I Don't Know How No One Has Said This Before But This Fic Is The Most Adorable Thing I've Ever Seen In

Kumiho!Cale AU

You can't tell me that Cale doesn't fit the stereotypes associated with foxes, cunning and beautiful, a trickster and a con man, someone wise and strategic who can turn anything around. ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ )

Cale has all of those characteristics and although I have seen some fics where he is a member of the fox tribe I have never found one where he is a nine-tailed fox in this case, a kumiho.

Here comes my ideas:

Kim Rok Soo's parents were kumihos who decided to live hidden from society and therefore hid their true race from Rok Soo with plans to tell him later.

But the car accident they had when Rok Soo was eight ended up killing them before they could tell him about his inheritance.

Rok Soo grew up knowing nothing about his blood and heritage until the cataclysm where in a fit of hysterical adrenaline he manages to break the disguise of him later portraying him as an ability.

His life in the shelter differs greatly from canon because of this since he has an ability, but the curse of the white star ruins everything again.

His life continues as in canon until the moment of transmigration where he wakes up with Ron seeing him in a confused way and even without knowing him he interprets it as a cold look acting in the same way as in canon.

By some miracle he manages not to see himself in a mirror until he enters the bathroom where he screams in surprise.

Then Ron appears behind him saying "From your reaction I assume you don't know what this is, do you young master?"

Now he has to deal with his "initial ability" transmigrating with him, hiding his fox traits, and creating a convincing lie.

(Later during the Sloth Test: "You mean to tell me this was never a skill?!")

I'm just seeing the results and these were:

Out of 64 votes…

Including me, 2 were for "Yes, I did it! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ"

23 for "No, what were you thinking? (´-ω-｀)"

18 for "No but now I see it too (; ω; )"

and 21 for "No but now I see it too (; ω; )"

I am not crazy! I'm not the only one who saw it! (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

I'm the only one who saw the official KRS art and said "someone give this man some African braids" (O⌣O)???

❤ (ɔˆз(ˆ⌣ˆc) <- Cale

Secondary characters need more love! o(>< )o (Part 3: Olienne)

Olienne is a character we all know but only because he was important to one of the protagonists.

Although their relationship is not delved into, the mere fact that Eruhaben was detained and had a time of mourning after discovering his death says it all (ಡ‸ಡ)

For a dragon that has lived 1000 years he should be used to death, but Olienne was different.

I like the idea that the two of them were close friends, not enough for it to be a Queerplatonic relationship but enough for them to leave traces on each other (*^^*)♡

(In fact, that's because I saw an interpretation like that in a fanfic and I loved it! Him being an otaku is an idea I had never seen before and I loved it.)

We don't know much about him in canon, but what we do know is that he was cheeky, he liked sculptures (he probably made them himself) and long baths, it took him fifteen years to be born and his attribute is wood, and it can be assumed that He was good at creating barriers.

I feel like he could have been used in a better way, his character is incredible and needs more depth but he could have complemented the family very well °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

Perhaps over time he and Eruhaben could have improved their relationship, becoming a romantic or queerplatonic couple who would adopt Cale and Rosalyn as his children (o´∀`o)

Why Rosalyn? Because I feel that if Olienne is as shameless as Eruhaben says, seeing that he took Rosa as her apprentice, he could contribute and over time they would develop a fairly healthy father-daughter relationship ♡＼(￣▽￣)／♡

Besides, during the battle of the jungle vs the empire he could have helped Cale make the trees collect the dead mana or even shoot down the airship.

And without mentioning Apitoyu, I haven't read beyond chapter 1042 at the time of writing this post but Olienne's participation in the war against the purple blood dragons and the church of the holy empire already has me salivating with anticipation ☆ｏ(＞＜；)○

Jungsoo just needs to get a child form to complete the Soos trio (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

I need Cale-nim in Naru form and team leader Sui Khan to act and scam the world together. The master and his top student, two master scammers, the whole ordeal is gonna be so beautifully done.

I love this idea! (*♡∀♡)

Even better that the costumes are terrible and the acting is super exaggerated (⌒▽⌒)☆

I can already imagine Cale's slacker life evaporating with this play! (*≧ω≦*)

TCF the Musical

Fic concept: Cale and his family watch a theater musical based on their adventures (much to Cale's horror and displeasure), "Ember Island Players" style

Raon hears about a theater play featuring Cale's group adventures. Cale really, REALLY doesn't wanna go and see it, but has little choice in the matter, once faced with the pleading faces of his children. Cale disguises himself of course, because he sure as hell doesn't wanna get recognized in the theater.

The play starts: Cale is introduced as a good-natured man, misunderstood and slandered by jealous folk (since people apparently decided that if Adin was the actual scum all along and his rep was a sham, why wouldn't the reverse be possible??) Apparently the musical decided that his past as a trash alcoholic never actually happened.

Choi Han is introduced, and the writers correctly investigated that he's from Harris Village and killed all the attackers, but was the only survivor. Cale is characterized as too righteous to let the matters be, and put this as his starting point to investigate Arm

Cale was portrayed to be humble and due to his bad rep, he wants to leave the Count's position to his brother Basen. (Real Cale is astonished, he doesn't want the position to be a SLACKER, not because of some self-sacrificial mindset!!!) But he requests to go to the capital to investigate more about Arm.

Choi Han comes along to investigate. On the way, they meet Mary. Cale isn't disgusted by her scars, and Mary promises to help the man in the future, should he ever need it.

In the capital, they're shown to meet badly disguised Rosalyn. The writers don't know about the assassination attempt, so they assume she went to investigate Arm, too. Apparently Rosalyn was credited in the musical for finding out about the mana bombs and dismantling them.

Cale and the Prince meet, and they have a whole number how instantly they recognized each other as kindred spirits. (Real Cale is dying on the inside watching this.)

Rosalyn stops the bombs in the background, and Cale stops the suicide bombers. The writers interpret Cale as having this power for a long time, but using it for the first time only in emergency, since he is a humble person who doesn't wish for glory.

Cale denies any rewards (completely untrue, Real Cale says to the kids, he took the Prince's money), and people of the Roan Kingdom start realizing just what a good person he is.

Cale goes to recover to the seashore, where he sees Toonka fighting some locals. (Those were the Whales, says Real Cale, not some mage thugs.) Cale breaks up the fight, and Toonka explains to Cale the situation in the Whipper Kingdom. Cale's idea of buying the magic tower doesn't come up here at all, and the scene makes a point that Cale and Toonka become friends.

The plot introduces us to the White Star, who is a completely crazy, power-hungry, cartoonish lunatic. Real Cale actually likes this representation a lot. He is plotting together with the Evil Imperial Prince, who is also cartoonishly evil. (Real Cale starts enjoying himself for the first time in the whole musical.)

To contrast the villains, the Just and Chivalrous Crown Prince Alberu has a number to drive the point how much he worries for his country, and the incoming wars. He thinks that perhaps with the help of Young Master Cale, they might be able to survive the incoming storms. (Real Cale is inwardly laughing hysterically, imagining Alberu's dumbfounded reaction to this scene, especially the part about Alberu's "unwavering trust in Cale's selfless heart".)

Meanwhile, Cale finished his recovery and goes to the Whipper Kingdom. His decision to buy the Magic Tower is shown to be a spur-of-a-moment thing, as the Whipper Kingdom needs money to continue fighting against the Empire, who the Crown Prince suspects is working with Arm. (Real Cale is disgusted how his very clever scam was turned into a selfless deed in this musical.) Toonka is indebted to Cale and loudly proclaims him his friend (since he does that in real life and the writers had sources)

Then Cale is shown to meet the Cat Children. Real Hong and On are irritated they came in so late. Raon is grumpy he isn't there at all. Real Cale comforts him that he had been hidden this whole time, of course they wouldn't know about him. The children say that the Queen of the Jungle is trapped in the Path of No Return, and Cale heroically helps rescue her. Cale uses his Water Ancient Power, which according to the writers, he found in the Ubarr shores during recovery. (Real Cale is surprised at the accidental accuracy.)

Cale saves the Jungle, and Litana has a number praising him. (Real Cale intentionally falls asleep to stop watching his character being portrayed as embarrassingly pure-hearted hero)

By the time he wakes up, the plot passed his "Heroic Actions" in the Empire and the war arc begins. Choi Han has a whole heroic solo number as he defeats Clopeh, who immediately is dazzled by the grace of his enemies, and joins them. (Real Cale is once again missed how completely off the mark the whole thing is, completely skipping Clopeh's torture and everything.)

We skip past various battles, and finally we arrive at the moment when the White Star shows up. He and Cale have a duet about destiny and all that jazz (mirroring the rumors started by the White Star's nonsense theory about Cale being "the messenger of the gods"). At this point, Real Cale has enough, and completely stops paying attention, to save his sanity.

Turns out, the kids didn't like it. It was much too inaccurate, and Raon wasn't in it. Cale comforts them that of course it was bad, because Raon wasn't in it. Raon decides he should start writing that biography with Mary, Clopeh and Dodori, much to Cale's horror.

Painter!Cale AU

Ok, we all know this panel where Violan's story is explained, right? (・・ ) ?

Well, this gave me an idea. ☆ ～('▽^人)

If Cale is the one who imagines this, it doesn't mean that he has a lot of imagination and that he should be able to paint at least with spots, right? ヽ(*⌒▽⌒*)ﾉ

That idea made me think about watercolors, and later about alcohol inks, which work in a similar way, look like this:

These are generated images of paintings created with alcohol ink and you can't tell me this isn't something you imagine Cale doing right? (⌒ω⌒)

Well these are my headcanon (＠＾－＾):

Cale started painting because Record would record the landscapes he liked in his head and play them like a catchy song until he found a way to get them out.

This was the painting, it started when he accidentally spilled some wine on a piece of parchment creating a stain that reminded him of a landscape he saw, Record wasn't going to leave him alone anytime soon so he started stretching the stain forming the image and then he realized realized that Record was no longer playing that recording. That's how it all started.

Cale mixed the lower quality alcohol with different inks and began painting to get rid of the "catchy landscapes" and over time he began to enjoy the process of creating the ink and painting.

Violan discovered his hobby by accident after finding him painting at Henituse Castle.

She was amazed by his paintings and insisted on having an exhibition for them. Cale, unable to deny anything to his family, accepts, thinking that they were no big deal and planning to ignore it.

Unknowingly, he ended up becoming an art genius because alcohol ink had not been invented in Nameless 1.

A list that every TCF fan needs (＠＾◡＾)

I understand you, I almost always try to think about what our hero would do if he were in my place…

The conclusion is almost always that I am not good at making plans (｡T ω T｡)

I've been noticing that I'm starting to pick up Cale's vibe. I catch myself acting and talking like him. I never used to swear that much before I read TCF, but now it's just a normal part of how I talk. Also, I find myself thinking, "If Cale was in my place, what would he do?" I don't know if this is a good thing or not, but I'm kind of into it ^^

This dynamic makes my little broken heart beat with emotion (*˘︶˘*).｡.:*♡

The Soos embody that "childhood friends who have witnessed every embarrassing moment in each other's life and are so used to each other's bullshit they don't question any of the actions the other does anymore" energy

And I have receipts for this:

Cale: *stops the Plaza Terror Invident and coughs up blood for the first time*

Choi Jung Soo and Sui Khan: *pops party poppers* congrats to our dongsaeng he did it! Now let's cut the cake

God of Death to Choi Jung Gun: they prepared the "Congrats Cale on Fucking Up Your Slacker Life Again" banner 3 weeks ago. Cale hadn't even planned on going to the plazza yet

_______

God of Death: Lee Soo Hyuk reincarnated and Choi Jung Soo became a wanderer

Cale: of course they did I should have foreseen this

_______

Sui appears as a hawk beastman: sup

Cale: ........ damn it I thought you were gonna be a baby

Sui: missed you too <3

_______

Choi Jung Soo: *crashes from the ceiling right in front of his friends who have been looking for his fugitive ass for weeks*

Cale: oh we found him

Sui: *mild annoyance but not surprised*

Choi Jung Soo: hi guys
