has anyone ever talked about the fact that the first time we see sae-byeok she’s carrying an iced coffee?
this girl is literally barely surviving, committing crimes on the daily, probably only one step ahead of deok-su and his gang since she ditched them and they want payback, and she still found time and money to buy herself a little treat
and I LOVE that for her. so much. I hope she got a little cookie or something with it too
Small brains: “This Squid Game character is completely bad and has no positive qualities!” “This Squid Game character is completely good and has no negative qualities!”
Big, massive, gigantic brains: Every Squid Game character is a realistic portrayal of the human mind and morals, no character is void of sin nor are any of them inherently wrong for anything they do when put under the pressure of being forced into situations where they have no choice but to survive or die trying. No decision is stupid or weak when a gun is pointed to your head, or a sharp object is held to your throat. When a human’s life is threatened, of course they will make decisions that we at home deem irrational, and we see it that way because we are not them. We are not groveling on our knees with the barrel of a gun aimed for the spot between our eyes, we are sitting in the comfort and luxury of our homes, watching a fictional show about a dramatized rendition of the effects of CAPITALISM.
It is okay, in fact warranted and natural, to feel hatred for people who do questionable things, as well as adoration and empathy. You are human. So are they. That is the point of the portrayal. Gihun wasn’t fucking around when he forgave and trusted so easily. He doesnt see “evil” or “nefarious” he sees human.
The REAL enemy? The system. Which is what we’ve been trying to say since DAY ONE of Squid Game’s release. Next time your blorbo gets killed off, dont look at the crazed stare in their murderer’s eyes, look at the knife or gun in their hand and ask yourself the question;
Who put that there?
Who put the weapon in their hand and gave them the capability and the drive to do it in the first place? When you do that, you will achieve clarity, i promise.
The winner takes it all
oh I really do need to finish this weekend because I have three chapters due three weeks from now
10k-ish words of jibyeok cuteness coming soon!!
just hit 7k words on the jibyeok fic 😮💨
drafting chapter summaries for the upcoming serial fic (title TBC) and man I cannot wait to start dropping these
people who write their fics directly onto archive of our own site do not fear death by the way
in all seriousness, please always keep backups of your works, write them somewhere else (google doc is a good choice) then copy and paste onto ao3 when you're done, because ao3 itself does not automatically save your works for you, meaning you can lose all of your progress
‘I stan U’ by IU is a jibyeok anthem just saying
Even the habit of smiling slightly twisted
Or each word you often choose
Makes everyone look at you
Don't hide yourself, don't be silly
Sometimes you feel insecure but
Even that shyness, I just like it
this is 100% a ji-yeong @ sae-byeok song
working on my fluffy jibyeok WIP
who up un-dooming they yuri
I just realised that to meet my planned publishing schedule for the upcoming sg serial fic I need to have the prologue and first two chapters finished four weeks from now, pretty much to the day (planned release date is every saturday) plus enough extra material written ahead so that I can stay on track
which means I need the jibyeok and ji-yeong fics done ASAP because I am not a quick writer
so fics will be coming soon!!!!
