Theancientdreamer - To Be An Ancient Plotter

😢

Today is a battlefield, and I am the only soldier. Anxiety, self-doubt, intrusive memories- they all showed up, dragging their sharp edges through my mind.

The magical thinking whispered lies about escape, about fixing everything if I could just be someone else. I’ve been fighting them all day, and now I’m too drained to even think about self-care. Survival may be the only thing I can manage today

nika + asura crumbs …?

My friend who didn't even reach chapter 400 of TCF asked me why I love ogCale so much ?

I told her every single reason why I love ogCale so much. And I don't love him after reading chapter 656, I have loved him since chapter 1 !

The reasons I loved him before reading chapter 656 are:

His face! He looks like an angel. I started reading TCF after seeing his face!

He never hurts anyone physically.

He hates gangsters and scammers.

He respects women and defends them (according to wiki).

He doesn't create problems for his step family.

He comforted his father after Jour's death (he was between 5-8 years old)

Unlike other 2 faced nobles, he is true to himself.

He isn't greddy for powers or titles.

He never shouted or raised hands at Basen

And the reasons I loved him after reading chapter 656 and side story are:

He understands krsCale so well. He never let any misunderstanding happen when they talked.

His smile is very bright despite what he went through.

He destroyed his reputation for his step family at the age of 8.

He kept acting nonstop for 10-12 years.

He survived 20 years in the middle of the war.

He showed director Mia her/his place. (Director Mia harassed krsCale quite a lot)

He truly wishes krsCale to live happily and peacefully.

He told krsCale how he could avoid being the duke.

He took care of krsCale' responsibility despite the fact that he can easily avoid it.

His eyes were shaking when he heard Choi Jung Soo is dead. Means he actually cares about the dead people.

He can do anything for his family and still cares about them.

He didn't insult Harris villagers because he is a heartless person, but rather, he was also hurt (It's not justification but explanation)

Because of him, krsCale now fully accepted his new identity.

He is very elegant and noble-like.

But when it's needed, he becomes a a cool trash.

Most importantly, he let krsCale dig his mom' grave and let krsCale have Jour' power.

All of the TCF characters are tragic. Like KRS, Choi Han, Raon, Alberu, Mary and everyone else.

But I can relate with ogCale more than I can with anyone else.

He lost his mother at the age of 5-8. Instead of mourning himself, he comforted his father. Then when his step family came, instead of creating problems for them, he destroyed his reputation for them. He also kept his distance from his family for their own shake despite the fact that he loves them dearly . He also gave up his birth right for Basen.

Despite doing so much for everyone around him, he lost his family. Instead of hiding from the war, he participated in the war to avenge his family. He knew he could die but he still kept fighting.

Then after doing so much, he agreed to let his place taken by a stranger. When everyone got a second chance, he didn't get any. When everyone forgot all the pain they suffer in the 1st timeline, he still remembers it.

It would be easy to do so when his family was dead. But now that he knows they are alive, isn't it pure torture that he can't meet with them?

Maybe he wished for a very long time so that his family would come back alive. Now that they are alive, he isn't allowed to see them.

Now he is taking care of a unknown child and a team he has no connection with.

He never lived his life for himself.

1st for his father after Jour's death.

Then for his step family.

Then to avenge his family and territory.

Finally, for a his niece and team.

He never lives for his own shake!

Dedicated to those who live in spite of the horrors Spent a whole month working on this project and here it is just in time for my city's i

Fell in love with the storyline

Got Plopped In a Ghost Story, You Still Gotta Work: A visual primer for English speakers

This took me a week. I did this for ORV like 4 years ago so it felt like my moral obligation to make one again.

Some notes on character designs and images without text:

Gorals and domestic goats look very different, but in Manor of the Blind attention is put into how these two are similar and contrasting, the truly noble Go Yeongeun with the white goat and the sinister Baek Saheon with the black goat. I also picked a literal goral instead of a mountain goat (which are naturally white) because gorals look more like roe deers than goats, making the 3 of them more closely linked.

Because this is a horror novel and unnatural features aren't mentioned, I tried to keep this as grounded as possible. Sorry to the three WHABs I eliminated in cold blood ⭐

Another hardliner of of grounded designs is Jin Nasol, who gets the most ostentatious anime character treatment besides Jay in fanart. She is coldly utilitarian and prizes efficiency over all else, there is no way that woman has bangs

I am not giving Park Minseong brown hair. There is nothing wrong with a good warm black

Lee Jaheon is often depicted as an adorable little newt in fanart, but a huge part of why he is so hysterical is that he is scary, so I picked more intimidating lizard traits so he functions in both dramatic heroic scenes and eating granola bars with the wrappers still on. He gets to keep the newt mask though

I gave Braun white gloves at first but I saw a Braun cosplayer and a demon possessed me. I have no idea what colour is canon. who doesnt love black leather

Making Jang Heo-un the "sharp eyes meek personality" trope made my brain light up so good. I was trying to contrast with the relaxed eyes of the easygoing Park Minseong to make them more obviously different but this feels cosmically correct

You can use these pics in whatever. ⬆️
