it needs to be said
no movie or set of characters exemplifies "she lived, she served [you know what], she died" more than Assassination (2015). Can I offer you dark brooding Ha Jung Woo in a tuxedo firing two guns at the same time?!?! Jun Ji-hyun in a wedding dress shooting wedding guards with a pistol concealed in her bouquet and extra magazines in her stockings?!?! Oh Dal-su and Lee Jung-jae with truly next-level-appalling mustaches but also completely owning the vibe?!?! Cho Seung-woo as a revolutionary leader on the run coolly ordering his bodyguards around?!?!? All in the name of fighting colonial powers and restoring a free Korea??? With opulently rich 1930's costumes and mise en scene??? HELLO???
#I NEED more people to watch this movie please#and gif it#thank you very much#i didn't even mention some of the side characters#e.g. cho jin-woong in a truly heartwrenching role#assassination (2015)#암살#cho seung-woo

In which we are all Cho Seung Woo. (x)
#if this is real I love this so much#a) for the sentiment and b)#because this is the first time I've seen CSW make a negative comment about someone publicly#turns off the quiet sunshine persona to speak out against tech oligarchy afdksjhjh#*salutes grimly from the US*#cho seung-woo

“I don’t like Player 120 at all,” I say, as I suddenly trip and fall to the ground and multiple pictures of Player 120 fall out of my bag. “Wait!” I frantically cry out. "These arent mine!”

Cho ROK Special Force Hyun-Ju
#number one I've only watched supercuts of this bc Squid Game makes me physically nauseous BUT#number two: not to make everything About Politics and Especially US Politics BUT#even with imperfect rep to see a trans woman being the leader of a class war fight for survival in one of the world's most watched tv shows#in the midst of a time of fear and desperation and right-wing power grabs and outright fascism in the US and S Korea#has me crying in the club on a Wednesday#to see her be authoritative and loved and respected and cherished#to see people respect her and trust her with their lives while here in the US#white people just voted in fascism in part bc they were distracted by anti-trans and anti-queer hatred while we ALL struggle to pay bills#while trans women continue to be at the frontlines of social justice in this country and get no thanks for it#anyways I love her and I'm grateful to see her in a global phenomenon TV show and SHE BETTER F***ING SURVIVE S3#cho hyun-ju#player 120#squid game#squid game 2#guns#tw guns#death#tw death#violence#tw violence

HEYYYYYYY I'M BACK (in unexpected form)...per my original Word doc title: "god help me it's Michael Mann fanfiction"
Summary: Hanna misses the shadow. Neil shoots first.
Less than 1k, complete, alternate ending, major character death, missing scene, blood, graphic violence, drug reference (I guess). It's meta! It's angst! (It's me; what did we expect?!)
Stranger/SF content soon, hopefully?
#heat (1995)#vincent hanna#neil mccauley#the absolute chokehold that the final scene of this movie has had on me since i was a teenager#long before I actually sat down and watched the full movie#hey Siri how do I embody 90s Al Pacino energy without actually doing snow#(or god forbid being a cop)#anyways as you can tell I also geeked out about the botany#because god the forlorn beauty of it all after an entire cinematic world of concrete and glass#and nature just out of reach#I'll shut up now

Hello, dear friends!!!
Just suddenly wanted to say hi after a long hiatus - I've missed you all in the Stranger/Secret Forest community so much. <3 Long story short, last year to early this year (probably like August to February) I went through an extended period of inexplicable illness (plus a fluke back injury) which led to some truly miserable months of mental health. While I can't definitively attribute it to this, it ended up turning out that there was mold/mildew in the new house I'd moved into that was making me sick, so once I was able to break my lease and get out, my physical and mental health has massively improved! It's still a learning process every day, but I'm feeling so much more energetic and happy (knock on wood!) and am looking forward to being a much more active participant on here again soon, and dare I say finishing some WIPs??? (Just in time for the dreaded spinoff, eeeek.) Love to you all and so happy to see you again!

A police officer once said to me that people do things because they can get away with them. She said people do corrupt things because we turn a blind eye to them and that we can change it if just one person keeps his or her eyes open and barks at them.

LOOK WHO'S BACK, PEOPLE
(missed you all; been planning a s1 rewatch for ages but life and work have been chaotic)
Summary: While Yeo-jin visits Yoon Se-won, Si-mok pays one more call of his own on the way to Wonju. Missing scenes from S2E16.
2.1k, complete, slight warning for flashbacks to canon violence (including that one icky scene in S2).
