestal, mostly because she saw him as just a friend for so long. Of course keefe may have romanticized what his relationship with sophie could be in the past. But in the most recent books, he has mostly given up on trying to make her like him. He just wants to be there for her, hes pushed aside his feelings for her. So now, he’s just glad to be with her. Keefe sees her in a pedestal to some extent, but not in the way that fitz does. But i also think people are misplacing the difference. keefe does not see her in a pedestal per se, but it is more so that he has severe attachment issues, avoidant attachment LOL. he is super attached to sophie, like they are borderline codependent. anyways.
Now Keefe and Fitz both see sophie on somewhat a pedestal,it’s not their fault. and no. it is not the healthiest, but its a result of their trauma. Both of them have been betrayed, are lonely, have self - esteem issues, and a number of other things wrong. OF COURSE they are gonna see this beautiful kind amazing girl who finally makes them feel special, on a pedestal. Sophie has made both of them feel seen, for once in their lives. Now sophie broke fitz’s heart, by liking keefe this whole time, so I definitely don’t think fitz will see her on a pedestal anymore, which is a good things. Now their friendhsip can truly rebuild. As for keefe, i dont think he sees her on as much of a pedestal as fitz, but… he still does to some extent, only therapy and working on his self esteem issues can save him from that at this point.
