Less Than An Hour Later I Have Just Read Over The Outline For My Ji-yeong Fic And Am Now Sat At My Desk

sadly I can’t find it but there was a post talking about height differences that called sae-byeok a ‘giraffe of a lesbian’ and it always makes me laugh to think about so I had to throw a reference to it into the fic 🦒

pls click for full quality!

I still haven't watched s2 but I have fond memories of Squid Game s1 (I miss you saebyeong).

Also this is a 2-color riso print you can currently get in my shop~

Just rewatched season 2 because I missed my shayla and I noticed something about when Gihun wakes up in the games.

Seonnyeo is the first player to talk to him when he wakes up and yeah she goes on a whole crazy ominous tirade about his destiny, but then she mentions that there are spirits around him.

And that theyre VENGEFUL spirits.

We all agree she was talking about the players that were there when he played, right? Okay, but hear me out.

I think the spirits she specifically senses are Saebyeok and/or Sangwoo. Their presences in the spirit realm are probably the STRONGEST in regards to her and her clairvoyance, not because theyre the only spirits who may be trapped there, (theyre most certainly not ffs 455 ppl died theres gotta be more), but because in regards to Gihun, theyre the strongest ones she can sense.

I like to think of it as she can see them clearly standing beside him while he cant, like obviously shes never met these people so she wouldnt know their names, but through her eyes she sees two people following and standing beside Gihun, watching over him and guiding him to do the right thing. To finally put an end to this hell hole that they found each other in.

Gihun obviously cant see it cause he’s not a shaman or even involved in the spirit realm like Seonnyeo is, but i even think the look he gave her when she said that hid a glimmer of hope that his friends were watching over him in the spirit realm, just like she mentioned.

SAE-BYEOK /PLAYER 067/ IN EVERY EPISODE: S01E01 “RED LIGHT, GREEN LIGHT”

i'm hereby posting chapter 1 of my squid game fic as soon as i wake up tomorrow!! god im so excited but also so nervous

dropping the summary + author notes i wrote

VANISH INTO YOU | SANGIHUN + SQUID GAME GHOST AU ⏾ִ ࣪𖤐

Cho Sang-woo always expected death to be the end. When you died, you felt nothing. Not a single trace of you left behind, no soul remaining to roam in your memory. Just permanent nothing. That was how it was supposed to be. So why was he still here? Trapped on the island he died on. Unable to move on. Bound to a place soaked in blood and regret. And what made it worse? He was far from alone. [sangwoo-centric ghost AU following the events of the 33rd squid game. majority of this story takes place in s2/to-be s3]

"what kickstarted this fic was me saying to @schadennorth: "i love the thought of a ghost au , like there’s gotta be so many ghosts lurking around the island which includes our s1 favs!! i’d love to see them in a s2 setting where gi-hun comes back and they're watching him from afar (as ghosts). and seon-nyeo claims she can see ghosts so imagine the shit she’d see them doing" and then i decided. you know what. hell yeah. let's write."

this action will have consequences

hi.

whichever one of you fucks put my fic (vanish into you) into a public rating bookmark collection (and rated my fic 3/5 stars) can you please take it down right now.

i didn’t ask for you to rate my fic. you are unconsentedly rating shit i put HOURS into. HOURS I COULD BE USING STUDYING FOR FINALS. but sorry that i enjoy writing enough i guess??

hell, i dont even care if you rate it 5 stars, or 1 star, but i didnt ask for this, and im sure these others didnt either!! (there’s thousands of them)

this is genuinely upsetting me because as somebody who has a borderline anxiety attack before posting every chapter, it kinda sucks to get indirectly told your work is mediocre! i am insanely self conscious and this doesn’t help. so congrats i guess!

ao3 isn’t even meant to have a rating system. i’m sorry for getting so worked up over this but it is genuinely upsetting.

anyways. please and thank you.

I need to figure out how to engage with my comfort show/characters without hyperfixating and burning out because on the one hand I really need that rn but on the other the last time I did that I hyperfocused on writing for ten hours straight

aaaaa

no way did I just spend two hours sat in the library researching, writing, and editing my fic and then see some loser on reddit complaining about being judged for using AI to “write” his novels 💀
