because like sure, u can make any number of logical, plot-driven arguments as to why jesse immediately went to badger and skinny pete after breaking out of the compound. they were nearby. they were familiar enough with the crime world to help him evade immediate capture. they were the only people in his circle still alive. "el camino" is a story about the major players in jesse's life, so why wouldn't they be in it?? but something just feels so emotional and intentional about jesse going to them. badger and skinny were comic relief sidekicks for almost the entirety of "breaking bad", but there's no joke here, no punchline. it's totally sincere in a way that we've never seen before. jesse barely communicates with them while he's there and he doesnt need to: they Recognize the change, the damage, and handle him with unprecedented care. they still make jokes, but it's different. it's gentle. and it just fits so perfectly into the theme of "el camino" revealing Exactly who the characters are at their core and what kind of intentions they have/had for jesse. he goes to them because he knows badger and skinny won't have any bad intentions. they never have. they aren't comedic relief but just relief. he's a lost dog who could've broken into any viable shelter for food and rest, but he went where he would actually be wanted. that was just as essential to his survival as the food and sleep.

Hiiii! Would you be willing to write head canons on what it would be like to date Jesse, Badger, and Skinny Pete? Thanks in advance much luv.

Jesse,Badger, and Skinny Pete x gn reader headcanons!

Jesse Pinkman

I am convinced this man will do no wrong. He would genuinely be the sweetest boyfriend im the world

I can see Jesse in the earlier seasons just wanting to come home to you after a long cook, sit on the couch with you and a beer in hand.

Jesse seems like the type of dude to bring you a rock and say it reminded him of you because of the color or something

Type of boyfriend to get matching tattoos with you

He 100% is a yapper (me too) but bro will probably just yap to you about dumb shit Walter did or his interests

This man will probably spoil you with his meth money.

Also feel like he would have matching handmade bracelets with you.

He still draws. I feel like you two make breakfast and he’s sitting at the table with a sketchbook and pencil in hand

overall 100% boyfriend material.

Brandon “Badger” Mayhew

Startreck. Movie marathons, binge watching the show this man is obsessed with startreck

Doesn’t seem to me like the type of person to use pet names, he probably has a ridiculous nickname for you

Dog Person. He 100% has a big fluffy dog that he talks to you about all the time and if you too are in bed together definitely comes up and cuddles with you.

Not much for pda but he would probably just hold your hand in public.

Cuddler. This man is the size of a sasquatch and would deadass be so comfy

Skinny Pete

I personally head-cannon Pete to be into music so I feel like he would defo talk about music to you.

He sleeps like a pretzel. If your cuddling with him expect to wake up with him on the edge of the bed in a weird ass postion.

I feel like he would be the type of person to have matching bracelets with you like one day you come home and he just gives you a matching bracelet.

type of guy to ask at 1 in the morning if youll walk to the corner store with him

if you have long enough hair he plays with it. Idk i feel like he would do that

—————————

Thxs so much for reading I really appreciate it! Also sorry for being behind on requests school is absolutely kicking my ass. Anyways have a good morning,day,evening,night wherever you are :D

the complexities of addict to addict friendships are so often intertwined with really sincere care and love. sometimes they aren't, of course, but sometimes they are, and i look at skinny pete and badger throughout jesse's timeline in this perspective. i think about skinny pete and combo peer pressuring jesse to do meth in early seasons, despite him trying to stay sober; i think about badger and skinny pete later on being pressured by jesse to do the very same thing. i think about them talking about working the steps, and how addiction can so often skew your perspectives, and how isolation (particularly within abusive circumstances) can make you cling onto the misery loves company angle and not see the wrongs you are doing as you enact them. but something so striking about these moments to me, though, is that regardless of them, in el camino, when we have what seems to be a moment of relative sobriety (sans weed) with badger and skinny pete, we see this clarity and compassion. we see care and consideration. we see that friendship with no judgement, no guidelines, no prerequisite or debt tied to it.

what's important to me about this is how their friendship prevails. what's also important to me is how we see these echoes of how their friendship operated before, pushing through these horrific moments and aftermath of severe trauma (and torture). we witness the petulance from badger that we see way back when jesse and him had argued plenty of times, we see the leadership (and now, in a more well-adjusted and wholly well intended light) from skinny pete. we see the drive and loyalty that has kept those two, throughout all of those years, still at jesse's side. it doesn't take away from the ugly moments, nor does it take away from all the messy nuances of addict to addict friendships, but it does hold weight. it does give an importance and layer to the "comic relief" factors of this show. it makes them into more than a cut scene, a tagline, or surface level characters. it makes them active, present, people (and friends) who have seen jesse pinkman survive, and cared for him (in varying degrees of exercising that care) through all of it. it makes them feel real

[el-michoacano]

Badger and Skinny Pete go to visit Jesse in Alaska at some point, right? It's probably not for at least a few years, long after things have cooled down, but I really want a road trip AU of the two of them out looking for Jesse! 🖤

[pinkmandias]

thinking about how skinny and badger in el camino stayed up all night watching the news, eyes glued to the screen, increasingly horrified at each and every detail about their best friend having been kept like a dog being so callously shared with the world…

[djooonts363]

Unironically one of my favourite characters (especially Badger)✌️

[ghostboyhood]

badger and skinny pete i will never hate you

I put the Breaking Bad cast (and some Better Call Saul characters) into the Hunger Games simulator and played it twice. Here are some highlights:

[spockvarietyhour]

Did I ever tell you about my Star Trek script?

[kylejsugarman]

we never see jesse go to a concert in "breaking bad" because the last time he went to one, he got separated from badger and skinny pete and summarily sucked into the mosh pit and by the time they finally found him, he was soaked in guinness draft and smushed against the ground like

[iheartbadger]

Badger/Brandon Mayhew x gn reader hcs!

He would genuinely be the sweetest bf ever, late night movie dates, getting high and doing stupid shit together

As you started dating he would probably introduce you to Jesse and Pete, becoming part of the friend group and fucking around with them

Badger would still probably call you dude and bro even years into the relationship

He would probably info dump about Star Trek and whatever his current interests are

mans love language is probably gift giving & physical touch, badger would prob send you a text of a rock and say it reminded him of you

Constant reminding you that he loves you man wants you to know that your loved

silly little dates at a local dinner or just going to the park

i feel like he would prob want a pet for you two to hang out with he seems like a type of person to want cats and dogs

bro would prob just like getting high and cuddling (me too)

make you watch his silly little scifi shows while cuddling on the couch<3

bro is so cutie patootie :3 thank you for reading :D
