Trash Of The Count's Family - Blog Posts

He took thinking out of the box too seriously

It truly takes someone like Cale Henituse to think of just casually teleporting the entire lair of not just a dragon but the last Dragon Lord herself into his backyard infested with monsters.

Holding aro/ace Cale Henituse and never letting him go because I can't be the only one who feels aggravated when I compliment someones appearance and everyone jokes about how I want to bang them.

I'm a firm believer he likes pretty faces not people.

___

KRS 18 y.o: she's pretty

Coworker: you like her? You need to ask her to go out!

KRS: no????

___

KRS 21 y.o: he's handsome, don't you think?

CJS: yeah, I don't know, he's not my type, you should try talk to him tho

KRS: ???why would I do that

If I had a nickel for everytime Cale erased an island off the map, I'd have two nickels... Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

And he deserved every second of it

There is no way God of Death didn't get beaten up even once by Choi Jung Soo or Lee Soo Hyuk, especially after he pulled the "Your friends' death was your fault".

So, I just imagine Choi Jung Gun either joining them or giving the broom to them like:

The way I gasped has no name

What if Team Leader Lee Soo Hyuk also had a 0% mortality rate. And that's why, when Kim Roksoo saw his teammates continue to survive despite the dangers, and continue to persistently try get him to open up to them. He thought that maybe these people will not leave. They won't die, and they won't turn away from him. So he thought it was okay to open up, it's ok to allow himself to cherish these people.

And the moment he made up his mind about it, the whole team was wiped out.

reading some cale quotes for fic purposes and i can't believe how much you can forget when you blitz through 1000+ chapters in less than two months.

like, cale curses so much. so much. i guess i didn't really internalize it since it was spread out over the whole novel, but he has such a dirty mouth and literally every time he mentions his enemies, he's cursing up a storm.

"i don't care if he's lived a thousand years or not, that shithead is a fucking bastard from now on." cale henituse, on the greatest threat of the whole part one of the novel. he's so eloquent.

i forgot how snarky his internal voice is. actually, maybe not forgot. just, kind of got used to it? until i stopped registering the absolutely sick burns he keeps dishing out on the regular.

it takes him until chapter 270 to realize that he should have just let choi han beat him up. that seems like a lot, but we've still barely reached the eastern continent. adin is still alive. cale doesn't even know who the white star is. the trouble hasn't even started.

also, at one point he actually admits to being raon, on and hong's parent??? out loud??? i can't believe i missed that, the whole dodori thing distracted me.

"raon. I’m someone who cannot forget. don't be like me." i didn't actually forget this one, but it feels like a gut punch every time i read it again.

He's the meme that says "the fact that I'm smart doesn't mean I'm not stupid" and I love him

He notices the minimum details but is the most obnoxious person on the planet.

Cale Henituse is the funniest bastard to have as an MC, he's a unreliable narrator and everyone sees it. He wants to slack off and says world peace needed first before that.

Hates cats yet adopts two and plans to make a third king, scams people constantly, the most skewed perception of how to be a trashy man. Says he isn't a good person, does things that help people constantly, justifies it saying cause he didn't have pure motives for doing it it's not a good deed so he's still a bad person. Adopts a dragon even though he said he didn't want it near him cause he'd be in the middle of crazy situations, said by the guy who puts himself in situations constantly all the time. "I don't care about this old man assassin and want him to leave as soon as possible' several chapters later when said assassin comes back hurt and dying "What the fuck i'm going to blow up an island the bastards behind this are on" Yeah he blows up an island, says 'well the ships can just sail a bit further so it can go no biggie.' Said explosion is several times bigger then it should be, cause of his chronic inability to communicate with anyone ever. Stop saying shit exclusively in your head dumbass! He coughs up blood constantly from rebound his powers cause, fails to understand why anyone is upset by this sight when he's 'fine'. Has a healing power, fails to disclose that too to anyone. "I'm weak." Says this fucking idiot, while blasting his charisma aura that makes you feel like your going to die at people who have no idea it's a buff and take it seriously. While using a giant fuck off shield to block bombs. While blasting people with a thunderbolt that can blow up a forest. He's so stupid /aff I want to bite him like a chew toy and shake some sense but we all know he'll never get any.

Hot girl shit (grown ass man)

Just another day of geeking over TCF, remembering that the generic prince charming who we got introduced to at the beginning of the story got to shoot the main villain in the face with a gun, wore PJs to the final battle because he forgot to put on armor, and became a gaming addict to the equivalent of an MMORPG/Empire Minecraft server

Cale Henituse [LCF] + wolf pupy tweets (insp)

The only inappropriate thing was him not dressing like that sooner

An intrusive thought made me write down this so:

In the extras after the first part of the novel we saw OgCale in KRS's body being like "if you don't like me fire me" and also there's a famous post of OgCale being over the top in the fashion department.

So it occurred to me, what if OgCale in KRS's body just goes around with comfortable over the top modern fashion and for his coworkers is so sudden, the guy who barely showed his face now is waking around with cargo pants and a black crop top showing his delightful worked body but most importantly with his multiple scars full on display and many coworkers thinks he finally snap and is protesting, letting everyone know who was it that fought most battles and survived with all his team no thanks to the burocrats.

Basically his new clothes are taken like a sort of "try me" statement while barely being work "appropriate".

Because he is.

I love how everybody who knows Cale Henituse either considers him wonderful, terrifying, unhinged, or all of them at once

I want that

Best use case of the Dominating Aura:

❌ Intimidate your opponents

❌Get your way in an argument

❌Scamming people in general

❌Protect yourself against Dragon Fear

❌Protect others against the Blood-Drenched Rock

✅✅✅ Avoid talking to people at social gatherings

Well, isn't this just the coolest thing

Had the sudden urge to draw a 40-year-old battle torn, world weary Og! Cale.

No matter which age they serve!!!

Me thinking about how Kim Roksoo couldn’t keep any friends throughout his school year because of the curse from the GoD. Always leaving him no matter how hard he tried to keep them.

Also thinking about how Lee Soohyuk and Choi Jungsoo also probably introduced him to basic things friends do for each other.

KRS staying in the office finishing up paper work - or whatever he did in the office while under LSH - instead of going to lunch with his teammates. CHS waiting for him to finish up even if it take him 30mins before he’s ready. Then going to lunch with him late.

Or showing up to a company dinner with all the seats full at the restaurant. Him thinking about turning around and going home only to find out LSH especially made sure a seat was saved for him even if that caused conflict elsewhere.

I can imagine him feeling all ‘warm and fuzzy’ inside. Being confused with why they were doing these things for him. (Despite ‘those things’ being basic things all people would do with their friends)

The GoD’s curse is so unimaginably cruel even diluted. It also puts into perspective how tough it must have been for KRS after LSH and CJS died. Thinking about the Soo dynamic from when they were together on EARTH 1 always makes me sad.

What a way to make someone cry

home

That's why my man is out there saying shit like "I Don't really care about these people" and then fixing (destroying) every problem they ever encounter

Plausible deniability, if he didn't say he cared about them or even admitted it to himself, they wouldn't die (?

thinking about how everyone who ever cared about kim rok soo would disappear from his life

and how he started to keep a distance from the people who cared about him

perhaps, in the attempt, that they might stay

and the people who managed to crack open his shell

died in front of him

Reasons Cale Henituse is the funniest motherfucker:

*People cheering for him in the streets* Hm. Don’t like that.

His self-proclaimed speciality is just disassociating on command

Someone: *helps him* Cale: *sighs* I guess I have to solve every problem you’ve ever had

When learning a language, memorised all the swear words before anything else

“I don’t like cats,” says Cale, holding two kittens tenderly, plotting a rebellion to instate a third cat as the new emperor

Single father of *checks notes* uh… 3 to 14 children,

All he wants is to retire to the country; can’t stop getting into international incidents

His relationship with the crown prince is basically: *points at each other* Bastard

Keeps telling people not to trust him while saving their asses from certain destruction

This loser thinks he’s ‘quiet’ and ‘good at keeping still’

Cale: *smiles gently* Everyone: oh god stop What the Fuck

‘Accidental Baby Acquisition’ trope but it’s ‘Accidental Family Acquisition’ and they’re all agents of chaos

“I heard you got hurt,” says a concerned child. “Yes, I coughed up blood.” Cale comforts, comfortingly.

[Girl hits on him] No thanks [Guy hits on him] No thanks

Everyone: you’re a good person Cale: incomprehensible, have a terrible day

Named his adopted son, a dragon, ‘Dragon’

Tells people to drink tea before pulling out something that will make them spray it everywhere like a cartoon

*to a 13 year old* No you can’t train to become a knight you’re too young *to a 5 year old* Alright tonight we’re gonna blow up an island and participate in the slaughter of half a race make sure to protect me well

His entire fucking backstory, like what? What???

Raon: I’ve only had this human for an hour and a half but if anything happened to him I would kill everyone on this continent and then myself Cale: That’s terrifying please stop talking

Never thinks, at any point, to tell anyone that he has a healing power 

He’s THE most extra bitch. Orchestrates his b&e’s like he’s conducting an opera, always plans for maximum Dramatic Effect

*The crown prince doesn’t help in a terror incident* That’s fine because he’s weak. *Finds out he’s strong actually* Bastard??????

Gives his kids an extravagant allowance. Doesn’t let them spend it and buys everything for them instead

‘I should have just got beaten up’, Cale thinks, war waging around him. ‘That would be far less annoying.’

Alberu, looking at the people Cale gathered: I didn't know we had so many strong allies.

Cale: Wait till you see the dragons

Alberu: What?

Cale: What

SO ACCURATE IM CRYING

Tcf texposts (because I'm procrastinating on my assignments and I have Adobe illustrator privileges)

That's why he selfishly saved them yk yk

Cale says he is a bad person, a selfish, stone cold bastard because he spent at least 10 years believing the words he heard on his team funeral and after it.

And he had nobody to say the opposite, nobody who knew him, who cared about him. To prove them wrong, to insist that they are the actual bastards without heart for saying that to a mourning person.

He was alone, terrified of getting close to people again, and thinking that the deaths of his family was all his fault. Of course he thinks he is a bad person.

For him, people that don't protect their family are trash, so he is the worst human being that ever put a foot on the planet.

Cale: I don't like these people *sacrifice himself for them* I don't care about this kingdom *saves it* I hate this drink *drinks it because his butler gave it to him* I'm a bad person *would die for people he didn't know*

Cale: I want a slacker life.

Cale: But to have a peaceful life, my family needs to have a peaceful life as well, and we need to live in a peaceful world too to not be bothered by anyone.

Cale: So let’s achieve world peace.

Cale: Then let’s do multiverse world peace because other worlds could also bother us and for an unknown reason I HAVE to be the one who does it instead of sending my subordinates and lazing around.

Cale: And while striving for world peace, something that nobody has been able to achieve so far, I’ll complain that I don’t want to work and say I’m weak.

Cale: Ah, I’m weak. *killing the strongest villain who tried to become god*

Cale: I want a slacker life. *trying to achieve world peace and working more than anyone else*

Cale: Sigh…

Reader: Sigh…

KRS!Cale(probably): I totally did save those people for my evil trash-like plans and nothing more. Their life means nothing but a brick for me to accomplish my selfish schemes.

Krs!Cale (probably): I adopted three children, saved and inspired others and the world at the expense of my own health several times to the point where I tried to sacrifice myself and I'm in the process of saving the multiverse....selfishly.

I love them, we love a supportive father and his children

I love how this one panel unironically shows their entire dynamic throughout the series

Just a proud dad and his overpowered Dragon toddler

Every enemy's POV ever when they fuck with Cale's slacker plan

week’s dump

KRS and Cale just assume every teenager acts like their brother because that's the only exposure to 18 year olds in their life.

KRS: life is meaningless, so we should enjoy every second by saving money and taking naps (too old to party, he wants to retire already)

Cale: understandable, I have a nice day (He outgrew his partying and getting black out drunk)

___

Cale: life is too short to argue with your family, you need to spend every second showing them affection and how much you care about them (he didn't get to live with his family after his rebellious phase)

KRS: yeah (existing in the same room as his family every day even if they don't interact, because that's how family works????)

I like the idea of a twins au solely for one reason.

People looking at KRS (36 inside) (18 outside) and being like "is this kid really 18?"

Then looking at (og) Cale henituse (40 inside) (18 outside) and being like "ARE KIDS JUST LIKE THIS THESE DAYS???”

Then looking at literally any other young adult and being like "oh...is it a henituse thing?"

Before I even start reading and reviewing the book... I have to adress something:

Whoever did the description on the back did an amazing job.

I really love how it's worded, the way it's introducing the premise of the story; yes it's magic isekai fantasy with action and heroism, but most of all irony. This story is, in large part, a comedy built upon pure irony. And those words?

"sometimes the best heroes are the ones who resist the call"

It's the PERFECT way to describe Cale.

Really, I couldn't have done it any better. Good job! 👍

It's a work on progress. I'm really tired, maybe I finish it later

This is amazing, a masterpiece, one of the greatest pieces of art my eyes ever encountered, the light of my day, the stars in my eyes. I have been blessed, thank you, I can live happily ever after.

OHRweek Day 7: Free

The perfect cue for me to draw my favorite father and children in my favorite season’s colors.

I’ve made up my mind to fill in the rest of the challenge, wish me luck, guyssss!
