Red Light Green Light vs Mingle
Squid game yap sesh
I’ve gone back into this corporate hell.
NYSC portal is fucking up.
But I’m alive so yay?
This is my ACTUAL first newsletter of the year and I’m beefing with all of you. How can I ask, TWICE, for everyone’s first meal of the year, TWICEEEE, and you all ignored me?
As punishment, I’m going to yap about Squid Game, so if you haven’t watched it, continue reading, cause I intend to spoil it for you.
I asked TWICE.
I’m so hurt.
As a person with her own thoughts and opinions, who doesn’t succumb to peer pressure, I watched the first season of Squid game in 2021, months after it aired and the clout had died down. I had nothing to watch and the premise was new so I said let me see the hype.
I finished it in one day.
When season two dropped, I didn’t hesitate. But I waited till I had the time and that came during my self-imposed year end break. I was in bed all cuddled up with my phone yelling at Player 100 and Player 044 while my sister looked at me like I was a wild animal.
Fun times.
Opinion no 1
That recruiter is so FINE. Now, call me crazy but the scenes where he was the most unhinged are the ones that made me fan myself in heat. People were terrified and I was flustered. He was threatening and killing people and I was kicking my feet while giggling. But my eye candy killed himself in a game of Russian roulette in episode one so I had to find another eye candy.
Opinion no 2
How on God’s Given Earth do you owe TEN BILLION WON. That’s about ten billion naira. At some point doesn’t a voice in your mind tell you to stop borrowing? Then he had the balls to act like it was a flex. I wish his old ass died.
Opinion no 3
If I catch that Shaman lady, Thanos and his player 124 sidekick outside, it’s on sight. All three of them deserved brutal deaths and every time they survived, I was genuinely pissed. That stupid weird ass shaman lady especially. Like you commune with gods and for some reason you’re in a death trap.
How you even commune with gods and owe money?
And don’t even get me started on Thanos. The fork death was such an easy way out.
Opinion no 4
The moment the subplot with Jun ho and the fisherman guy started to get interesting, they ended the season. And I will like to say, I called his evil fisherman ass out early. That old aloof guy facade wasn’t fooling no-one.
Also what is Jun ho’s aim? To get his brother back? Cause why else won’t he tell Gi hun?
Opinion no 5
I want to have Player 120’s sniping skills. Damn. But that will be a skill I will misuse so I’m sure God has a reason for giving me terrible aim.
Opinion no 6
Everyone always thinks it won’t be them until it in fact can be them. In this season, unlike the first, they had the choice to leave after each game and every time, majority of the idiots in there kept voting to stay, claiming one more game.
Then they die.
Like do you really think you’re that lucky person?
That’s the thing about hope, it feeds you delusions.
Opinion no 7
I saw this online that Gi hun, the previous winner is a gambler deep down, and in the second season he was gambling with his life and I think that’s so true.
You win a fortune and you decide to go back to the source of your unprocessed trauma to shut it down, with zero plans all while screaming to anyone, including the head of the game, that you’re going to shut it down. Why won’t they change the games to spite you?
After showing all your cards, you’re surprised your plan is thwarted. Then you lose the plot completely and say you want to sacrifice some people for the greater good.
How is player 001 in the first season, a part of the organizers and then you go and trust player 001 in the second season? Aren’t you supposed to have trust issues with that number?
Opinion no 8
Mingle is the most fun game I’ve seen on Squid game so far, after red light green light. Would I survive? No. I couldn’t even survive playing it on Roblox. But the chaos from that game was the most delicious thing this season.
Also its so fun seeing the scramble and dropping bodies in red light green light, after the first person dies.
I swear I’m a sane person.
Opinion no 9
That old woman better not die. I don’t care about her son but please, she’s my favorite character this season. Player 212, the crazy wild lady, was my favorite character last season.
If she dies…………… I’ll move on.
Opinion no 10
Player 333, the you-tube crypto guy, did not kill Young-mi. She was pushed, she wouldn’t have made it in time. He saved all five of them. I will die on this hill.
Another hill I will die on is that, player 388, the marine, gonggi, panic attack guy, had extreme PTSD. And his PTSD saved our trans sniper cause she would have died if she didn’t go get more bullets.
Third hill I would die on, Player 007, the son of the old lady, was dragged to the room. He did not willingly leave his mother and he held unto her for the rest of the game.
I’m dying on too many hills.
Should I stop? Do I have more opinions? Okay just one more.
Everyone shipping the front-man and Gi hun, players 001 and 456 respectively, are extremely funny and should never stop. Those edits make my day.
Oh, and they tried so hard to replicate characters from the first season into this one. Player 380 from season 2 was Player 67 and Player 095 was Player 240.
I’m done now.
Happy resumption to work
Happy resumption to school
Happy Birthday To Me.
Nah I’m kidding. It’s not my birthday. Not for another 25 days anyway.
Ciao!

New Year, New Me
So last year, my first meal of the year was Indomie (eaten immediately I got home from crossover), I was about to say I haven’t had my first meal of the year and then remembered, I woke up, went to the kitchen and by autopilot, soaked garri and drank it. I wanted to fry eggs initially, but I was too lazy. So now my official first meal of the year is gar…
If I no promote myself, who go promote me?
You're really good at this yapping thing cl. Nice page.
Watching squid games I had this thought that with the number of people that go missing yearly it could probably be real then last week on Substack I found a post about how apparently it really was a thing in Korea. Crazzyyyyy rightt
I was able to predict even before the first voting that 001 was going to be an inside man, cause what do you mean you've played an entire game and we're yet to see player 001 on screen? I wasn't expecting it to be the front man himself though, so I'll give them that.
All in all, I enjoyed the season, I don't even mind the cliffhanger
