This whole photoshoot/ad for squid game 2 was so cute; and they must have KNOWN what they were doing with them gazing at each other and smiling. My 457 heart 💖

[rins-fandomfixations]

This man has completely enchanted me ✨

Have y'all, um. Have y'all seen this?

[rins-fandomfixations]

This is so darn accurate 😂 That's wild (and great photoshopping!)

i thought i recognised gi-hun's expression from somewhere

“I miss Gihun” i say, as if I know him personally and have fond memories of sharing laughs and profound conversations on my porch during the summer months with a glass of sweet tea in both of our hands

[rins-fandomfixations]

I don't know if anyone has already made this meme, but I've seen everyone compare him stuffing his cheeks like a hamster or squirrel, and it's too true and too cute - Ham-ham Gihun 🐹

I only see a hamster whenever someone posts this picture XD

Oh how I miss you, Ham-ham Gihun 🐹

[rins-fandomfixations]

Wow!!! Like when you put it that way...

I think it is kind of beautiful that from just 4 (FOUR!!!) episodes, this fandom community has come up with and created so many amazing pieces of art, fanfictions, fan videos, and AUs and think-piece posts. Of course none of this would have come to be without the foundation of Lee Jung-Jae and Lee Byung-hun chemistry and the intrigue and depth of Gihun and Inho's character dynamics

BUT! I am also so amazed and grateful for this ship's fandom's creativity and what everyone has been producing! Like the fanfics of 457 when Squid Game 2 first came out was like in the 100s, and now in like 2 months there are 1800!!! You all are amazing!

This hyper-fixation has both distracted me (in a good way!) and has kept me motivated while I'm doing work. 😆 But WOW - all this from 4 episodes is pretty wild.

4 episodes. we only had 4 episodes of these two together and that’s all it took to create this undeniable chemistry and flesh out this insanely intricate and complex relationship between them. it never stop unraveling. there’s simply nothing like it. it’s amazing. it’s incredible. a cinematic masterpiece.

[rins-fandomfixations]

Sooo true - This hyperfixation has really got me good this time.

I mean how could I not - Look at them! This whole video was too funny and too cute!

This obsession will last, I'm afraid ❤️‍🔥

[rins-fandomfixations]

THEM 🥰

[rins-fandomfixations]

Okay, let me cook a bit 😆 - I just noticed when comparing Gihun in the limo scene to when Gihun arrives again in the games, he has more of a mustache and stubble in the limo.

It is there before, but suddenly not there after when he is in the games. Where did his little mustache go? [I know we can probably contribute this to make up/lighting/different filming dates etc... BUT (LISTENING TO MY SHIPPER BRAIN)]

WHAT IF, what if...

In-ho shaved Gihun before the games too.

I've seen the notes and discussions of In-ho dressing Gihun for the games himself, and taking the fake tooth and tracker out of Gihun's mouth himself. Now let's add a delicate shave to the mix while Gihun is knocked tf out, cause In-ho's man gotta look good for the games (me: screaming into a pillow and kicking my feet)

Also, shaving can be soooo intimate (or dangerous) depending on the shave and who is doing the shaving.

If anyone decides to write an fanfic about In-ho secretly caring (and obsessing) over Gihun while he is knocked out before the game, please let me know. Or if anyone has already written or found fics like that, please send them my way! I need to scratch an itch ahaha.

(If it comes to it, I may just write it myself once this busy month is over ahaha)

[rins-fandomfixations]

I laughed out loud throughout the whole thing. These two men are so effortlessly funny and fun to watch, and I really hope we get more interviews and videos with the two of them together for season 2 and then for more promotions for season 3 this year.

Ughhh Lee Jung-Jae and Lee Byung-Hun are adorable and have my heartttt at this point.

LOL you know you are in the trenches of a fandom when you are waiting for a video to release and using it as motivation just to get through work. Definitely made my day though.

[rins-fandomfixations]

I decided with this Tumblr account, that I shall track all of fandom hyperfixations throughout 2025. Obviously with the banner, starting with Squid Game 2's 457 ship.

So...

Rin's 2025 Fandom Hyperfixation Log:

457 - Gihun and In-ho from Squid Games

I will say, JayVik had me in a chokehold for like 2 months at the end of 2024, but that was 2024, and this ship took me so damn suddenly. Like I have not had the urge to draw doodles, fangirl in fandom space, or have the urge to write anything about a ship in a very long time - like I don't even know how to make edits, but I have edit ideas. Also want to rewatch season 2 again already, just to rewatching with new eyes and a brain now in 457 brainrot.

Also please writers keep all the fanfics coming. <3 I've been reading so many fics of Gihun and In-ho for the past few days in between work, and it's been marvelous. Has really scratched a hyperfixation itch I was missing for awhile. These fics can be my motivation as work begins again :')

I feel I will be fixated on these two for quite sometime. Their dynamic is just so interesting and their motivations and moralities are not set in stone enough that it gives such great space for fandom writers and creators to play with. Love itttt.

(also would love to see other people track their hyperfixations - it makes for a really interesting thing to look back on)

[rins-fandomfixations]

I looove this 😂. I was like isn't Gihun taller? Then the perfect explanation for it follows (and drawn soooo cutely too). Of course In-ho would be standing on them pink guys just to be taller than Gihun.

Did you misss meee 456???

[rins-fandomfixations]

Yes - Me right now
