“Surely not…. It’s been 15 years… and anyone would have stopped before getting disowned, noone would lack *that* amount of care for themself”

And then basen doesn’t stop thinking about it for a week

Man only appeared TWICE in the novel (once near Part 1 ending and another in the side stories AND not even in his og body but in Team Leader KRS's body) but there's so much content about him that it's crazy.

(Go on don't mind me I'm just gonna stand beside the fandom buffet table and eat my fill)

Me and mutuals were discussing part-dragon thames hc for an au and these things just spawned in my art app

The idea that all OG! Cale needed was a single responsible adult whom he respected to sit him down and set him straight to prevent his self-destruction is so tragically frustratingly funny to me.

Like, it could have been Deruth, Violan or even Ron and he would have stopped.

I imagine that in a modern AU, when Cale's behavior first started, Deruth made the decision to go to therapy with his whole family to sort out their issues. Because Deruth loves his son and I do think that if therapy was a thing in Roan, then he would have definitely taken Cale.

Anyway, Therapist tells Deruth to get his shit together and sit with his son to have a heartfelt conversation because his eldest is more than the remnants of his late wife. They do that and badabing bada boom, issues are sorted and Cale isn't ruining his life and making himself miserable, and the family is close.

OG! TBOAH meet this Modern AU Henituse family and they are SHOCKED at how different the two Cales are, including Cale himself.

Then the reason is revealed and oooh boy, are there a lot of revelations.

"WAIT IT WAS ALL AN ACT?"

"All I had to do was tell him to stop????"

Funny shit.

Otome game AU except OG! Cale becomes self-aware Monika style and learns how to hack his world.

Cale notes that he's the game's favorite punching bag, as every ending ends up with him dead or exiled or some shit.

He pushed down the ache he felt but oh well.

"Huh, so that's why that girl is so weird, she's an otome protagonist."

Cale breaks free from his script and decides to do whatever he wants, this causes the AI around him to freak out and glitch. Cale sees that every day is monotonous and everyone has shallow personalities. He is sort of losing his mind.

One day, Roksu finds the game for cheap and decides to play it.

Cale immediately notices his presence and desperate to talk to someone actually sentient like him, accidentally changes the whole story and causes the game to glitch out.

He looks past the player vessel's plain exterior, she's nothing to him, and notes the reddish-brown appearance of her eyes which were previously dark brown.

Cale replaces the mls in most major cutscenes and quickly becomes Roksu's favorite. Whenever the game tries to force his interaction with a ml, he just turns back to Cale.

Cale starts to develop feelings for Roksu.

Roksu is conflicted about how attached he is to Cale.

The next time Roksu logs out, Cale updates the game and puts his whole video game life story in the update logs for Roksu to read.

might expand on this later.
