Fuck it.

Random Yu-Gi-Oh GX headcanon dump part 2!

Part 1

Once again in no particular order, just the order they pop out of my brain.

Most of my headcanons are upsetting so we'll see what gets released from the vault this time 👀

Atticus takes care of anyone and everyone but himself, to an almost self-destructive degree at times.

The J-Squad kept in touch with Chumley after he left

Atticus is 100% a theater kid

Of the Primary Color Trio(tm), Syrus is the only one they trust to cook. As we've established, Jaden will burn down the kitchen if he tries, and Hassleberry isn't a bad cook, but he's the kinda guy who will have something really good and then walk away and accidentally wreck it.

Hassleberry has never measured ingredients in his life. He doesn't know what tea/tablespoons or measuring cups are.

Bastion's top artist on Spotify is Frank Sinatra

After graduation Atticus and Alexis made Chazz write down a list of things/experiences he's never done or had because of how restrictively he was brought up and they make it their mission to make sure he can cross off everything on the list.

Alexis has painted Chazz's nails for him more than once because she does a cleaner job than he does. 💅

Alexis also taught Chazz how to do eye liner

Jim tells people Shirley is his seeing eye croc when they ask why he has her

After graduation, every single one of them eventually starts going to therapy

Jesse was the one who finally convinced Jaden to at least try therapy after he repeatedly insisted to everyone that he didn't need it. He did

This is kinda canon actually, but Hassleberry doesn't remember what happens when he goes dinosaur berserk mode. The headcanon part is that it's not just like fuzzy memories or anything, there are just straight up holes in his memory. And it really bothers him.

Yuki is Jaden's mom's last name. She's Japanese but his dad is American and when they got married, he took her name.

Eventually, Bastion does return from the other dimension with Tania. Everyone is happy to see him. No one ever forgot him.

Aster carries Echo's memory with him until the day he dies. Just like his father, he'll always remember the poor girl who was murdered for a card. The girl he couldn’t save.

Crowler's the teacher everybody added on Facebook and all that after graduation because they're not his students anymore so they're allowed to be friends with him on social media 🤭

Syrus really does love his brother a lot, bit therapy really opens his eyes to how so many of his personal issues and fears and anxieties and inhibitions stem from Zane and how badly he treated him and how badly it stifled him as a person and is able to bring himself to hold Zane accountable for it all so he can actually find a way to heal from it all and they can truly mend their relationship.

Jaden regrets not holding Zane accountable for how he treated Syrus past their duel in episode 8 where the subsequently drops the issue because of Zane's dueling skills.

Bastion can play the piano

Chazz is the most bisexual little man on the planet 💖💙💜 pretty sure we all agree on this one

Atticus is pan 💖💛💙

Jaden and Jesse have gone as Jed and Octavius for Halloween at least once

One year Atticus used the fact that Halloween is his birthday as an excuse to convince Chazz be Snow White for Halloween so they could go as Snow White and Prince Florian.

By the time they're grown up and he and Atticus are living together/married the only family member of his that Chazz still keeps any contact with is his mom

Aster has intense trust issues after learning the truth about The D and his father's death

Hassleberry tilts his head like a dog when he's confused

Syrus actually gets sick a lot. 🤒

Zane giving kids cards to stop them from bullying Syrus was a common occurrence when they were little kids

Before Zane went off to train at Sheppard's dojo and before he started abusing Syrus in his own ways they were actually decently close considering Zane's inherent emotional distance

Slade and Jagger hated Chazz from day one.

Alexis has nightmares about Atticus being taken away again after he comes back. If they're bad enough, she'll go to his dorm in the middle of the night to check on him and make sure that he's safe, and often ends up sleeping on his couch for the rest of the night.

Chazz knows his family is homophobic so after he cuts his ties with his dad and his brothers, he comes out to Crowler because he's the closest thing to a genuine father figure he's really ever had

Crowler officiates Chazz and Atticus's wedding 💍

Inspired by Yusei, Jaden got a motorcycle post Bonds Beyond Time. He thought it would impress Jesse. It did.

Jesse is the first one to get their driver's license

Axel is the only one who has never crashed their car

Axel will always come whenever anyone needs help. No matter who, and no matter how far away they are.

While working on Chazz's experiences list Atticus and Alexis took him to the mall. She left them unsupervised for a few minutes to go to the bathroom. When she came back, they were gone, and when she found them again, Chazz had his ears pierced. Atticus had taken him to Claire's. She will never leave them unsupervised again. 🤦‍♀️

I think I'll call this one here for now!

Maybe next year I'll come back with part 3 🤭

Soulmate AU Series- Benny

Benny Lafitte x Reader

You and your soulmate have the same tattoo

@decadentstrangernacho I swear I didn't forget this!!!

An anchor of all things, marking your right wrist from the day you'd turned eighteen. Your soulmark, the one sure way you had of knowing who your soulmate was should you ever meet them. What a crock. If the myth was true and Zeus was the one responsible for splitting souls in half and forcing them to try to seek out their missing part you wouldn't given him the satisfaction of playing into the game.

You wore a leather cuff around your wrist, covering the mark. You knew for a fact someone could be happy without ever meeting their soulmate, hell you'd seen first hand the pain Sam had gone through when his mark faded after Jess, the pain Bobby had still been in from Karen's death and how insane John went after losing Mary.

Most hunters had taken to covering their marks, whether with cuffs like you and Dean or in some other way. Your life was destined bloody, brutal and short. Why drag some poor idiot down with you?

When Dean got blasted to purgatory you and Sam ended up splitting ways for a few months. He needed a break but you knew if you ever stopped hunting and gave yourself time to break you may not ever pull yourself back together.

---------------

Almost a year passed when one night while you were crashing in one of Bobby's many cabins you got a call from Sam saying you needed to meet him as soon as possible. You never would've dreamed Dean was waiting with him.

You and the boys quickly settled back into the routine the three of you had gotten used to over years of hunting together. It worked so why try to fix it?

-------------

One night after a particularly bloody hunt you were washing your hands in the sink of the hotel the three of you had picked while Dean waited for you to stitch his arm. You glanced up and realized he was standing in the doorway, holding your bandana to the wound but his eyes were glued to your bare wrist "Dean, you good?" You asked him as you dried your hands off. Sam had already put your shoulder back in place and cleaned up well enough to go after food so it was just the two of you.

He shook his head almost as if he had been in a trance "Yeah, I'm good sweetheart" you narrowed your eyes "Either you're lying or having more ptsd from purgatory. Which is it?" He shrugged "I'm exhausted and starving" you laughed at his words "See? Easy enough to tell me what's really wrong"

Dean didn't want you to know he was staring at your soulmark because for the last year he'd been staring at the matching one. Hell you still didn't know exactly how he'd gotten out of purgatory. He'd told Sam the entire story and even introduced him to Benny the weekend you'd gone to help Jody out but happened to leave out the part about Benny being your soulmate. How the hell should he approach the fact when he knew that your aunt had gotten killed by a nest and that was when Bobby had found you? Hell you'd hated the soulmark since it first appeared, even trying to get a tattoo over it.

He sat still while you put three stitches in his arm then cleaned the wound about the time Sam came walking back in the door. Sam wanted to tell you about Benny but would he if he knew?

You laid across the backseat of the impala laughing as Dean purposely sang along badly to the radio just to make Sam groan. You weren't sure where the three of you were headed because both of them were being dodgy about it but you didn't care. You trusted them fully and if they said there was a case, there was a case.

You'd almost dozed off when you heard Dean's voice and thought at first he was talking to Sam but then he said "Yeah, we'll meet ya there" who? Were the three of you backing another hunter? And what was bad enough to warrant four sets boots on the dirt?

-------------

About an hour later you felt the impala lurch to a stop and sat up to see where you were. It looked like you'd headed south, were you in Louisiana?

The impala was parked in front of a gumbo shack. You motioned towards it with your hand "What are we doing here Dean?" He glanced back at you and shrugged "Don't know about you but I'm getting hungry. Figured we'd stop for a bite"

You weren't sure what the two of them was up to but you noticed him and Sam exchange a loaded look. "Is something going on?" You asked and was met with two innocent shrugs that were anything but. You wanted to argue more but your stomach growled and Dean grinned victoriously.

-----------------

You followed the two of them into the doors of the gumbo shack. Music played from an old jukebox but whatever was cooking smelled amazing. You spotted a pretty brunette woman at the register who greeted the three of you warmly and said to sit anywhere.

You picked a corner booth, giving the boys the wall and putting your back to the room. Any other time you'd insist on your back to the wall but with them you knew you were safe.

You felt a familiar prickling at the back of your neck but ignored it when the pretty brunette walked over. Her name tag said Elizabeth and you could see Dean's dimples he was grinning so hard. "What can I get for you three?" She asked, her accent telling you she was from around here. You glanced at the menu then back at her "It all looks good. Any recommendations?"

She smiled warmly "looking for a sandwich or something filling?" You cut your eyes at Dean "We've been on the road a while so I'd say something filling" she nodded "Then I'd say the gumbo. It's my favorite" "All we needed to know. Three gumbos" she wrote down on her order pad then looked at the boys "Drinks?" "Tea" all three of you echoed. She laughed "Love an easy table. Roy will bring it over if I'm busy"

You watched her walk off then glanced back at Dean "If you don't try to get her number I am" he laughed "You're always eager on the button to bust me aren't ya?" You shrugged with a grin.

----------------

While you waited on your food you glanced around the inside of the restaurant. There were a few other patrons but your eyes landed on the man at the grill. He was around Dean's height, maybe a couple inches shorter but damn was he broad. He turned as if he could feel his eyes on you and when his blue eyes locked onto yours you felt your face warm. He was really good looking but you hated getting caught checking someone out.

The moment didn't go unnoticed by Dean who whistled low "Sweetheart are you claiming everyone in here today?" Refusing to let him see you blush you rolled your eyes "Why not?" He laughed and poor Sam looked just done with you both.

-------------------

You were emailing Garth when you felt a shiver go up your back and looked up to see the man who'd been cooking was sitting bowls down in front of Dean and Sam. You met his eyes and he gave you a warm smile "Enjoy darling"

He extended his right hand to place a bowl in front of you but his sleeve was rolled up to his elbow exposing his wrist and the anchor marking. You froze staring at his wrist as the prickle ran across your back again.

You looked from the man to Dean, realization sitting in that this was your soulmate and he was a vampire. He gave the slightest shake of his head and you felt like you'd been dipped in ice water. He knew, both things. You felt tears spring to your eyes and looked at Sam but he looked just as guilty. "Guessing you still haven't told her?" The man asked and you started to shake your head. The two people you trusted had lied to you and apparently whatever God was responsible for soulmates had a sick sense of humor.

You stood up, shoving past the vampire and headed for the door. You felt like you were going to be sick.

“Why did you think springing all this on her was a good idea Dean?” Sam and Benny both had been under the impression he'd told you everything but it turned out he hadn't told you anything.

Dean shrugged “She couldn't attack him in a restaurant Sammy! I mean we know her thing with vamps, was there any good way of her reacting here?” Benny shook his head, feeling oddly protective of you even after only meeting you once “She shouldn't have found out like that” he snapped.

Dean cut his eyes at him, raising an eyebrow but Sam laughed lightly “He's met her now, it's his instincts to protect her” Dean nodded slowly “Soulmate shit is weird” then added “Sam track her phone we gotta find her”

Ok maybe storming off on foot in a town you didn't know with no money and only a handgun was a bad idea but how could they hide this from you?

You unsnapped the cuff as you walked, staring at the anchor. Why a vampire? And how had Sam and Dean met him and why hadn't they taken care of him before ever having the chance to find out he was your soulmate?

You shook your head and snapped it back. You needed to call them but you were still pissed.

—-------------------

You weren't sure how long or how far you walked before you heard the familiar rumble of the impala's engine pulling up next to you.

You stopped walking and heard Dean's voice “Sweetheart, I'm sorry. Please just get in and I'll tell you the entire story” you spun to face the car and realized it was only him “Where's Sam?” “With Benny. Now please get in”

You were hurt yeah but deep down you knew you could trust Dean with your entire life. You could give him the chance to explain even if it had better be the mount Everest of explanations.

About an hour later you and Dean were pulling up to a small cabin. When he parked you hesitated, picking at the cuff on your wrist “All I'm promising is to introduce myself. I trust you enough to trust him” he nodded “All I ask”

You climbed out the car behind Dean and followed him to the porch before realizing Sam and Benny were sitting on it watching the two of you. They stood as you got closer.

Dean looked from you to Benny before formally introducing the two of you. You took a deep breath before extending your hand. The moment Benny shook it there was a feeling like electricity that hit your mark. He must have felt it too. “Darling I didn't know Dean hadn't told you about me. I wouldn't have agreed to ambush you with this. I don't expect anything from you I just wanted to meet you once Dean told me about you, after he saw my mark or well after he saw my mark and fully trusted me”

—--------------

Like you'd noticed before he was good looking, broad with bright blue eyes and a crooked smile that made your heart flip and that accent was a killer. You almost forgot about him being a vampire, almost. “I didn't mean to react like that but me and vampires don't have a good track record” he nodded “Sam filled me in on your aunt”

You reached for his right hand and he gladly gave it to you, watching as you lightly traced the anchor on his skin “I have no clue why a hunter and a vampire were chosen for each other” he shrugged “When I was human and even after I was turned I figured I didn't have a soulmate because there was no mark but then this showed up”

You looked up at him “When?” When he told you how long the mark had been there you laughed “That was when I turned eighteen. So your soulmark showed up while you were in purgatory?” He nodded “Didn't figure I'd ever have a chance of meeting you until Dean landed there”

You realized you still had his hand so you dropped it gently before offering him a smile “Guess you're not that bad. You helped Dean, you don't feed off humans and you're not ugly” he laughed at that “And you're downright beautiful”

You shook your head “Easy Lafitte on the sweet talk” “Yes ma'am” he teased and you shook your head “I can offer you my friendship, if anything more comes we'll cross that bridge when we get to it but for now we can get to know each other” he smiled “I'd like nothing more”

Miles: I like personality quizzes in theory but in practice I just get irritated by the semantic ambiguity of literally every question. "On a spectrum from scientific to artistic what are you" motherfucker I literally wax poetic about the laws of thermodynamics where the fuck does that land on your spectrum.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jess: Orbweaver! What’re you doing today?

Bonnie: Having my day ruined with whatever you’re about to ask me to do.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hobie: It's your first time being a fugitive, so I made you a watch.

Gwen: Thank you, Hobie.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ben Riley: I'm sorry I messed everything up. I guess I'm not cut out for the high stakes world of having friends.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miguel: It was reported to me by—

Miles: By your spies?

Miguel: No, no. Not spies. People I have terrorized into doing my bidding and watching other people and places for me. You pay spies.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pavitr: Remember how I have such good luck that it’s almost bullshit?

Gwen: I’m afraid to ask, but go on.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Miguel: Bonnie, a question — if Jess and I were drowning, who would you save?

Bonnie: You can both swim.

Miguel: True, but it’s a hypothetical question, so who would you save?

Bonnie: My time and effort.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Margo: Remember Spiderwomen, before you say or do anything, ask yourself: Is this something that would get me diagnosed with female hysteria and locked in the attic by my relatives in the late 19th century? If the answer is yes, proceed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ham: Hey! How’s it going?

Peni: On all levels except physical, I am dead.

S06E10

For a golf episode, okay. For a filler, also okay. Not that much going on.

Let's get one thing out of the way first:

Episode title says caddy. They liked that pun, I guess. As the grammar website I checked explains it further, it's not considered a huge error.

CityTV has such a nerve to put their logo in there after all their scheduling changes and general lack of interest for this show (I have no beef with that interview man, I forgot his name, but his interview with Diesel and John Reardon before the season premiere was actually fun).

I absolutely had no idea that women's golf was so lucrative.

"All I heard is sandwich" Thank god for Sarah. I only like Sarah from now on. Not even Rex, he seems too into golf, although there are too many balls involved for a dog to stay indifferent.

Joe joined the golf club when Camilla was born? Didn't he, like, adopt her after he married her mother? Or is my recollection false?

Charlie had worked as a caddie. Well, certainly some backstory there. And of course he's like, the best of them at it even if he doesn't want to join the club.

Seriously, we can't take them anywhere. Especially Rex, whose nose doesn't take a single day off. Boom, one more day off ruined.

I tuned out in every single golf talk, which is unfortunate because it was mixed with the plot (still found the culprit as soon as they appeared on screen). It's just really hard to follow when I don't care about it at all. Since I like almost all sports, I consider those I don't like as non-sports. Mainly golf and formula car racing.

They cut the chase scene? What?

That scene where Charlie drives a golf cart and Rex runs alongside him does not deserve a cool music lmao

Charlie playing golf as he's interviewing a (at the time) person of interest. I can't decide if this is unprofessional or I just don't like golf.

Ah, please someone tell me how many shots they did for that uninterrupted shot of Charlie's short putt that went pretty close to the hole. I know that the guys actually golf in real life but this had to be close but also not go in the hole for Rex to grab it.

Amazon! How the hell can you put an ad about fast delivery in this show, when you consistently fail to deliver the actual show on time in your streaming service? Am I the only one seeing the irony here? Last season it was too early, this season too late.

Also, Jesse, don't you dare wear that. Charlie's orange jumpsuit was actually a better shade of orange than this one.

Okay, maybe there were a bunch of chase scenes in this episode so they felt they could lose one. Acceptable.

Poor Rex's head. I'd have liked more of Charlie's worry please, although it seems like we might get this in a future episode.

This might be the first time we see Rex's teeth as Charlie checks for god knows what. Come on, show, let Rex bare his teeth just once while growling at a bad guy!

*gasps* Skeletal remains! On a family show!

They shouldn't have spoiled Jesse's shirt in the end scene on their promotional pictures. Not that it's such a big thing, but they should actually stop uploading promotional pictures from the final scenes altogether, or post them after the show has aired.

I liked the teamwork in this one. I believe the golf episode had been brewing since S2, where they had to scrap the idea due to a heavy snowfall, which turned the golf field into a ski slope. There is no avoiding golf, apparently!

Promo: What the actual fuck. Charlie and Rex combined whump? Charlie thrown out of a moving truck? Rex missing? Charlie having temporary amnesia? Hospital? Is it my birthday? (Well, it's actually pretty close to my name day instead.) Please squeeze a scene in there with a worried Sarah, and I take back every single bad thing I said about this season (the show only, I don't take back anything about CityTV). Yes, even the whales.

Of course this would be the episode that they'd take a break on. Oh, well. After that terrible hiatus, I can stand to wait a few days. A day had passed already as I was looking for the episode (turns out that they knew what they were doing lol).

ok so we got the gangs kids...but who are the kids fave 'relatives' other than their parents?

Cam:

As mentioned in the baby posts, her Aunt Miranda is like her childhood hero! She's the one that inspired her to become an online influencer/entertainer (which as of today is a totally canon thing people do in the Post-Merge world, thanks to that short). Mira also spoils this kid rotten anyway (which can't be helped when Mira winds up the one babysitting her the most)

She also has a very big soft spot for Lloyd, as she loves hearing his thoughts on life (being the big important Sensei, Master of Life, and Conduit of Energy now) as it helps her maintain reassurance of her own humanity (and Lloyd never lets her ever doubt). This is actually her POV in this snippet

Blaire:

When they're not arguing or fighting, their favorite 'relative' is actually Wyldfyre, as Wyldfyre has the chance to pass on some of things Kai taunt her unto Blaire—or at least provide the proof that he actually does know what he's talking about. They also like to play games like Capture the Flag with them on opposing teams (and dragging the rest of the alliance into the fray and it gets so intense so quick. Poor Finn thought he was gonna die to friendly fire.)

Cole is also their favorite sparring partner/mento, but Zane is the one they face the most.

Also is a bad influence on Lloyd and can drag him into his old pranking ways from time to time. Just for old time's sake.

Blythe:

Doesn't have a favorite so much as one he goes to when he desperately needs a quiet break from the general chaos—which, he usually finds with Zane! The two hit it off due to shared interests and perspectives (books, cooking, philosophy in geometry), but even Zane has his silly moments that make Blythe question his own whole 'no-nonsense' thing going on

He also has a soft spot for his Uncle Jay, who is just as zany as everyone else, but is very intelligent when provoked on the right subject–and can also actually make Blythe laugh against his will. Jay brags about it to Kai for days afterwards every time it happens.

Briar:

Follows Pixal around a LOT, as she's kind of the other only non-elemental around, and through her gets inspired to be a Samurai (like her Aunt Nya used to be), but doesn't want to butt in on Seven's whole stick (but Seven actually wouldn't mind a sidekick). Pixal is also the one that shows her how to make weapons outside of blacksmithing (like laser cannons–PIXAL NO)

And speaking of Aunt Nya, Briar spends a lot of time with her as well! Nya makes sure she's included in on all the training that goes on, avoiding what went down in her own youth, and making sure she's not always left behind either (which can be admittedly difficult give than Briar is significantly younger than the others). And when they're not fighting or working, Nya knows a great place that sells the smoothies Briar really really likes :')

Lloyd also trains her personally in a variety of weapons (...and Briar may or may not "inherit" Kid!Lloyd's weapon mania, ahahahahaaaa)

Lucina:

It's awkward for Lucina to bond with some of the others, as they turned out very differently from the ninja she's known in her timeline (and heck, she never even got to meet Alter!Nya) and thus she never knows how to act, but Jesse is one of the few people who is basically the same in this timeline, so she tends to go to him just for a sense of familiarity beyond Lloyd himself. Jesse also likes having her around–she reminds him very much of a certain old friend from his youth ;w;)/

Otherwise, she really does like everyone equally, but does feel a little sad with how readily familiar everyone else tends to be with Lloyd (as it constantly reminds herself that she isn't technically Lloyd's kid either)

Finn:

Finn adores his Aunt Skylor, and thinks she's the coolest person ever (because she is). Skylor, however, always puts in extra effort to keep up this image he has of her, even though it's entirely unnecessary. She can do something super embarrassing like dropping and breaking a full stack of plates, and Finn will wind the narrative to be that it was somehow for the good of all people. Beyond that, she is also his sounding board for whenever he tries his hand at poetry (for he may not be as smart as his parents, but Finn is unmatched when it comes to the written word). Skylor also can be convinced to take him swimming when no one else will by giving her baby doll eyes snksnk

He also really looks up to Cole, who can be super strong and responsible when the time calls for it but also knows how (even if it took a few years for him to get there). Cole complements some of Finn's poetry with his own art, and even gets Finn into the music scene. Cole also has a tendency to give him pep talks whenever Finn's feeling low about himself ;w;

Quinn:

Spends a lot of time with Sora, always convincing Sora to take breaks and shows her the wonderful world of video gaming. Quinn is also trying to better her familiarity with technology to at least be able to fix a mech or machine should it ever break down (since she also did not inherit her parents' smarts), but while Sora helps, she also tries to encourage Quinn to seek out her own passions and discover what she's good at. Which, Quinn struggles with a lot.

...which is something her Uncle Kai is familiar with in spades, and will often join her on mini-quests to find things she likes or is good at. Together they learn she really likes sports and racing, but also has a knack for understanding fashion and make-up (which Nya is bewildered that this is coming from her offspring but she does her best to be supportive), and Kai and a not-jealous Jay are more than happy to be a practice model for her.

Seven:

Seven tends to hang out with Arin—or, Arin tends to track them down, as they have a vast amount of archives of all the Ninja's adventures in their database, and they wind up recalling a lot of stories to confirm or deny Arin's ninja-theories (or simply embarrass the classic ninja with things Arin would have never known otherwise...such as the Duck Chowder incident, which Zane SPECIFICALLY told them not to spread around—!) Seven is also, lamentably, not a good cook, so Arin at least shows them how to make a decent pie once to surprise their parents with.

Seven also makes surprise upgrades to Arin's grappling hook which leaves everyone else screaming in terror while Arin's just like "This is the best gift ever :') )

25 Days of Life Day: Day 24 - Life Day Eve with Jesse

25 Days of Life Day Masterlist

Summary: The plan is to watch movies, Jesse surprises you.

A/N: Happy Holidays, everyone! No matter what holiday you celebrate, if you celebrate any, this has been fun. One more day left in the 25 Days of Life Day! <3

You spent all day cleaning your house, readying the living room to feel more cozy so that it’d set the mood for watching Life Day movies tonight. It’d been a while since you and Jesse had had a holomovie marathon. You made a list of all of your favorites, ready to stay up late, snacking and watching the movies.

Unfortunately, when poor Jesse gets to your apartment, he looks absolutely exhausted. You instantly feel bad that you told him this morning before he left that you wanted to stay up late. He was more than eager 12 hours prior, and you know that since you said something this morning, he was going to follow through with the plan no matter how beyond exhausted he was.

“Why don’t we lay in bed and watch them.” You suggest, trying to lead him to the bedroom after he takes off his armor, but he stops you.

“You know one of two things will end up happening if we go in there and watch the movies.” He smiles, nodding toward the bedroom and then pulling you against him. “I’ll either end up fucking you senseless or I’ll fall asleep, meaning no movies will be watched.”

“I guarantee it’ll be the ladder.” You kiss him, holding his hands below you.

“Couch. Now. I’ll make some caf.” He kisses you on the head and swats your butt as you walk toward the couch.

“You know it’s okay if you fall asleep, right?” You ask him, plopping down on the couch.

Instead of him answering, you hear the front door open and you lean forward so that you can try to see what he’s doing. Did he just leave? What is he doing?

“Jess?” You call out, confused.

When Jesse comes back in, he’s holding something wrapped in a blanket. Standing up to look at what he’s holding.

“What is that?” You ask him, confused.

He lowers it so you can see and find that he’s brought home a chunky black baby tooka.

“I wanted to give him to you tomorrow for Life Day but since it’s Life Day Eve and Rex wasn’t able to hold onto him for me tonight, I’m giving him to you now.” Jesse grins. “I hope that’s okay.”

Unable to hold your excitement in, you take the tooka from Jesse and cuddle him close.

“Hi there, sweet boy.” You coo, eyes going really wide up at Jesse, unable to believe he got you a tooka for Life Day.

“I hope you like him.” Jesse kisses you on the head.

How could you not?

“Of course I do. I love him. Thank you.” You kiss Jesse quickly and then go and sit on the couch as you play the holomovie.

“I thought maybe he could keep you company while I’m away.” Jesse smiles softly, wrapping an arm around your shoulders as he pulls you closer.

This tooka was perhaps the most thoughtful gift you’ve ever received. Jesse just continues to prove how lucky you are to have him.

“Absolutely.” You grin, cuddling into Jesse’s side as you hold the tooka close to you.

About ten minutes into the movie, the tooka climbs up underneath Jesse’s chin, making himself comfy and about five more minutes after that, Jesse’s snores fill the room, making this Life Day Eve holomovie marathon come to an end.

This is why we lie, Jesse!

Everyone talks about the (many) times that Walt lied to/consciously used the truth to manipulate Jesse over the course of Breaking Bad, but rarely do I see people discuss one of the few times he was completely honest with him—the scene where they discuss the buyout in 5x06, also titled "Buyout."

Just two men, separated by a sea of shadows and sage furniture

This scene gets somewhat overshadowed by the hilarious, awful dinner with Skyler that follows it, but I find it fascinating—particularly its placement at the tail-end of their partnership, an episode before they have the infamous Almost Final Breakup You Are Not Worth Five Million Bucks Fight.

This might be the scene where Walt is the most honest with Jesse about...almost anything.

There's no game here—it's just two people, with a complicated and close relationship, each trying to convince the other to do something they don't want to do. Walt decides in this case to just be candid about why he does not want to sell his share of the methylamine, presumably because he thinks Jesse will be understanding of his motives, maybe even sympathetic to him.

And given what happens, you can see why he defaults back to lies and manipulation.

Walter used honesty! It was super ineffective!

First of all, the fact that he invites Jesse to his home in the first place is a major change from the norm for them. You could chock it up to him subconsciously wanting to piss off his wife (which later happens), but there's a level of intimacy there. Walt has a very specific way of compartmentalizing his crime and civilian life, and part of that is keeping Jesse far, far away from the latter.

Maybe it's just because he's tired, or because he's drinking (was there ever a scene where Walt was honest on this show where him being drunk or drugged wasn't the cause?) but I honestly can't point to a single moment in this conversation that feels manipulative. For Walt it's vulnerable, a rather intimate admission of a weakness—he's kind of abrupt and rude, too, but Jesse knows him well enough to see that's way more honest for Mr. White than when he's being overly "nice"—being nice is exclusively for moments of manipulation or the product of guilt when it comes to their relationship.

And he really gets personal about his past, which is so not something he does in his relationship with Jesse. As far as we know the only other person he's ever confessed that he's been harboring these feelings about his departure from Gray Matter to is Gretchen (though in her case it was an accusation that he was cut out, in Jesse's case it's admitting he thinks he made the mistake which cost his children "their birthright.")

He is actually willing to admit to Jesse that he made a poor business decision in his youth that he's regretted ever since. He's willing to just put it out on the table and frame his desire to stay in the drug business as being about personal ambition (his own potential.)

The only thing he doesn't admit is the fact that his breakup with Gretchen is probably why he left the company, which could be the subject of a whole 'nother meta.

And how does Jesse respond to this candor, this honesty?

Jesse remembering fonder days of nearly strangling Mr. White to death in the RV

You can see the disillusionment happening in real time. The scales are falling from his eyes on-screen! Jesse really did take Walt's 'family man' motivations at face value, and to realize that his mentor's temperamental personality is actually a cope for his profound wounds and deep-seated resentment at his thwarted ambitions...I think it legit disturbs him.

Maybe for the first time, he really sees Walt for who he is—someone who wants money for his family after he's gone, that he could understand. Someone for whom "empire building" is so appealing in and of itself he doesn't care if people die or its built on an addictive drug that destroys lives? Uh....

This is one of the many things that separates them—Jesse just isn't naturally ambitious in the same way. Walt may have taught him to "apply himself", but the inherited perfectionist tendencies were really in service of gaining Walt's love and respect, not gratifying his own ego.

For Walt, being honest is presenting things in a way that he would find compelling, and he and Jesse are so wildly different (Jesse still has a conscience, for one thing) that he always has to consciously take advantage of their differences to get what he wants out of him.

Now this? This is a conscious manipulation. It's also an admission of something painful and deeply personal (the fact that Skyler told him she'll be happy when he's dead) but with the clear intent of, if not guilting poor soft Jesse who also knows what it's like to be rejected by your family into changing his mind about the buyout, at least making him feel bad about it. Because if there's one thing Walt is good at, it's punishing his loved one for not falling in line.

This makes Walt's desperate clinging to the relationship in the next episode even more tragic, because as fucked up as they are, this is probably the most emotionally intimate relationship he's got at this point. Sure, Jesse's horrified by him, but he's marginally less horrified by him than Skyler is!

hi i was wondering if you knew why people are mad at ashton - something about atl but i don’t know what that means - i keep seeing it on my timeline but no one explains shit and i figured since your ashton’s #1 fan you would know 😭

oh dear, lots of panicked ash stans in my inbox today <3 yall need to take some deep breaths, ok? things will be ok <3

anyway, it's me, Jess, ur elected representative for ash stans and I will be glad to inform you a little bit more of The Current Situation.

I have also already posted an official Press Release about it if you would like to check that out too <3

now lock in for a jessay.

so here's the situation: our lovely Hippie Himbo has yet again dropped himself into hot water because he DJed an emo nite (because who doesn't love a side quest) and, at that emo nite, Ashton made the worst mistake there is and admitted to playing All Time Low.

(im being a little sarcastic if you cant tell)

now, why is this an issue? I'll try to give you an abridged version as to why everyone (and when i say everyone i mean performative social justice warriors on twitter who have never had a real human interaction a day in their life) is so upset.

in 2021, All Time Low's guitarist Jack Barakat was accused of sexually harassing an underage girl. now, the actual details of the accusation are very blurry (as all allegations that surface anonymously on twitter are) and came with no actual factual evidence, but did that stop twitter from taking it as fact? no it sure didn't because one thing about twitter is that you are guilty until proven innocent. this also then created the dog-pile spread of misinformation that twitter is so famous for producing in which a bunch of other allegations came out about them. One user claimed she had found "97 allegations" against the band. I'm also going to point out that when she was asked where she got the number from, she admitted she made it up and deleted her account. additionally, the account that started the accusations also deleted its account not long after. so then it was just an echochamber on twitter of "oh i heard this" "oh i heard that" without any actual proof. and, listen, as an advocate for survivors, I'm definitely not saying we shouldn't believe victims but I am saying that, maybe, we should also think a little more critically about where accusations are coming from.

Following this barrage of information, ATL then posted a very (fucking piss poor) statement about the whole thing (which, as a PR minor, is not a smart move, I'm just going to say that). which went as follows:

and this really bad statement just made the whole thing a lot worse. but, then, ATL said they were going to pursue legal action against the originator of "these false claims" and sue for defamation (which, yeah, smart legal move but also looks really bad to the public eye). of course, this never actually came to fruition because... the twitter account had already deleted itself and was untraceable. so, at that point, the damage had been done, there was no proof to say they did or did not do these things, and that's just... how things go! so it's almost entirely up to the individual fan to decide if they want to believe the allegations or not. which is... a tough spot to be in. now, if we get into my personal perception of the situation, i think that All Time Low are creeps who acted creepy towards teenage girls during the early 2000s but... to be honest yall?? that's kind of how the 2000s were... and i don't want to excuse the behavior but I also don't think it's reflective of who ATL is now. And, additionally, these accusations didn't actually... affect their career at all in the long run? like, if you go look at their fucking Instagram, they're doing Fine lmfao. which makes it potentially even funnier that ashton is receiving death threats for supporting them.

that brings us to The Issue At Hand. which is that, because Ashton played All Time Low (an incredibly famous pop punk band with whom 5sos was friends with in their ~youth~ and who... all the other members of 5sos are literally still fucking friends with) at a DJ event, he's being "called out" and "cancelled" for supporting "rapists and pedophiles."

I'm now going to take this time to say that, whether or not the actual allegations against ATL are true, it does not make them pedophiles OR rapists because the allegations were over sexual HARASSMENT not actual rape. does that make the harassment okay? obviously not. but it doesn't make them PEDOPHILES????? and it is fucking batshit INSANE to me that twitter doesn't actually know the definition of that word and throws it around with such literal reckless abandon.

the real truth of the matter is that twitter is upset because it wants to be not because there is an actual reason to be. and all of the twitter users claiming they're so upset with ashton because they're trying to stand with victims of sexual abuse, do not fucking understand 1) what sexual abuse even IS and 2) what actually helps sexual abuse survivors and 3) have never fucking helped an actual survivor in real fucking life a day in their goddamn lives.

and that's the situation <3

#pigeon #anon #i love getting to yell about things!!#ok !!#i hope u r now <3 more informed <3 about the situation <3

Moonlight Chicken Liveblogging Ep 4-5

Ep 4

A glimpse of Wen's home life, cohabitating with an ex! I've been there in my 20s. Yep, it's awkward af.

They honestly depict that strain really well. The writing is so real it's dragging up old feelings from me.

Sigh. I can't make myself care too much about the nephew. He's not all wrong, he's a person with needs, but I'm just... These days I find I'm too old to connect with teen angst when everything is played straight & realistic and there is a fully developed adult character to empathize with.

I just cannot deal with a judgey teen throwing out, 'Is this truly your dream?' Oh shut it kid. You 'didn't ask to be born poor'? Well neither did he.

Thank goodness for step-uncle Wen.

The way that Jim can't ever make himself say there's no chance and he doesn't like Wen. But he can't allow himself to open up. The flashes to the happy days of his doomed marriage as Wen leans in yet again, causing Jim to shut him down again... The drama really makes me understand the why, even as it drives me to be increasingly deranged about it. (JUST KISSSSSS)

I really like that the script doesn't have Jim lie and claim he has no feelings for Wen etc like a lot of dramas do - he doesn't jerk Wen around at all or mislead him "for his own good'. He tries to be as up front as he's able. It's probably why as a viewer I never feel bad for Wen, like he's being mistreated. There is such kindness and consideration in the way they treat each other.

The favorite DVD is too old and doesn't work. It's a metaphor. Defeat the metaphor, babygirl! I believe in you.

They are terribly cute with the holiday decorations but Wen's messy ex drama finally culminates. This is not going to help Wen's campaign to win his dream man.

Ep 5

Man, this is scene of the cohabitating queer exes fighting about how they tried too quickly to make the transition from boyfriends to friends, because they both care but it's just giving confusing signals. Still living together is not helping. Written too believably, it's painful. When you loved someone for 5 years so you can't stop caring about them. But it's so tiring when the other person uses that caring against you.

Jim is giving babygirl the cold shoulder while nephew tries to hint that he likes this potential family member.

Noooooo i hate it when my parents are fighting. I get why Jim wants none of this messy business so idk :(

"I've always been like this. You just started not to like it." / "Why would you stay with someone who no longer loves you?" The co-habititating exes storyline still killing it. It's the tenderness beneath the bitterness.👌

Little nephew with the sweet deaf boyfriend, I get what you're saying but you let a teen who doesn't know how to ride a motorcycle.... ride a motorcycle. Which he promptly crashed and had to visit the ER. So maybe you aren't fully ready for responsibility just yet. 🤔 I'm too old for this shit, this is how Jess on Gilmore Girls made me grind my teeth.

Making me feel like

Interlude

just a little interlude. takes place right after I Can't

Masterlist

-----------------------------------

Mrs. Perez explained her plan to Jesse. The soonest she could get him out was tomorrow, meaning that, despite her promise, he would have to go back to the Bakeman house that night. She prayed that nothing would happen to him.

The poor boy scrunched his face up tight as she helped him out of Dale’s clothes and back into his own (now clean) clothes that he’d worn over. There was a bit more blood on the pants, but she hid it before he noticed.

“Did Brian do all of this?�� she asked nonchalantly.

Jesse shook his head, stepping into his own sweatpants. “No. He has… parties.”

Mrs. Perez’s stomach lurched. “Parties?”

He nodded. “Yeah. He invites over a lot of people and um, let’s them do… whatever.” He got quiet, staring at the floor.

“Is he having one tonight?”

“No. Probably not. It’s not usually two nights in a row.”

She’d have to trust him.

The Bakeman home was so close, but Jesse looked like he was minutes away from collapsing, so she helped him into her car.

Mrs. Perez had only been inside the Bakeman home one other time, after the break in. She sat Jesse on the couch, near where she first found him, unconscious and bleeding. She shouldn’t have waited until she saw him in the same state before she got him out.

“I’ll be here tomorrow evening, before he’s home. Do you have a bag you can pack some clothes and things in?” He nodded, eyes on the kitchen. “Don’t try to move a lot.”

He nodded again, swallowing. He reached up to his neck and spun around the collar. The skin underneath was red and chafed. He was heartbreaking.

“Jesse.” He looked at her with wet eyes. Someday his life wouldn’t make him cry. “You can do this.”

“I don’t know.”

“I do. And you can. Just one more day. And then it will all be better.”

-----------------------------------

As soon as Mrs. Perez closed the door behind herself, Jesse pushed himself up and headed to the kitchen.

The oven was off. He breathed a sigh of relief. His eyes swept the kitchen and found the knife on the ground. Jesse’s breath caught in his throat.

He had another choice. He made another choice.

Mr. Bakeman arrived home only a few minutes after Jesse cleaned and put the knife innocently back in it’s drawer. He’d be lying if he said he didn’t think about the blade slicing through his flesh again.

Mr. Bakeman said nothing, just sat at the island and watched Jesse shuffle gingerly around the kitchen, preparing his dinner. Jesse himself wasn’t hungry.

“How do you feel?”

Jesse jerked his head up from where he was washing the cutting board in the sink. The pork chops were sizzling away in a pan, asparagus in the oven and potatoes boiling. Jesse doused the board in soap and scrubbed all the spices away. He didn’t want them to attract ants, and then the ants would crawl into Harper’s ears as she slept and eat away at her eyes. Or something like that.

“I’m okay,” Jesse said in a hushed tone. He dragged his feet to the stovetop, flipping the meat.

Jesse flinched when Mr. Bakeman pushed back his chair and stomped over to him. The backhand was multiplied by ten because of Jesse’s sore body. His side crashed into the counter, and he cried out, gripping the countertop as hard as he could so he wouldn’t fall to the ground.

His owner gripped his chin with a harsh hand, jerking his head up so he had to look at him.

“I don’t appreciate being lied to. No one who screamed like you did is ‘okay’. So. How do you feel?” Mr. Bakeman pushed Jesse away, crossing his arms.

Jesse swallowed, taking a breath. “I hurt, Master. A lot, I hurt… really bad.”

Mr. Bakeman smirked. “Don’t lie again. Get me a scotch.”

Jesse rushed to obey, face stinging. He had to fight to get his breathing and tears under control. He had cried enough for one day.

“Did you scream and cry like that when it was my wife screwing you?”

Jesse closed his eyes, his expression a mask of pain. He handed his master his drink and went to turn off the oven and stove, taking out the finished food. “I don’t know.”

“Was it the serum or the --”

“I don’t --” Jesse closed his eyes, hoping he wouldn’t get another hit for interrupting. “I don’t know.”

Mr. Bakeman grunted, taking a drink. “We’ll just have to do both again and see, won’t we? Charity’s a good lover you know.”

Jesse swallowed, plating Mr. Bakeman’s food and setting it in front of him. “Do you need anything else Master?”

Mr. Bakeman picked at his food with his fork, taking another drink. He worked his jaw before shaking his head. “No. Get out of my face.”

Jesse left to the stairs, holding his breath and pausing intermittently, trying to breathe through the waves of pain that never seemed to end. In his room, he closed the door as much as he dared and then sat on his bed, letting himself sink into it and the tears fall down the side of his face.

He couldn’t keep --

Stop. Just. UGH just stop. Just stop thinking stop crying stop everything. Stop. Stop. STOP.

You’re too pathetic to end it so just. Stop.

If he didn’t think about it he wouldn’t fall into a pit. He would disappear. He only needed to get through tonight and tomorrow. Only one more day. One more day and he would never have to face Mr. Bakeman again.

Or his girls.

Jesse pushed himself up off the bed, standing on unsteady legs. There was a little notebook with sparkly stars that Eva gave him once when she decided it must be his birthday. Jesse held the little pen that came with it in his trembling hand, opening it past the first page where Eva had written “I love you Jesse!” with hearts all around it. Jesse steeled himself, allowing a sob to break through. Dear Abi, Eva, and Harper…

Random thoughts during Attack of the Clones:

*The second scene with all the Jedi in the Chancellors’ office is like a Clone Wars who’s who. Poor Barriss in the back of the room…brooding, being all angsty and gay. Her character was done hella dirty, but I have a theory on that which I may share later.

* Anakin’s attempts at flirting with women are painful. Ouch. Too bad this predates Ahsoka who could have absolutely given him pointers.

* I feel like Padme is disproportionately targeted by assassination attempts. I get she’s kind of outspoken, but holy f*^%, bounty hunters are trying to take her ass out constantly.

*I find it it creepy that Anakin was watching Padme sleep (or whatever). I would have covered the cameras if I were her as well.

* It’s pretty great that Obi-Wan catches Anakin’s lightsaber that Anakin dropped during a high-speed pursuit. Hella reflexes.

*”This weapon is your life.” -Obi-Wan when handing Anakin’s lightsaber back to him. This is a reoccurring theme, I feel. Fun Clone Wars fact: We see Jedi passing their weapons over to someone else twice in The Clone Wars series willingly: Once by Anakin who gives it to Padme. Once by Ahsoka who gives it to Barriss. Hmm.

* “Why do I get the feeling you’re going to be the death of me?”- Obi-Wan. Yikes with the foreboding.

*I appreciate the original Xbox graphics going on with that droid football game playing in the cantina. It really brings back some great memories of a time when playing games was so blocky and 32-bit.

* I like Dex. I bet the food in his diner is fire, but I bet the caf is awful. I’m also impressed that he knows about Kamino when no one else seems to at this point in the story.

* Attachments and possession is forbidden, but compassion is encouraged. I feel like attachment sort of comes with romance. Something about that chemical reaction in your brain that’s triggered… With that being said, Anakin interacting with Padmé is so, so awkward.

* “The day we stop believing democracy can work is the day we lose it.” - Queen Jamillia dropping gems of wisdom.

* Was this written by Incels? I mean, I’m really not clear how the “I don’t like sand” line somehow convinces Padmé to kiss Anakin for the first time, but maybe I need to start coming up with really, REALLY hokey lines to get girls to kiss me. I’ll let you know how it works out in the real world.

*RED FLAG ON THE FIELD. Anakin declares that he is a pro-dictatorial authoritarian fascist. She laughs it off like “he’s kidding”, and like, he legit says “I’d be much too frightened to tease a senator.” Baby girl. He’s problematic. You’re getting a sign that clearly is telling you to turn around, but you’re ignoring the signals.

*Fun Star Wars fact, those chunky tick-looking CGI animals that nearly trample Anakin in that awkward flirty scene are called Shaak (not to be confused with Shaak Ti, who is a hot, Togruta Jedi), and apparently, they’re tasty.

* Padmé seems to be very impressed by Anakin’s ability to float fruit around with the force. I can’t say I wouldn’t be turned on by someone just randomly wielding the force to impress me. Maybe.

* The scene between Anakin and Padmé where they’re discussing the kiss is a clear sign that he’s not going to be capable of letting go. The dark shadow cast across his face in this scene is kind of another foreboding moment too.

* Clones! Rex, Cody and Jesse are all down there some place preparing to go to war as Obi-Wan looks on.

* Slave One is a badass ship. That is all.

*I can’t help but wonder about Lars freeing, then marrying Shmi Skywalker. Did he do it out of the goodness of his heart? Was it a mutual thing? Or was Shmi originally purchased as his sex slave, and was she suffering from Stockholm syndrome? Why is my brain like this!?!

*Speaking of, Shmi’s death is tragic. Enter Vader.

*RED FLAG! RED FLAG!!! Holy blazes, Padme. Anakin just confessed to committing literal genocide by slaughtering an entire village of sand people. I’m pretty sure my instinct would be to roll out. That would be my cue. I mean, damn.

Anakin: I killed them. I killed them all. And not just the men, but the women and the children too. They’re like animals, and I slaughtered them like animals! I hate them!

Me: Well, would you look at the time!? Gotta go!

Not Padmé. No. She tries to reason with it. It’s human to be angry. No, not like THAT! My god, man!! Jedi have to keep that shit in check as they can literally crush people with the force. FFS. You’re in danger, girl. RUN!

*The Geonosians creep me out. Seriously. Bugs, but with brains that are capable of producing weapons of mass destruction. There is also their ceremonious way of executing prisoners (Ancient Roman style) Not to worry, I guess. This method won’t work with Jedi. They’re like force-wielding gladiators on speed. Their deadly animals will be beast-tricked and killed.

* Shaak Ti! I am such a sucker for a Togruta. Here’s my number, holo me.

* Mace Windu’s lightsaber wielding style really is bad ass. The way that he just effortlessly beheads Jango Fett is something else.

* Every time I see Kit Fisto, I’m reminded of how he started off as a tadpole.. and it makes me chuckle. Also, his grin is fantastic.

* The C3-PO puns during this battle. Classic. Peak droid in a Star Wars film.

* I can’t help but wonder what happened to Jango’s head when Boba lifts his helmet and puts it against his forehead? I didn’t want it to plop out, but it probably should have. Is it still wedged into the helmet? Is poor Boba going to have to fish it out later (because we know he keeps it)?

*Folks always getting their arms chopped off.

*The Dooku/ Yoda lightsaber battle is epic, and may be slightly underrated.

* Begun the Clone War has. Poor Bail is like, “Damn.” And, we end with Padme ignoring all the red flags. The galaxy will pay for your discretions. Roll credits.

CAN YOU DO ROBAIRE X READER HCS PLEASE !!! <3

Gen ;; Fluff - Headcanons

Warnings ;; None that I can think of :)

Proofread + edited ;; Lightly, twas but a quick skim so I probably missed a ton of mistakes but c'est la vie !!

Auth. Note ;; YES I CAN !! Sorry it's taken so long, I've had a surprising amount of major life events just appear out of nowhere recently !! Robaire is such a swoonable man this was so fun to write :D

Enjoy !! <3

✄┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈«

Robaire speaks French

We knew this

He's very proud of his fluency in French

It's one of his most well-known features

A fan favourite if you will

Robaire also likes to try and teach his non-speaking friends a few words and phrases every now and then

You like to tease him

It started when you were ordering in a restaurant and basically all the menu items were in French

Lord have mercy because there was this one dish you really wanted to try but that pronunciation ??

Get out, there was no way

You butchered it so bad even the people on the table next to you winced

Nosy fuckers

You'd like to think you're not the worse at French or pronouncing French words

But holy shit the letters and accents on that bitch...

HOW WERE YOU MEANT TO KNOW THAT THEY'RE SAID THAT WAY

THOSE LETTERS DON'T EVEN LOOK REAL

WHAT WAS THAT PRONUNCIATION !?!?

AND IT'S NOT SPELT THAT WAY AT ALL

ITS NOT YOU !! ITS THE FRENCH LANGUAGE AND THE FUCKERS WHO THOUGHT IT UP THAT ARE AT FAULT HERE !!

But there was an upside to this humiliating situation

Robaire had the most adorable twisted up expression as he watched you fumble

He looked like he wanted to just cut in and say it for you so badly

Poor baby

Now, in that moment there was no way you were going to have fun with it because holy fuck the embarrassment-

But looking back ??

That shit was so funny and you definitely use it against Robaire now

At first it was just any French word you spied that looked difficult to pronounce

Even if you actually could pronounce it you'd find a way to fuck it up

But after a while you started fucking up every single word

For funsies

Because Robaire puffs up like an uncomfortable baby bird

Aw he's so cute !!

I'm not talking a simple fumble or a small hiccup

No,, you butcher these words like your life depends on it

Not even bonjour is safe,, bitch !!

And it's not easy to act like even more of an idiot than you already are

It's bad enough that you fumble an embarrassing amount of words in your mother tongue

But seeing Ro choke back a laugh at your dramatics as he forces a disappointed facade makes it worth jt

The judgy stares though ??

Not your favourite part,, you have to admit

But who needs confidence when you have a Robaire

That man has enough ego for the both of you

And I don't mean Jesse type ego

No,, I mean that he is so proud of you and your achievements that you don't even need an ego

Robaire will happily be your cheerleader all day every day !!

Mans is literally on a mission to give you the biggest head in the world istg

There are compliments for everything-

Folding socks ?? You're so helpful and kind !!

Eating a snack ?? He's so proud that you're taking care of yourself !!

Breathing ?? Omg you're literally saving the planet by feeding the trees !! Can you be any more of an angel ??

He will never hold back a thought from you

If he thinks you look stunning he's gonna tell you that you look stunning

And, of course, you do !!

Likewise,, if Ro thinks there's something you could do to improve yourself he'll let you know

And he's so encouraging and kind about it,, he will never make you feel attacked or belittled

Ro believes in the criticism burger !!

A positive comment followed by constructive cristiscism followed by tips on how to improve upon weaker areas followed by a fuck ton more positive comments

Even when he's giving you advice Robaire will let you know how proud he is that you've gotten to the point that you're at

You will be told over and over again how excited he is to see you improve

Basically Ro genuinely gets invested in you and your hobbies and your life

He's interested in everything you've achieved and everything you hope to achieve in the future

He's proud of every improvement you've made in any aspect of your life and your commitment to continue the good progress in the future

He's also proud of you when you take breaks and time for yourself

Robaire is someone who believes in his partner

Solar Opposites in: Ultra Opposites Episode #9: “Losing Yourself” (by @avaveevo)

One fine night, another crystal orb, that is suddenly glowing both black and plum purple, flies to Daryl’s house where he is busy writing something down in his journal, writing about his daily life and how much he loves Yumyulack.

Daryl: What the?

Daryl notices the orb piece.

Daryl: What the fuck? An orb piece? suddenly notices some darkness in it The fuck?

Suddenly, the orb piece fuses with Daryl.

Daryl: feels something in his mind in pain Ugh! What’s happening to me?!

Then it cut to the next day at school. Human Yumyulack is worried about Daryl because he hasn’t shown up.

Human Yumyulack: Aw man, where is he?!

Human Jesse: What’s wrong bro?

Human Yumyulack: It’s Daryl. He didn’t show up yet and I’m worried.

Human Jesse: Yeesh. To be honest, I haven’t seen him in class either.

Human Yumyulack: You know what? It’s fine. He’s probably stuck in traffic or-

Suddenly, the two kids received a text from Korvo, which says. “TERRY RAN AWAY!”

Miss Frankie: Kids! What’s wrong?!

Human Jesse: It’s a message from Korvo. He says Terry ran away!

Miss Frankie: What?!

Principal Cooke: Oh my God!

Then it cut to the Solars’ house where Korvo is crying.

Korvo: crying Oh my God! Terry! My poor Terry! He must’ve be really scared! My poor sweetheart, where are you!

Janiz: What does the note say?

Korvo gives the note to Janiz. It says…

“My Beloved Korvy,

I’m sorry. But I have to leave! I need to find out how I am half mundane before I ended hurting other innocent people again! So, please don’t come looking for me! I don’t risk hurting you or the rest, just like I did with Frankie. I love you guys so much.

-Love, Terry”

Korvo: Oh, he must’ve still been feeling ashamed over what he did last week.

Korvo sniffs. Janiz hugs Korvo.

Korvo: Janiz, we have to go find him before he gets hurt. People might get scared by him, which will make him feel overwhelmed and lose control.

Janiz: Good idea.

Jesse and Yumyulack show up along with Miss Frankie and Principal Cooke.

Miss Frankie: Guys! We came as soon as we heard.

Korvo: Guys?! How did you get here so fast?

Principal Cooke: The kids shown us your text!

Korvo starts sobbing again.

Janiz: Really?

Yumyulack: Poor Terry…

Jesse: We gotta look for Terry!

Suddenly, the news turns on.

Miss Frankie: feeling remorseful Ugh! This is all my fault!

Jesse: How?

Miss Frankie: I made him hurt me! All because I wanted to get back to you guys… I let my awful beliefs get the best of me, and that really upsets Terry into scratching my eye… I made him feel like a monster, all because I had a bad life and took it out on you guys… why didn’t listen to you Korvo?

Korvo puts a hand on Miss Frankie’s shoulder.

Korvo: I know you didn’t mean to make Terry feel that way. Frankie, do you wanna know the main reason why I gave you a second chance? Because you never got the life you wanted and you didn’t mean to hurt us! You proven our trust by standing up for us. That’s why any brave person could’ve done.

Yumyulack: Guys, look! The news!

Korvo and Miss Frankie: Huh?

Cue the news report.

News Report: This is just in, a mysterious stranger, known as Dark Matter, is attacking the city and appears to have the same powers as one of the Ultra Opposites, Psylock!

Yumyulack looks closely at Dark Matter and recognizes him.

Yumyulack: gasp in horror and distraught Daryl?!

Jesse: There’s no way.

Yumyulack: I’m sorry Jesse. But it is him! I recognize that face anywhere. What happened to him?! You think an orb piece came but was tainted by something?!

Jesse: Probably!

Principal Cooke: We gotta go after him!

Korvo: Okay, then here’s the plan to beat. Cooke, Yumyulack, Jesse you three along with Randall go after Daryl! Janiz, Frankie, ASIHA, EVA and I will go find Terry.

Yumyulack: Okay. But I can’t fight him.

Korvo: I know. I’m afraid one of the orb pieces must’ve accidentally absorb some dark matter material making Daryl into someone he is not.

Yumyulack wipes away a tear.

Yumyulack: You’re right. But, we have to help Daryl, but we must away to remove the dark essence away before he is lost forever. Plus, he needs that stuff. It’s lifesource now, like us, but not the darkness essence. It might be poisoning him from the inside

Korvo: Okay. Let’s go kick ass!

All: Yeah!

The group transforms.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Come on guys, we got two lives to save!

We then cut to Dark Matter causing chaos.

Dark Matter: grunting because of the anger consume in him

Yumyulack/Psylock: DARYL!

Dark Matter looks at Psylock, Electra, Super Cooke and Ultra Man furiously as he growls with purple black eyes glowing.

Jesss/Electra: Uh, I don’t think that’s Daryl.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Who is this so-called Daryl? I am now Dark Matter!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Oh no…

Principal Cooke/Super Man: Shit. I think that poor boy’s lost it! We have to help before he gets himself hurt!

Jesse/Electra: You’re right! We can’t risk hurting Daryl!

Randall/Ultra Man: But I will!

Ultra Man flies up to Dark Matter.

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: annoyed Randall!

Randall/Ultra Man: Sorry. Got in the moment.

Super Cooke sighs in annoyance.

Randall/Ultra Man: On second, do you have a better plan Psylock?

Yumyulack/Psylock: I’ll talk to him.

Randall/Ultra Man: confused Really?

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: You sure that’s gonna work?

Yumyulack/Psylock: He’ll listen to me.

Jesse/Electra: Uh Yumyulack, I think you might you wanna duck!

Yumyulack/Psylock: What? Why?

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Boulder!

Psylock screams and flies out of the way. The other heroes duck while Ultra Man punches the boulder

Randall/Ultra Man: I wonder how the others are doing!

The scene cuts to a temple where Terry is at.

Terry: sigh Okay, time to find some answers… heads inside

Then, Legendary Super Shlorpian, Shadow Lady, Janiz, Pupa, AISHA, and EVA landed near the island.

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: You sure Terry is here on this island Janiz?

Janiz: The tracker never lies, sister.

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Touché.

Legendary Super Shlorpian notices a temple.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Wow. These temples look like the ones back on Shlorp. It must’ve inhabit here a long time ago during Shlorp. Most Shlorpians always build different temples on different planets.

EVA: It’s also super old.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Terry must be in there. We just follow him quietly because we don’t want him to see us and overwhelmed him more. He’s already feeling bad enough.

AISHA: Good idea!

The quintet heads inside the temple quietly. Then, it cuts back to Dark Matter uses mind waves that creates a shock that blows people away, but Psylock, Electra, Ultra Man and Super Cooke are still standing.

Randall/Ultra Man: Holy shit! He’s too strong!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: And too powerful! Psylock, if you love him and believe what are you doing is right, then you go out there and do your plan!

Psylock wipes away his tears.

Yumyulack/Psylock: You got it!

Psylock flies up to Dark Matter.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Babe! Stop!

Daryl/Dark Matter: YOU stop! I’m trying to bring you back to me!

Yumyulack/Psylock: What are you talking about?! This isn’t you! I know you’re in there somewhere Daryl!

Daryl/Dark Matter: STOP IT! I can't deal with one more stupid thing you lied to me about, okay?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Daryl...

Daryl/Dark Matter: I just want my BOYFRIEND BACK!!!

Dark Matter blasts Psylock away. Psylock however lands on his feet and bravely flies up to Dark Matter bravely, ready to use his mind reading powers

Yumyulack/Psylock: I’m so sorry about this.

Psylock uses his mind reading powers on Dark Matter, who screams in pain. But, then he sees good memories of him and Yumyulack and their friends and family as he shed tears. Then, the dark essence disappear a as the lifesource from the orb becomes much healthier. Dark Matter’s eyes turns back to normal as he and Psylock look lovingly into each other as they smile.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Hey.

Yumyulack/Psylock: Hey.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Babe, I am so sorry.

Yumyulack/Psylock: puts his fingers on Daryl’s lips seductively Shh… save your breath… smiles

Psylock chuckles and kisses Dark Matter on the lips as they moan lovingly.

Jesse/Electra: Yeah! Daryl’s back!

Randall/Ultra Man: Alright!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: Thank God!

Back at the temple, Terry looks around the place for Mundanes.

Terry: sees lava light Ah-ha!

Terry takes the lava light. Terry approaches the room with the lava light shown and gasp upon seeing drawings and artworks of Mundanes.

Terry: This is amazing…

He then sees his surname “WEARSPRADA” on the crest as he looks at it.

Terry: Holy shit…

Terry then sees the first Mundane gasp, because it looks like him.

Terry: The first Mundane… it looked like me…

Terry laughs.

Terry: There is no way that’s… oh…

As Terry looks around most of the Mundanes on the drawing looks like him as he becomes shock and terrified upon this discovery as he starts breathing in and out, he finally realized the most painful darkest secret of his family’s side… they’ve always been half Mundanes for years.

Terry: Holy. Shit.

Terry then looks at down at his fingers, that started turning black as he starts feeling the pain again.

Terry: moaning Okay. Let’s go.

But then, Terry drops to his knees in pain as he starts growing bigger and muscular and his skin finishes turning black. Terry couldn’t do anything. All he could do is break down into a sobbing mess as his clothes and shoes rip apart into pieces, begging for someone to help him and for the pain to go away as tears fall down like waterfalls from his eyes. But then he starts moaning in pleasure. But that couldn’t work. No. His sanity is now gone, as he cries out in pain and goes back to sobbing over the painful truth. Overwhelms and stressed out as his voice gets deeper, Terry begs for someone to help as he held his head. The quintet come in and see Terry transforming.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Oh no! We’re too late! He has started transforming!

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Holy shit! Not again!

Terry: screaming tearfully as the inside of his mouth starts glowing HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! PLEASE! I WANT THIS PAIN! TO STOP! breaks down in tears

Legendary Super Shlorpian runs up to Terry.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Sweetie! It’s okay I’m here! Just relax! Transform into Solar Flare!

Terry did, but it didn’t help heal him from his newfound painful transformation. All Solar Flare could do is cry as he lost his sanity.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: No…Terry…

Terry/Solar Flare: weeping Korvo…. help… me…

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: I’m here. I’m here. I’ll help you, okay?

But it was too late, Terry has finished turning his Mundane form as his eyes glow orange and roars as tears burst from his eyes.

Janiz: Oh no Terry!

AISHA: No! Terry!

EVA: No!

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: Uh oh…

Korvo/The Legendary Super Shlorpian: Terry?

Mundane Solar Flare roars. Then, Psylock hears the roars and gasp.

Daryl/Dark Matter: What is it babe?! What’s wrong?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Come with me.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Really? You guys want me, even after everything that has happened?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Of course. I love you, boo. kisses Dark Matter on the cheek

Jesse/Electra: Besides, it wasn’t your fault! It was the dark essence that tainted you! We still believe in you man!

Randall/Ultra Man: Yeah! You’re one of us now!

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: You got awesome moves there kiddo!

Dark Matter smiles.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Thanks guys. So, where we heading babe?

Yumyulack/Psylock: An island.

Jesse/Electra: Oh my God! The others must’ve found Terry! Come on!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Ultra Opposites, roll out!

Psylock, Electra, Dark Matter, Super Cooke and Ultra Man arrived in the caves and gasp upon seeing Solar Flare in his Mundane form.

Daryl/Dark Matter: Holy shit! Is tha your dad?!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Yeah. And I think he lost his mind!

Mundane Solar Flare snarls at Psylock and Electra.

Jesse/Electra: Terry! Don’t, it’s us! Your son and daughter! Jesse and Yumyulack!

Yumyulack/Psylock: We have to get you home! You’re losing your sanity!

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: I… NO! DON’T TAKE ME BACK THERE! I’LL ONLY HURT KORVO!

Legendary Super Shlorpian gasp upon hearing that, so does the rest.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Wh-what?!

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: If I hurt you like I hurt Frankie, I’d never forgive myself!

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady: to herself, quietly Oh Terry, what have I done to you?

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: God, I should just kill myself!

Yumyulack/Psylock: Oh no! He has been suicidal lately! That’s what those Shlorpians do as Mundanes. Once they feel suicidal, they become Mundanes! Janiz says!

Janiz: Terry, please! Snap out of it! You’re gonna lose yourself!

Legendary Super Shlorpian turns into his Super Shlorpian form and hugs Mundane Solar Flare.

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: Wh-what are you doing?

Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Showing you how much you mean to me.

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: starts crying B-but… I’m a monster… I hurt people…

Super Shlorpian Legendary Super Shlorpian rubs Mundane Solar Flare’s back gently.

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: sobbing hysterically

Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian Korvo: I know you won’t hurt me. I love you, Terald Wearsprada.

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: voice breaking through tears Y-you mean it? You still love me, even when I have dangerous monster form?

Super Shlorpian Legendary Super Shlorpian nods.

Mundane Terry/Solar Flare: But, I am so scared. What if I lose control? What if I lose myself again?

Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Because, I know you got this Terry. You were the best thing that has ever happen to me. You are still the Terry I know and love and always will be.

Jesse/Electra: We all will

Mundane Solar Flare smiles through his tears.

Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Now come here! kiss Mundane Solar Flare as they both moan

Miss Frankie/Shadow Lady, Principal Cooke/Super Cooke, Randall/Ultra Man and Janiz: Aaaww!

Yumyulack/Psylock, Jesse/Electra and Daryl/Dark Matter: Aw gross. Eew. Disgusting. Oh come on booo!

Mundane Solar Flare kisses his husband’s neck.

Super Shlorpian Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: moaning Oh yes oh…

As the two husbands makeout, Legendary Super Shlorpian and Solar Flare turn back into their normal Shlorpian selves.

Jesse/Electra: Should we do something?

As they finish making out, Korvo gasp in joy and hugs Solar Flare, overjoyed that he is back to normal.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Terry! You’re you! cries with happiness

Terry/Solar Flare: Yeah! I am! laughs

Yumyulack/Psylock and Jesse/Electra: Yay! sees Solar Flare naked Oooohh…. yeesh…

Principal Cooke/Super Cooke: So, should we go home now?

Terry/Solar Flare: Sure.

As the Gang head out of the cave, Solar Flare looks down remorseful.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: Terry, what’s wrong?

Solar Flare apologizes for losing his sanity

Terry/Solar Flare: I’m sorry I almost lost myself. And for running away. I just didn’t want hurt you or the kids.

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: You don’t have to apologize for anything. I forgive you.

Terry/Solar Flare: You mean it?

Korvo/Legendary Super Shlorpian: kiss Solar Flare on the cheek Of course I do. Welcome home sweetheart…

Legendary Super Shlorpian nods.

Terry/Solar Flare: Come here, you sexy slut!

After Legendary Super Shorpian and Solar Flare kiss, the heroes fly home. Later, that night, Yumyulack is texting Daryl until he sees a text from his saying, “Turn into Psylock and look out the window”. Yumyulack is confused but does it anyway. Then, Psylock opens the curtains and sees Daryl, who has turned into Dark Matter. Psylock opens the door and Dark Matter pulls him close and the two teenage superhero boyfriends embrace in a kiss.

Yumyulack/Psylock: What are you doing here?

Daryl/Dark Matter: Just here to see my darling hero, which is you. I love you my beloved Psylock…

Yumyulack/Psylock smiles in tears of joy. Then, the two boyfriend kiss again as the background becomes a black and purple night romantic background as the screen fades to black.

Thoughts While Watching Gilmore Girls- Season 1, Episode 21 (Love, Daisies, and Troubadors) Part THREE.

Please check out my pinned post for the rest of season 1 as well as part 1 & 2 of this season finale. We resume our regularly scheduled program, which is Buttzilla Forrester in the middle of a jealous rage, trying to manipulate RoryGil (who isn't even his girlfriend anymore, by the way).

I HATE IT when Rory apologizes to Dean like this and she's done literally nothing wrong! It's so sad. My feelings about later seasons Rory are...a mixed bag to say the least, but I will defend Season 1 Rory with all my might.

Gaslighting: to manipulate (someone) by psychological means into questioning their own sanity. Buttzilla: Your boyfriend's waiting. RoryGil: He's not my boyfriend, I hate him! Buttzilla: Whatever. Biggest fictional piece of shit on the planet. Literal dogshit stuck to the bottom of your shoe. RG: Dean, stop! Buttzilla: Why. RG, Pained and Unconvincing: Cause I love you, you idiot. You know there are literal people that find this exchange romantic? Not many,as The Dean Forrester fandom is small and they seem to know their place and not emerge from the shadows. But they exist. Uh oh. I hear corny music... it's happening...

Alexis is frozen solid. She is not moving. Her mouth isn't moving. Her hands are not moving. Her spine is stiff. I don't even need to post pics or gifs of her kissing Milo to compare the two, we've all seen them.

Easy there, JarPad! Release that poor girl from your kung-fu grip! Screen shots don't illustrate the frantic speed in which he is mashing his mouth against hers either. Oh no, now we're getting into the closeups. I'm so sorry for doing this. I hope you can forgive me.

She's a woman, not a lemon! Jesus christ! The vein in his neck is throbbing.

If you would like me to further ruin your Thanksgiving, imagine this following disturbing but absolutely true scenario: Rory and Dean sleep together. Dean refuses to go down on her, fucks her for 15 seconds, finishes and has this same stupid smile on his face, all "was it good for you baby?" and Rory's like "Sure, you did great, tiger." and he believes it. Also Lindsay. Poor Lindsay. #JusticeForLindsay Ugh. I survived. We all survived. Ya'll okay? Diet Logan witnesses this and puts down Rory's books, probably traumatized into being a better person, because I know I was close to promising I'd find Jesus if only that kiss would mercifully end. We cut to the Indepdence Inn and Michel and Kirk arguing because Max took Lorelai's "1,000 yellow daisies" suggestion very, very literally and the Inn is now filled with fucking flowers. Kirk Job: Flower delivery man. Lorelai stands there in stark silence admiring the daisies while Michel calls daisies "Pitiful little things, a notch up from weeds", which is also what I think of Dean Forrester. This relationship is going to LAST....! ...For about another four episodes. Max: I didn't propose to you because we were fighting. I proposed because I love you. Lorelai:

"Help. Me." MM: We're in a bad pattern Lorelai, and we have to break it. That's why you proposed to end an argument, got rejected, didn't have any discussion about it whatsoever like grown ups, pretended it didn't happen, took an off the cuff suggestion she gave you way too literally, then waited exactly one more day to propose a second time. Goes into a blathering Mediocre English Teacher Speech about how books just can't compare to real life blah blah blah. Look, in my occasional headcanon where Jess Mariano grows up to become an English teacher he would never be this fucking pretentious. Lorelai: "God you talk so good." To be fair, he doesn't exactly propose to her over the phone, he's all "think it over" but this thing with the daisies feels really manipulative. How the hell is she gonna say no now? Lorelai bursts into Luke's Diner. Luke: Ahhh, you made me spill. He said the same thing while he was fixing her porch rail.

Cute.

"I just got manipulated back into a shitty relationship wtih a shitty male!" "Me too Mom! Me too! This is so exciting!" Happy Thanksgiving!

#gilmore girls #lorelai gilmore #rory gilmore #denise rewatches gilmore girls #gilmore girls season 1 #love daisies and troubadors #luke danes #max medina #a thousand yellow daisies #kirk jobs

Ive read a lot of your opinions on Jesse and Nacho and I just don't agree with your, it's your opinion and its fine, but I have never found Jesse to be this big moral character. He is just as bad and flawed as Nacho, if not more. I don't think Nacho had to die as away of paying for his crimes (why should Jesse not have died too?) Nacho suffered every bit as much as Jesse and I personally think he deserves more sympathy then Jesse.

Circumstances:

First there is there circumstances. Its true that Nacho "got in with both eyes open", but so did Jesse and I'll argue that Nacho was almost doomed from the start while Jesse was not. Jesse is white and privileged. He comes from a wealthy, two parent home, in a nice neighborhood with parents who care about him. He is lazy and entitled and didn't apply himself in school, does drugs and got into the drug world to make easy money for himself so he can hang out playing video games and doing drugs all day with his friends instead of pursing higher education or a job.

I don't know everything about Nacho's childhood, but what we see gives us a pretty good idea. Nacho is a visible minority. The son of an emigrant, raised by a single parent, his Dad. His mother is presumably dead and has been for some time. His family is not wealthy and struggles. His Dad works hard to support them. There neighborhood looks poor and unsafe. Nacho probably grew up in poverty, most defiantly surrounded by the drug world and had many risk factors white privilege Jesse never had to face. His father even knows the Salamanca name, while Jesse's parents in their nice neighborhood are completely obvious to the drug world. Nacho presumably got caught up in the cartel world very young and while he mentions to his Dad that he's working for the cartel again, as if he could have got out, but didn't, this is likely a lie. He probably could never get out and was just lying to his father to spare him. He made a mistake and got in over his head, so did Jesse, but Nacho had a lot more risk factors while Jesse had everything going for him.

Motive/Relationships:

Nacho most likely had better motive then Jesse too. We see him spending his off time from the cartel working in his Dad's shop. I think it's safe to assume that Nacho was using some of his money to help his fathers business. He mentions his Aunt and mothers family in one episode, implying that his Father helps them out, his family really needs the money and this would be a big motivation to a poor kid to join the cartel. Nacho's family is really important to him, he does not seem to want money just for himself. In the begging of the series he drives a crummy van and still live with his father, only after their falling out does he buy the fancy car and house of the latter seasons, but they bring him no joy. His relationship with his father is really beautiful. He does everything to keep him safe. He loves his father and ends up dying for him in the end, he never seeks revenge for all the things that were done for him, instead he dies for love.

Jesse's relationship with his parents is pretty terrible. Everybody loves to demonize them (because poor victim Jesse) but Jesse is responsible for their poor relationship. His parents tried to help him and continuously beg him to change his life around. There's only so much they can do, and letting him go to suffer the consequences of his choices is really the best thing for him, but Jesse acts like they are somehow betraying him or that he is entailed to his Aunts house. There is no deep love and respect there like Nacho has for his dad. Jesse even scams them out of a the house. He also appears Jealous of his little brother.

Murders/crimes:

All though Nacho's involvement with cartel and the drug world him indirectly involved in peoples deaths (same for Jesse). He only ever directly killed two people, both of them in gun battles where is was either kill or be killed. Jesse's direct kills are much more horrible.

Jesse out right shoots a man in the face. Although he didn't want to kill Gale and was put in a position where he had to kill to save Walt and his own life he still pulls the trigger. It was even his fault in the first place, because Walt had to kill Gus's men to save Jesse after Jesse own stupid choices (stealing from Gus and planing on killing some of Gus's man). He is also directly responsible for Jane's death. Jesse (and the fandom) love to blame Walt for Jane's death (as well as all of Jesse's choices). The fact is, she was dead the moment Jesse got her back onto drugs. She was clean until she met him. Even if Walt didn't happen to break in and see her overdosing (choosing not to help) she would have still died. If not then, then another night. She was doomed the moment Jesse got her (a recovering drug addict) but onto drugs. Jesse was so mad when he found out Walt didn't preform CPR he tried to but Walt's house down which punishes his innocent family, but Jesse doesn't care about that.

Personal reason I like Nacho more:

Nacho is smart, cleaver, capable, quiet, soft spoken and very skilled. He often figures out when his is being tricked and is able to get himself out of deadly situations all on his own. His relationship with his dad is sweet, and sad. He loves and respects his Dad so much and would do anything to protect him. He knows his Dad is disappointed in him, but isn't mad or defensive. Everything he does is to protect him.

Jesse is whiny, loud, rude, disrespectful, lazy, entitled, privileged, immature, never takes responsibility, blames others, and is a poser. He is much harder to sympathize with on a second view of the series. He has no relationship with his family and often only thinks of himself. He feels sorry for himself a lot, while Nacho doesn't blame other for his situation.

Nacho is just as much deserving of sympathy and a good ending as Jesse was. Nacho did not deserve to die for his crimes any more then Jesse did. They both suffered and and were sorry for the life they chose. The BOTH deserved a second chance, and I hate that Nacho didn't get one or people think he needed to die to atone or whatever, but Jesse just got to drive away, evading the police and responsibility and his crimes. Jesse is NOT more moral then Nacho, just because he cries all the time, while Nacho hides his emotions better. Jesse is not a more MORAL character period.

Just my opinion. Sorry for the long rant, its been bugging me for some time.

You are entitled to your opinion! But no, I don’t agree with your take. I think it is pretty clear that the arc of Breaking Bad is that Walt loses his conscience and becomes pretty monstrous at the same time Jesse develops a conscience and grows from a jerk kid into a decent human being.

Reads to me like a lot of this take is based on Jesse at the beginning of his arc; IE he’s just some lazy teenager selling meth. But if you don’t agree that Walt manipulated him into doing things he didn’t want to, I don’t know what to tell you. I think it’s pretty clearly laid out in the show. As for a moral comparison between Nacho and Jesse, Jesse is repeatedly shown to worry for the safety of children while the first thing Nacho does is intentionally endanger children so he can rip off their parents.

It’s not that Nacho is an evil character though or that I think he “doesn’t deserve” a happy ending or whatever. Or that Jesse is meant to be a superhero. When people make comparisons like that, they are talking about how those characters are framed in the narrative. The thing is that Jesse’s character development is centered around his guilt and his desire to be better. He wants out, he wants to do something honest, he wants to make boxes (IE create something he can be proud of). He throws his money away and sees it as blood money. It’s simply not Nacho. Guilt for the people he has hurt in the cartel is not an aspect of Nacho’s character. I mean, absolutely there is an argument to be made that he probably is a victim of poverty and, how much of a choice to get into the game does someone in that situation have, and I think if Kim Wexler knew his story she would want him to have a good lawyer. But when I say Nacho got in with both eyes open, what I mean is, he knew fully well the kind of violence he would commit for money, and made his peace with it.

You say Nacho did everything for his father but I think you are missing the point. Nacho did fall down the rabbit hole by trying to kill Hector, which he did for his father, but he wasn’t the kind of person he was for his father. He didn’t live his lifestyle for his father. His father specifically says he got *back* with the cartel, suggesting he was out and went back to make money. Nacho had a heart and ultimately he was willing to make sacrifices for someone he loved—but he didn’t do it *all* for his father, that was his draw toward his humanity, and the fact that he had it made him more vulnerable. Better Call Saul is all about the moral stuff of the characters. About what makes someone “good” or “bad”. Nacho is a monkey wrench because he is bad in almost every way, but the good side of him is the thing that he suffers for in the end. He’s a great character, and I love how much empathy he generates. He gets to be in a morally superior position to both Gus and Hector because he is framed as a victim to them both. When people say it fits that his death was sacrificial, I don’t think that is a moral judgment of his character, like he was BAD and therefore should DIE; certainly not if I have said that. It’s about his role in a meta sense, it was narratively appropriate for his arc to end the way it did.

I do think you are extremely hard on Jesse as far as responsibility for what he’s done (I mean, blaming him for Jane’s death, really? That is a pretty cruel take) but it’s not that I think Jesse is supposed to be some innocent kitten either. It’s just that his character resolves in exactly the same of moral crisis that Nacho’s father has: this shit is horrible, I feel tainted by this, I need to go to the police. That is what Jesse does and the price he pays for it is to be sold out by the man he trusted was looking out for his best interests and literally enslaved to keep him in the game. That’s why it fits narratively for Jesse’s arc to resolve in freedom.

In the end I think something is lost by taking these two nuanced characters and just making some kind of evaluation of “who is more EVIL? Who DESERVES to DIE?” It’s just that they serve different roles in their respective narratives. Jesse is the main moral counterpoint to Walt, the main protagonist of his show. Nacho is a piece of his show’s complex moral jigsaw puzzle of Mike, Jimmy, Gus, Hector, Kim, Chuck, Howard, Lalo… and I think the takeaway from him is the way his conscience and love affected the trajectory of what was an otherwise pretty heartless existence. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul have some overlapping themes, but they are not the same, and the differing roles of Jesse and Nacho are, I think, evidence of that.
