HAD TO REPOST CUZ SPELLING AHHH

Happy Birthday, my dear lazy man! I believe that one day you will be able to live your life as a slacker 😂😂😂

who can relate

Headcanon: Alver is a HUUUGEEE fan of dragons (considering his elven blood) but is just way better at controlling his expressions and suppressing his emotions compared to other elves.

That's not to say the same could be said for his younger self though 🫶

reading some cale quotes for fic purposes and i can't believe how much you can forget when you blitz through 1000+ chapters in less than two months.

like, cale curses so much. so much. i guess i didn't really internalize it since it was spread out over the whole novel, but he has such a dirty mouth and literally every time he mentions his enemies, he's cursing up a storm.

"i don't care if he's lived a thousand years or not, that shithead is a fucking bastard from now on." cale henituse, on the greatest threat of the whole part one of the novel. he's so eloquent.

i forgot how snarky his internal voice is. actually, maybe not forgot. just, kind of got used to it? until i stopped registering the absolutely sick burns he keeps dishing out on the regular.

it takes him until chapter 270 to realize that he should have just let choi han beat him up. that seems like a lot, but we've still barely reached the eastern continent. adin is still alive. cale doesn't even know who the white star is. the trouble hasn't even started.

also, at one point he actually admits to being raon, on and hong's parent??? out loud??? i can't believe i missed that, the whole dodori thing distracted me.

"raon. I’m someone who cannot forget. don't be like me." i didn't actually forget this one, but it feels like a gut punch every time i read it again.

hes my spirit animal

bingewatching will never come close to bingereading. there is nothing like blocking out the entire Earth for ten hours to read a book in one sitting no food no water no shower no bra and emerging at the end with no idea what time it is or where you are, a dried-up prune that's sensitive to light and loud noises because you've been in your room in the dark reading by the glow of a single LED. it's like coming back after a three-month vacation in another dimension and now you have to go downstairs and make dinner. absolutely transcendental

When a fic doesn’t fit my head canons but it’s well-written

"Would you save me, even if I was weak?"

And you know what? He did

One of his indignity trials was to save (Not)Raon again

He came up with an entire plan to drug everyone and spent quite a bit of time with the preparations for it.

Put some poison in their drinks, wait for them to fall unconscious, take the key, and free the dragon. Easy, right?

And then, as soon as the torturer took out the whip he was like "Nope" and immediately threw hands to release him right then and there, plan be damned

Cale

Who hates fighting and has avoided it as much as humanly possible, and has made a point several times about not wanting to

Yeah, that Cale

Cale is in unrequited love with the slacker life, and is in a committed relationship with doing the most possible

CALE/SLACKER LIFE IS ENDGAME HE'S JUST PLAYIGN THE LONG GAME RN/coping

I'm still in the early s2 but why do I feel like Yu Iseol is the one person Chung Myung has the opposite problem with. Like everyone is dying at his training and she's pushing herself too much

Probably because that's what she has to do to get stronger. She understands that and doesn't complain. Honestly, it's probably why she's the second strongest.

That's why I headcanon her as his favorite disciple. She doesn't whine about his training and takes it super seriously. She has a goal and wants to do anything to achieve it, sees him doing the technique she wants to learn, and follows his lead so she can do it eventually.

Also, if you're a big fan of Yu Iseol, you'll get to see her more in this season. 💕
