#jess does NOT have to go

i really like that one tiktok

adding for posterity's sake: my rendition of jesse is very rated-r. his mouth is foul and his morals mostly grey. he's got a dirty mind and a dirty heart and dirtier hands. he grew up among men of the true southwest in mexico and arizona at the hands of his vaquero father. he drinks and puffs cigars, wrangles cattle, and smuggled guns internationally at twenty-one. he's every bit a nomad and considers himself as free as the wind at almost forty!

saga would fit in perfectly with the whimsy and horror of the fbc after the events of alan wake 2. she’s already technically with them after getting clearance from kiran and ahti is the world’s best reference when it comes to applying for a job at the oldest house. no one would even question her seer powers because life is already so weird when you’re at the fbc

Breaking Bad/Batman crossover where Jesse starts manifacturing fear toxin with his old chemistry professor Jonathan Crane ("Jesse didn't go to university--" I don't care maybe he did in this AU. Or maybe this Jon teached high school briefly. I don't know man just roll with it)

This'd be mostly based in the world of Batman, the Breaking Bad aspect is just that Jesse Pinkman is there. And now Scarecrow has a sidekick who says BITCH! a whole lot.

since it's a bit of a mini discussion rn... i don't like female jesse's voice acting. while cat taber was able to do SOME emotional scenes well, she falls flat. like a lot. like she sounds like a disney channel actress more often than not. and that's not to say patton oswalt's performance doesn't have flaws, because it does, but his feels like someone who knows what they're doing vs cat taber who sounds like, again, a disney channel actress. and her performance also makes female jesse seem a different personality from male. which isn't a huge deal but there is supposed to be like, no difference. like when they put the warning sign for the heckmouth down, jesse's response to the situation as a whole is wildly different, like female jesse should've been just as unhinged about it and i dislike how calm and collected she is vs the male one. you know, all that + the zionism thing.

hi hi hello i have been gone forever due to various reasons such as “work” and “mental illness” and “having developed a kpop hyperfixation that has been occupying most of my attention recently” but i need everyone to know that i saw off book live twice last week (in philly with a friend and then in nyc with my girlfriend) and it was truly so everything. i didn’t get many pictures but i did get a few and none of them are very good but one of them is of jess’ amazing stool balancing act and that’s all i need really

alright, since the Remedy brainworms got me I've been replaying Control, got to the AWE expansion last night and picking up on all the echoes/foreshadowing for Alan Wake 2 is making me go utterly bonkers, but like. has anyone picked up on or talked about how in all of Alan's Hotline messages to Jesse, when he's writing about her POV, he exclusively calls her 'Faden'

like, maybe it didn't poke my brain the first time I played it since he does the same thing when talking about Hartman, but coming from AW2 it's pretty jarring as a stylistic oddity...almost like there's a reason (in-universe and/or out-of-universe) that he doesn't call her 'Jesse'...almost like there's only one Faden in his story...

and given how in AW2 we also get some (quasi-) clarification regarding the limits of Alan's ability to "make stuff up" vs alter and rewrite "real-world" events that he sees in clairvoyant flashes...given the Night Springs screenplay pages you can find in AWE that parallels the FBC and the events of Control (i.e. a Director and a Scientist opening a portal to another dimension, finding an eldritch Entity, the Director trying to take its power for himself and then getting taken over before shooting himself)...given how literally all of the "dreams" Dylan tells Jesse about are descriptions/viewings of stuff that takes place on one level of reality or another ("I was the director and you were an intern"; "we were in a game, and it was a fucking boring game but you couldn't stop playing it"; Mister Door, and "a world with a writer writing about a cop, and another world where the writer was real"; a "musical" about Jesse), except, seemingly, the dream about "Jesse Dylan Faden"...

guys. are you picking up what I'm putting down here. guys. GUYS

When Jessica's apologists hate on Gwen it's hilarious cuz if there's one person Jessica owes an apology to it's literally Gwen

Ok looked at all the vampire f/f books listed on sappfic.com or whatever and. Thats not a lot comparatively and also I had an idea! Who wants to read the one scene i already wrote for it

[july-19th-club]

there are a lot of powerfully, artfully, incredibly awkward scenes in breaking bad but one of the ones of of all time is the scene where walt is firing gale by saying that gale is jazz and walt is classical . and in the middle of this jesse shows up and gale realizes that classical has just broken up with jazz in order to hook back up with skeevy white rap

yes walter white was a hopeless misogynist aroused by violence and everyone (or one side of the fandom anyway) seems to fixate on that but i’d argue that the way these themes are presented aren’t really about walt. obviously toxic masculinity - though i dislike that term with walt as he is an emasculated figure in the show - and male egocentrism are key points of his character but they seem to present more as a scrutiny of these characteristics within the male breadwinner.

and there can be more point to a theme, like whether that’s within a character or just the larger commentary of the show. i feel like the dynamics of misogyny and chauvinism within walt and his relationships are extremely interesting on their own for sure, and that’s why they provoke such animosity towards him but i’d also say they make such a cruel joke of what the west values within family and it’s horrible but so reflective if that makes sense. i almost view the disruption of the nuclear family (or american dream if you prefer) in brba as satirical with how clearly the ideas of the male provider are stressed over and over and over again. like gus’s attempts to manipulate walt by highlighting this pretence he puts on about his reasons for cooking. i think this pushes forth the examination of the male patriarch given the breadwinner of the show’s main family is a murderer and meth cook. especially considering that walt’s family is technically the only nuclear social unit that we see intact - with the whites still being regarded ‘as a family’ up to the end of s5 even through separation periods and different living scenarios as there is no actual divorce. and when a say ‘traditional’ nuclear family i’m talking married mother and father with multiple children (and i’m not counting jesse’s family as intact, but that’s up to interpretation).

but i think this ironic and incredibly fucking dark focal point of families promoted as ‘ideal’ within america and the west at large really doesn’t operate as a part of walt’s character, but rather uses him as a stand-in for the domestic male figure; the absentee, distanced, violent, and self-martyring qualities that are expected and even praised. so, obviously, as the domestic male figure it is a part of his character but it’s not what makes him unique or interesting. it’s our only view of fatherhood and spousal responsibility within the so-called successful family unit, so it comes to reflect every ‘successful’ nuclear family, not walt. the final thing that walt says whilst his immediate family are all together is ‘we’re a family’ *twice*. it’s practically an affirmation. their family is a success.

again that’s not me saying that walt like isn’t responsible for anything he does lmao, on the fictive level he absolutely is, but also he was created as a construct and as a stand in for patriarchy itself. like the individualistic hatred of walt as a terrible person kind of overlooks the effect of having him as the lone domestic male figure.

and i actually don’t think an embodiment of misogyny is the point of walt’s character necessarily, i would argue mortality is a much more pertinent issue (if i start talking about that i will never stop tho lol), but this crumbling format of what is desirable for neoliberal america makes far more sense to me than just walt as a dickhead to hate if that makes sense.

Playing Until Dawn got the first time where I'm actually the one holding the controller because I wanna play the full game and get my personal favourite ending before the movie and the remaster/remake comes out:

On one hand despite my typical shaking hand problems, I literally got no moment whatsoever in the first Don't Move, so I think playing that weird meditation minigame from Wii Fit Plus years ago has actually given me some benefit.

On the other hand, it had been so long since I have used a PlayStation controller and am struggling so hard to remember which button is which. I am very worried for the quick time events as this game progresses.
