Hi Sorry I Haven’t Responded To Asks/tags I’ve Been In Writing Hell But I See You All 💗

last round, majority voted the salesman/recruiter off the island

Liking character is fun until you think about them and you just have to stare at nothing for a few minutes because of how tragic

And mauybe you are almost crying but you are having fun

trying out colored pencils after ages of either using watercolor or (mostly) no color at all, maybe color IS fun after all.

"No one calls us home anymore," Sang-woo says, and he means it as a justification. An excuse. His life is empty, he is no longer a child to be cared for, no one calls for him and he has no home to go back to.

Gi-hun could have offered the obvious answer. He could have pointed out that Sang-woo's mother still calls him, that she talks to Gi-hun about her son whenever she sees him. We as the audience know that she asks if Gi-hun has heard from him, later, when she can't reach her son and worries if he's okay.

Gi-hun could have heard the excuse, the plea to give up, and he could have argued with Sang-woo or let him give up.

Instead, Gi-hun sees a reason for hope. He sees an opportunity. He hears, "No one calls us home anymore," and he holds his hand out immediately and says, "Let's go home."

Even if no one else will call Sang-woo home, Gi-hun will.

But Sang-woo doesn't take his hand. Sang-woo grabs the knife and takes his own life, instead, because the truth isn't really that no one calls him home anymore.

The truth is that Sang-woo is the one who stopped listening when they called.

What could have been, what should have been.

my fav comfort fic updated 🥰

Not on anon XD but still wanted to send an ask. How do you think it would play out if Saebyeok and Jiyeong were the ones who were the final players? Would they vote to end the game or would Jiyeong want Saebyeok to win?

hi!! thank you for the ask, this an interesting one!

I genuinely see them leaving together; I think Ji-yeong might go in with the intention of giving up her life, but I think Sae-byeok would plead with her not to.

in the fourth game, Ji-yeong was willing to die for Sae-byeok.

after another game, another brush with death, and two more nights together, with fewer people to come between them and more opportunities to talk? I think the heart-to-heart they had in the marble game would have happened organically even if they didn’t play that game together, in another way at another time. a lonely night watch together. a moment of vulnerability somewhere.

what I mean is, I cannot see Ji-yeong willingly leaving Sae-byeok having become closer than they already were. Sae-byeok is everything Ji-yeong needs — family, love, shelter, someone who cares and will fight for her. someone who can love her.

and Sae-byeok would fight for her. she begged Ji-yeong not to die for her, and she wouldn’t allow her to here. Ji-yeong could step out of the squid and lose the game, but I think Sae-byeok would stand in her way and tell her that she’ll leave with her. that she’ll fight for her. that they’ll make it work. Ji-yeong doesn’t have nothing any more. they have each other.

finally: when Ji-yeong played the marble game with Sae-byeok, she repeatedly talked about what they would do together once they left. she was so enamoured with the idea of spending life on the outside with Sae-byeok that she literally forgot that one of them had to die. that is not the thought process of someone who has already decided to give up their life.

when the gun was pointed at Ji-yeong, she was holding back tears. she was scared. she didn’t want to die, she chose to because she valued Sae-byeok’s life above her own. because the alternative was continuing a life that she saw no meaning in, knowing that Sae-byeok’s life was ended for her. it wasn’t worth it.

given the choice between death, a life without Sae-byeok — financially assured, but at what cost? — or to leave together, with a home to go to? Ji-yeong isn’t a pessimist. the moment Sae-byeok shared her dreams with her — Jeju island, a home, a family — they became Ji-yeong’s dreams as well. she wanted them for Sae-byeok, and she wanted to be there with her.

they’re leaving together, Sae-byeok immediately takes Ji-yeong into her apartment — or wherever she’s staying. she’ll make it work, for her — and they start over.

SQUID GAME 3 LEAKS — A PSA

[please feel free to share/reblog this!]

in case you weren’t aware, there are alleged leaks of squid game 3 spreading on other platforms: reddit, twitter, etc.

thankfully, i haven’t seen any here, and most of the leaks have been taken down, but i wanted to make this psa for those who are unaware.

it is also unknown if these are real, but regardless this is sickening.

now. if you happen to come across one of these leaks,

1) DO NOT SHARE IT AROUND. sharing leaks is incredibly disrespectful to the writers, and can ruin the watching experience. even if it’s something small, DO NOT SHARE LEAKS AROUND. EVER. you can be patient. you got it. i know it’s hard to wait, but be patient.

2) try to report the leaks, if possible, to get them taken down.

3) if you come across leaked media of any kind but cannot report it for some reason, the very least you can do is ignore it!

—

this is very saddening to me that people are doing this, and i hope the issue gets resolved soon.

take care y’all!! <3
