Just read a fucking excellent whumpy scene in The War of Two Queens. One of the main characters, a king named Casteel, is being held captive by the rival queen, his mother in-law (long story). He's chained to the wall with a chain around his neck that gets tighter if he moves too much. He already had a finger cut off, and he was bitten by a zombie-like creature called a craven. He's just been getting beaten too. Anyway, they woke him up by throwing ice water all over him, and then they tried to feed him some blood (he needs blood to heal, and he's been getting denied it and is starving to the point where he's so close to losing himself). The queen and some of her handmaidens are there to give him blood. Enough to keep him alive, but also enough for everything to hurt more, and for him to lose himself. He gets beaten as he tries fighting them, and they manage to force-feed him. I think at one point his head was cracked against the stone wall behind him. Anyway, fucking fantastic scene. I had an excellent time.

I absolutely love getting to read from Casteel’s POV in The War of Two Queens. Aside from the excellent whump it’s just interesting to see how much this dude swears in his head.

I’m having a bit of a love/hate relationship with this series at the moment. I’m finding some of the characters problematic, border abusive and this is meant to be one of Jennifer L. Armentrout’s most popular romance series… there seems to be a lot of contemporary romances out there with male characters that would be arrested if men in the real world behaved the same way. Is it really a fantasy…

jobs i think all the saw characters would have if they weren't in saw, and didnt all have like the same 2 jobs (discluding some characters who actually have independent jobs, who i'll just put their regular jobs) with some explanations........
john - architect/engineer (obviously); too old to do anything else (jk) and also the jobs just perfect for him
jill - engineer (obviously); i feel like she could also do some childrens programs though, similar to what ill say to lynn, because she wants to feel like a mom since she never got to be one ,,!!
lawrence - doctor (obviously), oncologist; i dont actually have anything to say about this one but. stream oncol-la-la-la-logist from saw the musical
adam - veterinarian, and freelance photographer on the side (obviously); you know if youve read the og script he talks about how he wanted to be a vet. well we're gonna let him Yeaaaa.
amanda - journalist; a mostly independent job, and i know her and adam are similar in how they are the eyes in the sky, i also think she has very strong senses of justice for this job
lynn - doctor (obviously), pediatrician; she works with kids to help her through what she won't be getting to do with her son, to protect him--so instead pays the service to other children
kerry - lawyer; like amanda, a strong sense of justice. not only do i think she is very good at thinking under pressure, but i KNOW shed be serving cunt in that courtroom
eric - highschool sports coach; has a lot of pent up anger and likes to have control of his situation, especially by people who will just. listen to him. he also uses this to try and get close to daniel by working at his school (its probably not working)
daniel - minimum wage grocery store bagger; hes like a teenager, its this or working at an ice cream parlor and ones less socially demanding for the awkward kid he is
strahm - chef; another job for people with anger (watch the bear streaming on hulu), but idk if i can back this up by anything other than saying his face just looks like he makes a mean omelette?
perez - ceo of some financial services; money money money must be funny in a rich mans world. i know shes super confident and was definitely a math mu kid in school so i think she could top off some banking job, but would probably do some local volunteer service stuff as well #communitygal.
hoffman - detective (obv); since his name is legally detective!! just kidding idk i just cant picture him as anything else.
