my partner is only 40 but nestled within him is the soul of an elderly man
βHey, look. I got the hammer. And it only took me, like, what? 10 seconds. 11 tops.β
I'm thinking of Symphony of the Sixth Blast Furnace by Evgeny Sedukhin again...
Cale says he is a bad person, a selfish, stone cold bastard because he spent at least 10 years believing the words he heard on his team funeral and after it.
And he had nobody to say the opposite, nobody who knew him, who cared about him. To prove them wrong, to insist that they are the actual bastards without heart for saying that to a mourning person.
He was alone, terrified of getting close to people again, and thinking that the deaths of his family was all his fault. Of course he thinks he is a bad person.
For him, people that don't protect their family are trash, so he is the worst human being that ever put a foot on the planet.
If you're re-reading TCF from the start, my advice to you would be to read with a slightly different perspective. Instead of taking the dialogues as conversation between two characters, take it as advice to yourself. Whether it's the Henituse family motto of Living for peace and happiness, or Cale's words to Alver Your existence is natural, or Lee Soo Hyuk's advice to Kim Roksoo Being alive is the best. All of these are words that have given me newfound hope in life. We often lose ourselves to the fast-paced world's competitiveness. A single failure makes us hopeless and we feel worthless because of it. TCF has always been a beacon of hope for me in times of darkness. The other name of TCF is healing. It's a story that heals not just Kim Roksoo but all of us readers as well. And I'm so thankful to Yoo Ryeo Han-nim for creating such a story.

Erin what about an AU where Peter gets taken in by Gordon because of his uncanny ability to detect crime (aka his spidey sense).
wait... you're onto something here... peter WOULD find the one cop in the city that's not corrupt and they both get attached...
but now I'm just thinking about it like this:
batman (appeared on a rooftop like usual): gordon.
gordon: what?
batman: who is that.
peter: hi batman π
gordon: found him at a crime scene. he's my new partner
peter, stirring shit: im his better version of robin
damian!robin: EXCUSE ME?
