Any headcanon for the Stricklake wedding?

Instead of the bride getting cold feet, strickler does and almost can’t go to the altar cuz he’s dramatic and misses being human sometimes 😔👊🏻

that post about BCS appealing more to women made me think, and it's interesting that Walter and Jimmy are both cringefail pathetic, and don't get me wrong Walter's whole self justifying toxic macho thing is fascinating, but Jimmy is almost more... accessibly pathetic? he's emotional, got big sad blue eyes, wanted his brother to like him, lbr a total bottom with Kim, and even the vanity is treated more sympathetic than in Breaking Bad where it was essentially flamboyance helps with the sleaze. This isn't even me saying he's better than Walter, there's a whole laundry list of flaws, it's just amusing that I can't think of anyone calling Heisenberg their pathetic bb girl

editing this to say i was writing back to you last night and didn't have time to finish it, so i saved this as a draft, and now i'm like 100000x more deranged about the contrasts between jimmy and walt than i was before, because jimmy was PREPARED TO DIE FOR HIS WIFE. walt presses on with his, "everything i do, i do for my family" (despite us knowing this becomes a falsehood of an excuse), but the pure act of selfless love jimmy exhibited for kim is true.

it definitely comes down to endearment - walt is a fascinating character, but innately unlikable from the start, whereas jimmy is lovable. walt's pathetic qualities curdle into cruelty and control, he's not cringefail in a way where we want to bring him in from the rain in a cardboard box lol but there's something about jimmy, some spark of heart or goodness, where we want better for him even though we KNOW where he's headed. accessible is a great word for it, there's something in him that we get, even when his actions are immoral or destructive.

i'm trying to remember if i just wrote about this recently or if i only thought about it in my head...there's a scene in salud when flynn comes over to see walt, and it's his birthday, and walt and jesse have just gotten into an ugly, brutal fight. walt is beat up and miserable and completely out of it, and accidentally calls flynn "jesse," and then the next day when he's a bit more clear, he talks about his experience seeing his father sick when he was a child. it's an amazing, haunting scene and i don't think it gets talked about enough. bryan's performance gets praised for the big meme moments - the "i am the one who knocks" speech, "you're goddamn right," "i suggest you tread lightly," even the breakdown in crawl space, but the monologue he has in salud is one of my favorite bits of his acting in the entire show. he's quiet. he's introspective. and he talks about these terrible memories of seeing his father wasting away from illness, the caustic smell of the hospital chemicals, the sound of his breath rattling like an empty spray paint can. and he tells flynn this formative memory, this huge, revealing part of himself, and it speaks so deeply to the response he's had to his cancer, his fear of his illness, his loathing of looking weak. his father wasn't there to, as gus once said, provide. he only remembers being afraid and seeing frailty. it's just a gutwrenchingly human scene. he says to his son that he doesn't want him to remember him like that. but then flynn says, "remembering you that way wouldn't be so bad. the bad way to remember you would be the way you've been this whole last year. at least last night you were...you were real." it's heartbreaking because all he WANTS is for his dad to let him in and be honest with him, even if that means ugly crying. the emotional vulnerability matters. but walt just...seals back up. walt cannot abide being seen in weakness. and that hubris destroys everything. the narrative knows walt is pathetic, but walt cannot face that himself.

by design, bcs recognizes jimmy's more pathetic qualities, but never needs the veneer of the power or masculinity. even when jimmy tries posturing, it's ineffective. the narrative knows, but SO DOES JIMMY. the "lightning bolts shoot from my fingertips!" scene has howard walking angrily away from him with zero reactions, and ends with jimmy panting and defeated because he's aware he was lashing out in guilt and fear after having to defend lalo, after seeing grieving family members in court. when jimmy gets mad at kim and kim says, "jimmy, you are always down," he doesn't respond with a counterargument, he just sort of collapses inwardly, and starts packing his things (in his metaphorical little rucksack) until she comes to him and softens and offers support. it's not bad to see jimmy weak or very emotional or afraid or frustrated or downtrodden because it's REAL. and we can empathize with those flaws when they're honest.

heisenberg and saul goodman are both grandiose personas, but used for very different reasons and ends. they're both their worst selves writ large, but where heisenberg feels like an extension of walt's obsessive ego, saul, even in his scumminess and vanity, is a shroud for the vulnerability of jimmy's heart - and because we know that exists in him, we respond to his faults more compassionately. in fandom parlance, jimmy's meow meowness, his lovable qualities, are possible because of that genuineness we've felt. we know he can do better, we wish he would. walt's metastatic decay doesn't allow for that. it allows for such great counterpoints between the themes of both their arcs.

#although walt would absolutely HATE being called anyone's bb girl so maybe we should to annoy him lmao #jimmy on the other hand. i think if someone said to him 'omg my poor bb girl' he'd be like 'yeah :(' #does this even make sense #jimmy mcgill #better call saul #walter white #breaking bad #anyway salud top episodes of ALL TIME #for many reasons #i think don eladio's poisoning kind of overshadows walt's section of the episode but it's something that has always stuck with me #cauldronofmorning #letterbox

The Night Of The Hunter, 1955, dir. Charles Laughton

#Horror Movies #horror aesthetic #the night of the hunter #in context this is actually a really upsetting scene wherein a community is essentially peer preasurring a woman into marrying a guy she has #resurvations aboout #who shes not attracted to #but in context i was just like 'ah man #poor walt'

[izzythehutt]

Thinking about how intensely unethical Hank and Gomez pressuring an emotionally unstable drug addict to confess all his crimes without a lawyer present was.......then remembering Jesse's lawyer was complicit with all his crimes and in fact facilitated the worst of them so calling him would have been hella awks........

#jesse pinkman #saul goodman #breaking bad #hank schrader #hank was 100% going to screw poor jesse in that situation #which like...the kid was willing to go to jail at that point just to get walt #But he could have gotten a good plea deal #And honestly Walt would be dead in 6 months anyway #So it’s like….who is suffering the consequences here

Me when I see people espouse comedically inaccurate or shallow readings of a text that in all actuality just belie an even more profound trend regarding a refusal to seriously engage with a text's themes

#'haha Walter White is such a dumb man why would he let his pride allow him to turn down financial support so he could start a drug empire' #oh wow it's almost like the show is deeply invested in the American context of manhood and capitalism in ways that inform the tragedy #which is in and of itself still a simplification! but it's less of deferral of engagement #online media discussions are so bad #walt's feelings of emasculation and his relationship to violence/power are fairly par for the course in terms of analyzing patriarchy under #capitalism in the sense that 'the faustian bargain' poor men make is that they can go to work and be humiliated by their boss because #patriarchy at least gives them the seductive 'release valve' of being the Boss of the nuclear family #thus when you look at how patriarchal violence manifests in the USA -- rather than patriarchal violence in non-/pre-capitalist systems -- #that is something that informs the shape that the neuroses and peculiarity of the collective psyche of The Oppressor tm that then informs #the kinds of violence (systemic or interpersonal) you see play out #similar to how impoverished whiteness still allows the opium of a sense of superiority to exist that then is adduced as to why those white #people should fight to uphold white supremacy and all its economic facets #again it's the core idea that one is groomed into playing a role to uphold a system of oppression by the way the system is so unquestionabl #unquestionably built into the fabric of your reality -- as opposed to any idea of inherent and inescapable ontological Badness

GALE IS GONE

#I LOVE GALE #HOW COULD WALT MAKE HIM DO THIS WHY #GALE WAS MY FAVOURITE AFTER MIKE AND GUS #WHYYYYYY #HE WAS SO NICE????? #GALE WAS KIND AND SMART AND EVERYTHING THE WORLD COULD WANT #HE WAS PURE AND TOOK JOY IN THE LITTLE THINGS #HE WAS A CUTIEPIE #he would’ve been friends with Kaneki. they could’ve talked nerd business together. #and poor Jesse oh my god #Jesse ☹️ #why does everything bad always happen to him #never fully appreciated and always deemed useless #maybe if you gave him the chance to do something he really liked his talent could actually show #he was good at woodwork. why can’t he get a job as a carpenter #he seems fairly artistic #he could make some wonderful pieces and live a good life building furniture and maybe making his own workshop #have good woodwork friends. find a girl he really likes idk #if it weren’t for Walt’s stinky ass he’d be in New Zealand with Jane anyway and probably living his best life #he could make little bird houses and Jane could draw the birds 🥺🥺 #this whole thing is just awful everyone could’ve had a good time if Walt gave up after season 1 #sand watches brb

okay listening to Jesus Christ Superstar through the lens of Breaking Bad was such a good idea because Walt would definitely consider himself the Christ figure in his own story and if you listen to it that way it creates a comically heretical new interpretation in which Jesus is actually just a manipulative asshole with delusions of grandeur and all the Blood and Destruction Because of One Man does not remotely involve a moral high ground

#Overture but its the RV driving out into the desert. all the cast come out carrying bags of cash and rolling out barrels of methylimine #I have such a clear image in my mind of the temple scene but at a drug den. destroying the market because HIS product should be the focus #leppers as meth-heads begging him to sell them more and he recoils unable to see that his the one causing their suffering in the first place #‘there have been poor always pathetically suffering look at the good things weve got’ hits different #You’ll be lost jesse. You’ll be lost and you’ll be sorry when i’m gone! #Jesse’s unhealthy codependent relationship with Walt makes him both Judas and Mary! #Except sometimes when Judas talks its Walt and Jesse is Jesus. Strange Thing Mystifying #*Badger voice* hey cool it man #I’ve also decided that Gale is Simon because it makes the song funny. Still figuring out who Pilate and Heord are #Walt really does think creating Heisenberg will conquer his inevitable death. If his name lasts it’s a form of resurrection right? #but he’s not as special as he thinks he is. that bitch stays IN the ground. Yes correct youre going to Hell but you aren’t coming back #one could argue however that by dying he gives both Jesse and Jimmy/Saul the opportunity for redemption. #what an asshole

[cauldronofmorning]

Obsessed with that early s4 scene where Walt was ranting about not being able to protect anyone, and Saul so meekly asked if he was included in that.

#poor walt. kidnap a man and he gets reminded of his brother

Wrote a little one shot about my favorite boy - 5 times Jesse Pinkman desperately needed a hug, and the one time, he finally gets one - if anyone is interested 💘

brba and bcs memes have a life of their own, i wouldn't be surprised if someone out there can recite the chicanery monologue from start to finish without knowing who chuck is or what's going on

#it's great for longevity at least? #rip all the poor souls that saw walt-falls-over.gif far too many times out of context to take it seriously #that's me with 'he can't keep getting with it' i can't help it sorry lol #op
