ji-yeong would have cleared the glass bridge game because she’s so tiny she wouldn’t even break the non-tempered glass
wait actually now I have thoughts about this lmao
AU where they don’t team up in marbles, sae-byeok teams with sang-woo and refuses to change the game when she’s winning and he fucking dies gootbye
ji-yeong partners with some rando and wins because she’s actually really good at throwing marbles at a wall when she doesn’t drop them on purpose. let’s say it’s the pastor bc she’d absolutely enjoy beating him and he’s an asshole
she goes first on the glass bridge bc she’s a baddie and wants to protect sae-byeok and ends up leading everyone across, the non-tempered glass bends a little under her weight so she knows which is which
(mi-nyeo still pushes deok-su off for laughs tho)
the game staff are super pissed because they now have to figure out how to do squid game with 15 players, and also have to prepare as many fancy steak dinners
no one has a knife fight after dinner bc ji-yeong leads everyone in sharing their life stories over steak and wine and everyone has a good time
she and sae-byeok push their beds together afterwards (sae isn’t quite ready to share a single one and ji-yeong definitely wriggles a lot in her sleep)
everyone gets home safe somehow Idk and they all meet up once a year for a steak dinner
every other author has done this blah blah blah. enjoy
She ties your shoelaces for you
Is 100% a cat person. They're distant, untrusting and sceptical like her and she always enjoys hanging out with them, even if it means sitting miles away from one.
loves watching you and Cheol interact
Cheol made you and her play Minecraft with him and Cheol burned down your joint base as a prank. She was so annoyed. Also she's the type to go mining and actually play the game whilst you plant pretty flowers.
She's not very expressive, but she loves little touches - touching knees at the dinner table, brushing hands as you take the keys from her grasp, always sitting next to you/saving you a seat at functions
Was so nervous to meet your parents - but she was a charmer, and they loved her :)
always makes sure your phone is charged
pays attention to detail - knows your favourite foods, your favourite songs, and movies.
Is terrified of insects and small rodents - though she'd never admit it to your face, you did have to save her a few times from a rouge mouse or a scurrying spider.
smells like coffee and rain
Is usually always surprised at your affectionate actions, like she couldn't think of a single reason why someone would want to kiss her, let alone you???
Is super competitive. You took her and Cheol to the arcade once and had to let her win every. single. game.
casually plays guitar - it calms her. she doesn't have much experience but if she finds a song she wants to play she'll spend a whole evening learning the tabs.
You introduced her to 'the dark knight' and now it's her favourite movie. not just because you showed her it, but also because she thinks batman is just super fucking cool.
Loves mornings. Is literally always first up (except for the days she pretends to be asleep to stay in your arms just that bit longer).
loves when you wear her clothes, they always look so baggy on you due to her oversized style.
She's so tough to everyone but you. With you, she's the softest person in the world - still super quiet, but never left any space between you two when you were in the same room - always embracing you or making contact in some way.
Talks to you late at night about her scars as you trace them with your fingers
is such a weird sleeper. She might kick you out of the bed, or wake you because she can't sleep, or mumble something indecisive as she dreams.
brushes your hair for you and puts it into pretty styles
Cheol always teases you two. One night, he even asked what all those 'weird noises' were coming from your room. You two avoided all his questions for the rest of the day and made a note to be a little quieter next time.
Regularly takes you and Cheol to play laser tag together after learning how good of a team you made.
Only wears one piece of jewellery - a simple ring that you got her for her birthday.
She's quiet when people ask about you - not because she is embarrassed, but because she is protective over the secret, calm life you three share with each other. The things you say and do are so valued and private to her that she found it hard to openly talk about your relationship.
Fits in well with your family, her humour matches theirs pretty perfectly. she really enjoys having a family dynamic both with them and you and Cheol, after not having anything like that for so long.
Is very sassy. totally a sarcastic person, and always pokes fun at you/makes jokes through it playfully. ("I hate you" "Not what you were saying last night")
Loves the rain - you'll sometimes catch her up at 3am, sitting by the window just watching it fall.
Got you a record player for your birthday, and spent ages picking out vinyls you'd like.
makes you packed lunches when you go to work
pretends to not like Kpop but you caught her singing Russian roulette in the kitchen over and over...
loves winter and snow!!
whilst you shower she brushes her teeth and vice versa
Loves long walks in the woods with you
Is an insanely dry texter and refuses to use slang, always typing in full words. she'll always reply like 'okay.' or 'yes.'
her favourite thing is her moments just lying in bed with you, whether sleeping or just being there together, she cherished it deeply and almost always made you late in the morning.
loves cinema dates, she doesn't feel like anyone is watching her and can be way more affectionate because of this.
always wears a suit to formal events/dinners, and will without hesitation give you her jacket if you get cold.
Write in bed. Just do it. It's cozy there.
Alternatively, write challenging scenes while standing up (i.e. with a standing desk or at a dresser).
You know that one tip about listening to Coconut Mall while doing schoolwork? Well, listen to Coconut Mall while writing on a deadline.
Run what you've written through text-to-speech (I usually just use Google Translate) so you don't have to read it aloud to check for mistakes.
Do personality quizzes in the POV of your characters, even silly Buzzfeed ones about which kind of pizza your personality represents.
For a story that takes place over a week or a month: make a timeline of what your MC does every day in the morning, afternoon, evening, and night. It helps put together those "missing pieces" in the narrative.
Make your characters in The Sims, as well as their houses.
Browse Subreddits related to themes in your story, or hobbies/interests of your characters.
wait wait wait mutuals rb this with a description of ur voice
sangihun this, 457 that, but nothing hurts me more than gihun and saebyeok
"mister?" i will never get over this 💔
(this is not a ship post!)
I know I keep talking about different fics so here's a list of my ongoing squid game WIPs!
Very fluffy no games/no debt/everyone is alive AU one-shot Jibyeok fic with a lot of pairings featured
Canon-based Ji-yeong one-shot focusing on her POV before and after joining Gi-hun's team, particularly outside the games after the players initially vote to leave, up to and including the events of S1E6
Non-canon serial fic set during a future iteration of the games, featuring a core group of two canon characters (you'll have to wait and see who they are) and two OCs who I am very excited to introduce!! I’m considering simultaneously running a character blog owned by one of the OCs, documenting the events of the story from her own POV
The first has the most progress, and one of the first two will be the first one published as the third is going to take a while and I intend to write most if not all of it before starting to publish. The current plan for that is to release a chapter every week, and have it out before S3 drops!
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
trying out colored pencils after ages of either using watercolor or (mostly) no color at all, maybe color IS fun after all.
