“Happy In Gaza. The Palestinian Desire For Life.”

I hope y’all know that between the ambiguity in the episode itself, the survivor foreshadowing, the weird way they keep talking about it, and especially Michelle Ang’s haltering “he doesn’t come back—in this episode—at least” and Joel Aron replying to a fan on Twitter who was really spiraling badly about Tech being perma-dead and the batch never reuniting and next season the last season with this

I’m treating Tech’s survival as a matter of fact from now on. If I get crushed later I get crushed later. I’ll deal with it. I just refuse to continue being crushed right now.

Is it clear who the terrorist is?

"sang-woo didn't feel any remorse for his actions!!!!!" (rant incoming hi guys)

okay. im NOT an expert in facial expressions at all. but compare these images, during the later games (1: on the glass bridge, unsure of when; 2: after marbles before glass bridge, eating the consolation potato)

to these. (before marbles)

although he's still quite distressed (in the death games, wow! who would have guessed!), after marbles was when he genuinely started to lose his mind and spiral downward. i like to imagine in his head he’s fighting a battle between the overwhelming, harrowing feeling of guilt, and the need to win the games/being so desperate and willing to do anything to get out with the money.

in the first couple images, his eyes have that glassy, faded kind of look to them.

i do also want to take into account that sang-woo very visibly felt and looked guilty during the dalgona game. not because he lied about the game exactly, but because he nearly sent his best friend into death.

while i think it likely fucked with him self-consciously, i do think he was able to deflect it with "well he survived anyway" instead of wallowing in it like later.

(another thing i noticed (credits to @degenerata69 for pointing this out, i forgot where they said it but it made me do some deeper diving) is that sang-woo was one of the last triangle-shaped cutters to finish. i do think he was taking his time to ensure it didn't break, but i also do think his thoughts of guilt slowed him down. also his hands are shaking before the gunshots go off (seen more towards the beginning) poor guy.)

now look at his face after killing sae-byeok.

still a heartless monster with no remorse?

🚨 Alarming figures from @/ EuroMedHR study on hunger levels in Gaza set to be released tomorrow:

71% of Gaza's population faces severe hunger, with 98% experiencing inadequate food consumption. 64% resort to consuming fruits, wild or raw food, & expired items to alleviate hunger.

To these fiendish governments and officials all around the world comfortably earning a living and having endless access to resources and essentials -to those who have aided, ignored, abetted, and funded this mass genocide and human rights violations -you're despicable and I wish for nothing but your demise.

DO NOT, AND I BEG OF YOU, DO NOT STAY SILENT. ISRAELI HAVE MASSACRED INNOCENT PALESTINIANS IN RAFAH, THEIR SAFE SPACE, THEIR CAMPS WHERE THEY WERE RESIDING. ITS A FUCKING MASSACRE. INNOCENT LIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN, JUST LIKE THAT. MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES JUST LIKE THAT. AND IF YOURE STILL SILENT, SHAME ON YOU. SERIOUSLY.

‘Blocking traffic/public disruptions aren’t going to help your cause’ if that is so, why have there been larger and more numerous pro Palestine protests than ever before? Why is public knowledge on Palestinian oppression more prevalent now? Why do a majority of countries in the world call for a ceasefire? Why do a majority of the countries in the world call for Palestine’s recognition? And why is it that people who complain about disruptions not helping our cause have never supported us in the first place? I wonder.

All 5 fingers

Don't stop talking about Palestine 🇵🇸
