Beacrox:*creates a spicy dish at Cales request(because Cale missed eating spicy things T^T)*

Cale:*tries it*hmmmm…. It’s good, but it could use some more spice.

Beacrox:*utter confusion* …yes young master-nim. *thinking that Cale might be insane because this is the spiciest dish he’s ever been in the presence of*

Beacrox:*adds more spice anyways because he’s so confused*

Cale: still needs more spice.

Beacrox:*worried confusion intensifies*

Beacrox:*adds more spice*

Cale: perfect.

Beacrox:*more worried confusion*

Later- *Beacrox enlists Eruhabens help to summon the whole Cale-nim protection squad*

Cale:*is summoned to his fathers office to find perhaps every person he’s ever met standing there with Choi Han looking perhaps as confused as he is*

Deruth: Son… are you feeling alright?

Cale:…yes…? What is this for..?

Beacrox:*puts the spicy dish on the desk*

Alberu: Dongsaeng, this is an intervention.

Deruth: we think something might be wrong with your taste buds.

Cale: huh? It’s not even that spicy? Try it if you don’t believe me?

Everyone in the room: *tries it and immediately starts dying(-Choi Han)*

Deruth: Dear God! That could kill a small cat!

Ohn: as a small cat, I can confirm, eating any more of that would kill me.

Cale: Oh come on! It isn’t that spicy!

Everyone:*confusion*

Choi Han:…

Choi Han:… it isn’t that bad…

Everyone:*appalled*

Alberu: You two are fucking anomalies. This is not something a human, or any race for that matter, can consume without horrible difficulty.

Cale:*walks over to the dish*

Cale:*eats the rest of it to not let it go to waste because it really does have the perfect amount of spice*

Everyone:*in utter terror as Cale shows zero reaction*

Alberu: I am terrified of you.

Tcf part 2 chapter 276

If Choi Han is like an older brother, Rosalyn is like an older sister. Gashan is like a grandfather and Raon is like a younger brother. Cale is like an uncle to him, or- 'Yes.' He was like a father. It was strange. Although their age difference is not that much, when Lock was praised or acknowledged by him , it touched him more than anyone else's recognition and made him feel relieved. Because Cale's back was bigger than anyone else's to Lark. He can not help it.

Awwwwww this was just so sweet😭🥹 Lock really looks up to cale and thinks of him as a father figure. Man we have been well fed with dad Cale these past chapters!

[samberrybay]

This part in 32 chp always felt kind of odd to me and this is the reason why:

The coward wolf boy, Lock. Until Choi Han found him, Lock had been hiding as the chief had told him. The Lock at that point is very much a coward, a weakling, and kind of slow. In simple terms, Lock easily took the position of the character that readers found to be extremely frustrating.

This has bothered me since I first read the novel, and to this day, even after several rereads, it still haunts me.

Cale simply isn't the type of a person to actually call a kid, no matter how they behave, to be "frustrating".

(When the text said "readers" it's damn well obvious of Cale being the one to think so.)

Pondering for some time I can roughly guess why the wording was so unexpected for his character.

At the time of the assassination/kindaping in the village, Lock was only thirteen years old. He also hasn't had his first berserk transformation yet. Therefore it is not surprising that Lock's uncle hid him and told not to go out, saying that everything was fine and he should continue to hide.

Now let's look at the situation realistically.

Lock (in tcf) jumps out of his hiding to protect his younger siblings. The adrenaline and inner Blue Wolf Tribe's instincts to protect turned on his berserk transportation one year beforehand, however if not Rosalyn and Choi Han, who came earlier than in the actual novel, i don't think it would help much.

Lock would possibly be able to kill a few people or at least seriously injure them, but CMON. They killed an ENTIRE village full of berserk Blue Wolf's and with almost-Wolf King (Lock's uncle). Do you really believe that a thirteen years old boy jumping into his first berserk transformation would be able to fight properly against strong organization that had holy water or some sort of holy artefact on their hands?

Again, if not for Choi Han's and Rosalyn's arrival... it would have definitely ended pretty bad.

In TBOAH Lock for some reason didn't jump out. Different circumstances, wrong wroted part in the novel, idk, but the fact is stated: Lock stayed hidden. He also most likely survived only because of Choi Han's help. Just with much worse scenario where he was left alone from the whole village.

And it wasn't Lock's fault yet again. He was a child. No matter if a Beastman one or not, the boy was just an innocent, naive and weak child.

So why would Cale, Kim Rok Soo at the time, find him frustrating? Extremely so even!

The answer is much easier if you think about it.

Because it wasn't Kim Rok Soo blaming a kid for being weak and cowardly in a fearful situation, it was a man who saw his own past that he hated so much.

A coward, a weakling and kind of slow.

For Rok Soo, who blamed himself for half of his life for the deaths of team one members, Lock was like a salt for still open, but ignored wounds.

KRS greatly disliked and maybe even envied Lock for a bit. The boy got a new family, he got friends and some sort of guidance from them even after facing so much despair.

While he was all alone, trying to understand what to do on his own.

It sure is irritating for Rok Soo.

Yet Team Leader Kim Rok Soo was probably unable to fully hate Lock for his weakness, because while the latter was still a kid, the same forgiveness can't be used on him. At least in his own head.

So with conflicting feelings Cale settled on "Extremely frustrating" description.

Hugging head cannons :D

Cale: it's kind of tragic, how bad he is at hugging ppl back. He gets all stiff and awkward and doesn't know what to do with his hands. He will reluctantly hug back if they feel upset. Unless it's raon, ohn or hong hugging him. He's used to getting hugs from the kids. But he basically never hugs anyone else? Ppl just hug him.

Alberu: depends on the situation, me thinks. If it's some stuffy noble guy who he doesn't really like, its like an awkward professional hug. If you're Cale who just got back from doing something stupid, it's weirdly passive aggressive but also don't-do-that-again-pls-for-the-love-of-god hug. He's gotten plenty of affection from his aunt and the other dark elves so I think he's fine. Mildly touch starved maybe? Idk I'm indecisive.

Choi han: He holds on for a little too long, and a little too tight. Like he wants to make sure you're there.(Especially if your name starts with c and ends with ale)

Unless its a stranger, then let go or you will be sliced.

Raon, Ohn, Hong: I don't think they really like getting hugged by anyone but Cale? (He never starts it unless he thinks they're asleep, but they like hugging him.) I think it's iffy for them even if it's someone from their found family. Either they climb on you willingly or u pretty pls don't touch them.

Lock: He's pretty great at receiving and giving hugs. He's an older brother, what did you expect?

Rosalyn: I don't remember her backstory, someone help-

Edit: it's been decided that she is a great hugger. Gives warm older-sister hugs even if you're older.

----

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Does this make sense?

[crazydaymycrazyway]

In the modern world. Cale got in trouble

Cale: ...how did you come here so fast?

Rosalyn: Several traffic violations

Choi Han: Three counts of resisting arrest

Lock: Roughly thirteen cans of energy drink

Alberu: Also, that's not our car

[blueteller]

Lock: *wishes to be like Cale* Also Lock: *gets deified*

Why am I even surprised... 😂

[calhe08]

Cale: [Pointing at the broken cookie jar.] So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.

Raon: I did. I broke it…

Cale: No. No, you didn’t. Choi Han?

Choi Han: Don’t look at me. Look at His Highness.

Alberu: What?! I didn’t break it.

Choi Han: Huh. That’s weird. How did you even know it was broken?

Alberu: Because it’s sitting right in front of us and it’s broken!

Choi Han: Suspicious.

Alberu: No, it’s not!

Rosalyn: If it matters, probably not… Beacrox was the last one to touch it.

Beacrox: Liar! I would never touch the cookies, and its the Young Master's too!

Rosalyn: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the table earlier?

Beacrox: I always refill Young Master's cookie! Everyone knows that, Miss Rosalyn!

Raon: Alright everyone let’s not fight! I broke it, let me pay for it, Human.

Cale: No. Who broke it?

Alberu: [whispering] Dongsaeng, Lock’s been awfully quiet…

Lock: Really?!

Alberu: Yeah, really!

 …

Cale: I broke it. I can't open the jar because its too tight then I dropped it. I predict ten minutes from now, they’ll be at each other’s throats with rubbles everywhere and white radishs head on a stick. Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

Ron: smiles

Eruhaben: tsk unlucky bastard

[certifiedcoffeeaddict]

[greenbeanlord]

Group Chat

Alberu: Who the fuck added me to a fucking group chat?

Eruhaben: >:O language

Raon: Yeah watch your fucking language

Choi Han: Okay, who taught Raon the fuck word?!

Cale: 'The fuck word’

Lock: Are you kidding me? You guys use the f word all the time

Alberu: Oh my god he censored it

Cale: Say fuck, Lock.

Raon: Do it, Lock. Say fuck.

[arceviste]

damn look at THAT SIDE PROFILE. bro's jaws literally gonna cut down the equator. (but srsly, he's too damn gorgeous for his own good.)

UM, SIRS. ARE U FLIRTING RN??? RIGHT IN FRONT OF OUR SALADS?!??

furries stare down. that's it, that's the whole caption.

[big19boss-blog]

Cale-nim would hate Snape! (Judge Cale pt1.)

I think if Cale won't like Snape even one bit. Here are my arguments as to why:

Bullying Kids. In the words of Cale-nim himself, he is a trash person, but he would never hurt kids. And Snape did exactly that throughout the years. Whether it was threatening Neville so much that he became that kid's boggart. From constantly picking on Hermione to taking out the hate towards Harry's father on him. Nothing justifies bullying and hating a child, NOTHING.

Ratting out Remus. Snape not only made the students write essay on how to kill a werewolf and made Remus (the werewolf) check them. When he didn't get what he wished in the end, he let it slip to Daily Prophet that a teacher is a werewolf to the entire of ENGLAND!!

The sloppy double agent. He would have wanted Snape to fuck up more of Voldy's plans.

Hiding information. Snape had access to a lot of information throughout the book. If he wished to live a slacker life, he could have.

--------

I have more reason because I don't like Snape in general but anyways which character should Cale-nim Judge next?

[fictional2dcharacters]

*an unexpected attack from the white star's men*

Choi Han: okay stay calm, you have the power you need to beat them

Lock: the power to believe in myself?

Cale: no the power to turn into a damn 7ft werewolf, smash them into the ground!

Tcf part 2 chapter 282

Cale, Lock and Ryan just staring at each other in shock after that flame went into Locks mouth:

Also we need to talk about how tcf has a tendency to have it's characters eat things that are not supposed to be eaten like Yoo Ryeo Han what the fuc-

[calethescammer]

Tcf prompt :)

So there's the well known scars AU in tcf right? Like where Krs!Cale gets his old scars and chaos ensues.

But what if, instead of any random day, Cale gets back his scars after using Instant? Like Mila has healed his scars completely, the ones he got after using Instant, but his old scars are somehow back on his body.

Like when he gets to meet with og!cale, some soul merging stuff happens and rok soo's scars are back on krs!cale's body.

And now imagine, Mila just doubting her ability because Cale's scars didn't heal (they actually did). And Cale just waking up and blankly staring at his body now 'ugly' with the scars he always hated.

And his family seeing him littered with so many wounds that he never had?? (Did they not even notice such a thing?)

And then his kids see him, especially Raon who first hand experienced it, and the young dragon just breaks down sobbing in his human's arms, blaming himself for the pain he had let his human go through.

Choi Han stands shocked, the image of Kim Rok Soo of his memories and the Cale in front of him overlapping, both looking too full of pain.

Maybe they don't comment on it due to the final battle, or maybe they feel like they shouldn't comment on it.

But then after the war, they finally notice how Cale has changed. How he furrows his brows whenever he looks at his scars, as if in disgust, and how he avoids looking at any and all mirrors, afraid to see himself. How he tries to slid his arms further into the long sleeves of his clothes, and how hard he tries to act nonchalant as if nothing is wrong.

And maybe he heard it once, the comments about his scars, but instead of noticing their worried and sorrowful tones he only saw mockery and laughter in it. He knew from experience to never expect from people, but sometimes, it hurt. And from then, he refused to go to any parties whatsoever, even at the cost of golden plaques.

And it got to a point that regular people, citizens of Roan noticed it too, how badly the war had affected their beloved young master. And how badly scarred both his body and mind were. But what could they do, expect send wishes of love and gratitude, in a hope that the person who saved them all may be saved too.

And now to his family. They try to bring out the redhead, taking him to small walks and picnics, and looking at him with so much love that Cale cannot help but feel a sting in his chest, wanting to stay in that warmth forever.

Lock and the wolf children come to him, shouting about how cool he looked in all those scars, how he looked so much like a 'warrior'. But Cale sees their eyes, eyes that seem so genuine and full of admiration, eyes that hold no mockery or any hint of evil. And for the next few hours, their shouts echo in his ears, a faint blush forming on his face.

Raon, On and Hong bring him flowers and decorate his hair with it, and Cale finally smiles seeing himself in the mirror. He suddenly recalls how in his past, his hyungs did the same. How they only worried for him. And once, when Team Leader was complaining about how he'll go bald due to his dongsaeng, Krs stood lost in thought, his gaze fixated on the way Team Leader's hands shook, his worried eyes looking over the scars in a way that said 'sorry'.

"Human!"

Cale's eyes snapped and he looked towards his family, all smiling and laughing together. And for a moment, he forgot all the flaws he held, and he rushed towards the kids, all the while smiling along.

[galaxygirl8880]

Modern au where everyone else has been reincarnated with only small (And I mean tinyy) bits and pieces of their past life memories and Cale is stuck as a spirit (memories intact) that follows them around guiding them and helping them just like when he was alive

That powerful burst of wind that helped Ohn and Hong run from the villagers

That sudden small and controlled flame that appeared in front of Raon when he'd ran away from the orphanage while it was snowing

That odd shield protecting lock and his siblings from the fire that burnt their house down

The light that professor haben followed out of curiosity to Choi han who'd been waiting for the rain to clear out

That odd pink thunder that had protected a little Alberu from his kidnappers

Another light orb helping a lost Rosalyn who was collecting herbs find her way back home.

That powerful and sudden water current taking witira to a human paston who had broken his leg while exploring a cave

All of these strange events guiding an even stranger combination of people together

Them remembering the memories of a life once lived

But..

There's someone missing, isn't there?

And after arguing with the god of death, lots of tears and attempted summonings + accidental summoning of an actual evil spirit (don't ask), they finally managed to get Cale a somewhat human form. (and demand he actually takes a seat and takes a fucking break because he's out saving people AGAIN)

((They give him the nickname of 'their guardian angel' and Cale pretends to hate it.) "No we don't have to talk about how I spent centuries alone waiting for your reincarnations stfu Ron"))

This was made pretty quickly but it's a modern au with magic

Hmmmmm

I feel like I could write this better

TCF Season Month

- The Indomitable Alliance announced war at 15th February. Chapter 193 said February is winter and still has snow.

- Cale entered Korea test from before night of 24th October to the very end of 8th November = 15 days + ~12 hours (Korea time) => Around 46 days (Nameless 1 time)

- Cale returned from the Korea test at exactly 0:00 am 9th November in Korea, meaning 0:00 am 11st November in Nameless 1.

=> Deduct the time (~46 days), we can guess he was trapped in the black orb around 26th September. It was also the first day of fall festival in Endable kingdom.

- 16th November: Cale abducted the King of Sez, met the Cat tribe, broke 8 statues & unsealed Lion Dragon (noon), get Drew's diary, saw the World Tree, Alberu fake death, fake Deruth (sunset), Lion Dragon fight (night).

- 17th November: The Lion Dragon defeated (few hours later, still night), fake Hilsman talk (morning). Did not mention, but they probably went in the temple test at the same day.

When they got out, it was near the middle of winter and not much time was left for the year => end of December is middle of winter.

So this is my TCF season theory:

Spring: March - ?

Summer: ? - mid September

Autumn: mid September - October

Winter: November - March

It seems like winter is very long here, with very short autumn.

I tried my best (with tears from 12am to 2pm), but I don't know how to determine when spring end. From winter and autumn, I suspect spring ends and summer start at mid April.

And this is Korea season if you guys want some reference:

Spring (middle of March to the end of May);

Summer (June to August);

Autumn (September to November);

Winter (Dec to middle of March)

I want to use western season too but like... I dont know which western country I supposed to use either....
