love corrupting characters in my fics actually. yeah, that classic 'if it feels good then it can't be that bad' trope where a character knows it is, in fact, that bad. but the sex temptation is too good.

now apply this to enemies to lovers yaoi where an antagonist manipulates and corrupts the protagonist whom he's obsessed with, or the protagonist takes his revenge and counter attacks by manipulating and corrupting the antagonist who's ruined his life, until one of them, while on both knees, crying, goes fuck if it feels good then it can't be that bad.

Inhun fluff. Post game. Post Front Man.

Gi-hun loves horror movies and has been very open about this once he and In-ho got together and Gi-hun felt comfortable living and enjoying life again, this time with a partner too.

In-ho, on the other hand, gets scared while watching a horror movie, contrary to popular belief. He has never told Gi-hun, or anybody, about this, and pretends like he’s not scared when he’s watching something scary with Gi-hun.

But In-ho does flinch during a jump scare scene. He does subtly and smoothly scoot closer to Gi-hun. He won’t outright cover his eyes with his hands and alert Gi-hun of his fear, but he’ll look away from the screen without moving his head, while making sure Gi-hun doesn’t notice anything wrong.

And it’s not like Gi-hun didn’t ask either. Because Gi-hun did ask if In-ho wanted to watch something else instead, he did say that they could watch something else if horror wasn’t for In-ho.

In-ho, of course, said he wasn’t scared. Even went as far as acting like Gi-hun had offended him by suggesting he was scared (he was, but no one could know that).

Until one night, after watching a horror movie, Gi-hun’s woken up by In-ho who quietly, almost like he’s embarrassed, says, “Gi-hun-ssi 🥺 I really need to pee 🥺”

Gi-hun, confused and half asleep, is just “????? you know where the bathroom is. You live here.”

But In-ho just keeps looking at Gi-hun without saying anything like 🥺🥺🥺

Gi-hun: 🤨🤨🤨

In-ho: 🥺🥺🥺

Gi-hun: 🤨🤨🤨

In-ho: 🥺🥺🥺👉🏻👈🏻

Gi-hun: You need me to walk you to the bathroom because you’re scared, don’t you?

In-ho: and stay in the bathroom with me too, Gi-hun-ssi 🥺

Spoiler alert: Gi-hun walks In-ho to the bathroom and holds his hand when he pees. Gi-hun has never been able to say no to In-ho whenever In-ho goes 🥺

I WROTE A FIC ABOUT THIS HERE

“Gi-hun died, but at least his death meant all these characters got to live.” I am going to be very honest and say I don’t give a fuck about these characters who “got to live because Gi-hun killed himself”. Sorry for not caring about side characters when I watch the show for the main characters.

Like. Sure it’s cool they survived because a character who was already suicidal—and had explicitly attempted suicide before—killed himself so a random baby he met a few days ago could live. But you can’t expect audiences to care about random characters, or that cgi baby, when they watch the show for the main characters whom you ruined and butchered in the final season just for some cheap propaganda.

Gi-hun deserved so much better. Lee Jung-jae deserved so much better. No, I won’t shut up about this

They did not make Gi-hun hallucinate Ga-yeong telling her dad to come home to her during sky Squid Game because they knew Gi-hun would never have killed himself if he saw his daughter begging him to come home.

TELL ME YOU SEE IT TOO

[christslamb]

actually I’m never shutting up about this. seong gi-hun, you deserved so much better.

*not saying he should have killed the baby in that final game, just that it was a terrible writing decision

sorry I can't go out with you tonight. I'm an indoor cat

I saw someone write this ending.

I don't remember where I saw it, and the original post and this one might not be exactly the same. I think it was written very briefly on a drama review site, not on twitter or tumblr or reddit.

At the end, Gi-hun says goodbye without saying a word, and just before he falls alone, a voice stops him.

"Player 222 has been eliminated."

Gi-hun approaches the baby in shock. The baby is not breathing, and its face looks as if it is in a deep sleep. The baby has never cried or whined loudly since birth. That cruel environment was not suitable for a baby. Gi-hun falls to his knees and sobs, and the piggy bank fills up with money. He is once again the winner of the squid game.

Not gonna lie, this would have been the depressing ending that could have realistically, tragically and meaningfully delivered this message; ‘most people are brutal, greedy, and the world is a violent place. But despite that, Gi-hun lived and survived, because of his principles and beliefs. He’s wounded and traumatized, just like us, but he lived and he kept on surviving, so should we’.

Which would have been better than having a character, who was already suicidal, die trying and failing to change the world where nothing changed in the end and the good person still died, alone and in pain, in the place that took everything from him.

“What would you do if you played Squid Game and were in Seong Gi-hun’s place?”

Well first of all, as depressed as I am, I don’t consider myself a saint who will die for a random ass baby and 45.6 billion won is 45.6 billion won so
