Hello. I’ve decided to quit tumblr. Quit the fandom. I really loved talking to you all but I just really need this…

I know I’ve been talking about people leaving the Hwang bros fandom and I was afraid of that… and now I’m the one who’s leaving… i am so sorry.

I really can’t just take what they did to Junho and his relationship with Inho.

I am traumatized to the point that I don’t want to watch anything anymore because I don’t want to get invested again.

It’s going to be hard since I’ve been using tumblr for 3 years now. But I lived without it before, so I can do it again.

I will forever love Junho and the Hwang bros. But I’m afraid I’m going to force exit the fandom in order to heal.

I really loved being friends with you guys. I loved making gifs and analysis and participating in discussions and doing polls. It was fun while it lasted.

Y’know, Junho can actually name the kid Junhee even though he has no idea the kid’s biological mom is named Junhee. I imagine his mom doing it actually.

I mean, they are fond of having one similar syllable— Inho and Junho. But I doubt Junho would tell his mom that Inho got him the baby. So he would probably tell his mom she was a foundling.

And there would be no sense if the three of them would share the same syllable. His mom would name the kid Junhee, specifically choosing a syllable similar to Junho.

I think this would be cute actually 🥹🥹🥹 Inho getting baffled how the hell did Junho know that??

Then the baby would be… Hwang Junhee 😂

I get better when instead of thinking—

Junho’s character in s2-3 is useless. He was so slow, his entire team got killed before he reached the island.

I rephrase it and think—

Inho all throughout seasons 1-3 really did everything—not matter what cost— to keep Junho safe and away from the island.

[ourwhisperingtorment]

If you think about it, Junho is the real winner of season 3

When he’s not even a player 🤧

[ourwhisperingtorment]

In s2/3, Gihun had more scenes with Junho; and Inho had more scenes with Gayeong.

I can’t do this anymore

one thing i absolutely adored this entire show was the seeming emptiness of junho's entire plotline.

in seaon one all he wanted to do was find his brother. every decison he made was in an effort to find his brother. and when he does find his brother it's in the worst scenario possible. then in seasons two and three, all he wanted to do was understand his brother. understand why he did this. why he's part of a system that is literally killing people for sport.

and what does he get for all of his efforts? on the surface, nothing. his crew is dead, the captain dead, the coast guard were too late, the island is gone, and his brother? gone. he finds him, he asks him why and he gets no answer. all of his efforts turn up empty and pointless.

except, junho does get one thing. he gets a baby.

a nameless, connectionless baby, who also mind you, has forty six billion won. and his brother gave him that baby.

and what i truly love about this is that, yes junho's efforts were pointless, yes, he didn't get any answers, yes he didn't get his brother back but. BUT. he has hope. innocence. a baby.

a baby that is understood to be the only goodness to come out of a place of pure evil. the only joy to come of suffering. the only hope to come from absolute devastation.

inho gives him that. tells him to keep his eyes on the goodness of this world. to stay hopeful, to stay pure. to keep this baby that has no one else, nowhere else to go. and what's doubly interesting here is that inho, from what i remember, lost his baby. and if we're keeping out metaphors straight, he lost his innocence, his hope, his goodness. and for him to have a baby at the end. for junho to ask him why as inho is holding that baby and the island is set to self destruct. for inho to give junho that baby later on. almost as if to say for this. for her. for the hope of the future in a world that will do anything to kill it.

on the surface, i adore how absolutely empty junhos story seems to be but under all of that there's something heartbreaking about it.

Hello… I don’t know if I’m overreacting but I think I might get depressed because of s3? I don’t want to get ahead of myself but I’ve never experienced this before.

And scrolling through social media is not helping. Because I really thought—hoped— that Junho would be an important character. But everyone’s treating him as a laughing stock again. And he never got a proper reunion. Junho was so fucking wasted this season and I’ve been loving him since s1. Junho should’ve died in s1— this way, he could have stayed superior.

I think I’m getting depressed because I have been awake for 30 hours and I don’t feel sleepy.I was supposed to sleep right after finishing s3 which was 9 hours ago. But I couldn’t. I haven’t eaten but I don’t feel hungry.

I keep thinking about s3, especially Junho. I wanted to cry— but I thought, would I really cry over a fictional character? A fictional work? Why am I too OA?

But I don’t know… I don’t know what I’m feeling but I think I’m really succumbing to depression. On top of that, I live alone. No one to talk to. My family lives a thousand miles away.

That’s why I keep posting here. To interact with people who share the same sentiment as me. But it’s only working in the slightest.

I want to have hope so bad that they will talk about the Hwang brothers more in the interviews… but the ones I saw that was recent is only talking about Gihun and Inho’s dynamic again. I should probably stop hoping so I wouldn’t get crushed more, right?

[ourwhisperingtorment]

Wait, I’m confused

Do you all hate the Hwang bros now? The relationship I mean. Are you all… gonna leave?

Because I still love them. And I plan to write more about them when I have time.

Edit: guys please don’t just press heart. I need answers 🥺

[noah-wyles]

they finally come face to face after the cliff and this is it? their confrontation? im bashing my face into a wall because why?!

to go from jun-ho learning that in-ho wanted him alive no matter what, to them speaking on the radio and in-ho telling him to turn back because he could die, and then jun-ho finally finding the island to find his brother to...this. a massive hug to every hwang brothers fan thinking we'd have a full flashback episode and confrontation between the brothers with gi-hun learning the truth about them being brothers and jun-ho lying to him. truly unfair.

[hwangbros]

I guess fanfic writers have a lot of damage to fix after s3.

Good luck!

SQUID GAME 3 SPOILERS.

S3 started strong. I’m not gonna lie, it started so fucking strong.

I said I was afraid that the Hwang bros plotline will get sidelined? HELL EVERYTHING GOT SIDELINED. Even Gihun. He became a tool for the baby. They suddenly thought that some random shitty players are so interesting to waste an hour on.

I had A LOT of expectation about Gihun finding out that the frontman is Youngil. But like… what happened? It wasn’t even a conversation. Gihun never found out Junho lied. We never got to see Junho having a dilemma if he’ll save the players or his brother.

Geumja really killed Yongsik? I mean yeah Junhee and her baby are pitiful and all but REALLY? She killed her own son? I don’t fucking understand?

And ohmygod Hyunju didn’t deserve any of that pleaaaaase. I was hoping she’d become a finalist.

How come Gihun didn’t hesitate to kill Daeho but HESITATED A LOT to kill 100? Saebyeok’s hallucination will be more impactful if Gihun didn’t lose his humanity in the early episode. But girl, sorry to say, he already did. The finale didn’t make sense. Gihun already killed, brutally if I must say, he STRANGLED Daeho until he died. He should have fucking killed the rest of the finalists.

Also Gihun dying feels so fucking forced.

I’d say the only character arcs that were satisfying were Namgyu and Minsu’s. It was reasonable they’d die the way they did.

Was expecting Noeul and Junho teamup but sadly, they have no idea of each others’ existence. Was touched by her ending and also Gyeongseok’s. But I really thought that Noeul would want to take down the system with Junho. But apparently, she only cared about Gyeongseok and his child.

The only fleshed out character is Myunggi’s. God he’s all talk. I never knew I could fucking hate a character so much more than I hated Seonnyeo and 100. I was continuously giving Myunggi a chance (in my head) but noooo, Siwan was right. Myunggi would do ANYTHING to survive. Even if it meant leaving behind the mother of his child (WHO TRUSTED HIM) and killing his child. God I hate him so much.

The Hwang bros plot. I wasn’t even disappointed they didn’t have a proper reunion. At this point, it was already so late in the series and I was just… meh when it was only like that. The tension that they built all throughout SEASONS 1 AND 2 was all for nothing. They literally brought back Junho from the dead for nothing. Well maybe to show Inho’s humanity but where will that take us? Junho, acquiring the baby is also kinda random. But it makes sense since he’s the only person Inho trusts.

Inho living and Gihun dying would actually be a nice way to show a bad ending but s3 wasn’t good overall so like just. What. The. Fuck.

God I hate s3 so bad. It should have ended in s1.

[ourwhisperingtorment]

Finished s3… and all I can say….

It should have ended in s1.
