I was thinking about the concept of object "gore". Not like, flesh and blood gore, but like, "gore" based on the material of that object. Tattered fabric, scrap metal, spilled juice, shattered glass, etc.
When you think of it as a cartoony thing, yeah, it's funny! Like seeing Lightbulb/OJ from II shattering, Woody burning to death, etc etc, it's just a silly lil' gag! But imagine it from the perspective of an Object.
First off, how would objects react to "gore"? I mean, it's rather hard to differentiate between shredded fabric from a random shirt versus one from an Actual Sentient Object.
Imagine seeing a crime scene, a bedroom, completely torn apart. Cuts and slashes, an assortment of fabric and stuffing scattered everywhere. How do you tell torn blankets apart from the deceased Pillow?
Imagine being an electronic Object, walking in a lab/warehouse/factory, and seeing bits and pieces of wires, metal, chips, and plastic shells strewn around the place. Other Objects might not think much about it, it's just random scraps. But to the poor electronic Object, they might as well just be a pig in a slaughterhouse.
What's even more horrifying is the thought of seeing materials where they don't belong. Fallen leaves, twigs, and wooden splinters in a forest? That's normal! Seeing those in the living room? Unless you had a door open during a storm, that's definitely not normal. Doesn't help that you haven't seen your best friend Oak in a while. Could this be what's left of them?
What about ways to deal with the bodies? To hide an Object's body, you could just. "Modify" them. Wood? Carve them into something else. Paper? Tear them apart and just the wind scatter the remains! Plastic? Reuse, reduce, recycle. There's no blood to worry about!
Anyways, the thing that lead me to this entire idea in the first place is splatter movies (aka, those movies with a TON of gore). How would it work in an Object setting? For humans, you can just easily paint something red and call it a day, but Objects don't have that (unless they do in your setting, then uh. Ignore this).
Would they just throw a bunch of scraps into the scene and call it a day (like how most splatter movies tend to have WAYYYY more blood than what a normal human being should have)? Or would there be a more universal symbol of The Body?
Anyways, that's all I have in my mind ✌

THAT WOUND. THAT VILE WOUND. it throbs in time with your speeding heart, and the ache it carries through your veins is oppressive, its hot, it tangles around your jaw and through your spine and behind your eyes. there are needles, sprouting from the lacerations like the most heinous ivy, and it strangles your lungs, rips tears from your eyes, lures bile to your throat. it hurts. oh god it hurts. you cant think, you cant breathe, you cant swallow, you cant see. you cant see. you cant see.
you cannot see but you know when your eyes are closed, because there are colors stained upon the backs of your eyelids. they form images of loved ones, of viscera, of bile and blood and blackened mud. its jarring, they make anxiety spike outwards, frantic ferro fluid, frightened from faces too scared, too pained, too dead, too piercing with eyes staring straight at you, straight at you.
actually, you cant tell when your eyes are open.

I knitted a Saw sweater!! And I’m including the chart i made if anyone else wants to knit one too! I picked Saw7 bc its my favorite but it shouldn’t be too hard to swap the 3d out for whichever number you prefer (or if it’s the first one you’ll have to shift the whole logo to the center) And.. if you do go with 1-6 you might also prefer using red for the blood instead of pink.
tips and tricks and the sweater pattern i used are under the cut :)
Helpful tips: I recommend starting the design from the left (with a purl row) and when you get to it, sewing in the bottom three stitches of the line that comes down from the A (the two by theirself and the bottom one in the group of three) once the whole thing’s finished so you don’t have to carry the yarn the whole way across the back for a couple of stitches.
And remember, even though I didn’t fill it all in, everything inside the saw blade that isn’t pink/red (exception of the hole in the middle) is grey (or whatever color you pick). I know this might seem obvious but I myself tripped up on this a few times from misreading the pattern so just.. be aware what you’re doing lol.
And, of course, you can put the design on whatever sweater pattern you wish, but here’s the one I use:
