Rewatched s1e1 of Squid Game today, and was reminded that Gi-hun initially went into the games for Ga-yeong, and not for his mother. He went because she was moving to America, and his mum had said that when she did, Ga-yeong would forget all her Korean, and she and Gi-hun would become strangers who couldn't communicate. But, if he could prove he could support her, he might be able to get her back. Can you really live without her?
And this makes it so much more tragic that, post-victory, he literally couldn't bring himself to spend his money and go and live with her.
It's such a fascinating window into his character that even this, even his initial reason for entering the games, which would benefit not only him but his daughter too, he ultimately deemed to be less important than even the slimmest chance of stopping the games.
It is both breathtakingly selfless (his wants don't matter if he can't save people) and breathtakingly selfish at the same time (he'd rather take a chance on making a big change rather than take a smaller action that would definitely be positive) and LORD his characterisation is just absolutely impeccable.
Heart of gold x gambling addict my beloved.

Junho slowly dying from major injuries at the end of the series.
He can't run anymore. He couldn't even stand anymore. The base is quickly going up in flames. The others have evacuated, and the only ones left are;
Gihun, who's at the end of the group to make sure everyone is safe, (and that's means Inho and Junho)
Junho, who's practically dead weight and has no energy left due to his injuries,
And Inho, who is still holding onto his brother for dear life, injured but trying to carry his brother out with what strength he has left.
Junho collapses not even halfway through. Burning debris fell from the ceiling and hit Inho's leg.
Gihun rushes to them and tries to help them out. Inho can't carry Junho anymore, and Junho is not moving except for labored breathing.
Gihun is conflicted. He doesn't know what to do. He can't carry both of them and by the time he getd one out, it'll be too late for the other.
"Take Junho, Gihun-ssi"
"What?"
"There's no decision to be made. Take my brother and go!"
Gihun hesitates. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Junho spoke.
"Hyung?"
It was weak.
"W-why is it dark, hyung?"
Gihun let out a sharp gasp while Inho's ragged breathing was interrupted by what sounded like a strangled sob.
Gihun catches Inho's eyes, and they know.
Junho is not gonna make it regardless.
Gihun kneels down to Inho and tries, one last time.
"Let's go. You can still get out."
Despite everything, Gihun already knows the answer.
Inho doesn't respond. He just held his little brother tighter, carding his hands through the dirty hair of the modt precious thing he has left.
Gihun exhales and ran his hand through Junho's hair as well.
"I'll take care of your mother."
After sparing one last look at Inho, whose eyes are looking at his brother only, Gihun leaves.
The flames are getting closer to them, but Inho can't feel anything other than Junho in his arms.
"Hyung?"
"Y-yeah?"
"It's warm."
Junho nuzzles closer to his older brother. Inho does nothing but reciprocate.
"It is, isn't it?"
"I. Hah. I don't think our house had been this warm in a long time."
Ihno chuckles and sobs.
"Hyung?"
"Yes, Junho?"
"I'm glad you're home."
If I can rewrite this as a proper one shot, I'll be posting on ao3

They're Not Talking
Happy Season 3, friendos.
RAHHHH I LOVE THEM SM
this is so inhun coded
HELL HEAH I FW THIS HEAVY ‼️‼️‼️
In the "Gi-hun knows In-ho's identity but pretends not to and fucks with him right back" AU - when Young-il loses his jacket, Gi-hun grabs (recently deceased) Player 132's jacket and brings it to In-ho all innocent like "oh this one was on the ground and it looks like it would fit you 🤗 I didn't want you to get cold tonight when the temperature drops 🥺"
But actually he specifically wanted to put In-ho back in the mindset of his past self, to break through the Front Man mask, so to speak, and bring up the man he was before
yall i think he loves his husband...
