There’s something so special to me about queer-platonic relationships in stories. When you see people so full of love for one another that it transcends any labels because they don’t need them. They don’t need to define their relationship to know that what they have is special. They can just feel it through the way they support and understand one another.

I think love is most beautiful in this form. Not to say other forms are not as special or important, of course they are. It’s just the way that love is seen not out of any desire but pure adoration for someone as an individual. It’s them seeing each other, recognizing their flaws but promising to always be by their side. No expectations, no doubt. They just love each other.

I think more people need to get used to the idea that love isn’t just about a romantic connection. It’s a genuine, human bond that can never be simply defined. Just because two characters don’t “get together” in canon doesn’t make the love they clearly feel for each other any less real. I would take a pair who don’t ever get together that take time to build a bond and trust each other over a pair that starts dating just because it’s the “obvious” thing to do (If that makes sense?) any day.

Because at the end of the day, we all want to feel seen—to have a real meaningful connection to another person. I think that’s why I love QP relationships in media so much. The story isn’t moved by the expectation that the characters will get together, it’s moved by the characters learning how to be human together.

Leonard and Klein are so funny to me. Imagine being a (poser) poet protected by the moonlight. The world's most pathetic and performative yearner. and then going and investing all your yearner energy into the most avoidant homophobe ever who probably wants to call you slurs.

Bahahaha this!!! It’s just such a yummy concept.

Their dynamic is so interesting to me.

Lotm spoilers

Something something Klein fighting a battle putting his humanity at stake in contrast to Amon going out in search of humanity….

…the reason Amon lost his fight against Klein being his lack of humanity…

The man with nothing but himself against the man built on the support of others…

I like it.

“Are you really not considering becoming my blessed?”

Yk I had extremely neutral feelings towards Amon the entire time I was reading lotm, but now that I’m done with it I’m like, stupidly fond of the guy???? He just amuses me…

Like. He’s terrifying and annoying but also just a silly guy. Idk.

I want to draw him….

[namelessbug6]

This was so mean of me. I’m sorry. Hey past self, can you not make me cry more about lotm than I already am? Thanks.

Adding on to this….

“I won’t lose too much, just myself. There are always some things more important than others.”

-Klein, chapter 1368

I can’t actually string together more of an analysis yet, I’m still trying to digest that ending. But, yeah.

….

Yeah.

I was thinking about character motivations (what they want vs what they need, stuff like that) and it got me thinking about Klein and how… tragic his character is.

From the start, he was suddenly forced to adapt to an entirely new life without any warning, giving him barely any time to mourn the sudden loss of everything he knew and loved. From that moment on he adapted a lifestyle based on things “not being too bad”. As long as things weren’t to bad, he could bare it and be content. This already establishes that well known loneliness we see throughout the story, and while it’s not a horrible mindset, it’s still vaguely tragic to me. It is apparent that without getting any closure for his past he can never truly be at ease. But he is mentally strong, so he bares the weight of his grief honestly really well all things considered.

What really solidifies the tragedy, however, is when he finally grows more comfortable, able to enjoy the love of his new family and companionship of his colleagues, but has that all torn away all at once. From the moment he had to stop living his life as Klein Moretti, his character starts to shift. Now not only is he facing that ever present hole in his heart from his life before he transmigrated, he has now lost his only emotional anchors he had in this world…

I haven’t finished lotm quite yet, but in my eyes Klein is a character who craves rest and companionship. He cares so deeply about the people in his life but is constantly forced to hold back for numerous reasons. His lifestyle drags him from mission to mission uncovering secrets and battling insane beings without much rest. We can read this shift in his character quite obviously through the personas he dons (I’ll probably make a different post about this at a later time…). But the point is…he never lets himself be truly at ease. Not because he doesn’t want to, but because he can’t.

The tragedy of knowing what you want—of knowing yourself so well to understand that what you desire most can never be fulfilled without changing the world you find yourself in, and choosing to change things regardless of how much pain you find yourself in during the process—that is the sort of tragedy Klein represents.

“We are guardians, but also a bunch of miserable wretches that are constantly fighting against dangers and madness.”

I love Klein Moretti.

I think about this a LOT. Like, that test absolutely triggered all his traumas that he was slowly but surely learning how to cope with. I don’t think he ever forgot about the threat of losing his family or anything, but he was still starting to be okay. That test must’ve been a huge smack to the face to him…

And the note from GoD??? Pouring salt in the wound 😭😭

It is super fascinating to constantly see him putting himself in danger yet always claim to hate pain and deny ever going out of his way for anyone… I wonder if he’s just afraid to admit to himself that he cares SO deeply about his people… because admitting that would imply that losing them would be overwhelmingly heartbreaking, and I don’t think Cale can handle that kind of trauma again.

Whichhh again brings us back to that test where he was forced to face that fear. I think op is right to say that Cale became more recklessly self sacrificing after that.

And it does not help that him sacrificing himself does consistently fix everything.

I was thinking nonsense like I always do. And today, another random thought popped into my head.

In the Wind Island test, when Cale lost everything and wanted to escape, he jumped out the window. By doing that, he was able to escape the hell where his family was no longer alive. 💔

I have a feeling that, because of that incident, he kind of started thinking—deep down—that if his family is in danger, then maybe sacrificing himself will somehow fix everything.

And GoD’s letter didn’t help at all. It basically said that if Cale had died in the past, his hyungs would still be alive.

I know he was already the self-sacrificing type because of everything he went through as Kim Roksoo. But he was getting better after becoming Cale!

Then that test, and GoD’s letter, probably ruined all the progress he’d made. I feel like his tendency to sacrifice himself only got worse after that. Before that, the only time I remember him really doing that was during the Battle of the Gorge (if I’m remembering right).

Maybe I’m just overthinking it. Maybe it doesn’t even make sense. But I can’t stop thinking about it. He’s always been willing to throw himself in danger, but it feels like it’s gotten worse after that damn test.
