I'd give an arm and a leg for a body horror take on Jeff that actually explores his decay, something grotesque and sad in equal measure without centering on the violence alone. Or a Midwestern retelling of Toby, where his inability to feel pain isn’t just a whacky quirk, but the emotional core of the story. He’s a teenager reckless, impulsive, terrifying because he doesn’t know how far is too far.

Give me a Clockwork where time is more than a 3 time referenced shallow metaphor, where her obsession with time feels earned, like it hurts. A version of Eyeless Jack that leans harder into the surgical horror of the original with organ theft, cold obsession, maybe with shades of The Collector, methodical/human.

What about a Jane the Killer who actually believes in what she’s doing, until the line between justice and brutality blurs too far to recognize? A vigilante narrative that doesn’t shy away from the guilt and hypocrisy underneath instead of "Oh yeah she wants them dead but works for them anyways" which serves no character or narrative purpose and sinks her further into flanderization [I think I'm spelling that right] instead of something with a little oomph.

God, I would commit atrocities to see someone tackle the Mansion like a proper serialized drama at this rate if nothing else. Something with the layered, character driven storytelling of Deep Space Nine where every character matters, every thread ties back in, and the horror lives in both the bizarreness of it all and the mundane. You can make a slice of life story and still have it be meaningful beyond basic interactions or shipping, there are a bazillion ways to do this and make it something impressive or interesting. You can write a slice of life and still keep the horror or the monstrosity of it all without shying away from who the characters are being my main point.

Clocky and Toby I guess just to prove I'm still alive

Clockwork My style

Don’t don’t worry, that’s just Bruballa giving a hug to Natalie. She doesn’t understand the concept of Stabbing=NO.

wait have u eger drawn clockwork? i’m curious on how u draw her (OFC NOT FORCING)

Okay so this sounds awesome! I’ll say who wins against eachother at the end!

Slenderman -

Of course the big man takes the role of an alien

He runs everything, the big bad if you will. He decides who goes against who and makes sure everything runs smoothly. Even if that doesn’t always go to plan.

Jane The Killer -

The absolute baddie that is Jane preforms ‘soft rock’ music when it’s her turn to preform!

She goes against Clockwork Aka, Natalie!

It was heartbreaking for her to go up against someone she was so close to.

Tears were shed. Many.

Clockwork -

Clockwork preforms ‘soft rock’ music with Jane for her performance. She sung much more angrily than Jane.

She cried. A lot. A mix of sadness and anger at the situation.

She didn’t want to go against Jane, she just wanted to get out alive together.

Ben Drowned -

Ben isn’t much of a talent when it comes to singing, his voice being crackly and electric.

He goes against Toby.

He tried his best but they are both terrible singers.

Ticci Toby -

Has no singing talents at all, his tics and harsh voice cracks makes the task near impossible.

He went into the show fully expecting to fail.

They didn’t really follow a genre of music to sing. The audience were stunned at the sheer lack of talent.

Sally Williams -

She went against Eyeless Jack.

She sung a pretty childish song, a nursery rhyme but then again, shes like 10 what did you expect?

She didn’t really know about the consequences of loosing so she was just having fun.

RESULTS

Jane vs Natalie -

Jane decided to try sacrificing herself for Natalie but ultimately failed when Natalie started screaming cusses.

Jane won and Natalie was ‘killed’ wink wink nudge nudge.

BEN vs Toby -

Toby won based on his looks alone.

Apparently the aliens liked the rough, sad, pathetic looking boy enough to choose him.

Ben didn’t want to die and just zapped himself into the screen and made himself scarce. That caused quite the panic but he’s still on the loose somewhere.

Sally vs Jack -

Jack just refused to sing at all. He wasn’t going to compete against a literal child. He might have a somewhat monstrous appearance but he was no monster.

He basically just stood there giving the audience a disapproving look before he was inevitably taken out.

Toby: we’re both around average height…
