Peter walked back and forth while others watched him pityingly. Finally Rocket said, “Can you calm down?” Peter shot a glare at him.
“How do you expect me to be calm when the woman I love is in a date with a man right now!” Rocket sighed.
“You know, you can be happy about her since she may have finally found her love?” Peter felt like a hammer crushed his skull. He knew that Rocket is a little menace but he didn’t expect that low blow from him of all about this. “Don’t look at me like that. Bucky is a good man and Nebula and him deserves a little love in their life.” Peter was about say something but suddenly the door opened and Nebula come in.
“Welcome Nebula!” said Mantis happily. She was too tense because of possibility of a dangerous argument between Rocket and Peter but with Nebula’s existence she felt the tension relaxed a little. Nebula looked at her with a dumbfounded look in her eyes. Mantis frowned.
“It looks like the date is passed like shit,” said Drax.
“How was your date?” Mantis asked worriedly. Suddenly Nebula crouched down where she is and hide her face with her hands. All of them charged at her with alarm.
“What happened?” asked Rocket.
“Nebula are you okay?” asked Mantis while reached her.
“Hey, the date is that bad?!” said Drax.
“Did he do something to you, Nebula?!” asked Peter ragingly. He looked like he is ready to kill someone. Then he immediately turned to Rocked and yell, “You said that he is a good man!”
“Well, looks like I was mistaken!” said Rocket. While they continued to argue Mantis looked at the Nebula with a little smile while touched her hand. She already knew the situation.
���Oh…” she said. “Nebula…”
When Nebula lowered her hands, others looked at her immediately. When Peter saw her expression, he felt his heart fluttered excitedly. He never saw that expression in her face before, he never thought she can be more beautiful than she already is. There was a big smile on her face, her eyes shines like stars. Excited, happy and…
“I…” Nebula started. “I think I am in love.” And in love…
Peter felt like his heart stop at that moment.
There is a moment of silence while no one dared to look at the Peter. The one who finally break the silence was Mantis.
“I am so happy for you Nebula,” she said while holding her hand. She was really so happy for her but also sad for Peter. She didn’t know what to feel about this situation. Then she decided to take care of Peter later and focused at Nebula right now.
Others too congratulate her save for Peter. He said nothing and while others talked to Nebula he went to his room. Rocket looked behind his, he didn’t follow him because he understood he need some time alone.
He sighed again. The situation was like a shit already but he couldn’t help, he was happy for Nebula.
She deserved this. She deserved to be happy. He just wished that the one who brings her happiness would be Peter…
Background ; Jesse Pinkman is one of the main characters in the world of breaking bad. He is characterized as a “pathetic junkie”. This sort of “older brother whos fucked up and not at all an example but still gives heaps of advice” archetype.
At the beginning of the show, he barely escapes the law and loses his partner in the process. Walter while blackmails him into cooking Meth with him.

Vince (the director of Brba) did an amazing job with symbolism using colours and imagery. He also did a great job at making those symbolism blurry enough to be interpreted by the fans. I, myself, am aware that I’m not the only person who will have that opinion about Jesse but I feel like it’s still worth sharing in my words. I hope you guys will appreciate my take on Jesse’s characterization.

Part ; personification of trauma
You don’t need to watch the show to know what’s going on at anytime. Just look at jesses emotional state at any given episode, just look at the physical scars and bruises on his body. Every time Walter fucks up, it affects him. Every time there’s violence, it ends up taking a toll on Jesse’s psyche and on his body. I’ve always felt like Jesse isn’t much of a person but more of the human embodiment of all horrible things going on throughout the show, he’s a constant reminder that the show is fucked up, when stuff like blackmailing and murder starts becoming normalized, you have Jesse in the corner having a mental breakdown to basically say “yo, idc if this feels fun and normal, this is shit”. I’m not necessarily saying that Pinkman isn’t a real character, he’s definitely there and obviously a person in the show but I feel like wether Vince intended or not, Jesse is the personification of the trauma of the show. His kidnapping as well can be interpreted as Jesse feeling trapped by all the stuff he’s witnessed. He can’t talk about it, he can’t tell the police or else he’ll be jailed. He feels trapped in a box where no one will listen to him. Of course, Jesse was truly enslaved but it weirdly feels like a pretty spot on embodiment of what Jesse feels and is subjected to during the show. As much as he wants to tell people, as much as he wants to escape, Walter pulls him back, he can’t say anything; he can’t escape. The second Jesse starts pulling back, Walter does something unimaginable, Jesse looses someone. Just like when Todd shot Andrea. He can’t leave, he has no one now.
Lowkey mad this is like a slice of my life atm (I got like a million other things planned that I’ll probably never do but would still appreciate being able to allot the needed brainpower for ‘em), but at the same time…
I spend so much time in a bubble of the darkest, despressingest solitude that I don’t draw enough silly (everybody else seems to have the corner market on that) and neither do I do enough…oooooohhh leeeeeewwwwd shit. Also because, it’s everywhere else already. But it’s not…MY brand. My braaaand.
I can still just make and enjoy. My brand.
Somebody take my Switch from me. Don’t actually. Haven’t finished Tears of the Kingdom yet and I still gotta get back to Kirby. Whew shit~
