SHE’S FINISHED
my first squid game OC!!!! I adore her. coming to a fanfic near you sometime this year
squid game fic readers, how many characters with -yeong at the end of their given name is too many?
my upcoming WIP features gi-hun’s daughter ga-yeong as the main POV. I have an OC who I’ve been trying to find a name for, and research has given me the name chae-yeong which for a number of reasons fits her perfectly, but she’s going to be part of the core trio with ga-yeong and I worry it’ll be confusing to keep up with
do koreans ever go by the first part of their name only? we call sae-byeok ‘sae’ but is that a westernism or is it actually the done thing? because I could introduce the character and then shorten her name to chae immediately
Idk gang anyone have any thoughts
Someone will always write faster.
Someone will always have a bigger audience.
Someone will always seem better.
The only writer you need to be better than is past you.
update; her name is gonna be min chae-yeong and she’ll go by min for short
this is great because both ‘yeong’ and ‘min’ can mean jade spending on the hanja used, and that’s an important part of her theming and design. ‘min’ can also mean ‘clever’ or ‘agile’, both of which also suit her

Not on anon XD but still wanted to send an ask. How do you think it would play out if Saebyeok and Jiyeong were the ones who were the final players? Would they vote to end the game or would Jiyeong want Saebyeok to win?
hi!! thank you for the ask, this an interesting one!
I genuinely see them leaving together; I think Ji-yeong might go in with the intention of giving up her life, but I think Sae-byeok would plead with her not to.
in the fourth game, Ji-yeong was willing to die for Sae-byeok.
after another game, another brush with death, and two more nights together, with fewer people to come between them and more opportunities to talk? I think the heart-to-heart they had in the marble game would have happened organically even if they didn’t play that game together, in another way at another time. a lonely night watch together. a moment of vulnerability somewhere.
what I mean is, I cannot see Ji-yeong willingly leaving Sae-byeok having become closer than they already were. Sae-byeok is everything Ji-yeong needs — family, love, shelter, someone who cares and will fight for her. someone who can love her.
and Sae-byeok would fight for her. she begged Ji-yeong not to die for her, and she wouldn’t allow her to here. Ji-yeong could step out of the squid and lose the game, but I think Sae-byeok would stand in her way and tell her that she’ll leave with her. that she’ll fight for her. that they’ll make it work. Ji-yeong doesn’t have nothing any more. they have each other.
finally: when Ji-yeong played the marble game with Sae-byeok, she repeatedly talked about what they would do together once they left. she was so enamoured with the idea of spending life on the outside with Sae-byeok that she literally forgot that one of them had to die. that is not the thought process of someone who has already decided to give up their life.
when the gun was pointed at Ji-yeong, she was holding back tears. she was scared. she didn’t want to die, she chose to because she valued Sae-byeok’s life above her own. because the alternative was continuing a life that she saw no meaning in, knowing that Sae-byeok’s life was ended for her. it wasn’t worth it.
given the choice between death, a life without Sae-byeok — financially assured, but at what cost? — or to leave together, with a home to go to? Ji-yeong isn’t a pessimist. the moment Sae-byeok shared her dreams with her — Jeju island, a home, a family — they became Ji-yeong’s dreams as well. she wanted them for Sae-byeok, and she wanted to be there with her.
they’re leaving together, Sae-byeok immediately takes Ji-yeong into her apartment — or wherever she’s staying. she’ll make it work, for her — and they start over.
I listen to the soundtrack sometimes, especially when I’m working on a fic if I want to get into a particular mood or headspace, but I cannot listen to ‘Dawn’ because it only plays in that one scene and it’s just so sad. I start crying every time
gamerant I will personally murder you for this atrocity
*sees a mutual in my dash* i love you 🥺🫶 *sees a different mutual in my dash* i love you 🥺🫶 *sees yet another mutual in my dash* i love you 🥺🫶
I feel like the squid game fandom goes so quiet so quickly. like i remember 2022 hit and even tho i wasn’t in the fandom, i knew almost NO ONE talked about squid game anymore. like what is it about the show that makes people abandon it so quickly? i feel like there is so much to talk about and build on as fans. i hope it doesnt die only a year or so after the finale… otherwise it will be like 5 sg fans lmao.

i've barely thought in depth abt this so it very likely doesn't actually work but squid game au where gi-hun notices sae-byeok's injury sooner and tries to get help for it like in the scene in the show and sang-woo still goes to try to kill her like in the show but gi-hun manages to stop him and either he or both of them try to help her with her injury or the game staff do smth abt it (probably unlikely tho) and they do end up voting to leave (maybe they vote to leave while sae-byeok is still injured but because they decided to leave they treat her injury then or smth. i imagine they treated gi-hun's injuries after the final game before taking him home in the show but maybe i'm being too generous) and the 3 of them just have this thing going on that's kind of like found family but not (worse) but is mostly just them trying to cope with their experience in the games and sang-woo still having resentment to both of them for having them leave without the money and gi-hun kinda feeling that way toward sang-woo for trying to kill sae-byeok and prioritizing the money over their lives (among other things he did) but also they still care abt each other (and of course gi-hun and sae-byeok care about each other too (and maybe over time sae-byeok and sang-woo grow to tolerate and then care about each other too)) and idk where i'm going with this i just want the misery and resentment and something that's kinda like found family but more fucked up than that
so many people not wanting to give kudos to ao3 works that they like if said works contain smut, because they're not comfortable having their accounts attached to the works. and the intention of this post is in no way to guilt trip or manipulate people into doing anything. that being said, I'd like to let you know that if you want to give your favorite authors kudos on their works that contain smut (or works that do not contain smut), but are not comfortable with your name being attached to the works, you can still give them kudos by logging out of your account before doing so. this way your kudos will appear as kudos from a guest user, your favorite authors will still receive your kudos, and your account will not be attached to the works ♡
I FINISHED THE SCENE
FINALLY got a burst of inspo for my jibyeok fluff WIP, I’ve been stuck on this scene for like 2 weeks but I just figured out how to wrap it up and move on to the next one!!! maybe I’ll work on it tonight; I really wanna get it finished so I can move onto my next project (also squid game obv)

Ji-yeong Master of Puns, bad jokes and annoying the hell outta her gf 🧀💕 For my buddy @marblewon, based off her big brain post !!
i just know ji-yeong loves loves loves reading those bad cheesy jokes that they put on popsicle sticks/candy wrappers/etc to sae-byeok
update on this! I have a plot outlined, some character concepts, chapter titles, and an ending planned 👀
good news, gang!! the fic concept I thought up and then dismissed because ‘it’s definitely been done’ has in fact, to the best of my knowledge, not actually been done
the last thing I need rn is another long-ish fic going but the more I think about this the more I need to write it
I’m actually amazed no one has done it but now I rly want to 😭

What could have been, what should have been.
I regret to inform you all that after consulting with a friend I WILL be adding a doomed lesbian to this fic, in keeping with the traditions of this series
ok squid gang help me out here!!
I’m planning a fic set during a hypothetical future edition of the games, which means I need to come up with a new cast of characters to interact with the existing ones who’ll be involved
can anyone think of any believable reasons why people would be joining the game, which haven’t already been done repeatedly? I’m trying not to inadvertently copy canon characters but there are only so many ways I can think of to get into vast amounts of debt
I’ve got a couple of ideas but if anyone feels creative and has any thoughts please let me know!!

You ever watch some episodes of a series and get so deeply attached and sad and emotional while watching that you can't even watch it anymore without getting an actual headache of empathy for the characters
