Rewatching Squid Game Is Torture

they fall in love and one of them sacrifices herself for the other, next question

This is so sick, inho you are an asshole 😭

Another thing that annoys me about YT Squid Game is the deleted scene where Se-Mi is angry at Nam-Gyu because he keeps failing to succeed in spinning top.

People deadass saying "oh that's why he killed her. They are both bad"

THAT'S NOT THE FUCKING POINT. Also, FUCK YOU for even IMPLYING there was a single valid reason for killing her.

People are sleeping on familiar/platonic relationships when it comes to media in favor of romantic/sexual ones and it's so sad. Why can't we have both? Why are the platonic relationships pushed aside?

Its so weird for me to see toxic!Se-mi hcs (no hate against anyone who likes it), because I cant see her as a red flag or anything like that

Like look at her, she is such a cutie pie and she would be such a green flag girlfriend giving princess treatment

having finally finished summer’s for lovers I’ve pivoted straight into the next fic, which has a very different vibe but I’m really enjoying it so far

I have a lot to get done with it to stay on track, but I’m optimistic and REALLY excited to get off the mark with it. it’s gonna be good, trust

more info to come, first instalments drop this sunday 👀

i've barely thought in depth abt this so it very likely doesn't actually work but squid game au where gi-hun notices sae-byeok's injury sooner and tries to get help for it like in the scene in the show and sang-woo still goes to try to kill her like in the show but gi-hun manages to stop him and either he or both of them try to help her with her injury or the game staff do smth abt it (probably unlikely tho) and they do end up voting to leave (maybe they vote to leave while sae-byeok is still injured but because they decided to leave they treat her injury then or smth. i imagine they treated gi-hun's injuries after the final game before taking him home in the show but maybe i'm being too generous) and the 3 of them just have this thing going on that's kind of like found family but not (worse) but is mostly just them trying to cope with their experience in the games and sang-woo still having resentment to both of them for having them leave without the money and gi-hun kinda feeling that way toward sang-woo for trying to kill sae-byeok and prioritizing the money over their lives (among other things he did) but also they still care abt each other (and of course gi-hun and sae-byeok care about each other too (and maybe over time sae-byeok and sang-woo grow to tolerate and then care about each other too)) and idk where i'm going with this i just want the misery and resentment and something that's kinda like found family but more fucked up than that

update; her name is gonna be min chae-yeong and she’ll go by min for short

this is great because both ‘yeong’ and ‘min’ can mean jade spending on the hanja used, and that’s an important part of her theming and design. ‘min’ can also mean ‘clever’ or ‘agile’, both of which also suit her

squid game fic readers, how many characters with -yeong at the end of their given name is too many?

my upcoming WIP features gi-hun’s daughter ga-yeong as the main POV. I have an OC who I’ve been trying to find a name for, and research has given me the name chae-yeong which for a number of reasons fits her perfectly, but she’s going to be part of the core trio with ga-yeong and I worry it’ll be confusing to keep up with

do koreans ever go by the first part of their name only? we call sae-byeok ‘sae’ but is that a westernism or is it actually the done thing? because I could introduce the character and then shorten her name to chae immediately

Idk gang anyone have any thoughts

You ever watch some episodes of a series and get so deeply attached and sad and emotional while watching that you can't even watch it anymore without getting an actual headache of empathy for the characters

can I come over and stare at you like this
