#i’m not a subtle man

[starbuck]

I honestly love that you talk about Tuco and Salamancas so much. it's partly the show's fault but they are such a fucked up chain of harm family, and nobody really talks about it much aside from memes

I really appreciate you saying this!

I remember specifically after my initial whirlwind six-day Breaking Bad bingewatch, i was doing a puzzle and listening to some music and I suddenly realized that, out of everything in the show, their collective tragedy had really affected me and stuck with me and thinking “hmm, well surely watching Better Call Saul will cure me of this…” and then I felt this absolute JOLT of delight upon unexpectedly seeing Tuco at the end of the BCS pilot and I was like “ah, okay, so I’m stuck like this!”

But seriously though, it’s been rewarding! I like puzzles! I like characters who the canon does dirty or who were clearly not the writers’ primary concern! I like to think critically about the media I consume and the way I interact with it! And I also ADORE inescapable cycles of tragedy! … So this whole thing was actually fairly predictable, in hindsight, haha…

And yeah, I’d LOVE to talk more about it… I’ve got another fic that’s fully done besides a final polish edit (which is gonna take awhile and I’ve been super busy with my new job, hence no progress in the past month or so!) - so I’m excited to get that out eventually as I prefer to share my more inference-heavy meta in fic form.

subtle foreshadowing

I’m going crazy over The Passenger’s beginning scene. because we all know about Benson watching Randy the whole time (especially when Chris tries to fight with Benson) but the fact that Randy shook his head no to Benson about Benson bucking up to Chris over the shit he was trying to do to Randy is wild. I bet both Jess and Randy knew Chris was gonna get his ass beat (maybe Randy also thought Benson would get hurt) and that’s why both Jess (Jess tried grabbing Chris to stop him from going over to Benson) and Randy (with his head shake about Benson defending him) stopped a fight from happening. In this essay I will

I’m sorry I genuinely cannotttttt understand how some ppl bash joe even in a joking manner. Like the poor guy did nothing wrong (that we know of) but so many ppl are making such snide remarks by comparing him to Travis which is not only condescending but actually kind of mean! HELLO did we listen to the same reputation album??? You can’t praise Travis for letting Taylor bejeweled and then rip joe to shreds in the same breath when joe was the one there for her in a clearly difficult and trying time in her life

If Ulysses has a million haters, then I'm one of them. If Ulysses has one hater, then I'm THAT ONE. If Ulysses has no haters, that means I'm dead. If the world is with Ulysses than I’m against the world.

Please stop twinkifying every character who has even just a little bit of chub on them. “Oh well I cant draw-“ so do it bad!! That’s how everyone starts dammit!! I literally love “bad” starter art, it’s awesome, put your damn soul into it and it won’t flipping matter dammit. You’re gonna be here tomorrow, the time will pass, you might as well just put the effort into learning today! Don’t settle for Pencil shaped men (unless said man is actually pencil shapes),,, plea se..

This post is not just about average shaped bodies and slightly chubby people this post is also ESPECIALLY about fat characters. Stop making fat characters skinny. Seriously. It’s weird.

What is with the weird movement of trans guys rn who are like . “Trans men are never and will never be treated like cis men. Trans men will always ultimately be viewed and treated as women. Misogyny is an inescapable facet of transmasculinity. Male privilege is unattainable for trans men.” We are NOT experiencing the same transgenderism.

the nature of thinking about the later ghost story books is that i inevitably get plagued by fiverthoughts it’s happening right now i can feel it happening right now and i can’t even be mad that it’s distracting me from the current plot bc like. oh my god. ohhhh my god. the thing about fiver is that he is simultaneously very false and deeply, achingly, sincere in basically everything he does. like every third word out of that man’s mouth is just a plain bald-faced lie that he tells with total confidence while fully aware that he’s lying and what impact it will have, but at the same time he’s only motivated by his emotions, and he feels everything to an extreme degree. he’s interesting to write bc he really truly does NOT have any ulterior motives or greater plan he’s working towards despite keeping so many plot-relevant secrets and being so cagey about his past. in reality his primary motivation is just how much he wants absolutely NOTHING to do with any of the larger plot. he sees an event that feels like it will have consequences for the world at large and starts sprinting in the opposite direction he is! not! looking! he does! not! fucking! see! it!!!! after [REDACTED] happened and he started getting visions he did everything in his power to avoid anything that might feature in them and steer others away from those outcomes. he believes he can build a place that the world won’t be able to touch where him and the people he loves will be safe and he will draw any blind bolt any door ignore any sign twist any truth to make it happen!!!! that’s the only reason he does it. that’s literally all he wants. and idk i know i’m the one writing him but i can’t decide whether that makes the whole situation better or so much worse.

one of my fave things about teaching is that I’m NOT a counselor and I don’t have to get into the weeds with a student but also I’m part of their life every day and i see when they’re struggling and I can ask how them how they’re doing and make sure that they know I see them on a steady, daily basis and it will be healing for both of us

bothers me very much when people use Ted getting upset telling the denver broncos story as like evidence that he could be queer instead of thinking about an old friend drowning in loneliness and saying to himself “i should’ve been there i should’ve supported him” is him reflecting on his traumas, as if this is not a man who heard his dad kill himself at age 16 and carries that guilt wherever he goes. he tells EVERYONE he loves that he supports them no matter what the struggle is and colin’s struggle was internal and invisible, WHICH SCARES HIM. he’s terrified by invisible struggle and he always has been BECAUSE of that childhood trauma. so TO ME…… it reads very media illiterate to take it that way, because Ted didn’t have some tender gay experience with his denver broncos friend in the 90s, he’s haunted by knowing there was someone he loved who went through something alone (even if it was silly and minor like watching the Super Bowl alone) and doesn’t want anyone to ever feel like that again, (especially if it’s something as big as being one of two gay men in a room in an industry that hates them) let alone one of his players on the team that he has worked so hard to turn into a family!!!!!!!!!! damn!!!!!

Roier doing the same “sorry we’re busy :) on a mission :) just us :) see you later maybe :)” act to Bad when he came to say hi to Leo that he used yesterday to get Bad to leave him alone. Dragging Leo to the train, “last one there’s a rotten egg!”, because he just can’t trust Bad - not with himself, certainly not with his sister now that she’s back. He didn’t give him the time of day yesterday, didn’t trust him for small talk - why on earth would he trust him now, that the eggs are all awake?

I’m sure everyone’s twigged to the fact I’ve been working on something very specific, and I’m sure several people have already put the pieces together and know exactly what it is, but please pretend I’ve been keeping up some sort of mystique about it when I inevitably post the teaser about it later this week.
