“the Shortest War

you need to develop obsessions with strange niche content

this is now a fic I’m planning on writing!

I’m not gonna do pre-game because we know that; she was recruited straight out of prison so there isn’t a whole lot to tell

stuff I’m planning to cover:

- the first day of the games; waking up, red light, green light, the vote (which way does she vote…?)

- the days spent outside after the ‘X’ vote wins, and returning to the games

- dalgona

- the “special game”

- events immediately preceding her first encounter with sae-byeok prior to the tug of war game

- offscreen events in the marble game

have I missed anything/are there any other moments you’d like to see? I can’t promise to include everything and some things might just not fit but I really want to write this!

I just had a thought; how did ji-yeong survive the night time brawl/“special game”? she wasn’t in gi-hun’s team at that point so she must have either hid or fought solo, right?

personally I think she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to kill people but if she was threatened she would absolutely have killed a man

I’m thinking shard of glass rather than bludgeoning someone with a metal bar. girlie’s already proficient with sharp objects

alternate take because suffering is fun: curled up under a bed in the foetal position with her hands over her ears waiting for it to be over

Actually the most lethal things in squid game are Seong Gi-huns pathetic puppy dog eyes

Head in hands y’all can’t do this to me

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

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

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 😭

the way junhee looks at gihun when he is telling them that he'll help them when they get out is so soft 😭

her eyes are shining and she is so hyper focused on him and she even smiles a little bit as he is talking!

motherdaughterism 🤧🫶

Seong Gi-hun has a type...

The pattern is there 🤷‍♀️

sorry for the squid game spam lately lol
