Todd: *gets introduced*
Me: ooh his cute, wonder how he'll cope with the terrible things the others do
Todd: *murders a child with zero remorse*
Me: Oh
#still weirdly like him though#or i should say i feel bad for him#idk its hard for me to truly hate characters who do terrible things#when they legitimately don't seem able to understand the things they do as wrong#like can we truly categorize someone as evil if they have no concept of right or wrong#like a kid just completing a task because the adults told him to#the most obvious example of this mindset is how he treats jessie while he is imprisoned#going from torturing one moment to giving him ice cream the next#& not out of guilt (he genuinely dose not seem to register he has anything to feel guilt over)#but instead out the extremely out of touch notion that they could be (maybe already are in his mind) friends#it doesn't seem to register to todd at all that Jessie would obviously hate him/be afraid of him after what his done to him#in his mind they're just two guys who are close in age & work in the same field#they're “classmates”/peers/equals#& why would Jessie be mad when todd is just doing his job#similar to his infatuation with lydia#doesn't matter that she is clearly all business with him#that they have nothing in common with eachother (outside their work) & live in two tottally different worlds#she is an attractive woman his age who is in his space#so hey if he just keeps talking#keeps perfecting the meth#then eventually she'll like him back#just like Jessie now “likes” him back#i saw someone online describe Todd's “relationship” with lydia#like a kid who dosn't understand that the teacher they have a crush on dosn't see them the same way#& his relationship with Jessie (onced imprisoned) as a kid who asked their guardian (jack) for pet#& i have to agree#breaking bad#todd alquist
