A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

he falls into silence. he might lay there with you, might start pulling his clothes back on. whatever he does will be in silence, the kind that’s full of processing and emotional acceptance.

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

sang-woo’s height is one of the features he thinks people find most attractive about him, and it’s what he likes about himself physically, too. he feels protected by it, and knows how to use it against others. but aside from that. he thinks his facial structure is quite handsome.

he’s more interested in his partner’s face than body. it’s what will set you apart from the others, and what he likes looking at of you the most. but if he was pressed for detail, he’d admit your smile was his most favourite feature. he craves drawing it out of you by thoughtful acts of service like making you coffee on tired mornings, or carrying you home if your heels hurt on date nights.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

sang-woo practices control in all aspects of his life, and that applies to sex. he insists on protection via condoms for a long time, but it’s also for ease of clean-up after the act. cum is messy. it gets on the sheets, sticks to the skin. he will indulge in raw sex when he feels like giving into his urges, but it’s rare.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

his height, his build, his cool authority has him slipping into a dominant role in your life with ease. from assuming a position of power over you both domestically and in the bedroom, it’s no surprise that he’s aware of the paternal figure he’s coincidentally moulded himself into for you. so, sometimes, in the heat of the moment, when he’s helping you with budgeting your salary for the month, or when he’s rolling his hips to guide you through an orgasm, sometimes his mind wanders. to places it shouldn’t, but does regardless. to imagining you calling him what he shouldn’t want, looking in his eyes and moaning the three letters he craves. dad.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

like every man, he has needs. despite his self control, he still dabbles in sexual exploits, but only one night stands that start in a bar and end in a stranger’s bed. he knows what he’s doing, is good at it, and gets to put it to use on someone he still expects to see come morning.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

prone bone. he gets to be vulnerable less confrontationally behind the privacy of your back, and can choose how much of himself to give to you. hands can press into the mattress beside you, or they can plant his weight on your back when he feels more desperate to connect. he can close the distance when he wants to. trace his lips over the skin of your neck, or bite down on your shoulder when he reaches his orgasm.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

sex is incredibly serious to him. he isn’t vulnerable with ease, so he relies on you to make him feel respected with the pace he takes things. sex is about shedding the layer of armour he wears like skin, letting his walls down to connect in a way that says everything he can’t outside of the bedroom. that’s not to say he won’t crack a soft smile or smirk when the moment calls for it. an unexpected moan, a twitch of your hips. he sees you reacting to him, and sometimes it’s amusing how much he can make you react to his touch.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

has a regular routine to keep his pubic hair and body hair in order, chest and abdomen included. shaves with cream, warm water, regularly changes to a fresh blade. all his body hair is black like the hair on his head.

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

he’s observant, always processing the reactions of your body and ready to adjust to improve your experience. he isn’t one for words, but he’ll guide you through his emotions with soft breaths when you’re on the right track with his body, and growls when you push him closer to the edge. especially if you talk dirty to him. it makes his head go fuzzy.

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

he’s pretty disciplined. as an adult, he knows that offers temporary relief and usually has him feeling worse afterwards. so he keeps it to a minimum. usually only when you’re out of the house, leaving him alone at home for a rare moment of solitude. he’ll usually go in the shower, lean an arm against the wall in front of him, and finish without a rush, always thinking of you.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

daddy (and secretly dad) kink, dirty talk, sub/dom dynamics, slow sex while sharing a cigarette or glass of whatever alcohol you were drinking before slipping into bed.

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

your shared bed, almost always. but he’s not opposed to slipping into the shower if it feels right, like during a few spare minutes during your morning routine. car sex is reserved for when his self control slips, and he needs to shamefully take you in the middle of a car park at night after some drinks.

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

he likes letting the sexual tension build. brushing his hips against you when squeezing past in a doorway, towel purposefully hanging low on his hips after a shower. he needs to tension to simmer. he needs the tension to become heated, unspoken, burning. only then will the sex be worth it to him. it all stems from his habit of repressing emotions. this way, he can feel so much more during sex.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

anything where he loses all control, like being tied up or pegged. it’s not to say he wouldn’t enjoy it if he tried it, but rather he is too afraid of the feeling of being stuck. vulnerable. at the mercy of someone else, even if that person is someone he trusts. he just can’t let himself be in that position.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

he finds giving easier than receiving. sinking to his knees, hiding between the heat of your thighs is comforting. the feeling of being accepted so close to your biggest vulnerability, it awakens the emotions pushed deep down inside of him. it makes him feel worthy. to make you feel good feeds his ego, and it’s difficult to get you through to your orgasm without his hand finding his arousal and joining you over the edge.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

dependant on his mood and his mental health. if he feels like he isn't drowning in despair, he takes his time. slow drag of his hand down your spine, arching you into position for him. slow but intense pace, losing himself in the steady rhythm of your bodies. but if he's empty inside, and the aching absence of light and joy is consuming him, he is almost merciless. it's not desperate, it's not lacking control. it's trying to spark life back into him through the one person that brings meaning to his life.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

he doesn’t believe in quickies. sex is an emotional experience for him, and he believes taking his time is part of how he can connect with his feelings. he doesn’t rush foreplay, won’t advance to the next stage until it feels right. that goes for both of you, too. he’ll be observant to your reactions,

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

he's hesitant to try new things. he knows what he likes, and what you like, and routine is something he feels comfortable in. he is more inclined to try something new if he can exercise control over you, as opposed to giving it up.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

no more than two rounds, but prefers one. sex can be initiated on a whim, but it's rare he'll ever let it be over quickly, or else he'd rather not engage in it at all. it's vulnerable for him, and building up slowly makes him feel more at ease.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

no, he won't use any toys on himself. but he will allow you to use them on yourself during sex, like a vibrator, but he does find it distracting. it's harder to feel in the moment, and he'll likely be a little dissociated during and even post-sex. it'll feel like he's being cold, but he's just in his head.

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

he's reasonable. he won't torture you, or push you too far during sex. foreplay is a little different, though. he'll take his sweet time initiating it. agonisingly slow trail of kisses from your lips to your neck, down your chest, abdomen... will even kiss down the outside of your thighs just to circle back up the inside. but when he gets started on the main event, he's much more forgiving.

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

controlled and restrained. he'd rather your sounds drown his little ones out, or else he'll focus too much on himself instead of the moment. but he isn't silent. he'll gasp, grunt, even growl if you let something dirty slip. especially if it's something that calls attention to the age gap.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

he feels a lot of shame about being so much older, but it fuels his sex drive like nothing else when you call attention to it. "old man," "sir," "appa," it all gets him feeling so guilty but insatiably turned on. if you bring any of it up during sex, it'll fuel a guilty orgasm, and he'll feel immense shame afterwards. but he'll never resist.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

he's toned under his clothes, almost religiously grooms himself. he is a touch above average size, around seven inches. but it's his girth that sets him apart. he's blessed and knows it, but even though he'll get a little shy if you say it out loud, he loves it.

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

low to medium. he's disciplined, isn't controlled by his dick, and appreciates saving sex and masturbation for when he actually wants it. will never jerk off or fuck out of boredom, thinks it's weak and counterproductive to maintaining a healthy relationship with sex.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

never. he'd never admit it, but he gets a little fragile. he needs time to process the emotions unsurfaced, or to sit with shame if he engaged in taboo sex (like ageplay if you had been calling him daddy sexually). he won't cry or get emotional, that's not his process. he needs time to lay there, thoughtful, quiet, maybe smoke a cigarette, and eventually he'll warm up to you again.

i yearn for this man can u tell. like, comment, reblog. love <33

It’s always Player 001

Poor Gi-hun should already know better.

So if there’s one thing we’ve learned while playing kids games that may cost your life; never trust the one who was the first to join said games.

When Geum-ja said no matter how I look at it life is just truly unfair and when Geum-ja said the bad people don't care and they'll burn the world and blame everyone else and when Geum-ja said that the good people are going to be blaming themselves for every little thing that happens and that they tear their own hearts to shreds and when Geum-ja talked about how her son was the cause of his own destruction every time and how he blamed himself every time and how she ended up snapping at him and telling him he was pathetic and she didn't have a son and to leave her sight and how he took those pills and left the suicide note apologizing and when Geum-ja said she pulled him into the car and rushed him to the hospital anyway and prayed to god that she'd do anything to keep him and when Geum-ja said that in the end she still had to kill her own son after everything and when Geum-ja called Gi-hun sir while pleading for him to try again and help Jun-hee and her baby because they need someone like him and when Gi-hun said he didn't want to disappoint her and he just wasn't that guy and when Geum-ja told him she couldn't say she ended up there because she truly lived a bad life or if it was how the people upstairs wanted it and while she couldn't tell you definitively which was the truth she could at least say that it wasn't the baby's fault they were born here and they don't deserve to be faulted for that or die because of the sins of those around them and they deserve to survive and that it doesn't matter about who has already made mistakes it's about the hope for the future for the child who never asked for this and that no matter what we believe we deserve we have to fight for the ones who still have a chance even if it means trading our own destruction for the hope of a future for someone we don't even know will be worth the carnage

Ok. But imagine if he doesn’t come home. Imagine his 4 older sisters waiting for their baby to come home but he never does…

And they will always be an incomplete gonggi set…

I watched Squid Game season 2. From what I’ve seen, it’s interesting to see how the angle of the story has shifted. What I mean is that Season 1 was about how capitalism as a system destroys people. It’s a system that is inherently unfair and in order to be successful in it, you have to climb over everyone else.

Season 2, while obviously still focused on capitalism, feels like it’s more about human nature. S1 was “the system is cruel and unfair”. S2 is “while the system is cruel and unfair, people will nevertheless take part in it and even embrace it”.

We kinda saw that in S1 with Sang-woo and Deok-su. But in S2, it’s a lot more focused in the story. Thanos the rapper got screwed over by the crypto guy, but it was his fault since no one forced him to invest in the coin. Despite being screwed over, Thanos had no problem screwing other people over in order to get the money. The people keep voting to continue the games despite all the deaths. Tribes were formed based on who wanted to keep playing and who wanted to live. The old fucker (forgot his name) saying he has no problem letting everyone else die in order to win the money. And, of course, In-ho taking part in the games to ruin Gi-hun’s plans.

I feel that In-ho’s role in the story is what defines S2. Despite having lived through the horror of the games, he clearly believes in the games and what they represent. He’s the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” phrase personified. He was in debt, he won his own game, and now he’s got power and wealth. That’s what makes his rivalry with Gi-hun so interesting, it’s the capitalist versus the socialist. And I do think the socialist description fits Gi-hun since his character canonically was fighting for workers rights and his main focus is taking the system down.

I’m curious to see where they’ll go with S3. I can see it going two ways. We could get the happy, Hollywood ending where Gi-hun wins and the entire game gets shut down. I can also see a darker, more realistic ending where Gi-hun might succeed in taking down In-ho and the VIPs but the games somehow continuing. Because ultimately, you can’t destroy greed, selfishness and people’s capacity to be cruel to each other. That’s what season 2 established.

[ohwolfling]

I think in a way In-ho is a "girl in a tower" fairytale trope. There is something romantic, in a literary sense, in Gi-hun being the one he comes down for. But this also shows how different the two of them are. Gi-hun could never be a girl in a tower.

Gi-hun is someone who longs for community. Poverty and shame keep him from it, but he genuinely cares about people very much. Even drinking, smoking, gambling... those are the options in his life that make him feel less miserable about the reality of his situation AND give him the thrill and warmth of being surrounded by others.

In the pentathalon, you see these differences graze each other. Gi-hun is ready to be a team player. He roots for everyone. In-ho gets caught up in it, but he's also jockeying for access to Gi-hun. Gi-hun wants to be part of something. In-ho wants ownership, protection.

And that's why In-ho becomes what he becomes, seeing his grief as a badge of suffering that he can wear to justify climbing the tower, lording over others. Gi-hun wants to save lives. His tower isn't a tower, it's a hotel compound, it's a sprawling project. Even when Gi-hun is running a parallel kind of "game" -- offering financial aid in exchange for finding The Recruiter, etc -- he naturally leans towards teamwork and knows these people need this. Even in Gi-hun's singlemindedness, he's inclusive and community driven. In-ho instead has decided he's better above, and thinks he's going to make a cruel, ever escalating system into something "fair."

When Gi-hun tells everyone that he'll help them when they get out, he means it. That money never meant anything to him but paying off debts, saving his mom, keeping his daughter. With those things lost, which Gi-hun still takes responsibility for even though he sees the Games as the greater issue, he's found other people to root for. In-ho doesn't root for anyone. He's close to rooting for Gi-hun, but when your default is to possess things that has its limits.
