ok so my house of leaves x saw au. at first i was just thinking about dumping current wade in a fucked up building as a mission-gone-wrong type thing, but now i'm thinking it could be a modified stryker/francis experiment. so origins wade is taken and put in a series of saw traps in a house that does not make any logical sense--since this takes place in the 70s, superpowers of any kind are not that well known, so magic is involved but wade doesn't know it. so there's the psychological aspect of it in the form of the "sentient" house, and the physical torture of the saw traps which i'm thinking would parallel francis's torture methods

eventually logan finds him like he did in origins, but in a different context and after his mutation into deadpool (not weapon xi) has been awakened. then they get together because logan is the only thing keeping wade sane after all of that

these two moments have the same feel - the first time you see them, it’s like oh, what? but so much happens right after you forget, but the next time you watch, it’s like ...WAIT, What?? 

and

I mean, at what point was it established that Steven with no or barely any gem powers could climb a sheer glass face? Or that Lake could just...JUMP and.. basically fly??
