Jiyeong My BABY AHHHH

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

everytime I remember that lesbian couple that have a marble statue of the two of them embracing and sleeping on a bed together over where their graves will be because the artists didn’t believe they would be able to be married before they died, so what they couldn’t have in life they could have in death, I fucking breakdown

do you think when she gave her name for the order the barista was like “that’s a pretty name! though I’m not sure how well it suits you”

has anyone ever talked about the fact that the first time we see sae-byeok she’s carrying an iced coffee?

this girl is literally barely surviving, committing crimes on the daily, probably only one step ahead of deok-su and his gang since she ditched them and they want payback, and she still found time and money to buy herself a little treat

and I LOVE that for her. so much. I hope she got a little cookie or something with it too

Whenever you feel like 10 kudos isn't much or enough, picture that number of people sitting in a room staring at you with stars in their eyes, applauding your work, rooting for your story or your writing. And you're not even a celebrity. Just. Imagine. That.

Its so weird for me to see toxic!Se-mi hcs (no hate against anyone who likes it), because I cant see her as a red flag or anything like that

Like look at her, she is such a cutie pie and she would be such a green flag girlfriend giving princess treatment

I forgot I had a tumblr page for a sec 🥴

"sang-woo didn't feel any remorse for his actions!!!!!" (rant incoming hi guys)

okay. im NOT an expert in facial expressions at all. but compare these images, during the later games (1: on the glass bridge, unsure of when; 2: after marbles before glass bridge, eating the consolation potato)

to these. (before marbles)

although he's still quite distressed (in the death games, wow! who would have guessed!), after marbles was when he genuinely started to lose his mind and spiral downward. i like to imagine in his head he’s fighting a battle between the overwhelming, harrowing feeling of guilt, and the need to win the games/being so desperate and willing to do anything to get out with the money.

in the first couple images, his eyes have that glassy, faded kind of look to them.

i do also want to take into account that sang-woo very visibly felt and looked guilty during the dalgona game. not because he lied about the game exactly, but because he nearly sent his best friend into death.

while i think it likely fucked with him self-consciously, i do think he was able to deflect it with "well he survived anyway" instead of wallowing in it like later.

(another thing i noticed (credits to @degenerata69 for pointing this out, i forgot where they said it but it made me do some deeper diving) is that sang-woo was one of the last triangle-shaped cutters to finish. i do think he was taking his time to ensure it didn't break, but i also do think his thoughts of guilt slowed him down. also his hands are shaking before the gunshots go off (seen more towards the beginning) poor guy.)

now look at his face after killing sae-byeok.

still a heartless monster with no remorse?

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

Writing is just aggressively whispering “Suffer.” at fictional people and then crying about it like it wasn’t your fault.
