I want him to talk to his 7 year old self so badly
----
Kid!krs: why is he so mean to me
Krs: *sighs with a bittersweet expression*
Kid!krs: *tearing up* why can't he like me like mom and dad did???
Krs: it's not your fault, he was a terrible person.
Kid!krs: *sobbing atp* what if he's right about me
Krs: absolutely not, don't believe anything that scumbag says. He ruined his own life and is now poisoning yours, don't let him. You will be safe soon, I'm sure.
Kid!krs: *nods and wipes his tears and snot on cales shirt while he's embracing him*

Choi han, who saw all of this: ...why do you call yourself trash if you know you're not supposed to believe that piece of shit?
Krs: I never believed him, me being trash was because of my own failures. It has nothing to do with him.
Choi han: please stop doing that
Krs: doing what.
Choi han: you've never failed anybody, that sort of thing has always happened in situations outside of your control! Please open your eyes for one fucking sec-
Krs: i know
Choi han: then why-
Krs: because i failed myself, that little kid spends the rest of his life mourning his dignity because I didn't have the will to confront that piece of shit. And when i did, it was too late.
I'll only be able to accept it if Fake Hilsman turns out to be Jour's brother and the would-have-been father of KRS if he hadn't been pushed out by the White Star from his original body because that's the only way it would make sense that he managed to loot Cale the looter Henituse.
We've been blessed with so many good Raon expressions these last couple chapters.
Bonus:
Friendly reminder that Mary is older than both Cale AND Alver. Do you think Alver used to call her Noona (when he went to the underground city) when he was younger?
hear me out
currently reading chapter 206
"Why would he care about the people who tried to kill him? What about the people in his territory that were hurt because of them?"
All this /probably/ has some relation to actual situations he had in earth 1, very likely so
It might be as a result of his trauma the reactions to who is friend and who is foe are extremely intense. He will never friend those who hurt or attempted at hurting his close circle or underlings, it is most likely that the only end they will see is death, though how long till it comes depends on how long he will use them, his foes will never be friends. Ever.
i wonder if cale has "useless" information about farming in his mind that pops up from time to time.
I mean, the Soos were thinking about farming while retired, right? I know that CJS said it was "all just talk", but since KRS at that time knew about this, I think that he might have read at least a little about farming. After all, he is the type of person who likes have information beforehand AND he had Record. It would have just take him a couple of minutes. Then team 1 died and all the information became useless.
But we also know that he was saving for a farm before he transmigrated. So, he kept recollecting some information even though he might not have retired (and needed it) until he was much older.
I mean, he is not a expert, but knows more than the average person about the topic.
I wonder when Cale will have the conversation with Ron and Beacrox about his life as KRS. There’s always something standing in between that stops them from having that conversation!😭 I like how the Molan duo doesn’t press Cale about and are wanting for him to tell them. Knowing Cale’s personality he will info bomb them like he always does!🤣
My name is Saja. I’m a wife, a mother, and a woman who once believed her story would be simple. I thought my days would be filled with watching my daughter grow — from her first smile to her first steps — surrounded by the small joys of everyday life.
But life had other plans.
War has returned to our home. Again. And once again, we find ourselves living under skies that never seem to rest.
There was a moment — a fragile, breathless moment — when the bombs paused and the world seemed to remember us. It gave us hope. We thought maybe, just maybe, we could start to rebuild. But now, we are back in the dark — hiding, holding on, praying.
I’m writing this not as someone seeking pity, but as a mother who has no other choice but to speak.
Imagine holding your baby in the middle of the night, not because she cried, but because the world outside roared too loud for either of you to sleep. Imagine whispering bedtime stories not to lull her into dreams, but to keep the fear from settling into her tiny bones.
This is my life.
This is my daughter’s life.
And even now — especially now — I believe in softness. I believe in kindness. Because when everything else is taken from you, hope becomes the most valuable thing you have.
Why I’m Reaching Out Our home has been damaged. Our lives changed. But through it all, my daughter wakes up every morning with a smile. She reaches for me with trust, with love, with faith that I will keep her safe.
That’s why I keep going.
I’ve launched a campaign to ask for help — not because it’s easy, but because silence is no longer an option. I am asking for support not just for me, but for my baby, and for the quiet strength of so many mothers like me who are fighting, every single day, to hold their families together.
How You Can Help: 🤍 Help us restore parts of our home so we can live with dignity 🤍 Support women and mothers in Gaza with access to care and resources 🤍 Keep the light of hope alive for a generation born in the shadows of war
💛 If you can, please support our journey here:
If you can’t give, please consider sharing. Your voice might be the reason someone else hears ours.
From My Heart to Yours Maybe our lives are worlds apart. Maybe you’ve never lived through war. But if you’ve ever held a child and wished the world could be better for them — then you understand more than you know.
I don’t want my daughter to grow up thinking the world turned away.
Please, if you’ve read this far — thank you. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for caring. We are still here. Still hoping. Still holding on to every kind act like it’s a lifeline.
Reading tcf again and I had a realization that blew me out of the water.
Not only is it an unreliable narrator story, the narrator simply... Does not spell things out. You have to pick things up from context clues and body language, like this is some kind of game. It's crazy.
Like, here's some stuff that's NEVER EXPLAINED (in the parts I read, which was up to chap 600~)
Cale's trigger is whenever any child is in danger or hurt. His behavior immediately changes, even if he doesn't acknowledge it to us. It's especially obvious when he finds the crown for the first time.
Cale's gets self destructive when he's stressed. If he starts being weirdly self sacrificial or vindictive? He's stressed out of his MIND.
He's extremely petty about anyone who looks down on him. He convinces himself he's not, but it takes *ages* for him to forgive that kind of slight. And in some cases, it's enough to damn a person for good.
He actually has very obvious emotional tells that other characters have picked up on + they have already realized the points above and act accordingly when they see them.
Like, seriously. I thought I understood the subtleties of the story, but it took until now to see these traits. I was always kinda confused why he acted the way he did.
It just hits me that everytime Cale having those ‘I have an ominous/bad/iffed feeling’ moments is just his mind calculating and predicting the future based on the information he has through ‘Record’. It literally got mentioned when he took the Failure Test in the Sealed God Temple that his mind is constantly running, reviewing the past, analyzing every detail, and predicting the future.
So Cale, through cold logic, in his mind, totally knows for a fact those situations will come, he is basically just in deep denial about it all the time.
supposed to be a wip account for #tcf stuff, currently rereading tscir and will occasionly post. no i have not read part 2
