I actually laughed so hard at this. Cale is so interesting..
part1 ch 85: venions torture arc
So Raon is describing details of how he was tortured to Beacrox and suddenly Cale kicks the chair venion was sitting on.
What I find interesting is that the author does not describe the type of expression Cale has while doing this, all we know is that this action is absolutely fuelled by anger. Its almost comical because he had no logical reason to do this, but what I like the most about it is that Cale is, as always, trying to act nonchalant about it, like he let an intrusive thought win, as if he doesn't feel angry at all, like a scientist simply testing the durability of a product and then turning around like yeah seems good continue????? lmfao
I really need to know how he looked when he did that, would he have a face full of anger? or would it be a more calmer expression but with a Ron-like murderous intent? He clearly didnt mean to interrupt the conversation which makes me believe something took over him and he was just so angry he didnt even realise he had kicked him.
You know, one of my favorite parts of tcf is how they deal with misunderstandings. Since Cale here, literally EVERYONE misunderstands what he means. Normally, I'm not a fan of when something adds a lot of misunderstandings, but the way the book does it is genuinely so good.
I generally feel second hand embarrassment when misunderstandings happen, but in tcf, when such misunderstandings happen, it tends to work out for him AND doesn't feel awkward. Mostly because they misunderstand Cale and think he's kinder then he is when he's actually being "selfish" (that gets quotation marks because he really isn't being selfish lol).
The three distinct types of found family:
Commits crimes together.
Fights crimes together.
Constantly switching back and forth between the other two at a horrifying speed.
Got cursed by thought goblins
Some of the people allied with Cale (like Bud Illis, Archie, maybe even Alberu) definitely wake up in the morning and thank whatever gods are up there that Cale is on their side because having Cale Henituse as your enemy somehow sounds like more of a nightmare than the motherfucking White Star.
Maybe one day I'll find the courage to finish this portrait. But while I don't, you guys can have our Lord and Savior Cale Henituse in his military uniform.
Finn + any pronouns + aroaceMostly lurk, but if I post/reblog it'll be about TCF/LCF or some web novels
