Cale03henituse

Goddamn when u open ur notifications ur going to be bombarded. Im going to shut up until u come back and I can check ur okay with thus

concept of cale going into a toxic relationship, not necessarily romantic or sexual, and his family not knowing how to talk about it. like yes, he should depend on people….. but why them???? Yes, you do deserve to ask for things, but why them?????? If we tell him to cut them off then he might take that to cut everyone off

You want me to go with u? Im going to be annoying. I wont just tone it down. Okay? Were not friends rok soo.
          
          I know you will be.
          
          The..then?
          
          I want you there anyway.

I think someone in cales family is the absolute worst with kids. Like amazing intentions (they wouldnt be cales family if they weren't) shit execution.
          
          Maybe Jack.
          
          Theyre the one that find him as a baby. They almost kill him like immediately.

A ghost that travels through memories, and vengeful tries to make everything worse finds itself in the library that is cales head

I think cale goes to lock's first parent-teacher interview. With every glowing praise not only of his grades, but his character and his ability to make himself grow instead of shrink away from responsibilities. Cale Henituse is a man who takes great pride in how his children do, no matter what it is - unless its annoying. So hes praising lock to any willing ear, muxh to locks embarrassment.
          
          "Omg stop please cale nim."
          
          "Why? We're so proud of u. A 99 in home economics? Beacrox would cry tears of gold."
          
          "DAD STOP EMBARRASSING ME." the world pauses. Lock doesn't realise it. Cale very much does. 
          
          "....i am?" > referring to the dad comment 
          
          "Yes... dont act like you didnt know." >Talking abt the embarrassment. 
          
          Cale faces lock.
          
          "I didnt know. Im sorry for being oblivious to your feelings. I'll do better to be worthy of such a title." Cale pats his shoulders, and although lock knows something is wrong with the conversation he isn't able to get the words out. Because there is an expression on his face lock had never seen before, let alone directed at him. His tone was serious but his eyes stone with pride, a sense of responsibility, and gratitude. Lock wants to tell him not to, why would he want him to live up to embarssibg him?? But cale goes up on his tiptoes, and lock bows down instinctively and cale presses a momentary kiss on his fringe. Locks eyes shoot open and hes genuinely frozen in shock. His tail wags and his face turns red like he did when he was new to the manor. 
          
          "I will try my best to be a good dad to you." Cale's sincere. Locks mouth flounders like a dead fish. "Goodnight lock. Sleep well."
          
          The whole manor watches cale go to his room, only turning at his door to wave once more. They watch the grin break out onto his face. Lock doesn't get it still, and his mind is spinning from shock, embarrassment, and a little tiny bit of IMMENSE JOY !!
          
          Han manages to explain later, through his fits and outbursts of laughter. Lock is a tomato. Cale is oblivious.

totcf, but his ap makes things worse. they’re toxic, intrusive thought machines, but they beg and plead and wear down cale’s walls when he considers fully absorbing them. he is tired all the time because of them. vitality only does half his job, and slowly gets cale addicted to the feeling of normalcy/being okay. (this could include the cale was/is now going through chronic pain hc) dominating water ties him down to her, whispering how they don’t understand him like she does. super earth threatens to let harm come his family’s way if he absorbs him. cheapskate insult and degrade him, picking at his insecurities - forces him to focus on making money and money only. glutton is loud and constant and makes cale a frustrated man, often snapping at people. and his family’s flinching and unwillingness to talk to him, not understanding what hes going through.
          
          it only adds to the fire

evil cale using alberu as a puppet solely to embarass him and lose all his credibility, before making it seem like alberu is fighting it off, showing up and taunting the nobles - but panting and sweaty so it looks like he actually did have to struggle with controlling alberu

that obsession song. you call it stalking, i call it walking - yk the one. or ull find it if u search up that lyric. 
          
          the feminine voice belongs to alberu in this. hes the silent support, signing paper and researching cale. obsessing. choi han however, is the physical stalker type. they both want cale in this (i guess they’re not sworn siblings, and they dont know abt the whole uncle-nephew thing with cjs - or they do have these things but cale has too much faith in them being good people he doesn’t eben consider it) 
          
          the lyric “ive alr got your heart” > they both tear through cale’s chest and ribs, the blinded groom, and crush the heart between their hands. yes they’re holding hands now. 
          
          …ya

yk that one song that goes “i could be your girl-girl-girl. But would you love me if I ruled the world?”
          
          so. what if each girl is like a subtly genderbent version of all of Cale’s obsessed villains. Clopeh, WS, Adin (i believe he is one). they’re trying to seduce him. its unclear whether its because they are attracted to him or to manipulate him
