hello its me your bi!nam-gyu anon. Plz no need to be sorry that you replied some days after I sent the anon, we all have lives and I hope you're doing well! Ilove your response and how thoughtful it was!

Your view of how he would feel about being bi is exactly what I was thinking too. I honestly imagine him to have had an abusive upbringing and that he was told that it is weak to show emotion or he learned not to show it in defiance to abusers who wanted to see him crying. And plus when you're a kid and go through abuse you do get upset but honestly you also get pissed off.

I had an abusive childhood and some of my abusers would also do this (aka tell me that it's weak to show emotions and I was a girl so I can only imagine for a boy in a country like korea which is like where I grew up I how it holds men and boys to the "strong" standards). In defiance I wouldn't cry no matter what they did just to get one over on them so to speak. In my teens and early 20s I also didn't like showing my emotions thanks to that and to some ex boyfriends who were unfortunately also abusive in every way you can imagine. I also went through a period wanting others to be wary of me so no one else would harm me. but thanks to some exes and some friends mainly I realised that I can show emotions and such, so it has been a process.

Nam-gyu is really dear to me and I see a lot of me in him minus how hostile he is lmao because i like to make friends and have a lot of compassion. But even though we are different in our interactions with people, I can really identify with this addiction and anxiety and aspects of past me in how he reacts to things (getting mad at thanos when he's dead and stopping himself from crying etc).

I do feel like some of the struggles nam-gyu has are ones ironically that many women often face too (being underestimated, perceived as weak, having their opinion ignored, not being respected, anxieties).

I'm really looking forward to more of your awesome headcanons!

i view his childhood the same way! i generally hc nam-gyu as not having many outlets for open, vulnerable communication and a healthy way to express his feelings (if at all) in his personal life. i mean, he chose getting insanely high over showing/acknowledging his emotions in the show

to get specific for my hcs about his family, i think he'd have really strict, cold parents who believe in 'tough love' and prefer not to show affection freely. i also think they'd be really critical and care a lot about public image and pushing their kids. i think it'd be fitting since nam-gyu is so clingy, starved for approval, and extremely sensitive to the opinions of others. who knows

i could see that type of treatment / upbringing being the reason that he seems to hold the idea that weakness / being anything other aggressive/combative in any context = bad. i also think that could definitely coincide with his sexism lmao

I do feel like some of the struggles nam-gyu has are ones ironically that many women often face too (being underestimated, perceived as weak, having their opinion ignored, not being respected, anxieties).

SOO TRUE... i remember hdh saying in some interview (i fr need to start gathering my sources somewhere lmao) that he really wanted to highlight the relationships between men and women in korea in s2, and i could totally see that being intentional! nam-gyu desperately trying to distance himself from 'weakness' and yet that's all anyone sees him as
