Season 2 of squid game:

Before I watched season 2 of squid game I was quite sceptical and not sure if I was going to watch it despite loving the first season.

I think what I worried about is a 2nd season made not to tell something but simply for Netflix to make more money. ie: captilism.

I'm already quite sceptical of other shows doing the same thing. I question, are they making another season of this popular show because it has more story to tell or is it milking it dry. And pushing a story for such reasons always ends up badly.

This was more worrying for me because it was SQUID GAME, the show criticizing capitalism.

I was worried it would take the amazing story telling and themes of the 1st season and throw them away. That it would be a poor attempt at trying to get the attention and money that it had in 2021. A poor copy.

(Needless to say, I was thankfully mistaken)

I saw a lot of fanart and fan content for season 2 which meant people liked it, 'and sure it maybe wouldn't have the same themes but at least it might be fun'--- I thought like a fool.

My goodness do I love season 2. Actually more than season 1 probably. Hot take I know. I'm not saying it's better, I'm just saying I enjoy it more.

It built on the themes of season 1 and is growing on the point it made. That's incredibly important for any show but especially for one like Squid game with strong themes.

And also it hit home to, because how season 2 (the games) were set up it reminded me so much of the political climate and economy in America. Its crazy to me that a show that doesn't even take place in America reminds me of America. I watched this season only a week or so after the inauguration and it smacked me dead in the face.

With the voting, how its main purpose is turning the players against each other. The red and blue color scheme of the votes (which is I think referencing the Matrix, the red and blue pills specifically) but also still reminds me of America's colors. How the voting and the fighting distracted the players from the true enemy, the ones with the money and the ones controlling them. My goodness kendnrjekkeke, I can talk about this season endlessly.

I'm also fascinated by the things that happened in the beginning of the season. Specifically the recruiter and what he was doing. It set up the season perfectly! It had a bunch of the major themes in his actions and also the things surrounding him. Like, the two loan shark guys (who one was the one that threatened Gi-hun in season 1 which reveals interesting things about Gi-hun), their friendship and how the dude sacrificed himself for the other. That single scene reveals that humans, people, even cruel ones, can care for each other and sacrifice everything. That was in the beginning of the season too!!! I found that it said so much.

Anyhow, squid game did have more to say, and I think it has much more. I excited for season 3

i was thinking the other day how we tend to draw cas and dean (correctly tbh) like

but in doing so we are betraying another fundamental dynamic of theirs which is more like,

First Meeting

This is made me cry

My c!Tommy exile arc zine is finally here! With illustrations inspired by @/alliumcola

I'm selling physical versions of this artbook for an extremely limited run of just 15 copies on Etsy.

Once they're sold, they're gone forever, so be sure to pick one up if you're interested or if you'd just like to support me and my work. 🌼

The best thing about being a stan of both Gi-hun and Jun-ho and constantly defending them as the perfect angels they are is knowing that the fucking main villain of the show agrees with me lmao

Me when I see Gi-hun’s stupid little dad outfits

Happy aromantic visibility day!! Love this aroace king

Im having the same problem. As much as I love inhun, I want to read more stuff than just them

okay but where are all the gi hun centric fics? i feel like we could explore so much angst with him, especially on the years between the first and second games.

You know what I just realized love about Cas? Early on, he's only a sassy piece of shit around Dean, but immensely well behaved around Anna/Uriel/Others/his bosses (changes with time).

It's literally Dean that prompts his absolutely hilarious levels of obnoxiousness and the only thing I can think of is that aside from annoying Cas on Earth, Dean also bit him or something while Cas was dragging his ass out of hell.
