sangihun this, 457 that, but nothing hurts me more than gihun and saebyeok

"mister?" i will never get over this 💔

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."

me: I write for myself, not validation

also me after posting a fic *refreshes ao3 every five minutes*

(two things can be true)

re: prev post, when it said ‘those 1k word fics that will cause you permanent trauma because of how sad they are’ I felt so called out bc I adore those and I also love writing them 😭

I FORGOR TO POST THIS ONE (ignore the number being on the wrong side)

Small brains: “This Squid Game character is completely bad and has no positive qualities!” “This Squid Game character is completely good and has no negative qualities!”

Big, massive, gigantic brains: Every Squid Game character is a realistic portrayal of the human mind and morals, no character is void of sin nor are any of them inherently wrong for anything they do when put under the pressure of being forced into situations where they have no choice but to survive or die trying. No decision is stupid or weak when a gun is pointed to your head, or a sharp object is held to your throat. When a human’s life is threatened, of course they will make decisions that we at home deem irrational, and we see it that way because we are not them. We are not groveling on our knees with the barrel of a gun aimed for the spot between our eyes, we are sitting in the comfort and luxury of our homes, watching a fictional show about a dramatized rendition of the effects of CAPITALISM.

It is okay, in fact warranted and natural, to feel hatred for people who do questionable things, as well as adoration and empathy. You are human. So are they. That is the point of the portrayal. Gihun wasn’t fucking around when he forgave and trusted so easily. He doesnt see “evil” or “nefarious” he sees human.

The REAL enemy? The system. Which is what we’ve been trying to say since DAY ONE of Squid Game’s release. Next time your blorbo gets killed off, dont look at the crazed stare in their murderer’s eyes, look at the knife or gun in their hand and ask yourself the question;

Who put that there?

Who put the weapon in their hand and gave them the capability and the drive to do it in the first place? When you do that, you will achieve clarity, i promise.

The lesbian flag but it’s color-picked from ji-yeong’s last scene

does anyone still care about them
