#squid's recs

[squidsponge]

Hi! I saw the question you already answered about Padmé's Geonosis outfit but would you consider making some other outfit of hers? Any of them would make me so so happy, they are all so pretty.

Hi, thanks for your ask!

I've been juggling a lot of WIPs and health issues, so it will be awhile, but I am working on a couple of her outfits and a headpiece from ROTS! I'd definitely like to make more headwear for her since finding Padmé reminiscent accessories is much trickier than dresses, but key to her look.

In the meanwhile, @sifix on TSR has a lot of amazing outfits that are great for Padmé and regal Star Wars characters in general (especially Satine), as well as her lovely night gown from ROTS if you don't already have it.

This dress isn't an official Padme oufit, so it won't come up in searches, but is quite reminiscent of her ombre dress from AOTC.

This version isn't a halter neck, but does have detached sleeves like her AOTC dress.

And this robe has nice AOTC lake retreat nightgown vibes.

I highly recommend digging through their CC for more! Hope this helps :)

One last talent show to save the rec center

Ok everybody here's the deal.

My science education nonprofit, Skype a Scientist (you might know her, creator of the squid facts hotline and matcher of classrooms + scientists) has secured absolutely no grants to support general operations for 2025. But! We're selling advent calendars to fund our program! They absolutely rule. They can save our nonprofit asses. If we sell 5000, which I realize, is so many, we can fund our program for 2025. Then I can offer a bunch of programming for free. Running a nonprofit is a weird job.

Every day, counting down to frankly whatever you want (it's usually Christmas, but man, maybe you want to count down to Halloween, that's fine by me) scratch off the sparkly sparkly iridescence and reveal a fact about frogs! We have 24 top-notch frog facts here.

You should get one for every kid in your life, then get one for all the adults who still let themselves access joy in critters.

Gently slides a copy of Son of Dathomir onto everybody's dash. It's a quick read that picks up where we left off when Sidious was cackling over his grieving former apprentice and leads right into the Siege of Mandalore.

The arc was meant for TCW, but they opted to dedicate four episodes to the Martez sisters in S7 instead of Maul or Ventress (separate arcs, for clarity) and turned this story into into a graphic novel. It will have you staring at the wall for a little while after, but in a devastating way, not an 'I dumped the spice' way. Highly recommend.

I feel like Star Wars missed the opportunity to make Darth Maul and Count Dooku beef. Like all there’s this conversation about Maul and Kenobi’s relationship but imagine being Count Dooku and you gotta live with the fact that the mf who killed your Padawan (one of the events that ended up making you align yourself with the Sith) is alive and living his best life. I would be so pissed. Sidious had to tell Count Dooku not to fuck with Maul bc I refuse that Dooku had no want to slide for Qui Gon Jinn

Kang Daeho NSFW Audio

Warnings: NSFW audio

A/N: as soon as I heard this audio I instantly thought of Daeho

Imagine - you and Daeho had finally left the games. You’d met while you were both stuck in that nightmare place and the friendship between you became instant, as well as with the rest of your team. Since leaving, you and Daeho have been inseparable, neither of you can sleep alone and so Daeho has been staying at yours ever since. It has always been platonic between you until one night changes everything.

any 457 fic recs?

In-ho x Gi-hun fic recs

credits to the respective authors! ♡

*some of them are wholesome fluff, but some may contain topics that can be triggering, taboo and considered “dark theme” in nature; so after tapping the links, make sure you read the tags first (actually, since I'm a sucker for whump, spicy and fucked up stuff, most of them are 'dead dove do not eat', so be warned)

Overthrown

Seong Gi-hun isn't the only enemy the Front Man has. It takes him too long to realize that.  Or, Front Man's right hand man, the Officer, with the help of the Soldiers, plans to take him down. And In-ho has been too blind to see the betrayal coming.  (Ironic enough, it turns out the one who's too trusting isn't Gi-hun.)

Obedience and Oblivion (NSFW)

Dragged back into the shadows of the games, Gi-hun finds himself bound not just by chains but by the quiet, unnerving pull of the man who holds him captive. The Front Man offers him comfort wrapped in control, tenderness laced with possession. As lines blur between survival and submission, freedom and desire, Gi-hun must decide: will he rise above, or let himself fall deeper into the arms of the enemy?

and I found love where it wasn't supposed to be, right in front of me

"Young-il was a good person. He was my friend. And you killed him because all he wanted was to save his family."

"Gi-hun —" In-ho quickly stopped and shut his mouth when he realized he was letting it slip. He's Player 456 to you now, and you're not Young-il anymore, warned the voices in his head.

You're the Front Man and he's Player 456. Young-il and Gi-hun are no more. And that ache, the sudden surge of pain in In-ho's chest, In-ho could never seem to understand.

all I worship and adore (NSFW)

After the tenth year anniversary of his wife's death, In-ho decided it was time for him to feel something else that wasn't grief. He found himself in a shady brothel with a companion of an overly friendly, overly awkward sex worker named Seong Gi-hun. (It's fine, right? It's merely physical pleasure and nothing more. This does not mean you're betraying her, it does not mean you're moving on, or so In-ho told himself.)

loving you is a losing game

Gasping and gurgling and choking on his own blood, In-ho's eyes remain fixated on Gi-hun and Jun-ho.

Mister Right

“Hwang Inho,” His assailant introduced stiffly and rattled off a lengthy sequence of numbers. “Eh?” They’d given Gihun something for the pain and it was making him a little dizzy. “My name and badge number,” The man said, his jaw clenched tight as he advised, “you should lodge a formal complaint to the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency when you are able to walk, sir.” “Oh…ok.” “Did you remember what I just said?” Gihun’s head lolled. He blinked groggily at the figure dressed in all black. “Are you my nurse? This needle in my arm hurts. Could you blow on it?” The man didn’t move. “Please?” He whined, blinking back tears.

One Way Ticket (NSFW)

Gi-hun arrives in a foreign land brimming with hope and dreams of starting a new life with the woman he’s convinced is his soulmate. But when things start to unravel, and the truth of his situation becomes painfully clear, he finds himself at the mercy of a stranger—Hwang In-ho, a man who sees opportunity in Gi-hun’s desperation.

Final Game

In which In-ho tries running away from his own self, his guilt, doubt and feelings. (Gi-hun is handcuffed to a bed, yet In-ho finds himself the one in chains, unable to run away.)

Material Girl

“I’m not a prostitute,” The man sitting in the small plastic chair opposite Junho’s work desk repeated. Junho glanced up from the arrest form he was filling out on his computer and studied him. Seong Gihun, age forty-three, resident of Ssangmun-dong. The system showed his only living relative to be his elderly mother. There were numerous citations on file for money issues mostly, but no prostitution. Oh, and today was his birthday. “Officer,” the man said, wringing his hands like an old woman and rocking in his seat, “I swear.” Junho took his fingers off the keyboard and crossed them over his desk. “Ajusshi, I have you on video without your pants in a popular love hotel.”

dead (for a little while) (NSFW)

Gi-hun loses the next game.

Strangely, they don't kill him.

like a good, good dog (NSFW)

"Come on," Thanos — Player 230 — said, "I see the way you look at him and the way he looks at you. A blind person could see you've been yearning for each other. Don't look at me like that, I'm just doing you both a favor here."

"What did you just say?" Gi-hun asked.

"You heard me. Fuck 001. Or die."

In a Truth or Dare game, Gi-hun landed himself with the most absurd dare. In-ho realized the price of his undercover mission may be higher than he thought when he was getting fucked at his own game. Figuratively and literally.

Alternative Universe where no one gets hurt.

Forgotten Vows (NSFW)

Gi-Hun wakes up with a wedding ring on his finger.

Dirty Business (NSFW)

Gi-hun sucks In-ho’s dick while he watches the chaos unfold.

Facilitated Karma

VIPs kind of get whatever they want, here- so when one of them orders to have Gi-hun for a night, In-ho has to comply.

Gi-hun doesn't get the memo.

All Your Pieces (NSFW)

After the failed rebellion, he dissociates on the Frontman's floor.

pick up your stitches (better than your riches) (NSFW)

Gi-hun just looks at him in silence for a moment, studying his frame intently. “How do you live with yourself?"

“I don’t know.”

When he leans in, it’s slow and deliberate. It’s like he’s showing his hands. Begging Gi-hun to squint and pretend they’re clean.

“You can tell me no,” he reminds him. Miraculously, Gi-hun just nods.

Or: Gi-hun and the Frontman meet after the games are through.

wrap my name across your mouth when i let my feelings down (NSFW)

“You haven’t eaten all day,” In-ho reminds him, a note of desperation in his voice. “Let me feed you, Gi-hun.”

Gi-hun’s eyes are unfocused and bloodshot, he notices. There are dark circles underneath them. In-ho chastises himself for not considering the fact that his companion might be sleep deprived.

“Uh, yeah,” Gi-hun awkwardly rubs at his neck with his right hand. “I could eat.”

in the flow of things

“That’s my fish,” Inho snaps, taking a step closer. His voice echoes through the narrow space, sharp with rage. The man chuckles softly. “I mean… define 'your' fish.” Inho blinks, momentarily stunned by the audacity. “Are you serious? You stole it. You've been stealing my fish.” “Borrowing,” the man corrects, raising his finger. “Relocating is the better word, actually. You keep buying more anyway, so I figured-” “Relocating? Are you serious right now?” Inho's voice rises, disbelief flooding his system. He stalks closer, fists clenched. “You’ve been breaking into my apartment and stealing my fish like it’s some kind of hobby?”

or Five times Inho came home to an empty fishbowl, and the one time he finally caught the culprit.

let's drift away in fits of pleasure (NSFW)

Fronting a secret killing game while also taking place in said game was difficult as expected, but the most unexpected inconvenience was that of sneaking out every night to return to In-ho's office. He resorted to excusing himself to the bathroom for long hours during lights out and hoping the others didn’t bother to ask in the haze of their exhaustion.

It was Gi-hun that pushed the boundaries, as he should have learned to expect these days.

Nightmares

Chapter 1: Gihun gets a nightmare and I Inho takes care of him Chapter 2: Inho gets a nightmare and trys to hide it from Gihun because he thinks he deserves to get them

TO YOUR SWEET NOTHING

"You’re up early,” came the dry, familiar voice of In-ho beside Gi-hun. “Early?” Gi-hun snorted, glancing at the clock on the bedside table. “It’s almost nine. You call that early?” In-ho grunted, shifting slightly but making no move to get up. “It is when you’ve spent years sleeping with one eye open,” he murmured, his voice muffled by the pillow.

Or, a soft lazy morning between Inho and Gihun

Would You Still Love Me?

In-ho turned back to his microscope, clearly done with the conversation, but his lips twitched into a smile. “Speaking of worms…” “Oh, please no,” Gi-hun groaned. Nothing sane or understandable ever followed that phrase. “Would you still love me if I were a worm?” “Why are you even asking this?” Gi-hun demanded. “Do you plan on turning into a worm?” His eyes widened in mock horror. “Oh my god, did you sign up for some kind of freaky experiment?”

Or, "Would you still love me if I was a worm?" fic featuring Gi-hun and In-ho!

This is some art from my fic The Winners Take it All on AO3

It’s a post cannon fic where Gi-hun is the sole survivor of the 33th edition and the Frontman make a deal with him. Train under him as a future co-Frontman or he will kill his dear friend Young-il.

This fic explores how Gi-hun could let himself be corrupt by the Games, to finally embrace his new position as a Frontman.

Can you make Ahsoka's Season 1 outfit and Padme's geonosis outfit both clawed and full

Hi, thank you for your ask!

Ahsoka's Tales of the Jedi early clone wars oufit is something I would like to add to my to do list, but I'm not planning on making the original tube top outfit.

I won't be making Padme's arena oufit as there are already two of them out there, but as a warning if you go hunting on google for the torn outfit or other Padme CAS. There's a fair bit of it out there, but most of it is by the same creator and can only be accessed by links that use adfly, which was sold to linkvertise, so the old adfly bypasses don't work anymore (not that they were foolproof anyway) and you will be clicking a link to a page full of trojan viruses. People have tried to access downloads through these links and had to reinstall their operating systems in spite of having adblockers and up to date antivirus programs, so please do not attempt downloading them as they are not worth risking your computer.

That creator is no longer active, or I would recommend reaching out, but you can download a very nice version of her arena outfit safely here! Just be very careful with other Padme CC and make sure that any links you click show the simfileshare/curseforge/patreon url instead of j.s or adf.ly etc. when you hover.

“TOO SWEET”, Unreal Unearth: Unending (2024) [ HOZIER ]

In “Too Sweet” Hozier draws a contrast between two individuals with different lifestyles and preferences, one who enjoys living life at his own pace, indulging in simple pleasures like whiskey, coffee, and late nights while not worrying too much about conforming to societal norms of waking up early and living a disciplined life, and a second individual, presumably the partner, is portrayed as someone who values discipline, health, and structure. They encourage the narrator to live a healthier lifestyle, waking up early and taking care of themselves.

Born from the 3rd Circle of Hell, Gluttony, same as his track, “Eat Your Young”, Hozier examines excessive mess and overindulgence, similiar to Dante’s depiction of gluttony where it not only refers to overconsumption of food and drink but also the overindulgence in any worldly pleasure to the detriment of spiritual growth.

GENIUS ANNOTATION

[palatabl3]

based on this fic !!

[allthingswhumpyandangsty]

do you have any whump or hurt/comfort ao3 stories you'd recommend?

I don’t read original stories, so all of the stuff I’ve been reading are strictly about the fandom I’m in and the characters I love

what I will offer you is Squid Game’s Hwang In-ho (the Front Man) and Seong Gi-hun whump fic rec

credit to the authors. there will be blood and gore

White Mask — Post season 2, under a specific circumstance, Gi-hun agreed to be the Front Man’s Lieutenant.

Obedience and Oblivion (tw: rape/non-con) — Post season 2, the Front Man makes Gi-hun his.

Overthrown — Front Man’s own guards betrayed him. Gi-hun stepped in and saved his life (just when he was cut open on the table and, still conscious, having his organs harvested).

loving you is a losing game — A gunshot wound to the neck. Gi-hun and Jun-ho must do their best to keep In-ho alive.

serve to please (tw: rape/non-con) — The tragic life of Hwang In-ho. Nothing but pain and suffering (until Gi-hun comes and saves his life, literally, there’s still so much pain, but at least he’s with Gi-hun, his own archenemy).

funeral pyre — Following the death of his wife, In-ho is challenged with shame, guilt and grief. Jun-ho tries saving his brother before it's all too late. (This one is about the Hwang bros, not In-ho/Gi-hun.)

lick your wounds, swallow your hurt with kisses — In-ho's plan to infiltrate the game and gain Gi-hun's trust didn't go as well as he hoped when he found himself with a life-threatening injury. He, of course, tried hiding his wound from Gi-hun. Until he nearly bled out in front of him.

dead (for a little while) — Gi-hun loses the next game. Strangely, they don't kill him. (He wakes up on the table, about to have his organs harvested.)

Your Personal Hell — Time-loop AU. In-ho keeps dying again and again; each time he dies, he’s brought back to life.

No Exit (tw: rape/non-con, suicide attempt) — In-ho capturing, abusing, manipulating and basically owning Gi-hun.
