lately there are too many fics that obsess over Og cale's backstory and make it so different from canon that it's actually jarring.

Suddenly I barely see tags of KRS Cale-the actual protagonist, and more of OG Cale regressing and raging and a bunch of projected angst about the Henituse family and Ron. I respect that writers should write what they want, but why has the focus suddenly shifted so much, I'm just curious about that if anyone knows.

I feel like Cale has so much substance, and the relationships, plot and family are all tied to him, so how can you delete him from the story and suddenly all of his loved ones are OG Cale's? This simply doesn't make any sense. Cale and OG Cale are fundamentally different people, they did not have the same childhood, although both have been in conflicts and war, you can't swap Cale's personality into OG Cale either. And so many fics of them being siblings, I feel like there's just no new content T-T

I LOVE OG Cale when they write him as his canon self...except that ppl don't do this anymore.

Has anyone else noticed this or just me? just wanna know your thoughts.

It's like that meme of the miner giving up just inches before he discovers the diamonds. I feel like people need to give this story a chance and have the patience for it to build up. The author took a lot of care in setting things up for a much larger story, rather than a fast angsty speedrun and I promise ITS SO WORTH IT. The characters develop, the emotions develop, all the plots tie together and every tiny detail is foreshadowing for something much greater and more delicious. And the lack of romance makes all the other character interactions more fleshed out and enjoyable.

And while part 2 may seem hectic...it gets better, I can't spoil anything but HOLY please my fellow readers stick with the story it is so good.

I fear this is the wrong place to post to, but thank you for listening to my ted talk.
