Cale being aroace is one of my dearest head canons

Both of them

Like,part of why tcf is so dear to me is because of how it showcases that love is universal in all forms.It has no romance,and for me,that’s what makes the story perfect.

Its not like I don’t enjoy romance or even Cale being shipped with various people around him,god knows how many fics I've read of tcf that are just romance focused,but there’s a comfort in knowing that the story will never go in that direction.Because it doesn’t need to.

It doesn’t need romance in its life to be loved so vividly,both by me and other people. The idea of burning down the world for someone you love but will never be in love with,the thought of relationships that are clearly ’just friendships’ but showcasing that love so beautifully.Just as beautifully.

I am in love with tcf because of it.

Alberu or Choi han or any other person with Cale could get the same treatment of ships by people of the fandom.But those relationships themselves are built on what everyone reads.And in the end the reason why is because the bonds between all of them are so ridiculously precious,imagining them to be in love is not so far fetched.

And they do love each other.Dearly.Its a bond that’s ’just’ friendship but its so damn beautiful that you cant help but love every part of it.And the best part is,that its treated just as importantly as romantic love interests are in any other novels.

The cast of tcf.They found each other,broken and tattered,and reforged themselves into the family that most of them never had.

Platonic love.Thats what tcf is built on and i will forever treasure this story because of it.

as someone who doesn't really notice ships gsgw is hilarious. everywhere you look someone is white knuckled gripping the character and going insane about a different ship. also every ship is doomed apparently. hilarious. god's bravest soldiers o7

was at a bar and a 50+ year old drunk white woman complimented me and my friend's outfits, told us there was a campsite up in northern maryland where a lot of gay bears go to have sex in the woods. we asked her how she knew about this and she very aggressively said "because i'm a FAG HAG!!! but i'm not allowed to say that anymore I GUESS!!!"

there's no temptress quite as irresistible as the mid afternoon sleepies

Something about Cale is that the man has no pride. and i mean that in the best way possible. He literally has no care for honor/pride/dignity. The most he would care about would be if the situation is physically uncomfortable, but that's about it.

This came to me because even though its obvious he wouldn't bother about pride considering the life he has led, its still kind of...unique. He's the type to say 'does honor serve you two meals a day?' He's the type who wouldn't hesitate to act as a servant or roll around in mud (literally) in front of anyone if it serves his purpose.

And i think that's such a captivating part of his personality to those who've only heard of his 'noble' image (Choi Han and everyone else).

The only thing he cares about is peace. Peace of everyone who lives under him, which (indirectly) means his own peace. And to those who know nothing about his non-existent self-worth, Cale would only appear as a saint, a person so humble and devoted to peace that it feels too good to be true.

But then they see him saying 'run away if you see a strong enemy'. They see him not caring about how he looks, rolling through dirt and all sorts of mess, having no shame in ordering them again and again to just run away from the battle.

Considering these actions, i think it's hard not to absolutely cherish and respect this man. A man who only cares about 'life', the lives of everyone under him, and their peace.

Tldr; this man's charisma is off the charts ^^

oh my god i just remembered time is passing

Happy (TEMPORARY) retirement…

[theredcuyo]

I love Cale insisting he was NOT going to take in the tigers and then just giving up like "might as well"

He doesn't have any good reason for it, he said it himself, but he just can't help taking in more strays, can he?

Clopeh functionally serves as the pervert character a lot of power of friendship shows have, but I think it's beautiful they kept him completely platonic. He is obsessive of Cale and does things that makes cale uncomfortable (the whole caleism thing), and many of the other characters hate him because he fits the perverted voyur archetype (and i guess because he was a villain and tried to kill them or smth), but most importantly Clopeh never crosses into genuine harassment or actually has done something that harmed Cale

[tyrvine]

baby, i want some of your love!

[sighcider]

it always feels ironic to say as someone who engages with fandom mainly through shipping, but some people have got to explore aroaceness and just different forms of love more in fandom. you don't need to make that character jealous\possessive actually, you don't need to add an immediate spark, their love can be functionally friendship but still called romance, the only difference is what they call it, you guys can do it
