Looooooove your thangyu fics <3 do you have any hcs for them? (In the games, out of the games like in your fics, or both)
first of all, thank you so very much, genuinely. the response to my silly little fics from this fandom has been so incredibly positive, it has made me tear up on more than one occasion :'))) i feel like i'm finally in the right place
as far as HCs go, i have always been bad at listing these out in any coherent way, i fear i am better at writing paragraph after paragraph about nam-gyu's freckles lol. but i will give it a try bc i do think about these two an unhealthy amount:
i saw someone on twitter speculate that thanos probably has some brain-damage from a previous overdose which left him with some cognitive problems, which is why he keeps referring to nam-gyu as nam-su. we also see him rapping the names of his gang at some point ("min-su, nam-su, gyeon-su, than-su") and while it can totally be taken in the same way that his random DJing and swaying is (bro is literally high af like ofc), i also think he might literally be trying his best to remember what is happening around him
to continue on the previous point, i think it's pretty clear in the show (and i sort of included it in the first part of my fic as well) that he genuinely does not remember that he inadvertently killed gyeong-su. so in conclusion, homie has memory and cognitive problems Bad
however, i do not think thanos is stupid. he's not particularly smart, sure, but his silliest moments are literally the result of the cross pills and the previously mentioned issues
and going back to the first point. while in the show, "nam-su" is most likely the result of cognitive issues (at least later on), in my fic he just does it continuously because he thinks it's funny. he loves nam-gyu much more than he even thinks he does and one of the ways he shows it is by using the life out of this joke. however, it can also be interpreted as him pulling a little "no homo" since imo this is one of the few (if not only) real relationships he's ever been in, and it's kind of a way to protect himself - "i threatened the life of your coworker to find out your address bc i can't live without you and i literally fall asleep in your arms every night and i want to give you everything you have ever wanted, but it's not like that serious to me bro we cool we gang fr"
and to continue about thanos. he is obsessed with nam-gyu. i write from nam-gyu's POV so it might come across that he is the yearner (and he is don't get me wrong) but thanos could not sleep for the whole month they were separated. maybe he didn't even realise at first why this was. his original plan was to go back to the bridge too, after all. but he started looking for him pretty soon after they both got back.
nam-gyu has borderline personality disorder. i saw draculazgh0st on tw*tter make a very good and well thought out case for this, and while it's not explicitly mentioned in my fic, his characterisation is heavily influenced by this diagnosis. finally mentioned this on ao3 for the final third part as well - better late than never
i literally have so many more ideas about them but i can't. get. the. words. out. send me some HCs, i'll tell you if i agree ok, maybe write some short thingys based on them, i suck at lists :p
thank you for your support ily <3 <3
