#Farah is not on here bc I can't do this to her

[rawstfish]

What Saw traps I would give CoD characters

I'm gonna put this under read more because It's gonna be long as hell. Also I am Jigsaw for this :)

He's getting this so I can watch him die. He would react like Peter Strahm did so he's getting crushed. I can't wait to watch him get crushed while mogging on him.

Price: Glass Coffin

It's a classic. It's an icon. He's gonna be fanboying while getting out. He will be successful and I am letting him take it home.

Gaz: Reverse Bear Trap

I wanted to give them a trap together and is more perfect than the spike trap for them. Mace is on the side that is only flesh wounds, while Ghost is on the side that is piercing his major arteries. Mace will not be able to get the spikes out though, because he can't kill Ghost even after all the shit Ghost has done to him. They will both be bitching and arguing in this trap.

Ghost and Mace: The Spike Trap

Soap: The Shotgun chair

I think I'm funny and I'm gonna make him shoot his own head. Makarov this one is for you <3 (OG Soap get's the flammable jelly. It would piss him off so bad but I think he could finish it.)

Thorne and Charly: Oxygen Crusher

I want them to do one together, but one of them does have to die. This would insanely sad to be honest, but it would be really fun. They would be communicating purely through eye contact and they know exactly what the other is saying.

Golem: Rigg's Trial

I think they are similar in the way that they wanna save people and that's what is whole trial is about. I think he'll be fine, this will be good for him. It's gonna stress him out so bad and he will cry but it will be awesome :)

Domino: The Scalping Seat

I don't know I just think this a good pick for her. Especially with Golem doing the trail and having to help her, this will bring them closer together. Domino is supposed to kill Golem if she freed, but I'm Jigsaw so I'll let it pass if she doesn't. They can work together on the Rigg's Trial :D

Wyatt and Talon: The Bathroom Trap

This would be the funniest fucking thing in the world. Talon is immediately fussing and yelling at Wyatt. I think Wyatt would be scared but he's covering up by telling joking and messing Talon 10x harder than usual. Wyatt is in the tub and Talon is on the pipe. Wyatt is losing that key just like Adam did. Talon is going to try his hardest to kill Wyatt. I believe in him but Wyatt also has dumb luck soooo...

Mara I'm sorry I wanna include the Angel Trap and you are who I chose to be in it. It's kinda unwinnable but I think Mara will find a way. She's immediately sticking her hand in that acid and getting the key. She would work fast which is why I think she'll find a way to win.

Mara: Angel Trap

Alex: The Death Mask

I just think this would be so cute for Alex. He gets to have a missing eye now too because he is winning this. This would be like nothing to him.

Of course they have to do a something together and the impalement wheel is perfect for them. It's literally lifting something heavy and holding it in place, they both got this. I can't decide who should be where so I'm actually putting them in there twice but they switch places. They will win both times.

Minotaur and Bale: The Impalement Wheel

This is just Nikto and Krueger's dream come true. They are killing Rodion and then each other. They are pushing the saws to have a strength test while flirting. Rodion's dead body is above them while they do this.

Nikto, Krueger, Rodion: Public Execution trap

Zane and Azur: The Steam Maze

This because they have to work together BUT in MW19 they are fighting with each other. This will help them work whatever is happening between them out :)

Grinch: Razor Wire Maze

This is perfect for Grinch, he will have a blast. He is gonna think this is the coolest and funnest thing on the planet, he's going to treat this like a roller coaster. I'm watching this and I have to go down there and tell him to stop. Then I recruit him and he gets to be one of the Pig Mask killers :)

Iskra: The Knife Chair

This is an easy win for Iskra and she gets to come out of it with face scars. She will be hotter, you can thank me later for my genius mind.

Nikolai: The Classroom Trap

Okay now I have group ones :)

This is an excuse to see Nikolai naked, because this is an easy win for him. Oh my god he wouldn't shut up about surviving a saw trap. He would tell this story again and again.

I'm making Graves choose his 2 favorite Shadow Company members. Lerch, Velikan, Roze, and 3 other members are gonna be on the carousel. Graves would hate this so fucking much, he would genuinely feel guilty killing any of them.

Shotgun Carousel: Shadow Company

The Fatal Five's Trial: Demon Dogs

This is an easy win for them and they are literally coming out fine. They are gonna get burgers after it. I can't have any of them die but I wanna put them in a trap soooo...

Nerve Gas House: Otter, Morte, Syd, Konig, Chuy, Fender, Yegor

I just think they would all hate this BUT still be smart enough to win, minus Yegor though. He would be too freaked out and not be thinking clearly at all. He's dying to the magnum eyehole. I'm making Otter get in the furnace. He would hate it soooo bad. I could see him seeing off the trap and the other's having to get him out because he would be low-key freaking out. Oh my god then they all could be like, "You should give me that antidote because I saved you." They are throwing Konig in the needle pit. She's literally tall enough to just land down there safely but they are pushing her in. Fender is finding the razor box and getting that antidote. I'm doing this because he has the biggest arm out of all of them so he has to do it. Syd is having fun messing with the other's but as soon as something happens to her she's not having fun and is pissed off. Chuy would be fine, he would be like Syd. They are sacrificing Morte. For what? I don't know they just are.

Acid Room: Alejandro, Rudy, Valeria, and Makarov

Alejandro and Rudy are choosing whether or not Valeria is dying by acid. Alejandro and Valeria are fussing and fighting for most of the time. Until he goes over to switch. BUT, he wouldn't be able to pull it because he does love Valeria. Rudy could pull it. Oh, Makarov is there on Valeria's side because she's his coke dealer. He can not lose his favorite coke dealer (spoiler warning: He's losing his favorite coke dealer)

Also dumb question

How would that call of duty characters fare on hot ones? How high can they get on the Scoville scale before they gotta tap out??

- 🔪

Using this scale as a guide:

The COD characters on Hot Ones

(This started out serious but devolved into pure jokes and slander)

Ghost, surprisingly, gets the furthest. I'd say he'd get around the Ghost pepper but would def get tears in his eyes and red in the face. In my mind, he's trained himself to withstand many kinds of 'torture' and that includes tricking his brain into not reacting to heat/pain receptors in his mouth.

Surprisingly (2.0), Nikolai. Not because Russians are particularly good with spice or because of stereotype, but because I'm 100% sure he'd handle a Habanero just fine. Something about him just screams it. Idk.

Gaz comes next. I'd say he can go up to Habaneros before he taps out. I hc that he was raised by immigrants and is used to spiced food, not just spicy, but well spiced too.

Alejandro after that. Might be me engaging a bit in stereotype but he, also, doesn't strike me as the kind of man that would eat bland food? Traditional Mexican food is well-seasoned and plenty spicy so... Cayenne-Thai levels.

Rudy fits here bc of the same reason as Alejandro. But he reacts worse, I feel like. In my mind, he gets red in the face and SWEATS when he's eating.

Price goes next and I blame that on the fact he's been all over the world for missions and deployments and probably has eaten food of all kinds, if nothing else just to experiment. That being said, he's definitely a wimp. Fits somewhere between Jalapeños and Cayenne peppers.

Farah and she's only this low because her country has been going through a revolt + she was in prison + she scavenged for food as a kid and I imagine she's not always had access to try super spicy food when surviving off rations. Fits somewhere between Jalapeños and Cayenne peppers but could definitely handle more if she had more opportunities to eat it more.

Laswell. I'm convinced she was a field agent for the CIA before becoming a handler and station chief. Aka, she was all over the world and ate all sort of things, just like Price. Fits somewhere between Jalapeños and Cayenne peppers.

Soap taps out the easiest on the 141 but he's still not really a wimp. He's just Scottish. Around the same level as Laswell, Price, etc.

Alex Keller comes next. He's white and American. Do I need to say more? I'd say he can handle a Jalapeño but will need loads of water and milk

Graves comes at the bottom of the fucking line. He's white, American and a yee-haw American at that. If Alex can handle a jalapeño, Graves can't handle yellow mustard out of the bottle.

AU brainrot update! (This has been sitting for a while now oops)

Now onto AU thoughts to celebrate the newest ArSen chapter coming out! I actually had to put the phone down and stop reading due to my brain coming up with new scenes and ideas lol.

So Azar is defenitly with Team Arslan after the encounter with Zahhak (she jumps in after they have gathered around Rukhnabad and threw a light rune at him to blind him)

(I am going off of chapter 128 for a moment)

She defenitly will tease Gieve for speaking badly about Kaykusrawh and causing the earthtremor lol

but when the others make their vows of loyalty she tells Arslan that what she has to do (fighting her aunt Farah) keeps her from joing him

Daryun reminds her of their promise in Gilan and Azar makes a deal with Arslan that she will return to visit Arslans court

Azar meets back up with the Maaren army and they station themselves around the tower and on the castle wall

So now we're in chapter 129 and Team Hilmes have been confronted by Team Arslan

another - smaller- army has infiltrated via the sewers (they are neither Andragoras army nor left-behind Lusitanians)

Farzin and his army watch Hilmes struggle to keep his composure with slight pitty

Azar keeps an eye on the busted door

When Zandeh wants to fight Daryun, Chabik (Daryun's dad. Yes, Team Arslan know this by then)  intervenes, not wanting to see his son fight to death (the dead had been called so that they could watch from the shadows more)

(and also Chabik is in normal parsian soldier armor and nobody relises who he is)

but gets recalled by Eldar so that he doesn't do anything stupid

(chapter goes as we see)

then the mysterious army comes in and it is Farah (Azars evil aunt, for those who can't remeber her)

the Maaren army goes into action with Chabik, Mehrin (Azar's mother) and Azar at the front

they mow down a lot of enemies but get stopped as Irsia (Daryun's mom, she is there... because of reasons) is being held hostage by Farah and Farah threatens Chabik with killing Irsia (tough luck with that, moron, she's already dead) and Daryun

Chabik goes nuts and rampages through Farahs army

they try to stop him but that makes it worse

(he gets exposed here aka his helmet flies off - the DRAMA)

Farah has no other choice but to retreat but in a last ditch effort to get the favor back into her court, she kidnaps Azar, Gieve and Alfarid (still unsure about the characters besides Azar)

now complitally impaled by weapons and being unable to prevent the kidnapping, Chabik collapses bloody all over

Irsia tries to calm him down but Mehrin is the one who does it with a slap (bc that is how you help your friends!)

Farzin asks Saam for help to help him find his (by Saam presumed dead) child

Team Arslan + Saam go to Maar!

And that is how far my mind went for the transition from semi-canon to full on fanon for my AU! As you can see, the ending is a little rough and very unstable as I now have catched up to the manga for planning and I have to go by the chapter and change a few things here and there. But this should be roughly how we get to Maar (and Azar backstory whohoooooooo! Finally, the actual reason/scene I started this AU in the first place!)

[dghdabigbang]

Here we have our Reverse Mini Bang WIPs!

Use this form to indicate which piece you want to write a companion fic for, and I'll update this post throughout the day to indicate which ones have been claimed. We do allow for double claims, but only after every piece has been claimed by one author.

1.

Vampire!Dirk and Familiar!Todd. Dirk is tall, elegant, long-haired and dressed in clothing reminiscent of classic Romanian styles from around the 1800-1900 turn of the century, including high-collared tunic and loose trousers, wide cummerbund and an extended cape-like shawl tied across his chest, all of which will be trimmed with ornate embroidery/weaving detail. Todd is dressed plainly in a hoodie and jeans. They are standing chest to chest, Todd in the process of tying Dirk's cape fastening for him. Todd has his head slightly bowed with a little secret smile, and is blushing noticeably. Dirk is gazing down at him wonderingly, his clawed hands hovering near Todd's waist, wanting to touch but not daring to.

2. - CLAIMED

A vague parody/homage of those really classic slasher horror movie posters. A shadowy forest scene from worm's eye perspective, Priest in the foreground (with a fucking machete bc FUCK YEAH) and Dirk and Todd in the background next to a tree looking vaguely concerned and frightened.

3. - CLAIMED

Panto and Silas are in a rowboat over the lake at night. Panto is kissing Silas’s hand. Final plan is to have it zoomed out a little farther and digital. There will be a forest in the background as well as the smiling moon. It takes place at dusk. The flowers on the bow of the boat will be glowing and there will be fireflies all around. I might make the boat bigger.

4. - CLAIMED

Against the dark backdrop of the backstage of reality, Hugo Friedkin stands at the bottom of the image, with lightning-like streaks extending from his hands to top of the image, where there are constellation shapes.

5. - CLAIMED

This time I'd like to see some crossover with Doctor Who - some playing with an idea that through his life Dirk met the Doctor in his/her different regenerations. This art will illustrate such a meeting. Dirk is pre-Seattle at his London agency. The Doctor he's chatting with is 13 but the writer(s) can explore other meetings as well (with Dirk being a young boy Svlad, a Blackwing project, a student in Cambridge etc). Their conversations can be light or angsty, it's the writer's choice. I imagine in this particular scene Dirk is feeling rather lonely, at the start of a new chapter of his life while the Doctor faces some of her own internal struggles. But it can be a fun conversation as well. Can't wait to see what an author will bring into it!

6. - CLAIMED

Dirk Gently is lying stomach-up on a couch, his left knee pointing to the ceiling, his head laying on the armrest. He is smugly explaining something to Todd, Farah and Mona, Todd and Farah standing behind the couch, Todd annoyed and Farah confused, and Mona sitting on the ground near Dirk's head, also confused.

7. - CLAIMED

Todd sharing his music tastes with Dirk via headphones and an old-skool MP3. Dirk and Todd are standing next to each other with music notes swirling behind them. Dirk has one hand on his headphones and one hand on the MP3 player that Todd is holding in both hands.

8. - CLAIMED

Good Omens/demon & angel AU Brotzly. Dirk finds a lonely Todd and decides to offer some company. Dirk and Todd both have wings. Dirk is standing, smiling and waving at a sad-looking Todd who is sitting and looking up at him.

Again, here's the sign-up form to claim which piece of art you want to write with!!!

[septemberrie]

Hi! What's your take on Rosalind as a character? I still haven't made up my mind. Is she after Bloom's dragon flame because she's power hungry? Or is she really trying to save the Otherworld from the burned ones? I think Farah said she was a zealot, is ending the war all she cares about? I also find it hard to believe ANYTHING she says lol, she's lying to someone (or everyone) about what happened at aster dell. What reasoning was she following that made her think genocide was necesary? (A)

(B) ambition, psycopathy, the belief she was doing it for the greater good? Also what if she lied to andreas? Beatrix thinks aster dell was a fairy village and her family was from there, did andreas lie to her or did rosalind lie to him? One more thing, I think she is a mind fairy but I've seen many believe she's an air fairy, which one do you think she is?

Wow Anon okay I wanna hear more about YOUR opinions bc you gave me so much to chew on here!

My opinion on her is colored by what I like to write about in fic. Obviously in fic it's fun to have an unabashed villain, preferably with some reasoning that explains their behavior but does not excuse it. So what the fuck could explain Rosalind a) tricking her followers; b) into committing genocide to an entire town; c) even if it's blood witches? d) knowing that she would be captured, imprisoned, and then set free; e) and orchestrating the coverup of one of her follower's also-not-death; f) and hiding a fairy child with him?

This got long so under the cut 👇

I'll be honest anon I'm coming up empty on what could explain all of these points because it makes my head spin 😅 Clearly Brian Young has galaxy brain over me, a mere mortal.

But in general, my thoughts on Rosalind are that she's psychopathic, because she doesn't seem to care much for others' feelings, she is demonstrably a master manipulator, she has a clear lust for power. I think the Fate instagram indicated she was an air fairy so I ascribe to that although I also think that she and Farah are more powerful fairies than usual, so Rosalind was able to master the other elements of magic quite capably. If you've read any Rivusa fic/hcs it's pretty well accepted she used mind magic to control Riven and Dane in e6, I'm eager to see how that plays out for my poor little meow meow.

I don't think she lied to Andreas about her plans, but I do think she manipulated him about her reasoning. He's shown to be a skilled warrior that puts fighting/his career above his family and he isn't shown to question her goals or her methods, but when Saul tries to invoke his morals we're meant to understand that Andreas did have morals at one point. That means Rosalind had to do something or have something over him to allow him to follow her orders over any remaining conscience. I'm really really curious about what this could be and can't wait to see this in S2.

I see her zealotry in wiping out Burned Ones as an extension of her need for power, that she can't allow any being to be more powerful than her. I think she wants the Dragon Flame because it will add to this power.

We aren't given a ton of clarity over the power structures of the Otherworld but assuming Queen Luna is some sort of supreme ruler, and Rosalind seems to have Luna in her pocket, my thought is that Rosalind isn't going to stop at the Otherworld. I think she wants the Dragon Flame to do something with the Burned Ones being "the warriors of an ancient race" aka raising an army. My thought, although we have no basis for this in canon, is that she's also planning to take over the First World. It could fit, with her taking Bloom there, so she'd have a pulse on what's going on and a thread to pull if she needs connections.

Anyway this is long enough but talk to me anon!! what do you think? Do you think Rosalind lied to Andreas to lie to Beatrix, or was it just Andreas' bitterness to Saul/Farah/Ben that he lied to her from his own will? These three (four if you count Luna) are such a mystery and I really hope we spend some time in their heads in s2.

mishka said one time that vampires can't have piercings because the holes will heal up and genuinely it hurt my feelings. like that was the first time i had to sit back and be like what the hell is this girl thinking... the people want pierced vampires!!!!!!!

do you know how often i think that woman is incorrect about her own characters and story? constantly NCLSHFKSJDKSHDKSJFKDJFK

here’s my question: would their old piercings heal? like if let’s say morgan had her ears pierced before she was turned??? will they close???

like do their scars go away?? bc that’s kinda technically why piercings don’t close like thin scar tissue is formed so the hole stays behind. i mean i REFUSE!!!! to accept a doesn’t have a face scar of some sort for personal reasons like i just want them to have a little brow scar so bad 🥵 JDJDJDJDJDJ

anyways. piercings. like?? if they kept something in the new piercing hole?????? how is it going to heal????? like???? i don’t understand HDJDJDJ like is their skin just going to??? Consume the little stud????

and then also tattoos!!!!!! how does it work!!!!!!! if they were to instantly heal, would it just be an instantly healed tattoo?? or are we talking teen wolf season 3 ep 1 (yes i like teen wolf That much to just Know 😁) where scott goes to the tattoo shop n the tattoo just fuckin disappears? so derek has to redo it a ~special~ way? like what’s the tea!!!!

WAIT THOUGHT I HAD WHILE ANSWERING THIS: doesn’t farah have her ears pierced!!!!!!!!!! like aren’t the hoop earrings canon or is that something we all decided? i mean i Guess they could be clip ons but i’ve never seen clip on hoops before

[farahblack]

[ID: reply by @h3rmitsunited that says: "You have my attention and I am very curious lol l'm going to guess that Dirk is Beetlejuice bc main character vibes?" /end ID]

yes u are right! im thinking dirk would be beetlejuice, todd and amanda are the ghosts, and farah + patrick and lydia are the people moving into their house

the plot starts out with todd and amanda living together in their (parents'?) house, she has pararibulitis and he's living with her so he can take care of her. they have the money to afford this house somehow. maybe it's the 80s instead of 2016? idk thats irrelevant.

idk if they die the same way as barb and adam in the movie because it depends on what stage of character development amanda is at i guess? if she's still never leaving the house then idk how they would drown, so maybe like, a piece of roof falls on them together or something. but if amanda is already venturing out of the house occasionally with todd then they can still drown lol

(but if amanda wasn't at the stage where she ever left the house yet that leads to sooo much fun potential for some scenes... like todd freaking out about how they can't leave the house anymore and amanda saying that its not like she could ever do that anyway... but also the other side of her not leaving the house when she was alive and continuing to be confined to it while she's dead... ohoho but i digress)

dirk of course is beetlejuice ROLEWISE bc obviously since this is a concept and not a play-by-play of the movie so like. dirk does not get beetlejuice'd persnalitywise. this is probably obvious to u all but i need to establish that anyway

anyway dirk has a holistic bio-exorcism business yippeeee i actually had to go do smth after writing the last paragraph so ive lost my train of thought but im gonna try to finish this post

so todd and amanda are haunting their house, patrick spring, lydia, and farah are moving in. todd and amanda want them out of their house. series of events happens that leads to no one moving out of the house, and todd and amanda finally reading the manual and going into the netherworld to talk to juno. who is. oh jesus i guess in this case its friedkin?? jgakskksj this is a horrible idea so yeah its gotta be friedkin. maybe ken and bart are also in the netherworld ? idk i didnt think ahead how to incorporate them into this maybe itll come to me later or maybe ken and bart are just not here

anywayyy they make contact with - ok here i am honestly a little torn on whether to follow the original BJ plot and make lydia relevant, or follow the DGHDA s1 overarching plot and make lydia relevant, or follow the DGHDA hands-on plot and make farah the one who sees them... hmm much to think about

ok i think farah would be the one who sees todd and amanda? but that also adds to the Plot Layers bc SHE doesn't actually want to move out but lydia does. patrick is just a background figure idk hes doing patrick spring things

and then yeah it goes from there :) i dont rlly have anything to add in terms of a plotline. only vibes. but it would WORK is my point like they could pull it off a dghda/beetlejuice fusion thing would be fun and cool and workable

dghda could pull off a beetlejuice (movie) au i know this im correct about this ask me about it so i can make one up on the spot
