Guess Who Was Unemployed This Year (it Took 30 Min) AO3 Wrapped Edition

ok but legitimately i think the reason why kids aren’t taking internet safety seriously is because the people who are telling us not to put our personal information out seem so out of touch. no one acknowledges the possibility of meeting very real teenaged friends online, they always say that everyone you meet is a 40 year old white man in disguise. because they aren’t acknowledging things we know are true, it becomes a lot easier to dismiss the rest of what they’re saying as well. internet safety lessons absolutely must keep up with the times and acknowledge the internet’s capacity for good if you want kids to take to heart warnings about its capacity for bad.

Me, refusing to leave tumblr: sir, this is my emotional support hellsite

I would commit unforgivable crimes for Shelia, man.

Yes, give me 10 more of wherever this is

punkpool and spiderpunk inspired by this post

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"

And then I realized that I have a type on MC: people that have suffered enough and just want to take a fucking rest

The more I delve into the tcf fandom, the greater the urge to find some more Cale and Kim Roksu interactions as twins. Like... they're both so similar yet different.

OG Cale is a master actor. He tricked so many people into believing his facade and I'm curious to see more of his scarily good acting skills. But he also has the temper of a raging fire. His fury is apoplectic and while he doesn't have the strength to hurt someone, his sharp tongue and wit can cut boulders. He might not be able to rain upon real knives or magic spells upon his enemies, but he'll make up for it with words that'll sting followed by quick and unsuspecting attacks.

Meanwhile Kim Roksu has the poker face of a blank stone, with only tiny cracks showing in his emotionless facade. When he's angry, it's a chilling cold. Like snow falling, freezing over hell before he unleashes the fury of an unforgiving storm.

They're mainsplain, manipulate, and manslaughter in a single package. Plus three if they allowed their companions to join in their schemes.

They are both different yet similar. And I'm pretty sure if they ever teamed up (like in a twin AU or something) the world would have knelt in front of them by now. If they haven't already. Any god certainly can't stop these duo. Plus, it'll be pretty cool to watch them work together and being out maximum terror upon unsuspecting victims.

That, and I desire to see more of OG Cale being the spitfire, trash talking, vicious noble who wouldn't hesitate to throw any nearest object at someone he hates. Bonus points if Kim Roksu is behind him, ready to throw salt onto their wounds before burying them in the ground.

I just know Bruce saw the bruises fondly

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.
