never forget that off screen Skyler was sitting with Walt while he puked his brains out and sobbed in the bathroom during his cancer treatment, rubbing his back and singing to him until he could fall asleep and he still decided to do All That to her. there is nothing redeemable about that man I'm sorry

People say “phase” like impermanence means insignificance. Show me a permanent state of the self.

When we’re new to adulthood, it doesn’t immediately occur to all of us that you’re almost always allowed to leave a situation, because growing up we’re forced to stay in situations until someone dismisses us and/or takes us home, or if we do leave on our own accord there’s someone waiting at home to say “we don’t quit in this family!” Boring party? You can leave. You don’t like the lecture? You can walk out. New doctor not working out? You can end the appointment, you don’t need to wait for them to dismiss you. Bad date? You can just go home. Leaving a situation prematurely might have consequences, but unless you’re under arrest or serving prison time, it’s pretty much always allowed.

You ever hear that old chestnut about how most people neglect the part of the story of Icarus where he also had to avoid flying too low, lest the spray of the sea soak his feathers and cause him to fall and drown? You ever think about how different the world would be if Icarus died that way instead? If the idiom was to Fly To Close To The Sea? A warning against playing it far too safe, about not stretching your wings and soaring properly? You ever think about how Icarus died because he was happy?

I am a firm believer that jealousy is not a thing to be risen above or overcome. Listen to that shit. You WANT something. You feel UPSET about something. You want to advocate for yourself over others. you don't have to get over that. let it tell you what you are not getting enough of and ask for that shit and if you're still not getting it after doing so, you can put your foot down! You can have a fit, say that things aren't working, be an emotional wreck, beg for lots of reassurance, demand quality time, walk away from the relationship. You can be a jealous person!! It's literally okay! Own that shit. Some partners even find possessiveness or jealousy in a partner to be very endearing or attractive and it makes them feel wanted. It's okay to want shit. It's okay to need to be special. You are!!!

also while I'm talking about Walt - it is CRAZY how the narrative is intentionally set up to reveal that all the things Walt tells himself he is (a selfless provider, a hard working family man, someone who is incredibly competent at the work they do, a mastermind pulling the strings behind the scenes, etc) are all things that SKYLER ACTUALLY IS LOL. Like it's Skyler who goes back to work and immediately starts keeping the family afloat! It's Skyler who goes to incredible lengths to protect her children even when no one really understands why she's behaving that way. Skyler who humiliates herself time and time again just to keep secrets that aren't even hers from her innocent kids. Skyler who gets the car wash on their terms. Skyler who explains away Walt's secrecy to Marie with the gambling story all while Walt flounders and acts like a fool. Skyler White is such a fucking it girl to me honestly, a beautiful strong smart woman who genuinely loves her kids enough to let them keep a clean image of their father for as long as she can possibly hold onto it. I still think of her every single day lol

sometimes I have to wonder about what ppl on here would say about Walt if he was a hot sexy villain like some of the other problematic faves everyone here is obsessed with lmao. like would people try to make him into some kind of insanely nuanced sympathetic character to fetishize instead of clocking him for the heinous (but still three dimensional) abuser he is? How would people feel about waltjesse if Walt was a more chic, conventionally attractive well styled man instead of an aging suburban dad type? I think about this all the time bc I truly do dislike Walt but sometimes I feel like for such an insanely complicated character there is a serious lack of compelling character analysis about him! yes he's awful but I still feel like there is a LOT to say about him and his motivations that gets left out bc most ppl don't think he's attractive enough to warrant those discussions lol

So many of the pop girls want to be Lana del rey so badly but they can never quite copy her vibes because they do not have the amount of internalised misogyny that lana has which is required to write like an aging divorced white man who's poetry is mainly about his divorced bitch wife written from the perspective of the wife
