The alternative ending of a Dagon vs. Scathach fight

One of Remus’s favourite activities; f-laying on the table. (Get it?)

A collaboration with the amazing @cannibal-fat 👍👍

My players met a very anticipated NPC of mine today, who spawned from The Flayed King, a delightful homebrew monster shared by @dm-tuz

I made a few tweaks to fit my setting and story, but I anticipate a lot of fun from this arc. :)

Tw/gore, flaying and scarification

Thinking about how Albus got his scars and how it was basically cutting out skin for the large parts, so of course the first thing my brain does is supply me with the very vivid sensation and sound of peeled skin falling to the ground, where there’s already a tiny mountain of it.

Ah yes, flay the skin and then score and bake it for 40 minutes to have a nice dinner with some worstichire wait werstisher no that's not it uh wosctishier wait no I got it worcestershire sauce!

I wouldn't eat it personally, but maybe Cap would enjoy the nice warm meal~

I am happy that the extended scene with Theon and Yara was cut.

Here’s a description of the additional stuff that was cut from the Theon and Yara scene (bolded phrases mine):

After escaping from Euron's ship, the finished episode jumps to Theon and Yara discussing their strategy against their uncle. But in the script, Theon starts the scene by gingerly touching a bruise on his face left from Yara's headbutt.

"Don't be a girl," Yara says in the script.

"It's hard for Theon to talk about the night be betrayed his sister and jumped overboard, but he finally brings himself to say the words," the script's stage direction reads.

Then Theon calls himself a coward, and Yara tells him he wasn't a coward the night before when he saved her. He tries to press the point of how he wasn't there when she needed him, but Yara says there's no point talking about it. Then they move onto the dialogue we hear in the final version.

This was the last time Theon and Yara spoke before his death, so it would have been a more explicit closure for them (instead of the implicit closure they had when he rescued her).

~Kim Renfro, Insider Entertainment, 23 Details Uncovered in the Game of Thrones Season 8 Episode Scripts 

Okay, first of all, you are asking me to believe that THEON, who survived years of actual torture under Ramsay Bolton. Which included being flayed, having his fingers cut off, have his genitals mutilated, not to mention the psychological torture- would be worrying over a BRUISE from a headbutt? And Yara’s line. “Don’t be a girl.” I don’t have the strength right now, someone else take that one.  

But the part that really made me thank the Drowned God they cut this was the part where Theon has to APOLOGIZE, yet again, for something that was not even his fault. Yes I understand that it is very in character for him to feel extreme guilt over not being able to save Yara. But again, Theon is an unreliable narrator. This should be apparent by his assertion that he deserved his torture. I was initially happy that the show decided to delve into an exploration of Theon’s PTSD and that Theon was never just magically recovered. But they completely negate that every time they frame his PTSD as “being a coward.” I don’t think I need to go into what an insult that is to people who actually struggle with PTSD.

I have to disagree with Kim’s assessment that adding these lines would have been a better closure for them. In fact, I think it would have done the opposite and undermined the warmth and mutual understanding that Alfie and Gemma portrayed in that scene. So good job for at least cutting this exchange, D&D...

Ed half closed his eyes against the sea spray, gritting his teeth together. He felt sick. He'd felt sick since the parcel had been delivered to him.

There had been a familiar black glove inside. A familiar hand, complete with a tattoo that made in undeniable.

He'd received another missive. A tanned piece of hide bearing a distinctive swallow tattoo. Tanned. Who the fuck had the time to literally peel off a man's skin and tan it?

Didn't matter. Edward had sunk the ship that had brought him the disgusting memento of another man's madness. He'd taken hold of all of the log books and a prisoner of his own, all to guide the course that he was presently set on.

A man could survive the loss of a leg. He could survive the loss of a hand. Some skin. Until he was given Izzy's head back, he'd have hope the man was alive. Rather, the people holding him captive had better hope that he was fucking alive.

The sea dropped out from under the ship and there was a moment of weightless exhilaration before she slammed back down into the water, delivered on the crest of a wave that couldn't hold her aloft any longer. This pace was unsustainable. They were sailing on the edge of a storm, for fuck's sake. But he wasn't going to give up. He wasn't going to to stop until he was holding someone's head in his hands.

"Edward!" Stede called out to him and he looked over his shoulder at him.

"Edward, the storm!"

"We keep going, Stede," he called back, then looked back out at the black water. They were going up again.

"Blackbeard's coming," one of the Marine's reported to the Prince, giving him a slight bow. "He was spotted off the coast hours ago."

"Did you hear that?" Ricky asked his prisoner, shifting the position of his booted heel on the man's back. "He's coming for you. Mm. That's probably a first."

I think Flaying is slowly freeing the skin from the carcass with a knife like how people do with fish

I'll keep that in mind
