Was thinking about my comfort films today and that led me to thinking about a L&C Nerve AU where Lucy desperately needs to get out of her abusive home. She's got an admission into a good university in London but doesn't have the funds to pay her way since her mother steals all her paychecks. Normally camera shy and extremely averse to attention, she tentatively signs up for Nerve initially as a Watcher while Norrie plays and eventually switches to Player when she realizes its a good way to make money that her mother can't take from her. Her friend George thinks its a terrible idea, there's always a catch to these sort of things, but Lucy's got no other options and takes the plunge.

Through her first dare she meets a handsome and mysterious stranger who only goes by Lockwood. The Watchers like them together and the two keep getting paired up. Lucy is fast developing a crush on the guy which seems reciprocated too despite how fast things are moving. But Lucy also notices something is extremely wrong when Lockwood keeps accepting the more reckless dares when its his turn but tells her to accept the less dangerous ones. Eventually there's no choice, though and he starts to jump to shield her in the dares. She calls him out on his recklessness and he doesn't deny it. She just can't figure out why.

George finally gets a hold of Lucy and tells her Lockwood is sus as hell since he doesn't exist anywhere online. He deep dives into the dark web for his research instead only to find Lockwood is actually Anthony Lockwood, who made local headlines buried deep about the last game of Nerve and how someone died playing it. Lockwood was at the scene of the crime.

Lucy feels betrayed and is ready to forfeit but finds she's unable to. Instead she's ready to go to the authorities but Lockwood keeps stopping her.

When she demands why, Lockwood finally tells her the truth: there is no way out. Either you win or you lose everything. Lockwood's only living family, his sister, died because he played the game last time. He was foolish and didn't realize until it was too late and when he tried to tell someone, Jessica paid the price.

He's playing the game all over again but this time with a very marked death wish. He had intention to survive til the end, ready to meet a gruesome death via some reckless dare until he met Lucy. He couldn't give up the connection he felt between them but also realized she was fast becoming a crowd favorite putting her at more risk by becoming key contender for more and more dangerous dares. Since Lucy was stubbornly unwilling to forfeit the dares herself, the only way he could think of to protect her, was to stay by her side and accept the more dangerous dares as they came so if push came to shove, he could give her an excuse to quit while getting his penance at the same time.

Was watching Blade Runner and the vibrant colors reminded me so much of Nerve (2016).

It's such a fun movie imo. Neon lights, motorbikes, death games, bisexuality, adrenaline rush. Gotta love the 2010s.

[ditto180]

So I watched nerve... Omg the adrenaline this movie made me feel.

+ it's so 2016 and I love it

like most Christian movies risen is cheesy and biblically dubious at times and gets loads of cultural stuff wrong for the sake of being recognizable to a primarily American audience but I'll readily admit the poor roman tribune's absolute bafflement at these religious weirdos who keep talking about love and stuff has me cackling unhingedly

Like, is it sound biblical doctrine and is it historical believable? No? Is it hilarious and do I enjoy seeing this random shmuck lose his mind going through what's essentially a very disturbing psychological thriller from his pov while the disciples are overflowing with joy? You bet??

The guy is dealing with horrifyingly decomposed dead bodies trying to find the right cadaver and previously sane soldiers going crazy and dead men being spotted alive and strange supernatural phenomena and angry gods and unexplained madness and religious fanatism spreading like a contagion, and meanwhile the disciples (and Jesus) are all like HELLO BROTHER WOULD YOU LIKE TO HEAR ABOUT THE BEST NEWS EVER :D :D :D
