Uhm... its not my favorite in the world but I can live with it. I won't lie when Imperial thronesong released and the words "baby sister" flew out his mouth I literally cringed so hard I wanted to die. His 3rd myth had me making this face the entire time.
But make no mistake, I was still having a good time with it. Because I respect plot above all else.
I was always aware of the sibling dynamic in Linkon that was being danced around and preferred it when the global server chose to lean away from it even if looking back, it may have been a disservice to his upcoming arcs as we were so severely blindsided when they went full throttle with it. I think the better option would have been to just come out with it from the beginning instead of playing up the childhood friendship trope more than the adoptive sibling trope. Thats where my true gripe was. It is with the company for not standing on business and getting me to like Caleb in that context and not the very obvious 'womb' twin he is. But also i do think in their context because we now know MC is cosmic dust or whatever, they arent siblings in the traditional sense so it doesnt have that same ickiness as sharing a human mother. Infold called them sibling deities and we all know deities arent born like humans are, they manifest. I think of them as being created from the same universe matter unlike the other boys who have origins that are totally far removed from her. Decoherence was such a great demonstration at explaining how their relation to each other works as their construo and destructio elements. I think I also spoke on that too earlier this year.
But it's been a while and I have healed. I mean I also kicked him out the harem for like 3 full days when that line dropped because I was like HELLLLL NAAAAAHHH 😭😭😭😭😭😭but he is back in and he is my baby and thats on period.
What bugs me the most though about general Caleb discourse is how people treat each other over it. And one thing it should never be when it comes to pixel hot men is that serious!
Leave other kids alone. If they like it, so what? If they don't, again so what? Calling each other everything under the sun won't change the story telling. And bullying strangers online over a fucking story is weird as fuck. Everyone gets to curate their feeds. So do that and stop acting mentally challenged you know what I mean?
I also can understand nothing is ever black and white and my interaction with this character is very much grey. I have days. I have fics I pick and choose. So overall...
I am fine with it. I dont love it. Which is surprising considering I love problematic tropes with my soul. I cant love them all I guess. What I do love is Caleb as a character. He is well written. His VA is incredible with the best range. So happy birthday to the colonel for being the most controversial character of all time and still looking like fine shit doing it.
i have gotten seven 5-star cards in 150 pulls 💀 absolutely crazy odds this time. and I just need one more caleb card for r2 but if my luck goes bad i could def run out of my last gems before i get it... 😣
Husband!Dad!Gēge!Soft!Caleb x MC
Ohhh!! A third fic??? Yay!! Really into making more fanfics for gēge guys XD this is a bit of continuation from the last fic Cool Scoops and Azure Plane(tumblr/AO3).
Terms of endearments trans: Baobei= Darling, Gēge= Older brother, Meimei= Younger sister, Jiejie= Older Sister, Xiao'er= Little Second, Didi= Youngest brother
You stood in front of the full-length mirror in your bedroom. You turned left and right, checking your slightly protruding stomach. Your hunch was right that you were pregnant. When Caleb had left for his previous mission for a month and half, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the two of you spent as much time together in the bed as possible.
The two of you couldn't get your hands off of each other that the thought of protection was pretty much forgotten.
A few weeks before Caleb would come back from that mission, you felt some of the symptoms when you had your two girls. You got tired easily, felt fatigued, and you had really bad cravings. You consider yourself lucky since don't throw up and get sick like most pregnant people.
However, even when you had that hunch you still decided to wait for Caleb to come home before taking the test. You wanted to see his reaction if there would be a third bundle of joy joining the house soon.
Caleb was the one holding the test and when the two lines were displayed on it Caleb broke into a big smile. His smile is exactly like the ones you saw from the two previous pregnancy.
Your husband immediately sweeped you off your feet, chanting over and over "I'm going to be a Dad again!" as he twirled the two of you around.
"You're already a Dad!" You replied back with a laugh as you wrapped your arms around his neck.
Caleb didn't reply back, he only continued to smother your face with kisses. He was over the moon with joy with the idea of having another baby with you.
Right now, the two of you were preparing to tell the girls that they'll be having another sibling soon. Caleb wrapped his arms around your stomach, hand covering it as he looked at you through the mirror.
"You feel them kicking already?"
You snorted your laugh, "Kicking? At two months?"
Caleb nuzzled against your cheek, inhaling deeply your scent, "Maybe they're an active baby. Got it from their Mom."
You pinched Caleb's cheek hard, "Haha, very funny. You're lucky you're not the one carrying. Both of our girls gave me bruises from their kicking."
Caleb kisses your cheek as an apology, "Baobei can do whatever she wants to me as a way to make up for you carrying our baby for the whole nine months."
"Hm, tempting," you say pleased, "Is this pass for nine months only?"
"Nope, it's a lifetime pass," Caleb grins mischievously as he pulls away to look at you, "As if you didn't have that pass since we were kids."
"Just reminding you of it," you say with a wink before kissing Caleb on the lips, "Gēge also has a pass to do whatever he wants to me. It's also a lifetime pass."
"Why do I feel like meimei has her way more even when I have a pass?"
"That's because that's the way you like it," you answer cheekily, "Anyways, are the girls ready?"
"Yup, they're at the living room. I've given them their milk tea as they await the big news." Caleb holds your hand and intertwines his fingers with yours, "Let's go?"
You nod your head and walk with Caleb, "Do you think they'll be happy?"
"Did you see our Jiejie when we told her she's going to be a Jiejie?" Caleb reminded you, calling your eldest a term of endearment that simply means eldest sister, "She'll be over the moon."
"Just like her Daddy?"
"Maybe more than her Daddy," Caleb replies as the two of you are finally at the living room where you girls are. They're seated the couch, your eldest daughter helping your youngest adjust the straw from her milk tea.
"There's my girls!" Caleb says as he opens his arms for a big hug, then carries both of them to set them on his lap, "How are the milk teas Daddy made?"
"Yummy!" your eldest said with a big smile, one tooth missing from the right side of her set.
"Yummy!" the youngest said as well, copying her Jiejie.
"And where's mine?" you say with a smile as you sit beside Caleb on the couch.
"Here Mommy," your youngest daughter stretched out her arm. Caleb had leaned in close to the coffee table so that she can grab it and give the cup to you.
"Thank you Xiao'er," you say as you lightly pet her fluffy hair.
"So, Mommy and Daddy have big news for you two." Caleb started, catching the attention of both girls.
"News?" your eldest daughter repeated the word as her head tilted to the side.
Caleb nodded, "Yup, big big news!"
"More milk tea?" the youngest guessed, making you and Caleb laugh.
"Better than more milk tea," you tell her.
"More cake!" the eldest said with confidence.
"I see both of you inherited your Mommy's appetite and head full of food only," Caleb teases, "But no, something better than food."
"Come here," you motion to your girls as you take their hands that weren't holding the milk teas. "What do you think is in Mommy's belly?"
"Food?" your youngest guessed.
Your eldest gasped loudly, "Mommy you ate all the cake!?"
You laughed, "No! Not food!"
"They really are like you," Caleb says and he's absolutely on cloud nine from watching the three of you, "But not food and there's still cake in the fridge."
Your eldest pinched your stomach, "Then is there another baby in Mommy's stomach?"
"Yes." you answered with a smile.
"Yes?!" Your eldest repeated with a shout, "A baby?!"
"Yes!" You repeated and you love the look of absolute love and affection on both of your girls' faces.
"A baby! A baby!" Your eldest says as she shoves her face against your stomach, "I want a baby brother!"
"Hm, mommy also wants a baby boy," you agree with your eldest, "What if they're a girl?"
"I want another meimei!" the eldest squeals, just as excited if she gets another baby sister.
"A house full of girls," Caleb says, "Well, I already grew up being the only guy in our family." he says with a grin.
"Didi, didi," your youngest says this time as she continues to pat your stomach.
"Seems like Xiao'er wants a baby brother," you says as you hold her little hand in yours. She's already calling the baby in your stomach a term of endearment for baby brother.
"I'll take care of both Meimei and Didi," your eldest announces proudly.
You looks at Caleb and see the soft way he's looking at his daughters. It's in soft moments like this that you feel yourself falling deeper and deeper in love with him.
"How about we make a list of names we want for our new baby?" you suggest and all three of them cheer at the suggestion.
Husband!Dad!Gege!Soft!Caleb x MC
Ohhh! A second fanfic! Yay! This idea came to me cuz I read a recent fic where MC/You were pregnant. This is a little fic of your lovely family with Caleb and your kids. Anyways, enjoy guys! 💜🍎🍏
Use of Chinese nicknames/endearments
"Happy birthday to you!" You sang along as you held in your hands your now two-year-old daughter. She giggled happily as you helped her blow the candles on her pink Cool Scoops cake. Her favorite is Cool Scoops and she never lets go of her plushie that she currently held it in her tiny little hands.
"Baobei," You called out to Caleb who currently held a camera. You can't call him gēge in front of the kids and have long started calling him darling instead. Not once did he let go of the camera, wanting to save the moment. "Can you cut the cake?"
"Sure, let me-"
"I wanna cut the cake!" Your eldest daughter suddenly squealed, her arms stretched out towards the two of you as her purple eyes were starry with cheer, "Can I mommy? Please!" she pleaded as she looked at both you and Caleb.
Caleb hummed as he scooped her up into his arm, his other hand still holding the camera, "I don't know? Are you big enough to cut the cake?" he teased.
"I am! I am! I'm a big girl now!" she pouted, giving her Dad her puppy dog eyes that she had definitely inherited from Caleb.
"She is five already," You say as you pinched your eldest daughter's cheek, "But, you can't hold the knife alone. Daddy has to hold it with you."
"Can't say no to my girls, huh?" Caleb laughs before he lets go of the eldest so that he can grab the tripod nearby, "Let's take a video of you cutting the cake."
"Yay! Yay!" Your eldest cheers.
The four of you are celebrating your youngest daughter's birthday together. There's another party with friends and relatives at a later date. Caleb had wanted to monopolize and have his girls for himself. He had just gotten back from a long mission so you were more than happy to indulge him... besides, two cakes are better than one.
Your daughter holds the knife, but Caleb's big hand cover hers entirely. They make three cuts, since you're going to be sharing yours with the little bundle of joy in your arms.
"Does Xiao'er want cake? Does she?" You ask your daughter, the nickname 'little' given to her since she's your second daughter. Your daughter stretches her arms, a big smile of her lips as she eagerly waits for you to give her a piece of the cake on your fork.
"Ah, you have icing all over your mouth," Caleb chastises as he grabs a napkin and wipes your eldest daughter's face, "Daddy thinks you're not such a big girl yet," he teases, making your eldest complain and tell her father that she is.
You laugh and feed a small piece of the cake to your daughter. You're glad that Caleb kept the camera running because the way her eyes widened and the billion-dollar-watt smile that emerged from her lips was precious.
"Looks like Xiao'er loves vanilla strawberry,"
"Yeah? Does big sister like vanilla strawberry too?" Caleb asks the eldest.
"I want vanilla and blueberries!" she states proudly.
"We'll get vanilla and blueberries for your birthday then." Caleb tells her.
Your eldest cheers, "Can we make my cake Azure Plane?"
"You gonna be Dad's co-pilot?" Caleb grins.
"No! I'm the Captain!" she says proudly with her chin held up high.
After the festivities had gotten your daughters tired, you put both of them to sleep. Caleb had stored the cake and food in the fridge, then washed the dishes.
You watch your two little angels sleep on the bed. Your eldest had insisted on sleeping right next to her meimei. She holds the youngest's hand, their fingers intertwined as your youngest's Cool Scoops plushie is between them.
You can't help but watch them, a happy warmth in your chest. They grow up so fast you think.
"Hm, wish they'd stay little forever," you suddenly hear Caleb behind you, his arms wrapping around your waist as he rests in his on your shoulder. He sways the two of you a little as the two of you watch your daughters.
"Why? Are you afraid of them bringing boyfriends soon?" You jest.
Caleb snorts, his face suddenly showing an expression of annoyance or displeasure, "Don't get me started on that. No man is worthy of my girls."
You stifle down your laugh, one hand softly patting Caleb's cheek, "There, there, you'll always be their number one man," you assure him, however, you suddenly add, "Not unless they get a brother."
Caleb arches his brow at that, "You want another baby?"
"You don't want a baby boy next?"
Caleb ruminates on your question, eyes closing as though he were in deep thought, "I'm happy with our girls," he says with a soft smile that makes you melt, "If you want a baby boy, then I'll love him just as much and be just as happy. Whatever makes my meimei happy is also my happiness." he places a soft kiss on the corner of your lips.
"Love you, gēge," you whisper to his lips before giving him another kiss. You had been thinking of a baby boy next. You had a pregnancy test stashed away in the bathroom cabinet. You have a feeling you might be pregnant, but it could be a false alarm.
However, hearing Caleb's answer makes you the happiest meimei in the world. Caleb would be happy and content whether you give him a third child or not. He loves you and the girls, his whole world is the three of you. You feel the same as him, happy in your house full of love and warmth.
Stalker!Yandere!Gēge!Caleb x MC
Notes: Ohhh first Caleb fic ehehehe please enjoy guys uwu 💜🍎🍏2nd POV. You/MC are non-binary of the sort, this can be read as you are either a guy or a girl or other even if you're called meimei
You had always known that your gēge was attentive and knew you like the back of your hand. He's your doting older brother, of course, there was nothing that he didn't know about you. All of your likes and dislikes he's noted down until it's pretty much engraved in his brain every single detail about his meimei.
There's nothing weird about it, right? Nothing to be concerned about. The two of you grew up together and there's no one in the world who knew you or him except for the two of you.
However, you both have a secret.
Caleb doesn't know that you knew about him watching you. Your every move, every item, every clothing, and even down to missing pen from your bedroom he knows.
It had started when you were around fifteen. Caleb thought he was slick, perfected his art of being unnoticeable. What he didn't think to consider was that you're his meimei.
Whatever Caleb knew or did, you in turn would know as well.
It didn't ever occur to him that the reason your bedroom door was slightly ajar, your panties suspiciously thrown onto your bed that you had "forgotten", or how you would fall asleep on the couch with your skirt riding up high that if he peeked right he would see underneath.
Was your gēge really that clueless or like you, was he feigning ignorance?
Either way, this is something that gets you both hot and bothered.
Gēge is at home, the home that the both of you built. He had let you shower first as he as he finished cleaning up the table and dishes. You took your sweet time at the bathtub, knowing fully well how long it would take for Caleb to finish up.
As you were at your shared bedroom, you left the door ajar as usual. The bathrobe you were is on the bed. You have a habit of patting your body dry before disrobing completely as you decide what to wear for the night.
You can tell that Caleb is just outside, his peering eyes staring straight into you, almost as if he were staring straight into your soul.
You try to hide your smirk.
You decided on which panties to wear and which night gown. The moment you were fully clothed did you hear a knock from the door.
"How many times do I have to tell you to close the door?" Caleb reminds you with an arch of his brow. He has his arms folded against his chest as he lightly leans on the door.
"I just keep forgetting," you shrug with a roll of your eyes, "Besides, we're the only ones in the house. It's not like anyone will watch me." you've said this a couple of times, a little hint that you know what happens.
Caleb smirks and this really just feels like a game at this point.
You know he knows.
You both know but play ignorant.
"Don't worry meimei, if anyone tries to do that they won't have eyes to look at you for long. I wouldn't let anyone do that to you."
'Because you're the only one allowed to do that.' you muse internally, but don't voice it out.
"I know I can count on you gēge," you say with a wink, "now go shower, I want you in bed."
not complaining about Caleb being a rough gēge who sometimes seems forceful towards his meimei and am very happy for our Caleb fics!
But my personal headcanon is that he's the soft gēge who definitely gets more pleasure from seeing his meimei happy and satisfied to the brim. Gēge in my mind would never do anything that would make his meimei sad/scared unless it's a situation like in the main story where his meimei's life is in danger.
Anyways, I wanna make short fics about gēge being a sweet sweet and thoughful lover to his meimei and will only be rough unless meimei tells him so 💜
I wanna ask for ideas lol guys if you have any ideas you want me to write please tell me, I kinda wanna make a lot of fics for all of us to read about our favorite gēge 💜💜💜🍎🍏
