Replacing "I'm your brother" with "I'll always be by your side" brings in contradiction that's both ironic and actually is still in Caleb's character. Cause they can go months without any way of contacting each other. He has to plan billions of years in advance to get just a day of being by MC's side. And even then, Important Call (tm) might happen. A bit of unfortunate catchphrase.
it's Summer
Sometimes I'm reminded of how hurt MC is when she says "you killed my Caleb" to Caleb in Lucid Dream, then flash forward to him saying "your Caleb. Tell me that it's Caleb you want. You want Caleb. And it will always be Caleb" during their first time in Vinesurge Instinct and I want to cry.
Seeing Caleb in Butler Cat merch always makes me laugh. It's as if he was planning on participating in the event and sadly couldn't make it (due to death 😔🕯️), but all the merch was already producing.
We even know what his tailcoat would have looked like! If only Caleb hadn't exploded...
I've heard people call the Netherlord Caleb's wet dream, but I see it as a never-ending nightmare for him. He's trapped in a slowly dying universe he can't fix without doing it how gods want, his meimei is getting inexorably worse, and instead of being there for her, he spends most of his time stabilizing two worlds and puzzling over a way out that doesn't exist. Everything is moving towards the end and he can't do anything about it.
And that's if you discount the fact that this myth in a way is kind of a continuation of Decoherence, where they are forced to continue living in the world they destroyed. And Caleb is forced to see the consequences of his self-sacrifice and how it affected MC, and feel all ways about it. "It's all gege's fault." Of course it is.
Caleb, in the midst of the action going: "Young lady 👀, I didn't teach you this "
Kittyleb. Please, infold.
I think we're not talking about this enough.
I skimmed like 185 pages of Caleb’s second book recommendation (Inflight Science: A Guide to the World from Your Airplane Window by Brian Clegg) so you don’t have to.
Listen. Caleb didn’t recommend a book. Caleb recommended a way to annoy you with facts forever.
Having said that, there’s a LOT of fun nerd shit in there. Like genuinely. Planes, physics, quantum stuff, lightning striking aircrafts, radiation exposure… you name it. It’s basically just Caleb yapping for hours.
BUT.
There was one part that absolutely sent me.
“𝐀𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥, 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐛𝐞 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐦𝐞. 𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧, 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐛𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐲 𝐬𝐦𝐢𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠.”
HELLO??? You’re telling me this man can just casually look at you after a mission and go:
“Maybe I should stop flying… wouldn’t want to end up calling you jiějie”
ANTI-AGING KING CONFIRMED. Like I’m sorry but this is so him-coded it hurts. All that science just to end up flexing that he’s technically younger by 0.00001 seconds but he can tease you EVERY time he comes back home lmao
Anyway yeah. Great book. Learned a lot… Mostly that I probably can’t read science without hearing Caleb in my head anymore.
The world is a cruel and unjust place- OMG, heartbeat lines and what-to-eat lines now voiced!
the farspace fleet? you don’t need to know it like the back of your hand. it’s nothing more than hyenas fighting over scraps.
R1 Netherlord and his bloody hands
I was thinking about this before, but now I'm thinking harder.
If Caleb and MC are the same, if they're one soul in two bodies...
Does this mean that Caleb can't die, too? That he'll just resets like MC? We had him "almost" dying few times in main story already and he even figured out the way to preserve his memories - and I'm not sure that he did it only because of EVER.
I love how in almost every AU card (following the classic pattern established by Homecoming Wings), Caleb acts suspiciously for the reader and the MC, never directly saying anything about his business, and exuding a casual "Don't worry about it :3" vibe. And in every one of these cards turns out that Caleb is actually extremely on edge and stressed, and everything around him is falling apart while he tries to fix it all, or at least find a way for MC to not fall apart along with said "it all".
