I just realized that Jesse Pinkman’s address in high school was his Aunt’s house. He was already living with her instead of his parents by the time he was in high school. The timeline of her cancer and death is a little fuzzy, but it’s likely he had to care for her while attending school. If that’s the case it’s clear he didn’t ask for accommodations or even use his Aunt’s illness as an excuse for his poor grades (Walt was surprised to hear she had been sick). Combined with his obviously untreated ADHD, it’s no wonder he turned to drug use and failed to ‘apply himself.’

And to think that through all this - taking care of his Aunt, struggling in school - his parents didn’t help; either directly with his Aunt’s illness or indirectly easing his responsibility for her by hiring care givers…

#ra speaks #jesse pinkman #breaking bad #brba #skrungly from my meth lab… #I am feeling shrimp emotions #ALSO also idk how old Jake is supposed to be (I’m guessing middle school?) which would mean Jesse has been absent from most of Jakes life #y’know I used to be in camp ‘Jesse parents are probably good parents and people Jesse just didn’t have support systems elsewhere in his life #to cope with his neurodiversity in a system that didn’t accommodate it for expectations far out of his reach’ #but unless we get some clear revelation tha Jesse was bullshitting about taking care of his aunt while she was sick #his parents really did just. leave that to him. #and the way he accuses his mom of not doing anything for his aunt while she was sick…idk it just feels very real at least to him #*ticks another cell in the ‘jesse pinkman is trans and his parents had him move out to live with his trans aunt #because even though they’re supportive enough to help his transition and respect his pronouns they are still transphobic evangelicals #who can’t fully accept these people in their lives and are looking for excuses to never see them again’

i know we as a fandom have already been to hell and back with rewindo and kanga man and i’m like. Yeah i see it and have gone insane over it and he just wants to start over and trans jesse is literally canon but like. i think there’s something to be said for hover man, too: “he’s always got a six-inch cushion of air under his feet,” jesse explains. and who is that if not jesse pinkman? always a cushion of air between him and the ground, always presenting as something Larger than himself. you can’t win the game as a kicked puppy, so you’re cap’n cook, you’re diesel, you’re a blowfish. you’re equal parts lover and son, someone that can be projected onto and Molded at will. and jesse Knows it, even if he doesn’t know that he knows. he knows that this world was not made for guys who rescue beetles and keep crayons in a bowl on their coffee table, so it’s important to maintain those six inches of separation. because what do you do when the cushion fails, when you come crashing back to earth and scrape your knees? he’s never learned to cope with the sting. the cycle repeats and inevitably you find yourself curled against the aux in a haunted house, head buzzing, clawing at your own skin. desperate for escape. “they all look like you,” jane observes Then, leaning into jesse. “i wonder what a shrink would say if he saw them.” and she may be a ghost, but for a moment he becomes transparent. it’s freeing, in a way.

#hi again i’m back to being incoherent about my Guy #i hope y’all understand what i’m trying to say i just rewatched this scene and it’s been bouncing around in my head all day #there is also something to be said for the simple heartwrenching honesty of #“i was a kid when i drew all these. it was like four years ago” like mitski late spring or whatever #jesse is a tall child. he lives in the interim. he hasn’t gotten older he has just gotten worse #but that is its own post #jesse pinkman #jane margolis #s2e10 “over” #brbabcs #brba #breaking bad #analysis #i will really be like “save me breaking bad rewatch” and then breaking bad rewatch actively makes me Worse #but what ever… #reposting this because i’m really proud of it but it got like no notes when i posted it a few hours ago #and i want to see if it will gain more traction if i post later #like i’m smart! i do media analysis!! i love my dude!!!

Jaskier and Jesse Pinkman are kind of the same person: Part 3

The last part of my nonsense comparison post, I promise!

Spoilers for both shows, and tw for mention of drug and alcohol abuse!

Part 1 Part 2

They're often blamed for things going to shit: see the infamous mountain scene between Jaskier and Geralt where Geralt brutally sends Jaskier away, and quite many scenes of Walt going off on Jesse and calling him stupid over the smallest of things.

Both are pretty ADHD-coded, hyperactive, fidgety; a big chunk of their fandoms headcanon them as ADHD- havers. (couldn't find a pic to prove this one, you just have to trust my own ADHD brain)

The writers love to torture them both, physically and emotionally alike; they both go through some extreme, bloody and horrific situations, which they miraculously leave in one piece but the shitloads of trauma remains. Since the writers love to whump the shit out of them, the fandoms usually follow the same pattern. Let's just hope Jaskier's trauma will be addressed in the upcoming seasons, the way Jesse's was!

The substance abuse. Obviously very explicit in Jesse's case, as his drug addiction is a very prominent plot point.

With Jaskier, it's mostly theorizing and a bit more subtle (and I guess this can be a controversial take), but i couldn't help but notice (and I've seen other people point it out before), that he might have a problem with drinking, especially in season 2 where he appears to be drinking heavily to soothe his heartache, presumably - the scene where he's cuddling a literal wine botttle, anyone? The show probably won't adress it, but i wish it did.

They're both kind of smart and dumb at the same time ; Jaskier is master of the seven liberal arts and an academic, and is obviously very intelligent, but he does say and do the weirdest, dumbest things (trying to befriend a monster in the bushes, for example); Jesse is beloved for his often very simple way of thinking. But the boy has street smarts, and by the end, he cooks up some incredible plans to bring down Walt and save himself. Kind of related to this, both of them often get used as comic relief. Jaskier more so, obviously, often providing the light- hearted fun when things get very heavy (he also definitely uses his humor as a coping mechanism, right??), and Jesse, while not being a comic relief character at all, often says and does the funniest lines on the show, and the most hilarious scenes are usually tied to him.

Jaskier befriending the mice in the prison cell, and Jesse befriending bugs give me lots of feelings for some reason, and it's also just such a lovely little parallel.

Poor meow meow and cringefail vibes in all the best ways. No picture needed, I think y'all get the point. I wanna put them both in my pocket.

Lots of people headcanon them trans/queer in some way. I don't know what to do with this, but I love it and find it interesting enough to point out, so here.

Alright, that's it, this is what happens when I have the thought process of "wouldn't it be fucked up if I spent an hour making a useless list" 😂
