hoffman heard john say “it can never be personal” and then proceeded to have the most intense, personal, homoerotic rivalry with the main detective on his case

SAVE AS I SAVE! JUDGE AS I JUDGE!

Saw X? Never heard of her can I interest you in fanart that is somehow simultaneously for Saw IV and Saw VI? How I managed to forget about my all time favorite murder man I have no idea

Most underrated character out of all

[iveremade]

None of that would have happened if the Jigsaw apprentices had just tried gay sex instead of making all those traps

Hoffrigg before shit went down

[littlesapphicraccoonguy]

I like to think that everyone who died in the bathroom trap just bullies Hoffman, and he can’t do anything about it since they’re all ghosts

Turning thirty-whatever and slowly watching all of your friends get married - even the ones you were hoping you would end up as more than just friends with.

Kinda amazing i only just now had the realization about how Hoffman is so tormented by loneliness. Nearly every one of his own character struggles and plots is him desperately grabbing at any connection he can have. Him nearly going as far as going on hands and knees to beg that someone understand him, trust him. He is constantly clawing at this idea that he can still be trusted, that someone can still desire him, in some fashion, after everything. Strahm. Rigg. Even John's betrayal of him in the final 2 play into his need to fill the loneliness that's been in him since Angelina, maybe even before her. He refuses to change his ways, already to far gone. But he can make someone understand. He can make someone become him in hopes that maybe Maybe he won't have to be so alone anymore. Every part of his setup is defined by isolation. He isolates himself after Angelina. He isolates himself from his mercy as an apprentice. He separates himself from who he was to be who he is. Hes never shown to have any life outside of the police and jigsaw, and both of these lives are so lonely. John had a family he was building. Intentional or not. In the span of one game, Mark is about the only one left standing. Logan and Lawrence seem to never be majorly involved after John, Logan waiting another 10 years before ever actually participating in a game, and its just a copy of his own, probably long after Mark has either died or seemingly disappeared to never be found. Lawrence only becomes involved because of John's direct order, and that order was only a What If- when he had given it. There's no sign Schenk even knew Mark existed. He could have been lost to the ghost of Jigsaw, simply a body for the spirit to manifest in.

Mark just wanted someone to know him enough to fill a space in him that could never be filled by another person.
