is anyone else just like. constantly filled with rage about their position under late capitalism and how we are expected to just keep playing this game that we know will literally kill us, is already killing people all over the world, and yet everyone around us is somehow fine with going about business as usual, with pretending we are free by being able to choose between different ways of being exploited. there is nothing more dehumanising than being forced to partake in a system that is actively detrimental to our survival as human beings, that is so physically, psychologically and spiritually destructive, and i don’t know how to deal with this anger anymore
A little girl died from hunger in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, despite being in the area where aid trucks are distributed. Another family in the north in Gaza city was forced to eat a donkey, which for many in Palestine is inconceivable culturally. Bisan says there isn't even water (clean OR dirty) for them to drink or wash with.
imo Gi-hun can be deranged and violent (and it’s not a bad thing). yes, he’s kind and a good person, but that doesn’t mean he can’t experience anger and be desperate (enough to possibly kill), especially in a life or death situation. a reminder that he was about to kill Sang-woo in his sleep before Sae-byeok stopped him in season 1.
do I think Gi-hun would actually go through with it if he wasn’t stopped? he probably wouldn’t. he did choose not to kill Sang-woo in that final game. but he’s certainly not above violent thoughts or threatening people.
I also think this is what makes Gi-hun so fascinating as a character. he’s kind and a sweetheart, but he’s not always a “cinnamon roll uwu”. he can also be deranged and violent if he believes his life or the lives of people he loves are in danger.
Niragi should’ve been a slut.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Number 1 rule of deaths in media:
If there's no body on screen, there's no death. So take those broken goggles outta here, he ain't dead, hell nah
Hind Khoudary, a Palestinian journalist, also reported they destroyed 50 peoples homes and many Palestinian people are under the rubble:
We say ceasefire now and permanently but we must also be demanding an end to IOF's violent occupation of Historic Palestine -free free free Palestine.
Massive Trigger Warning ⚠️
I usually don't share footage this graphic but I have no choice. Israel is bombing gaza nonstop and all the worse injuries are of children and infants. This baby under the cut, has been completely obliterated by a bomb dropped on his house, on him. He isn't more than days old. He has done nothing, his parents did nothing to see their baby like that. This is what's happening in gaza now, this is what the world allowed to happen and the violence continues. Trigger warning, but I have to show you the extents of Israel's violence that is funded by the world's largest support. Remember, this is real.
Trigger warning ⚠️ graphic video.
It is pretty clear the show was telling us that Gi-hun felt suspicious that Sang-woo knew about the dalgona game right after the game ended. However, at that time, I personally think he trusted that not to be true—that Sang-woo really didn’t know and just was nervous about the game. It was kind of a leap of faith for him. It makes sense for Gi-hun knowing his beliefs in people. ( But even if he accepted it fully that Sang-woo deliberately didn’t tell him, he already forgave him. )
But once he realized the kind of person the games made Sang-woo, thats when he knew Sang-woo purposefully kept it from him. As @degenerata69 said in their fic, him choosing “triangle” was basically a petty way of saying “i know what you did.”
Thats another reason Gi-hun wanting to end the games and go home with Sang-woo has such a big impact on me. He was forgiving Sang-woo for everything from the beginning. He felt that Sang-woo was still naturally good even when Sang-woo did him and everyone else wrong.
