Squid Game Soulmate!AU

457 soulmate AU where you gain the ability to see color the first time you touch your soulmate, and lose the color when your soulmate dies. In-ho and Gi-hun don’t touch until season 2 because they don’t really interact that way until In-ho enters the games. In-ho is obviously shocked by this, more so than Gi-hun because he thinks Young-il is just another player. When Gi-hun gets shot in the rebellion In-ho feels it, he sees the colors fade slightly. In-ho pretends to be captured in this AU, bc Gi-hun would know he wasn’t dead.

12 yr old me making “oc’s” for my fav media except it was just a female twin version of an existing male character, I would then ship her with a different male character (who usually had a good relationship with her “twin”)(I did not realize two male characters could be together) (child me finding out gay ppl exist)

there are 2 reasons why gus should've killed zenoheld in ep 39:

1. he, i assume, would've ended up covered in blood, which is very hot, which means that when he would've returned, spectra would've probably started making out with him immediately, bc personally if the most perfect and prettiest man in the universe killed for me and came home covered in blood i would have lost my mind, and i assume spectra would too (this is the most important reason)

2. zenoheld sucks or smth idk

Finally! The Enjolras cross stitch is complete!! I won't lie, this may be my best portrait yet. He is 7.5" by 9.2" (approximately) and used 100 thread colours. Total time spent was 119 hours and 5 minutes. Full breakdown of timing and comparison with the corresponding Grantaire piece is under the cut.

Following this I will be taking a small break from making Les Miserables themed big cross stitches (shifting over to The Terror for at least the next three I have planned) but hopefully we will come back for more Les Mis themed stuff at some point (I definitely have several smaller projects lined up including a couple of quotes from the Brick although when they will be made I cannot say).

I do plan to get frames made for this pair of pieces by the same people who did the previous frame, and hopefully in a similar style, then they will eventually be put up alongside my main Les Mis piece in my living room. However, due to temporary financial constraints, I'm not sure when I will get round to this.

So, starting with the elephant in the room: this took way longer than it was meant to. I don't think I have ever taken this many breaks from a project (not including pieces that are on hiatus). There are several reasons, I wont go into them but broad strokes are in June I adopted my cats and then in July I was generally Not Having A Good Time.

But he is done! And more importantly he took less time to make than R! (full breakdown of timing that piece can be found on this post here) I was expecting them to be similar but there's a full 9 hour difference. My daily and weekly averages were also less on this one, although not massively for the daily averages. Regardless of the 4 months total elapsed, in terms of working days, at 48 days Enjolras only took one more day than Grantaire. Longest stitching day was 7 hours and 56 minutes and there were only four days where I stitched for 4 or more hours.

The main thing I was interested in as a comparison point was the hair. I said at the time R's was the hardest thing I've ever stitched and I still stand by that - despite both having curly hair, E's was significantly easier and I think it entirely has the colour palette to thank for that.
