THOUGHTS on Calian????? Loved Afa btw <33 so excited to read next chaps of CWD.

thank youuu <333

now onto the question.

OH MY GODDDD calian??? CALIAN??? you mean the love of my literary LIFE??? the man who probably hasn’t blinked since chapter 3 but somehow radiates more emotion than my entire family combined??? AAAAAAAAAAA CALIAN MY BELOVED MY STRANGE LITTLE DEATH MAN MY ODDLY HOT GRIM REAPER KING

i am SO NORMAL about him (thats a lie). he’s literally just standing there being creepy and sad and awkward and i’m like ❤️❤️❤️. he has NO social skills. he speaks in riddles. he probably hasn’t laughed in 300 years (ignoring *ehem* oliver *ehem*). i want to give him soup and a blanket and tell him it’s okay to have feelings.

i think about him daily. i would fistfight god (his boss? or his bestie?? unclear) just to give calian a hug and maybe brush his hair.

and the character design?? all tall and eerie and tragic but also deeply relatable like yes king i too have no idea how to process human emotions. PEAK. 10000/10.

i love him so bad. i would ascend to be his daniel. i want to follow him around like a weird little goblin and ask him peculiarly deep questions like daniel did until he gets annoyed. 10/10 would die for him (he’d probably be the one to take me out too and i’d say thank you sir).
