Okane, Laura, & Clae
A redraw from 2019, where I read the first book—fell in love with this trio—and then never picked up the last two books because I was afraid romance would be introduced (it was not, it’s amazing)
All to say, please go read this series

The Chronicles of Amicae would make for such a good movie adaptation. In theory anyways.
Like, I fully recognized that in practice the story would get butchered like every other book-to-movie adaptation because so much of Laura's inner dialogue would be missing, but I can fully picture the action scenes and the cinematography and it has the potential to be absolutely immaculate.
I feel like Laura would get a bit jankier because the viewer would be missing her side of things, and things like her interactions with Charlie would be missing a lot of context (assuming they wouldn't axe his character to save time).
I think her relationships with the other characters would have more potential for translating to film because there's a lot more physical events where the characters connect rather than so much of their initial interactions depending on backstory that is tough to fit into a movie's narrative.
In the Hunger Games for example, some people who have only watched the movies are skeeved out by Katniss and Peeta's relationship because the whole boy-and-girl-have-to-fight-to-the-death-but-wait-now-they're-in-love-maybe dynamic seems too abrupt, and a lot of that comes from the movies not being able to convey Katniss' thought process properly.
But in The Chronicles of Amicae, Clae and Laura have only known each other for less than a year, and they've only just met Okane, so we get to see their relationships grow and most of their interactions even if they're non-verbal can be easily understood from just visuals. Moments like when Laura steps in to help Clae fight an infestation even though he told her to stay back, or when Okane feels safe enough with Laura to show her his scars, are pretty straight forward with their message, and these scenes are visually oriented enough to translate well into film.
One of these days, this trilogy will gain more fans and will get the shitty adaptation it deserves and I will be getting front row seats where ever it's being shown!

So we all know this scene with John in Saw 3 where he has a seizure. Amanda gets forced into action by Lynn to hold his head and provide oxygen.
Tumblr media
It’s a horrible moment all around! Sheer panic and chaos… Physically John obviously has it the worst. But mentally? It’s up for debate between Amanda and Lynn, both women have their reasons to be heavily stressed with what is going on.
Lynn’s life is connected to John’s, the very man who is seizing on the bed right now- Whilst Amanda is watching her mentor slash father like figure throw up and cough blood…. But it wasn’t even that long ago Amanda saw a similar scene with someone else.
Tumblr media
Could this Amanda in Saw 2 know where she’d end up some months later? Having to repeat the same actions… I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned the similarities in any depth before between these scenes. Both times Amanda is powerless to stop any of it.

SAW 2 HEIGHTS
HEIGHTS FROM SAW 2! One thing I'll state with these comparisons is that I am by no means the most accurate guide to follow... I just browse the internet and eyeball it. Other things to keep in mind is height kinda looks different on everyone? John Kramer (Tobin Bell) is 5'10 but he's slouched a lot within the movies- I would've assumed Eric (Donnie Wahlberg) to be taller than him if it wasn't for searching up the actors heights. I've separated the heights between those in the nerve gas house and those who aren't. (Obi Tate and Gus may be a tad innacurate) From tallest to shortest now- Xavier Chavez is 6'0. Obi Tate is 5'9. Gus Colyard is just pushing to 5'9. Jonas Singer is 5'7. Addison Corday is almost 5'7 herself. Daniel Matthews is 5'6. Amanda Young is of course a rounded up 5'3. This leaving Laura Hunter... At 5'1.
Tumblr media
Daniel Rigg is also 6'0. John Kramer is 5'10. Eric Matthews is a smaller 5'10. And then Allison Kerry who like Addison is almost 5'7.
Tumblr media
Anyway! When it comes to this site and the avatars I can use... It's quite limited so expect repeats. There is also the fact there is less decent options for female avatars.

JIGSAW (2017)
Tumblr media
One of the most satisfying of the SAW movies. Cruel, ironic, puzzling, and intricate. I was concerned going in that this would be the beating of a dead horse but it was instead a song of triumph for the series. Heart Pounding, intoxicating, and sexy, this film is a worthy addition to an amazing series. The games and deaths felt deserved and purposeful but also fair and satisfying. 
⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
Tumblr media
Jigsaw is back with five unsuspecting villains who need to work their way to confessing their crimes. Starting with chains leading them to saws, the first victim was unconscious and missed the rules thus "disqualifying" him. The rag tag team of misfits (brought together more by chance than common theme) meet a purse snatcher who is presented with an obvious solution to her poison problem but instead tries to leave the group hanging (ha). Acid in the blood frees the gang up but leaves them with three.
Tumblr media
 An attempt to leave through a "no exit" door costs one hapless male his leg as he must choose not to let the other two people left drown in grain. The nephew killing conman is sent into a blender of sorts which leaves us with a daring duo who come face to face with John himself. The gun fires backwards, taking out our child killer while the drunken male is left for dead. Flash forward to the future where Logan, our doting protege of Jigsaw is getting jiggy with Halloran, the man who let criminals roam free, like the one that killed Logan’s wife. A stunning twist with a fake death reminiscent of the first film, what an amazing ode. "I speak for the dead."
Tumblr media
JIGSAW REWATCH
I knew this movie had a version of grain suffocation in it but it made more sense to me because they were being buried in grains, I didn’t know until A QUIET PLACE that you can sink in from the top which is somehow more terrifying and stressful. And, I love that Logan stood up for Eleanor, but he totally almost got her shot by Halloran and that was also stressful.
Tumblr media
This movie did a really fun version of the whole time jump thing without making a big show about it like in SAW II. It was very clever to have this be one of (if not the first) Jigsaw trap and yet also still be the 8th movie in line. Bringing back Tobin Bell as Jigsaw, not so much as flashbacks, but presently because we didn’t know how long ago the game was being played and the cult of Jigsaw was making it seem like John Kramer was still alive out there. Really a fun film that I am still impressed with. Wish it had a few more familiar faces but we got a bit spoiled by that from SAW 3D.

Screaming crying throwing up because not nearly enough people have read The City of Broken Magic.
Do you enjoy fantasy? Action? Found family dynamics? Magic? And a hell of a lot more?
Are you sick and tired of the same old storylines?
Do you wanna get your heart ripped into a million pieces and be buzzing at the edge of your seat for an entire trilogy?
Do you want to feel the heartache of only getting three books when you would consume anything and everything the author puts out?
Read the Chronicles of Amicae by Mirah Bolender, starting with The City of Broken Magic.
You will not regret it.

GABRIELA SAW X THINKS AND FEELS
Got bored so it's time to yap about Saw characters, today on the chopping block is Gabriela! Mainly Gabriela is compared with either Adam or Amanda, for similar and also different reasons. When it comes to the comparisons, with Adam it's usually down to the fact she and him both ''won'' their traps but were both still killed at the end (Also their wet pathetic demeanour said with all the love)- Then with Amanda, it's how both were drug addicts... Amanda basically sees herself in Gabriela and seems to root for her to win.
Tumblr media
She's likely most peoples fav new character coming out of Saw X. Gabriela has the most content produced out of all of the other introduced characters for example. However, I think one thing I don't always agree with from my own perception is how she's painted to be almost an angel (Within the fandom)? Gabriela is by no means an evil person, it's very easy to be sympathetic to her situation and I don't think that's a bad thing. But also.... SHE IS IN HER TRAP FOR A REASON? Just the same as Valentina or Mateo and or even like Adam/Amanda.... But the reception she gets to me at least seems different. First, I'll get it out of the way that this is slightly due to the fact she's shipped with Amanda. I do believe shipping generally sometimes changes fandom's perceptions of characters or tries to put them more so into labels? With that said, I also am aware of power imbalances between the characters (Such as Mateo being the one who supplies Gabriela oxycodone even if he states in the movie he will no longer be doing so going forward).
Tumblr media
It's hard for me to exactly pinpoint and or explain why I think this is when I look at peoples portrayals slash discussions of her character... If I had to narrow it down, I believe it's because I feel as though people don't put the same effort into analysing characters and exploring the nuance of them when it isn't a VERY VERY beloved/popular one. The argument to that is screen time, which does make sense? We get more of a feel for characters such as Amanda, John, Mark, Lawrence and yada yada, due to them being recurring characters. Then with Adam, even though he dies in the first movie? That first movie is solely focused on his and Lawrence's story mainly and not multiple characters, so the audience forms more of an attachment to him and his personality… However! I personally love looking at all characters so here I am. To me and likely everyone, Gabriela is a young and lost woman. She's basically going through what we as the audience would assume as the roughest patch of her life. She seems to be pretty early 20s and is obviously stated to be a drug addict, joining Cecilia's scam to feed her addiction with any money she gets paid with. Outside of this, we have no backstory to any previous occupations and or her education. Nor do we have any insight to friends and or family. This probably comes down to screen time and also the fact exploring any of this wasn't central to the story and the portrayal of her character… But generally, this paints Gabriela to be a quite isolated person outside of the scam. Personality wise, it goes without saying Gabriela would have a manipulative streak from all the scamming and needing to be able to source drugs. Interacting with John she uses very basic speech to interact and lie to him, but in reality she seems to have no issue speaking fluently in English. It makes perfect sense with the knowledge she is a part of The Pederson Project, Cecilia wouldn't have chosen someone who's terrible at lying or putting on a façade at the end of the day. This doesn't make her an evil person as I've said stated before. Even though Gabriela is choosing to source her money by being a simple pawn in a big scam- She still holds noticeable humanity to a degree, seeing as she encourages those around her in traps and has a more considerable reaction to their deaths than compared to someone like Cecilia. I think when it comes down to the cancer patients before John, Gabriela had the thought process of out of sight out of mind and would probably not dwell too much on the ethics of what she was doing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I think one thing for her character I'd have wished to see, is more interactions with people outside of a drug transaction and scamming an old man.... Oh and obviously outside of being in a death trap too- It isn't exactly an issue, but I think people spend too much time comparing or labelling Gabriela's character as a version of Adam or Amanda, more so than her being a separate person? Don't get me wrong, she very much so is a good comparison to make between the previously stated characters. However, I think I more so see her as a domino effect and even a symbol than being very alike to Amanda or Adam. Gabriela is one of the reasons Amanda starts losing belief in John's philosophy and this alongside Adam is then basically a catalyst to Amanda rigging her traps. Even with Adam's killing? Amanda somewhat becomes what Cecilia was to Gabriela in that moment within Saw X. Cecilia and Gabriela were also a minor foil for John and Amanda too.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There are so many what ifs with her character and how that would impact the story moving forwards. What would've happened if Gabriela had just died in her trap? What would've happened if she survived her trap? Or if she had never been tested in the first place... She as a character is one of the biggest stepping stones (whistles at myself) in the franchise when it comes to the outcomes of others, as her death is a catalyst to Amanda's future erratic behaviour and killings.
Tumblr media
But enough about Adam and Amanda- I can't likely explain this well either, but Gabriela gives off Laura Hunter vibes so much and both of these women I just feel so bad for at the end of the day? Them and their fashionable coats... The wettest eyes and demeanour. Anyways! These are all just my opinions, you don't have to agree with them of course but I like yapping and discussing things like this, so feel free to reblog or comment if you've got your own opinion on what I've brought up here. If you've read this far down- Thanks? HAHAHAHHAH
