#I think he really hated Jimmy because Jimmy inflicted suffering to feel alive himself while Swansea just thought it was an inevitable thing

[dykedvonte]

Swansea waited till the end to do something about Jimmy and I really think it says something about their shared nihilism.

Jimmy waits till the end to do something and take an ounce of responsibility and he still doesn’t do the the right thing. Swansea reflects and realizes he can’t fix his fuck up but he realizes it. I think it goes ignored that Swansea likely found out he assaulted Anya, when he spoke to her but he still waited. She still knew he wouldn’t protect her and he wasn’t a friend of Jimmy’s. Swansea’s a fatalist and likely assumed there was nothing to be done because they’d all inevitably die. Though he only realized when Anya and Daisuke died that they didn’t have to die in pain.

Jimmy and him shared the view that pain is how you know you’re still alive, but his shifted into understanding that pain should not be the natural state in which the end is the release.
