Squidgame and Motherhood

Usually (at least in western media) adult men who still live with their mothers or even interact with their mothers more than "normal" are seen as 'mama's boys" these men are usually portrayed as overly dependent on their mothers , weak, spineless, and in some cases, romantically involved with their own parents. (EWWWWWWW)

Moms are also seen as nagging, controlling, demanding, or even a downright annoyance, something to be "put up with". Think of the classic nagging phone call, or visit from the in laws, or rivalries between spouse and mother that are prevalent in comedies. Very rarely do we actually see healthy functioning relationships between mother and son.

And in the beginning of the games, It seems like we're getting more of the same thing.

Our first introduction to the pair are when Guem-ja tells off Yong-sik, hitting him and calling him a fool for joining the games. She embarrasses Yong-sik in spite of his weak protests, playing into the overbearing mother and meek, subservient son.

But, as soon as the first round of eliminations are over, Yong-sik tells his MOTHER to get behind him, he tries his best to protect her throughout the games, as Guem-ja tries to protect him.

During the second game Guem-ja tries to leave Yong-sik, knowing he has a better chance without an old lady slowing him down. Yong-sik refuses, Instead he tells her to keep her head up and not despair. he does the same thing later in the episode. This shows another aspect of a healthy parent-adult relationship, they support each other and draw strength from that support.

In Episode, 5 when Yong-sik votes to continue the games Guem-ja tells Yong-sik how she can't lose him. Because when you become a parent, your life is no longer your own, at least not fully. You live for your child, you devote yourself to your child because that's your job.

My final thoughts are this: Yong-sik and Guem-ja care about each other because that's what a mother and son are supposed to do. and that's refreshing to see in a time where it feels like everyone is too eager to "escape" their family. (at least in media)

I'm just so happy to see a healthy relationship between the mother and adult son you guys!!!

TLDR: CALL YOUR MOM RN!!!!

So there’s a trend going round where you draw Miku inspired by your own culture and normally I just sit those out bc i’m from England but then the image of her covered in fake tan with the full chav makeup and sloppily bleached blue pigtails popped into my head and i almost threw up laughing. So here’s bri’ish Miku. She smells like impulse body spray and spent the last 30 minutes arguing with the teacher who told her to take her coat off. It’s chewsday innit

edit: i fucked up with the cigarette i know it’s the wrong way round blease stop making fun of me 😔💔

I think this is just a trend everywhere but I've been very frustrated this week by how much admin work is being outsourced to me as the patient/customer.

My orthodontist tells me I can make an appointment with the surgeon. I call the surgeon. They tell me I need a new referral. I call the orthodontist. They do a referral. I call the surgeon. Referral didn't come through. They tell me about their special unique system we have to use. I call the ortho again and walk them through the referral. I call the surgeon. They say the referral was missing some details so they have to do it again. I call the ortho.

The insurance company calls me about repair shops. I give them the name of the repair shop which I already gave them yesterday. They say they're not in their system but I can use them, but I have to call the repair shop to ask them to contact the insurance company. I call the repair shop and they say the insurance company is supposed to email them.

I feel like at a certain point these constant fetch quests become unreasonable?? Is it too much to expect these groups to communicate with each other instead of making me run back and forth between them???
