💢💎💕 ask game??
oooh nice! ill mostly answer these for saw i think
sorry it took me so long to answer :/
💢: sth u dont like about ur hyperfixation
the way that most people, including several of the writers apparently, seem to think john is some kind of godly supergenius tbh. sure hes good at mechanics AND predicting people and he sure had a lot of plans and manipulated people a lot! im not saying hes not smart, im just annoyed at this idea that every single thing that happened after saw 3/4 was somehow planned by him. JILL made the decision to kill hoffman, john didnt know about amanda's blackmail, and he died super disappointed in her. and also, which is related to this, it also makes people complain about things that make perfect sense when you remember that a) john is human, and b) that the majority of the traps we see in the movies werent made by him/were set in motion by his apprentices. one of my favourite things about saw is how human everything is, even if its batshit insane most of the time. john a hypocrite and his reasons for testing people dont line up or dont always make sense, but that man is literally just an old man dying from a brain tumor, i think it makes perfect sense that he thinks anyone who isnt as sick as him but unhappy is wasting their life or that he sometimes gets really into justice but gets it really wrong! not to mention that a good portion of non-main test subjects couldnt have even been planned by him. john sometimes punishes bad people but hes NOT a morally good person or even an antihero and when people assume that they get frustrated with things that arent even an issue. theyre all fucked up people but i really enjoy how human they feel despite everything, and that includes john
this is more about the way people treat saw than the actual movies but especially jigsaw & spiral both tend to play up john like some kind of immortal supergenius that planned everything ahead. the same kind of goes for especially iv and vi. i like john a lot but hes just Some Old Guy lol, hes smart but hes also hypocritical and self-righteous and way too sure of himself. and THATS the thing i like about him (and the majority of other saw characters tbh)!! its just annoying when that exact thing you like keeps getting ignored by both fans and writers
wow that turned into a rant lol
💎: fun facts/trivia
its rly hard to come up with something that i havent seen on here before But there is one thing!: all the traps were built to Actually work and even though obviously there were always actor-safety things happening thats so cool to me
the guy that played timothy young (twisty bones trap saw 3) apparently panicked when they first started the trap because it ACTUALLY STARTED MOVING AND TWISTING HIS ARMS!! obviously not far enough to actually hurt but its soo fascinating to me. (he was also okay later)
the glass shards in the glass coffin were made of rubber but apparently, costas mandylor slash hoffman wanted them to be real glass which i find highly interesting lmao. sometimes, behind the scenes things can tell you a lot about a person :)
And lastly there is also that one video of the water cube, where they almost Actually drowned the guy that played strahm. these movies arent exactly great about actor safety gkdkgk but theyre amazing and these things are super fascinating to me
free extra fun fact: this is the question that i took the longest to answer lol
💕: one of ur favourite characters & y u like them
so my absolute favourite saw characters are hoffman, rigg and amanda, but ive already ranted about rigg many times and amanda makes me sad so ill make this a hoffman rant lol
i really like how on paper, he seems like a typical slasher villain but then hes pretty much the opposite. ive gone through his tag and found slasher memes that included him before and theyre so funny to me because thats not Who He Is. sure, hes evil horror man who kills people and i agree that hes hot lmao, and i Love that hes those things, but hes also such a fucking loser fjdjfj. he didnt even want to join jigsaw in the first place but then got jealous amanda was the new bestest apprentice in town. he looks like he could throw me over his shoulder without even blinking but then loses every single fight he doesnt have help or tricks in or even plans to lose them. he get soo sure of himself and hes so smug about it and then slowly panics for an entire movie. hes very smart and almost gets away with everything TWICE but he also makes stupid mistakes. hes a slut (affectionate) but also no one wants him. he has three homoerotic friendships and/or rivalries in the 5 movies hes in and yet no one cares. hes full of contradictions and he girlbosses too close to the sun and i love him for that
also, this is basically the same thing as with john, but i looove how human he is. if you just read a very general list about his story and characteristics ("dead sister, alcoholic, cop, serial killer, etc") none of that is special! but the way that hes written? acted? wishful-thinked-by-me (lol)? idk one or more of those just add so much. he gets overwhelmed and he panics and he cries catching his first victim and its SO funny but at the same time it makes me like him soo much. he SHOULD be a pretty generic villain character but he isnt *to me*. im definitely reading too much into everything lmao but idk hes. just very fun to watch and think about :)
Thanks for asking!!

EP. 10 - “A Vote Where Everyone Gets Paranoid” - JOHNNY
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Regan got sent to ghost island and we lost her as a number we're going to rocks i accidentally sent a message in the main chat that i didnt wanna send and it incriminated the fact that regan wants to go for ricky we're going to rocks i kinda wanna use my idol to get out nicole bc jared could've sent her to ghost island to make her safe AND give her the chance to get an advantage, and personally I think it'd be hilarious to idol her out when jared could've made her be safe hmmmmmmmmmmm all things to think about.. regardless, I know I've got five, and the only thing I'm worried about is Nicole or Jared having an advantage from ghost island that can completely fuck things over

iiii can’t remember if i sent this or not so if i did oops https://youtu.be/Q3KsN3Bv1vc

So I kinda wanted to vote Dan out but this may be the day I work with Dan. Instead I'm voting out Johnny. Which may be a mistake later. But my goal is to keep asya/ricky and jared/nicole as close as possible. This split between Dan and Johnny was kinda fucking things up. So I had to get out Johnny instead. But I still feel like this may backfire on me somehow. Hope not. Anyways the new alliance with asya/ricky/jared/nicole/roxy is hot. All we talk about is kinky shit and being gay. And then in my chat with asya/ricky we talk about hating the blacks and how I'll win in the end with an all-white jury on my side (ne augusto). Then I talk about having jared be my bf with jared/nicole. I think I'm doing a GREAT job communicating.
Tumblr media
Yeet
Tumblr media
Okay so since no one is talking to me, I guess this is the best time to be making a confessional....... so I took a flight back home today from vacation, landed and got FLOODS of PMs from Roxy, Jared and Augusto saying that I'm the target, and it was all Dan's idea??????, and that I need to do something about it. Augusto and I were relatively calm bc we both know about my idol, but I'm really trying to keep it lowkey, and if there's no saving my idol, i'm trying to make sure that this idol play is done right Just up to this point, I've already told Jared that I understand why he can't go to rocks to save me (bc he'd leave nicole vulnerable)....... anywho this is what's happening: I am using the idol on myself,,,, Augusto, Vilma and Roxy are going to know about it, and we're taking out Ricky. This might be the most beneficial round I've ever been a part of, and a round where I am actually going to get the most out of my game, even though it means losing an idol - At tribal, I'm going to say it's the Takamaka idol.. Vilma and I have been annoyed that Asya knows about the idol for awhile now, just because Vilma didn't realize in the moment that Asya was close to all those other people that Vilma is NOT close to, so we've been trying to find a way to shake it. I'm going to play REALLY DUMB about how I found the idol, and pretend like I have no idea how I found it, or I don't remember where it was. Hopefully this leads Asya to tell other people that she thinks it was Vilma giving me an idol.. this ensures that Vilma isn't going to lose her idol, but instead she's going to lose the moderate perception of having one, and it gives us a bit more leverage moving forward - Vilma is going to vote for me to keep up appearances with Dan, so this way Dan trusts Vilma still, and this could potentially lead to us getting more information out of Dan since we're not getting him out this round.......... even tho I am PISSED that he's the one that initiated this and that I'm probably going to get fucked over by him again in the future, but let's see how dan feels after tribal - I am still going to pretend like I'm voting Nicole all the way up to tribal, and including my idol play. I want this to be a vote where everyone gets paranoid whether or not I voted for them, but most likely Jared and Nicole getting paranoid. I REALLY think this can flush one of their ghost island advantages - Jared thinks i'm voting Nicole. He may read my bluff once I play my idol, but hopefully he can be emotional in the moment and does something about it to potentially save Nicole - I know this is who Jared AND Regan both would want out with this idol play, so hopefully I'm doing them both favors, on top of the other favors they've done for me already in the game - FINALLY all the reasons to get rid of Ricky. First off, Jared told me that Ricky was the main perpetrator, behind Dan, in wanting to get me out. Not only that, but I don't think Ricky has given me a genuine strategic thought since he's been in the game, and we've been with each other almost the whole time except like six days, and not much happened in those six days for either of us...... On top of all of this, Ricky has a friendship with Dan that goes back, Ricky is the only person left not in a legitimate alliance with me I suppose, and also Dan is going to feel weakened at the knees, and if I make him feel guilty, he may feel compelled to work with me again.. I also know that Asya is going to feel much more lost without Ricky around, and so will Nicole. Ricky seems to be well connected all over the place, and actually a decently smart player, so it just makes all the sense in the world to get him out. He's got lots of connections, and none of those connections are with ME So yea.. it sucks that I've gotta play my idol, but I feel I can repair, and be a bit more candid about my relationships with people. If Ricky somehow got saved, I'd be kinda upset, but I'm fairly confident that this is going to work.. I can see a world where idols go out the window and all the votes for ricky dont count...... maybe i get vilma to vote for nicole instead of me to make sure we split our votes 3-1 hmmmmmmmmmmmmm yea that sounds smart. lemme go talk to my alliance uwu :) tonight's tribal is going to be legendary regardless. I feel this is some of my better work as a player, but clearly it'd be a lot better if five people didn't feel compelled to vote for me LMAO
Tumblr media
People are trying meeee! So I got tea I wasn’t supposed to because everyone thinks I’m close to Dan who doing the absolute most at the moment. The same thing happened last round, so the plan to sink the Jared/Nicole ship might have to wait sadly.
(OH LORD)
Also playing dumb can be super fun! Someone: “We’re in trouble gjdjfj” Me who already has the tea: “Omg no sis, why what happened? ;-;”
(SOMEONE STEAL THE CAMERA BACK)
https://youtu.be/heLL1ExEzQA So no one has hit me up in... 3 hours? (Other than Johnny, Roxy, and Vilma ofc) I understand not wanting me to know what the plan is but at least say something to not make it super obvious like cmon sis! Anyways, expect tears and tea after this tribal council cause we’re cooking up something hot 😉
Tumblr media
Im pissed that I was sent to ghost island because I think Jared did it so him and Nicole can cross me and vote out one of Augusto/Dan/Johnny Johnny + Augusto are in my one alliance Jared + Nicole are my other main two. If one of Ricky/Asya/Roxy/Alex don't leave I'll be pissed. like that's rude to cross me like that.
Tumblr media
This week was so good? Idk I think Johnny is going home which is honestly amazing. His rat ass was literally running around trying to fuck me up. At least allegedly. I really don’t think he sees it coming. I can’t wait for all the idols to be played tonight and for me to fucking die. It’s been a blessing and I’m proud of how I played if I die tonight.
