saw trap recording but jigsaw’s cat hasn’t been fed even though it’s 6 pm so it’s really hard to focus on the instructions because of the yowling

From Saw II: Flesh & Blood. Really good little blurb written by Tapp about Hoffman. Just some character traits I don’t see handled often and really enjoy.
EDIT: I made an entire post on all the relevant lore and case files from Saw: The Videogame, and Saw II: Flesh & Blood! If you like this kind of lore, please check the posts out here and here!

the saw universe is pigpilled already, and so is ours
john kramer’s ideology, or the pigpill as i like to call it, did not spring fully formed out of his broken head when he crashed his car after his wife’s miscarriage and his terminal cancer diagnosis. even before losing any single fuck he had to give before that moment, do you know what he was like? he was a rich white guy in his fifties who explicitly hated the work his wife did helping out addicts. those are a dime in a dozen. your dad could be one of them.
the pigpill is just a far more radicalized approach for your average social darwinist take common in your everyday conservative. john literally talks about survival of the fittest to matthews when given the opportunity to soapbox. when he sees someone, anyone, living any life that he disapproves of, he thinks they were endowed with absolute freedom of circumstance from birth, and they are where they are, doing what they want by choice. even if they’re doing this because they’re poor, or addicted, or mentally ill. therefore, he gets carte blanche on how to deal with him.
“why is this important” to explain to you why saw 3D: the final chapter is secretly genius actually and here’s why—[gets dragged off stage by a cane]
bobby dagen convinced the entire world that he was a jigsaw survivor, sharted out the most mid self-help book in the world, and people ate it up because the basis for the pigpill is already deeply embedded in modern society. all that bootstrap narrative is what john tells himself when (or if) he asks himself why adam could not earn a living doing anything other than invading people’s privacy, or why addison had to resort to sex work, or any of his other victims really. that same bootstrap narrative is also the backbone of the self-help industry. and that’s how you get bobby dagen parroting john’s lines back to john’s own victims, and it’s not even out of place. no one notices it being fundamentally wrong, except for simone.
… it also kind of contextualizes why hoffman and gordon would eat that shit up, too, you know.

in the next saw movie i think the new apprentice should be a bored housewife looking for a hobby. she’s weirdly enthusiastic about john’s message and drinks wine while observing the traps because she never gets to have fun anymore. hoffman is scared of her. i have covid rn sorry if this post is bad

crazy how lawrence had his hand on adam's cheek and was rubbing it to calm him down but that wasn't enough so he put that hand on the back of adam's neck and pulled him closer so they could touch their foreheads together. lawrence gordon you are a sick bastard
