I need to know any and all hc you have on Fool's Gold aaa I just love the way you write~
b'aaawwWWWWWWW thanks ๐ฅน๐ฅน๐๐
-RUBS HANDS TOGETHER- Fool's Gold hcsssss lets see what ive got cookin in this brain here lol
Most of these are going to be about when he is on his own and doesn't have anyone he cares about in the picture at all, Cause I imagine he is different when he has someone, even something, that brings 'care' back into his thoughts and heart. AND all are subject to change, just my initial thoughts ๐๐๐
1 .(a potential one, still not landed on it yet but) I think he enjoys the dark and fire, sort of being the 180 of his other self. Likely enjoying the thrill it provides and especially since neither can really hurt him anymore. He still craves light and safety, but he isn't desperate for those things anymore. This potential hc of mine came about cause of this:
I put down my very first decoration and I was laughing cause it looks like Norton was like 'oh man Alice gonna love what I added' ๐-A LOUD BLAZING FIRE BLASTING IN ALICE'S APARTMENT-
2. Enjoys being spooky, enjoys being the bully. ITs like his way of saying 'this is how the world showed me it worked, I am just following the same song and dance that was shown me' and now laughing about it. I think he is having the time of his life thinking that morals are no longer a thing to hold him back ๐I think Norton never had the opportunity to be a child, and is now taking that opportunity to finally let loose and play. Even though that means playing with other's lives -laughs nervously-
3. Singing is easy for him now. He doesn't have that black lung business anymore and is just humming away and enjoying himself. Feeling free of the weight of humanity.
4. He does feel a constant pain though ๐ and is doing what he can to be rid of it. Like phantom pains, they are there but not a thing you can do about them, really. So, he is using the distraction of hunting and hurting others to dull his own agony that feels like his body is being pulled apart and put back together over and over again.
5. When he is alone and quiet, his decent self nags at him (but this doesn't happen often ๐). Just as he nagged and fought for control before the explosion. but Norton's humanity is still in there, never completely snuffed out. FG generally has full control and doesn't give a single care about anything except avoiding pain. for now ๐
6. The fact that his obsession is still 'to change his fate' is interesting to me. The one constant in his adult life is this mantra: 'must change my fate'
7. Significantly more open with his emotions, not holding anything back. When he is mad? HE IS MAD and there is no mistaking it and vice versa. Ah ๐ญ

Saw you mention ADHD inattentive? And I had not heard the specific kind of adhd but what you described sounds true to me (also canโt do a diagnosis right now). But Iโd consider myself a very creative person. I want to create freely like I did as a child, improve, and excel but I struggle with the motivation. I end up scrolling on my phone or watching tv. How do you manage that or deal with it without being hard on yourself? Thank you for your time!
So I've been looking into ADHD more seriously in the past three years. I've had bouts of anhedonia and the most recent one last for two years and it got to the point where I couldn't even watch or read two-seconds of anything without it feeling utterly painful and I had no idea what the hell that was about. But I at least had the awareness after it happened often enough that my attention span was fucked and I genuinely didn't seen to latch onto or enjoy anything anymore and I thought 'Wow, guess this is adulthood for me, sheesh'.
I also thought back to myself as kid growing up, some things I knew I did and some things I did that had been told me. Apparently my dad thought I might be autistic when I was 4, but never followed up on that. Nobody cared that I was a good test taker but rarely ever turned in homework. Oh, ooh, she must just not care, wah. My mom told me stories as an infant that align with me being an HSP baby, and I def have Rejection Dysphoria which is kinda getting better but sometimes still results in petty Splitting spirals. ๐
Sorry, none of this has to do with your question but maybe it'll useful to someone else. ๐
So the funny thing is, I am not addicted to social media. ๐ญ I barely use it. So I don't have anything personal I provide about that, but you could try going minimal on your phone. Just dummy the hell out of it. Remove apps, etc. I know companies be breaking how their shit works on mobile browser, at least for me, the site gets app-blocked basically. "Open in App", "Get our App", ugh. ๐๐ฎโ๐จ But when you make distractions harder to get to, you can readjust your reliance on it. Backtracking slightly, I used this method to cut off my 'addiction' to Reddit. I still rly don't get hooked on socmed otherwise. ๐ค I always bookmark stuff or keep the tabs open, and say I'll get to it later. ๐
I'm always accruing things for myself or some creative endeavor. I kinda relate to Markiplier in that way, that the only time he hangs with his friends or makes friends is if it's during a project. His whole life rotates around the next idea and the next idea. ๐
Forgive me, I'm rambling quite a bit.
Tldr; make distractions more inconvenient, lol.
If you feel like your symptoms are unmanageable, their could be other disorders that you need to take care of. Some ADHD-havers need stimulants and others need anti-depressants.
I'm a stimulant-type. I started taking a $30 B-complex supplement when I noticed that Monster energy made me feel better. I get high caffeine blend plus 2 shots of espresso from my preferred gas station. As a female, I had to pay attention to my PMS symptoms making me sleepier than ever. Some shit got out of balance and I was a goner for the following two weeks.
Your next question about not beating yourself up. My suggestion is trying meditation, maybe getting an ONO roller or something like it, something to make your hands busy when you're trying to devote your attention to something. Just focus on clearing away the background processes of anxiety in your internal task manager and try to visualize how you'll feel when you get that thing done.
Like, I still procrastinate on folding the laundry. It'll literally take me 20 mins or less and I can watch videos while I do it, but I just don't for rly no good reason. ๐
But it's better to feel guilty while doing the thing you've been avoiding, then feeling better after becuz it's done. And then maybe the guilt lessens becuz you've created this routine and positive association, 'Hey, I can do this thing. Hey, this actually takes no time at all.' You know?
I'm no expert and everyone's experience is different. But I recommend looking into it more for yourself. The HowToADHD channel is a pretty good one to start with. They are like the definitive channel for sure. I know that Dr. K put out smthn a couple years ago as well, but all in all, you can only do your best and try to retrain how you do things. There's stuff too like the Pomodoro Effect... ๐ค Just try to find what works for you! Even rn I'm so distracted with writing that I haven't been drawing at all, so I'm just managing myself, pretty much just scraping by. ๐
Oh yeah, I started opening all the cabinets to make putting dishes away easier. Idk if that's useful to you, lol. ADHD requires quirky solutions, haha.
Sorry this turned out so long! I'm wishing you all the luck! ๐๐ค

**SAW X SPOILERS ALERT โ ๏ธ**
*Extra warning: some uncomfortable images from Sawโฆ proceed at your own risk** โ ๏ธ
How Iโd have survived every trap in Saw X because Iโm immortal (in reality I died in the first 5 minutes).
Eye vacuum trap ๐ฅฝ ๐๏ธ : **sigh**
I canโt lie Iโd not be avoiding any mutilation hereโฆ but fuck meeee just turn the dial straight up to 5 ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ Iโm not saying I wouldnโt break 1 finger then bitch about it until the time is up then die irl. But after breaking 1 finger, most people would rather go straight to 5 than feel their eyeballs leave their skull. ๐
Pipe bomb trap ๐ฃ:
Not sure if this would work as Jigsaw is always watching ๐, but avoid struggling because the timer is not actively beginning, this timer must be started by something, it is triggered when the wire attached is pulled. This may buy more time to think of other solutions. Then try to cut the duct tape off your hands with the knives and use your hands to remove the pipe bombs to avoid as much injury as possible. Or wait for Jigsaw to approach and attempt to defend yourself with the knives, then wait for help?
Bone Marrow Trap ๐ฆด:
Fuck no did John give so little time to saw off her whole damn leg! The only way I can think to get out of this is to try using the gigilo saw on the ropes holding you in place and duck out of the way to avoid decapitation. Then save the poor guy from the brain surgery trap because he had no hope ๐ญ. With this trap, just make sure John and Amanda are distracted. Again riskyโฆ as Jigsaw is always watching.
Brain surgery trap ๐ง ๐น:
In terms of surviving without help, if the instruments provided can cut through the skull, it may be possible to cut through part of the trap, but this would be time consuming and not foolproof. Also to avoid putting in less grey matter, could he have put part of his skull in the dish, it may have absorbed some additional enzymes attached to the skull?
Otherwise Iโd hope someone else saves me I doubt it or flirt with Amanda and hope she sets me free.
Radiation trap โข๏ธ:
Again, hope you can make Amanda take pity on you and fall in love with you like the empath she is.
Or try breaking your thumb only, as the tool provided is small enough to do so. Then do a bit of an Eric Matthews and slide your hand free. Bit less painful and should be possible in the time limit, plus avoids smashing your ankle. If the lamp moves because youโve failed to break your ankle chain, you can run behind the lamp to avoid it or keep moving, as itโs easier to move and take cover without a broken ankle. With hands free, could use clothing add some layer of protection on your face and buy more time ๐ฐ๏ธ
Blood boarding trap ๐ฉธ:
There wonโt be an unlimited supply of blood so being altruistic and taking turns is a survival tactic. Although, if you were paired with Cecelia on this trap, this may not be the best option.
In this case, turn your head to get more opportunity to breathe? Or tilt your head up so the blood lands on your head not directly blocking airways (this would be very uncomfortable but you might survive).
Burning gas chamber ๐ฅ๐จ:
First you could try to find the source of the gas and block it with clothing or items in the room or damage it. If not, just straight up killing the other player to avoid severe injury and reach the air vent is the best bet of survival, but not a Kramer approved way to survive. Is the gun cabinet big enough for a person to fit in? You could sit in there and shut the door on yourself to keep the gas out, cover and cracks in the door with clothing, it would buy more time.
Bonus round
Scar tissue trap โ๏ธ:
Firstly, whatinthefuckisMarkHoffmandoinghere ๐
Secondly, thereโs little chance in fighting with Hoffman to escape this trap so best bet is playing along, or playing dead. โ ๏ธ Hard to say as we never get to see Henryโs end, but that twist had everyone in the cinema shook I couldnโt speak ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
Alright and thatโs all I got!
Disclaimer: No chance would I survive a saw trap, please do not try these at home ๐คฃ
Would you like to see more posts like this? And if so traps from a full movie, or smaller posts about specific traps/one trap at a time.
Comment more of your ideas for survival!
Until next timeโฆ ๐
