okay wait, adding @thesundanceghost 's tags because . . . . . .
if we're gonna talk about this as a thesis statement we should also mention:
i’m dying help
#i mean as much as walt fucked over his own family and ultimately got himself killed#he still died pretty satisfied because of his ^^^#(*this)#like i know the ultimate thesis of both shows is all about transformation#but i think it's also important to remember one of the major conduits for transformation in this show#is characters realizing their moral codes are superseded by their desires#you just gotta do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life!#. . . but also i'm interested in thinking about all this in terms of nacho#i think your right that he's good at surviving (i think he may get sooome satisfaction of staying a half step ahead of the salamancas)#but he's not good at this cartel shit (see: hector having to prompt him to take care of domingo when he was short on the count)#he's good enough to make everyone think he's good (tuco and lalo and eladio and probably even gus)#but it doesn't really come naturally to him#not like scamming comes naturally to jimmy and kim#what scares me is that besides 'ripping off thieves'#we haven't really seen anything else for him that he's good at and enjoys#cause think about jesse#that anecdote about the woodworking in kafkaesque (am i thinking of the right episode?)#was so important for his story because when he escapes the meth nazis in the finale#(the meth nazis but more importantly walter's influence)#we know there's more out there for him#there's a different life for him just waiting for him to reach it#but what else does nacho have?#he loves his dad and likes to make him smile#but papa varga has mentioned a couple of times wanting to a-z upholstery to him#(*to leave)#and nacho seems to have little interest in that#(not to mention that disgusting scene where he was working at the shop and sewed right into his hand)#in fact he probably joined the cartel because he wanted more out of life than his dad had#i'd be genuinely shocked if nacho died because vince and peter seem to care too much about comeuppance and nacho is too good-hearted#but he also can't survive just for the sake of surviving
