Cale Henituse - Blog Posts
Instead of being on a government list, he has a government list.
He also has the phone number of all the powerful and famous people, he thinks is a business relationship but they call at least once a month to hang out. Or what KRS describes as "catching up on plans and creating new strategies".
Judging by his track record as Cale Henituse, I wholeheartedly believe Kim Roksoo destroyed a few guilds and came very close to (if not succeeded in) overthrowing the government of at least one of the countries on earth.
He is like a russian doll but when you take out another doll it is a new trauma.
Me pointing at Cale: This man has so many layers inside of him just like an onion and also just like an onion the deeper you cut through the layers the more it makes you cry
Alber will never be better than Alberu too. Or Beacrox, that's such a badass name.
I know Lout of the count's family is the official name, but try prying Trash of the count's family out of my dead hands.
Me, but Cale also. My man couldn't be more aroace if he tried.
You also make a very good point with Choi Han being so young mentally. I don't think he has a lot of life experience to ship him with any of the cast.
The only two people I kind of ship are Bud and Glenn because we deserve a good best friends to lovers.
I have to admit the more i read lcf the less i ship choi han with anyone
I personally think it's a good thing for Cale that people don't know he has a healing power and how it works. Because then... People would get more demanding.
There are already too many people (background extras, not his allies) who look up to him like a saviour and hero and are grateful for being able to stand under the protection of his shield. The blood coughing and fainting is what makes them (the humane ones) not think of him as an invincible person who Should be at the forefront protecting them.
Imagine if people knew that when Cale Henituse coughs up blood, he's not actually hurt or dying but actually healing? That he's not injured and rather perfectly fine and healthy? There would be more people who would want to push him to become their hero and savior, relying on him to save them from all sorts of dangers. That is not something Cale, who has spent nearly half of his life sacrificing himself to save others' lives, deserves.
His allies too. Although I feel bad for them sometimes for all the headache and heartache he gives them, it's for the best.
People already view him as a hero and savior, a legend. They don't need more grounds to forget he's human. They'll take his protection for granted and push him to do more. Although Cale isn't the type to just do as they ask of him. In fact, the ones to make these demands would be the first to die. But it still would leave a bad taste in everyone's mouth, especially those close to Cale. Though they'd do everything in their power to destroy whoever says such things, it'd still hurt them to know people think of their Cale as more of a commodity than a person. Heck I'm afraid even some of the allies might get the idea that it's fine for the young master to cough up a little blood if it's for the greater good.
That's why, it's for the better that nobody knows the truth behind the coughing blood.
I felt kind of guilty for not doing anything for Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo on the eighth so I made this little comic as a compensation present for both of them. First time making a comic, pls go easy on me!
And what are you saying? Choi Jung Gun who?
Bonus
Good morning to Cale Henituse and Choi Han only
To my kings 👊😌 to keep fucking shit up with style another year
Thems
One of my headcanons is that KRS spent most of is carear as a team leader dehumanizing himself.
He was no longer Kim Rok-Soo but the Leader. He has more important things than having a break, or personal time. He was a fundamental piece of the machinery of the team and he needed to give everything to keep it running.
After all, he can't ruin the thing his hyungs died protecting.
Choi Han: What’s the hardest part of a vegetable to eat?
Choi Han: The wheelchair
*Cale choking in the back with a very confused Raon asking what that means*
Rosalin: so, Cale, how's your slacker life going?
Cale: Good. The other day I was reading a book about Stockholm syndrome. It was pretty bad at first, but by the end I liked it.
Rosalin: pff- *high pitched* yeah? I-im glad-
Give KRS a grain of sand and he would build a castle typo shit.
Had GoD put Kim Rok Soo and Og!Cale in one world together, whether as twins or body sharing, both of them would not only be able to cause 4 times the headache but can and will burn the world before they even turn 20 years of age.
GoD had the right idea to just switch their body’s and not regress one of them and transmigrating the other because there are heavier consequences for that and in this essay, I will-
Raon supporting his father like the best son he is.
Guy at my school that my friends kind of know found out he's aroace (he's not very involved in the queer community) and his first reaction was just "why doesn't the flag have a dragon like Wales"

Every day I learn new things about this dude and just know I would never get over his ass.
I'm currently rereading Trash of the Count's Family because I've got my hands on the physical copy, and I'm honestly in awe of how much was foreshadowed. I'm currently only on page 24, and Cale already asked Ron to bring him cold water twice after remembering the contents of "Birth of a Hero". On the first read, it meant nothing, but having read all of part 1, it's so obvious that he's using Record.
I love this story
He took thinking out of the box too seriously
It truly takes someone like Cale Henituse to think of just casually teleporting the entire lair of not just a dragon but the last Dragon Lord herself into his backyard infested with monsters.
Holding aro/ace Cale Henituse and never letting him go because I can't be the only one who feels aggravated when I compliment someones appearance and everyone jokes about how I want to bang them.
I'm a firm believer he likes pretty faces not people.
___
KRS 18 y.o: she's pretty
Coworker: you like her? You need to ask her to go out!
KRS: no????
___
KRS 21 y.o: he's handsome, don't you think?
CJS: yeah, I don't know, he's not my type, you should try talk to him tho
KRS: ???why would I do that
He was not normal about anything but my brain rotted on Isekai couldn't see it
Thinking about Kim Roksoo who easily accepted that he now lives in a world where monsters exist and beastmen exist and magic and stuff exists. Because he came from a world that was infested by monsters and people awakened abilities. He wasn't much fazed by it because it was basically the same just the medium to deal with them changed. It should have been the first hint for us that he did not come from the normal Korea.
The way I gasped has no name
What if Team Leader Lee Soo Hyuk also had a 0% mortality rate. And that's why, when Kim Roksoo saw his teammates continue to survive despite the dangers, and continue to persistently try get him to open up to them. He thought that maybe these people will not leave. They won't die, and they won't turn away from him. So he thought it was okay to open up, it's ok to allow himself to cherish these people.
And the moment he made up his mind about it, the whole team was wiped out.
Starting to re-read TCF and I noticed how every time Cale earns an ancient power, he starts calling them out like “how annoying/I wouldn’t do that”, and etc. HOWEVER, he never says anything about the Super rock because they are the same!!!! (At least until this part below 😂😭)
Cale: I'm a bad person, but not because of that.
Cale to every enemy he faces: Stop calling me a bad person just because I'm orchestrating your downfall.
Cale's grunts translation (By children of average nine years old)
"Hum": normally made in a crime scene when he sees something that's not in the right place.
"Hm": general recognization of your existence, maybe a "good morning", "good afternoon" or "good evening"
A low "mnh": someone messed out and this benefits me.
A slightly louder "mnh": i messed out and this definitly does not benefits me.
*snort*: you're funny or the next victim with nowhere in between
*a laugh without a frowing*: an actual genuine laugh?????????
*a louder laugh with frowing*: dragons! Dragons everywhere!
A very low "Hehe...": money
A sharp inhale through the nose: I'm hurted but i don't want anyone to know.
A soft exhale through nose: why did i become a commander again.
Inspired in this work of art
I would let him ruin my life.
Took me forever to finish this because this vain little young master won’t leave me alone until I made sure everything on his person looked absolutely dashing and gorgeous.
Ref for pose and composition: X: @tnadmszo01
Remember that time when Cale was like “Let’s go set fire to this ancient historical lake” while dressed as a priest
Tcf is so fucking weird
Cale is the loser
Ohhh [fictional character with worse mental health than me] save meeeee from this cruel world.
reading some cale quotes for fic purposes and i can't believe how much you can forget when you blitz through 1000+ chapters in less than two months.
like, cale curses so much. so much. i guess i didn't really internalize it since it was spread out over the whole novel, but he has such a dirty mouth and literally every time he mentions his enemies, he's cursing up a storm.
"i don't care if he's lived a thousand years or not, that shithead is a fucking bastard from now on." cale henituse, on the greatest threat of the whole part one of the novel. he's so eloquent.
i forgot how snarky his internal voice is. actually, maybe not forgot. just, kind of got used to it? until i stopped registering the absolutely sick burns he keeps dishing out on the regular.
it takes him until chapter 270 to realize that he should have just let choi han beat him up. that seems like a lot, but we've still barely reached the eastern continent. adin is still alive. cale doesn't even know who the white star is. the trouble hasn't even started.
also, at one point he actually admits to being raon, on and hong's parent??? out loud??? i can't believe i missed that, the whole dodori thing distracted me.
"raon. I’m someone who cannot forget. don't be like me." i didn't actually forget this one, but it feels like a gut punch every time i read it again.
