oh boy i wish someone would notice my cries for help! [someone actually notices] noooo i'm fine don't worry about me
Is it bad I try gatekeeping my genre of movies to myself because I hate when my best friend seems more into it than I am. Because when I show her a horror movie and she constantly tells me about it like I haven't watched it it really pisses me off, so also tends to watch new ones I haven't seen and brags about it, and spoil the movie. And we watch movies up her ally all the time and when it comes to my turn she's like "I don't feel like it." Like bitch what do you mean?! The few times I stop gatekeeping you say no and watch it by yourself

CHARACTER(S): Amanda Young (SAW/“Jigsaw” Franchise)
🪡 .*.. 💉
Amanda as an older sister is something you never asked for, but appreciate everyday.
-> it’s her terrified eyes that glance back at yours— at your sudden discovery of her slicing into her arms and thighs, your own pain reflecting hers.
-> it’s the sound of her sleep-ridden screams that wake you, nightmares so familiar to her, yet never easier to shake.
-> it’s the discovery of needles, filled to the brim under the kitchen sink’s cabinet that bring tears to your concerned eyes.
-> it’s the soothing texture of her hair through your fingers as she lets you play with it, giggles passed between the two of you from gossip about some new kid in your school.
-> it’s the old band tees and over-worn lacy bras that make you laugh at old photo albums of your childhood together.
-> it’s her laugh that’s so contagious, yet so terrifyingly unfamiliar.
-> it’s the smiles she passes you in the middle of an argument with someone on the phone, reassuring you that she’s just fed up with her ‘boss’ where she works.
-> it’s the way her facial expression contorts into a motherly amount of relief when she comes home late at night, finding you passed out on the shared, worn-in couch, TV static from a finished VHS tape illuminating your features in a way that shows you’re at peace. that you’re safe.
-> it’s the discomfort on her face as you question the markings on her inner forearms; immediately ignored, and told ‘(not) to worry about it, pumpkin”.
-> it’s the realization that this domesticated life she’s formed with you will end at some point.
-> it’s the pain-relieving pills that take up half of your side of the shared bathroom’s sink, scattered about miscellaneously the morning after a night out of partying together.
-> it’s the way she’s dreading telling you she’s not what you think she is- that she’s a monster; that she kills people.
-> it’s the comfort in John Kramer’s words that churns her stomach; aching for a father figure she never had, the very father fighre you’ll never get to experience— eating away guiltily at her conscious.
-> it’s the “imposter syndrome” she’s formed over the years that slowly tears the both of you apart— you’re too pure, to perfect to know of the bloodshed she’s caused.
-> it’s the tears shed into her dingy mattress that wakens you from your sleep, pulling you to her room and sitting with her, immediately diving into an embrace so tight you can feel the way her heart rapidly ‘thumps’ against her skinny frame.
-> it’s the way the words ‘i’m so sorry i’m the way i am’ passes her thin and chapped lips so unfamiliarly, you’re almost scared by the sheer force of emotion in her tone.
-> it’s the way she knows you don’t understand what she means, but stay near her anyways, her fingers delved so far into your skin you’re sure it’s bound to rip.
Some highlights from the Billy the Puppet AMA
Just had a thought, when it came to shooting the scene with the power drill, Bahar Soomekh needed help to steady her hands to use it due to the vibrations and etc.
Obviously, the way it’s shot it seems as though her character Lynn just does it by herself cause she’s built different I guess-
But let’s say Lynn actually does need help with it, who else could she call upon to steady her except Amanda? Jazz hands
I think it’s also an interesting concept for Lynn to need more hands on help from Amanda than she originally had… Could Amanda do it? She was a mess watching John have a fit, let alone helping drill into his skull basically.
Shawnee Smith as Amanda Young in Saw III, 2006
kinda need them to beat each other shotgunshipping style
You've seen me post mandymark sibling bonding but- this. This is what i preach. There's not enough Lawrence and Mandy fanarts where they're sibling bonding. I know there's like 1 scene between them but... It never stopped coffinshippers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Constantly thinking about how Leigh and Shawnee have such similar features, like the jaw, the nose, the eyes… like I think the Saw fandom should take a moment to appreciate the fact that Amanda and Adam/David are literally just genderbends of each other…
the opposite of a little goody two-shoes would be big baddie bare feet lol. nevermind I don't like this post anymore
