happy 20th anniversary to these losers who apparently only got married for legal reasons and weren’t head over heels in love with each other for well over a decade before this occurred.
I don't see why it's so important to you that we work together. I mean, we're already -- Why do you need me for this? I don't need you. I want you. You've got me.
One thing I love about Kim and Jimmys relationship is that from the start they have, like, the opposite of sexual/romantic tension. There’s literally no tension despite the fact they’re definitely not in a relationship, they’re just casually phoning each other late at night for weird robot phone sex that may or may not be a joke and giving each other foot massages and pedicures while venting to one another and getting drunk.
Their first onscreen kiss doesn’t seem at all to be their first actual kiss or their first night together, but it’s also not shown to have been a FWB situation or anything like that. We even see Jimmy on a date with another woman, but mcwexler still just explicitly Is from, like, day one and I like to think and wholeheartedly believe that was the case from when they first met. They just Clicked and didn’t even necessarily feel like they had to Do Anything with it, they were just each others person.
The moment that kind of spells the end for Kim and Jimmy, there’s a candle burning before them. It flickers, warning them of the coming danger and consequences, one of which is the dissolution of their marriage.
But years later, when Kim visits him in prison, she tries to hold the light for him, the open flame. It wavers, she’s afraid for him, trembling with the emotion of seeing him again after everything that’s happened.
He reaches out, checks with her, and steadies her hands with his own. The flame burns steadily. They then share the cigarette together, having figured it out at last.
Is Kim coming back to visit, to try to get him out? You bet. The cinematic symbolism is too strong!
Kim: Sorry Glen, it's not you, it's just that the love of my life is balding in a maximum-security Colorado prison, and I have to fuck his brains out in the visitation room every week. And I hate Miracle Whip. But it's not you!
me writing mcwexler smut: "and they really sucked at fucking, like, they were bad. he was clumsy and way too excited and she couldn't stop giggling and acting like a teenager with a crush. but they loved each other so they enjoyed it greatly so who cares lol"
saw some guy complaining ab the finale on twitter and saying that “the show is called BETTER CALL SAUL not BETTER IMPRESS KIM” and man. thats how i know we’ve won
i wish i had literally any expertise with editing software bc in my head there is an unimaginably cool edit of mcwexler to back on the chain gang by pretenders. like just imagine it...
