i love books with traumatized character who don’t suddenly “get better” by the end, the ones who still suffer despite the story being over and needing to continue living their life with the trauma they hold
bc a happy ending doesn’t mean that you are suddenly healed of all your trauma and history

finally decided to draw out an idea i’ve had for a while of jigsaw apprentices (and the others) having their own puzzle pieces
more thorough explanation under the cut that i BEG that you read because i actually put thought into this:
lawrence’s puzzle piece: shoulder
was originally carved into his ankle underneath the chain cuff but had to be redone by john because of…obvious reasons
john re-carved the marking into lawrence’s shoulder while he was in his care. the placement symbolises where he shot adam and act as a constant reminder of lawrence abandoning him (except not here because let’s pretend adam survives miraculously)
adam’s puzzle piece: ankle
pretty simple, only carved there because of the cuff on his leg from the bathroom
he is vaguely mad he isn’t twinning with lawrence anymore though
amanda’s puzzle piece: arm
where else would i put it really? taking into account her previous drug addiction and sh the poor girl’s arms have been through a lot
john actually didn’t carve hers pre-game like everyone else’s; he did it during her ‘baptism’ if you will when she joined him as an apprentice
lynn’s puzzle piece: temple/side of head
again, pretty simple. references shotgun collar and how she could’ve had her head blown off
hoffman’s puzzle piece: lower back
no other reasoning other than i thought it was funny to give him a tramp stamp
strahm’s puzzle piece: chest/neck area-ish
honestly i wasn’t too sure where to put strahm’s because he’s already got a scar from the water cube and the glass coffin didn’t really leave much room for physical injuries that wouldn’t kill you instantly
decided on placement because of symmetry with trach scar (the artistic reasoning, if you will), and also peter’s buttons are opened during the water cube in a way that suggests that hoffman did it on purpose
i will pretend that he opened them up for the sake of carving the puzzle piece into strahm’s chest as opposed to just getting him to show some titty

having genuine chest pains thinking about kiriona asking "do you love her?" because she just wants to know if harrow is alive. and if harrow's frozen girl loves her back. because even though she has teeth now where her heart should be as long as harrow is safe and has what she wanted thats all that matters to her

This year's pumpkin made me bleed..
Which I guess is appropriate. Blood for the blood........ocean? Anyway, did you know Markiplier is making a movie??? :)
You can see more of my pumpkin carvings over on Twitter or you can simply look in the "pumpkin" tag here on my blog.
Also, If you would like to see more pumpkin carvings in the future, please consider sharing or donating to my gofundme to help me meet my medical needs!
Yucky unlit pumpkin carving pics under the cut!
I desperately need REAL carving tools for next year...

Smudge or MonkeyStar for the designs please?
This took a lot longer than it should’ve hufivibigjtty sorry!!
Little rambling about design concepts beneath cut off-
But monke! I love her so much she’s one of my favorite cats and while doing her design I wanted to go in a direction that I haven’t seen before though I don’t think I’ve seen too many designs for her - I chose to base her off marmosets! While doing research I found that in Brazil we’ve recently discovered at least two new species of marmoset, there might be more, but while looking into it I mainly stumbled upon the two, the one I chose to base her design off of is the Munduruku marmoset! Before you google the little fella be warned that there are images that showcase deceased marmosets as sadly the discovery of this species also coincided with fires running rampant through the rainforest at the time, so to spare you from that here is an illustration of what they look like, drawn by the artist Stephan Nash
I just found the little guys really charming so I had to just go for it with them as an inspiration. That being said - this whole thing made me realize how interesting monkeystar designs can be with the variety of primates that are out there, especially amongst monke. In the end? Monke good. Monke very good.
