if you had to put jack into any pre-existing saw trap what would it be?

- jvnkless

ok I couldn’t think of one personally (too many to remember off the top of my head) so i asked my friend and he said he’s very interested to see how jack would do in the nerve gas house, or pound of flesh to “hack off them tiddies” as he so eloquently put it

Regina Spektor - Pound of Flesh Live at Bull Moose (2005)

context for this brilliant song:

In Shakespeare’s play The Merchant of Venice, Shylock is a Jew and moneylender in Venice who agrees to lend a sum of money to his enemy the merchant Antonio, a Christian and antisemite who has spat at, insulted, and humiliated him on dozens of occasions in the past - with the caveat of demanding a pound of his flesh as security on the loan. After his merchant ships are reported lost in a storm, the now-bankrupt Antonio defaults on the loan, and Shylock, adamant on claiming his revenge, pursues obtaining his pound of flesh in a legal court. The heroine of the play, Portia, points out that Antonio agreed to give up a pound of his flesh, but not his blood, and Shylock cannot gain his pound of flesh without drawing blood, something his contract does not allow for. Thus Shylock’s revenge is thwarted, and for his “villainy” he is punished with giving up his wealth and his forced conversion to Christianity. Although his motives stem from the very human feelings of humiliation and vengeance, his dogged pursuit of revenge has been held up as supporting racist views of Jews as greedy and vicious. The “pound of flesh” has become a famous phrase in culture as meaning any unnecessarily painful punishment or condition in a contract.

Ezra Pound was a Christian early-20th century poet who was a major figure in early modernist poetry. He was also violently antisemitic, and a fascist collaborator in Italy during WWII. During the war and the Holocaust in Italy, he made hundreds of paid radio broadcasts for the Italian government attacking the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Great Britain, international finance, munitions makers and mongers, and Jews, among others, as causes, abettors and prolongers of the world war, as a result of which he was arrested in 1945 by American forces in Italy on charges of treason. Deemed unfit to stand trial, he was incarcerated in St. Elizabeths psychiatric hospital in Washington, D.C., for over 12 years. After a campaign by fellow writers, he was released in 1958, and lived in Italy until his death in 1972. His work remains controversial for his political and economic views.

In the song, a purgatorial, phantasmal Ezra Pound appears to the unnamed singer as a skeleton sitting on their bed, asking the singer to spare a pound of their flesh to cover his bared bones. This imagery, of an antisemite using the words of a (fictional) Jew, turns the famous phrase on its head and transforms its meaning into a powerful indictment of antisemitism through the concept of post-mortem spiritual torment and poetic justice.

Regina Spektor is a Jew of Russian heritage, and has tackled antisemitism in several of her songs, including “Pound of Flesh” and “Ink Stains”.

what's pound of flesh about?

So, remember these two posts about an AU where Shouto ended up in the HPSC hands into a program like Hawks? It's using the basic ideas of that and going on from there. Lady Nagant and Endeavor want their pound of flesh from the HPSC and hero society as a whole

And Hawks will want his from Lady Nagant, Endeavor, and All For One.

One aspect of my WIP, Pound of Flesh, is that chapters switch their perspectives; half is from the third-person limited perspective of Cota, while the other half is from the first-person perspective of Val. The Val sections, I find, are much easier to write. Something about writing in first-person has a habit of drawing immediately more compelling sentences out of me. Here's something I finished my writing session with tonight.

**** "I have never needed more patience and had less. I pace my room until my ankles are sore, lie in bed until I can hear the blood pumping through my ears, tracing its route up the carotid artery on my right side while it lays still against the mattress. I close my eyes, inhale through my nose, exhale through my mouth.

There’s no guarantee that this is happening, but in that moment, I swear that I can feel the un-oxygenated blood trailing its way back to my heart, dutifully marching to be refueled and then complete that same endless loop, just to keep me alive. In that moment, I feel pity for my red blood cells, the tireless workers fighting to keep the organ that has caused me so much trouble properly fed. From their synthesis in my marrow until the final time they make that trek from my chest up to the top of my head, they work for my sake, keeping me alive without any input at all from me. Their burial site is a sewer, or a treatment facility, excreted out by someone that never thanked them for working their entire lives.

Then again, maybe not all of them. Maybe some of them make it to the ocean, where the water disentangles them from their bindings, and they float free, perhaps becoming food for plankton, or part of the carpeting that hides a flounder so they can snatch something that will keep them fueled, too. In my stupor, exhausted and anxious, I imagine being on the ocean floor, a cell so microscopic it could filter through baleen, drifting in an ether that existed long before the first of my kind. The sunlight streams down enough to reach me, and it is warm and comforting. There are no expectations here, no disappointment or nuance. There is only life and its opposite, and for now, I remain alive. And somehow, that is comfort enough for the smallest bit of me that could still be me. The blue gently makes its way to black as the current carries me away, and I drift off." @toribookworm22 The inaugural tag list! If you'd like to be added please let me know

The issue is not limited to campus or student life. Last fall, the D.C. chapter of the Sunrise Movement, an organization “mobilizing young people to make climate change an urgent priority across America,” pulled out of a rally to support voting rights because the Jewish organizations also participating supported Israel. The groups that Sunrise mentioned—National Council of Jewish Women, the Reform movement’s Religious Action Center, and the Jewish Council for Public Affairs—are some of the most progressive organizations in American Jewry, devoted to numerous left-wing causes. No matter. These organizations, by their mere presence at an environmental rally, were sullying a noble cause. Unless, that is, they were willing to give up a pound of flesh: their Zionism.

In January, Big Duck, a Brooklyn-based marketing firm with several nonprofit clients, declined to work with the Shalom Hartman Institute over its connection to Israel. This led Shalom Hartman to issue a statement identifying Big Duck’s decision as “a moving of the goalposts on BDS from Israel to North American Jewish organizations,” the never-ending pound of flesh demand in practice. The institute correctly noted that this “applies a standard on North American Jewish commitments that would exclude the vast majority of the members of our community.” In other words, the ancient goal of making it harder and harder for Jews to be fully Jewish, until it eventually becomes impossible.

My choice to step back from the pound of flesh dynamic was a personal one. But I have since met many Jews, older and younger, who shared with me their confrontation with the same challenge and sense that they need to make a similar decision. Extracting oneself from this toxic dynamic is not only the right thing to do, but also a key to mental health. Anti-Zionist bullying takes an emotional toll, and it cuts to the deepest levels of our Jewish identities. Rather than try to find out how many pounds of flesh it would take to make the bullies go away, the only effective response is to resist them with confidence. It’s hard to bully a proud people; it’s impossible to bully a people who know they have nothing to be ashamed of, and who don’t need or seek anyone else’s approval in the first place. The only response to anti-Zionism, in other words, is Zionism.

The trailer for the new House of Hammer doc series is out. Sickening.

Hello, Anon:

I watched it just now from the link in the bio on The Hollywood Reporter’s IG and there’s nothing in it that surprises me except for the fact that in the documentary, Julia “Jelly” Morrison is referred to as Armie Hammer’s “ex”. I thought that term was used for someone who has been, not someone who never was.

Oh, I feel a song coming on …

CELEBRITY SKIN by DOJA CAT

Oh, make me over

I'm all I wanna be

A walking fire

You can't get rid of me

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, so glad you could make it now

Oh, look at my face

My name is "Might-Have-Been"

My name is "Never Was"

My name's forgotten

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

It's too early for that dress

Wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood

I'm glad I came here with your pound of flesh

No second billing 'cause you're a star now

Cinderella, they aren't trash like you

Beautiful garbage, beautiful dresses

Can you stand up or will you just fall down?

You better watch out

What you wish for

Better be worth it

So much to die for

Hey, so glad you could make it

Yeah, now you really made it

Hey, there's only us left now

When I wake up in my makeup

Have you ever felt so used up as this?

It's all so sugarless, useless waitress

Model, actress, oh, just go nameless

Honeysuckle, she's full of poison

She obliterated everything she kissed

And now she's fading somewhere in Hollywood

Glad I came here with your pound of flesh

You want a part of me?

Well, I'm not selling cheap

No, I'm not selling cheap

My top five most brutal SAW traps even though absolutely nobody asked for my fucking opinion:

5 — Pound of Flesh, SAW VI

I feel like this isn’t a trap that’s talked about often enough considering the actual shit you have to do to survive it. I mean come on. Cut off enough of your flesh to survive? And it’s not even like there’s a set amount anyway, it’s a competition between you and another person to see who can do the most. No guidance as to what specific body part to cut off either. You just have to take the knife and just start going crazy. It makes having the punishment for not doing it look not as bad but, then again, actually thinking about having screws drilled into the sides of your temples? Yeah, no thanks babes xxx

Simone was a total badass just hacking her arm straight off like that and living. Just sent it all the way and won, you love to see it.

4 — Silence Circle, SAW 3D

If someone asked me to do this trap I would actually just kill myself instead. Gun in my mouth, bang, gone. Same with all of these to be fair but the fucking idea of the key on a fishing hook in your stomach? And that just raking up your insides as you’re trying to take it out? Fuck that. Fuck. That. I think the only thing that would make me do this would be the other person pulling out the string because if I had to do that shit myself? I’d just scream as loud as I could to make the spikes impale me instantly. I am not doing that shit.

This one gets bumped down a bit because we don’t actually see the visual of the hook going up through her? Which makes it an easier watch than the others on this list, but I still think it deserved a place here because of the sheer insanity of the entire thing.

3 — Bone Marrow Trap, SAW X

Fuck. This. Trap.

Actually fuck it. In my opinion this was the most brutal trap in SAW X. Yes, I know some people make arguments for the brain surgery trap being pretty brutal and yes taking out your brain is just… Wow. And I’ll agree it is bad. But you don’t FEEL your brain.

THIS ON THE OTHER HAND?

CUTTING OFF YOUR LEG AT THE THIGH? WITH A GIGLI SAW NO LESS? The amount of blood loss, the fact if you want to live just have to take that fucking saw to your leg and just DO IT? And then once you’re done you have to take that stupid little fuckoff tube and stick it in your bone and get the bone marrow out, which is ALSO PAINFUL???

Also the part where she grabs the gigli saw in-front of her with her hands… Fuck, just fuck.

Valentina really didn’t deserve to die here, I won’t lie to you. She cut off her leg, was taking out the marrow. I believe had the tube thing for the vacuum to measure how much bone marrow or whatever the fuck had been shorter, she would’ve lived. Yes she started later but like, come the fuck on.

2 — Venus Fly Trap, SAW II

I’m going to start this with, this trap being the first trap of SAW II is an actually insane tone shift from what we had in the first movie. Like, the only trap I really consider brutal in SAW is the reverse bear trap, but we don’t even see that one go off since Amanda survives it.

So seeing this shit right out the gate is just… Oh my god. Wow. Just wow.

This trap has always given me reverse bear trap vibes in appearance, it’s probably the whole thing of, it’s on the head, closes, shuts whatever. I don’t know but it’s got a similar energy to it.

First of all, the whole nails in your face thing? Yeah, hate that. But what I’m most concerned about is the KEY BEHIND THE EYE.

FUCK.

THAT.

SHIT.

The visual of him cutting into his eyeball with the scalpel? And you actually just have to fucking go at it and just… ugh. I was pretty torn between either this trap or the Bone Marrow trap for this kinda reason. Cutting off a leg or cutting open your eye? And honestly the eye is just. Worse. Like just digging into your eye to get out a fucking key? Like all things given, at LEAST I can turn off my brain somewhat while cutting off my leg. Just back and forth with a saw. I don’t even have to look!

THIS? WHAT I’M CUTTING IS DOING THE LOOKING. I STRUGGLE TO PUT ON EYELINER, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO THIS?

1 — The Rack, SAW III

There is a reason why people think this trap is the worst one. There is a reason and it’s fucking obvious.

You’re on a mother-fucking crucifix looking ass thing, legs and arms out, and if this other guy doesn’t take a bullet for you, your limbs are going to be twisted.

YOUR ARMS, LEGS AND NECK are going to be ROTATED 360 DEGREES. ONE. BY. ONE.

Oh and the guy who’s taking the bullet for you? It’s Jeff by the way, stupid fucking Jeff. So you have no chance xxx

The visuals. I can’t watch this trap without looking away, I see the limbs start turning and my line of sight is directly away from the screen. No.

No.

The image of twisting flesh and the fucking shot where you see one of his legs start to move?

NO.

AND HIS HEAD. HIS FUCKING HEAD.

NO.

I DON’T NEED TO EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS NUMBER ONE. FUCKING LOOK AT IT.

Honourable mentions under the cut:

Honourable mentions go to The Angel Trap and Ten Pints of Sacrifice. I didn’t include the angel trap because I feel like, while yes getting your ribs ripped out is horrific, you don’t really suffer much while alive? Which to me, the more they suffer while alive or trying to complete their trap, the more brutal it is. Ten Pints of Sacrifice isn’t on here because I was doing 5, had I been doing like 10 you would’ve definitely seen this on here. Oh and also, Needle Pit isn’t on here because I’m entirely unfazed by it. I hate to do Mandy like this but I just personally don’t really wince at it at all.

Pound of Flesh

Van Damme’s looking good in Pound of Flesh, he’s wearing dark glasses to hide the bags under his eyes and is striking in a black suit as he checked into a hotel. After being so pleased with Kickboxer : Vengence, I was feeling OK taking a chance on another dollar tree action purchase, but there’s always a lingering fear that my luck will run out, especially considering Van Damme’s track record…
