So Cute

reading some cale quotes for fic purposes and i can't believe how much you can forget when you blitz through 1000+ chapters in less than two months.

like, cale curses so much. so much. i guess i didn't really internalize it since it was spread out over the whole novel, but he has such a dirty mouth and literally every time he mentions his enemies, he's cursing up a storm.

"i don't care if he's lived a thousand years or not, that shithead is a fucking bastard from now on." cale henituse, on the greatest threat of the whole part one of the novel. he's so eloquent.

i forgot how snarky his internal voice is. actually, maybe not forgot. just, kind of got used to it? until i stopped registering the absolutely sick burns he keeps dishing out on the regular.

it takes him until chapter 270 to realize that he should have just let choi han beat him up. that seems like a lot, but we've still barely reached the eastern continent. adin is still alive. cale doesn't even know who the white star is. the trouble hasn't even started.

also, at one point he actually admits to being raon, on and hong's parent??? out loud??? i can't believe i missed that, the whole dodori thing distracted me.

"raon. I’m someone who cannot forget. don't be like me." i didn't actually forget this one, but it feels like a gut punch every time i read it again.

Cale is the loser

Raon supporting his father like the best son he is.

Guy at my school that my friends kind of know found out he's aroace (he's not very involved in the queer community) and his first reaction was just "why doesn't the flag have a dragon like Wales"

KRS would always be my pretty princesses (could throw me across the room with one hand)

Dw guys you can both get what you want for the very low price of ! Losing everything

more pretty jason tehe

Year 4 after Cale Henituse changed my brain chemistry and rewired my brain.

Book so good i have nothing to say about it so i just obsess over minor side characters instead

and with your help it can rack up 700k notes on tumblr in 2024

no tumblr this doesnt need tags im releasing it into the wild as god intended

He's so funny. I remember little things about the novel, but his fearless ass was so funny to read

im fucking OBSSESSED with han yoojin. this guy is literally the most insane one in the group. to outsiders he looks like the normal guy. he runs the show. hes the weakest. he defeated one of the main antagonists responsible for his brothers death through the power of sheer derangement. the strongest and the best listen to him. he knows what hes doing. hes absolutely clueless. his only skill is being extremely good at baby sitting. hes a single mom of 50. his relationship with sung hyunjae is so complicated there are no words to describe it. he time travelled to the past. he actually did not. hes overprotective of his brother. this guy fucking realised the one on the news isnt his brother only because "well if it really were my brother he wouldve blown up the entire region not just a building". he said this with pride in his eyes. he is the calmest of them all. hes feral. he has murdered quite a few people with his bare hands. hes innocent. he has monsters as pets. hes dumb as fuck. everyone listens to him. hes fighting for his life every other chapter. this is not the most unhinged thing about him.

Alberu and Choi Han being friends

@ringoahiru you ask for it. I did my best but I stoped reading the novel in the 700ch almost three years ago(shame on me, yes.)

Choi Han is an absolutely sarcastic asshole with no chill, and Alberu vibes with that even if he shouldn't because he is like the crown prince. Like, Choi Han would tell a noble to shut the fuck up, and Alberu would just gaslight the poor man into thinking he said nothing.

They are the type of friends who absolutely roast each other with no hesitation. They are like:

Choi Han: morning, fake ass prince. How was your day? I hope bad like your hair style.

Alberu: *not missing a sec* Good morning, overrated stinky dog. My morning was good until I saw your ugly face.

And Cale just learned to not try to understand them anymore. He is sitting there, looking at them, eating cookies, and thinking, 'They're such good friends, bc he has a distortion of the concept of friendship.

And their bond activity is just fucking with Cale until he looks like he regrets every decision in his life. Alberu and Choi Han agree that he looks one step closer to committing first-grade murder and is the most hilarious shit ever.

Alberu: hi, old man, How was your day?

Choi Han: dunno, how was your day, Cale-nim?

Or,

Choi Han: the other day I was thinking-

Alberu: do you think? I thought domestic dogs didn't

Choi Han: *not even blinking*-is Cale-nim the protagonist of a reality show for the Ancient powers?

Alberu: holy sh-

*Cale with his eye twitching as his only reaction, plotting how to ruin the rest of the week of these motherfukers*

But at the end of the day, both of them know deep down that if something happens to the other, they will throw hands with the gods if it is necessary.

Choi Han would punch some Nobels without a thought in his mind if someone insulted Alberu, and Alberu would ruin the life of the first idiot to say something about his Instructor-nim. They love each other; they know it, but they will rather kill themselves than say it out loud.

Good morning to Cale Henituse and Choi Han only
