#squid game popularity

[afusionoffandoms]

Still waiting for any sort of transmasculine representation to show up in popular media.

#but that'll never happen will it #transandrophobia #transandromisia #transmisandry #virilmisia #virilphobia #trans men #trans masculine #trans masc #transmasc #trans #transgender #lgbt #queer #equality #misandry #misogyny #people over here have no idea what popular media actually means #if you pick a random assortment of people (not just tumblr users) they would've heard about it even if they haven't seen it #examples are game of thrones or squid game or pride and prejudice or the crown #that's what popular media is #not some cartoon that the queer side of tiktok worships #⛈️

that squid game reality show genuinely & sincerely makes me so irrationally angry & the stupid ass takes surrounding it make it so much worse.

i actually sincerely cant handle it. it makes me so irate bruh

#mine #it's so fucking mindboggling it rly fucking is. #squid game has incredible writing that can be deep & intricate at times #but when it comes to the message & themes it was literally as blatant & direct as possible. #& it's great that it was tbh. esp w how popular it got. #but holy shit it also means when ppl just willfully disregard its message it is actually physically painful #bitches rly saying in defense of the reality show 'oh well the og show's games were only bad bc ppl died' #like... my dude. you CANNOT be serious. i am on my knees BEGGING for a sike you cannot be fr #did yall all just cover your eyes during the hell episode or what #did gi-hun's speeches to il-nam mean nothing to u. #literally what the entire fuck are u saying like the show didnt bash u over the head w a frying pan abt its theme #it's not even lacking media literacy at that point like it's literally not even up to interpretation #IT LITERALLY BLATANTLY SAYS THE POINT MULTIPLE TIMES I CANT #AAAAAAAAAAAA #i wanna rewatch the show ON netflix outta spite now. imma do that bye

GUARDS! throw this youtuber into the boiling oil vats for five million years

#squid emails #holy shit #i hate this because i recfognise my old self in it #NO ITS NOT #NO ARTT IS INHERENTLY BETTER #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #even if there was *better* art #It Would Not Be Video Game Music #video game music is good! i like it! #there is also popular music that i think is worse than videogame music #however #this idea is built off nerds who think composition is everything #who fail to grapple with themes and interesting ideas that non-game music produces #game music feels nice to them because of its clarity of purpose #but cant be bothered to think deeper about other music because the themes are deeper than surface level #GOD #HATRED AND HELLFIRE FOR THIS KIND OF OPINION

where is the kingdom fandom I’ve gone through the entirety of the ao3 tag already

#might write my own stuff I have brain worms #there are 2000 squid game fics. and like 200 kingdom fics #can we reverse this #yeah w/e squid game was more popular but why would u make a fic out of it

[askmovieslate]

Look! Look!

We’re doing the thing! The thing with the thing that was a thing a year ago and now nobody remembers! It’s the thing!

It was a pretty good thing, tho.

anyone else emotionally traumatised by alice in borderland season 2? 🥲

#mary rambles #alice in borderland #this show is SO good #will never understand how squid game got more popular

[cicadangel]

one thing i recommend for asian girls to do is do their makeup exactly like beabadobee and then when someone says omg you look like beabadobee you say no.... it's just bc we're both asian... tch

#i love doing this so sick and twisted #when squid game waas popular i got that saebyeok haircut wore green sweaters and fake freckles and would act offended when someone would sa #i looked like her. li ving is beauitulf

I've reached a point in my life where I can't even be bothered to get invested in new mainstream things, trends or memes because the internet's attention span is so small that I simply don't have time or energy to care before the new popular thing gets old. Like, I need to put so much effort into watching a show or playing a video game that by the time I get to it, people had already moved on, so I just. Don't. It's easier to just do my thing in relatively dead fandoms, I don't feel pressured to keep up or anything.

#bitches be aging #it's me i'm bitches #i'm so tired of people getting over shit in two seconds that i just #play my 10 to 14 years old video games #watch one (1) 15 years old anime #draw my rare ship content that would've been more popular 10 years ago #the only new (3 y.o.) thing i like is genshin but i'm addicted it doesn't count #i remember everyone going insane over squid game and how it had gotten old in two months or something before i could even try #made me realize how detached i am from popular shit

[suginoyosuke]

im siwan and park sung hoon in squid game s2?? fine I'll watch it 🙄😒

#im siwan #park sung hoon #squid game #honestly wasn't planning on watching it #it didn't need a s2 #they never even planned to make another season the only reason they did was because it was super popular and people expected another season #like don't get me wrong I liked it but I didn't like it THAT much lmao #my post

Splatoon 3 will contain a real photo of an actual dried up dead squid 

#its in the story mode reveal trailer. the background and tape matches up with that of the sunken scroll posted on the games twitter #so one of the sunken scrolls is just a dead squid taped to a piece of paper I'm not sure what lore implications this is meant to have #mypost #(dried squid is a popular snack in japan i think or at least the splatoon devs like it #But if you didn't have that context it looks like they crucified the damn thing) #splt

Being an early Splatoon 1 veteran feels so weird. Like I never ‘joined’ this fandom I was born here

#Like this squid game I was obsessed with when I was 12 is now one of Nintendos most popular franchises #This so... bizarre!!!!! #Anyways yes I am very excited for the splat 1 dlc I jumped and arm flapped and cried and threw up etc in class when it was announced

[afishcalledwanda1988]

the fact that dahmer is the 2nd most watched english netflix series ever is insane to me bc i havent heard anyone irl talk abt it. like i am not in an english speaking country rn but there are soooo many american normies here. wild

#it does seem like smth my mom would watch 💀💀💀 #for those curious most watched of all time is squid game #then stranger things then casa de papel then dahmer #didnt realize la casa de papel / money heist was That Popular #i just thought it was like a popular show in spain so its what they reccomend ykwim #?.txt

[primsycoldbottles]

ive never once been pressured into doing drugs or drinking alcohol but ive been pressured many times by random people on the internet to watch whatever new show just came out....

#peach patter #ofmd... heartstopper... squid game... #every time theres like. a new show on netflix that gets popular i cannot escape it no matter how hard i try

[citrus-soda]

i was on the fence about getting splat 3 just because I already have splat 2 and idk, you’ve played one you’ve played em all right? But oml the direct tore out my soul and replaced it with a squid. I want to play 3 so bad...I forgot how much I missed splatoon.

#citrussodatalks #the three idols was unexpected! they are all so cute... splatoon really has some fun character design #theres so much going on in the direct its insane #yes it is still squid shooty game at its core but theres so many new little things added on #i've heard conjecture that it might be the last splatoon game and it honestly does feel a bit like a big grand exit #also the mention of 3's storymode being the end to the saga is suspect... #realistically though i highly doubt nintendo will be willing to give up splatoon just yet #its popular.. its marketable.. its one of their newest IPs in a long time (i think?) #i mean think of how many marios and zeldas and pokemons there are out there #maybe this is the last mainline splatoon game but im sure theres tons of potential for spinoffs #splatoon is really something special. The music.. the art design.. the inspirations it draws from popular culture music and fashion #the world seems so alive and so lived in. these cities could exist here on earth. perhaps they already do. #long tags #sorry lol. im lov squib game

The only Splatoon meta I care about is the inkling/octoling ratios.

#mh current theory of why I’m seeing so many all-octopus teams in salmon run #is that people who are playing profreshional in the first month are more likely to be returning players #for whom octolings have the association of exclusivity #though I feel like even in turf war octolings have a slight majority #i believe the ratio may be evened out or even pushed back in favor of squids after christmas when there will be an influx of players #many of whom are new #it is possible this will also be an effect of any new hairstyles introduced as the octopus curls and pompadour seem to contribute greatly #to the popularity of the species #this is important to me because I love love love octarians so so much i physically cannot stop myself from playing octoling #but i do not want squids to be put in the minority for the squid game #wg speaks
