So, I Was Thinking On The Little Mermaid. About How She Lost Her Mom When She Was A Kid, And Then Music
So, I was thinking on the little mermaid. About how she lost her mom when she was a kid, and then music become a taboo around the palace, so she had to snuck out to enjoy music. And my dumb brain whispered "hey, do you think Cale had something like that?"
And now I can't stop thinking about little og Cale, who loved his mom a lot, but loved his father too, and didn't want to see him sad.
The question is not if he had things he enjoyed doing before his mom's death, but that he stopped doing around others after she died. The question is:
What habits or activities do you think he liked to do before? What do you think he kept doing where no one could find out? Which ones do you think he stopped doing because there was not point in doing it alone?
Do you think he liked painting, drawing? I can imagine little Cale seated on his mom's lap while she paints, trying to look serious like his mom, sketching the bird on the window. I can imagine Cale, older, lonelier, locking himself in his room under the excuse of sleep and pulling out a sketchbook from its hideout.
Maybe he liked to sing along his mom, to play something for her. Maybe he still sings for himself. Maybe he goes out and wanders, looking for a place remote enough so no one could see him. Maybe he seats on a branch of a tree and sings until the sun sets. But, maybe, he hasn't play a single note since his mom went away. Maybe everytime he holds an instrument, his hands shakes so much from sadness that he has to put it down ir he'll break it. Maybe he doesn't even touch one around others because he's afraid that they could see how lonely he is. That what he shows is usually just an act.
Maybe he used to do other things. Maybe he used to try desserts and pastries with his mom. Maybe he used to learn etiquette and dancing from her. Maybe they used to choose clothes together. Maybe he still can do all that when the situation allows it. When it doesn't look suspicious.
And maybe he used to play hide and seek with Ron and his mom. Maybe he used to brush her hair and braid it for her. Maybe she used to teach him about plants, doing some gardening together.
Maybe Cale Henituse could never do that again.
Maybe, once he swapped bodies, he slowly started to do things again.

More Fem OG! Cale rambles...
The idea of Callie as a noona/unnie is very precious to me. Callie brushing Lily's hair while the little girl animatedly talks about her day and her training. Callie giving Basen advice on his studies and forcing him to take a break when he pushes himself too hard.
Firm believer that OG! Cale would give the Best hugs ever, Callie has the bonus of having soft boobs as well :) So, I imagine that any hypothetical love interest Callie would have would take great pleasure in burying their face in her chest. Alberu? Long day of mansplain, manipulate and malewifing, he is so tired and all he wants is his firecracker 'trashy' wife in his embrace and his face in her tiddies. Choi Han? Long day of arguing and training and commandeering, cuddles in the cover of darkness are a must.
I'd mention more but maybe later. All you have you to know is that Callie has soft boobs and they are great.
Also, I have a big thing with like scent attraction and obviously, Callie putting the amount of effort that she does into her appearance, would smell great. I don't know what she would smell like though so feel free to give suggestions!
Callie would have practical accessories, especially if it is a regression AU. Her hair pins can be used to stab people and they function as lockpicks. Her rings are designed to function like sharp brass knuckles and her necklaces have protective mana jewels that create small shields. Stuff like that.
Anyway, that is all for now.
Alberu, having dinner with Cale
Raon: Cookie prince, how's food?
Alberu: It's great, Raon-nim. Send compliments to the chef
Raon: Okay
Raon, teleporting to the kitchen: You look cool when you hold your long sword
Beacrox: ...alright
You know those "Og!Cale transmigrates into an Otome" fics?
Well, what about a fic where capture target Alberu goes to sleep one day and dreams with the plot of his life— that apparently is a game???— and finds out that:
First, the new student is going to start a war if she/he/they keep acting like they do.
Second, there's a high chance that Marquis Stan and his son, Venion, betray Roan.
And third— his fianceé, Cale Henituse, is actually really truly cute.
Now, how can he convince his fianceé that a position as the husband of the future ruler is a better way to avoid a succession battle than, you know, tarnishing his own reputation to ashes? He also has to woe him as he deserves. There's no way he's treating him the same as his alternate self did.
(Yes, alternate. Because now he has seen how adorable, intelligent and sweet he is, he can't possible be so indifferent towards him.
Alternate Alberu is the stupid Alberu and present-Alberu denies any relationship to him.
"Aunt, if I ever become so dumb, please put some sense into me."
"Alberu, you haven't even checked if that dream was true."
"It was a very realistic dream.")
He also needs allies. Hmm... Maybe he could ask his help? Cale doesn't seem someone who would trust completely in someone who doesn't trust him back. Plus, he probably could come up with a plan or two in the time it takes to make a pot of tea.

Yeah, that checks out
I made a what the fandom thinks of you generator
edit: please remember
1. i have to read all the tags
2. ITS RANDOMLY GENERATED I AM SORRY IF YOU DONT LIKE YOUR RESULT BUT DO NOT FUCKING HARASS ME ABOUT IT
thank you
I was thinking about OG!Cale, and like the Thames family in general and I thought it would be cool if the Rings of Life was this kind of unsettling power.
Imagine looking into someone’s eyes, and you see thousands and thousands of circles layered upon themselves, of course, it isn’t really that many, and there shouldn’t be anything in those eyes at all, but the longer you stare the more they appear. You blink, and they’re gone, but the gaze they give you isn’t any less scary.
I’ll be talking about both Jour and OG!Cale in regards to how I think this power affected them. Like idk I just think it would be cool cause being able to see time is such a power, it’s so scary, and it’s so all knowing. I feel like anyone who has it, and uses it often would just have such an unsettling gaze. It’s like their stare is reading you like a book, as if your story is something they can easily unlock with just one glance.
Jour Thames:
I think Jour would have this kind, and calm personality.
She’s bright but at the same time, when she looks at someone she gets eerily quiet which is a contrast to her normal talkative self.
Knowing so much, seeing the fate of others at just a glance is something that would burden anyone. After all, time is not something humanity is supposed to walk hand in hand with. Humans follow time just like everything else does, but the Rings of Life whisper time’s plans into the Thame’s ears.
I think the scariest thing about her would be how casually she would drop some life changing information. She mentions it like it’s just one verse in a poem, short, but impactful.
If you were to ask her what she meant, maybe she would smile and laugh before going back to whatever she was doing.
Original Cale Henituse:
I think in many ways, the Rings of Life would affect Cale like how it affected his mother. He’s committed to doing things right, just like she is. He would do whatever he could to make sure those he loved stayed safe.
No doubt, his gaze would be just as scary and unsettling as Jours. Those eyes stare through your soul and into the very inner-workings of your time and life.
His time is warped. He is an anomaly, someone who technically should have never existed as he did according to the very laws of the universe.
It is because of that fact that he is closer to time than anyone else.
Being close to time himself, I feel like he’d become used to time fracturing like it was normal. For him, that is what he’s seen any time he’s looked at himself with those powers.
Cale would be the kind of person to bring something up suddenly. How it felt like time didn’t work quite right for you, he would look you in the eyes and it would feel like he’s seen everything he needs to know about you.
You would ask him what he meant, but with the way he smiled blankly, it really felt like you shouldn’t pry.
