I CANT WITH THIS CHAPTER HEELLOOO I’m dying between this urge to draw every single scene out and my absolute lack of time and art skills ssnsksksljfhfkfk but here are some smol Cale Mary Vic AND BABY THUGHABEN LMAOOOOO goldy gramps with his shiny anger issues I’m dying 😭😭😭😭😭😭

Apparently there isn’t much news coverage of this outside of the islands

Towns are flooded, homes destroyed and collapsed, roads collapsed, lives at risk, gas leaks from the flood damage

Haleiwa and Waialua are currently evacuated because the 120 year old dam is at risk of bursting

Mind you that damn is owned by Dole. Theyve known about it needing to be fixed for years and years and years. Despite having more than enough money they refuse

The state has been trying to buy it out from them for years so they can fix it, but the sale hasn’t gone through

Keep in mind that the Dole family were the ones who illegally imprisoned Queen Liliuʻokalani and illegally overthrew the monarchy.

If I see another goddamn person say how sad this is for the tourists whose “trips were ruined” and compare a messed up vacation to people losing their homes, belongings, and livelihoods, I’m going to lose my mind

I am so lucky that my family or friend’s are safe and the few whose houses flooded didnt have it too bad, but so so so many were not as fortunate

If you haven’t heard anything about this until now, I suggest looking into it

The sirens didn’t go off until the flood had been going on for hours. Our state government is spending so much money on a fucking monorail we don’t need rather than fixing the infrastructure.

It’s been the locals and Kanaka doing the most to help get people to safety from the start

I don’t really know how to end this

I just need to know people are aware

The reblog chain is one of the things that makes Tumblr unlike anywhere else. All the notes on reblogs are attributed to the original post, no matter which branch people actually liked or reblogged. We want to keep encouraging conversations, and give contributors the recognition they deserve. 

Soon, you'll be able to like, reblog, or reply to any part of a reblog chain, and that note will go to that reblog's author. Each reblog will have its own counts, instead of one aggregated number from every version of the post. And yes, you’ll be able to like multiple posts in one chain.

If a reblog doesn't add anything, the love flows up to the last person in the chain who did. Your post doesn't lose notes just because people spread it quietly.

Past notes will stay on the original post — we're only changing what happens from here on out. Retroactively re-attributing all of them would be... a lot.

Do you remember that dead dragon who could see the future? (Her name was Maxisomething iirc.) Well, I didn’t think much of her bc of the short screen time she got, but I kept wondering how she could see Raon coming to look for her in the future, despite having died hundreds of years prior, since, like Cale, I assumed it was something that ‘wasn’t supposed to happen’ in the future, as Raon should have been dead as per tboah’s fate.

I thought it was a plot hole back then, or maybe something that would be revealed later, but when I gave it more thought.. I think the answer was there all along. She could see the future where Raon came to reach out to her precisely because it is the future that was meant to happen. Lcf is a timeline that had always been ‘meant to be.’ Like, Yes, Og!Cale did reverse back time. Kim Rok Soo did replace Og!Cale. But what if all of that were not variables, and all had been already written in the course of fate?

Kim Rok Soo was not, in fact, supposed to die, because Choi Jung Soo (as he did mention in later chapters) would always chose to die in place of Kim Rok Soo, time and time again, despite how painful it was. There was no other future than the future where Kim Rok Soo survived. That also makes it inevitable for Kim Rok Soo to get yeeted to nameless 1 in one way or another in place of Jung soo, who gave up on his chance to survive and get isekai-ed to save his friend. (ok kill me now) - And all in the end leads to one point: Kim Rok Soo and Cale swapping places, and Cale saving Raon from the fate the dragon had once suffered, the fate that was not meant to repeat again.
