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 👏

Actually, I'm still pissed

#E8 #izzy hands #ofmd s2 #Today I'm pissed because if I was to rewatch the show I'll know that all this beautiful growth ends like this #I think there isn't an argument that would persuade me it's not depressing #Really #Just because it could be a good choice story wise or symbolically etc #I'd still be pissed #That a show that healed my depression and gave me hope just suddenly lost that #In an instant #The fact that I was analyzing this show so intensely recently made me develop a habit of reaching themes metaphors and all that #And it makes it impossible for my trained brain to just ignore how this episode recontextualized everything

Eddie when he first meets Tommy: Tommy is such a great guy. We are having so much fun doing normal bro stuff.

Eddie, after he learns Tommy is dating Buck: What do we really know about Tommy? We should get Athena to do a background check on him. Cap, you should ask Athena to do that. What if he is hiding some deep dark past? And isn't he too old for Buck? Does he want kids? Does Tommy seem too tall for Buck? Would Tommy make Buck his kids' guardian if he had kids?

walking into Chifuyu’s pet shop in a little sundress and watching all three of them attempt to service you and chat you up hehe

Kazutora is a bit on the shy side, can’t meet your eyes very well and wants to show you all the cute animals. Lets you pet them and blushes when you smile and coo

Baji is tsundere/a bit cold but he doesn’t leave you alone, eyes you up when you’re turned away and does things like leans against the counter or shelf and when he talks and makes sure his biceps are flexed

Chifuyu used the fact he owns the place and is the boss to his advantage. he’s soooo cute and a little bumbling, rubs the back of his neck while talking to you and showing you around the store for what you want, unfortunately cannot stop glancing at your lips while you talk

aww 🥺 they’re all trying to help while simultaneously trying to impress you. they think you don’t notice but you find it cute the way they are!!

#if baji did that in front of me #he’s getting fucked #instantly #IN AN INSTANT #seraph.replies! #gray.dreams! #hi gray!

New chapter dropped, and I think I might have fucked up?

What to do when your character took over the plot and basically threatens to potentially ruin your entire premises???

Like, I genuinely don't know where to go from now on??? I'm pretty sure I geared my fic towards angst, but how do I do angst when everyone and their mother knows I've been overthrown???

Because somehow, in just one move, I have been usurped from my position as the author and the arbitrare of everything in my own fic.

Guys, I cannot control my own fic anymore. HELP.

I hope you're fucking happy, you rebel.

Yes, you know who you are. You fucking gremlin.

#code: realize #code realize wintertide miracles #code realize victor frankenstein #this was such an interesting exchange #sometimes i've wondered why it was Idea chose victor as the most suitable to be an apostle out of all the gang as opposed to #someone like van #but i think when victor puts his mind to something #he can go from 0 to 100 easily #the fact that he can go from wide eyed cinnamon roll to sharp eyed determinator #in an instant #is probably one of my favourite aspects of his character #wm playthrough

it’s always going to be a part of who they are; falling in and out of the shadows on a moments notice, only to pop back up again ( usually ) unannounced. but billy --------- he’s always had more of the showman in him than she does; a flair for the dramatic that’s always proved at the very least thoroughly entertaining ( or completely maddening; depends on which end of the show you happen to be on ). so when it comes time for him to make an entrance, he does it in a way that no one else can ever hope to compare to.

or maybe he just does this with her because he knows no matter how long it’s been since the last time she got to have him this close ----- so long as he’s not showing up covered in blood and looking as if he’s been dragged through a hedge backwards ----- most ( not all; but most ) is forgiven in the time it takes for him to curl the corner of his mouth up into one of those devilish grins and her to hook her fingers around the fabric of his shirt.

( it almost makes her regret ever telling @huntsupe​ just how partial she is to that expression in particular; how it only instigates and encourages her to rise to the occasion ------ but what better way to convince him to keep it in his repertoire than to outright give it her unique stamp of approval time after time? ) this time, that stamp comes in the form of a kiss against that smirk before he can get so much as a word out. ‘trick or treat. miss me, love?'

quite the choice he’s gone and given her, especially with no prior warning. 

            “i know better than to try a trick with you i think,” and while she’s keen on maybe taking her time weighing her options and drawing out this part of their reunion ( another kiss certainly helps those wheels in her brain continue to turn; at least that’s what she’ll insist if he has the cheek to question her methods later on ), the answer feels a little more obvious than perhaps he likes to think it is. “but a treat ----” and a gentle tug at the collar of his coat to help the both of them along, “pretty sure i can come up with one of those easily enough.”

"it's not queer fiction unless the queerness is explicitly declared in the text according to currently accepted terminology and in a way that meets the approval of the entire audience" I mean follow your heart I guess but I trust myself as a queer person to recognise queer themes

why is religious Christmas imagery all so joyful and pleasant? where is the inherent horror of the birth of Christ? A mother is handed her newborn child, wailing and innocent. Her hands come away sticky. Red. Simply by giving her son life she has already killed him. He is doomed from the beginning. Her love will not save him from suffering. Because the thing cradled in her arms is not a baby, it is a sacrifice: born amongst the other bleating animals whose blood will one day be spilled in the name of what demands it. the night is silent with anticipation. Mary, did you know? That your womb was also a grave?

#instant conversation enders for my multiple youth pastor cousins #don’t say it (I’m gonna say it) #The Child is The Price #but i mean come on #as someone who isn't actually even christian the real-life historical version of this is still cursed as fuck #i mean we know that jesus was a person who existed. whatever circumstances he was born in #its terrifyingly ominous to imagine being so unaware of the affect your child will have on the future of humanity #time itself will one day be counted around your birth of him #and all because he will suffer an excruciatingly painful death that you will not be able to prevent #not only that. but regardless of his or your intentions #regardless of whether there is a god #for millenea unfathomable millions will have blood spilled and will spill blood in his name #atrocities will be committed that you cannot even conceive of #and all on his and your behalf #you love your child. its beautiful. but there's horror in what you've done. because everyone else will love him too #and what's more dangerous than that?
