The IOF are terrorists and war criminals -void of humanity. Yet another tragedy, and people still turn away from this disproportionate amount of violence Palestinian people have been and are facing. I'm beyond deeply disturbed, this is just heartbreaking.

Absolutely no one is ready for this conversation but tbh I think the reason people (particularly film bros on YouTube) devalue Gihun’s character and call him stupid etc is bc he has emotional intelligence and internal strength and those are stereotypically feminine attributes

Said film bros will often go to bat for Sangwoo and say he ‘did nothing wrong’ and was the most ‘realistic’ character and that speaks volumes to me lol. To ppl and society in general emotional intelligence + kindness = feminine = weak, while harsh logic + physical strength = masculine = strong. So naturally that bleeds into our media analysis as well.

This attitude is everywhere but it strikes me as particularly funny wrt Squid Game S1 bc Gihun FUCKING WINS. Sangwoo LOSES. Gihun wins almost every game simply by being a good fucking person lol (I just reblogged a post discussing that not too long ago) and these same idiots just say it’s ‘plot armor’ LIKE DO U MEDIA LITERACY AT ALL. Not only that but Gihun wins against Ilnam too at the end like the series goes out of its way to show us that Sangwoo’s approach was WRONG. Also the series is not over yet u guys s2 was only half a season so we have no idea if Gihun’s rebellion will be ultimately futile or if it’ll end up actually changing things in the end.

Also P.S. Gihun is a regular fucking jackoff. He is not a superhero or a warrior or a fighter in any capacity whatsoever he is a regular jackoff who has spent over half of his entire projected lifespan being a regular jackoff. He doesn’t have any special training, at least not when it comes to armed combat or espionage. I’m gonna need ppl to give him a break and instead give him his goddamn flowers for having the ovaries of fucking steel required to launch a full scale rebellion while being a regular fucking jackoff.

TL;DR at this point whenever I see ‘lol Gihun dumb’ posts it’s actually just ‘tell me you completely missed the point of Squid Game without telling me you completely missed the point of Squid Game’

Say their names. Say their Arabic original names.

Edit: adding pronunciation from a Palestinian who teaches the different names of cities Israel changed.

Note: tel aviv is yaffa in the image. But according to video, it's in fact was named Qaryit Al Sheikh Mo'nes. And google says different name altogether. So ignore that one...

“his eyes are like angel, but his heart is cold”

I hc that Sang-woo is afraid of heights. He looked soooo shaken up before tug of war and you can see the same fear in his face during the tile game.

SCREAMING???? /VPOS

ANON, I LOVE THIS HC SO MUCH!!!! i went back to rewatch clips and wow it really does add something more!!!!

first, some screenshots from tug-of-war

persistent looking up, i'm not good at reading facial expressions but to me that reads as distressed. especially with the mouth hung slightly open.

i also noticed he's very trembly/jumpy any time there's a sudden movement (especially in the elevator) which is fair but it seems to be slightly elevated? or maybe i'm overthinking?

looking down. this time he seems genuinely shaken up.

SOMETHING THAT CROSSED MY MIND WITH THIS HEADCANON TOO. SANG-WOO'S FACIAL EXPRESSION CAN BE READ AS MORE HERE. THIS ADDS ANOTHER LAYER OF COMPLEXITY AND EMOTIONALNESS TO THIS PARTICULAR SCENE.

to me, adding this headcanon into things, internally he's screaming "hyung. im scared. im putting my life into your hands right now and im trusting you and i'm praying you won't make me regret it." sang-woo is trusting that gi-hun will be the strong leader (as il-nam said, "if the leader shows signs of weakness, then the game is already over") and putting his life into gi-hun's hands.

the fact that he's, once again, not leading, shows that he's putting so much trust into gi-hun's hands despite being absolutely terrified, trusting that he's the proper leader who will aid him to not get killed in what he could consider the worst way possible- falling to his death.

i think this is one of three details that show sang-woo does not consider himself better than gi-hun, nor anybody else in this place. he's not some pompous, shit he hates himself, we've seen this multiple times throughout the show. he respects gi-hun, he trusts gi-hun here, and if you add in the hc that he's afraid of heights and literally terrified, it makes things even stronger. to me, at least.

anyways. mini-ramble over

sang-woo's movements definitely get more erratic. you can see him visibly panicking more and more, his feet are sliding much more than the others, he just looks generally distressed.

now for the glass bridge!!

expression is hard to read but he definitely doesn't look mentally good here. he's either confused or internally thinking "shit." or both.

this might just be overanalysis but sang-woo being extremely pessimistic about the glass bridge in general reads off to me as possible cognitive distortions. wow! anxiety!

THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL ASK ANON. YOU HAVE OPENED MY EYES GREATLY.
