Update - Rin's 2025 Hyperfixation Log (2)

Hello! It's Rin - I made this Tumblr account to track all of fandom hyperfixations throughout 2025. And I wanted to give an update that...

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAS CHANGED LOL. I am STILL happily fixating on 457 (since Season 2 dropped), but I feel we did need to add something to the list as an extension of this hyperfixation - I also have been fixated on Lee Jung Jae and his filmography, as you can see from the additions to the banner lol. My goal has been to watch 10 films of his before season 3, and I hope to write some reviews or thoughts on all of them at some points!

So...

Rin's 2025 Fandom Hyperfixation Log:

457 - Gihun and In-ho from Squid Games

Lee Jung Jae (+ his filmography + cheongdam couple) - yes, I went on the full rabbit hole and watched through so many youtube clip and interviews XD

*Lee Byung Hun's filmography tasting will come after season 3 lol - I have a few things I do really want to watch of his as well ^w^

As I said last time... I feel I will be fixated on these two for quite sometime. Hopefully, I will actually be creative with my fixation before the next update. XD Stay tuned? soon?

(also would love to see other people track or comment their hyperfixations of this year - it makes for a really interesting thing to look back on!)

"Forgiveness"

Well, tell me how you came to such a life. Youngil. Oh Ilnam at least introduced himself by his real name

[rins-fandomfixations]

Soooo soooo cute! After seeing the interviews and the S3 photos and trailer, I'm just eating up all the fan content where the frontman needs some comforting (despite it all LOL)

and the suits 😭

those pictures of inhun wearing their player suits has rotted my brain so much

[rins-fandomfixations]

woosung punching the air rn 😭😭😭

[rins-fandomfixations]

Ahhhhhh... so pookie. >w<

I really hope they are still working and developing the Ray series. I would love to see more fabulous outfits and jj playing this character again.

Hamtaro Ribbon Collection

Release Date: June 2025

Distributor: Daiso and Seria

A new collaboration has been announced and oh man does Japanese Twitter seem conflicted! A huge selection of new merch will appear at Daiso and Seria locations across Japan next month! These are 100 yen stores (think of a dollar store if your country has one) with usually pretty good quality items. Including tax, each item costs 110 yen, which if you did the math would come out to 11550 yen (or around 80 USD at the current rate). Everyone seemed happy with that price! Except.....it's sounds like most of the items are in blind boxes...and you can't buy a case to make sure you don't get duplicates....

With how much hamtaro merch we're getting I think we can all agree that we're facing blind bag fatigue, and Japanese Twitter is not happy about the fact they may need to spend more money to hopefully get the character they want.

The collab contains the following items: zipper pouches, contacts case, compact mirrors, clear files, stickers, washi tape, mini Drawstring bags, rubber key chains, enamel key chains, die cut stickers, acrylic stands, alligator clips (Hair clips? Bag clips?? Who knows), and cord holders. I am assuming anything with more than two variants will be in blind bags.

And like sure it's only 110 yen, but the economy isn't great right now, if people can't buy by the case then there's going to be a huge shortage in merch and a rise in resellers...and no one wants to be dealing with that while trying to keep afloat financially. It's a 100 yen shop, we should be able to just buy the character we want for that price...

Either way this is a super cute set and I'm extremely jealous that I WONT BE THERE FOR IT. I had been waiting for 5 years to be in Japan during the 25th anniversary and I couldn't go in April and I may not be able to go at any point this year 😭😭😭

Every ship, every oc - thinking about characters I love being sweet and tender with each other always gets me going (in the feels). There's just something intimate about finding quiet sweet/tender moments amongst the chaos (of w/e story is being formed) that is just so chef's kiss.

thinkign about characters i like being sweet and tender with each other

Love to see I wasn't the only one thinking of them when listening to this song 😭. Literally was the song I had on repeat a few months ago when I was in the 457 brainrot rabbit hole (as if I'm still not here 😅)

if i could begin to be half of what you think of me... i could do about anything, i could even learn how to love like you - rebecca sugar

😭 Gihun deserves EVEN more affirmation and appreciation!!!

UHHH I am so unready for season 3... poor baby, I just want him to be loved and appreciated, but he looks like he is going to go through even more torment and void in this last season.

Gi-hun + hearing words of affirmation

[rins-fandomfixations]

Was watching the behind the scenes video of JJ's Perplexity AI (on the Artist Company's channel), and I kept noticing how the lights made his hair red in certain angles, and of all I could think about was...

IT'S RED HAIR GIHUN!!! HE'S BACK! ٩(ᗒᗨᗕ)۶

[rins-fandomfixations]

He’s sus

[rins-fandomfixations]

This whole photoshoot/ad for squid game 2 was so cute; and they must have KNOWN what they were doing with them gazing at each other and smiling. My 457 heart 💖

[rins-fandomfixations]

This man has completely enchanted me ✨

Have y'all, um. Have y'all seen this?

[rins-fandomfixations]

This is so darn accurate 😂 That's wild (and great photoshopping!)

i thought i recognised gi-hun's expression from somewhere

“I miss Gihun” i say, as if I know him personally and have fond memories of sharing laughs and profound conversations on my porch during the summer months with a glass of sweet tea in both of our hands

[rins-fandomfixations]

I don't know if anyone has already made this meme, but I've seen everyone compare him stuffing his cheeks like a hamster or squirrel, and it's too true and too cute - Ham-ham Gihun 🐹

I only see a hamster whenever someone posts this picture XD

Oh how I miss you, Ham-ham Gihun 🐹
