Added 2025-03-25 14:00:11 +0000 UTCSeason two of Squid Game made me think and feel things, and a surprising amount of those things were queer.

2025-03-30 16:37:20 +0000 UTCI honestly did not expect season two to be any good, way too familiar with “Americanization” with good shows becoming popular abroad and being forced to continue. This didn’t feel like it even if it was, and I am very interested in how it will end. The characters were the spotlight for me, and I agree so much that those I did not expect to be rooting for I was involved so much, like Lee Myungi and even Thanos. Like… how did they make me care about those I would have hated so much in real like?? They were ALL interesting and captivating to watch, and while first season had solid characters as well, this was a whole new level. The ships were a cool new addition, even though I tend to think that the main “couple” between the MC and 001 made me more disturbed and anxious that shipping, even though they did give me similar vibes to Will and Hannibal. They definitely had chemistry, but a much less romantic one for me. I ship them, don’t get me wrong, but in a completely angsty and twisted way, where romance comes secondary. I did ship the girlies though, furiously, and slammed my husbands shoulder so hard it bruised in furry when 222 died 😭😭😭 Anyway, thank for this episode, I will be waiting for the next one) it was very interesting to hear your opinion and thoughts
