i know this is basic shit but at the start of jesse and jane’s relationship like when things are settled and good before they do drugs the lighting in jesse’s apartment is light and warm.

compared to when they both do drugs together for the first time during their relationship, and most of the scenes after that. it’s so dark and contrasted which kinda just shows the effect of drugs on their relationship cuz that’s when stuff went to shit basically!! thought it was cool to point out because obviously lighting is very effective.

I’ve Never Watched Breaking Bad Before, Here Are My Thoughts (2x01-2x04)

I know that this fandom is split into team “Walt was always like that” and team “the circumstances of the show made Walt like that” and I’m not even halfway through Season 2 yet but I fall firmly into the former category. There’s just something about the way he interacts with the main cast now that tells you he’s been itching to act like this for years, and being Heisenberg has finally given him the excuse to drop the pathetic act

That scene in 2x01 between Skyler and Walt was very difficult to watch, I knew it wasn’t going to get worse thanks to spoilers but I was tense all the same. And yeah, he’s a great character, but that turned me against Walt as a person for what I’m led to believe will be the rest of the show.

I’m still going back and forth on how I feel about Hank

Flynn is very quickly rising in the list of my favorites. He’s a smart, sweet kid who deserved a lot better than what he’s got so far.

Is Skyler just going to be pregnant like…the whole show or something

Also I feel worse and worse for Jesse every time he pops up on screen. I was rooting for him to hit Walt when he finally did.

Hector Salamanca is a supportive uncle who won’t tell on Jesse? I have no choice but to stan

I honestly thought Tuco was going to last a lot longer than he did. But if he was what TV Tropes would call the “Disc-One Final Boss” then I’m a little scared to see what’s in store for Walt and Jesse…

Again, Skyler can do practically no wrong

This show just keeps getting better and better and more addictive. I can’t wait to see more!

Do you guys remember when Walt tried to manipulate Jesse abt the money by saying "Your making a mistake--" but before he could finish, instead of slamming the door in his face, Jane grabbed the bag of money from Jesse and just fucking WHAMS it over Walt's head with all of her Entire strength, and he fell down the steps and she just kept going WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM WHAM with the bag until he was laying on the ground and crying and sobbing and shaking and then she kicked him and yelled "LEAVE JESSE ALONE. FOR GOOD...BITCH." and then turned around grabbed jesse by the hand and went back inside and they lived happily ever after and Walt never talked to Jesse again? Remember that?

”I trust that they’ll find me.” what a line, what a fucking line. riz never trusts anyone, it’s his whole thing, being a paranoid lil bitch. he’s the detective and he’s the one who finds clues. but while alone in Hell, he trusts that whatever happens to him his friends will find him. that’s the greatest compliment he could have given to them.

One of the things I wish for in Season 2 is more scenes of Vander and Vi together as flashbacks and how he was training her. Honestly, I think this would be an excellent helper to the story when Vander returns as WarWick. And so does Vi when she realizes it's Vander.

Still processing the Tech stuff, but this tidbit won’t leave my brain so I have to post it.

Echo doesn’t enjoy solitude. Yet here is he is, choosing to be alone so he can grieve yet another fallen brother. I’m sick.

“Good. And now, what shall we use to conduct this beautiful current with? What one particular element comes to mind?” “Wire!” BREAKING BAD— 02x09 “4 Days Out”

[kylejsugarman]

there should've been an episode of breaking bad where jesse turned off his cell phone and got into bed under a thick, cozy comforter and peacefully slept for several hours uninterrupted

In another universe, Jane didn't OD, and she went to Yale, met Rory Gilmore and got a degree in acting.

Louis' "You're boring!" Could mean so many things, but I think what's most apparent about that line is that Armand takes no initiative just for himself. He's not really anybody, because he never goes out and finds himself or gets attached to anyone but Louis. Without Louis as his guide he's literally just sitting on a couch picking lint! That's the thing.

He orbits constantly around what would make Louis happy, and never really fully going what would make me happy? Ultimately that drive to please Louis is what drives him to torturing Daniel, not so much that he'd care to just do it. Ultimately, not giving proper care to Louis is just a way to make sure Louis knows he has to orbit around him as well, with shoving Lestat onto him just that other nail on the coffin. So, even if he fails to figure out how to make Louis happy with him, he still knows what Armand is good for, and better than.

That dependency is what drives Armand's abuse. It really just comes down to that. Armand doesn't even realize how suffocated he is by his own dependency. This is just how life is to him. (It shouldn't be lost either that dependency is a theme considering this episode also deals with addiction).

Daniel's fascinating because he's just so driven to be somebody. He's largely independent, he seeks things because he wants them. It's his drug to poke and prod at all the things that he shouldn't. Daniel's exciting because he lets Louis in to something different, lets him in to all this potential in another person that he can also do the same with for himself. It's a real connection. A two way street. It's easy to tell how Armand can be smothering then because he's never introducing him to anything really new, and most the ways both of them connect are all painful and traumatic. It's never just fun because there's always that layer of that pain. Fun died with Claudia.

50 years on they've gotten to a lot better place, both of them, but it's still that same shit. No seriously, "How is this any different from last time, Louis?"

Well... Because Armand's going to be, at the very least, making one [1] decision only for himself - and that's to hold power over Daniel's life. Fucking sick foreshadowing.

They aren't driving each other to the brink anymore but "The vampire is bored" STILL. Maybe it's even worse, despite being in better places, because Louis' sort of just been defeated by it. (I mean, can he even really leave this either?). He's accepting the dependancy cause he kind of has to. He'd literally ended up letting all the enjoyment be up where he can't reach [The book shelves]. Armand so desperately wants Louis happiness but what really ends up happening is that Louis ends up having to give Armand all his own. He's got no one or anything else to get it from. But like an iPad and an over the top eating ritual. Two extremes of what's just more lint picking.

This whole relationship is one I find just tragic inside and out. You have to just pity it, really. There's ways in which you can find yourself feeling bad for both of them. But you can only really be mad at Armand for any of it. Armand, who isn't even 'free' in any sense, having so little concept of his own independence, but is at the same time so controlling over other's. It's a tragic cycle. It's an infuriating one.

Louis at least has the mind to know when enough is enough. If just needing that extra push to get there. Armand's too scared of it being over to even try.
