Howard Hamlin: illusion of burning sins

Inspired by Better Call Saul S04E01 - Smoke:

“There’s something else that’s still burning after the fire that took Chuck’s life.”

I originally drew this piece at the start of the year, but recently I got back to it and decided to add some spice. Despite some small errors, I like how it looks now. Yum!

My creative process & thoughts for this piece:

It’s originally a self-projective piece partially about my mental struggles, but I won’t be talking about myself here.

Let’s focus on Howard Hamlin in this episode, right after Chuck’s death - Unforgivable as Howard Hamlin thought he was, he was partially a scapegoat for Jimmy McGill’s deeds. I’m putting Howard in the frame, but it is reflecting an aftermath of Jimmy’s self-denial and psychological manipulation driven by his own insecurities. Jimmy told Howard “that’s your cross to bear” while the sentence also serves as a suggestion to the audience that Howard is indeed a sacrifice to Jimmy’s self-loathing and avoidance. Jimmy McGill would be the illusionist who casted this whole “illusion of sins” upon Howard Hamlin’s already conflicted mind. Would you feel pity for this guy? Vince legit made him cry for your pity.

Everything is still about Jimmy McGill, our cunning, venomous perpetrator. Self-loathing and antisocial tendencies are a part of his true nature. Did he see Howard’s distress? Did he see Howard Hamlin’s suffering? He did. But this man closed his heart to them, just like the way he run away from himself. Jimmy McGill’s lack of sympathy is one of the very things that brought Howard into his grave. Just how pathetic Howard is? Grieving for his misplaced error in the dark, this man is oblivious to the fact that he was already entwined by the serpent: a cold blooded creature who would never change its nature - the snake here serves as a symbol of Jimmy McGill’s inherent antisocial tendencies. Howard could never foresee the future of this serpent sinking its teeth into him and pump out its deadly poison, which will finally give him the kiss of death. Even the stars that will guide him on his path cannot save him from this misery. Personally, 401 feels like the beginning of the downfall of Howard Hamlin, and the rise of Saul Goodman.

If we think about the causes of Chuck’s death, it’s not hard for anyone to see that Howard Hamlin, this poor man is overshouldering someone else’s sin - someone who’s unable to face the responsibilities to their own actions, someone who’s in constant denial, someone who’s too much hatred in their heart. (Naw Howard is legit Jesus here💀) it’s why I chose to cover Chuck’s face with the cross too, for how Jimmy mislead Howard into believing that Chuck’s death was all his fault, when Jimmy himself was the main perpetrator.

Anyway, in later seasons of the show, we can notice that Howard was crumpled up and put into somewhere he didn’t belong, he’s forced to face this superficial alienation - his marriage was falling apart too. With this vulnerability, Vince showed that this lead lawyer of HHM was stuck, he was conflicted, his glory was wearing off, he was struggling like every normal person would. He was burning not only because he’s trapped by guilt and sin, but also for the reason that he has the vitality to “burn” and release energy: He is resilient. He has the life inside of him to be burnt.

Compassion creates a sense of closure between characters and audiences. The entire tight spot in Howards life conveyed by Vince makes audiences empathize with him easily - honestly I never felt a thing for Howard Hamlin’s boring ass because I was busy siding with Jimmy McGill in my mind in the first few seasons. What’s interesting about Brba/Bcs is that Vince put us in front of a quandary: who would you side with in a fucked up world with fucked up people? When watching the first few seasons of BCS I put my empathy in Jimmy McGill, but then my empathy slowly detached from him as the show progressed.

As for Howard, I just pity this man as an audience after witnessing his fall presented by Vince in the later seasons: what Howard deserved was anything but a nameless grave with his murderer, a defamation, and a twisted, made-up story stated by his perpetrators on his funeral. Vince made it obvious to the audience. Yes. Let’s make this glorious man suffer. Let him be guilt tripped. Let his life fall apart like a roller coaster so you’ll lay your compassion and love onto him - Howard Hamlin lost everything, he didn’t even have a death with dignity thanks to the people operating the fucked up bullshit in the dark - It’s interesting to notice my “love” for this character is originally out of compassion.

Despite Howard, there are lots of characters who deserve audience’s love. There are Nacho, Mike, Gus, their motives are even noble if you try to look at it from a humane perspective, but anyhow they’re all part of this gut-wrenching predatory game - it’s basically how everything is so complicated in a world depicted in Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, they create intricate conflicts. I do love how fictions like BrBa and BCS allow us to explore the complexity of humanity in a safe distance.

As Howard Hamlin was buried, Saul Goodman buried Jimmy McGill alongside with him too. And then there’s Lalo Salamanca lying beside Howard Hamlin like they’re doing pillow talk - they are both powerful beings taking high positions in the BCS food chain. As they disappeared, the path for Saul Goodman’s career to ascend is broad and clear. A cucaracha rising to the top, and this time he’s fully embracing the darkness.

In conclusion: Great make-believe, Vince!

Transformers encountering all the various human solutions to boobs ranging from corsets, stays, bras, suport tanks, breastbands, cross tied cords, choli, freeballing, etc. Immediately start trying all the varieties for better well suport. Breakdown neads some good overshoulder bolder holders lets be real.

humans finally introduce cybertronians to boob support that is more comfortable than "just stuff them behind the chest plate and hope for the best" and they can't get enough. This is awesome for them. Bras and corsets are big hits. Some bots have taken a more radical approach and just let their tits hang out because they realized they don't have to suffer with them squeezed uncomfortably behind their chest plate....

WEN QING WEDNESDAY | 2 / ?

[ID: Three gifs of a scene of Wen Qing and Wen Ning from the Untamed, in cyan and green tones. The first is an overshoulder shot of Wen Qing putting her hand on Wen Ning's shoulder and turns him slightly towards her. In the second they are shown from the side as she looks at him and speaks. In the third we see Wen Qing again, nodding at Wen Ning and looking close to tears. /End ID]

Rings of Power Episode 8 Liveblog

Scraggly hobo stranger man...

Nooo, that"s his emotional support apple!

THAT'S NOT NORI! GET OUTTA THERE MAN!

Idk them all being mistaken about his identity for some cheap trailer lines feels like misguided writing

Oh gosh, Halbrand looks appropriately wounded

Fruit of Laurelin reference!

Lol Elrond looks so perplexed to see Galadriel

Girl, he works for the king! He's supposed to be in Eregion! Answer his question!

Those are two different reasons, Gal

Just keep swimming, just keep swimming...

WHAT IS WITH THESE HUMANS WHO GET IMPALED AND JUST KEEP WALKING AROUND

At least Celebrimbor calls him on it

Don't be so coy, Celebrimbor, it's unbecoming

Which master would that be, Hal

Those gemstones look like resin

Jesus Hal can you not keep your hands out of other peoples business for five fucking minutes

Nice way to introduce the Numenorean obsession with immortality and rope Earien back in.

Pharazon 100% knows she's shacking up with his son and is keeping an eye on her

Gosh that must be freaky to have the delirious king go off on you like that

Looking in Palantiri is a dangerous business. It doesn't always lead you right...

Oh I like it when Celebrimbor gets that look in his eye

Is there a king in this show that is anything but an obstruction to the plot??

Halbrand is like the perfect rubber duck for Celebrimbor, sparking in him all these ideas that just need to coalesce

Celebrimbor's cape in this scene is kinda cool

GALADRIEL IS SUSPICIOUS

You tell him, Elrond

Ugh, they're right, they're jamming all the Cele-Hal into this one episode

All these elves look like fucking Vulcans with their short Roman ass haircuts

They're using these REALLY tilted overshoulder shots on Galadriel even more extreme than the height diff would indicate

Who are these ladies actually???

...You get stars that can only be seen in one place going north-south, not east-west. MAYBE If you are on a flat planet?

Did no one tell them that he doesn't like being called Sauron?

Pretty forward and controlling with someone they consider their master

Hide little harfoots!

The stranger is Aslan???

SADOC NO

Oh whoops that wasn't even their guy at all

Now he's mad

Yeah, get em! WHO'S YOUR GOD NOW

Oh here's the fucking wizard fight

Everyone gets to be awesome!

Oropher come collect these wicked ladies setting your forest on fire

Nooo, you're good!!!

Tell him Nori!

Geez, Sadoc is up and running around too!

Oh, Marigold, no

The Istar!

They're...moth...people? Some kind of wraith?

No! Ask the wizard to help him! At least try! T_T

Now he needs to drop the freaky cult staff and get him a proper walking stick

Valandil no... T_T

Miriel don't be mean he's just trying to help. There's no sense in pretending you don't need it

Your father was a fucking deontologist, Miriel

Suppose there's no real chance of hiding her blindness

Whoa. That is NOT the prediction I expected to come through, honestly. RIP Tar-Palantir

Your not doing science if there's not EXPLOSIONS

I sincerely believe Halbrand is just having a fun time doing science with his friends

Now Galadriel, you are the one who made him be a king. He wanted to stay in Numenor and make swords

Galadriel is REALLY suspicious

So Hal's just going for it, I guess

Get out of her fucking head, creep

DON'T TOUCH THE FREAKING DARKNESS OMFG GROSS

He does not handle rejection well does he

Now Galadriel, denying, him repentance isnt very Christian of you

Oh yeah, he was legitemately trying to be penitent with her...he's just very bad at it

Oh that is a cool shot. Very tied into the themes of light and dark

don't say it

Oh he didn't say it

See Sauron this is why she doesn't like you. You act like a fucking incel whenever you get the slightest pushback

Ooh, she failed her will save again

...THEY DECONFIRMED THE KIDNAP DADS???

So of course she's not brave enough to actually  tell them WHY they can't trust Hal. Could have made this all a lot easier

He can't actually trust you, Galadriel. Because you're lying to him

That's your answer? Not "Don't fucking do it the whole process is corrupt" just "make three"?

Yeah, we all knew that knife was toast. Much symbolic, very thematic

Damn he can actually like talk now

Poppy for president!

They're kickin ya out, Nori

Go with her poppyyyyyy

Continue to love the Harfoot gestural language

No see Poppy is clearly in love with Nori

GO WITH HER GFDI

Fuck you forever writers. That nose line was unnecessary

Is the blade silver too...??? We're not gonna adjust the ratios or anything? Okay

I MEAN it's good to have a silver knife when you're fighting werewolves....

Just chuck it in there, not like we're doing delicate mtalurgical science or anythign

Yes yes, the Eye of Sauron, we've all seen it

Movie shot recreation. Sin.

That poor scroll

How tf is Sauron going to get anywhere if everyone knows?

Don't smile like that Galadriel It's creepy. Gonna make everyone think you're not who they think you are

How is Nenya a different color than the other two???

Oooh, time to do some EVIL. Gotta go have a rematch with Adar.

Ugh don't sing. I can't handle it right now.

So we gonna get the other rings at some point?

A draft of the plan for the video

The main character rushes into the dormitory (consider a shot to the end)

The main character is browsing the page about applying for master's degree - taking pictures of the main character and the computer side - taking pictures of the browsing screen from the back of the main character - taking pictures of the face of the main character - failure

The protagonist wakes up from bed - tossing and turning - and pulls the covers back on

Close-up of washing face and brushing teeth

Start tapping on the computer - take close-up of the face, rotate the eyes - you can switch the Angle, place the tablet to show learning countdown, overshoulder and close-up (reduce the countdown with the increase of the week)

Flip through a book in a dark setting

Watch the computer - dub some lectures (can be in the open air, outside the table and chair)

Use a tablet in bed in the dark

Sit on the couch and drink coffee

When you can't sleep at night, you turn on the light and start to study.

Countdown to 0, the protagonist fell in front of the computer, hand close-up, glasses close-up, character close-up - music: electrocardiogram into a straight line Repeat these scenes with subtitles in the middle of the video (showing the progress of the week). Ecg dub at the beginning of each week

Chapter 16: Eya

Ding! JJ groans. Turns over. Eya rouses at the movement, accepting it without hesitation when JJ shimmies back into his arms (arms that barely even reach around the man’s massive chest) and bumps his butt against Eya’s pelvis.      He settles in as the small spoon with a happy sigh.      Eya gives a single amused snort, lays his head between JJ’s nape and shoulder blades, and settles back in as well.      DING!      This time JJ’s groan is accompanied by frustrated muttering and half-asleep hand-searching in and around the bedside table. When he finally finds the offending phone it’s with a self-satisfied curse, followed by a long stretch of silence. When he next speaks, his voice is half-asleep and slurred. “Lottie? When… when’d he give me his number?” He asks to the world at large. “The fuck’s a sorcher?”      It takes Eya a minute for his sleep-addled brain to figure it out.      “That’s my phone, Babe.”      JJ grunts and passes the phone overshoulder, pressing it gently against Eya’s cheek for him to grab. Eya unwraps himself from JJ and grabs it, turning onto his back as JJ turns back around to face him.

sent at 7 AM L♡ttie: D’you have any luck, sorcher?

Eya hums. “What should I tell him?”      JJ answers without hesitation: “The truth.”

Eya: My luck pulled through!

“No, wait.”

Eya: Yeah. Is it true that—

“No no no, that’s lame.”

Eya: I can’t wait to see the factory. You think you can—

“Gawh-AH!” Eya groans, throws his phone on his stomach before covering his eyes with his hands. His glasses are still on the nightstand, so he presses the butt of his palms to his eyes. “What the fuck should I tell him?”      “Tell him you want a date.”      Eya’s head whips around so quickly he thinks his neck might break.      JJ is watching him with knowing eyes and an open, happy face. “You know you want to.”      They hadn’t really talked it all out the night before.      Eya pulls up Lottie’s text again. And hesitates. “Lottie’s in the Cakerie till noon, yeah?” JJ nods. “Maybe I should…”      “Go on, I’ll stay back,” JJ urges with a wide smile. “It’ll give Lottie a day to miss my face.”      One-on-one time with Lottie.      How could Eya pass up the chance?      He couldn’t. Which is why he’s now standing across the counter from an amused, gorgeous DuCiel.      “Could’ve just texted me back,” Lottie’s voice is sugar sweet and honey thick.      It makes shivers run down Eya’s spine. “Wanted to talk in person.”      “Did you now?” His smile is full of fang. Again. That really shouldn’t be so hot. “Well then since you’re here, tell me:” He leans in close… and a ripple of magic encircles the witch. The same magic he’s felt twice before. Eya’s hard-pressed to ignore the odd feeling of… of… satisfaction(?) that the rush of magic brings. Something about Lottie wanting to be alone with him, wanting him inside the obscuration spell this time around, making him feel special—like one of the chosen ones.      Lottie’s elbows are on the counter and his eyes are focused squarely on Eya. No distractions. No eavesdroppers. Just the two of them. Like a real date.      It’s fantastic.      “You have any luck?” Lottie finally asks, echoing his morning text.      Eya shakes himself out of his satisfied stupor and pretends to hem and haw over his answer. “Wouldn’t telling you be a conflict of interest?”      Lottie’s eyes narrow slightly.      He knows, Eya thinks, but doesn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing he’s won.      “You’ll just have to wait till the day of truth like everyone else.”      “Or~” Lottie sing-songs. “I could bribe you.”      Eya swallows, and tries not to show just how much those words affect him. “Bribe me?”      “With cake, of course,” Lottie announces, putting his chin in his hands. “Any kind you’d like.”      “Got any…” Eya trails off, his brain freezing with a smile still on his face. His mouth catches up faster than his mind. “Funnel cake?”      Lottie’s eyes widen. Actual shock on his face as he blinks, mouth gaping like a fish. “That… isn’t a cake.”      Eya smiles. “Then why’s it called a cake?”      The way Lottie’s eyes narrow, the glint that flickers in his eyes, and the static that ripples out through his glamour like the edge of a serrated blade reminds Eya just how much he doesn’t know about the DuCiel.      But the feeling of danger emanating from him is there and gone within seconds—      Replaced by a wide, victorious smile. “Well then, monsorcier. Why don’t you follow me?” He pushes off from the counter and the magic around them dissipates like a curtain falling, thrusting them back into the world at large.      He crooks his finger at the witch and steps towards the cash-register and the kitchen beyond.      “I’ll make you the best funnel cake you’ve ever had.”      Eya blinks owlishly at him.      Butterflies swarm in his belly.      Oh. Oh.      Eya has just enough wherewithal to be embarrassed about nearly eating face tripping over his own feet following after the tempter, but not enough to feel hurt when Lottie’s melodic laughter fills the room—his amused smile and warmth the best balm to any hurt ego he may have gotten.      Oh, I am so fucked.

To Be Continued in Chapter 17 💗
