Literally insane to me how small the general webtoon fandom is outside of the webtoon app itself (and maybe reddit??)

I've talked to multiple people irl who LOVE reading webtoon, but the online community is borderline threadbare ! Most people on Tumblr have no IDEA who our blorbos are! I've checked tags for some fairly popular webtoon and it was like visiting that Tatooine town in the Mandalorian where there are 5 citizens total, but only if you also count the Mayor, the sheriff, and the deputy.

Lore Olympus is the most popular webtoon and has under 2,000 fics on AO3. Lookism has roughly 1,000. Unordinary, THEE legacy webtoon, only has 600, and it's been running for almost 7 years now. It has nearly 6M subscribers and still gets 50K+ likes each week. It's not dead by any means.

I guess it doesn't help that each webtoon is its own micro ecosystem and once a webtoon ends, that ecosystem typically fades with it. But webtoons can go on runs longer than most shows on streaming services, and those fandoms burn hot and bright even if only for the first month of a new season drop.

By comparison, webtoon fans are largely casual about their enthusiasm, even if they're highly invested in the story or characters. From my experience, only the most passionate try to connect with other fans online. But when you're passionate about one webtoon, I suppose it's hard to show constant excitement about the 20+ other stories one might keep up with. Still, between the 85 million monthly readers, you'd think each major webtoon would at least have a dedicated fan base (meaning people who regularly post theories, thoughts, fics, and fanart) of mere thousands outside of the app.

One exception for this is that Batman webtoon? It actually trends on Tumblr every now and again. But it doesn't count, because Batman has a built in fandom who'll eat up and yell in the streets about any content where he's a decent dad.

People who read romance webtoon all tend to read the same comics, and actively understand the references to other popular romance comics (Trashta, Team Seojun, SLS), so you'd think there'd be a greater sense of unity. More people actively searching out others to discuss with and posting their thoughts online and not just in that webtoon's comment section.

I mean, C'MON girls!!! Millions of people log into that app like everyday!!! WHERE is the community?? WHERE is the fanart?? WHERE is the fanfic?? WHY does Odd Girl Out only have 7 fanfics?? WHY are there like 2 people on Twitter posting about Weak Hero?? Head in hands fr

Your honor, they were watering down my favorite character and not letting them be a jerk.

Love me some morally gray long haired pretty boys who rain down lightning on their enemies like divine judgement.

Kayden and Kartein (separate) husband headcanons please

Kayden:

• Kayden didn't want to make a big deal out of your marriage, so you had a small and quick ceremony with your closest family members and friends

• The fact that you're married doesn't change anything, he's still your good old Kayden

• Whenever he has the opportunity to brag about you, he will do it. "What a coincidence, [Name] my spouse, thinks that too."

• So, what do you think about being a cat? I think Kayden would definitely teach you how to become a cat to sleep with you in the sun together

• Kayden doing push-ups while you're sitting comfortably on his back and you're scrolling on your phone

• He would come up behind you and put his chin on top of your head or on your shoulder while you're cooking something

• But he will help you with the cooking on most days. When he's too lazy though, he will just eat cat food and he will convince you to eat it too😭

• When he meets people who are important to you for the first time, he cleans himself up to make a good impression. Like tying up his bun properly and buttoning up his shirt (like he did when he met Jiwoo's mom)

• Kayden is traveling a lot to fight people and he's always asking you if you want to go with him

• If you're accompanying him, he makes sure that you also get to enjoy the location you're staying at instead of just watching him smack random people

Kartein:

• Your wedding ring would be a dainty one and Kartein never takes it off, even when he's working

• Gets mad whenever you get hurt in some way and scolds you to take better care of yourself.

• He even does it when it's just a papercut😭 "Why are being so careless? Do you know how fast this wound could get infected???" Bro would be all up in your face

• He loves matching outfits or at least matching accessories. Since his color scheme is usually white, he loves it when you're wearing bright pieces. That way, everybody can see that you two belong together

• He allows you to help him apply his red lip tint. Which is actually hard to do because that maniac won't stop staring at you

• Whenever you're at Jiwoo's, you help Kartein with the chores like cleaning the cat poop because of ✨️loyalty even in suffering✨️

[hanahope101-2]

They share one brain cell, and the custody over Jiwoo 😂

[yuibangtanie]

kartein has been waiting for kayden 😭😭😭

"you came" and "you called" is literally them, and no one can tell me otherwise

[murasaki-cha]

Ok a little Eleceed talk here because I haven't followed the manhwa in so long and I forgot where I left it and what had happened so I'm rereading.

I want to say I know Jiwoo has a mom and in this hosehold we stan Mama Seo. But like at the same time...

I know it's not possible but I 100% believe that Kayden birthed that boy. Like that's his son, that's his spawn, his little mini me. No adoption process, that boy came out of Kayden's nonexistent womb.

And also, again it is not biologically possible, but Kartein also birthed Jiwoo. That's his little boy right there, can't you see the resemblance?? Kartein is that boys mom, he went into labor damn it.

Anyway stan those two demon kings, most powerful awakened bastards and their angelic, purest creature, most precious child ever Jiwoo

[heartrenderscove]

Kartein: Teaming up with Kayden? That's ridiculous, such nonsense

Kartein: Who's friends with who? I can't stand to be within 5 feet of Kayden actually

Also Kartein: Pauses in the middle of the fight with a top 10 to check on Kayden, not ONCE, but TWICE. Actively more concerned about Kayden than his own wellbeing

Completely straight behaviour. Totally platonic; nothing to see here. He's totally not concerned for his husband or anything, they totally didn't get married after Astra arc

Eleceed jumpscare. Kartein x f!Reader.

You frown. A little perturbed, to say the least. When your fiancé had told you about his location, you had expected somewhere more… secluded, or at least, more secure. What you’re seeing is a simple of homestead of a Korean boy, one filled with pets, no less.

It doesn’t help that one of them is staring up at you with intense eyes. You wouldn’t have cared had the not been this… unsightly.

“Do you want something to drink, miss?” The owner of the house has fretted about since your arrival, but you can’t find it in your heart to care about his worrying.

“What is this… mongrel creature?” You point at the scrawny-looking thing that has been following you since your arrival. The way it keeps brushing up against your ankle and staring up at you with unblinking eyes is getting on your nerves.

“Oh, it’s—” Before the boy has the chance to answer, the creature shrieks loudly. You think it’s feline? You can’t tell. It’s more rodent in its appearance than anything else.

“Is it feral?” You take a step back from the creature. “Rabies?”

The gremlin (?) jumps at your accusation, shocked by the words spilling out of your lips. “Rabies?!” It is the voice of your beloved that you hear, but you can’t tell where it’s coming from.

“Hm, right, where’s Kartein?” You turn back to the boy, whose name keeps escaping you.

The boy glances down at the imp (?) nervously before meeting your eyes again. “He’s right here, miss.” He gives you an awkward smile, something you can’t comprehend.

“?” You glance around the living room and see that there is no one here except for you, the boy, and the cats. One of them is definitely oversized and sitting weird from the way he perches on the nearby couch with crossed legs.

You don’t even know cat can sit that way. “Here where?” You ask the boy again and he answers by pointing at the feral critter (?) at your feet.

“Here.”

You stare at it again and see the warmth in its eyes vaguely resembling the affection your fiancé always holds in his gaze. However, to say this ugly cretin is Kartein… “I understand my fiancé is an eccentric sort, but to compare him to this unsightly rat is an insult.”

Without missing a beat, the humongous thing with the vague resemblance to a cat sitting on the couch nearby howls with laughter. Human laughter, that is. That voice is also insanely familiar. As you struggle to pinpoint down who might that be, you fail to notice the flurry of energy exuding from your side. It isn’t until Kartein is up in your face that you pay attention to him.

“Beloved! What do you mean by unsightly rat?!” Kartein fumes, to which you don’t understand why.

“Oh, here you are,” you nod your head at him, “I thought I’ve gotten the address wrong for a moment.”

“Don’t change the subject, how did you not realize it was me?!” Kartein takes hold of your shoulder with an impressive wounded puppy look that makes you almost feel bad about whatever it is that you did to slight him. “Didn’t you say I’m your darling snorkum who you love more than anything in this world?!”

You blink. “I never said that—”

Before you can get another word in, however, Kartein pulls you into a tight hug. “Doesn’t matter now, I’ve missed you so much. I should’ve packed you in a suitcase to bring with me when that Kayden bastard asked for my help.”

“I don’t think that’d work—”

Kartein pulls back to meet your eyes, completely ignoring all of the other people watching in the room. “It’s fine, as long as we’re together, nothing can get in our way.”

“Uh,” you barely have the chance to hug him back, “I’m only here for a visit, you know? It’s not like I can make my residence here with you. I don’t think there’s space…”

“Nonsense,” Kartein bristles, “you just need to become a cat like the rest of us.”

“Us?” You glance down at the other cats down on the floor before the other familiar voice calls out for you.

“Yo,” the gigantic mongrel on the couch waves at you with a smirk. You don’t know cat can smirk.

Your eyes narrow as you once again struggle to recall who that is. “…Is that cat talking?”

“That’s Kayden,” Kartein supplies helpfully.

His answer doesn’t enlighten you enough. “Kayden… the one you went to help?” When Kartein nods, your frown deepens. “I… see. He has changed since we last met. Gained a few… kilograms,” you purse your lips, trying to connect the image of the Awakener you knew to this absolute unit.

“I can do the same thing, too,” Kartein preens with an excited gleam in his eyes. Before you get the chance to ask him to clarify, your beloved vanishes from your eyes, leaving you momentarily disoriented.

“Ta-da!”

Once again, you hear his voice from below, but he’s nowhere around again. “?” You look at the boy once more. “Where did he go?”

“I’m right here!” The hideous creature from before clings at your leg again, making you shudder slightly. “Do you not recognize the visage of your beloved?” But it’s undeniable that his voice is coming from this unpleasant… thing.

“Kar…tein?”

“Yes!” He (?) replies with an unbridled delight in his voice. “Behold, beloved. I’ve transcended the human form.”

“I… see.” You nod, taking in the information in with an unstoppable urge for denial. “This is not permanent, I hope?”

“No, it’s only for convenience during my stay here,” he purrs, wrapping his tiny… unseemly body around you. “Better to say anonymous this way, you see.”

You nod again in acceptance, because you don’t think you have that much reserve of nice things to say inside you. “As long as you’re safe, beloath—beloved.”

“Of course,” Kat-tein perks up at you. “I’d never worry you for no good reason.”

Well, now, that’s a lie. He has vanished on you for months to do… whatever this is. At least, your house has been less noisy without him around. You will count that as a blessing.

“Whatever you say, beloved.”
