The Beauty of the Butterfly Effect in TCF

The amazing thing about Cale's actions in TCF, is that despite his "selfish" (and I use that words very skeptically; just because you gain profit from helping people doesn't negate the good things you do) choices to change the story he read in "The Birth of a Hero", all of his actions actually make a bigger and better impact than Cale himself can even imagine.

And I'm not just talking about him saving the world from a 20-year-long war and the White Star winning.

Starting with Choi Han, who got demoted from the Main Hero to the Second in Command. Despite his obvious physical predisposition to take on the protagonist role, he's actually much happier as someone with less responsibility. By "stealing" his spotlight, Cale turned Choi Han from a depressed hero with the weight of the world on his shoulders, to a man who's learning leadership skills from the best leader there is: Cale.

Saving Raon from death had enormous consequences, not just for Cale's side chances of success but for the fate of dragons accross the continent. Even the World Tree mentoned how much Nature was shaken by this diversion from the original timeline.

Making Lock and Choi Han meet just a bit early changed the fate of his entire family, as well as the other Wolves they rescued from Endable much later in the story.

Saving Paseton, who discovered vital information, prevented the mermaids and Arm from taking over the ocean routes from the Whale Tribe.

Connecting with Toonka not only developed his character from a self-destructive brute into a decent leader, but also saved the entire Whipper Kingdom, which was supposed to lose against the Empire in a prolonged conflict.

Putting out the fire in the Jungle saved it from an even more terrible fate than it burning down: Cale unintentionally stopped Elisneh's plot to mind-control Litana and her warriors to attack the Whipper Kingdom.

Befriending Alberu changed the game completely, because Alberu was the one who connected Cale with the Dark Elves and the last Necromancer – who were absolutely essential for their victory against Arm and the White Star. They could have never won without them, even with dragons on their side. Not to mention how thanks to Cale, Alberu figured out a way to overcome the "curse" of the Sun God and got a weapon which could slay the strongest Unranked Monster.

Without Mary Cale couldn't have helped Hannah, who alongside Jack was also absolutely essential to winning against he Empire without a ton of people dying in a bloody revolution. And with Jack in charge as the new Pope, Cale basically made peace between the Sun Church and creatures with dark affinities.

And last but not least, by saving Ron and helping him bring back the Molan Household, Cale flipped the entire eastern continent's underworld upside down, since it was under Arm's control.

Basically, Cale action's had such a large impact it's hard to call it Butterfly Effect anymore – more like "HurriCale Effect", lol. No wonder he became a famous heroic figure across both continents. He single-handedly changed the entire world.

...Too bad Cale is allergic to self awareness 😂

KRS's Bounty Headcanon

I recently read chapter 14 of "In an Instant" TCF fanfic by Messy-Haired-Bum, and this moment gave me a pause:

“There’s a bit of an adjustment period,” [Kim Rok Soo] decides to be somewhat truthful, “The bounty’s a bit of a surprise, there.” “Bounty?!!??” Deruth’s voice goes up two whole octaves. ““Surgeon,” “Team Leader,” “Advisor,” etcetera. Kim Rok Soo has many titles.” The current Kim Rok Soo grins a bit wryly, “In the underground, the price for the “Oracle”’s head is 100 million won.” […] “And you- you aren’t afraid? At all?” Cale* is frustrated. Why is this grown-ass man having so little sense of self-preservation? […] “Who do you think put that bounty there?” Kim Rok Soo laughs. “The reason why the “Surgeon” was so effective is because nobody knew about him before it was too late. Once the element of surprise wore off and they went to ground, though, Kim Rok Soo figured that to root out the rot, he might as well use the embarrassing title for something. […] When I take the reign, they already have this whole system set up for the inevitable assassins and their equally inevitably exposed employers! I just see no need to fix what’s not broken, that’s all!”

Me, reading this, immediately having flashback to THIS scene in chapter 533 of TCF when Cale was posing as Naru von Ejellan:

Choi Han felt the back of his neck getting cold for some reason. He subconsciously gulped and asked. “…What are you planning on doing?” Pat, pat. Cale brushed the cookie crumbs off his fingers before nonchalantly responding. “I am going to suggest at the grand assembly that we immediately attack and get rid of Cale Henituse.” ‘Hmm? What?’ The Dragon and the swordsman’s eyes opened wide.

You know.... it does sound like it isn't the first time Cale pulled this sort of thing off 😂 I mean, what better way to get rid of all potential assassins targeting you than hire them yourself and set them up to fail??🤣

Thanks a lot for the headcanon, @messy-haired-bum! I absolutely 100% believe this was the case: KRS set up his own bounty in Korea and got rid of all the assassins stupid enough to sign up for it 👏

which character from either of your webtoons were the most challenging to design?

Bugtopia: Cale, don't have his design on hand (too many spoilers) but it was AGONIZING redesigning him. particularly picking out his clothing. he originally had tattered clothes based on his canvas design, but I realized that this is New Cale and he'd dress differently. he's still difficult for me to draw for some reason

Monsters and Girls: Ciel. Literally took me half a year to figure out his design. This asshole bird was a nightmare to figure out, because I dont like using more than white, black and gold for my angel designs (keeps it cohesive), as well as me having a personal vendetta against drawing bird characters (nothing serious, I just cant make their beaks and feet look good). I'll likely redesign his leg colors in the future.

she's so real

Mama Jour can't handle the cuteness

You guys ever think about how funny it is that the whole reason why Cale did not have try at all to impersonate the original Cale, was because no one actually knew anything about him, despite the fact that everybody knew about him? On an international scale, even??

Cale: (doing an absolutely terrible job at being trash) Everybody else: That doesn't sound right, but I don't know enough about Cale Henituse to dispute it
