Optimal Reading Order for Caleb's Storyline (with an infographic)

SO! I HAVE COLLECTED ALL THE CARDS AND HERE IS MY THEORIZED TIMELINE FOR PRESENT DAY CALEB! TRUST ME, WHEN READ IN ORDER THIS SHIT HITS SO HARD. CALEB'S WRITING TEAM INHALED SOMETHING AND I WANT WHAT THEY HAD.

If you want me to do an analysis for the Past Caleb Cards too, we will have to wait until 10 Days With You ends, but pls let me know because I've already pieced those together too. I'd also do this with the other boys but it is MUCH harder due to there being less indication and less tells (InFold, please do what Tears of Themis is doing where they put the stuff in order in one of their CN updates plsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsplsPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLS)

MILD SPOILERS (and by mild I mean I just noted vague points in time that allowed me to pinpoint where they were in the timeline + relationship progress you're not really getting spoiled but some ppl wanna go in completely blind and that's perfectly understandable!)

Caleb's Past - Old Days

Caleb's Present - Homecoming Wings and Beyond

Main Story - Yeah no duh. Caleb is basically a stranger here, and we're at square one.

Endless Summer - The card references it had been 2 weeks since she last saw Caleb in Skyhaven. They're awkward here.

Exclusive Aftercare - This is when MC starts letting Caleb more back into her life. This comes in between ES and Myth because of Caleb still trying to keep distance, distance that isn't all there in...

Myth - First time MC visits Skyhaven after the Main Story. She is on better terms with Caleb and their relationship makes so much progress here.

Hidden Waves - MC visits Caleb's home in Skyhaven. It's obvious they're now starting to repair what they lost.

Painful Signal - Hidden Waves is referenced here, and obvious revelations are obvious. Also, Gideon!

EXTRA NOTE: Canonically, by this point in the timeline, MC is at least Affinity Level 30 here due to Gideon's appearance in Caleb's Moments. There is also a very, VERY noticeable shift in his calls and texts and how MC starts replying to him after this, implying they definitely made progress. She was seemingly more off with him, as was he in expressing his desires, but once we pass this threshold, he starts voicing his affections more openly for MC, with her also starting to call out to him more.

Intertwined Gold - I cannot stress enough that this actually acts as a beautiful resolution to this little arc. I mean it so much. Their past already acted as their time to let things fester, and this is just... *sniffle* oh my god, it's beautiful.

I felt like I watched an entire TV Drama when reading through the cards in this order. Please read it in this order for optimal experience because you genuinely get to see the growth Caleb and MC get to have in this weird situation where they're adults trying to figure each other and their feelings out. I am a Sylus girlie (I KNOW I HAVEN'T MADE ENOUGH STUFF FOR HIM SO IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE IT, SHUT UP, I THIRST FOR HIM IN PRIVATE, IT COUNTS) but even I have to admit, this shit? Fire. Actual fire. Caleb's writing team is beautiful, and I hope they have good things happen to them.

...also BEG INFOLD TO MAKE A FUNCTION WHERE WE CAN LIST MEMORIES IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER, THIS HIT SO HARD AND I WAS LUCKY I GUESSED RIGHT FOR MOST OF THE MEMORIES THE ONLY ONES I FUCKED UP WAS HIDDEN WAVES COMING AFTER MYTH, BUT ITS OK--

EDIT: I MADE AN INFOGRAPHIC WITH MY SISTER!!! YAY

EDIT 2: added the four stars!!! Gonna make an infographic on these laterrrrrr

Saw this trend going around and wanted to join in 🤭

[kystarlight17]

Alright so can we talk about the Rafayel to Caleb girlie pipeline because I’m seeing something interesting

I feel like a lot of Rafayel girlies are so into Caleb right now. Like I saw a lot of us posting about Gege and discussing about his storyline more than other girlie does.

What is with us here? 😂

I saw the post talking about Caleb is for the only-child/ or oldest child who grow up ALONE and I was like, hold on a minute. I think I cracked the code

1. We do have a type. A complex, tragic but also very passionate man. The type to not be very easy to love. But will be the most loyal& devoted to you through thick and thin

2. You need someone to heal your inner child. A part from you that never got taken care of

3. THE BANTER, they have to be a bit of playfulness from them and be able to joke about serious stuffs

4. The type to hide their emotional side behind those playful gazes bc sometimes you did that too

5. Someone who doesn’t care if you make mistakes or not be a perfect human being all the time because you have to be like that all your life

6. Someone who is a little bit intense, for some people they’re too overbearing. Someone who’s not scared to be ‘too much’ for you in terms of expressing their love bc that’s what you fear you are and you keep most of your emotions to yourself- leaning more on avoidant side

7. The howl in howls moving castle to Prince Zuko to Rafayel to Caleb- something like that

Now with the only child who grew up ALONE topic

As an only child, I grow up in a household where every woman in my life are living the life of “Strong, independent, girlboss” woman to the point of burning themselves on the ground. I see the cycle repeating for several generations until my own.

I grow up mostly alone, having to take care of myself in every aspects. And I mostly did it well.

But In reality, I just can’t effort to be reckless. Because if I don’t take care of myself and keep myself in check, nobody else will.

(Nobody will save me but me)

For some people the “Yandere” side of Caleb are a red-flag but for me?

to have a man care about you and taking care of you all the time? Notices about every details in your life and makes sure you never have to lift a finger?

That’s my wet dream, A fantasy.

His doting & overprotective personality healed the little girl inside me.

Same with Rafayel, being with him always heals my inner child that I never fully experience as a kid.

Both of them are so 🥺🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻

[kystarlight17]

His love wasn't less at all. He was rather totally devoted to her.

Who asks you to love me this much that made me cry

[kystarlight17]

SPOILER ALERT-CALEB'S MYTH‼️

His myth is very sad it actually make me cry for real. The amount of devotion he has and sacrifice he made just for MC drives me insane. This guy myth is just that that good(or I probably being bias rn). This guy have a chokehold in my heart. Don't get me wrong all the LI's have good myth but idk why somehow Caleb's story is more well ....relatable? Honestly I don't even know how to put it in words but I feel like Caleb is more closer to reality or something? I'm sorry but my vocabulary is limited and I'm not good in expressing the feelings. Anyway both he and MC is absolutely down bad but I think MC more like in denial lmao. I am one hundred percent sure that they kissed each other before probably under pretext or "just want to try" or practice shits

Also this is really the most heart wrenching moment I've ever seen. Bro endure so much pain and love during probably more than 20 year with MC but this girl is just too dense and oblivious.

[kystarlight17]

DO NOT LEAVE ME IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THESE TWO POSSESSIVE GUYS UNLESS YOU WANT THE EARTH’S POPULATION TO QUADRUPLE IN NUMBERS

[kystarlight17]

"oh i really love xyz character-" really? outside the context of shipping?

[kystarlight17]

One thing I find a bit annoying in lads is the fact that sometimes the LIs don’t realise how badass mc can actually be, like girl can fight she’s a hunter, yes she’s been through shit and the boys are really strong too, and mc kinda makes a complete ass out of herself sometimes but what I wanna see is them letting her take the lead on a mission or in a situation that involves fighting.

Like they see shit kick off and mc takes line and centre in a high risk situation, completely badass moment, and they just think that’s my girl and let her handle the situation

Mc isn’t helpless and in need of protection 24/7, yes it can be endearing sometimes but let mc do what she’s good at, she has trained to chase her dream of being a hunter since she was young

And I’m not just talking about Caleb, I’m talking about all of them, they can be a little overprotective at times

First Encounter ♡ Happy 1st Anniversary

[kystarlight17]

Caleb being the cause of his own possessive and manipulative tendencies is funny but also sad to me.

He wants to have you all to himself because he knows that after his staged death, you’ve belonged to the world. Nobody was tying you down, you had no one to return to anymore, nobody that you could call home anymore. But that exact same thing is what gives you so much power over him.

Because you had no choice but to get used to the loneliness. You know what it is like to lose loved ones, or at least to believe that you’ve lost someone close to you.

He knows that he needs you more than you need him, and that is why he is so desperate to win you back and convince you that you don’t need anyone else but him. Because he needs you, nobody but you.

So after having managed to narrow down the vast world around you until all that was left there was just him and you, it cuts him deep when, during an argument, you spew all his insecurities right at him. Especially so because those are simply truthful facts that he has never been proud of.

“I’ve been to hell and back for you, and with you.” The cold look in your eyes scares him, sends chills down his spine, and for a moment he doesn’t realize that he has stopped breathing. He braces himself for the inevitable, but hopes that you’re stronger than him. More compassionate than him. You’ve always been so.

“I’ve had to convince myself that I’d never see you again, Caleb. So what makes you think that I won’t be able to grieve for you a second time?”

It is only when he’s on his knees in front of you, clinging onto you as he sinks his fingers into each of your thighs and presses his forehead against your body-

With a shuddering breath, pleas falling from his trembling lips as the tears in his eyes threaten to overflow, Caleb realizes that he will never be your world.

You will be his lifeline, as much as his possible downfall. You will always have the upper hand because you know what a life without him is like while he would never even dare to imagine a world without you.

Lowkey asking if anyone has come across a fic of Caleb X MC where the fic is the couch scene continuation from the main story line.

Cause I need it like I need air (especially if it’s 🔞)

Like this couch scene 👀

[kystarlight17]

LADS developers survived the hardest computer college, only to end up coding CALEB.

[kystarlight17]

Bruh what is that supposed to mean? 😭

[kystarlight17]

I never thought I could relate to a character so much. The main reason why I was so excited for the release of Caleb was because his trope is the close childhood friend trope.

Going through the main story line and his 5 star memories (I lowkey whaled for him), it all reminded me of my own crush/love of my childhood friend that used to be my neighbour growing up together until college.

He’s happily dating a lovely girl right now and I’m happy for them (plus life happened and we don’t keep in contact much anymore, just the occasional happy birthday messages).

However growing up, I honestly grappled with my intense feelings for my childhood friend. As I was scared that confessing such feelings would ruin our relationship.

As in media that aspect is usually glossed over or perhaps used a comedic aspect. Yet in this game, there is a big focus on teetering whether to confess or not to confess. Especially in a high stakes scenario.

That’s why I can’t help but cheer Caleb on as he interacts with my MC. Kinda living vicariously through him to have his feelings returned.

Spoilers below (read if you want potential spoilers if you haven’t looked at the limited 5 star card of Caleb)

That’s why I found the whole chip aspect that Caleb has and that MC inserted herself to experience it so fascinating.

Cause suddenly I find myself agreeing with all of Caleb’s decisions to keep MC away from harm as I would do the same thing in his shoes.

I’d rather be the one with the chip and have my emotions slowly erased if it meant keeping my love from any further harm.

I’d rather trick my love or subdue my love to have the chip removed and consequently their memories of me removed if it also means keeping them from harm.

Damn didn’t mean to word vomit but after experiencing the main storyline, the myth cards and the limited 5 star card… Caleb is the most relatable character for me in this aspect.

I can’t wait for his kissing card now cause perhaps that will be a form of closure for me 😅

(My inner teenager will be healed at least)

Was vibing with a random playlist on TikTok and this song came up

This song legit gives Prince Xavier x Knight MC

Like imagine them talking about Uluru using this song.

Aaaagghhhh my heart

Follow up

I found a song that reminds me of Sylus myth card with MC 😅

[kystarlight17]

Just finished all of Sylus’ latest myth and what I find interesting is that of all the Myths and anecdotes….

(SIDE NOTE I DESPERATELY WANT TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT SYLUS ABYSS MYTH CAUSE IT WRECKED ME. Both story wise and lore wise)

MC only dies in Xavier’s story in his anecdote story

While the ML leaves MC’s life in the other Myth and anecdotes.

I wonder if this might be a significant detail in the story sometime in the future.

(Though the small section in Rafayel’s Sea God myth where MC sees a vision of Princess MC getting killed by Abysswalker Rafayel is up to debate. As just because it’s a vision doesn’t mean it came true.

To be honest the Sea God one is the biggest mystery of them all)
