Chat, what did we think was going on in Gihun’s head in s2e1 when he got back to his hotel and found the recruiter/the salesman waiting for him?
As soon as he comes in and sees him looking at the calendar, his expression is tense and scared. A second later it relaxes and he goes about his business, toweling himself off from the rain like he isn’t at all concerned about the gun in the other’s mind.
Did he expect the Frontman to have stepped out of his nightmares? Does he see the recruiter/the salesman drinking his lil yogurt with a straw and decide he isn’t a threat?
I think something else is happening; something I think about a lot with Gihun. I think he thinks the recruiter/the salesman cannot kill him.
I think one of the manifestations of his trauma, one of the adaptive delusions he’s embraced to keep himself afloat through all the grief and guilt and misery, is that the games can’t kill him. Not until he’s done with them.
I think he thinks he’s destined to end the games and ignores any fear or common sense of his own mortality.
Because if he cannot end the games, it means the hundreds of deaths, including those of Saebyeok and Sangwoo, are meaningless.
I think he physically cannot accept that nor his own powerlessness, and that he’s been driven to a point where fear of death cannot reach him past his dedication to his mission.
I think we see this delusion really calcify in the scene where he plays roulette with the recruiter/the salesman, and I love that that’s how the season presents Gihun’s current mindset.
so cuteeee
hi i feel really fucking mentally sick for some reason tonight do u have any fluffier sangihun hcs 💗 (sending this to multiple moots i swear im not like a hijacked bot lol)

-imagine sangwoo and gihun sleepy daysss. they just lay in bed glued together. They don't talk, just lay peacefully.
-okay but with all of this talk about them getting dressed in the bathroom together, what about when they are not in the games and they dress each other. idk i just find a cute image in gi hun putting on sangwoos shoes or sangwoo buttoning gihuns shirt.
-also i thought of a cute thing about if their moms lowkey knew about them. honestly they would support. i think sang woos mom would not push but kind of want them to be together so bad. she probably has said some weird vague shit about accepting sangwoo for who he is and that he should stay close friends with gihun forever. mal-soon however is tired of their bs. she aint going to do a thing if they aint going to do a thing, ya know?
-imagine their dates too!! i don't think they would do anything too extravagant. I imagine a lot of the dates are things they wanted to do together as kids but they were either vaguely or fully meant for couples or people who were crushing on each other.
-also them sharing things if they live together??? they only know whos clothes are whos by size but everything is pretty much put together. also sang woo teases gihun about his stupid dad clothes. its okay though because gihun bullies him back about the business smarty pants shit he wears.
my heartbreaking, nauseating, squid game edit of the day. this actually had me going “no no no no no” while kicking my legs.
Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary.

Reference the scene
Gong Yoo the man that you are
The Russian's roulette scene was INSANELY GOOD. Gong-Yoo's acting was just CHEF'S KISS.
Ps: Sorry if this looks like shit. 🤷🏻♀️
