@nerdpoe I saw ur krs doesn't get instant au and i wrote something short for it 👉👈
Rok Soo's ability isn't Instant AU
Instead of being able to, very briefly and painfully, fuck with time; he got an ability based on all the absolute bullshit that's happened to him.
From the childhood, to his friends dying in front of him. All the shitty rumors that sprouted up, all the shit luck, all of it. Just, all of it.
So instead of Instant, he got Lament.
Lament is a scream capable of leveling buildings, at the cost of absolutely shredding Rok Soo's throat.
As a result of that power, Rok Soo doesn't talk often, and when he does his voice is hoarse and pained. He also refuses to speak at full volume, because while he's got a handle on his power, he's paranoid that he'll slip up.
So when he transfers over to the body of Cale, people notice.
The Young Master went to bed his usual talkative self, but when he woke up?
Barely a word, and when he did speak, a whisper.
Cale barely speaks a word to Ron beyond the single syllable required. Barely bothers to acknowledge Deruth. Relies on hand-speak and notes to talk to merchants.
Deruth is going crazy trying to figure out what the hell happened to his son, Ron is very close behind him because what the hell got past him? He's Ron Fucking Molan.
Then Cale comes home with a bedraggled punk that smells like the trash the killed Ron's family, and Ron has to listen in astonishment as he says more to this jackass than he's said to Ron in a week.
Basically; Cale's power of Lament is so strong and painful that everything Cale is paranoid of letting it slip, that he's selectively mute. This causes many misunderstandings, in true Cale fashion.
Teeny appreciation post
I saw someone wrote a fic about my "Cale writes a will" idea but I forgot to respond in time D:
Now I can't find it-
But thank you! I read and enjoyed it a lot!! I get so happy when I inspire people to make stuff lol-
Someone finds out Cale planned to stab himself so they tell everyone and then confiscate the root so he has to convince someone to form a plan with him (Cale is forced to agree to make this plan a last resort) anyways at the temple, everyone's watching and Cale is standing before the white star and he suddenly jumps in front of him like he's going to shield him from something and there's a loud bang and suddenly Cale and the white star have both been skewered with a long sword and Choi han and anyone who's watching heart drops and the sword has been pulled out, there's a pool of blood forming by their feet and the drips are so LOUD-
And when Choi han goes in to kill the Bastard, his sword is blocked by none other than Eruhaben who looks like he's about to break down but Eruhaben is their ally so why why WHY-
In a blinded rage Choi-han starts attacking ruthlessly not holding back at all and he's crying all the same because he's weak. The one person he swore to protect even if it cost him his life because this single person gave him a home right after he lost his second and now that person is dead.
Eruhaben wasn't there to hold raon back. Raon saw everything. That fucking TRAITOR-
---
Okay I'ma leave it at that
I had a vague scene in my head then just decided to let my fingers type
Cale can't really see right now.
Considering he just let himself get stabbed, its probably okay if he lays here for a bit longer, right?
His hair is obscuring his vision, everything is so.. blurry.
..Is it supposed to hurt this bad? Shouldn't Vitality of the Heart have fixed it by now?
'*Sob* Cale... can't.....fi..... H..rt..bad......'
He can't really focus right now either.
That's right.. Eruhaben went through with the plan. It worked, right?
..The blood loss is making his head spin. Is someone fighting? There's some screaming.
Cale tries to force himself up. There really shouldn't be this much blood coming out. He likes his blood inside his body, thank you very much.
'The world tree is a Fucking liar-'
It's alright if he's a bit upset, right?
Ew. His hair has blood in it.
At this point. Cale has managed to get on his knees and elbows, head tilted down to be mindful of the blood that definitely should not be coming out of his mouth. Is something wrong with his lungs or-
"WE TRUSTED YOU-"
Someone is screaming. They should be quiet. His head hurts. Is that Choi han?
The white star was spewing some crap about not being able to die next to him, but the radish was dying already so Cale didn't really care much.
'Thank god no one else sa-'
..He just heard Choi han. Choi han. The one screaming was definitely choi han.
Ah shit.

Alberu Crossman has only felt this cold in his life once. It's happening again.
Cale Henituse.
His most powerful ally, the supreme commander, the one he trusted with his secret and was met with welcoming arms.
His dongsaeng, his little brother.
...why is he not getting up?
As a bit of an afterthought, he's blocking the kitten's gaze.
There's so much blood.
Why isn't he getting up and pretending he's fine, brushing it off and looking at his family like they're weird for worrying?
..that's too much blood.
Alberu thinks that he should leave. Right now. A distant part of him has realized that he missed Raon when he was covering the kids eyes.
"..Raon let's go. Now."
The surge of magic should have been overwhelming. Although Raon is clearly angry, he's still seeing clearly enough to protect his siblings from it.
Though his mind is elsewhere, alberu thinks to himself for a moment, 'How long will that last?'
After all, Cale didn't stab himself.
---
I was bored.
I don't think they've processed the fact that Cale was stabbed by one of their own yet. (Except Choi han and Raon)
This could potentially become a really long reblog train, should I move it to its own post?
Probably.
@fanfiction-artist-prototype tagged me and I got bored soooooo-
I don't actually title my wips so I'm making them up as I go lmao
Mmm I think that's it?
Uhmmm
I'll tag @bloustorm, @murasaki-cha, @messy-haired-bum
I know basically 0 writers on this app lol. @salaapaoo you get double tagged bc why not
If you'd also like to do this, go wild :v
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?
I can ask myself questions??????
Yes you can :DD
(this is hilarious to me.)
My gift to you?
'Galaxy's 4am thoughts'
I grouped together a bunch of smaller drafts and stuck them in one post. They aren't in any particular order soo-
Handwriting Headcannons
Cale:
Whenever he's writing, his handwriting is very font-like. It's neat, looks a bit rushed tho. When he's signing his name, the body's muscle memory takes over and it's the most over the top thing you can think of.
Ohn:
She seems like her handwriting would be very tiny. Probably also does the little hearts as dots.
Hong:
He has NO FEAR. his handwriting is neat enough(for a kid) but l a r g e.
Raon:
No opposable thumbs = basically chicken scratch. He's much better at writing when using his magic.
Choi han:
Before the forest of darkness, it was probably pretty average. Now it's just slightly worse. (Got better with practice) He's not too confident when writing in the Roan kingdom's language
Rosalyn:
It is either neat and tidy because of her time as a princess or it looks like a doctor wrote it, no in-between.

Now I disappear for another three months
*poofs away magically*
I got ideas for continuations for two different posts and don't want forget-
I HAVE MORE FOR THIS EXCEPT ITS KIND OF DIFFERENT
---
Before Cale gets the chance to find shelter with the group of survivors, he gets bit.
They were attacked by a hoard on a street and Cale escaped eventually but not unscathed.
He stumbles into this abandoned shop that luckily has no one inside, and already feels the infection getting to him. He holds Raon close for a moment, he's sweating profusely, blood is on his clothes and he just holds Raon close for a few minutes, listening to his baby's heartbeat.
Cale takes a moment to examine Raon thoroughly, making sure there were no bites or injuries on him.
He gets up to move the carrier behind him, making sure raon's legs and arms are tucked inside with a blanket and covering his head. Little Raon is just staring at his father, eyes so bright and blue, having no clue what was about to happen to his dad.
There are dark veins creeping up his neck and Cale knows he doesn't have much time left. So he presses a kiss on raon's head, listening to his little giggle for what will probably be the last time, and tells Raon his last words.
"Raon..-" Cale gets interrupted by a sudden cough, but continue's regardless.
"Raon, You have to be.. be quiet okay? I know it's scary but you need to stay silent.. I love you so much.. remember that, okay?"
Cale quickly puts Raon on his back and almost collapses due to the pain of his body trying to fight the infection.
He's kneeling on the ground, vision already fading to black, and the final thought in his mind is-
'I don't want to hurt Raon. Im supposed to protect him. I don't want to hurt Raon-'
---
There is.. an odd zombie, walking around the streets.
You couldn't even classify him as an abnormal. (Classifications created by the Roan survivors camp.)
If the average survivor were to come across this zombie and take a moment to observe it, they would note that it does not act like the others.
It wanders. It's intelligent. It avoids the areas that the other, normal zombies, swarm.
There is something on its back that, if you observed carefully, it protects.
---
I actually like this one lol
It's incomplete and maybe I'll add to it later but for now have dis
I think it'd be funny if Cale learned how to cough up blood on command
Like that one time where Alberu asked Cale to faint Cale would be like "alright he probably wants this to be realistic" and just coughs up blood while pretending to faint- Alberu and Choi han being horrified and thinking he was just putting up a front to not worry them and beating themselves up over not noticing anything-
Then Cale falls asleep and now they're really panicking-
This is probably completely unrealistic but stfu it would be funny and it's fanfiction so why not-
---
Man this draft is OLDD
Medically accurate?? Who's she??
---
I don't actually know why I didn't post this one? It looks fine lol
"If you wanted to make the world fall to it's knees I'd help you in every way I knew how as long as you let me stay by your side."
"...Choi han I just asked you to help harvest the carrots what-"
---
I added the last bit rn because I thought it would be funny lol
After a particularly long record deep-dive, Cale feels- like Shit.
This time, it focused primarily on the time when he was a child. Yes, he didn't have record at the time but he's always had a pretty good memory anyway-
Unfortunately, everyone could tell Cale didn't feel good. Why? Because he was consistently apologizing for minor things, flinching anytime someone made a sudden movement, and just genuinely didn't look good.
Eventually, Choi han cracked and asked what happened late at night in his room. After a few tense moments, Cale reluctantly admits,
"I guess my Uncle affected me more than I thought"
---
HNGGHGH
I didn't feel confident posting it then and I don't feel confident posting it now soz
Cale having back up plans for the back up plans but also incase any of his allies decides to stop aiding them and he tells Alberu while they go over strategies together
Alberu is like 'haha good idea ig...'
Because he knows it is a good idea but Cale even thinking there's a chance that Alberu might stop helping them even after Cale has done so much shit for him hurts. Like, a lot.
---
100% inspired by a line in:
It's funny so go read
(it's a very short line and Cale is talking about Deruth possibly cutting his funding and him making preparations if that day ever happens)
---
Errrr
Idk I probably thought it was too short or something lol
