Something I initially really liked about Cale's character is how he suddenly became the "trash" of the count's family and he seemingly takes it as an asshole permit.
No manners, rude? Well duh, He's the local trash.
And then, hundreds of chapters later it hit me:
This guy really never changed the way he acted, he says so himself and it's why Choi Han was able to easily recognize him in Choi Jung Soo's memories.
Which begs the question: What sort of internal narrative did he have going on as Kim Rok Soo to "justify" his behavior?
Baby Rok Soo was at the bottom of the social ladder, an orphan, poor and his uncle was an alcoholic and a gambling addict to boot
How many times do you think he heard things like "What can you expect from someone without parents?", or "Just what you would expect from someone who wasn't raised properly"
"Someone of your kind"
And then he became a Team Leader
How many things did he do or didn't do under the pretense of being "Cold-blooded"
It also doesn't help that he's unable to process praise or kindness directed at him.
Cale: “Hmm I don’t owe these people a full explanation, it’s too much work and too complicated. I’ll just give them the watered down version and avoid extra trouble”
*Proceeds to explain things is such a way and with such wording that he makes himself seem like the holiest, most self sacrificing, caring MF in all of history*
Cale afterwards: “… why are they looking at me like that?”
Me slamming the table: Kim Rok Soo got transmigrated into [Robbit Crossman]’s body instead of [Cale Henituse]’s body! Think about all the drama we can get from him trying to get on Alberu's good side! Think about how he will get involved with the Hunter plot much sooner due to being closer to King Zed!
Me flipping the table: Actually, I will do one better! Think about if he get transmigrated into [Robbit Crossman]’s much sooner, hence actually manages to form a good relationship with [Alberu Crossman] from the start! Think about him having [Choi Han] who is physically older than him follow him around like a lost puppy! Think about him raising the [Black Dragon] from the start! Think about him interacting with a younger [Cale Henituse]!
One of my favorite works from 2023
The hero of the silver shield, who, like any human being, has darkness ~
Maybe one day I'll find the courage to finish this portrait. But while I don't, you guys can have our Lord and Savior Cale Henituse in his military uniform.
Somehow my two hyperfixes met
Translation:
*(Choose your hero...)
❤️ Choi Han ❤️ Cale
Despair and laziness.
My subscribers have chosen the path of Cale. This is the path of laziness. Let's see where this leads.
scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.
People don’t understand the concept of liking two characters’ relationship in multiple contexts. They can be lovers in one setting and just friends in another, their dynamic doesn’t have to be consistent in every piece of art I make.
this is the funniest thing I’ve seen in any review ever
Finn + any pronouns + aroaceMostly lurk, but if I post/reblog it'll be about TCF/LCF or some web novels
