#tunka

Meanwhile, live Cale reaction: 😒

I got lazy midway of drawing this TT

This art was born bc of a fic i read (which was really good)

Here is the fic :D

((Artist has no idea how to render nor do shadows so early apologies to the pros))

Just by that I can guess that English isn't your native - twinsies! 😂

But yeah, going from 툰카 (Tunka) to Toonka is super English centric. English phonetics are so messy that the 'u' alone has multiple common ways to be pronounced. 'oo' is just the closest sound they have to the korean 'u', so that is why some people opt for that one since it makes the pronunciation clear to english natives. But the standard RR would be Tunka.

I'm personally more annoyed by 'Rowoon Kingdom'. The same double 'o' but now paired with a 'w' cos the vowel transitions sometimes have an implicit glide in Korean that people tend to like to mark with a non-existant 'w'.

I hate it cos the 'w' exists neither in writing nor phonetically - hence why it's called implicit glide. It's not there. There is no 'w'. You won't find it stop looking.

I want to see their reactions.

Would they blame themselves even after KRS!Cale explains why they swapped bodies?

Would they get mad at themselves for not realizing that someone else had been in Cale's body? (especially Ron, who raised him and was the closest to him even after OG!Cale distanced himself from everyone)

Would they want to at least chat and apologize to og!Cale?

I want them to know that a whole new soul has been inside their son/brother/young master's body and they hadn't noticed at all.

“Shut up.”

‘Oh, as expected of the, ‘I do whatever I want,’ Toonka.’

Cale was impressed.

Toonka was probably the only bastard who would look down on a king and speak to him so rudely.

The king frowned at the sight while the knights placed their hands on the hilt of their swords. The king thought about how Toonka had been calmer than usual these days and started to shout.

“H-how dare you speak to me that way! Commander, are you-”

“Fighting wars is my job.”

Toonka ignored the king’s voice as he strode towards him.

Cale watched Toonka’s back as he did so.

Cale did not like Toonka.

Toonka’s disposition and actions did not mesh well with him.

However, Toonka now seemed to understand the weight of life.

Yes, Toonka had grown.

Time passed for Toonka as much as it did for Cale, and that had changed him a bit.

Toonka approached the king and continued to speak.

“We’ll win, so you just sit tight and think about your own self-preservation as you always have.”

Today was the first time that Cale liked Toonka’s actions.

The world didn’t need to be filled only with people like Adin or Alberu.

The non-mage faction. It was because leaders like Toonka existed that even weak yet crazed people could win.

Tyrants were bound to show their strength when they acted like tyrants.

If he was a tyrant that also thought of his citizens…

He said he wouldn't make relationships after getting into TBoaH world but he couldn't stop himself from getting attached to Ohn, Hong, Raon and everyone around him.
