too many skk aus with beast chuuya meeting canon skk and the angst from beast chuuya’s pov cause he craves what canon skk have BUT LISTEN

i offer an alternative au idea with canon skk suffering! that is canon skk meeting ada chuuya. we all know in Beast Afterword asgr mentioned that there is likely a universe where chuuya left pm with dazai and joined ada. now imagine that chuuya ends up in canon skk world due to some ability. imagine canon skk seeing this chuuya who is in the Light bc of Dazai. the realization that chuuya is loyal to pm but his loyalty to dazai outweighs that. the pain that had dazai asked chuuya would have left with him. canon skk having to see ada chuuya casually mention sth about their life and burning with want and jealousy because this version of them didnt suffer like they did. they dont have a 4 year distance. they dont have things that the other doesnt know bc that’s what 4 years do to someone. especially when the transition is from a teenager to an adult. this chuuya would have dazai witness all his change and he’d see dazai’s changes too. they’re on the same side. partners still. can easily reach out for the other, can easily speak about the other without feeling like their heart is twisting. this version of them have everything that canon skk so desperately want but cant have.

this is what we need. we should leave Beast Chuuya alone cause he fr has suffered enough and do this!

edit: one more thing!

the feeling of “why him and not me?” that canon skk will have seeing ada chuuya. canon dazai thinking what did the other dazai have that made chuuya trust him so much as to turn his back on the people he considered family. what did that dazai have that he doesnt?

and canon chuuya thinking what did this chuuya have that made dazai love him so much that he asked him to leave with him. why this chuuya and why not him? what did he lack?

THE ANGST GUYS THE ANGST!!!

Don't destroy the village pookie, just make sure that no one is able to leave and no one else can get in before I humbly request you to torment them on my behalf, preferably as long as they're not riggin their mortis' yet.

Also! Make them know exactly what they've done wrong to get them into that situation. Hehe, I'm quite a petty and vengeful child of man, you see☺️

idk i just feel like if your village sacrificed you to deity malleus he would just. not be chill with that. of course he’s happy to have you as a companion, and for you to have escaped from those who would betray you, but they will NOT be having a good crop season. he does not fuck with the social ostracism aspect of sacrifices. trust, he will be placing curses on the village on your behalf.

[This is just my opinion, if you don't like it then just scroll past it]

Tbh, I find it strange how some people completely erase KRS!Cale from their stories and instead just have OG!Cale regress and just take things off from there or something.. I get that they like the guy but I can't find myself liking him more than KRS!Cale. (or at all, I don't know him that well)

And yeah yeah, it's their fics they can do whatever the heck they want but I just want to share my opinion and perspective on things.

I just can't see OG!Cale achieving even half of the success that KRS!Cale had obtained even if he regressed or took KRS!Cale's Ancient Powers for himself, I mean, the guy legit spent 20 years in Tboah just being a mere foot soldier while KRS!Cale fcked over WS in just two years and with limited information.

Even though his experience being a soldier can be useful, it's not gonna get him that far. Instead, to make it so that Og!Cale actually creates change, I feel like they just give him sheer dumb luck and a thick-ass plot armor bigger than KRS!Cale's. (I get that Krs!Cale is kinda the same but it just doesn't hit the same way)

There's also the fact that KRS!Cale's ginormous intellect and charm made it so that he can bulldoze his way into the White Star's thousand year plans.

Intellect and Charm that Og!Cale simply doesn't have. If he did, there would have been people that noticed he was soul-swapped. (I get that he was acting as trash but srsly? not even a single person noticed?)

I mean, in order to integrate him into Korea, GoD legit gave Og!Cale some of KRS's memories and also a fraction of Record and Instant while KRS!Cale had that kinda unreliable Tboah novel that he only read till like- the start of the invasion to the Henituse County or something?

There's also Record, Instant, and Embrace. These abilities were important in preventing casualties and is a big-ass stepping stone of KRS!Cale's success. There's also the bonds he has with his people and AP's that allowed him to fight enemies via power of found family and an excessive amount of explosions. There's a lot more I can rant about but I'm getting lazy.

TLDR; I just find completely removing a novel's MC and replacing him with a side character to be weird.

random thought #3

[Minor SPOILERS for the first part of TCF]

Cale treats his ancient powers like they're his friends. Some would say he "stole" them for his own benefit but I just can't see it that way after everything I read in the novel.

Cale, former Kim Rok Soo, made a connection with these people. To me, they're not just powers to him. In fact, it feels like he understands what happened to them and if he doesn't, he quietly listens to their stories. And the way he talks to them also feels less like a selfish person who wants to use them for his own protection and greed for power but more like giving them the chance to see a beautiful world that became peaceful because of them. It's like he's comforting them after they suffered so much in the past (which is also connected to the healing thing I talked about in my other post).

Like yeah, he's annoyed at them most of the time but he doesn't blame them whenever he gets hurt or bleeds way too much as a backlash after using them. Instead, he simply helps them achieve what they couldn't do when they died.

“I’ll come back tomorrow.”

Cale said goodbye to the rumbling tree as if it was a person and exited the fenced area.

- Chapter 5: They Met

If he truly didn't care about them, he wouldn't get angry for them or at one point, he would've let their voices disappear in favor of getting stronger.

I like his relationship with them. Like they're the voices inside his head (lmao) and it might feel like he has wireless headphones attached to his ears 24/7 but he treats them the same way as the rest of his friends and family and it's really nice to see.

This is kind of the reason why I feel a bit weirded out(?) when fanfiction authors would completely erase Cale's (OG KRS) existence in the fic and replace him with OG Cale and give the other the ancient powers. Like I get people like OG Cale, I do as well, but it feels kinda wrong to see them with another person after seeing Cale bond with these people. In fact, I can't imagine them being with anyone but Cale, this chaotic little shit who gives Super Rock huge headaches and makes the others go violent for or with him whenever he's fighting with an asshole. Aside from one ancient power (if you know, you know), I just can't see him having none of them with him after everything he went through with them.

I keep remembering his "almost one-sided" conversations with all of them because most of the time it's chaotic but the rest are just as emotional with a feeling of deep understanding coming from him. It feels like he always has someone with him so whenever they're silent, I feel like the air is too heavy (like those few incidents when I just want to hug Cale).

I think the best description for Cale is that he's full of empathy.

So yeah, this is a random topic I thought about chaotic Cale and his equally chaotic ancient powers. Yes, I'm including Super Rock who isn't normal either. He's tamer than the rest but he's definitely not normal 🤣 I swear some people who think they're normal in the story are probably in denial like Cale is.

It just popped in my head when I saw the line about the tree in Chapter 5, which I quoted above ☝️

[Note: I'm not saying these authors are doing anything bad, by the way. This is just my opinion and I usually just skip those fics when I see them. I won't stop others from reading those fics just because I feel weird about this one thing about the ancient powers]

[Second note: This is about the first part of TCF, I dunno what happens in the second part yet but I hope to see more of his interactions with them]

(Does this make sense? Prolly not, partially because English isn't my first language. Does it have plot holes? Definitely. Did it feel angsty when I wrote it? Yep. Be honest, am I delulu?? )

The tags did it for me😂

Why is Basen’s life low key like Sofia the first

THEY should be asking authors for fuckin permission. Don't disrespect authors by giving them more work to do (needing to opt out themselves if they don't want their works used) just because you don't wanna fuckin read and decided to just use their work as content for some wacky-ass app.

Why did the world come to a point where authors need to be the ones to reach out to some random-ass third parties just to keep their own work off their greasy paws.

Btw, what does "archive locked" mean, exactly? kinda new to ao3 and I still haven't explored all the features

Hey I don’t know if this is being talked about on Tumblr but thankfully the AO3 subreddit has a conversation going about this app that just went live.

TikTok user unravel.me.now has just launch an app (lore.fm) she is calling “Audible for AO3”. It’s an app that uses AI voices to read out fics.

🚨She is requiring any authors who do not want their fics to be on this app to OPT OUT by emailing team@lore.fm 🚨 🚨She has not given an actual template or how you’re supposed to prove you’re the author or said how her team will process this or how she will keep these requests secure🚨

I do not have this app. I haven’t seen anyone use it yet. According to Reddit users, unravel.me.now’s earlier TikToks stated she envisions the app being able to create libraries stored on that app and to have version of “Spotify wrapped”. That implies that eventually data collection must happen, if it’s not happening currently.

I don’t know the actual capabilities of this app. I don’t know the legalities. I do know that it personally feels like this app is trying to turn AO3 into a content generation source and I haven’t heard of the app allowing you to leave a comment or kudos or interact with the original work.

I’m just sad about this.
