Chapter Text
Guys, let's just say that Cale, after fucked up the hunters, get that sweet, sweet ancient powers upgrades, scamming & raiding the world's, giving the finger to the gods, hooking up with slackerlife-nim workaholic-unnie, get the kids the civilized education they deserves, getting the benefits of having super duper out of the world connections with his companions and inevitably becoming the zenith of business empires under the great and mighty name of: Bob™, have 100+ franchise under his name (or the Henituse), and working under the sun harvesting crops according to the wills of his hyungs.
Ah, I want to see showbiz Cale.
In advance, Cale, I apologise. Let me make your relationship with workaholic-unnie even stronger… *quietly calling profesional matchmakers…*
By the way, Cale Henituse…Henituse, aren't your surname is too fantasy-like?
I have a hard time choosing which country to use as part of his disguise, that name doesn't sound ordinary isn't it? I think it's like having someone with the surname Mackintosh or Rothschild amongst us commoners…
So! Cale's maternal family: Thames. That's like… the name of a river in England…but they are redheads, also, the very mysterious disappearance of this particular powerful Baron family, uh huh. UHH, can't I just make them from old Irish noble family that migrate to other countries in the olde days?
“Many Irish noble and chieftain families moved to other countries, particularly to mainland Europe like Spain, France, Austria, and Portugal, often due to religious or political conflicts from the 16th century onwards.” ~g*ogle.
Haha, looking at the style of the Henituse mansion in the manwha, definitely not Spain or Portugal. We don't talk about Brunoooo-🎵 wait Enchanto settings is in Columbia.
My bad.
So… idk? Austria, France? But looking at Cale, who got a sudden f*cking mission out of nowhere, I bet he wants his background in this idol survival mission to be as obscure as possible, so like… a really really obscure country where most Korean citizen haven't heard or didn't know much. (Author’s notes after editing: ah, if you want to know, read more below… so much for quiet countries… 😦🙃)
#Author’s notes: please don't get offended by my choice of words or my opinion! I'm not that knowledgeable, and I know things about races, and nationalities may be sensitive to some people. AGAIN, I just want to pick hard to relate countries as our beloved Cale’s background so later his fans couldn't dig his identity’s past easily. Hmm, I think countries where the hallyu wave or K-pop craze haven't reach yet, plus point if the language is so much different than Korean or English (so that most people couldn't dig in far hehe *Let's forget g*ogle translate for a hot 10 minutes…*)…what do you think?#
Like… European countries that are relatively calm & quite… really, pretty much everyone knows about countries like USA, France, Italy, UK because there's so much noise from that side… but like, Estonia? Malta? (Hmm, I have a friend from Malta…).
But guys!! Like…Aren't the Henituse’s known for being a major producer of marble?? The territory is also famous for producing the continent's finest wines!
So Italy?? DAYUM!
I'm confusion! (ミ●﹏☉)ミ?
Hmm…Guys, no matter, let's make it work! I may look like I'm being too nitpicky for this matter, but I really love the details bringing Cale's super extraordinaire tendencies to make people misunderstand almost everything there is about him. #CaleGodofMisunderstading. #CaleBlessedbytheEntertainmentGod.
Final choice *Drumroll please...dumdumdum..!*: Thames Baron family from France and Henituse Duchy family from Italy! Hooray! 👏 🎉 🥳
Bcos/reasons:
“ Stereotypical Character Traits of French People: hopelessly romantic, elegant, stuck up, intelligent and scholarly, very proud.” ~g*ogle. (For Thames)
“Typically, Austrian people enjoy artistic talents such as music and craftsmanship and value deep and meaningful conversation rather than shallow small talk. They tend to be conservative in nature and prefer to keep their behavior moderate. That said, being friendly and neighborly is an important value in Austria.” ~g*ogle. (Yo?? Doesn't this reminds you of Violan? Btw, before marrying Deruth, she's a merchant fyi.)
“Italians tend to be expressive and talkative (hmm, Deruth, idk about that…), often using animated gestures and standing close while talking 🤌🤌. They are generally known for placing a high value on family, with close-knit relationships (hmmm…) and a strong connection to their mothers (mamaaa uoohhh~ 🎶 *insert bohemian rhapsody* btw, Og!Cale everyone??). Many also have a strong appreciation for fashion, taking care to dress well, and a deep cultural appreciation for food. (Ah, now Cale like tendencies appear… *Face is fashion! ~ Cale…probably.* & Also Mr beef, chicken, pork Cale.)“ ~g*ogle. (For Henituse)
Italy shares its northern border with Austria to the east and France to the west, along the Alps mountain range. There are forests around the Alps mountain range, which extends through several countries including Italy, France, and Austria.
“Despite the fact that this territory is surrounded by mountains, merchants still travel the undeveloped region to pursue the renowned products manufactured by the Henituse territory: wine and marble. The Henituse territory counts as the 5th top producer of marble, and widely celebrated as the finest winemakers in the entire continent.” ~ fandom wiki.
[Author's rambling notes: Guys?? This is literally so perfect??? Mountains? Forest??
Forest of Darkness? Forest of Darkness!
Hoorayyyy! 🥳🎉🍾]
“There is no reason to be recorded in history. Live for peace and happiness instead” ~ Henituse family’s ninja way.
"Anni, amori e bicchieri di vino, nun se contano mai," which translates to "Years, lovers, and glasses of wine; these things must never be counted," ~ Italian proverb suggesting a focus on enjoying life rather than counting its years…
You know what? Close enough. *Insert Ryan & Shane meme: I connected the dots.*
Btw, of course it's only for background purposes, in modern days showbiz fic im plotting, both Thames & Henituse noble family didn't have any ruling power, so like, the prestige are recorded in history, but you really have to dig in the web. Like in the novel, I want the Henituse to life quitely (hmm, as quite as whatever happening in the novel before Cale goes Apesh*t flipping mountains, seas, arms and middle fingers anyway…).
So! Geographical dust bunnies completed! Lemme comment (aka. planning/plotting) about what the f*ck GoD do to Cale in my story next.
