sang-woo during tug of war
Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say don’t pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying “oh I shouldn’t get too many books out at once” but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject you’re interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesn’t matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever they’re due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments don’t want to fund more books if they’re not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you can’t read them all!
Sangihun is so special to me because the only life Sangwoo valued other than his own was Gihun’s and while that’s technically morally wrong, he’s also not wrong for having his priorities in a death game.
I just find it so endearing how he was willing to do anything it took to get out of there with Gihun, even if it meant getting his hands bloody. He was already feeling guilt from breaking the law and being on the run from the police, he wasnt sadistic, he was desperate. If he didnt feel like he had to betray and kill other people, he most likely wouldnt have.
But it was all for him. For Gihun.
But Cam, he fought Gihun in the last game.
Yes. That’s true, and I think its because he felt Gihun deserved to let his feelings of resentment out on him. Sangwoo knew he looked like the bad guy to Gihun at that point, so he wanted Gihun to let all his aggression out. He also knew that if he didnt play or fight Gihun, the guards would kill them both. And Sangwoo didn’t want that.
Sangwoo knew he did morally wrong things, and that he deserved anything Gihun could throw at him. After all, some of those people were Gihun’s friends. He felt so much guilt and shame up to this point that he was fine with whatever punches Gihun could throw.
It wasn’t a fight against Gihun. It was a fight for Gihun.
When Sangwoo lied there on the ground, sopping wet and tired from the fight, he was already thinking about all the ways he had made Gihun upset and all the sins he had committed. There was no way he could’ve lived with himself knowing he hurt his first love to this degree, even if his intentions were to save them both.
Anyway, sangihun rant of the day. Im SICK of these two
Chat, what did we think was going on in Gihun’s head in s2e1 when he got back to his hotel and found the recruiter/the salesman waiting for him?
As soon as he comes in and sees him looking at the calendar, his expression is tense and scared. A second later it relaxes and he goes about his business, toweling himself off from the rain like he isn’t at all concerned about the gun in the other’s mind.
Did he expect the Frontman to have stepped out of his nightmares? Does he see the recruiter/the salesman drinking his lil yogurt with a straw and decide he isn’t a threat?
I think something else is happening; something I think about a lot with Gihun. I think he thinks the recruiter/the salesman cannot kill him.
I think one of the manifestations of his trauma, one of the adaptive delusions he’s embraced to keep himself afloat through all the grief and guilt and misery, is that the games can’t kill him. Not until he’s done with them.
I think he thinks he’s destined to end the games and ignores any fear or common sense of his own mortality.
Because if he cannot end the games, it means the hundreds of deaths, including those of Saebyeok and Sangwoo, are meaningless.
I think he physically cannot accept that nor his own powerlessness, and that he’s been driven to a point where fear of death cannot reach him past his dedication to his mission.
I think we see this delusion really calcify in the scene where he plays roulette with the recruiter/the salesman, and I love that that’s how the season presents Gihun’s current mindset.
Happy International Women’s Day!

people should understand the absolute joy in just wondering about whatever the fuck In-ho and Jun-ho could do because they are siblings. Like In-ho could've one day just thought of dropkicking his younger brother who's entering his teenage rebellion years and told In-ho he looked like a grandfather even in his mid thirties. There might have been a time where they were tickling each other and laughing and In-ho stopped because he realised he's a grown ass man and Jun-ho made fun of him for it which got him a smack on the head. In-ho could've accidentally thrown out Jun-ho's favourite pair of shoes and Jun-ho nearly pulls out his brother's hair as he's complaining about what a terrible older brother In-ho is for doing that and In-ho lets him. They would have the "no don't cry you can hit me back just don't tell eomma" moments
This was young sangihun btw, and honestly how in the world did we expect Sangwoo to get over THAT.
I have this headcanon of Gi-hun being super popular back in High School because of his charming personality and good looks, and Sangwoo being equally as beautiful but not as confident like gi-hun was, yk? And people around them could not for the life of them figure out how two people that different could spend so much time in each other’s company

‼️TW: SUICIDE, BLOOD, GUN‼️
Sorry for this
Gi-hun missing the point of the joke
Me: “You’re funny, I’m following you home”
Gi-hun: “Following me home? What do you mean? You can’t come with me… you have your own home.”
yall give me your favorite Hwang Bros centric fics (like their relationship)
greatly appreciated if there's no Inhun, or any other ship. I want suffering. I want the doomed siblings
radiohead and sangihun don’t do this to meee😭😭😭

Forgot to post
You ever think about how Sangwoo looked so irritated when Gihun invited Ilnam to join their group? Yes it was probably because his age made him a liability but Gihun also didn’t offer much to the table but that didn’t matter to Sangwoo. He still wanted to play the games with him. And when he chose to stay silent about the dalgona, it was probably in hopes of getting rid of Ilnam, and you can see the instant regret in Sangwoo’s eyes when Gihun takes the umbrella instead.
Do you ever think that maybe there was a small part of Sangwoo that partnered up with Ali in marbles not just because he thought he would make a better partner but also because he wanted to spite Gihun for allowing someone to intrude in between them?

SQUID GAME "O X"
so reall, i think sang-woo would’ve won if gi-hun wasn’t there, but i don’t think he would’ve gone back after winning
Do you ever think about what would have happened if Jungbae had just given Gihun some money? What could have happened if Saebyeok had never stolen the money from the horse bet? What if Gihun would have never had a reason to join the games in the first place? Without Gihun Sangwoo would have been the one to win, I'm certain of it. The only time Gihun helped anyone in s1 was during Dalgona and Sangwoo already knew what the game was because of Saebyeok, so he didn't need him to win. Everything else he would have mastered, similarly to how Inho probably played and won his games back in 2015. Gihun would have lived, so would have Jungbae and Sangwoo. But at what prize? This brings me to another thought I had. Do we know how long Inho has been the front man? Personally, I don't think that Inho immediately went back to the games to become the front man, I think he had a similar story as Gihun, coming back to society, realizing his wife and child were already dead and then locking himself up in his appartment. I can really see him frantically buying and reading philosophy books, never leaving his stuffy room, slowly going mad, not understanding, how this could happen to him, wanting to contact Junho but being too scared of breaking down, being too scared to look his baby brother in the eye after witnessing and causing so much horror (with those same eyes). And then at some point someone slips a card underneath his door. And he goes back because he has nowhere else to go. Very, very similar to Sangwoo joining the games again after previously having wanted to kill himself. With a sort of "If I die during this then so be it" attitude, not enough fighting spirit left to try and do anything against the games like Gihun would do. This brings me back to Sangwoo. If Sangwoo had won the games I am fairly certain that he would have ended up in the exact same position. I don't think Inho would have had the same reaction to Sangwoo winning as he did with Gihun, he wouldn't have told him to go back to his life and use the money he was given, Sangwoo and Inho are far too similar, Sangwoo's behavior far too brutal to spark any inspiration in Inho. And the next thing Sangwoo would hear is a loud knock on the door and then he'd find another cardboard card. I believe Sangwoo would have been contacted to be the next front man. And Inho would have rose to the next higher step becoming the new boss of the games. And the cycle of trauma goes on and on and on.
Hi! Thanks for the ask. Sorry for the wait. I hope this answer is what you wanted. I liked to hear what you had to say.
I am going to number this so it is easier to answer. 1. Do you ever think about what would have happened if Jungbae had just given Gihun some money? What could have happened if Saebyeok had never stolen the money from the horse bet? What if Gihun would have never had a reason to join the games in the first place?
I think about this all the time. Everything would be SO different. A lot of winners probably wouldn't have had the same reaction he had.
2. Sangwoo winning.
I definitely believe Sang-woo would have won if Gi-hun wasn't there as well. That was his biggest problem, as he had the intelligence and skill to get super far. It was difficult for him to kill Gi-hun because he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for that. Before that, Sang-woo was willing to do absolutely anything to survive and win.
3. How long Inho has been the front man?
I personally think that In-ho also had it similar to Gi-hun, at first being a zombie of a man. It hurts to think of him going crazy and isolating himself. It was likely some months or maybe a year after that In-ho was asked to be the frontman. I like to think he has been frontman for some years before 2021. I say that he was only missing in 2021 because he had to go away to do his job, and at that point didn't want to endanger his family anymore so probably cut all contact. That or he only became frontman in 2021. Either could be true.
Slipping a card underneath the door would be pretty in character for them. I also imagine Il-nam personally talking to him to recruit him. He pretty much has already lost himself and all hope in humanity, so the job doesn't scare him nor does dying.
4. Sangwoo would have ended up as the frontman.
I don't think In-ho would be very interested in Sang-woo either, as Sang-woo likely wouldn't do the same things Gi-hun had. Gi-huns resistance is what I think made him so fascinated. Sang-woo may have been traumatized and felt guilty at times, but he probably would have convinced himself that the games were unstoppable and wouldn't feel the need to save people as much as Gi-hun did.
Sang-woo might have been contacted to partake in the games again except as a soldier or frontman, or another role like that. I am not sure why they cared to ask In-ho to be frontman, so maybe they ask a lot of winners they see could fit the role. They might respect his intelligence, willingness to survive, and ability to be apathetic at times.
Except, would he want to do that? He did all that he did because he simply wanted to survive and succeed. He wanted to fix all that he fucked up. I don't think he would have any reason to join after. He would be able to face his mom and would be able to find a new job. He could hide from the police or simply pay everything off. After that, he would have more to live for. Also, it takes someone with almost a complete lack of empathy and humanity. That is not Sang-woo, even if he is morally gray.
despite everything....it's.......still you..?
