LCFWeek Has Returned!

I love soulmates but also this-

scrolling through ao3, once again realising the one fic I want to read is the one I have to write.

Something I initially really liked about Cale's character is how he suddenly became the "trash" of the count's family and he seemingly takes it as an asshole permit.

No manners, rude? Well duh, He's the local trash.

And then, hundreds of chapters later it hit me:

This guy really never changed the way he acted, he says so himself and it's why Choi Han was able to easily recognize him in Choi Jung Soo's memories.

Which begs the question: What sort of internal narrative did he have going on as Kim Rok Soo to "justify" his behavior?

Baby Rok Soo was at the bottom of the social ladder, an orphan, poor and his uncle was an alcoholic and a gambling addict to boot

How many times do you think he heard things like "What can you expect from someone without parents?", or "Just what you would expect from someone who wasn't raised properly"

"Someone of your kind"

And then he became a Team Leader

How many things did he do or didn't do under the pretense of being "Cold-blooded"

It also doesn't help that he's unable to process praise or kindness directed at him.

things english speakers know, but don’t know we know.

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

you can start anytime.

you can brush your teeth in the middle of the day. you can wash the dishes at 2am. you can do things outside the normal times assigned by society.

for whatever reason tumblr has flagged this post from a deleted blog as explicit so I can't even reblog it anymore which is a shame because it's one of my absolute favorites

liking someone platonically is so embarrassing like. yeah i admire you. yeah i think about you all the time. yeah i look forward to every time i see you even if it's only for a minute. yeah it's all platonic and yeah i couldn't explain this because it'd sound romantic. fucking hell

Lee Soo Hyuk and Choi Jung Soo understand Cale the best. And they got there by painstakingly prying communication out of Cale's teeth when he was still Kim Rok Soo. They have cried tears of blood to understand Cale.

The problem lies with the fact that Cale now uses them as a standard for people understanding him. He just can't put into perspective the work they did to understand him, so he believes that he's easy to understand.
