What Strength Really Means 💪

✅️ Vetted by @gazavetters {537} ✅️

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

KRS waking up as Cale: Busy day busy day gonna avoid being beaten to a pulp. Gotta catch all these APs to live a slacker life. I've got like 5 major plans and 43 backup plans running in the background anD WTF IS THAT A HERO TITLE!? WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?!

OG!Cale waking up as KRS: You know what *doesn't go to work* *goes on a reading binge*

Has anyone ever talked about how seriously Krs/ogcale took the family motto.

"There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness instead."

I'm pretty sure erasing yourself from history for everyone else's peace and happiness wasn't what Deruth would've wanted, Roksoo 😭. Did you really have to take it that literally? (yes, yes he did)

Honestly, I was once somebody who thought ogcale was being too extreme with the trash thing. Like, 'Violan is beautiful, intelligent, elegant and talented, it's such a stretch that people hated her and Basen so much that Cale had to do that'.

Then I saw this comment on Basen's wiki page (you can still find this at the bottom of the comments to this day)

(They are factually wrong btw)

But bc of this, I was like oh…

I get it now.

That must've sucked.

Sorry for ever doubting you ogcale.

You did what you had to do.

We love and appreciate you for it.

(Like if a person irl had this thought, I can just imagine what the extended family were saying)

Yay lol

one hc i have for the fake hilsman besides him being a thames and jours brother is that he actually used to rob og cale on a semi yearly occurance and og cale would privately crash out abt it

[jenjenmina]

My personal headcanon:

Deruth is overall an average guy, not ugly but not extraordinarily handsome, but has the most gorgeous reddish-brown eyes ever.

Jour, while very beautiful, has very unnerving eyes. They're pretty but make your skin crawl if they linger.

A few days ago i was whining abt not being able to draw pants and then i looked at my blorbo and i was like well i guess ill just have to learn. The secret to making matching pants to frilly shirts is to make the pants frilly as well, apparently

[jenjenmina]

People hate krs!Cale???

TLDR; People don't hate krs!Cale. Some people think og!Cale fans do (they don't). They hate og!Cale because of it.

I just recently remembered about a reddit post asking about 'why do people hate krs!Cale just because of og!Cale?' and just… wow. I checked and it's deleted now and thank goodness.

It was 10 months ago so you can tell what they said stuck with me. Not in a good inspirational way, as in it was like a parasite that wouldn't leave and kept filling me with rage because of how wrong it was.

To summarize, it was basically saying that "og!Cale fans are hating on krs!Cale just for their own agenda, krs!Cale did nothing wrong, the soul swap was consesual, why does og!Cale even have fans?"

Almost everyone in the replies was like 'I didn't know people liked og!Cale' or 'People hate krs!Cale??' but I noticed one person pointed out that op was a mdzs fan. They were basically saying that op was projecting the stanwars of 'Wei Wuxian vs Jiang Cheng' of the mdzs fandom into tcf. Honestly they were rude, but they had a point.

(For context, mdzs is a popular book. In it's story, the main character that people love, Wei Wuxian, has some conflicts with a character people are divided about, Jiang Cheng. And in the mdzs fandom, WWX stans hate JC, JC stans don't hate WWX but WWX stans feel like they do just because JC stans defend JC. So it's almost always a stanwar there.)

Tbh, I always felt that there were people in the fandom who don't like og!Cale or don't like even mentioning him. Every so often, I'll see someone invalidating his experiences, him as a character, or people's love for him. Like "(character) didn't do anything wrong to ogcale", or "What did ogcale actually do", or "I'm sick and tired of ogcale stans and fics". I ignored it, people are entitled to their opinions no matter how much I disagree or think they're wrong I don't care to confront them.

But that reddit post was what basically confirmed for me/convinced me that some people feel insecure because of og!Cale. They subconsciously think og!cale as a character and people's love for him automatically makes krs!Cale "someone who stole ogcale's identity and isn't actually Cale and doesn't deserve everyone's love for him as Cale". You know, they think that's what og!Cale fans think.

I'm one person so I can't speak for everyone but I don't think anyone actually thinks that about krs!Cale.

I don't wanna invalidate people's experiences in the fandom, especially since I don't have concrete proof of what that reddit post said because it's deleted and i blocked everyone who said stuff like this: "(character) didn't do anything wrong to ogcale", or "What did ogcale actually do", or "I'm sick and tired of ogcale stans and fics". So there will most definitely be people who will question ME about these experiences and say it didn't happen.

But I don't think anyone hates krs!Cale because of og!Cale. If they do, they don't represent the entirety of og!Cale fans and you don't have to hate og!cale as a character because of it.

Krs!Cale and og!Cale isn't a stan war. It never was, it never should be. It's not Jiang Cheng and Wei Wuxian.

It's not rocket science. Everyone in the replies of that reddit post didn't know people were hating on krs!Cale because people AREN'T hating on krs!Cale.

+++to that one specific person who here on tumblr who hates on authors who writes fics of ogcale doing krs!Cale things like saving the world and being loved, click off. Don't like, don't read. You know how easy it is to mute users on ao3? You know how easy it is to exclude ogcale as a character in the filters? You know how easy it is not be rude to people who people who are just minding their own business?
