Me Two Years Ago When I Had Kim Roksoo/Beacrox Fever:

My headcanon is that Cale has a deep deep voice and not naturally but more because OG!Cale was a alcoholic and his vocal chords are fucked up.

So, like the Gen Z that he's, he makes the "Hello, baby girl" to Choi Han because is the only one that will understand it (bc Choi Jung Soo memories). It goes like this:

Cale: *walking into the room and with the most deadpan face he says to Choi Han* Hello, Baby Girl *and walks out*

Choi Han: ????? *confused noises bc low-key that was actually good*

With no doubt.

He’s the best there is at what he does, and what he does is tax evasion

Holding aro/ace Cale Henituse and never letting him go because I can't be the only one who feels aggravated when I compliment someones appearance and everyone jokes about how I want to bang them.

I'm a firm believer he likes pretty faces not people.

___

KRS 18 y.o: she's pretty

Coworker: you like her? You need to ask her to go out!

KRS: no????

___

KRS 21 y.o: he's handsome, don't you think?

CJS: yeah, I don't know, he's not my type, you should try talk to him tho

KRS: ???why would I do that

I figured it out

I love KRS as hot pretty twink with long red hair Cale but I also want more of KRS as himself: beef and scarred

Normal siblings behavior. I can see this totally happening because when I was in school a friend and Ilearned how to spell ASL just to insult each other in the middle of the class. I was pretty good at it

My class and I also got pretty good at geringoso (add a p between vowels: apa, epe, ipi, opo, upu →cabron→ capabropon) just to fuck around

multilingual batkids. they learn each others languages so they can mix and match. for example:

tim in french: have you figured out how we’re gonna tell b we’re not going to that gala yet?

damian in arabic: no i thought that was thomas’ job?

duke french: me? no jason said he’d do something

jason in arabic: hey don’t drag me into this!

dick in romani: i’m gonna kill him i really i am

steph in russian: who are we killing?

dick in english: ah! nobody! wait i didn’t know you spoke romani

tim in greek: you’re an asshole

jason in english: wait my greek is rusty say it again slowly

tim in greek: you’re an asshole

jason: …. you motherfucker

cass signing: nice drawing

damian in chinese: thank you

dick yelling at bruce about something he did

jason in spanish: what language is he speaking right now?

tim also in spanish: uh all of them i think

jason: does bruce even know-

tim: no he doesn’t

Is the fact that when he did get close to someone, they died, so he never understood what came next in friendship or any other kind of relationship.

What do you do with the people that you love? He doesn't know, because he never had the time. He never learned how to share. With who? The dead? The graves? The rests of his loved ones? God?

You know most of the time people get angry at Cale because he can't for the life of him communicate things as they are, specifically regarding his health and seems to be unable to register his family worries for him.

And to that I said, of fucking course, his whole life on earth was horrible and he didn't develop emotionally because let's do a quick recap:

His parents died.

His abusive uncle took him in

He ended up in an orphanage.

When he was twenty the world collapsed.

He was bullied because he didn't have abilities.

Then the shelter he was in was destroyed

Once again he was alone until he met with LSH and CJS and let's not forget he was already 20 something.

Not long after they died as well.

Then he closed off with everyone because he didn't want to get attached just to lose them again.

He woke up in a novel

GoD confirmed he was supposed to die not CJS nor LSH.

He had to face his past again due to SG test.

...Well you get my point by now he was a little too busy surviving for him to actually develop self worth, most of his life he learned he wasn't someone who deserves affection or care and unfortunately no one said otherwise and if they did they die leaving him worse than before.

So it is no wonder he keeps things to himself all the time, after all why would others worry about him it makes no sense? At least from his pov.

That's why he is so detached at the beginning, still he can't help but try fixing things because it is the only action he knows

Surviving and saving others is so deeply engrained in him that unknowingly he keeps getting in a bigger mess. He got attached against his best efforts and gives more than he can take because he is not used to getting, the people who ever gave him anything always ended up dying before he could understand being emotional or plainly having emotions is normal.

The most beautiful man I ever laid eyes on

Kim Rok Soo (김록수)❄

Process:

I wasn't confident at all about painting this. The sketch seemed good enough, and I didn't want to ruin it. 💃

I don't think it turned out that bad, but I still think the sketch is my favorite.😭😤

Raon, talking with Litana: there's a game called Poker that my human, Goldie Gramps and Lemonade Gramps play together, do you play it?

Litana: no, we don't play poker here

Raon: why????

Cale, interrupting the conversation: too many cheetahs

Litana, amused: actually-

This novel was one of the first novels I read, so imagine my surprise when I was looking for something else, and nothing was even close to being as good at this.

How it treats KRS past life, his character and how intersects with the rest. And, yes, acting like an actual adult was refreshing, I also read a stupid amount of romantic Isekai and it's so weird for these women to act like they are 25 or 30 like they are supposed to be.

And thank every cosmic power, when he isekaided on a younger body, he didn't feel attracted to a minor. Because that apparently is a common factor in the rest of the novels I tried to read.

You know one of my favorite things about this novel?

Is that Cale (Well, Kim Roku Soo) actually acts his age (36)

I personally haven't read many Isekais aimed at male audiences, so I can't speak for those

I have, however read quite a bit of Otome Isekais

And one of the things that annoys me the most about the genre, is when the protagonist, usually an adult woman, gets reincarnated into a baby, a child or a teenager and you sometimes forget their actual age because some of the things they do, some of the decisions they make are /baffling/ when you remember they're a grown ass adult

But with Cale is quite the opposite, people around him are often left scratching their heads at some of his actions and level of maturity ("Aren't you supposed to be 18-20?")

Hell, one time he told Raon that he is "30 years older than him" only to remember mid-phrase that nope, he's actually supposed to be only 15 years older

-Spoilers for P1-

And it's also very funny when Alberu finds out that Cale is, in fact actually older than him, his reaction is pure gold because he's supposed to be the hyung around here you know?
