An old anime fan with random thoughts especially about Levi. Started posting since I got fake SnK 106 spoilers. Female ♀ | 30+

Training today but this came to mind 🤔

What if Gihun stabbed Inho’s hand like Sangwoo stabbed his when Inho revealed himself and just left.

And what if, after Gihun died and Inho was alone with his thoughts, he would kiss that scar and imagine he was kissing Gihun instead?

Having Gi-hun as your favorite character is both a curse and a blessing cause his whole life is literally suffering but you can draw him wearing a pink thong and put him in pretty dresses in your fic

Inhun fitting the power bottom x sub top dynamics is so delicious

This is about two elements that appear in the drama. I’d like to hear your thoughts. (People’s opinions differ, so it’s perfectly fine if you don’t agree with mine.)

I think In-ho has had quite a lot of affection for Gi-hun since S1. (I’m not sure whether In-ho gradually developed those feelings while watching the games, or whether Gi-hun’s showdown with Il-nam was the deciding factor.) To In-ho, Gi-hun is an exceptionally unique person, and that is what makes many fans root for Inhun. What Gi-hun means to In-ho has been revealed through several interviews with HDH and LBH. Among them, I think LBH’s statement that In-ho is a misanthrope is especially crucial. In an interview with a film magazine, LBH said: “In-ho, who had a desperate backstory, participated in Squid Game and saw the very bottom of human nature. He came to hate the world and think that all humans are trash. The reason he works as the Front Man is not to actively run the games, but because he doesn’t want to go back out into the outside world.” Despite that, In-ho advised Gi-hun to get on a plane, saying it would be “good for Gi-hun.” In-ho told Gi-hun, “I sincerely hoped you would live well; I hoped you would forget everything that happened and be happy.” Honestly, when you start hating a certain group of people, you stop caring about what any individual from that group does. If In-ho, who is so sick of humanity that he works as the Front Man, had no feelings toward Gi-hun whatsoever, he wouldn’t have cared at all whether Gi-hun got on a plane, whether Gi-hun went to LA to meet his daughter, or whether Gi-hun went to Las Vegas to gamble—whatever Gi-hun did would have been irrelevant to him.

2. In the pentathlon in S2, Young-il said to Gi-hun, “I will do whichever one you think, Gi-hun.” I find it surprising that not many people in the Inhun fandom pay attention to this line. I think this line is just as important as “Does it bother you?” In a life-or-death game, the calm, composed, and handsome Young-il, seeing that Gi-hun lacks confidence in his own abilities and is tense about the game, respected Gi-hun’s choice and put his full trust in him. In fact, it was a situation where an argument could easily have broken out over who should decide which game to play. But Young-il completely left the decision about which game to play to Gi-hun. From Gi-hun’s perspective, the moment he heard those words, he must have thought, “No matter what happens, I want to protect Young-il.” I imagine that upon hearing that line, Gi-hun might have felt grateful to Young-il, perhaps even finding him endearing, and that expectation would have given Gi-hun a great deal of strength.

And Young-il keeps failing in the game that Gi-hun chose. Perhaps when In-ho was 132, he often failed in team-based games and was strongly criticized by his teammates. So maybe In-ho kept failing at the spinning top game to see how Gi-hun would behave under pressure—whether he would abandon his humanity. In-ho might have expected Gi-hun, frightened, to blame or get angry at Young-il, but the team, including Gi-hun, supported Young-il, and they passed the game successfully.

The relationship between Sang-woo and Gi-hun is also very interesting, but the relationship between In-ho and Gi-hun is clearly so compelling that, if HDH had paid a bit more attention to it when writing the script, it could have become an even more wonderful story.

Ohhh interesting!

I always thought that Inho was watching Gihun because Ilnam was fascinated with him and at first, he wanted to make sure that Gihun wouldn't hurt Ilnam but afterwards, he was intrigued by him.

It always got to me that inho used to be a cop. Like, I don't see him as the typicaly corrupted or dirty cop, but I do think he would be one of the cops that, tried to be good but wouldn't call out other cops for their BS if that makes sense. I do think he became a cop to actually help people but seeing what it was actually like was slowly making him lose hope in humanity.

The games killed whatever hope was left.

I definitely agree that Inho help run the games not because he was bloodthirsty or even because he hated people a lot, though I'm sure he did, it's because he didn't want to go back to the real world. He just wanted to stay in his own little bubble.

But Gihun? Gihun went through the games and did not personally kill any person-he was willing to live without money to save his friend. Something about that I think really opened something in Inho and I think he wanted Gihun to genuinely live a good life-I think Gihun reminded him a little of his wife and that Gihun, to Inho, was the only good thing humanity had to offer and wanted him to live a good life.

I think Gihun was the only bright spot in humanity for Inho--something that not even his brother was able to do because Inho wouldn't allow Junho to become his hope because he didn't want to stain him, if that makes sense.

As for Youngil...I think Inho crafted the character after who he used to be-after who he wanted to be before the games ruined him. He made a character that he thought could endear itself to Gihun and it worked.

I do think, Youngil voting to stay, him asking Gihun that he could pick whatever game for him, telling Gihun that he still trusted him and fucking up his turn was all ploys to either get Gihun to feel bad for Youngil, to trust him and to see if, when Youngil kept failing, if Gihun would turn against him.

I do think that Gihun really liked Youngil. I even think he must have had a tiny little crush on him that he ignored because, you know, Youngil is married but he really trusted him-which I'm sure Inho couldn't believe at first because oh my God Gihun?! Number 001?! Really? He didn't look at that number and realize that something was wrong?

And I think the last time they saw each other-when Inho revealed that he was the frontman all along, something broke in both of them. I think maybe Inho hoped that his revelation would finally push Gihun over the edge and that he would kill the players as he once did.

I do think that Inho genuinely felt bad for Gihun. I do think he wanted Gihun to live his life as best as he could and that Inho honestly loved Gihun in season 2 and 3.

Their relationship was really interesting, and I do wish that the finale would have been Gihun surviving and trying to leave the games behind and maybe Inho looking out for him, making sure he was ok.

I don't think Tolkien is a good fantasy writer because he scored the highest at some objective Best Fantasy Book Test that every fantasy writer has to take, I think he's a good fantasy writer because he created a world based on things that he was interested in. I feel like a lot of fantasy writers think that they need to create a whole language for their world because Tolkien did and obviously his books are the best so they have to emulate him, but Tolkien did that because he was a linguistics nerd. I think the lesson to be learned from him is not that you have to include elves and deep history and new languages, but that you have to write endlessly about the things you are a huge nerd about and use those things to create your fantasy world

I miss when social media platforms were actually different and unique. instagram was ad-free and for photo sharing only. youtube was for videos. tiktok was for short and quick videos. twitter was for venting. now everything looks exactly the same and soulless. there's no whimsy left

so tired of people thinking taboo stuff in fiction equals taboo stuff in real life and “you’re a bad person if you write about it or enjoy it”. not to mention how harmful it is to reduce the severity of these things in real life by watering them down to dark fiction, my dude, humans have always enjoyed fiction that is taboo. otherwise there would be no horror movies or slasher movies or movies about wars and murders or any kind of media that wasn’t rainbow and sunshine.

just because you are personally uncomfortable with taboo stuff in fiction doesn’t mean your personal feelings are universal and it certainly doesn’t mean you get a free pass to harass others.

I’ve been into non-con fantasy ever since I was younger than 10 years old! I love reading and writing non-con fics, and I’ve been reading and writing them for almost a decade now. and guess what, I will never condone it in real life. nobody in real life is ever affected by the fictional things I enjoy, because it’s fiction and I am mature enough to separate it from reality. actually, even when I was younger than 10, I always knew that this thing I enjoyed was bad in real life. if a seven year old me could separate fiction from reality, you as an adult should be able to do it too — unless you’re deeply troubled, and in that case you need professional help.

no, you’re not morally better than anyone just because you don’t enjoy certain topics in fiction. you’re a bully if you think you can harass real people over fiction.

put your anger and energy on people who harm others in real life, instead of harassing innocent people for having thoughtcrimes.

my silly two cents on why I don’t think ao3 ever needs an official app are that

it works just fine as it is

if it has an app, that means it has to be approved by appstore / google play store, that means there’s a very real and high chance of appstore and play store “banning specific contents from ao3”, leading to censorship. so this goes against ao3’s core principles of being against censorship.

I think we’re so used to every single thing being an app that we don’t realize not everything has to be an app. the “should ao3 has an app or not” discourse wasn’t around before until recently, and there’s a reason for that.

also worth mentioning that all the “ao3 apps” you see are third-party apps (and these apps usually have ads). as of the time this post is being made, ao3 does not have an app. so all the “ao3 apps” you see are not affiliated with the actual ao3 in any way, shape or form. so be very careful giving these apps your login info and/or other personal information.

from this twitter post, tomato soup (mangaka for jaadugar: a witch in mongolia) had made a doujin that was called "The Ark Departs From Palestine" 方舟はパレスチナを発つ(たつ)

the story is set around two shia muslims (who are from the order of assassins) sent to assassinate conrad, the king of jerusaleum. the time period was set during the crusades. proceeds of this doujin were sent towards the UNHCR

you can purchase the doujin here.
