Dive Deep into Creativity: Your Ultimate Tumblr Experience Awaits
I don't know if I like it or not, but at least now I can stop dying of frustration every time I read "Alver" (￣▽￣)
I've had this HC for maybe over 2 years now n I've never heard of anyone talking about it here so:
I've always called Alberu Alberu in my head but when I read the manhua, it changed his name to alver so I made this up in my mind to make sense of that.
Alver: name he uses in public, this is what he goes by when he's doing prince stuff. It's formal and it's probably what his father/brothers refer to him as
Alberu: name he uses almost exclusively when he's in his bark elf from. It's the name his mother gave him at birth. I'd imagine this being the name the people closest to him call him! (Like cale, Tasha, choi Han ect.)
Got this because so many people around me have a name in their traditional language and another English name, so it just got stuck in my mind lol
I feel that if this were to happen, the Henituse family would realize that Cale doesn’t think of himself as part of the family. I believe that even in canon, he had trouble accepting the Henituse family as his own, at least initially (which might be contradicted by Cale’s thoughts during his first encounter with Venion, but let a girl dream (ᵔ.ᵔ)).
The Henituse family could have quite interesting reactions if Hans ever informed them about the diary.
Lily might feel guilty and sad, somehow implying that her Oraboni is not part of the family, and she would try to change her way of thinking by spending more time with him.
Basen might feel guilty, thinking he’s replacing his Hyung-Nim, even though we know it’s not true. He would try to convince Cale to accept the heir position and distance himself, possibly no longer “bothering” him.
Violan, similarly, would feel guilty, being seen as a replacement for Jour. Instead of continuing to distance herself to allow him peaceful mourning time, she would try to spend more time with him to improve their relationship.
And Deruth would feel terrible; from Cale’s perspective, it might seem like he’s replacing Jour and Cale with Violan and Basen. Deruth’s distancing and problem-solving approach didn’t help either. In a brave moment, he would probably try to go to Cale and apologize for everything.
One of the things that has also been in my head for a while is Cale having a journal.
Like- Cale starts a journal when he realizes that he's going to be a lot more involved in the novel's events than intended so to make room for new records he writes things down
When it's songs that he liked as Krs, he'd scrapbook a background and write them down
He'd also add artwork on some pages and has art of people. Like Choi han training, Ron with the lemonaid, Alberu doing whatever- he'd do a bunch of profiles for each person or maybe just have a separate book for that all together-
Cale doesn't really let others see either book, just changing the topic when it comes up. Everyone eventually learns not to ask.
Would be very interesting if there was a connection with Og!Cale and Krs where krs!Cale began to dream about some of og!Cale's memories
After a particularly bad memory, Cale is more closed off towards Deruth and Deruth doesn't know what he did wrong.
Cale obviously puts something about this in his journal
In honor of og!cale, he makes a drawing of his mother and him and doesn't use the 'Henituse' last name, he uses 'Thames'
The thing that Cale has learned about the original Cale is that he's never really felt like he belonged with Violian and Deruth. Always feeling like he was intruding.
So for plot convenience, Cale is called by the crown prince in the middle of writing and leaves the book out in the open.
Hans, who's been assigned to clean Cale's room, See's a book that has no cover or title or anything and opens it out of curiosity.
Hans sees a few drawings of the kids and naturally is excited because 1- Cale can draw really well, and 2- He loves cats.
Then he keeps going through the book, looking through drawings of him, Ron, Choi han, and- the Henituse family with Cale not in the portrait.
Hans is confused. (Deep down, he knows exactly what this implies)
He assumes that the drawing isn't finished (it's already been signed) and closes the book with shakey hands. Maybe the Count doesn't need to know about this-
Except when he comes back next week, the drawing hasn't changed.
Huh.

Just posting my drafts now- honestly I do really like this idea, maybe I'll write something to go along with it later?
I should start making the second parts of things I've already posted lmao-
