Gi-hun died for this fucking thing

#Justice for Seong Gi-hun

“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

TELL ME YOU SEE IT TOO

[godslaughters]

you're telling me a pink guard, whose relationship with a player was briefly shown as a subplot, could safely save and remove the player from the island and send him back to the mainland alive. while the front man, whose relationship with gihun is supposed to be "the heart of the show", did nothing but watch gihun with teary eyes the entire time and just let gihun kill himself?

after the director confirmed there was still humanity left in inho? after lee byung-hun said gihun made inho feel a slight wavering of heart, that inho saw himself in gihun and that inho was rooting for gihun?

(byung-hun, I'm so sorry they did your character so dirty. I know how much you love inho and everything you said about him and gihun is what should have been in the show. jung-jae, I'm so sorry gihun was done so dirty too. you both deserve so much better.)

netflix's a jerk for promoting season 3 as 'the clash between gihun and frontman' when gihun and frontman had one scene together that lasted 2 minutes and the rest was just frontman looking at gihun with teary eyes.

would have been so much better if s3 was about inho saving and removing gihun from the game, them actually talking and further developing their dynamics (wouldn't even have to be in a romantic way).

don't get me wrong, I love all the other characters and their stories too, and I'm glad noeul was able to save that player, but it's a terrible idea to shift the focus of the third season to all the side characters and their subplots. because now the two main characters whom netflix promote so heavily were overshadowed to the point they became the side characters instead.

and both of their characters were written so... I don't even know what the fuck that was.

[godslaughters]

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

[godslaughters]

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.

Say what you want, but In-ho definitely had a type 👀

❝In-ho genuinely wants Gi-hun to stop being so stubborn.❞ — Lee Byung-hun on how In-ho feels about Gi-hun in ‘Squid Game in Conversation’ after Gi-hun refused to take In-ho’s advice and kill the other finalists in their sleep, which led to his death

❝You see, my wife is stubborn. I’ve never been able to change her mind about anything.❞ — In-ho talking about his wife to Gi-hun after she refused to listen to him and terminate the pregnancy, which led to her death

Ooooh this man clearly has a type. Stubborn and dead

[godslaughters]

I love golden retriever!Gi-hun with all my heart, but what if he instead of a dog, Gi-hun actually transforms into a horse? A beautiful, black horse with a very long and slightly wavy mane.

Jun-ho just stares in awe at him, slowly raising his hand to touch his soft mane, because woah. Gi-hun just let's him do it, too focused staring directly at In-ho.

And In-ho...

In-ho presses his lips together hard because that sarcastic comment is at the tip of his tongue. It's too good to be true. But he knows it'll piss Gi-hun off so bad if he says it, so he tries his best to stay quiet.

Apparently, Gi-hun can read his mind because he just keeps staring at In-ho with his new deep black eyes, practically daring him to say it. His tail wags from one side to the other rather quickly, like he's already pissed off.

In-ho has to remind himself that Gi-hun's has been kind enough to let him and Jun-ho stay at his motel for free, despite everything that has happened. He shouldn't screw this up too.

And yet...

In-ho trying his very best and doing everything in his power not to Say. It. because he doesn’t want to get kicked in the balls by a full grown ass horse:

*I stole this handsome Byung-hun meme from @yellowwwcrayon by the way

Most of Squid Game fanfic writers pre season 3 were right when they wrote fics about In-ho removing Gi-hun from the game after the rebellion and keeping him his personal prisoner where they actually talked and their dynamics were actually explored further. And Gi-hun lived. Because yeah that is a thousand times better than In-ho sending Gi-hun back in the game and doing nothing but looking at him through the screen with teary eyes the entire time. Bonus, I guess, that one conversation with Gi-hun that lasted 2 minutes in the entire season that was promoted as “the clash between In-ho and Gi-hun” 🤡

Like how did Netflix fuck it up so bad? 😭 Man, there’s something very shitty about the writing decision of your show if the majority of your own fans all collectively think of and prefer a different route.

Like before the teaser of season 3 we all collectively assumed In-ho would NOT send Gi-hun back to the game. Because that would just be stupid and terrible. And it is.

Squid Game fanfic writers, please never stop writing fics about In-ho removing Gi-hun from the game after the rebellion. Y’all are doing a far better job than canon. Y’all are amazing

Since I have a fucked up sense of humor

After Gi-hun jumped off the platform and In-ho detonated the bomb, In-ho went to see Gi-hun (like in canon) and found that Gi-hun was still alive.

Jun-ho arrived and In-ho shouted at him to help him carry Gi-hun to the boat before the fire got to him.

All three of them — In-ho, Jun-ho and an unconscious Gi-hun — made it out of the island. Alive. As the island burnt down behind them.

In-ho, with Jun-ho by his side, got Gi-hun medical help. Although In-ho kept feeling like he forgot something, he just didn't know what.

Three days later, In-ho was sleeping on an armchair next to Gi-hun's hospital bed, where Gi-hun was, when suddenly In-ho jerked awake and thought, shit, I forgot the baby.

[godslaughters]

I’m sorry but people who call others “psychopaths” for jokingly saying Gi-hun should have yeeted the damn CGI baby off the platform are just so… funny to me.

Do y’all know the baby is… CGI? It’s not even a real baby? And it’s a fucking TV show????

Like if you think making memes about a damn fictional CGI baby being yeeted off the pillar makes someone a psychopath in real life, I think it’s you that may be having a problem idk

Might I suggest watching some slasher movies? Terrifier is a good start. I hear Art the Clown is extremely good with kids

Gi-hun proving In-ho wrong by saving In-ho against In-ho’s will and showing In-ho that people are good, that Gi-hun is the proof that people are good, that even after everything In-ho puts him though, Gi-hun still refuses to let In-ho turn him into another masked monster.

Gi-hun proving In-ho wrong by saving In-ho’s life in the end and showing In-ho that, even after everything In-ho has done, Gi-hun still doesn’t see him as a monster but a person who’s been wronged and is wounded. (The mask is the monster, the Front Man is the symbol of a monster. But In-ho is not; In-ho is a person, wounded and lost, but still a person.)

Gi-hun guiding In-ho back towards the right path where, instead of sacrificing himself and dying, In-ho gets to live and heal because of Gi-hun’s faith in people.

I wrote a fic about this here!
