i'm leaning towards dying just because permanent mutilation isn't my strong suit, but whatever trap i choose will probably be closer to walking on dirty hypodermic needles or the barbed wire thing anyway- something painful and awful, but not necessarily geared to make you want to throw up in your mouth at the atrocity.
mostly because i... don't want to write gruesome violence, which is why i'm boggling at people opting out so fast, because there's a lot more than just torture porn potential here.
I'm probably giving myself away but, i'm thinking more along the lines of fire. I really can't write gore without it sounding incredibly stupid, and I don't really see the appeal in everyone losing an arm.
By this point I think part of the problem is SAW literally became known for being the series with the gore and guts. So, a number of people probably know it just for that. And a lot of the trap examples? Were geared towards that gore audience.
As opposed to say, Matthews' test which was literally to sit and talk to Jigsaw for an extended period of time.
