I love how much character he has but it's sad how under appreciated it is </3

Little Canon Gi-hun Things I See Underrepresented In Fanon:

-References to his time as a factory worker / mechanic building cars - he most likely worked on a factory line, building specific skills and muscle memory that probably stayed with him forever

-This would likely affect how he thinks and how he sees the world - ex, does he conceptualize problems as mechanical parts that he's trying to build into a functional machine? Maybe that's why he thinks he can stop the games... he knows how to make machines, surely he can dismantle one (he thinks)

-And so: KNOWS HIS WAY AROUND A CAR. He likes cars! He built them for over a decade and drove professionally on and off afterwards. One of the only things he actually spent money on after the games... was a car. Gi-hun is a car guy! I wish we saw that more.

-His identity as a dad is SO important to him - I see this discussed in reference to Jun-hee's baby of course, but we saw Gi-hun’s attachment to this part of his identity and place in society from S1 ("Why do you keep calling him the kids' dad? I'm Ga-yeong's dad!")

-Building off the above: a huge part of Gi-hun’s identity and personhood is a desire to CARE FOR people. Not just care about them, which he also does a lot, but care FOR them.

-He's probably a good cook, actually. Both of Gi-hun’s business ventures were food places, and we can tell how much he enjoys food in general, how much it means to him. Personally I think it's likely that he's a really decent chef, when he has the chance, and it was his financial incompetence that drove the businesses to the ground. I often see In-ho portrayed as the better cook but I think it's probably the other way around.

-He tells the Recruiter that he grew up in a Buddhist household, which I don't think I've EVER seen represented in fic (not that he strikes me as overly religious, but surely that cultural structure would remain within the framework of his inner life somehow)

-He's MANIPULATIVE. Listen I love our sweet innocent baby but he's not all innocent. When he wants or needs to be, he can be as manipulative as In-ho. (Ex: whining at his mom until she gave him more money; causing Deok-su to question his men's trustworthiness)

-He's an opportunistic little liar who will sometimes say whatever he thinks he needs to; see: telling Sae-byeok he'll forget about the money if she unties him and then immediately hopping after her dwmanding it back anyway. Again: he's the SWEETEST little bean but he's ALSO a little shit.

-His neighborhood is a huge part of him and who he is. He mentions Ssangmun-dong every chance he gets in S1. In fact, he says it so much that Ali thinks it's his name! (He also associates it a lot with Sang-woo, the pride of Ssangmun-dong, and I rarely ever see Gi-hun get to mourn his old connection with his childhood neighborhood after it's forever associated with what he lost.)

-Gi-hun’s knee-jerk reaction to trouble is to call for help. He asks people for help all the time. The lady at the kiosk who gave him back his bill. Screaming to the guards when Deok-su threatened him. He's a team player (see: working as part of a team at Dragon Motors!). Being independent or a leader isn't something intuitive to him; he had to learn and grow into that to do what needed to be done.

-This man has the common sense and survival skills of a rock. Got pickpocketed by Sae-byeok and gave her soda back... including the straw that fell on the ground already smh... Asks Kim Jeong-rae (the loan shark who wanted to DRINK HIS BLOOD AS A SOUP like thirty seconds ago) for a loan... IMMEDIATELY after that same man threatened his LIFE for owing him money... bud...

-The TEMPER this man has on him. Flashbang. He runs HOT.

-He's SUPERSTITIOUS which I think is weirdly cute?? It's mostly centered around his gambling (less cute) but he attributes meaning and significance to numbers and other things - I WISH I got to see Gi-hun’s weird little superstitions more in fanon!
