just saw someone pointing out that gihun and junho switched places in season 3 … in the sense that this time junho became the billionaire and gihun fell.

I know a lot of you are disappointed in Gi-hun's ending, but I think there's a certain beauty in it.

Yes, Gi-hun is dead, but he still lives on. The impact he had on the people whose paths crossed with his isn't gone, even the people he didn't come into direct contact with.

If he hadn't started the rebellion, Gyeong-seok wouldn't be alive, and neither would his daughter.

If he hadn't sacrificed himself to save Jun-hee's baby, No-eul would have killed herself, and she would have never seen her daughter again.

Cheol, too, was reunited with his mother because of Gi-hun, and because of Gi-hun, Sang-woo's mother is not alone.

Yes, he will never know the blessing he brought into these people's lives. But that's true for all of us, you will never know how much you influence other people, how much impact you actually have on other people's lives, even people you never even knew.

And Gi-hun has brought so much positive impact on other people's lives, even without knowing it, and I think that is truly beautiful.

Seong Gi-hun lives on.

Thinking about the werewolf from the hate mail Lemgo council pharmacist David Welman (1595 - 1669) got after being accused of being a werewolf

one thing i really love when fic writers write the confrontation scene is when they make gihun feel immense amounts of hatred towards inho when he first takes his mask off — it’s sudden, strong and it leaves gihun shaking in its intensity.

but then during their conversation (which should’ve been longer in canon bc what was that!!) inho will move a certain way or smile faintly in a way that makes both, his eyes gentle and voice soft and all gihun can see is youngil. because youngil smiled like that at him, youngil spoke to him tenderly.

oh and then inho is really jealous of this fact, even though he was, in more than one aspect, youngil, because he wants gihun to look at him the way he looked at youngil. he wants gihun’s affection, his care sosososo bad. so yeah, he’s just jealous of himself.

i wanna see it on your face

I always see people complain about how unrealistic Jun-hee's childbirth is but I never see anyone complain about how unrealistic the deaths in hide and seek were.

People got stabbed in the stomach once or twice and dropped dead. Do you know how hard it is to actually kill someone by stabbing? It would take minutes if not HOURS for someone to bleed out to death. Unless you manage to cut clean one of the important arteries, but even then it would take minutes to bleed out! Also some red players were stabbing the blues in the chest, do you have any idea how much strength it takes to actually stab through the chest? Especially with a victim that will move and try to defend themselves? (God I sounds like a serial killer, I swear I'm just a true crime junkie 😭😭😭)

But these are not the only unrealistic deaths in Squid Game either. Remember that guy Deok-su beat to death? That's another case where the victim wouldn't just drop dead like that. It would take hours if not DAYS for someone to succumb to their injuries after a beating like that.

I never see anyone complain about that but then when it's childbirth being unrealistic everyone points it out.(And tbh a childbirth can last only five minutes, but that's a rabbit hole I won't go down rn)

one of the things i really do like about the reveal in s3 is inhun’s reactions to one another.

for inho, i really like how his focus is solely on gihun. whenever he speaks, he always says “you and the baby.” “you and the baby.” its always you you you that he focuses on first, although he knows that gihun completely cares more about the baby than his own life and thus trying to say ‘i can save you. i can save you. oh and the baby too.’ may not be the right way to go about his proposition. (take this with a grain of salt though, because i can only talk as far at the subtitles)

now, i’m not saying that inho only cares for gihun and doesn’t care about the baby at all, because its obvious that to some extent, he does care for the baby, even if it may be out of grief fuelled nostalgia. however, the way he phrases his words is definitely worth taking note of, especially since inho’s shown, very very clearly, to only care about gihun and the baby (kind of) and no one else (minus junho!) and be very particular and calculated in the way he speaks.

when he takes off his mask, i adore the way inho is hesitant. as if he doesn’t want to take off the mask and thus shatter the distanced illusion that he has created with gihun. he’s afraid of gihun’s reaction. it’s why i love when he asks “player 456. do you still have faith in people?” because he’s asking about himself. he’s asking if despite everything, he can still be worthy of being saved.

when talking about gihun’s reaction, what i lovelovelove, is that when inho finally shows his face, gihun is just shocked. he only reacts aggressively when inho mentions jungbae, not at the identity reveal itself. even then, his face softens incredibly (props to ljj for conveying so much emotion in a few seconds) despite knowing the unfathomable amount of blood on inho’s hands, especially jungbae’s.

in the first picture, gihun looks righteously furious, and in the second? in the second he looks anguished. he doesn’t look angry as much as he looks devastated because a person he’d liked and trusted had killed his best friend and lied & manipulated him.

look!! gihun’s face softens incredibly, even though he knows that the man in front of him, the man he’d grown to care about had killed his best friend and hundreds of people, he couldn’t stop seeing youngil, the man who just wanted to help his wife. at this point, gihun doesn’t even know if inho’s story was real, and yet he’d come to feel enough affection for inho’s persona, youngil, that he couldn’t bring himself to kill him or hurt him in any way.

also, even as he holds the knife, his hand trembles. i don’t think it’s with the effort to not kill the frontman like ive seen a few people argue — instead, i’d say it’s certainly because he’s hesitant. he’s tired and betrayed and hurt and he still cares for such a man anyway and l that scares him. so much.

‼️SQUID GAME S3 SPOILERS‼️

Bark like you want it animatic (ft. Namgyu)

the squid game brainrot is real i think.

[fntsticbizarre]

this is apparently from a series from 1997 i forgot the title but OMG JJ WITH A BABY 🥺❤️❤️

[fntsticbizarre]

more from the harem

[fntsticbizarre]

inho is more comfortable grieving a person than loving them, so that's why he didnt step in to save gihun. it didnt even occur to him that, quite easily, he could stop the game. he already saw gihun as dead the moment he didnt kill the finalists.

'inho is more comfortable grieving a person than loving them' OH. OH (*muffled sounds of distress*)

anon, I really think you've hit the nail on the head. in-ho had fully resigned himself to gi-hun's death by the fifth episode. after that point, gi-hun only really acted for the baby's sake, not his own, and it was obvious what was going to happen. if in-ho didn't have such a distorted, hopeless view of the world maybe he would've intervened, but allowing gi-hun to go to his death fit the narrative he'd been relying on for years.

I wonder if, in hindsight, he realises the extent to which he enabled gi-hun's sacrifice. if so, it will probably haunt him.

[fntsticbizarre]

The thought that Oh-Ilnam waited till AFTER inhos wife died to give him the knife. Knowing that he’d return to an empty hospital room after abandoning all his morals. It really was all for nothing

[fntsticbizarre]

I think we forget how far In-ho went with his mission to break Gi-hun

Here’s my list of what all I remember him doing:

-purposefully bringing up triggering events (nearly dying at dalgona)

-saying things that would hit Gi-huns sweet spots to make the trust and connection deeper and therefore the betrayal and Gi-hun’s ultimate self-blame for trusting him worse (“i still trust you”)

-constantly challenging his beliefs as Young-il, placing the fear in Gi-hun that if he had just went with what Young-il said or questioned himself further, they wouldn’t be where they were.

-toying with him in the games to make him fear death/test his morality and patience.

-making him seem weak (“thats enough”)

-making him seem untrustworthy by causing the attention to be on Gi-hun’s knowledge of the first games, but having the second game be different

-taking away one of the two people he had left in his life. the ONLY hope he really had. right in front of him

-bringing him out in a coffin both to serve as humiliation and a lesson that his life was not in his hands anymore. he wasn’t a hero, just another player

-hanging the rebels dead bodies.

-not letting Gi-hun die despite how much he wanted to. he needed to accomplish breaking him first

-chaining him up and taunting him about not being allowed to vote

-identity reveal being of a very trusted friend
