Curate, connect, and discover
Ok but Gilbert is so pretty???? He's super pretty and I'm actually pissed we never get much of him! Has he ever even talked!?? Damn it I need him to have more action please he's so freaking beautiful!
Remember what I said about finishing this shit- I got a job and yesterday grabbed a pen in ages
It's a work on progress. I'm really tired, maybe I finish it later
Do y'all understand that he would rather face the horrors of torture and physical pain (thing he hates) than the people he thinks he failed to???!???
I'm not okay, I will never get over this, it hurts like the first time and that was like 5 years ago.
Don't talk to me
This is why I can't laugh with the slacker life joke, I genuinely feel sorry for this man.
He just wants to nap (honestly same).
When you think about it krs hasn't left the battlefield in almost 18 years (15 years for the cataclysm and 2+ years as cale henituse)
Sure the breaks he's taking in tcf are great and all but the looming threat of an upcoming battle has not left this mans psyche in almost 2 decades
The time he spent as team leader and cale henituse combined
And in p2 he's still running around fighting 😭 oml
His perseverance is amazing
Get this guy into retirement ASAAAPPPPP
Instead of being on a government list, he has a government list.
He also has the phone number of all the powerful and famous people, he thinks is a business relationship but they call at least once a month to hang out. Or what KRS describes as "catching up on plans and creating new strategies".
Judging by his track record as Cale Henituse, I wholeheartedly believe Kim Roksoo destroyed a few guilds and came very close to (if not succeeded in) overthrowing the government of at least one of the countries on earth.
They both need to stay away from scissors. Twins.
Do y'all see the vision?
Both "Beast People", Both parentless, Both got inadvertently adopted into a found family, Both looking like cinnamon rolls, Both could kill you, Their main parental figure is a smart, calculating sonovavich that is "weak", Both got that dangly strand and uncontrolled hair, etc...
I personally think it's a good thing for Cale that people don't know he has a healing power and how it works. Because then... People would get more demanding.
There are already too many people (background extras, not his allies) who look up to him like a saviour and hero and are grateful for being able to stand under the protection of his shield. The blood coughing and fainting is what makes them (the humane ones) not think of him as an invincible person who Should be at the forefront protecting them.
Imagine if people knew that when Cale Henituse coughs up blood, he's not actually hurt or dying but actually healing? That he's not injured and rather perfectly fine and healthy? There would be more people who would want to push him to become their hero and savior, relying on him to save them from all sorts of dangers. That is not something Cale, who has spent nearly half of his life sacrificing himself to save others' lives, deserves.
His allies too. Although I feel bad for them sometimes for all the headache and heartache he gives them, it's for the best.
People already view him as a hero and savior, a legend. They don't need more grounds to forget he's human. They'll take his protection for granted and push him to do more. Although Cale isn't the type to just do as they ask of him. In fact, the ones to make these demands would be the first to die. But it still would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, especially those close to Cale. Though they'd do everything in their power to destroy whoever says such things, it'd still hurt them to know people think of their Cale as more of a commodity than a person. Heck I'm afraid even some of the allies might get the idea that it's fine for the young master to cough up a little blood if it's for the greater good.
That's why, it's for the better that nobody knows the truth behind the coughing blood.
Good morning to Cale Henituse and Choi Han only
One of my headcanons is that KRS spent most of is carear as a team leader dehumanizing himself.
He was no longer Kim Rok-Soo but the Leader. He has more important things than having a break, or personal time. He was a fundamental piece of the machinery of the team and he needed to give everything to keep it running.
After all, he can't ruin the thing his hyungs died protecting.
Choi Han: What’s the hardest part of a vegetable to eat?
Choi Han: The wheelchair
*Cale choking in the back with a very confused Raon asking what that means*
Rosalin: so, Cale, how's your slacker life going?
Cale: Good. The other day I was reading a book about Stockholm syndrome. It was pretty bad at first, but by the end I liked it.
Rosalin: pff- *high pitched* yeah? I-im glad-
adopted 14 children in a month
threw money into lava
stole cookies from royalty
scammed a vampire to give him an allowance
ate a rock
set a lake on fire
bribed a prince with poison
impersonated a priest
fed a hobo
stole a tree
dived into a mummy lake
wished to cough blood elegantly
hand-embroidered outfits
served a freaked-out dragon tea
forced a prince to make an MMORPG account
made his enemy wash the dishes
beat up a guy with a rock
fed a tree
commiserated with a god over work-related sleep deprivation
let his kid eat poison
sang creepy hide and seek song
tried to dig a hole in the ground and failed
gave away bones as a present
converted a barbarian with the Power of Friendship
blew up an island (twice)
stripped in front of his bff's uncle
blew up a whirlpool
hugged his arch nemesis
defenestrated a man
got compared to a haystack
strangled a guy with his bare hands
ate a battery
fought a lake
stabbed himself with a stick
He took thinking out of the box too seriously
It truly takes someone like Cale Henituse to think of just casually teleporting the entire lair of not just a dragon but the last Dragon Lord herself into his backyard infested with monsters.
Holding aro/ace Cale Henituse and never letting him go because I can't be the only one who feels aggravated when I compliment someones appearance and everyone jokes about how I want to bang them.
I'm a firm believer he likes pretty faces not people.
___
KRS 18 y.o: she's pretty
Coworker: you like her? You need to ask her to go out!
KRS: no????
___
KRS 21 y.o: he's handsome, don't you think?
CJS: yeah, I don't know, he's not my type, you should try talk to him tho
KRS: ???why would I do that
And he deserved every second of it
There is no way God of Death didn't get beaten up even once by Choi Jung Soo or Lee Soo Hyuk, especially after he pulled the "Your friends' death was your fault".
So, I just imagine Choi Jung Gun either joining them or giving the broom to them like:
Kim Rok Soo: *stares at his new scar*
Teammates: Sir, you didn't have to do that by yourself.
Kim Rok Soo: I had to. I'm not gonna lose any more people. Even if there's a chance that I can't save you all, I have to keep trying. You people are gonna take over once I retire and become a slacker. Now, eat. We have more work to do. (poker face. Emotionally constipated.)
Teammates: 🥺 Sir, we will fight for you to the end of the world! 😭😭😭
Is the fact that when he did get close to someone, they died, so he never understood what came next in friendship or any other kind of relationship.
What do you do with the people that you love? He doesn't know, because he never had the time. He never learned how to share. With who? The dead? The graves? The rests of his loved ones? God?
You know most of the time people get angry at Cale because he can't for the life of him communicate things as they are, specifically regarding his health and seems to be unable to register his family worries for him.
And to that I said, of fucking course, his whole life on earth was horrible and he didn't develop emotionally because let's do a quick recap:
His parents died.
His abusive uncle took him in
He ended up in an orphanage.
When he was twenty the world collapsed.
He was bullied because he didn't have abilities.
Then the shelter he was in was destroyed
Once again he was alone until he met with LSH and CJS and let's not forget he was already 20 something.
Not long after they died as well.
Then he closed off with everyone because he didn't want to get attached just to lose them again.
He woke up in a novel
GoD confirmed he was supposed to die not CJS nor LSH.
He had to face his past again due to SG test.
...Well you get my point by now he was a little too busy surviving for him to actually develop self worth, most of his life he learned he wasn't someone who deserves affection or care and unfortunately no one said otherwise and if they did they die leaving him worse than before.
So it is no wonder he keeps things to himself all the time, after all why would others worry about him it makes no sense? At least from his pov.
That's why he is so detached at the beginning, still he can't help but try fixing things because it is the only action he knows
Surviving and saving others is so deeply engrained in him that unknowingly he keeps getting in a bigger mess. He got attached against his best efforts and gives more than he can take because he is not used to getting, the people who ever gave him anything always ended up dying before he could understand being emotional or plainly having emotions is normal.
Boyfriends, husbands, besto frendos, pals, idk. They are so special to me. I need more of them, like a side story about how Bud became Mercenary King or something
Hi, I present you Bud Illis AND Glenn Poeff fanarts, pretty neat huh
I think Bud and Glenn would have fought side by side quite often and I wanna learn dynamic poses, hope you like it ~ (° ~ ° ~)
The one on the ground is supposed to be a teleportation magic circle and the one in the air shield magic
They just look the same cuz laziness
..........................................................................................
Here's some pretty cool reference pictures in case you'll need it (the rest was just kinda freestyled)
I struggled drawing this pose so much and as you can see it's still off but maybe someone succeeds, who knows ٩(ˊvˋ*)و
Reasons Cale Henituse is the funniest motherfucker:
*People cheering for him in the streets* Hm. Don’t like that.
His self-proclaimed speciality is just disassociating on command
Someone: *helps him* Cale: *sighs* I guess I have to solve every problem you’ve ever had
When learning a language, memorised all the swear words before anything else
“I don’t like cats,” says Cale, holding two kittens tenderly, plotting a rebellion to instate a third cat as the new emperor
Single father of *checks notes* uh… 3 to 14 children,
All he wants is to retire to the country; can’t stop getting into international incidents
His relationship with the crown prince is basically: *points at each other* Bastard
Keeps telling people not to trust him while saving their asses from certain destruction
This loser thinks he’s ‘quiet’ and ‘good at keeping still’
Cale: *smiles gently* Everyone: oh god stop What the Fuck
‘Accidental Baby Acquisition’ trope but it’s ‘Accidental Family Acquisition’ and they’re all agents of chaos
“I heard you got hurt,” says a concerned child. “Yes, I coughed up blood.” Cale comforts, comfortingly.
[Girl hits on him] No thanks [Guy hits on him] No thanks
Everyone: you’re a good person Cale: incomprehensible, have a terrible day
Named his adopted son, a dragon, ‘Dragon’
Tells people to drink tea before pulling out something that will make them spray it everywhere like a cartoon
*to a 13 year old* No you can’t train to become a knight you’re too young *to a 5 year old* Alright tonight we’re gonna blow up an island and participate in the slaughter of half a race make sure to protect me well
His entire fucking backstory, like what? What???
Raon: I’ve only had this human for an hour and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone on this continent and then myself Cale: That’s terrifying please stop talking
Never thinks, at any point, to tell anyone that he has a healing power
He’s THE most extra bitch. Orchestrates his b&e’s like he’s conducting an opera, always plans for maximum Dramatic Effect
*The crown prince doesn’t help in a terror incident* That’s fine because he’s weak. *Finds out he’s strong actually* Bastard??????
Gives his kids an extravagant allowance. Doesn’t let them spend it and buys everything for them instead
‘I should have just got beaten up’, Cale thinks, war waging around him. ‘That would be far less annoying.’
Alberu, looking at the people Cale gathered: I didn't know we had so many strong allies.
Cale: Wait till you see the dragons
Alberu: What?
Cale: What
SO ACCURATE IM CRYING
Tcf texposts (because I'm procrastinating on my assignments and I have Adobe illustrator privileges)
That's why he selfishly saved them yk yk
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.
Cale: I don't like these people *sacrifice himself for them* I don't care about this kingdom *saves it* I hate this drink *drinks it because his butler gave it to him* I'm a bad person *would die for people he didn't know*
Cale: I want a slacker life.
Cale: But to have a peaceful life, my family needs to have a peaceful life as well, and we need to live in a peaceful world too to not be bothered by anyone.
Cale: So let’s achieve world peace.
Cale: Then let’s do multiverse world peace because other worlds could also bother us and for an unknown reason I HAVE to be the one who does it instead of sending my subordinates and lazing around.
Cale: And while striving for world peace, something that nobody has been able to achieve so far, I’ll complain that I don’t want to work and say I’m weak.
Cale: Ah, I’m weak. *killing the strongest villain who tried to become god*
Cale: I want a slacker life. *trying to achieve world peace and working more than anyone else*
Cale: Sigh…
Reader: Sigh…
I love them, we love a supportive father and his children
Just a proud dad and his overpowered Dragon toddler
💖
Every enemy's POV ever when they fuck with Cale's slacker plan
week’s dump
