I Wanna Take Pictures Of My Outfit Bc It’s Cute But I’m So Lazyyy

In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don't let them pretend we never existed.

P.S: Don't like! Reblog! <3

EDIT: Well this got a lot of attention! I got a few users asking to print or repost my art and I am unimaginably grateful to everyone's interest, especially since it's a really simple drawing I made on a whim haha! Anyone who is looking to print these out to hang or hand out or repost on another platform is free to do so, although I ask you to credit me and let people know it's from my Tumblr profile! If anyone wishes to do anything else with my art or post and wants to clarify what I consent to then they can message me privately and I'll explain! <333 all my love to my queer siblings

EDIT: I made an LGBTQIA+ version with a focus on trans and intersex folks, it's on my pinned if you prefer this version of the acronym.

cho sang-woo + textposts ft. sangihun

so reall, i think sang-woo would’ve won if gi-hun wasn’t there, but i don’t think he would’ve gone back after winning

Do you ever think about what would have happened if Jungbae had just given Gihun some money? What could have happened if Saebyeok had never stolen the money from the horse bet? What if Gihun would have never had a reason to join the games in the first place? Without Gihun Sangwoo would have been the one to win, I'm certain of it. The only time Gihun helped anyone in s1 was during Dalgona and Sangwoo already knew what the game was because of Saebyeok, so he didn't need him to win. Everything else he would have mastered, similarly to how Inho probably played and won his games back in 2015. Gihun would have lived, so would have Jungbae and Sangwoo. But at what prize? This brings me to another thought I had. Do we know how long Inho has been the front man? Personally, I don't think that Inho immediately went back to the games to become the front man, I think he had a similar story as Gihun, coming back to society, realizing his wife and child were already dead and then locking himself up in his appartment. I can really see him frantically buying and reading philosophy books, never leaving his stuffy room, slowly going mad, not understanding, how this could happen to him, wanting to contact Junho but being too scared of breaking down, being too scared to look his baby brother in the eye after witnessing and causing so much horror (with those same eyes). And then at some point someone slips a card underneath his door. And he goes back because he has nowhere else to go. Very, very similar to Sangwoo joining the games again after previously having wanted to kill himself. With a sort of "If I die during this then so be it" attitude, not enough fighting spirit left to try and do anything against the games like Gihun would do. This brings me back to Sangwoo. If Sangwoo had won the games I am fairly certain that he would have ended up in the exact same position. I don't think Inho would have had the same reaction to Sangwoo winning as he did with Gihun, he wouldn't have told him to go back to his life and use the money he was given, Sangwoo and Inho are far too similar, Sangwoo's behavior far too brutal to spark any inspiration in Inho. And the next thing Sangwoo would hear is a loud knock on the door and then he'd find another cardboard card. I believe Sangwoo would have been contacted to be the next front man. And Inho would have rose to the next higher step becoming the new boss of the games. And the cycle of trauma goes on and on and on.

Hi! Thanks for the ask. Sorry for the wait. I hope this answer is what you wanted. I liked to hear what you had to say.

I am going to number this so it is easier to answer. 1. Do you ever think about what would have happened if Jungbae had just given Gihun some money? What could have happened if Saebyeok had never stolen the money from the horse bet? What if Gihun would have never had a reason to join the games in the first place?

I think about this all the time. Everything would be SO different. A lot of winners probably wouldn't have had the same reaction he had.

2. Sangwoo winning.

I definitely believe Sang-woo would have won if Gi-hun wasn't there as well. That was his biggest problem, as he had the intelligence and skill to get super far. It was difficult for him to kill Gi-hun because he wouldn't be able to forgive himself for that. Before that, Sang-woo was willing to do absolutely anything to survive and win.

3. How long Inho has been the front man?

I personally think that In-ho also had it similar to Gi-hun, at first being a zombie of a man. It hurts to think of him going crazy and isolating himself. It was likely some months or maybe a year after that In-ho was asked to be the frontman. I like to think he has been frontman for some years before 2021. I say that he was only missing in 2021 because he had to go away to do his job, and at that point didn't want to endanger his family anymore so probably cut all contact. That or he only became frontman in 2021. Either could be true.

Slipping a card underneath the door would be pretty in character for them. I also imagine Il-nam personally talking to him to recruit him. He pretty much has already lost himself and all hope in humanity, so the job doesn't scare him nor does dying.

4. Sangwoo would have ended up as the frontman.

I don't think In-ho would be very interested in Sang-woo either, as Sang-woo likely wouldn't do the same things Gi-hun had. Gi-huns resistance is what I think made him so fascinated. Sang-woo may have been traumatized and felt guilty at times, but he probably would have convinced himself that the games were unstoppable and wouldn't feel the need to save people as much as Gi-hun did.

Sang-woo might have been contacted to partake in the games again except as a soldier or frontman, or another role like that. I am not sure why they cared to ask In-ho to be frontman, so maybe they ask a lot of winners they see could fit the role. They might respect his intelligence, willingness to survive, and ability to be apathetic at times.

Except, would he want to do that? He did all that he did because he simply wanted to survive and succeed. He wanted to fix all that he fucked up. I don't think he would have any reason to join after. He would be able to face his mom and would be able to find a new job. He could hide from the police or simply pay everything off. After that, he would have more to live for. Also, it takes someone with almost a complete lack of empathy and humanity. That is not Sang-woo, even if he is morally gray.

It's certainly interesting to think about the fact that Gi-Hun and Sang-Woo envied one another.

While it might be obvious to see why Gi-Hun would envy Sang-Woo given his credentials; Pride and joy of Ssangmun-dong, top of his class, SNU buisness graduate, valedictorian, etc. It might not be as obvious to think what Sang-Woo envy Gi-Hun for.

I think the answers relies on what society considers a "successful man"

This is usually measured by these factors: finances, career and family.

While certainly on a superficial level, Sang-Woo reach far greater than Gi-Hun in terms of career and finances, Gi-Hun had a title that Sang-Woo didn't.

Husband and father.

They shared the experience of both having success in their careers and having that taken away from them, and their finances were fucked over because of it.

But, unlike Sang-Woo, Gi-Hun was a "complete" man. Even though they both "failed," Gi-Hun had a daughter that would thrive regardless of the bad decisions he made. His legacy would live regardless if he had a career or not.

Sang-Woo only had himself and his achievements, and he lost everything.

Even though he seems quite disinterested with the idea of having a girlfriend (more than likely he is a closeted gay man) it's the fact that Gi-Hun build something everlasting, even if it didn't require any special titles. Just the will and the love.

If instead of reaching for something beyond his league as it is to become a multimillionaire, he focused on the "small and trivial" things, he might have built something of importance, something that wouldn't die along with him.

He envy the fact that Gi-Hun, with the contrasting careless attitude, could build that for himself. Could be materially more successful than he is.
