first football (soccer) training in months tonight, missed the last game due to injury and I am SO rusty and unfit rn so let’s see how this goes

hi mutuals!! thank you for following 💗

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.

She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.

not gonna post about it much if at all bc this is a sg blog but I started playing class of 09 and it’s already fucking me up wow

the 2024 nuclear family 😔

ok I have healed myself by writing the CUTEST little jibyeok moment and I’m trying not to like. squeal with happiness in the middle of this library

me: meant to be getting ready to go to the big library to collect a book and then do some jibyeok fic work. the happy nice one

also me: what if I got sidetracked, started editing a different fic on my phone, and then burst into tears about it because it’s an angst fic and my heart can never handle seeing jibyeok suffer (she says. writing jibyeok angst)

(bleeding from my wound) notice anythiung differebt about me ;)

if gi-hun dies in S3 then so does cheol’s only chance of ever finding out what happened to his big sister. his opportunity to be able to fully grieve and process the fact that she’s dead and not coming back. the knowledge that she didn’t abandon him, and fought for him until her dying breath
