Cale and big moves🎵🎶

I don't know if it was said before but let me say it anyway gang. everything that Cale trys to do becomes a bigger thing like

if you told him to poke a hole in the wall he'd end up taking the entire thing down

all his moves end up becoming bigger because he makes structural changes🎵 digs into the foundation of systems and uproots that entire thing 🎶 just because he doesn't like it and isn't willing to work surround by it, that's also kind of the reason that his dream is being a slacker and his action are the kind that would never let him achieve it. He really only wants to become a slacker with a world order that he finds acceptable🎶🎶 that's why he didn't want to get tangled up into the world of BoaH, because he knows himself, his strict bottom lines and stubbornness to achieve his goals. in this essay i will-

On Mary: a note

note on describing mary's voice from the perspective of an in-universe character (who wouldn't know what a 'google translate' voice is)

“[a] child with a stiff voice ... [like] her vocal cords can no longer fluctuate.”

the implications? many, and all with great potential for fics.

A new understanding of cale’s character

cale henituse is a depressed bastard (we kind of been knew) am currently rereading the novel, so this time I noticed a tea symbolism, where the after the first time ron gave cale lemon tea and he drank it life's kind been giving cale lemons ever since. so of course it got me thinking more about the relationship between cale and ron and find that it would be interesting to study.

what kim rok soo observed of the relationship between og!cale and him was that ron didn’t have any particular like for cale, so could he as cale also operate under that or..?

Beacrox is smiling so much more now:

op..🥹

Sometimes, all I want is for Cale to absolutely loose his shit.

Like kicking and screaming cursing about how his slacker life keeps getting away from him. Like we know how hilariously devastated he is as readers, but I don’t think those around him understand just how OBSESSED Cale is with achieving his slacker life.

Like I want them to know the batshit decisions this walking disaster has made for the sake of a peaceful slacker life rolling in money.

He has scammed, looted, burned, fought, bled, fainted, stabbed himself etc. just for that stupid slacker life. Or maybe just once, even though I know this may be OOC, I want Cale’s thoughts to be broadcasted out loud.

I don’t know, maybe he gets cursed or something and suddenly Alberu, Choi Han and company are in on the batshit insane voices in Cale’s head plus the terrible choices he makes to get his slacker (which only makes his slacker life go far away haha).

Like do y’all REMEMBER that one scene in Part 2 where Alberu asks Cale to tone himself down lest he births another religion in ANOTHER WORLD.

This dude’s thought process is an instant 0 to 100 percent. Bro does not know moderation.

Cale, feeds some kittens: Welp you’re part of the family now.

Cale, free a dragon who follows him around: Guess you’re my son now.

Cale, meeting feral Choi Han: Oh? Hi, protagonist of the novel who kicks my ass canonically that I could definitely just avoid meeting at all instead going out of my way to stalk to the gates of Rain City. Want a meal, a bed and mental stability?

Also Cale: Hehehe, but I’mma justify it saying that I’ll make all of you pay for your meals (even though in reality I’m just gonna sacrifice myself for y’all)

Fire 🔥

We've been blessed with so many good Raon expressions these last couple chapters.

Bonus:

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.

🌸 From One Mother’s Heart – Please Read 🌸

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:

I Am Saja – A Mother Holding On Through the Return of War

My name is Saja. I am a wife, a mother to a precious 8-month-old girl, and I am writing this in a moment that I wish I didn’t have to live t

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.

With love and endless gratitude

happy birthday to thebaddest 🧎‍♀️‍➡️🧎‍♀️‍➡️

OP I have tears in my eyes, I literally have the perfect wip saved in my files for this 🙏🙏🙏

I've been thinking. Dragons are the greatest beings in the world right? The rulers of mana, the living gods. With a flick of their wrist they can perform complex magic that human mages need to cast many complicated circles for. So here's the thing. Why do almost all the dragons have humanoid forms? Save for Raon, who simply refuses to polymorph, and Eruhaben, whose polymorphed form is an elf (which is not so different from a human) every other dragon we have come across across three worlds now has a human form. Sure, the human form is smaller than their real one. Convenient, easy to move around in. Easy to blend in into the human society. But the thing is, why do they need to blend in? Dragons like Exion and Eruhaben are exceptions who like to mingle with the humans. But dragons with superiority complexes like pretty much every other dragon we saw on Aipotu, and the loner dragons of Nameless 1 like Rasheel. Why do they need a human form? Why don't they ever polymorph into something like, idk, a cat? Maybe a freaking swan? Why always a human? Mila is understandable. But why did Rasheel appear in his human form at the palace (during his first appearance) when appearing in his dragon form would have been much more intimidating? He didn't have any reason to be considerate because he was pissed for having his sleep disturbed. And for beings at the pinnacle of magic it doesn't even make sense to take the humanoid form for the sake of convenience, because they can literally do nearly everything through magic! And creatures who are considered the most prideful and adamant about being unique to the point they don't take after their own parents, does it make sense to try to take the form of "lesser" creatures like humans? Again, Eruhaben and Exion are supposed to be exceptions. So why is almost every dragon we come across in humanoid form? I just don't understand!

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.

CALE HENITUSE *SCREAMS* Available on my shop

not even just that, i'm in the 400ish chapters and han yoojin deadass tripped bc the building was shaking while checking on song tae won who was taking a bath?? butt naked??? and bro deadass gets up from the tub??? butt naked??? to steady him???? and proceeds to use his body to shield him from the shaking building???? this was described as 'almost as if in a hug' btw??????

It probably sounds like a joke or an exaggeration when fans of The S-classes that I Raised talk about how homoerotic this non BL novel is, but reading this book is wild sometimes. Yeah the main character can't go more than like two chapters without emphasizing how hot the men in his life are, but also some of these characters will have the most intense yandere thoughts about about him. The guy who the main character considers the peak of male perfection deadass thinks to himself "Even if Han Yoojin were collapsed completely, the process of pulling him together and setting him back on his feet would certainly be enjoyable" like he's the black bellied CEO male lead of an imprisonment manhwa

yes unrequited love calberu but also hero x prince choiberu

let's give him a reason to be scared 🤭

Cale Henituse survived an abusive household, a terrible orphanage, an apocalypse, monsters, several wars, gods messing with his life and dragons, alternate universe but if you ask him what is the scariest thing for him, he'll probably answer Ron.

crying screaming throating up-

I am so insane about this actually.

Wrote a thing again:

Alberu & Cale Henituse, Alberu & Tasha

Alberu-centric (1883 words) <t rating>

Summary:

Alberu Crossman was used to living in an empty palace. There were servants, there were workers, knights, record keepers and mages, yet ultimately it was empty.

He was surrounded by undercover dark elves risking everything to help him, his aunt giving him unconditional love and support yet he still felt alone.

He wanted to make the future a better place but did not think himself worthy of existing in it. He learned and trained and did everything in his power to live up to the title of ‘crown prince’ and be better than everyone around him. After all, if he himself is not needed he just had to make his skills indispensable and earn his right to exist through them.

And then, he met Cale Henituse.

......

Or inspired by the stupid feeling when you wanna go home but you're already there, so now what? except it's Alberu and he found his home in the people around him

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.

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!🤣

Always thought of the idea that Cale, despite being oblivious to everything else, is actually extremely aware of his surroundings all the time.

And maybe this was discovered by the kids when they found out that he wouldn't get jump-scared no matter what they did (he tried to act scared for them but his stoic face couldn't quite convince anyone).

And everyone around him thinking how it must be some sort of trauma response to staying in the front lines of every battle ever.

(They aren't exactly wrong about the trauma part)

A subconscious habit developed as Kim Rok Soo, just another means to live another day.

But now, he lets himself space out for longer durations. Not observing his surroundings like a hawk and just, well, breathing.

And when he does blank out, he ends up flinching at almost every sound ever.

And that led to the belief that their vigilant Commander carries such a burden on his shoulders that he sometimes doesn't even notice his own family walking upto him (who are mostly trained individuals, or a traumatised high schooler, or two kittens–who all had to learn to walk stealthily just to survive, much like he once did).

Ironically, he always gets scared whenever Ron enters, even more so when he's already aware of the butler's presence.

The old man sometimes deliberately makes no noise when entering, just to see Cale flinching so hard and then acting nonchalant afterwards.

But Cale doesn't dislike it. Simply blanking out amidst this comforting safety that he had always wished for. With his family always beside him.

Alternative version of og cale and og choi han's first meeting

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.
