personally 👀 if u would like to elaborate on the saw au 👀 i am listening 👀
hi <3 this ask is months old <3 but i am answering it now teehee
SO. TMA SAW AU (disclaimer: i have only seen the first two movies so idk if these are very like. film accurate style traps)
basically it's just. what if a saw movie happened to the archive gang. they're all in one big space that's like a big trap in the sense that they all have the same time limit but they all get their own little traps also <3 the breakdown is this:
Jon is gagged with a camera in his mouth that he cannot remove without a key, it's strapped to his face with horrible rusted metal, y'know. Once time runs out, the battery powering the camera will leak down his throat killing him so so painfully <3 He cannot speak and must find other ways to communicate with the others.
Sasha has what is essentially a VR headset strapped to her head and she can't remove that without a key either. The headset is showing her the live feed from Jon's camera, so she essentially has to see through his eyes the entire time. When time runs out, two big ol' spikes will stab her in the eyes and give her a good ol' fashioned impromptu lobotomy <3
Tim's trap is a bit different from the others'. Instead of a contraption, he was injected with a paralytic prior to the gang waking up, and is paralyzed from the waist down. He needs a key to obtain the antidote for the paralytic. Rather than having a specific time when he suddenly dies, he's essentially either relying on the others to help him move/get the key/antidote for him, or he needs to move himself despite his paralysis in order to live. So when time runs out, it's either find a way to move anyway or wait for the paralytic to travel further through his body and kill him slowly after experiencing many terribly side effects (hypotension, bronchospams, and renal failure)
Martin is even more different. His trap is less about his death and more about saving the others. He's placed in a big freezer where he basically needs to find the others' keys in blocks of ice (joshua gillespie core) and if he doesn't, they'll definitely die. He also has the option of finding the key to unlocking his own door and simply escaping without saving the others. He also also has the option of only taking some keys, but not all. He will know which will save who, and gets to choose. The trap itself isn't that difficult, but there's A Lot Of Ice, and it's Really Cold and he's Already Been There A While so there's a chance of dying of hypothermia if he can't find the keys fast enough (or if he spends the time finding the others' keys after he's found his own).
Jon, Tim, and Sasha all wake up in the same room together. Jon wakes up first and is able to watch a video tape explaining what's going on, but it can't be watched more than once, so he has to explain what's happening to the others without being able to speak. He can't speak, only play charades and listen.
Sasha isn't able to see except through Jon's eyes, so he has to rely on the two of them to make sure she's not walking into more danger. She also is unable to understand any of Jon's explanations since a lot of it is through body language and She Can't See That, so they have to work together so she can watch Tim translate. She can't see through her own eyes and is forced to watch through someone else's.
Tim either has to trust that the others will come back for him (and that they won't die somewhere in this building) or get them to carry him around, slowing them down but giving him more of a chance at survival. He either has to take action, or simply wait and trust.
Martin has to make a choice between risking what's left of his life for other people (some of which who don't care about him), or saving himself. Even if the others find the room he's in, it's locked from the inside so it is entirely on Martin to save both himself and everyone else. Not only do the others have to rely on each other, but they all have to rely on Martin. The door will lock behind him when he leaves, so if he doesn't get everyone's keys, then whoever is left without one will die.
idk if these traps are entirely fitting for all their character's and flaws and whatnot, but for the research trio i thought it'd be fun to do an audio/vigilo/opperior with them and then martin gets to play god suddenly lol.
#fg's answers#asks#the magnus archives#tma#saw#ask to tag#i was also playing around with the idea of tim's antidote being in a locked box on his leg. like an evil thigh garter#but idk. perhaps.#but ye tim's trap also fits with his past trauma of danny's death and that bit about how he thinks he was a coward because he couldn't move#except he could. well NOW HE CAN'T <3#also i had art but i'm not super happy with it. might redo it sometime if people are inchrested <3

MORE SNEK PEKS - next update is going smoothly as it's only 4 pages. They're big build up pages ;) We even get to see the ever rare Toriel!
I do also need to sketch out a lot of future panels and cut down on some story things, so I'll need to focus on those more in the coming weeks.
#lol i think im getting antsy about finishing this part. It's easy with it only being 4 pages. But urggg backgrounds again...#Plus I have shots of like multiple characters in certain shots and need to do angles. How do comic artists do this???#i'm not being hard on myself! But it's more just a chore I have to do in some areas.#chara is like a confused dog#and kris is like a trapped cat in a box#toriel is just that mom who keeps trying to give you snacks in the car ride#deltarune chara timeline#sneak peak

was just thinking about how amazing it is that weird wonderful world and ghost files exist at the same time from the same company. you have the same minds, the same hosts, the same team and yet the shows are like day and night. www reminds us of the wonder and whimsy and joy all around us while ghost files showcases the world's darker side in its tragedies and horrors. and that they're able to execute both shows each with its own finely-tuned aesthetic and its own little universe is really a beautiful display of how much Talent and Love exists at watcher and it's so so special.
#i just picked out these two shows but the same could be said for so many others. that they even have so many to choose from is incredible.#really the show/season format of watcher is genius and they are so smart for thinking of that.#it lets them have so much variety in their content without getting themselves trapped in a box like they were at bf.#they can still hold onto the Ghoul Boys Spooky Vibe but also let their more lighthearted and wholesome sides show.#to borrow from miles. they are both spooky And cookie.#and it's cool to see other channels like the try guys pick up on the success of that and build it into their own channels in a way that's#not too different from what they were doing before.#grateful for it all. i love them and i love this community so much and i'm soso excited to see where we all go next.#watcher#weird wonderful world#ghost files#ahtw#ri.txt

wow...... MANY artists take requests randomly. this isn't the original anon, I just saw your post&was blown away by how rude it was. this anon wasn't even rude. artists are always putting out informationals with like guides on how to speak to them&it's the so egotistical&rude&controlling. I literally won't commission random artists anymore&only my close friends bc of these rules that change artist to artist&don't apply to everyone. anon asked you a simple question&was extremely nice about it&you chose to be an asshole in response. y'all act like you're training rabid dogs or something. just, say no, don't answer, or block the anon. like I can't figure out what ticked you off so much about that. talking to ppl like shit won't help them. it will just make people afraid to speak to you at all. anyways lol you're losing a follower&a fan. maybe let your anger out at the gym or something before you take it out on someone asking an innocent question. they truly probably thought "the worst they could say is no" &you proved them wrong. exactly the reason I no longer commission art from artists who aren't my close friends. my anxiety is too high to deal with the anger&your need to control how other people talk to you(even when it's not mean&they're just asking an innocent question).
Good lordt
Mate, I said "no hard feelings just letting you know this ask came across as rude" after we had a bit of a giggle about how funny it is that they hadn't stumbled upon the specific kind of fanart they wanted to see when IMO it's extremely common in the fandom, and then pointed them to another artist who had already drawn what they wanted to see.
"Don't ask/hint at artists to draw you things for free" is not being rude or demanding or egotistical, it's just a firm boundary. It's not a minefield to navigate, and artists who accept random requests usually say so somewhere in their bio/about. I also think blocking the poor anon would've been way more harsh and unnecessary than letting them know how their behaviour was perceived, cuz if they keep doing it, some other artist is going to be way meaner about it.
#I'm really not trying to be mean here. but I think you saw yourself in that anon and are taking this personally#like I wasn't even angry! if you felt my response was unnecessary and don't want to follow me any more then I get that#but you're acting like I fully unleashed on them and I really didn't#I know it feels from your POV like my response was inconsiderate but my POV is that it's minorly inconsiderate-#of artists' time not to check if they currently take requests before asking for one. Neither their question nor my response were huge deals#original anon if you're out there I'm genuinely not angry at you. If you message me again I'd be happy to link you more trans zoro art#and if you frame this sort of thingas a question like 'have you ever drawn/seen XYZ art?' you're more likely to get a rly positive response#and start a discussion and possibly even bag some new art out of it lol! my advice is to trick us like with cheese under a box trap

#I say on the Internet after freaking out and abandoning my room when I spotted one (1) fly on the wall#It was a very big fly tbf#that was 3 days ago#I have been trying to kill it for 3 days#I think it knows I'm scared of it#which is a little humiliating when I try to swat it and it just buzzes at me and I scramble backwards like a coward#So I tricked it trojan horse style because I a human (apex predator atm) was bested by a fly#I made a trap with a source of light and managed to imprison it in a box#now i wait for it to starve to death because I am too scared to touch the box#ew ew rw gross bug ew ew ew#♧other#pathologic#sometimes I still hear it buzzing in that box and defying death#It knows I'm talking about it and it is angry

had the most braindead repetitive conversation/argument with my parents. buzz cuts are too masculine but if you dye a design on it it become effeminate which is bad because then you look weak and if youre weak then society falls apart (all societies ever that have fallen apart for any reason are actually because of feminine men) and we start sacrificing babies. and also all mental illness is invented because only 4 people had anxiety in the 90s and covid was made up so that we would all become gay and trans and then the government can control us better and be joe biden's little sex slaves. and also i need to keep my hair long because my father finds it attractive. what
#lolaa.txt#what do i even tag this with . my mother wouldn't let me leave and i kept asking for sources and she kept saying 'i'm your mother!!!'#'i wouldnt lie to you!'#okay. say that to someone maybe who doesnt know you lie to them all the time.#its tiring going around in circles with her.my father is better because at least he admits when he doesnt have a reason for feeling some wa#also what got me. she said 'do you own research if you want!! but im right!!!'#yeahh not seeing anything about anything you just said. i think you made that up.#i have a theory that my mother secretly hates herself because she believes all women are weak and must serve strong men#and my father has so so much trauma and anxiety that he cant be that strong man#so now she feels like shes betraying her very biology when she has to step up.#and also because i am stronger than her now and my hair is long and far far denser than hers and i have a younger face#that she feels that im wasting my precious femininity that she could be using. does that make sense.#shes so miserable trapped in her idea of what makes a man and a woman what they are. once you stop caring about what makes someone somethin#you dont have to worry about anyone else.#im queer because i dont really feel that connection to biological and social ideas of gender that my parents seem to#never really have#im not gonna theorize 'ohh shed be happier nonbinary' or stuff like that because it is up to you and you alone to define who you are#if you spend your whole life trying to fit a box for the sake of fitting the box#then when would you have any space for self discovery#youve invented personality traits to go along with your box. now you can never ever change or grow as a person. congrats#and you know what? one day she will die. and that will be the end of that.#and i will live and i will probably shave my head a thousand times. and come up with new names#and new ways to be a better person that makes me feel happy#and i will dress like a boy because its all made up anyways. who cares.#and if you care? that much about what im wearing or how i look?#then thats your problem and i wont be responsible to maintain your happiness.#SORRY RANT OVER.#im just so flabbergasted. what a sad life someone can lead poisoned by jealously and reactive rhetoric.#tw homophobia#tw transphobes

I've never heard of emts working only at events? What's that like for you if you don't mind my asking?
Yeah, there are ambulance companies that staff certain events, but there's some event specific companies out there lmao. For me specifically, it's almost entirely college events, whether it's happening on a campus or not. It's not great, usually pretty boring, but it's better than being on an ambulance or in a hospital. We do get actual emergencies sometimes, but usually it's just getting drunk people to the tent or giving out water and bandaids lmao. Again, boring as fuck, but I chose this over working on a 911 rig, so that's on me 😔 if I'm being so real tho, other than my coworkers, the best part of the job is the food lmaoooo it's so good and all the food trucks/food booths give discounts or free food to us depending on the location and event. And there's almost always a ton of downtime, so I basically just get paid to sit there and vibe for the most part
#not snz#when i say i love my job i mean i love very specific parts of it lmao#idk if I've said it here before or not and this is gonna sound so bad coming from someone working in healthcare#but i don't like patients lmao#i love the book stuff and i love everything in theory and i know how everything works and I'm very enthusiastic about it#but man do i not like patients ahskaksk#there are exceptions obviously but those are few and far between#it's why i love being an emt at my fire station bc we don't reslond to medical calls#like I've done medical calls there for the public but very rarely bc people either approach us or we stumble upon them#so i really only do my emt things on the people i know and i love that#i love my coworkers so I'm always happy to make sure they're okay and help them out when they're not#but i feel nothing for the public and i didn't realize i genuinely couldn't care less about them until i started doing my clinicals#it's just awkward and I'm not invested in them i just like figuring out what's wrong with them and interact with them as little as possible#again there are exceptions and i do like some of the patients but generally I'm just trying to hand them off asap#so yeah i do like working events bc the alternative is being confined to a tiny box or trapped in a hospital#i like being outside and being able to walk around the place and do things if i want to#and obviously i adore my partner#and even on the rare occasions i work with someone else all day i love my other coworkers too#and i mean yeah this might be more boring than working on an emergency rig However#it pays so much better#like why do y'all think my medic partner works there lmao he's actually good with patients and prefers the ambulance#but the pay in the field is shit so he gets paid way more working events than he would at the three letter company#insane actually that he makes over ten dollars more an hour working chill events than he would being overworked on a rig#anyway i digress#I'm looking into pathology assistant school rn bc there's like no patient interaction there but i still get to be nosy#so that's perfect for me lmao#everyone keeps saying i missed my calling as a vet tho like i don't cry when a dog dies in a movie lmao i wouldn't survive#working with animals would be amazing but the only thing that really gets you money is being a vet#so that can be a hobby

i'm so mad at ai scraping for scaring me from keeping my fics on public.. it makes me so much more unsure than i would otherwise be regarding whether my stories suck and i need to step up my game.. or if they just have so few hits bc of lack of accessibility lol
#not that the hits are FEW#like it's still decent ig#but i'm starting to feel like i'll stay trapped in this box of <800 hits forever#and that ignites some long-standing insecurities that i am not a fan of lol#idk ig i'm just wondering if i should release them from private mode.. if it's worth the risk.. ugh. stupid fucking ai#writing#jules talks (and talks)

#my ultimate weakness i fucking LOVE that shit#need to trap me under a box? put a picture of a clone w/ a lightsaber#misc clones#lightsaber#star wars#don't even care if they're not force sensitive lmao let em have em#i've very biased and hypocritical on this honestly bc i don't think lightsabers should be handed out willy nilly BUT#i do have some [non force sensitive] clone + lightsaber headcanons like#some jedi teaching their commanders / captains / ARCs / certain clones how to wield their lightsabers for emergency situations#obviously for offense or as a cutting tool but not rly defense (can't rly deflect blast bolts properly if you're not force sensitive)#also some talented clones being able to wield those electro staffs (the ones grevious's droids/bodyguards have) in a more defensive measure#(like tech and echo) (in my headcanon)#obviously they'll never be able to match a force wielder in prolonged battle BUT being able to deflect a lightsaber hit might save them#and then yes obviously i've also got actual force sensitive clones who learn how to properly and fully use a lightsaber#dear god i'm rambling inthe tags as usual lmao#i'll tag this#sw headcanons#even tho it's all in my tags lmao

I folded laundry fresh outta the dryer tonight!!! I had folded a couple of big shirts for myself, but then got into A Zone because ADHD. If I walked away or sat down, the folding wouldn't happen. Seeing as I just had dinner and won't be able to lay down comfortably*, I opted for just folding laundry.
I FOLDED LAUNDRY!!!
Two big loads, another in the dryer, and one more that needs drying.
My ADHD let me fold laundry. Just...wow. Folks with ADHD will know how amazing this is.
Now it's late, and I get up early**, so time for sleep. I hope I can fold the last loads tomorrow. That would be fucking impressive.

It's only day two but I feel so overwhelmed and miserable. I don't know what's going on, I usually get really excited to work on attacks, but it's like everything is fighting me, like I keep expecting everything to come out bad or like I just don't like any of my ideas (even though I do). I don't know why
#is it burn out? am I just tired? will it ease up or am I gunna be fighting myself like this all month?#sunny with clouds#I just wanna draw man. why does everything just keep getting harder for me#I feel like I'm trapped in a little plexiglass box or something#really wish I could just feel normal for like. a week#delete later probably idk. this isn't really a vent I'm just really disoriented and genuinely confused#there is a spring inside me that coils tighter every day and I have no idea what will happen when it finally breaks
