ok squid gang help me out here!!

I’m planning a fic set during a hypothetical future edition of the games, which means I need to come up with a new cast of characters to interact with the existing ones who’ll be involved

can anyone think of any believable reasons why people would be joining the game, which haven’t already been done repeatedly? I’m trying not to inadvertently copy canon characters but there are only so many ways I can think of to get into vast amounts of debt

I’ve got a couple of ideas but if anyone feels creative and has any thoughts please let me know!!

my shayla....my shaylaaaa

Little AU where it's Sae-byeok that runs into Gi-hun in Seoul in S1E2, instead of Il-nam, and Gi-hun gets to apologize for hassling her about the money and she shares her Ramen with him. He asks her if she's old enough to drink and she scoffs and pours herself some soju. They play the bottle cap game.

They talk about the games.

Sae-byeok says she's going back. She reluctantly sums up her situation, without any real details, and Gi-hun returns the show of trust by telling his story too.

They make their agreement early. If one gets through it and the other doesn't, they'll help each other’s family.

She's even more of a daughter figure to him in the games and her death is that much more devastating.

less than an hour later I have just read over the outline for my ji-yeong fic and am now sat at my desk sniffling and blinking back tears

I am weirdly glad that, based on recent posts I’ve been seeing, I am not the only one who has moments of sobbing incoherently at my fav ship

Two hours hunched over ibis paint x later, and i have managed to create my first official fanart! I had some experience but still very little and i had never actually made anything until tonight, so i hope you guys like this!

Eta: I dont feel like i thank you guys enough for the support yall have given me in the past few months. Thanks to you guys ive found the courage and inspiration from your kind words and posts to start creating again, after hitting a really rough patch beforehand. Im writing again, and now im drawing, despite everything else going on. I know we’re technically strangers to each other but i still appreciate all of you 🫶🏻💖 whether you follow me or not, your interactions with my posts are absolutely encouraging to me to keep going anyways. Yall are the best, thank you! 💕

I listen to the soundtrack sometimes, especially when I’m working on a fic if I want to get into a particular mood or headspace, but I cannot listen to ‘Dawn’ because it only plays in that one scene and it’s just so sad. I start crying every time
