I would love comments and/or kudos if you feel like leaving them on AO3, here is fine too, it all makes my heart happy 💗
When I tell you that I have read fanfic characterizations so OOC that they'd classify as an original character, trust me I have read THOUSANDS. But you know what I don't do? :) Tell the author of those fanfics that they might as well classify that character as an original character if they're going to write them like one. Because that's fucking rude. People don't owe you your preferred characterizations. The back button is free.
who says this fandom is dying, I’ll fucking fight them
the fandom not being a hot trending topic on mainstream socials doesn’t mean things are dying out, it means they’re settled and consistent in between seasons
anyway, I’m not going anywhere
I don't know if it's just me, but I find it annoying when people say squid game fandom is dying just because the show isn't a newish trend on social media anymore. It's far from being dead fandom when there's a constant stream of new content from fans every day. My favourite tv show finished ten years ago, but it's still has thriving fandom behind it. The show itself is coming back in a couple of months, so there's no need to act like dead and gone. A part of me can't wait till the show is over, so all the trend chasers leave it alone, and so the fans can enjoy it without someone ( just watched the show for the games) trying police our fun. I just want to be able to enjoy mixing up canon ships without someone throwing tantrum because it isn't based in the show.
It's a bit of a rant post, but I just want to get off my chest and see what others think of this.
i found this image to be quite inspirational, thus i wish to share it. you don't have to make something phenomenal much less rather something exceptional. you must first put it out there and tweak things later because you cannot build off of something you put nothing into. some day you'll regret never putting yourself out there.
create beautiful, wonderful things.

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.
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
reblog and in the tags write a reddit “Am I the Asshole” post title but from the perspective of your favorite character(s)
