[savannahoc882]

[richeeduvie]

could you please write about princesas baby shower (or even a birthday party) and Lalo (or nacho I’m not picky) decides to invite Jesse bc he was the closest friend to princesa in ABQ??? PLZ I BEG 🦶✨✨💕💕😗

"This is...it's a nice place - big, gotta be happy, dude."

Jesse's got his hands in his pockets, or on his head. He's fucking scared shitless. What's he gonna say or do that won't get her fucking...guy off his ass. He doesn't even know why Lalo invited him to her baby shower in the first place, but Jesse wasn't gonna say no. Fuck that, man.

"Thank you for com-"

"You think for someone who only knows one language, you'd be better with words."

Princesa rubs her bump, Jesse tries to smile something normal, but he can feel his eyes...scared shitless. Fuck, why isn't he better with words? But who gives a shit? Why is Lalo jumping on everything he says?

How can Jesse not show she's not terrified to move?

"When's the party coming?"

"This is the party."

Lalo, Jesse, Nacho, and Princesa - the crew around the house. Barn.

"...Oh, okay - private matters. You're uh...sleek with it. Like that."

Lalo stares. Princesa closes her eyes and takes a breath.

"You weren't his partner in English class too. Hm, Princesa? What would that say about you? But ah, the big man might come over. My cousins will stop by. A Salamanca's gotta start off life with presents."

"What about your friends?"

Princesa's half-smile drops. She sniffles and smooths her dress over her bump with a fix of her collar. Lalo keeps his smile straight.

"I didn't mea-"

"No. No - it's just been...I've been so busy that making friends got out of the way. You know I've always been like that."

Jesse nods. He's gonna be agreeable this entire night.

"Yeah."

"Yeah."

Nacho follows Princesa and shuts his eyes softly. It's like a sigh on it's own.

The three that make up the small, but expensive baby shower are confused all the way down as to why Lalo invited Jesse, because the entire party is just made up of jabs at everything the guy does, says. At best, Jesse's just ignored or cut off when Lalo wants to say something.

"Princesa, come here."

And he can barely get a word in with Princesa before Lalo pulls her away. Sometimes it's to tell her about...something. But the lot of it is just Lalo making it a need to rub her stomach or give her the tenth or fifteenth gift of the day.

Jesse rubs his neck.

"How do you deal with that, man?"

Nacho's finger on the glass stills. He'll have to play to be nice, there's no reason to play it cold. Other than the fact he doesn't want to.

"The way you've been dealing with it."

Princesa's eyes flicker to Nacho and Jesse at the counter. She didn't think to want Jesse at her Baby shower, but she enjoys him here. Even if Lalo doesn't, which is hard for her - because she can tell he doesn't like him and she never wants to be in disagreement with the most handsome man she's ever seen, the man who quietly coos at her belly.

So, she asks a question.

"Can we have him over sometimes? Today was fun."

Lalo slows in his kisses and coos. He looks up and Princesa isn't scared yet, it's very casual.

"You don't want anybody else around the house. Not him, Princesa. I thought to invite the guy cause he was your friend...but I can't have someone who wears those kinds of pants putting things in your head."

Princesa sputters, head down. "But-"

"Don't tell me you'd be proud if Bebito turned out like Jesse Pinkett."

She swallows. She doesn't know the answer, but Princesa isn't gonna figure it out if it'd hurt Jesse.

"Pinkman."

"Uh-huh. But you know."

Princesa blinks. She does, she puts her hand through Lalo's soft, slight curls.

Lalo doesn't miss the head jolt of Jesse when he turns his head. He could roll his damn eyes, but he smiles instead.

"That kid is gonna come out scary as shit."

"Even with her?"

Nacho's not paying attention to his own words, otherwise, he would never have said that. Jesse tries not to turn back to look at her.

"No, whatever - fifty-fifty?"

"...Yeah."

So I was thinking about something...when I was in Albuquerque, hanging out with ABQ homie, he commented on something I said.

We were driving late at night, he was driving my rental car, we see, some breaking bad mural, so.he pulled over so I could take a picture. I got out of the car but before I got out I go, please don't ditch me here. He goes, that sounds like some old trauma.

He's not wrong. I have been in that kind of situation a few times.

I was also thinking..I really liked ABQ homie, but maybe I like him.so much because he was like a decent fucking dude?

Like soooooooooo many guys I have met are not decent. It's not like I have the bar very high either, but all most do is fail me.

So when I meet one guy who is decent it's like whoa? Is this what things are supposed to feel.like and be like???

Lesson Learned Again To Read Everyfuckingthing

So last month, after being ok’d for a car refinance at Nusenda Credit union here in ABQ, I went in to see if the remainder of the Wells Fargo credit card debt I paid off with that could be transferred over to a Nusenda CC.

Fucking dumbass that I am, I did NOT thoroughly read all the paperwork as the guy with Jude on his nametag told me I’d been approved for a 3K credit line and the transfer.

He even asked for my WF credit card to get the account number off it and I was thrilled that I could stop banking with Wells Fargo entirely and have everything at one CU.

Well. Turns out what I signed off on was a $500 credit line, because that’s all my income allows for with their underwriters, and there was never going to be that transfer he supposedly took my WF card number for.

I went in today to ask about why the transfer had never happened and why, when I logged in to pay my first CC bill with them I saw I only had a $500 line and got to feel like a right idiot because it’s just my word against their professional shark that he’d verbally told me the one thing while having me sign for the other thing.

Like. I am very low income, and have a lot of debt. Not wanting to give me a credit card is fucking fair, even with my good credit score.

LYING TO ME about giving me a credit card is a fucking shit move. Making me feel like my word or sanity is being doubted also sucks.

I am fucking tempted to see if I can find some other CU and leave Nusenda except goddammit I took out that car refinance with them and I’ll then be having accounts and dealing with THREE different institutions if a new CU won’t take over the Nusenda loan.

But yeah. My bad for trusting my ears and the friendly dude who said he was in a Beatles cover band, when he told me what I was signing and not reading every goddamn line closely.

[doctorjohcoy]

i know gus dies and how he dies but listen, listen. shut up

im ignoring it and thinking blissfully abt an au where just after jesse goes to mexico, mr white trips and breaks his domepiece on a parking lot concrete logstop and everyone else gets on with their lives

[5raysofsunshine]

I hope everyone's past 24 hours are going better than mine hahahahaha fml ✌

Venting below

Last night I was supposed to return home after spending four days visiting my best friend in Albuquerque, NM. My flight from ABQ to Salt Lake City was decent, had a 2 hour layover, then boarded the plane to fly home to Fresno. We back out 50 feet and then stopped, we are parked for over 15 minutes when our pilot comes out and says my hometown airport was closed due to intense fog and was not taking anymore incoming flights. So we were stuck in SLC for the night. Got a hotel for me and the girl I sat next to, we stuck together all morning today. They delayed our rescheduled flight at least 3 times and everyone was angry and frustrated and tired. I stayed calm and didn't have an anxiety attack THE WHOLE 15 HOURS that I was stuck in SLC (and I am VERY proud of myself). Then finally we get on the plane and fly home. As soon as my dad picks me up from the airport I can tell something is wrong because he's in casual clothes and not work clothes. Apparently my mom hasn't been feeling good since she took a fall last week and YESTERDAY she was VOMITTING BLOOD and NOBODY FUCKING TOLD ME because I was in Albuquerque!!! Dad said I had to watch my brother so he could take my mom to the ER to get imaging done. But first we had to go to work (I work for my dad) and fill out insurance paperwork that apparently needed to get done TODAY, so I powered through that the best I could. Then we rushed home and my mom didn't want to go to the ER but my dad made her and I stayed home with my brother. Of course my dad couldn't stay with my mom while she was in the ER so he came back home. He got fixated on some other paperwork we had to fill out for my stock which I know nothing about since it was a gift to me when I was born by my great grandfather. I was finally starting to crash and got extremely overwhelmed and I just started crying at the table. Dad told me to go to my room. Am still crying and it's been twenty minutes. Haven't heard anything from my mom and I am sooo not okay, my dudes. 🙃🙃🙃

[steveharrington]

what are your top 10 fav breaking bad episodes?

10. Bug (4x09) 

this episode has TOO many iconic moments. skyler scamming the IRS by pretending to be dumb, gus walking toward the bullets, mike telling walter to shut the fuck up and leave jesse alone, jesse having dinner with gus, and then the Ultimate moment where jesse beats walter the fuck up and pulls the “can you walk? good :) then get the fuck out of my house :)” card GOD the whole episode is like the start of jesse’s realization that he should trust mike and gus more than walter and it feels so good to watch

9. Shotgun (4x05)

after a whole season of watching jesse in a deep depression it’s such a relief to reach this episode. the COMEDY of the start where walter storms into los pollos with a GUN and the music is so intense and hes like WHERES GUS FRING WHERE IS HE WHAT HAS HE DONE WITH JESSE and then on the phone jesse is just like “im fine” like god its literally unbeatable. it’s obviously the beginning of mike and jesse’s relationship, plus on another level the beginning of gus and jesse’s Real relationship because it signals the first time gus begins to trust him. PLUS provided us with the iconic you are not the guy youre not capable of being the guy i had a guy but now i dont you. are not. the guy. 

8. Dead Freight (5x05)

i know everyone says dead freight but dude.......it’s such a fantastic episode from start to finish! it’s such a weird combination of like, drama thriller but also sitcom hilarity? because obviously the stakes are really high and you know that if they get caught they’re going to prison like, forever, and also jesse could have straight up got run over by a train but at the same time it’s hilarious? i also love the emphasis on jesse being a problem solver at this point in the show and being able to accomplish things that even walt and mike can’t necessarily do without him. the last 60 seconds..........well we dont have to talk about that

7. Rabid Dog (5x12)

okay originally i wasn’t going to put any 5b eps on here, not because they aren’t amazing but because they aren’t exactly the kind of thing i can put on in the background and rewatch yknow? but rabid dog is so amazing because its FINALLY the point where jesse is done with walter. like it’s the final severance between them and just watching walter’s panic grow throughout the episode as he realizes that it’s going to end with one of them dying but not being able to accept that is just ... fantastic. it summarizes the complexity of their dynamic so succinctly for a single episode

6. Peekaboo (2x06)

obviously a quintessential jesse episode deserves a spot on the list. everyone is always like “this is the episode where i fell in love with jesse!!!!” and like personally i was already in love with him but yeah this episode confirmed it. it’s the first episode in the Jesse Loves Kids saga obviously and it presents the conflict he feels over like, the secondhand guilt he feels over supplying the product that puts the kid in his shitty living situation but also the knowledge that he’s trapped now. when he goes back into the house for the kid and tells him to close his eyes it’s like.......a compromise that jesse holds onto for the rest of the series. he knows he’s doing bad things but he tries to find ways to make them even a little better

5. 4 Days Out (2x09)

bottle episode #1 baby! one of the earliest episodes that is entirely dedicated to walter and jesse’s dynamic and it’s just.....classic brba. cooking in the RV out in the desert baby! jesse being dumb! walter being an asshole! ah wiiiiiiiiiiire! it’s such a good like.....foundation episode. it’s one of those episodes that you rewatch after finishing the series and you’re like “god everything has changed so much” and honestly if someone wanted to watch like One episode of breaking bad to get the gist of the whole show i would probably suggest 4 days out

4. Sunset (3x06)

another literal classic and also the first episode i watched with my mom hehe so it has a special place in my heart. in some ways it’s a very tragic episode because watching the RV get destroyed literally made me cry, but it’s so thrilling and exciting and it sets up the conflict between hank and jesse which is honestly a fav. i honestly don’t even have that much to say about it i just......love this episode it’s so rewatchable. and this is my own private domicile and i will not be harassed bitch!

3. Full Measure (3x13)

remember when Bill Hader was like “you know the end of an episode of TV that makes you gasp and wait all week for the next episode, well breaking bad has those moments constantly throughout the entire 60 minutes” THIS is the kind of episode that applies to! the battle and shifting power between gus and walter is obviously center stage but ultimately it comes down to jesse. the shot in the arcade where jesse is sitting alone and there’s the single red light GOD LETS GET INTO BREAKING BAD COLOR THEORY BABY! the episode is just so ..... dramatic and intense but artful and careful and ultimately it contains arguably the biggest moment for jesse’s character arc in the whole series

2. ABQ (2x13)

okay not to be a demon but i love this episode endlessly. i wish i could just combine it with Pheonix but i cant so ultimately i choose this one (despite it not having the water on mars conversation) it’s clearly like one of the saddest in the entire series especially for jesse but it’s so good. the introduction of mike automatically makes it memorable but the scene of jesse and walter in the crack den is burned forever into my memory its just so.....haunting. and in this episode i can FEEL myself being manipulated by walter. like i JUST watched him let jane die and i still catch myself watching ABQ and going “aw he’s talking jesse down.....he’s holding him........he’s taking him to rehab........” and that’s exactly what walter DOES to people and to catch him doing it to YOU is insane 

1. Fly (3x10)

taylor u literally knew this was coming sdkfjsdfkj yeah i think this is the greatest episode in the whole show ok! ozymandias whom! yeah it’s another bottle episode but i think it’s better than 4 days out in accomplishing the ultimate goal of a bottle episode which, to me, is putting the characters together in isolation for so long that eventually their boundaries fall down. i mean obviously the concussion and drugs are part of the reason that walter starts getting so open with jesse, but the fact that they’re enclosed in the lab until walter can accomplish a meaningless goal that’s borne from paranoia just makes the conversations they have that much more meaningful. i know a lot of people don’t like this episode because its “boring” but to me, when i watch tv shows, i ACHE for even one of the single moments that this entire episode is comprised of. the fact that vince was like “okay and now let’s dedicate an entire episode to this lingering guilt that walter feels over killing jesse’s girlfriend an entire season ago and that’s the whole thing” is so bold but also so admirable because he’s truly giving something so huge (jane’s death) the attention it deserves where most shows would just sort of drop it to make room for more plot. im literally rambling but it’s just a perfect balance of what we know, what walter knows, and what jesse knows which are all conflicting and battling. “it’s not coming down, it’s staying up there forever” like ARE YOU KIDDING ME

[whimsically-ominously-auspice]

My advice

If that was my post i would organize

I dont need someone just talking about what they think I did wrong. That's not helpful and a bad way to focus yourself.

If you hold the ball woth your right palm facing you because that makes your arm stronger faster dont let someoen tell you its wrong.,or maybe because yo7 had your arm broke.

Focusing on them saying you're wrong will make you forget you're holding it a certain way to stregthen faster or to avoid certain ligaments but interacting other muscles around,those mints.

Then i would ignore the bitches i talked to and myself actually --- I know what im doing and,why

Now know I didnt read all th3 comments just like some

The one listing step by step I feel was like taking control and saying here. Could he be a KKK member lying to hurt him? Yes! Absolutely! I just didnt get that feeling. I felt he was here is a hand out to help you up.

So thetes some fit abq what ever... I would look at all the profiles of posters, ass holes i would make ugly judging faces to and ignore,their shit

Nice people i would click on stuff and see whats up.

I would do my research on Insta, okay so theres a guy saying HOW, some other dudes that work out so check out some videos,,posts.

Then i would Google how to do it correctly.

And of course i would talk to my trainer about what i found.

Even if I was on a Dr advised exercises, i would still consider other things

Because maybe I been on these awhile.

Maybe im bored

Maybe I'm curious.

And after that. I would do what i felt i should.then i would sit down and map what i felt on a diagram of a human body's muscles.

I would,make sure i was maxing my workout to include all muscles that i could do at once and Feel,no pain.

I wish i could work out

But all my joints are,trashed. So I. Can't.

But i have. That's why i know i can't.

I dont diet because I dont want to.

But yeah. Bigots. Ass holes, bossy bitches. They dont need my time and they don't deserve my time.

So thats how i would handle it. And only if i had time!!! If i didnt have time. Fuck them.

Only I can live my life.

[myswordhandtwitches]

So hey if you need a handyman in Albuquerque....
