I also think people underestimate how much Jimmy knows what he's doing when he takes the risks he does.

Jimmy dies early taking risks; he antagonizes the wrong people, he sticks around danger instead of hiding away, he takes the hit rather than run away, every single time.

And people often talk about this like it's a miscalculation on his part, like taking the risk is a mistake, Jimmy foolishly getting himself into trouble he wasn't prepared for, blinded to the consequences.

Which is patently untrue.

Jimmy isn't stupid, he's irrevocably hopelessly brave and bold and ambitious! Jimmy doesn't bumble into danger blindly assuming he'll be okay, Jimmy puts himself in the center of the action knowing the consequences and choosing to do it anyways! Jimmy would rather die being part of the action than live safe and tucked away and bored out of his mind!

This doesn't mean Jimmy doesn't want to live. Making it to the end has always been his goal- Jimmy plans to win next season. But the goal is not and has never been safety. Jimmy wants to live, not survive, he wants to be part of things, he wants to make his mark and prove something!

Jimmy's choices have always been his own, for better or worse, and he makes a point of making every single choice count, of burning as brightly as he can. Every breath Jimmy takes is a choice, and no choice is ever wasted or spent on simple survival. It pains me how often I see him shown as a helpless caged bird or stupid bumbling fool doomed to die either through fate or his own stupidity.

"i also noticed, on my daily flyby to see if mumbo's home- it's always nice to see a little bit of progress by mumbo, because then you know he's ok, he's doing alright- look- look who it is! it's like.. another grumbot variant!"

girl he is killing himself and putting his brain in that thing.

Joe: But the thing is, was he really me? I don’t think I’ve ever realized quite so much how I can’t tell if people feel like I do! How they think! Certainly looked and talked like me, but experientially? Totally different! Just as opaque to me as a stranger, or a friend, or a lover! What really is a lover then? Can I really connect to anyone if not myself?

Cleo: Yeah, but did you fuck your clone?

Joe: Oh yeah I mean obviously. Who wouldn’t?

cubfan135 fact #620:

Cub is out, bitches.

Cub: What would your last words be if this was your last day on Earth?

“I’m out, bitches.”

And that’s it. I instantly die after I say those words.

so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.

The combination of 'unnervingly flawless self-control' with 'occasional tendency to engage in reckless, dangerous, and borderline self-destructive or death-seeking behaviour' in a character is SUCH catnip to me
