@nerdpoe I saw ur krs doesn't get instant au and i wrote something short for it 👉👈

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?

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-

"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

Deruth impulsively tags on an 'I love you' while saying goodbye to Cale and then Cale starts crying

Like he pauses for a moment, processing, then when it finally gets through to him he brings a hand up to his face and realizes he's crying

"Why- Why am i- fuck, sorry I don't know why im- damnit why won't it stop-?"

---

..I actually don't think I've ever read Deruth tell Cale that he loves him- in fanfiction

This is either results of my terrible memory or he actually hasn't said that before

---

Scrapped because I got too nervous when posting :'D

But welp it's up here now lololol

(How the hell am I supposed to do this post I-)

So, I'm just gonna say it-

I'm retiring this blog.

I didn't really want to just disappear off the face of the earth and not say anything so, I'm making a really awkward post about it :D

Back in July of last year, I made the impulsive decision to post an incorrect quote about a novel that had been running around in my head for too long- and imagine my surprise when I wake up the next morning to find out that it basically blew up.

And now we're here :>

This is me giving permission to ANYONE who wants to write or expand on any drabble or prompt on this blog AS LONG AS you give proper credit. (And DM me a link because I would love to read it 👉👈)

Thank you to anyone who's sent a comment or reblogged, I loved reading them and still sometimes go back haha-

I'm not sure if I'll be coming back to post anytime soon tho-

So I suppose, this is goodbye for now! 👋

Part 1:

---

So, he wanders this castle for.. years.

The exact date isn't known to him. Figures that walking through an endless castle that's pure white would make someone loose themselves.

No one can contact inside the castle and no one can contact outside either.

Cale has to repeat his name to himself, like a mantra, over and over just so he won't forget.

He knows that if he doesn't get out soon, this place will break him. It will take his memories, his personality, until he's nothing more than a shell of his former self.

So he walks. And walks. And walks some more. Collecting divine energy for his goal. His entire purpose for even looking at this place.

Cale really hates the color white. If it weren't for the clothes he has on his body, that would be all he sees.

It feels like he's slipping. Like he's forgotten something really important.

Why was he here again...?

And as he searches, walking through the endless white hallways, he spots something in the distance.

It's not white.

Is that-

Could it really-

It is.

And he takes off running. Sprinting to the exit. Finally..

Cale slows down untill he's less than a step away. Outside looks so... Beautiful. Is this real? Could he be dreaming? There are millions of stars scattered across the bright sky. And right there, he decides that that is his favorite sight.

So he takes one last step. Gates close behind him abruptly. No reaction.

For a moment, Cale thinks. There was a reason, wasn't there? But he's forgotten....

He's left standing there, on the floating island where the white castle resides, lost.

Left with divine energy carefully collected throughout the years and has forgotten why.

Cale let's himself crumble. The feeling of freedom quickly squashed by copious amounts of sheer grief for reasons unknown to even him.

He feels so lost...

---

With nowhere to go, Cale resorts back to wandering. He walks among the skies, with only the stars to keep him company.

This time, he doesn't mind it so much. At least it wasn't white.

As he walks with the- well, he's not sure what they are. 'they' referring to little bright lights that like to follow him around, but they keep him company so he doesn't mind. From the corner of his eye, he spots movement. Which is odd.

He turns to the side to get a better visual, and stares at a weird metal box-like thing that was rectangular.

'a subway train' his mind helpfully supplies.

The redhead stares as the train gets closer, and eventually stops in front of him.

Only looking at it curiously, he's surprised when the doors begin to open.

Ah, there's a person inside.

---

Sighs

:3

Everyone dies against the hunters.

Everyone.

Except Cale, because apparently life favors him just a bit too much.

But along with that, the gods also favor him. So he's given a second chance. Two options, they said. He can go to a universe that's close to his current one, which.. it wouldn't be the same. They'd look and act the same but Cale would know that they aren't. It'd feel like he was replacing them...

So he asks for the second option and is given a warning that it won't be easy, it'll hurt, he'll suffer.

Cale, who feels like his world just fucking ended, doesn't care and insists they keep talking. They tell him that there's a way he can restart his world, they'll be sent to the very beginning. Where Cale first transmigrated.

This option already sounds a lot better.

Restarting a world takes a lot of energy from the gods, so Cale is going to have to collect it himself.

They send his soul to.. this castle. From where he stands outside with the god of death, its completely white. Even GoD looks nervous at the sight of it.

He tells Cale that once he enters the Castle, that he won't be able to come back. Cale is going to have to find his own way out. Time is warped in that castle and he won't age in there.

It's proof, in a way. That he is worthy enough for his wish to be granted. And really, what does he have to lose?

Before Cale enters the Castle, The God of Death gives him a hug and tells him to be careful.

Cale doesn't react.

Once Cale is inside, he dully notes that the interior is also completely white. The hallways are long, and they look endless.

He's got one chance, and he's determined to succeed.

Draft from last year

I HAD SO MANY IDEAS FOR THIS AT 3 AM LAST NIGHT BUT I MADE THE MISTAKE OF NOT WRITING THEM DOWN 😭😭😭😭

Part 2:

But what if Choi han and the kittens fought over who Cale picked up first

I want to see an apocalyptic au where Cale gets to beat the shit out of some zombies with a bat.

Maybe it's set in the modern world. Single father Cale who's adopted a baby Raon after literally hearing him crying in a dumpster. He's In his apartment when the outbreak begins and it gets swarmed. He leaves with Raon in a front facing baby carrier through the fire escape.

With only a bat and a handgun to defend himself, it practically feels like Cale and Raon against the world.

Maybe it would be the smarter thing to leave Raon to ensure his own survival, maybe having two mouths to feed and protect could prove to be trouble in the long-run. Cale doesn't care. Raon miru is his son and there's no way in hell he's abandoning him.

Cale and Raon get stranded. Their city looks like a ghost town.

They find a survivor group camping out in a library. With a few days of quarantine to make sure they weren't infected, they're accepted with open arms.

And in that group, Cale meets someone named Choi han.

---

Over the years, Cale meets a lot of people. Not all of them are good people. He's had to do a few unfavorable things to guarantee his group and Raon's safety. Somewhere along the way, he begins to open up his heart and think of his group as family.

(Raon, Ohn, and Hong grow up thinking Cale is the coolest. person. ever. Actually, so does everyone else-)

---

I WANT CALE TO HAVE A BAT.

I like the idea of Cale meeting Beacrox and Ron, his old caretakers back when he still lived with his parents, and all of them being surprised that the other is still alive.

they meet at the halfway point between Cale's apartment and the mansion cale grew up in.

"Young Master did you have a child and not inform me?"

"... he's adopted?"

While they have their heartfelt reunion-

Choi han, Ohn, and Hong are in the corner being confused.

-----

I wrote this because I couldn't sleep :D

Eric comes to visit.

Through a short exchange of letters between Deruth and Count Wheelsman that Cale had known nothing about, Eric and his family go to visit the Henituse county.

The Wheelsman's arrived midday, they were greated by the entire Henituse family sans Cale.

Eric was only a bit disappointed by this- Of course he's heard the rumors. But he still hasn't seen Cale in so long...

His father and Count Deruth went off to talk business in Deruth's office, while Countess Violan invited his mother and sister for tea.

Meaning he was basically left alone.

He held short conversation with Basen and Lily, dismissing himself when it was appropriate.

Eric decides to go see Cale.

While he asked one of the maids for Cale's whereabouts, they responded in "He usually goes out drinking this time of day.."

There's a knot in his chest that only keeps growing.

And when Eric overhears a servant insulting his dongsaeng, calling him 'trash', he gives them a glare that seems so unusual on is normally calm face.

---

It's already the next day and Eric hasn't seen a hair of Cale...

Is he being avoided?

He assumes that he'll get the chance to spend time with Cale during breakfast but the redhead isn't there.

Naturally, he asks one of the butlers, he thinks their name is Ron?

"Excuse me but is Cale back yet?"

Eric ignores the sudden silence that has consumed the table.

"Yes, Young Master Eric. Young Master Cale returned last night."

"Has he eaten breakfast yet?"

"No sir."

Here, Deruth chimes in with a slightly sad face.

"Ah. As much as I'd like for him to join us, he usually declines."

"I'll go join him then!" Responds Eric with a smile.

For some odd reason, this once again silences the Henituse family. The air is slightly awkward.

"What a wonderful idea Eric! Do tell him to come down soon. I'd like to catch up with him!"

With his mother's approval, Eric stands from the table and only pauses when he hears a quiet- "Why...?"

It was from Young Lady Lily.

"Well.. it's no fun to eat alone, is it?"

---

When Eric and Lily knock on Cale's door, there's visible annoyance on his face but when he hears their reason-

Well, maybe he could just make an exception this one time...

I kind of like my new color scheme-
