Inho Is Sangwoo If He Won

the parallels are insane

I have so many thoughts about this but it is too early in the morning for me to coherently gather my thoughts 😭

“I have trouble believing anyone here would do that.”

“In the games that I played, I saw dozens of people murder each other in the middle of the night.”

“Right where we’re standing.”

“You have no idea. You don’t understand this place. The kind of monsters that it can create.”

“Yeah, of course. I wasn’t thinking. You know better than anyone. I’m sorry.”

“In-ho was only looking at gi-hun like that cuz he enjoys watching him suffer” okay but have you considered that I’m delusional

I've wanted to draw Muriel with Eric for a long time, they look cute together...

venting is only annoying when i do it btw. everybody else is innocent and free of sin

Can I just say that one of my favorite parts of the 457-dynamic in fandom is that usually In-ho’s big bad nefarious evil plan to convince Gi-hun to join his side is — to show that he loves him? That’s it. No frills, no nothing. He just worships the ground Gi-hun walks on.

And here’s the best part.

It works. Gi-hun is not a protagonist who’s above it all. He doesn’t turn his nose up at it. Even when he rejects In-ho, it’s not about whether he’s tempted or not, it’s about him being opposed to In-ho’s ideology. The man, for all his kindness, for all the way he freely gives affection, has probably never been treated like he’s worth something in his life. He’s so touch-starved, love-starved — that actually yeah, being in love with him is a strategy that works.

And the way it’s practically canon too. For example the part where In-ho slipped up and called Gi-hun by his name:

Do you know you’ve known this man for two days Gi-hun? Do you know you’re third-wheeling a room of four-hundred people? Oh my god get it together!

Honestly it’s downright diabolical. They are soulmate-coded and I eat it up.
