Clearly…

update; her name is gonna be min chae-yeong and she’ll go by min for short

this is great because both ‘yeong’ and ‘min’ can mean jade spending on the hanja used, and that’s an important part of her theming and design. ‘min’ can also mean ‘clever’ or ‘agile’, both of which also suit her

squid game fic readers, how many characters with -yeong at the end of their given name is too many?

my upcoming WIP features gi-hun’s daughter ga-yeong as the main POV. I have an OC who I’ve been trying to find a name for, and research has given me the name chae-yeong which for a number of reasons fits her perfectly, but she’s going to be part of the core trio with ga-yeong and I worry it’ll be confusing to keep up with

do koreans ever go by the first part of their name only? we call sae-byeok ‘sae’ but is that a westernism or is it actually the done thing? because I could introduce the character and then shorten her name to chae immediately

Idk gang anyone have any thoughts

good news, gang!! the fic concept I thought up and then dismissed because ‘it’s definitely been done’ has in fact, to the best of my knowledge, not actually been done

the last thing I need rn is another long-ish fic going but the more I think about this the more I need to write it

I’m actually amazed no one has done it but now I rly want to 😭

Everyone is talking about how Gi-hun will react after finding out that Hwang In-ho, also known as the Front Man, is actually Young-il—and how Jun-ho hid this truth from him. But no one is talking about Choi Woo-seok. How will that little boy handle the shocking reality that a former police officer is the Front Man? And that Jun-ho, a former detective, also kept this secret from him?

Woo-seok will feel utterly betrayed. His heart will shatter, and from every broken piece, a painful truth will echo: "Never trust the police."

ok apparently I just post fic recs now but the sg chatfic that makes me scream laugh just updated for the first time in weeks and I’m so hyped

about to start writing, thought about upcoming scene, remembered the scene it’s based on in canon, I’m already crying what the FUCK

Been thinking about them lately…

working on my fluffy jibyeok WIP

who up un-dooming they yuri

guys guys guys I wanted to see if anyone had made an edit with this song and this is AMAZING and it has barely any views pls watch it it’s so good I promise

"No one calls us home anymore," Sang-woo says, and he means it as a justification. An excuse. His life is empty, he is no longer a child to be cared for, no one calls for him and he has no home to go back to.

Gi-hun could have offered the obvious answer. He could have pointed out that Sang-woo's mother still calls him, that she talks to Gi-hun about her son whenever she sees him. We as the audience know that she asks if Gi-hun has heard from him, later, when she can't reach her son and worries if he's okay.

Gi-hun could have heard the excuse, the plea to give up, and he could have argued with Sang-woo or let him give up.

Instead, Gi-hun sees a reason for hope. He sees an opportunity. He hears, "No one calls us home anymore," and he holds his hand out immediately and says, "Let's go home."

Even if no one else will call Sang-woo home, Gi-hun will.

But Sang-woo doesn't take his hand. Sang-woo grabs the knife and takes his own life, instead, because the truth isn't really that no one calls him home anymore.

The truth is that Sang-woo is the one who stopped listening when they called.
