Its Finally Here

this is now a fic I’m planning on writing!

I’m not gonna do pre-game because we know that; she was recruited straight out of prison so there isn’t a whole lot to tell

stuff I’m planning to cover:

- the first day of the games; waking up, red light, green light, the vote (which way does she vote…?)

- the days spent outside after the ‘X’ vote wins, and returning to the games

- dalgona

- the “special game”

- events immediately preceding her first encounter with sae-byeok prior to the tug of war game

- offscreen events in the marble game

have I missed anything/are there any other moments you’d like to see? I can’t promise to include everything and some things might just not fit but I really want to write this!

I just had a thought; how did ji-yeong survive the night time brawl/“special game”? she wasn’t in gi-hun’s team at that point so she must have either hid or fought solo, right?

personally I think she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to kill people but if she was threatened she would absolutely have killed a man

I’m thinking shard of glass rather than bludgeoning someone with a metal bar. girlie’s already proficient with sharp objects

alternate take because suffering is fun: curled up under a bed in the foetal position with her hands over her ears waiting for it to be over

100 posts!

is it that time already?? nice

scored a first-time volley in training tonight

I don’t care if no one knows what that means pls just be impressed 🥺

has anyone written this bc I would absolutely write this

Little AU where it's Sae-byeok that runs into Gi-hun in Seoul in S1E2, instead of Il-nam, and Gi-hun gets to apologize for hassling her about the money and she shares her Ramen with him. He asks her if she's old enough to drink and she scoffs and pours herself some soju. They play the bottle cap game.

They talk about the games.

Sae-byeok says she's going back. She reluctantly sums up her situation, without any real details, and Gi-hun returns the show of trust by telling his story too.

They make their agreement early. If one gets through it and the other doesn't, they'll help each other’s family.

She's even more of a daughter figure to him in the games and her death is that much more devastating.

“I want to go home.”

Most completely gut-wrenching moment in the whole show in Your opinion?

Thanks for the ask. I think the most gut-wrenching thing is Sae-byeok’s death. It has me sobbing every time. The way she had so much life ahead of her, and the way she was willing to help gi-hun if she got out without him.. The way gi-hun reacted, so desperate to help before she was killed and then so vengeful after she died. I genuinely think her death broke him into a million pieces.

The fact her brother has no idea or closure on where she went. He has to go the rest of his life without his sister who took care of him the best she could.

All extremely painful to me.

I love writing sae-byeok because even in a fluffy context she’s still (mostly) cool and collected from external POVs and then her own POV is an opportunity to explore her more vulnerable side, the insecurities she still feels, and how experiences from her past have affected her

I love writing stories where she gets to be happy 💗

making progress on the ‘what was ji-yeong doing when she was offscreen’ fic 💖

She was only in 3 episodes but Ji-yeong really made such an impact for me. She is such an interesting and tragic character. Like we meet her and she is so casual and unbothered by the games where every round she could literally die. And she makes fun of the religios man and tells him that he can pray as much as he wants but he still did what he did and then we learn about her father and then it makes sense. And she asks about Sae-byeok and her family and she suggests telling each other their story because one of them is gonna die anyways but she keeps forgetting about that fact. And then she tells her story and we find out she got abused and was in prison for killing her father but can we really blame her? And she just got out of prison and I feel like she needed this. Telling somebody her story, what happened to her. She suggests they tell each other the things they could never tell anybody else and asks specific questions on purpose, like if Sae-byeok has ever seen a dead body because she knows in return she is going to be asked that same question and she listens and then she tells her own story. And then she loses on purpose for Sae-byeok. And at first she's like "come on let me have my cool moment here" but it's not cool because she's about to die and then in the end she finally shows her emotions and gets sad and says she has nothing to live for, no goals for what she's gonna do if she wins. Sae-byeok was probably the first person she got closer to in a long time and so she dies so that Sae-byeok can go on and I just think for such a small role that was only present in one third of one season making such a big impact is incredible writing and incredible acting too

I just realised that to meet my planned publishing schedule for the upcoming sg serial fic I need to have the prologue and first two chapters finished four weeks from now, pretty much to the day (planned release date is every saturday) plus enough extra material written ahead so that I can stay on track

which means I need the jibyeok and ji-yeong fics done ASAP because I am not a quick writer

so fics will be coming soon!!!!

a world without trans people has never existed and never will
