The fact that, Cale not only b*tchslapped the White trash but also beaten him up with a f*cking rock?!! The out right disrespect towards the White trash is insane!!! 🤌🏻💋🤣

One thing about Cale, he doesn’t play about his youngest son, Raon Miru!! Cale, the man you are!🧎🏻‍♀️🙇🏻‍♀️

Cale to every enemy he faces: Stop calling me a bad person just because I'm orchestrating your downfall.

Okay. Okay okay okay. So. Cale. Spoilers for book 2 past this.

Cale. As the Seed of Hope? Oh my god I have opinions. Or analyses, anyway.

Someone correct me in the comments if I’m wrong, but it was mentioned somewhere that the current God of Hope is Old™. Like, the only GoH that has been since there ever was hope, as of yet. Which leads to the assertion that a seed for the GoH position is extremely hard to come by.

Which makes sense if you think about it! Hope is something that everyone can have! It’s not bound by good or evil. Objectively bad people have hope too, because at the end of the day, they’re people. An evil person can hope for something to work out or even for something as simple as a good day. Hope has no preferences or limitations in the people it touches or who reaches out to it.

So the Seed of Hope has to be someone who isn’t strictly good, because they wouldn’t want to reach out to objectively bad people. Not someone strictly bad for the adverse reason.

Someone who is a contradiction, who is good and bad, moral and immoral, doesn’t care who they help but feels that underlying need to help when they see something that’s unfair.

(I’m going to say it. Especially if Hope is an Ancient God, Hope was balance before Balance was conceived.)

So. Who fits into that definition of Hope? Who touches all that they come into contact with, who crushes those who actively try to crush them, who is a contradiction?

Cale. Fucking. Henituse.

The whole thing about turning down the position aside, can you imagine how rare it must be to find someone like Cale if GoH is the same GoH since the creation of the gods? How insane Cale must be in the eyes of even the gods for meeting those qualifications without even trying?

GoD loves KrsCale because he is hard to predict and surpassed even GoD’s expectations. KrsCale wasn’t even GoD’s first choice. Or his second? GoD loved Cale because he turned out to be the best choice despite him not knowing it.

GoH? GoH loves Cale because Cale is just like them. Cale embodies them. To the point that they were more content to let Cale go and not insist he take their place. GoH loves Cale, to the point of choosing him over themself, because they are just like Cale, and Cale himself got adopted like he was On and Hong.

Like. Imagine being GoH. Being in a position that they mentioned canonically wears them down. Being in that position since literally ever. And finally. FINALLY. There comes a human who fits all the qualities that are required for the position, to be your heir and let you go retire to your own slacker life and relax for the first time in millennia.

GoH is so fucking old they don’t even have a body, be it because something happened to it or if Hope just came into existence as an abstract concept without a real form. Either way, the implications are astounding.

And then. Then you actually meet the human. The one that can actually free you from slaving away as a god, in a position you just want to retire from. Watching the human.

And he’s just like you.

You realize he’d hate the position too.

So you pull the most absolute Cale move in existence, and shoulder the responsibility back on like you’d never even considered passing him the responsibility in the first place. You lose your chance at your own slacker life and retirement for the sake of this human that you see so much of yourself in.

OH MY GOD. The parallels are insane actually. Because that’s exactly what Cale did when he saw On and Hong on the streets. He saw himself in them, looked around and asked if anyone was going to adopt these, and took them before anyone could say something. (Yes he said he’d make them work for their meals. And then just.. Really didn’t. But that’s what Lee Soo Hyuk did for him when he was younger too, and this post isn’t about the parallels there, so maybe I’ll analyze that in a different post.)

GoD has to tell Cale he’s his parent. GoH doesn’t say anything but gives up their one shot at retirement for him, paralleling how Cale has done for literally everyone but himself since waking up in Roan, despite what he tells himself.

We haven’t seen much of GoH, but even these parallels make me actually so emotional. Cale is Hope, not because he’s a good person, but because he doesn’t care about good or bad, just people. GoH is like Cale, not because they’re trying to be, but because of their nature and self sacrifice for his happiness.

They’re the same, and I’m actually so moved by the way it’s portrayed that Cale doesn’t need to be good or bad, because he’s Cale, and he’s Hope, and will always do what he thinks is best, even at the expense of his slacker life and retirement.
