Fanfiction : https://archiveofourown.org/works/31111406/chapters/76869992

Sung Jinwoo is Jinah's maternal grandfather. Unfortunately, they are in a very very tight spot financially, so Sung Jinwoo decides to become a Hunter. He's a pretty athletic old guy! He's also Awakened! But he's still an old guy.

But one mana crystal is worth so much money that it's worth the risk. And hey, if he dies, Jinah gets a good hefty life insurance payout?

You know the drill afterwards, Jinwoo reawakens as an S rank, KHA discovers that Korea's 10th S ranked hunter is an old man (RIP), but the good news is that Jinwoo doesn't need to personally fight! He just sends his shadow soldiers to clear gates.

Still doesn't stop his system from forcing him to run laps and do daily exercise. He's a very FIT grandpa now.

The internets calls him a GILF (grandpa i would like to fuck) because he's basically a bodybuilder buff grandpa. Jinah is very grossed out by all of this, but she still call dibs on managing her grandfather's social media accounts.

Jinwoo doesn't know what the fuck is social media and he spoils his only grandkid, so sure, go ahead Jinah. (Jinah sends more thirst pics of gramps on instastory.)

Anyways, the purpose of me telling you all of this is that there's an old grandpa walking with a cane, dressed in a soft cozy sweater, and spoiling his high school granddaughter, but he's the most powerful person in Korea. Oh, and he's immortal. Oh, and did you know his "cane" is really a S-ranked weapon? His "caretaker" standing next to him is actually a shadow soldier.

Grandpa Jinwoo knits and buys fuzzy sweaters and cardigans for his shadow summons to wear. He's afraid they will get cold, and even if they don't, sweaters are just nice to wear! Also he's afraid about his new grandchild (aka the shadow summons) going around naked.

Yup Igris in a sweater. And it's not like the trendy beige/white/black color. Elderly Asian grandparents like COLOR, so he's dressed in a bright RED (for luck) sweater. With a scarf. Beru gets a hat too for winter.

Oh, and he feeds them too. They might not get hungry, but they can eat and what better way do Asian grandparents show their love than by stuffing their grandkids with food? Especially fruit.

Jinah makes sure to assert her status as the oldest/first grandchild of course.

(That one church that claims that Jesus Christ will be reborn as a Korean man. They are having a field day because they think Jinwoo is that man in question.)

For Sung Jinwoo's personality, it doesn't change.

Everyone around him does.

For one, suddenly all the females of all ages have a crush. You have the next door old widow who's heard that Sung Jinwoo is single and of her age - a perfect fit, don't you think?

There's the 20 something year old woman who doesn't mind the age gap because Sung Jinwoo is just so fit and rich. He's basically DILF material despite being being on the older side of DILF. (Hey, if billionaire 80 year olds can get 30 year old wives, Jinwoo can also have young women panting after him.)

ALL THE OLD LADIES AT THE SUPERMARKET TRYING TO HIT JINWOO UP WHILE HE'S GETTING GROCERIES.

Then another considering is that, given that Korea places heavy emphasis on respecting seniors, he gets more respect right off the bat. Or at least people wouldn't be so demanding towards him.

Well, okay, let me clarify this. While Sung Jinwoo is an E rank, he doesn't get more respect; people are irritated that this old man who's even more of a liability because of age is trying to join in. But I mean that KHA wouldn't be so rude and pushy (or even sus) that the feeble old man trying to earn some coin is faking his rank.

Here's another implication of Jinwoo's age: he was married in order to have a daughter (Jinah's mom). Where's his wife? What happened? Is he divorced or widowed (since he's clearly single now)? What career did Jinwoo have before he retired? What cool people does he know and how do these relationships impact how he decides to run his Hunter career?

I don't think his agency would remain 3 people and solely focus on gates. It would move a little larger; maybe he wants to hire his old coworkers who, seeing him, also want to come out of retirement. Or maybe his former coworkers (who are much younger) fell on hard times and are no longer employed, so he wants to hire them.

THERE'S JUST SO MUCH BACKSTORY YOU CAN ADD TO JINWOO SINCE HE'S OLDER!

Two grandpas going out on grandpa outings to the park to people watch and "complain" (cough brag) about grandkids, daydream how cheap things were back in their days, recall how the road to school was uphill both ways and how much better kids these days have it...

And then the press, being the press, decides to start rumors about Sung Jinwoo and Go Gunhee dating. "SPARKS FLY BETWEEN THE NATION'S MOST FAMOUS GRANDPAS?"

Ooh, drama!

I have to wonder; will Sung Jinwoo try to grandparent Ashborn or will he feel like a little kid again in the presence of Ashborn? Hm...

HOLD UP - I just realized that Sung Jinwoo -- since he's grandpa aged - lived through the Korean War!! (Especially, since he has to be the older brother to his sister who's Jinah's grandma.)

To make it more akin to his whole backstory in Solo Leveling, his father was a soldier, a pretty high ranking one, who went MIA (and presumed KIA) during the Korean war. At age 16, Sung Jinwoo was just a little too young to enlist, but he forged documents and lied to get into the South Korean military (or maybe he found other ways to help the military like support staff? Translator? I dunno.)

As a young twig, Jinwoo never did rise through the ranks; he stayed a grunt trooper by the time the world ended... but luckily didn't receive any severe physical injuries.

And then when he's an old grandpa, he signs himself up to be a hunter for the money to raise Jinah AND because he's a patriotic old veteran which gives him an edge on other hunters, no matter how low of an E rank he is.

He's lived through one invasion; he refuses to live through another - especially an invasion of nonhumans.

Sung Jinwoo: ship us? like shipping us to a new base as the old brass used to say in the Korean War?

Go Gunhee: No, I think they mean ship us to a retirement center?

Woo Jinchul who doesn't want to be the one breaking the information to the elderly but everyone else in the office is either a coward or is taking too much amusement out of this to help: No, actually they mean-

Sung Jinwoo: OH I KNOW! It must be a new slang!

Woo Jinchul, feeling greatly relieved: ah, yes it is, sir.

Sung Jinwoo: I remember when Jinah explained to me how SOB stood for Single Outboard Boat and that's why everyone was using it on the internet. The internet and new generation is so obsessed over boats and everything related to the sea, I really can't understand this craze for going to the beach... mutter mutter mutter

And then the two old men start complaining about all the newest weird fads going on with the youngest generation.

I should SS some of the nuggets of gold from Discord, so it's not so hard to find...

One: Shipping. MCYT communities on Tumblr have always tended to lean more tolerant towards shipping of roleplay characters due to the idea that this is a space for fans primarily. The creators who visit or actively use Tumblr like Eret and Martyn understand that this is a fan space primarily, and don't bother us for the content we make, and we don't bother them with it.

The number one worst thing you could do is share shipping content with creators who have not asked for it. This is a huge social faux pas here. Secondly, on the other end — writing callout posts for shippers here isn't gonna fly. Even for RPF shippers and people who may ship boundary-breaking pairings, our default is usually to not engage with these people rather than publicly call them out. It makes the space a healthier place for everyone and makes it much less likely that CCs may come across content they are uncomfortable with. It's also considered a social faux pas to ask CCs their opinions and boundaries on shipping, since that's bringing it up when they didn't ask!

Speaking of shipping, people typically don't mind you maintagging ship content so long as you also tag it as shipping so people can filter it. For Hermitcraft the tag is hermitshipping, Life Series has trafficshipping, and the lesser known DSMP tag is dsmpshipping.

Two: Reblogging. This is something a lot of newer users tend to struggle with. There is no algorithm on Tumblr, at least not one that works, so content creators rely on you reblogging their work in order for it to spread. If you see a fic or piece of art you enjoy, please reblog it! I often reblog art for MCYT fandoms I'm not even personally in.

Three: Tagging (again). There are a wide variety of tags you can use for your content! The most common tags you'll want to use are "mcyt" and "mcytblr", and any relevant series, pairing/group or character/CC names. However, please don't use the tag "minecraft"! Minecraft has an entirely separate fanbase on Tumblr that we co-exist with and have some overlap with, but don't necessarily appreciate seeing MCYT content in their tags. Any tag with "minecraft" in it is also a no-no, such as "minecraft youtubers" or "minecraft championships". Please use shorthands!

Four: Opinions on MCYT drama tend to be very different here than they are on Twitter. For instance, you should assume by default that most bloggers here either like or are completely neutral towards "problematic CCs" like Schlatt. But also, we tend to be very against spreading anything originating from leakers, and we also tend to not be fond of making posts "holding CCs accountable" for things they did years ago. Generally, mcytblr prefers to be a more drama-free community, and if you do engage in discourse, many would appreciate you tagging it as such!

Five: CCs do not need you to babysit them.

Generally speaking you will see a lot of jokes and memes on mcytblr that wouldn't fly on Twitter, and it is generally looked down upon to try to speak on behalf of CCs personal boundaries — they are grown adults, and you are a stranger! Calling out or harassing people for "breaking boundaries" is mostly just going to get you looked at strangely, especially if you don't have a source for your claims. Most of us will stop doing something if asked, but we don't need stans to tell us to! CCs can speak for themselves when uncomfortable.

Six: Most mcytblr blogs don't want CC notices. There are quite a few CCs who are active here, but the community is chill with them as they don't tend to talk about us elsewhere and allow us to do our own thing. We do not, however, like encouraging CCs to join Tumblr or to follow us or reblog our posts — many people here actually prefer being out of sight of CCs and many of us consider it rude to seek out attention from CCs outside of sending the occasional ask.

Please treat CCs kindly and don't gawk at them like you just saw a celebrity on the street — the ones who are active here are just Tumblr users like the rest of you! Seeing Eret reblog fanart or respond to an ask isn't something to point out.

reblog it from the person

you reblogged it from

I should probably-

I should-

Fuck it.
