a/n: ty for the request!! i totally misread the prompt but i hope this is okay too 😭🫂

You weren't sure exactly how it happened, but you're very aware of it now.

One minute you're checking out Footloose for a rather bothersome customer, exchanging polite smiles and telling him to have a nice day. The next you're pinned against the backroom table and Steve Harrington is fucking you like it's the end of the world.

He'd been so standoffish earlier. Watching you as you and the customer had a back and forth. You'd noticed his stare, you always did. It was usually so warm and welcoming, his lips spreading into that boyish smile that always captured your heart. Yet he was standing behind the front counter with that deep frown and dark unsettled eyes for an hour. Watching the stranger as his fingers brushed over your arm, asking softly (and dumbly), "so is Dirty Dancing really worth all that hype?" And you with your opinionated self, scoffed and would retort, "of course it is, are you crazy?" and the asshole laughed. You'd noticed the dangerous glare Steve sent him the moment his laugh filled the store and you had grown nervous.

Steve was like the sun, intoxicating and warm, and he made you feel wanted. He could get you to commit a murder if he asked- which, of course, he wouldn't. But you would if he asked. Steve was like your Achilles heel. One foul swoop and you'd be on your knees begging, crying for relief.

So when you saw how unhappy he was, you gravitated to him like a magnet. You wanted to attach to his hip and never let go. You gave the customer your kind smile, murmured a "have a nice day." Then turned your attention to Steve. The man was running a hand through his hair and huffing, puffing as he broke his eyes from the customer and to you.

Deep dark eyes settled on you like they belonged there. Their home was on you. Like the sun rays that kissed the skin on a nice summer day.

The moment the door's bell jingled, Steve's lips were on your own in an instant. A hungry needy want captured the both of you, his tongue invading your mouth and marking his territory. You only responded with a moan and placed your hands on either side of his face, his fingers tangled in your hair. He filled your senses. He smelt like that honey cologne he used religiously, his tongue soothed the skin of your lower lip after nipping on it, his soft moans reaching your ears, his cheeks were warm and if you opened your eyes, you know they'd be tinted red. He always grew a red hue whenever you two kissed.

One of his hands untangled from your hair and trailed to cup your ass, groaning as your hips pressed flush against his erection. Things seemed to click into place at that moment, you pulled away with wide eyes and blinked up at your boyfriend. Steve let out a soft whimper at the sudden lack of contact

You pulled away, eyes immediately pulling to Steve's plump lips. They were such a pretty hue of pink. You cupped his cheek, thumb running over his glimmering bottom lip as you met his eye. They were blown to hell, the blacks of his eyes seeming o swallow the brown. His chest heaved and his hands clutched at your hips desperately to keep contact against his clothed cock.

"Why are you acting like a horndog?" You smiled teasingly at him. Steve just huffed softly, pressing a kiss against your cheek and dragging his lips to your ear, nibbling softly. You ran a hand through his hair, admiring the blonde highlights that captured in the neon Family Video light. "What's going on?"

Steve paused, pulling back slightly to stare down at you with something unfamiliar. It was like he was calculating his next moves, assessing where you both were. He suddenly clenched his jaw and cradled your jaw with one hand.

Suddenly, he spoke, "I want to fuck you."

You blinked, staring up at him. "What?"

Steve, who is usually one to fumble with his words and blush, always quick to be the shy one, leaned down so his lips ghosted yours. "I've been wanting to bend you over this counter for the last hour. I just-I want to fuck you until you're crying to cum on me." His voice was husky. It was similar to how he spoke in the morning, arm wrapped around your waist and lips lazily pressing kisses against your neck.

A flush of ecstatic butterflies fluttered in your chest and you could feel the heat pick up, your core aching for the familiar touch. "Jesus, Steve," You whispered, blinking dumbly at him.

Steve's confidence briefly faltered, brows upwards and the familiar red on his cheeks. "I'm sorry was-was that-- it was too much wasn't it? I'm sorry, baby. I thought it would've been hot- Aw, fuck!"

You pushed him back against the counter, hand going between your bodies to stroke him through his jeans. His hands came back to your hips, fingers created indents on your skin as he grinded against your hand. Despite his cool exterior, you could feel his heart raging against his chest, his fingers twitching at your sides, and he completely leaned into your touch.

You placed a sloppy kiss against his jaw, listening to his breath hitch and felt him quiver. "Tell me what you want to do to me, baby. Please?" You pathetically begged him.

Steve closed his eyes, clenching his jaw as you placed a particular hard palm against the head of his cock. "Your dress is so fucking hot," he bunched up the floral fabric in his hands for emphasis, barely caring if your ass was exposed to whoever dared to walk in. "Been thinking about your pussy all day. Tasting you, feeling you wrapped around me while I fuck you so good- I want to fuck you until you forget your own name. 'Wanna to watch my cum drip out of you. Fuuuck, Y/n, I want you so bad."

Your tongue came out to wet your lip before you pulled back. He whined at the loss, opening his eyes with a heaving chest and quivering legs. You were half tempted to torture him a bit before leaving him a mess in his pants. It'd happened before and you'd been the lucky gal who got to lick it up, then return to work. However, you were too focused on the way your walls to even begin to devise a way for him to be pleading with you to cum.

You wanted to be the one quivering, whimpering, and aching once he was done with you.

Steve swore softly as he palmed his cock, closing his eyes and silently praying. He probably thought you were done- you two had only done it twice in the store and it'd only ever been slow nights. You both had sworn on avoiding getting caught by innocent children or a pervy Kieth. The mere thought was probably enough for Steve's boner to drop. But something about today had him wanting you right now. Almost wishing someone would walk in and see him fucking you.

That's why, when you reached for his hand and started to drag him towards the back room, he released a relieved and giddy laugh. Almost like a child on Christmas, he took long strides to the back with you. The door slamming as you were pressed against it.

And that's how you both ended up there, the desk rattling as Steve's harsh and quick thrusts met your hips. You were bent over the desk, panties pushed to the side and pussy making lewd sounds as Steve's cock pushed in and out of you. You were loud as Steve piston out of you, one hand wrapped in your hair and pulling as he sped up, the other cradled one of your cheeks. Your hands were splayed over the edge, gripping the weathered wood as the head of his cock brushed the spongy spot that made angels sing and your heart flutter.

"Fuck, you're so good," Steve breathed, tugging at your hair after you moaned in response. "You take my cock so well, baby. You just swallow me whole. 's like you're made for me. Just mine."

If you were surprised by the sudden change in Steve's demeanor today, you were surely surprised when he brought his free hand down on your ass. A resounding slap echoed in the small room, both of your moans accompanying it.

"Jesus, Steve," You cried, leaning back to meet his thrusts, trying to chase the tightening ball in your stomach. "Fuck, I-I'm so close."

Steve let out a breathy laugh, his hand soothing the red mark on your ass as he continued to fuck you from behind. He could feel the way your walls clenched around his cock that you were about to come undone. He licked his lips and let go of your hair to move to your hips in a grip that'd definitely leave bruises.

"You're mine, right?" Steve said through his teeth, landing a sharp thrust that hit you in the right spot. It left you dumbfounded, jaw hanging and eyes closed. You couldn't even begin to process what your boyfriend said. Rather focused on the fact that he was about to send you to heaven without dying. "Y/n?"

The softness of his tone was drastically different from his actions, but it still caught your attention. You did your best to glance over your shoulder, finding a terribly vulnerable look on your boyfriend's face. "Steve....?" You asked in a breathy moan.

He slowed his pace, panting but not completely letting go. "Say your mine." It wasn't a question anymore, but a demand.

It flushed over you, the tingling feeling. "I'm yours, Steve. Always have been, always will be." You reached back and grabbed his hand and squeezed.

Steve seemed to hesitate before he moved your hands, pinning it back to the desk and delivering a hard thrust. His other hand came to your clit and he rolled his fingers in time with his thrusts, pushing you closer to your edge before- "I'm yours too."

And you practically cried tears of joy when you came. Pure bliss grabbed ahold of your body. You gripped Steve's hand, unaware of his eyes twinkling in wonder at your face contorted into complete euphoria. You fell completely against the top of the desk, panting and whimpering as Steve tried to finish himself off. Your walls squeezing and releasing, so sensitive over his aching cock as his thrusts grew sloppy. He landed one last thrust before you heard him moan and cry as he came too. His cock twitched in you as it milked itself in your pussy, leaving traces of him deep in you.

It was a few moments of silence. Just panting breath and soothing thumb circling over your hand before Steve pulled out.

Both of you whimpered softly at the suddenly empty feeling. Steve paused to admire his work. Your ass was red from where he'd landed a slap, your pussy was pulsing and- jesus you were absolutely leaking with him cum dripping from you like you were a broken faucet. He tried to take his mind off of the sight of you overfilled with his cum before he got hard again. He stuffed himself back into his jeans, then collected a few tissues from the desk.

You laid there, closed eyes, and soft breaths as he gently wiped away his cum from your skin. You bit your lower lip at the sensitivity of that area, but turned you attention back to what Steve had asked you.

"Steve, did you fuck me in the middle of our shift because you were jealous?" Your question was blunt, but you figured you guys were far enough in your relationship to be such.

Steve faltered before he started to shyly return to his task. His wipes more timid as his face definitely heated up. "He was rubbing up against you and asking you stupid questions. I do that. You're supposed to laugh at my stupid questions, not his." You let out a breathy laugh as Steve came to a pause, looking up at you as you turned around. "It's stupid, isn't it? Over nothing. I'm sorry-"

You leaned down and kissed his lips. It was soft and tender, like a lover that was definitely trying to get their point across. It was different from earlier. No longer panicked and rushed. You pulled back and Steve's eyes remained closed as you stared at him with adoration twinkling in your eyes.

"It's a little stupid. I mean, c'mon, Harrington. You really think I'm gonna pass up on you just because a bimbo guy doesn't know Dirty Dancing?" Steve's eyes cracked open and his lips spread into a small smile. You couldn't help the way your heart gave a small pitter pat at the sight. He looked so pretty. But you saw that shadow of doubt in his eyes and your heart broke.

Your hands came to cradle his face, forcing him to stare at you head on. "I'm undoubtedly and incredibly in love with you, Steve. Nothing's going to change that." You pressed a kiss to the tip of his nose and stood.

Steve tilted his head. "Okay, but what if he comes back with Footloose and asks where Baby is?" He asked dumbly.

You laughed, eyes crinkled as you adjusted your dress. "Then I'll tell him he can ask my beautiful, intelligent, and very buff boyfriend about that, hm?"

"I can definitely get behind that."

kuroko’s basketball is one of my favorite animes. ive been watching it since my freshmen year. and still plan on doing it through college. it’s just the best: I don’t know. I’d forever admit that it’s not like the greatest anime, of course not, and people complain it’s unrealistic .. but like yeah of course it is. 😭

and also it’s inconsistent— which yeah that’s true. ive read around that people don’t like kuroko? but i adore him and relate to him. I struggle with the feeling of invisibility. I felt unseen through my freshmen year. and then in my junior year. like j was hardly there.

now I’m a senior, and it feels like I’ve grown. I’ve become seen and made a mark on people— even if it’s mainly my teachers.

I didn’t feel like my presence was felt and that no one would notice a thing about me. but I’m a pain in the ass and my determination is wild.

I didn’t really care for friends during my junior year and focused so much on my schooo work. people just know me for how much I study and my grades. which ykw, fine. valid. bc I put in a lot of effort into school bc academic validation. I’m not the type to slack off.

I had my own Kuroko moment, with him getting back up off the bench during the rakuzan match and not giving up. but mine was in a more academic setting.

Aka ap physics. my personal hell 😍. A class where I didn’t understand a thing; where I felt like I was gonna fail and ruin my gpa. and that j was gonna fail the ap exam, therefore making me waste money bc man that shit is expensive.

but then thinbd changed. we took a mock exam for one of our final tests and yours truly got a 4. miraculously amirite. I worked my ass off.

and I didn’t give up even when I got burnt out. I always have one class I struggle with. and physics was my rakuzan. and me, me of all people managed to pass with a four.

when that surely seemed shocking because I was definitely not one of the smartest at all. but hey I defeated my own rakuzan.

You just found out the man of your so called dreams has been sleeping with your best friend behind your back, even after you gave her a home to stay in after leaving her abusive and toxic ex I- Urban are you fuckin Fr? NOT WORTH BREAKIN UP?!?’ He CHEATIN on her with her “BEST FRIEND”Fake stupid hoe IN HER OWN HOUSE!! Ohh hell naw, FUCK HIM, FUCK HER & FUCK YOU!! FUCK ALL YALL MOTHAFUCKAS GOT ME ALLL THE WAY FUCKED TO THE UP!! HE LUCKY WE AINT WHOOPIN HIS ASS RN!! But he got what’s coming to him AND SO DOES THAT HOE!! 🖕🏽🖕🏽

Jack looked up at you in sorrow and defeat he knew he had just lost the best thing he ever had. Boyyy ain’t nobody got fuckin pity for your raggedy ass tf 🤨 at least you know YOU FUMBLED THE FUCKIN BAG!!

“Now you know I’d never say anything like that I just wanna make sure we’ll still have our time together.” No yo ass js don’t wanna get caught 😒

“Miya is a baddie that’s what and you get to see that fine piece of ass walking around your house for free. I’m very jealous of you.” I- are you fuckin dumb?? He’s gotta a girlfriend WHO HE IS ENGAGED TO!! Tf u mean you jealous?!? Urb you on my list, I’m whoop yo ass first to get yo WHACK WEAK ASS OUT THE WAY!!

“That’s exactly what I’m saying.” Jack knew thinking about the possibility of cheating on you was wrong but he’d be lying if it he said he didn’t glance at Miya’s chest or ass whenever she was around and now that he was thinking about it Miya did give him flirty eyes a few times ARE. YOU. MOTHAFUCKIN. KIDDING. ME?? THESE BITCH RLLY ARE MENTAL!! With they ass lookin like they eat mayonnaise straight outta the container. Lookin like near death experience’s give them a new meaning in life. Lookin like they throw up 🤙🏻 when they see a cute girl in the store. Like are y’all fuckin middle school boys OR GROWN ASS MEN?!? Cause I rlly cant fucking tell!!

“Yeah, I’ll see you later Jack but remember what I said! Two is better then one.” Urban snickered before leaving the house leaving a wondering Jack all alone in his thoughts. JACKMAN You rlly gon listen to the man WHO HAS NO BITCHES?!

and blushed when he noticed Miya laughing from behind you.😒😐🤨

“Oh hey Mia or I mean Miya yeah hey Miya.” He spoke nervously making her chuckle. This bitch has noooo fucking game! How the shit did he get away wit CHEATIN 🤨 and howwww the actual fuck did his ass bag YN?!

“You know I’m not stupid Jack, I know you want me just as bad as I want you.” She whispered in his ear and ran her tongue across his earlobe. YOU ARE A REAL DIRTY ASS FUCKIN BITCH!! And I just know yo pussy stank Fr 😷

[m1ckeyb3rry]

Yuki’s LN was actually a sob story omg THE DOG WAS SO CUTEEE omg I hope he adopts a dog someday in the future bro did NOT think that scuffle through but omg just shows how selfless he is…

LMAOO FR!! I mean if I really had to rank then yeah I TECHNICALLY have a fav but if you really asked me to choose between faves I probably wouldn’t be able to still even though some are technically ranked “higher” than others

No because Rin giving old vibes /hj in a different way than Aiku LMAOO wait I would pay to see Barou captain that’d be really funny “YOU DONKEYS GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!!!!!”

Oh yeah I’ve not dipped my toes in AoT at all so that makes sense LOL

LMAOOOO OMG DO IT (imagine a double date but in the end y/n talks more to his sister and yuki than to him LMFAO)

No definitely as I went back and did the formal translation he was 6 and the sister should’ve been 9 by their description of her being 3 years older so?? Not even double digits (BRUH THE REO ONE IS DIABOLICAL??? WDYM A GROWN ASS ADULT WAS CONFESSING TO BASICALLY A LIKE 7 YEAR OLD HSHDSHSHSH)

GRAND AGE OF SIX AT 5K WORDS ok so if we do the math…. 2k at 4, 5k at 6, 3k word difference per 2 years, 1.5k words per year. Assuming this ends up at 20 year old Karasu that means we still have 14 years to go. 14 x 1.5k is 21k. Therefore, the new ballpark is now 21k /j (if this math is wrong um…no it isn’t!!! /j) im assuming we wouldn’t be seeing every single year in between so this is probably a bit overboard anyways LOL

No wait I love seeing childhood moments because they’re honestly so important for shaping who someone turns out to be?? OOHUU IM LOVING IT “I only see you as a child” angst progression

Nagi does NOT see the sun bro needs some vitamin d for his pasty ass…/j but FR I’m devouring these Karasu crumbs also I’ve noticed Otoya’s hair has been slightly more silver leaning! I’m pretty certain it’s still supposed to be relatively white, but typically in digital art using like pure white usually isn’t as great because it leaves less possibilities in terms of lighting and coloring so that might be why..? The version of him in the game also isn’t like pure white white so I’m wondering if that’s the case (also mixed with the sort of darker kinda color tone of s2) so I don’t think it’d be wrong to refer to it to white still! The (little) merch floating around of him also has his hair basically white so. No because not even a SLIVER of his hairline like yeah I know it’s my man’s chin but would it kill you to show his face?? No fr I was wondering why Otoya too….like I know that Karasu is more popular than him…and also Hiori too?? I’m hoping that just means we’re getting a cracked trailer with a full screen of Karasu’s face next time

The more I read the more I was like did they just craft the perfect man??? I loved the scene with the dog so much it was too cute like wdym his first practice buddy was a dog??? That was a rollercoaster and honestly probably one of my favorite LNs…I really like how they show the progression of his characters and actually kinda dig into his painful moments?? I think I need to reread everyone’s atp omg

-Karasu anon

I JUST FINISHED READING THE CHAPTERS YOU SENT IN OMG I’M BAWLING 😭 he’s so sweet fr…omg i hope he gets to retire and be happy one day with a dog and a family he truly deserves it

exactly like i have my top five but it’s always changing HAHAH there’s a couple mainstays but i’m so easily convinced to start liking new characters especially in shows like bllk which have such big casts that it’s inevitable you’ll be able to have a bunch of favs

aiku gives like uncle old vibes rin gives like cousin old vibes LMAOO that makes no sense but like aiku is just your weird uncle whereas rin is the cool cranky older cousin that you admire but all of the adult relatives hate because he has an attitude

aot is…something 😭 idk i was very very into it for a while and i really do appreciate and love the majority of it but i’m not a huge fan of how the ending was handled (not for the typical reasons people complain abt it i just think that some characters were let off too easily for what they did) and the fan base is INSANE. like peak no media literacy/critical thinking twelve year olds saying the craziest shit because they don’t realize that the actions of certain characters are meant to be condemned and not supported!! so i’ve drifted away from it now for the most part…a lot of the writing skills i have now i developed through trial and error with my aot fics though so i’ll always be grateful for that but i look back at it more as a fond memory/w nostalgia than anything

OKAYYY yayoyuki is now canon 🫡 (i named karasu’s sister yayoi hehe idk it just flowed well w tabito?? like yayoi and tabito sound like sibling names the same way seiko and eita do in my mind) actually lowkey i feel like that could kinda help the plot…the reader being like “wait why is your bf younger than you he’s literally your brother’s friend” and yayoi is like “bro it’s barely two years it’s not that deep” which makes reader be like “hmm…”

THE REO ONE IS INSANE. MY MAN IS A VICTIM AND NOBODY GAF?? ig it was supposed to show that people tend to value him for his money to the point that his teacher tried to get w him ostensibly because he’s a corporate heir…like narratively it makes sense but that should NOT have just been an egoist bible tidbit that was never expanded on?? iirc it’s not even mentioned in his light novel but that is so traumatic omg poor boy 😭

he’s still six and we’re at 6k words now if you want to adjust your estimate KDJISJ i am so scared of this fic i can just tell it’s going to be so long…we’re going to see karasu go from 4 to abt 20 and reader from 6 to abt 22 BYE why did i ever think i could fit all of that into “6-9k words” i’m not even going to bother w reestimating atp just going to go w the flow and see what happens…should i withhold the wc updates so you can be surprised when i finally post or do you want to be prepared going into it 🤔

pretty much all of the story is their “childhood” though ofc it progresses and they get older and older…icl i have no idea how to write kids so there’s going to have to be some suspension of disbelief going on 😭 YESS the angst and pining (from karasu naturally) are so real!! i think it makes sense on both ends because on the one hand yeah two years isn’t a huge deal esp once you’re older but on the other it’s like…karasu this girl has seen you throw tantrums because your sister wouldn’t play w you why WOULD she find you attractive 😩

ENOUGH LMAOOO no but that’s def the reason because he’s paler than every other character and for sure it’s because he doesn’t touch grass 😓 i think it’s definitely more silver compared to like nagi’s hair but still very light/almost white!! maybe more of a cool/gray toned white versus nagi’s which leans towards cream/straight up show white most of the time!! and yeah ik in animation pure black and pure white tend to fall flat which is why a lot of black haired characters end up having greenish hair when animated!!

YKW I WOULD’VE BEEN HAPPY W THE ICONIC SMIRK AHHH like it would’ve made him seem a little villainous if we only saw the lower half of his face and it’s just him smirking but those in the know realize it’s just the karasu signature 😔🙏🏻 sassy smirk + fuck ass hair WE NEEDED ONE OF THE TWO and wait omg i forgot abt hiori (and nanase) maybe they’re trying to keep the more relevant characters secret and just using characters anime-onlies would recognize in the trailer (so like igaguri’s irrelevant ass) still doesn’t explain why otoya and kurona made it instead of the bambi osaka boys but uh maybe they were just easier to animate?? or maybe they went w otoya because he’s very distinctive (aka doesn’t have dark hair and blue eyes) so he stood out more than karasu might (i bet some people would’ve been like “why did zantetsu take off his glasses” or smth abt karasu lowkey)

NO LITERALLY yukimiya invented being the ideal guy nobody in bllk can compare…actually let’s just go ahead and say nobody in shounen can compare 😫 he was truly meant to be a shoujo male lead more than any other bllk character 😭 i agree i think the ln did such a good job at showing his progress and why he is the way he is!! his backstory is also super realistic too 💔 like the whole medical trauma thing…i hope he and chigiri don’t get the boot from the main cast because of their health issues i love both of them sm 😓 i rlly liked this ln too!! especially compared to hiori’s and nagi’s which are the two i’ve reread the most for fic purposes the tone felt a bit more serious and mature (considering half of hiori’s is him stalking karasu and 99% of nagi’s is him slacking off in school this makes sense) i’m excited to see how barou’s is!! and also aryu’s lol maybe i’ll be more into him after reading his backstory or smth

A collection of things I've noticed and wanted to highlight during the airing of the final season. Put below a cut for potentially upsetting topics and S6 spoilers.

Okay so, organizing this by character—

Kim being terrified of talking to Jimmy when he calls her. Like. Actually scared of how egotistical he is and how much of a risk even listening to him puts her in.

Kim trying to live a genuinely normal life (partner, involved with neighbors, etc.)

See also: Said partner not being into their devil’s tango and just “yeup. yeup. yeup.” while banging Kim.

See also also: “ I don’t know what kind of life you’re living but it can’t be worth much ”

Kim returning to ABQ and the courthouse and offering to come forward.

KIM TELLING CHERYL EVERYTHING TO TURN HERSELF IN.

Kim sobbing on the bus… unable to hold it back and just breaking down… Oh my god I cried. She’s so traumatized from everything and now she has to relive it all.

The fact the way she served the divorce papers means that Kim has tried to petition for a divorce for months, if not years, and he literally danced circles around it until she came to his office in person to re-sign it and make him sign.

See also: Him interrupting her every question he asks to intimidate her and guilt her.

See also also: “ Have a nice life, Kim :) ” and, once again, jabbing at her to make her feel bad for an autonomous decision.

Jesse and Kim smoking outside of Saul’s office… Him asking about how good Saul is… Kim just “ When I knew him, he was. ”

LIFE PLUS 190 YEARS… Holy shit. And the offer?? 30 years??? That’s golden. AND THEN MANAGING TO GO EVEN FURTHER TO 85 TO 90 MONTHS?? TO 7.5 YEARS???

“Quantum mechanics? We’re discussing that now?? Stay in your lane!”

Kim’s dress and sneakers combo >>>

Kim volunteering at a legal counsel service 🥺😭 She wants to help people again…

Kim attending Saul’s trial as a part of the audience… Wanting to see one last time what he’s willing to do/if he can do the right thing.

KIM’S FACE WHEN HE ADMITS HIS FAULTS… JUST 😨 BECAUSE SHE’S NEVER HEARD HIM SO HONEST BEFORE

KIM REACTING TO SAUL ACTUALLY DEFENDING HER… THE FACT SHE’S SURPRISED OVER IT. A LOT TO UNPACK THERE.

The fact Kim conned her way into federal prison to visit his sorry ass.

When you,,, when,,,, visiting and the,, the cigarette,,,, sharing one last moment,,, Kim walking away for that last time and leaving him to face the consequences for God knows how many years

And then thinking about all of this in retrospect, the idea that Kim is so willing to do everything for Jimmy during the events in which everything happens (and how much she's grown to be able to pull off that last con of sneaking in before finally turning her back).

Like, thinking back to the apartment scene with Lalo, Jimmy (for several reasons summed up as his own cowardice and quick thinking) made her into a sacrificial lamb in the apartment scene.

He told Lalo that KIM was capable of murdering the target (re: Gus, most likely unknown to the duo given the limited extent of their interactions with Lalo). He convinced Lalo to let HER go carry out the hit, knowing that:

If he left Kim with Lalo, he could have killed her.

If he let Kim carry out the hit, she could die (presumably known but still a possibility considering what they do know about Lalo), go to the police, or run away entirely.

And, in the whim of the moment, he was right. Kim WAS capable of it because it gave her the possibility of saving Jimmy. Kim has literally said herself that she has and is willing to drop everything for this man:

“ Jimmy! I have been on your side since the day we met! Who comes running when you call? Who cleans up your messes? I have a job, but I drop everything for you. Every single time. You confess to a felony on tape, I’m there. You have a bar hearing, I represent you. Over and over again, if you need me, I’m there. ”

And it’s just… It’s amazing. It’s true! And I think a lot of her reasoning, aside from trying to see the good in everyone, is because she’s so used to this kind of stuff.

We don’t see a lot of her mother, but from the flashbacks we have, Mrs. Wexler and Jimmy (or rather, his sleazy persona, Saul) are effectively two sides of the same coin. She was raised by someone like Jimmy so, to an extent, there’s that internal justification of the things he does. It’s an illustrative case of how vital of a role parent modeling plays within the family dynamic.

Going to apply some of my own academics into this unintentional rambling, but I’ll try to keep it brief.

Modeling is the presentation and observation of behaviors, whether desired or undesired. Children often look to their parents most for what they should and should not do, and while not understanding the nuances of the behaviors, they are conscious enough to understand the responses to behaviors (e.g., punishment or reward).

A common phenomenon among parents is unintentionally modeling behaviors they do not want to see with their children, aka behaviors that are counterproductive to the desired family dynamic. This can happen for a number of reasons, but two common ones are:

Transmitting unremedied problems onto the children

Influencing them negatively through lifestyle practices, they can hardly help but pick up on (and uncritically follow)

Think of the expression “Do as I say, not as I do”. It’s an age-old expression parents use to justify their behaviors while attempting to dissuade their children from doing the same. Unfortunately, it’s about as effective as slapping a bandaid on a severed limb. This is mostly due to the fact people tend to pick up on nonverbal communication so much more than verbal communication. Simple gestures can change the meaning of conversations, after all.

And I think the relationship between Kim and her mother showcases that concept perfectly.

The flashback where Kim is caught stealing the earrings is a great example, though we do also get that verbal encouragement after the fact, as Mrs. Wexler used Kim as a distraction to steal the other set of earrings. We hear Mrs. Wexler chastise Kim in front of the store’s manager, saying how she’d be much better off in the hands of the police because she’s that mad. Yet her body language there is fairly relaxed. A trained eye, such as Kim’s (as she knows her mother best), can tell it’s a farce. And so even at that moment, Kim is observing that what she’s done is okay because her mother is affirming that physically.

And even though that’s just one instance, from what Kim recalls in brief conversations, that was commonplace. So throughout her peak developmental years, she was shown that these behaviors are okay so long as there is a benefit. As long as the reward outweighs the risk (which is a whole other topic I could lecture on). And, almost consistently, that’s been the case with Jimmy.

He alters legal documents (a serious felony charge), Chuck gets booted out of the firm and gets Kim back on her feet.

He gets involved with the cartel, Kim and him get enough money for whatever troubles they’re having.

He offhandedly proposes sabotaging Howard to get the settlement money, Kim affirms that and everything goes to plan (well, almost. RIP Howard).

But now, through the confrontation with Lalo and Howard’s death, there’s that realization that the risk is getting too high. That the reward isn’t going to be worth the effort. However, so much work has been put in (both in terms of the acts and the relationship with Jimmy) that I think this is being justified by Kim as something she’s put so much into. 

That, at this point, she will get the reward because the reward now is her life. Jimmy’s life. And that’s something that she’ll take (or would have taken) all avenues to protect.

Thinking about how… real Mike is when it comes to things. Thorough, too.

Like the whole thing with Matty’s death. How he deliberately made himself appear violently intoxicated to goad the other officers into attempting to kill him because he let on he knew the truth.

He pulled from as much experience as he could to perfect the act. He stumbled. He slurred. He uncovered an entire (presumably sealed) investigation and undid the work of an entire police department in the span of… what? A couple of days? A few weeks?

And on top of that, he gave them the slip. He unloaded their service weapons so that he would be the one to walk away. He knew how to stage the scene to keep the police off him for years. How to clean up after himself and leave hardly a trace.

And just in general. Just…

Thinking about his mindset of the justice system and how he believes it could be a good thing. But he sees it’s so corrupt at this point that he believes he’s hardly doing different work when working with the cartel. He knows corruption from first-hand experience. He’s seen how awful it can be. How it tears people apart.

RE: Mike saying that if he had the chance, he’d go back in time to the day he took his first bribe to avoid going down the corrupt cop path. (Which brings up the contrast between Mike’s mentality and Saul’s. Mike being so earnest and getting to see just who Saul is.)

I think my favorite quote of his is:

“ You know what happened. Question is, can you live with? ”

Because that’s just his whole mindset at the end of the day. Bad things happen. You do them; you see them. It’s up to you, and only you, what you do with that information. It’s how you use that information. Do you use it to your advantage? To do the right thing?

Idk… I just think that’s fucking neat. I think these characters are so fucking neat.
