Up late watching tennis, reading an F1 romance book, while I eat cookie dough.

Is this figuring out adulting??

I don’t need a happy ending. I need our ending. The one that might be messy and imperfect, but exclusively ours.

AND I CRIED

I CRIED

SO MANY TEARS I CRIED

[giveamadeuschohisownmovie]

Premise of a spin-off Saw movie:

Eight superfans of Jigsaw wake up in an abandoned warehouse, unsure how they got there. They soon learn they’ve been kidnapped by “Jigsaw”. However, they’re not there to be tested. Instead, they will compete to be his next apprentice. Those who fail his tests will be put in a Saw trap and the sole survivor will become the next Jigsaw apprentice. The victims, being Jigsaw superfans, immediately agree to be part of the contest, even if it means they might lose their life.

The twist is that “Jigsaw” is actually Melissa Sing (played by Sheri Moon Zombie), the widow of the late Steven Sing. Some time after John Kramer’s death, she’s been kidnapping Jigsaw’s superfans/followers and putting them through Saw-style traps as a way of avenging her husband. The reason why she created this fake contest was to determine which of the 8 superfans was the most devout to the Jigsaw ideology. Their prize? Being placed in the most gruesome of the traps she invented.

Current body count:

Trap 1/the opening trap: Four people chained together must work as a team to solve a puzzle in under five minutes. If not, they will all be dragged into a wood chipper. Participants are (TBD).

If you have to change yourself to fit someone’s ideal version of you, then that’s not love.
