Gi-hun saw his chance and took it

[latverianvampire]

saw someone compare people hating the fictional, cgi baby in squid game to real babies dying in gaza and that’s just so. weird?

like. this shouldn’t even have to be said but hating a fictional character is nowhere near a current genocide happening in real life and these two things should never even be in the same conversation.

“but that fictional character is a baby!! how can you hate her?!” it’s still just a fictional character, not even a real child actor but a literal cgi.

comparing people hating a fictional, cgi character to real genocide is. weird.

like I get it if you’re uncomfortable about people hating that squid game baby, but the thing about fictional characters is that anyone is allowed to hate any character they want. it’s fiction meant for entertainment. it’s a TV show.

maybe that’s just me and maybe this will upset someone, but comparing people hating a fictional baby to real babies dying in a genocide is still to me a lot weirder than people not liking a fictional character in a TV show.

And if I say I hate that cgi baby and its weak ass pro-life propaganda more than the VIPs then what 👀

“It’s not pro-life if the baby was born in the end” mind you, didn’t they show Junhee at an abortion clinic in s2 before they made her change her mind? Didn’t they make Gihun tell Junhee how precious the baby was and how she (the baby) must be protected at all costs? Didn’t Junhee’s plot armor run out and she died almost as soon as that thang was out of her womb? Didn’t they kill off several beloved characters just so a 1 day old baby could survive since her life was more important than anybody else’s and the entire plot had to shift to make sure she lived? Didn’t the show already have a history of “being against abortion even if it meant a mother died with that thang” (Inho’s wife)? Didn’t the director say the baby was a “new hope”?

That’s poorly disguised pro-life stance they’re trying to subtly feed audiences lmao. Get it tf out of here

Lee Jung-jae, you and Gihun deserved so much better than this shit. I’m so sorry

[latverianvampire]

Front Man Gi-hun would have been a better, more satisfying ending than the shit show we got and I’m done pretending otherwise.

“But Gi-hun won in the end because he didn’t let the game change him and his sacrifice was the message the show gave—” Gi-hun was already suicidal and he tried killing himself before. His plot armor just ran out because the director decided a random cgi baby’s life was worth more than the healing Gi-hun could have had and no, you cannot change my mind. Also yes, the baby was born but there’s a poorly hidden pro life propaganda in the show when they made Jun-hee change her mind at the last minute at the clinic before she could abort that thang. (I believe that was an abortion clinic we saw Jun-hee at in season 2, but I apologize if I’m wrong.)

If you’re a woman in Squid Game, all you’re good for is being a mother and dying for your infant or unborn baby because their life is worth more than yours and everyone else’s, Jun-hee and In-ho’s wife are examples of that.

And no, this has nothing to do with 457 or any ship. This is just a terrible writing decision and a poorly disguised attempt to convey audience how precious babies’ lives are (“please don’t get an abortion 🥺 abortion is bad, these babies are precious and you should be okay with sacrificing your life for them”)

Fuck off. Abort that thang.

Squid Game season 3 was to me an ad for abortion

Gi-hun died for this fucking thing

“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

[latverianvampire]

personal headcanon of mine: Gi-hun doesn’t see the Front Man (not Young-il, Front Man) as a monster. because if he saw Front Man as a monster, that would simply mean everything the Front Man has ever done became meaningless and shallow, since monsters didn’t need a reason to maim or kill.

Gi-hun sees the Front Man as something so much more complicated than a “mindless monster who kills for no reason”.

he sees the Front Man as a human being, a person, which explains why Front Man’s actions both enrage and fascinate Gi-hun at the same time.

because in Gi-hun’s belief, humans are inherently good. The Front Man is a human who is, for some reason Gi-hun does not understand, capable of horror and violence. and while Gi-hun hates him, Gi-hun can’t lie to himself; he is fascinated by the Front Man, and he wants to understand why Front Man does what he does. why the Front Man became the man he is today. what happened to him.

Front Man, in Gi-hun’s belief, is not a monster. but a human being with darkness Gi-hun cannot understand. but that darkness is also what draws Gi-hun to him.

and the way Gi-hun still sees Front Man as a human being is precisely what makes Gi-hun believe there is still good and humanity left in the Front Man, deep down, despite everything the Front Man has done.

and despite everything, a part of Gi-hun refuses to ever give up on trying to get to that humanity buried deep underneath the mask of terror, pain, death and destruction.

despite everything, Gi-hun can’t stop trying to reach for humanity within the Front Man.

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

[latverianvampire]

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:
