Author's Note: A small request for an anon on tumblr looking for sapphic content. While there's not much there, I wanted something that hinted at Amanda pulling the strings earlier on in the game than the movie suggests so here we are! Also I liked finding out that Laura's actress was involved in making her more nuanced behind the scenes. So yeah, enjoy!

“And I will always love you.” The jukebox in the corner of the restaurant croaked out. There was a couple at a booth, and a few people sprawled across the counter seats. The song transitioned to something different and a bit more upbeat when the blonde approached the woman who was sitting alone.

“Anything I can get for you?” She asked with a smile. She flipped to the next page of tabs in her pocket book. The woman hardly looked up from the menu before replying,

“Just a black coffee.”

“I’ll be right back, just let me know if you want anything else.” She hooked the papers back into her apron and walked over to the coffee machine. The brown haired woman at the booth’s eyes shifted focus between the waitress and the raindrops that slid down the glass outside of the restaurant as she waited for her drink. Her head bobbed to the side as she saw a coworker of her waitress place his hand on the small of her back, only to have her squirm away from his touch. She didn’t really listen to what they were talking about, but he walked back to the kitchen soon after that. She came back, carrying a bowl over with creamer in it and dropped the cup off in front of the woman, “I know you said black, but just in case you changed your mind.”

“Thank you.” Her lip curled up at one end and brought the cup up to her face. The waitress turned back around, walking over to the other side of the counter to take another customer’s order. She shook her hand off from the heat under the table and looked at the cup for a second. It gave her mind something to focus on that wasn’t another game to set up, a trap to fix after Mark manhandled it… And her thoughts were drifting again. She took a deep breath and brought the cup back up to her lips when she knew the coffee would still be warm but not scalding. Nothing to write home about, standard restaurant coffee, but it was what she needed. She put one foot on the leather seat and rested against it before flipping through the laminated pieces of the menu for something. She raised a hand in an attempt to garner the blonde’s attention and the waitress walked back over to her.

“Changed your mind?” She smiled at Amanda

“Yeah, I’ll just take a plate of fries. And can I get a new ketchup bottle?”

“Sure, I’ll be back.”

“Thanks…” Amanda’s words trailed off as she realized it didn’t really matter what she said, the other woman was halfway to the expo window. She gazed as the girl talked up another co-worker of hers while waiting for Amanda’s food. Amanda absentmindedly bit her lip as she cocked her head to the side looking over her as she reached up and over the counter. A petite thing like her didn’t belong here. Neither did she deserve the ire of the Jigsaw Killer, watching over her like the grim reaper. Amanda whispered to herself, “Maybe… John was wr…” She couldn’t bare to finish the thought. It would destroy her. He couldn’t be wrong. Jigsaw doesn’t make mistakes. Amanda doesn’t make mistakes. No, underneath that bubbly exterior and smiles there must be something there that John knew she had done to deserve the test to come. He wouldn’t put an innocent into a game. Xavier was a drug dealer, Addison was a prostitute… surely she must have done something. The woman waved a hand at her co-worker and turned around to face the dining area. Amanda’s head moved slowly to face towards the entrance so as to not make it obvious she was surveying. When she thought no one’s eyes were on her, the blonde reached into the tip jar at the counter and plucked a twenty a customer had thrown in there about an hour earlier. Not daring to get greedy, she tucked it in her back pocket before turning to face the kitchen once more as the cook announced that the fries were up. She brought the plate over to Amanda with a smile, tucking her hair behind her ear after placing the food in front of her customer.

“Anything else for you right away?”

“Just some more coffee.” Amanda slid the cup towards her and with a nod she ran back to the machine. Amanda started to pick at the fries so as to give the illusion of eating. Another pass was made at the tip jar, this time pulling a five from the mix before finding its way back onto her person. In another life Amanda could have used someone as skilled in slight of hand as her. Someone that could’ve walked into Homeward Bound without so much as a trace and gotten the methadone for her. Just someone that cared about her and didn't see her as an item like Cecil had… but it was pointless for Amanda to think about now. She knew in her heart that John was right. That she belonged in the next game. She dropped the coffee off and asked about the fries,

“Everything okay?” Amanda nodded before replying,

“Yes.”

“Awesome, just let me know if there’s anything else I can get you” and she left like that. Amanda finished her things and went to the register to pay for her food. The blonde punched a couple buttons on the antiquated register before giving her a total. Amanda pulls out a couple bucks and a few coins before telling her to keep anything extra. “Have a good night!” Her hand brushed along Amanda’s for the briefest of moments as Amanda’s hand slid back into her coat pocket and Amanda’s face turned a soft red, turning away from the other woman. She walked around the block and hopped into her car before driving back to the warehouse. The flood lights were still on, John must be there. She walked in and stood before the man and told him,

“She needs to be tested.”

SAW II (2005)

I affectionately refer to this film in the series as the “haunted house one” because it takes place in a house… That is all. But seriously, it’s the only SAW I’ve seen that has that creepy Haunted House vibe on top of the already spooky SAW vibe which makes the setting different from the rest of the movies. This also feels much more like a crime thriller because we see more of a police presence from Donnie Wahlberg and the gang. Overall an interesting SAW romp but maybe not the best of Jigsaw making the guilty suffer.

(Trigger Warning Suicide attempt, needles)

⭐⭐⭐

I said this is the “haunted house one” of SAW and I mean that (other than the haunting), the setting for this film is mainly a decrepit house full of Jigsaw booby traps (yikes). Certainly not a house I would want myself waking up in, which is exactly what happens to all the little children in this movie. Also by children I mean criminals but don’t worry about that, that is for Jigsaw to worry about and us to find out! Anyway, the main cop, Donnie Wahlberg, finds out his kid is in with this group of hooligans and he needs to stop them before they hool again! But seriously his son is in major danger here. The chick who survived the facial bear trap (Amanda) is back from the first movie (yay for us, but sucks for her)!

This movie is very memorable for the nerve gas, the trick door (not so much of a trick, it literally said “do not use the key on me”), and the pit of used needles. It was honestly so messed up when the big brute threw Amanda in the needles and then fumbled the key she got anyway. This starts his rampage on everyone which was so uncalled for but there always has to be a Jack Merridew of the group (Lord of the Flies, anyone?).

Amanda seems really helpful throughout the movie but as we approach the end something isn’t quite right, the timelines aren’t matching up… Turns out the events of the torture and the investigation aren’t actually happening at the same time! What a twist! Old Jigsaw pulls a fast one on Donnie-Boy and locks him up right back in the room where it all started in SAW I (and it is confirmed that our best boys from that film did perish). The movie ends with a nice little “game over” again but this time from Amanda as she will be taking over for John (Jigsaw) when his cancer finally destroys him.

Saw 2 is supposedly the last horror movie released on VHS in the United States which makes it super hard to find (and super expensive)

so I have the Korean version & the cassette is blue which is way cooler

Daniel Matthews

I chose a German Shepherd for him very intentionally, being the son of a police officer. It’d make him more of an obvious target to the other victims in the nerve gas house.

I also wanted to show that he’s still just a kid, a puppy, so his ears haven’t fully erected yet.

Daniel didn’t deserve to be in a trap whatsoever, I’m so glad he made it out; I love Amanda’s bond with him in saw 2, and how he’s the only character to comfort her after the needle pit.

Expect to see him more, in his grown up form in the future ;)

In my au he ends up becoming an apprentice, and Adam adopts him as his little brother of sorts. They go on kidnapping adventures together.

Xavier is next btw
