the match cuts were beautiful, the homage 2 walt and what jesse learned from him despite the sheer evil he inflicted was palpable, there was closure in so many little areas that i didn’t even ASK for

the bad guys were Meh and i’m a lil bizarrified at jesse going full arthur morgan high noon with a .22 KLSDKFKDLSF but i’m not Mad at anything, alaska is obvious but a lil cliché but OTHER THAN THAT

i gotta ramble somewhere about lil details !

- jesse wears like NOTHING of his own in the entire movie like he’s given clothes from todd etc, skinny + badger (beanie esp), new ones that don’t reflect him at all at the end, like it rly reinforces just how isolated he’s gonna be forever like alaska is all well and good but jesse’s only got a small slice of freedom, he can never have his own identity again and has to live under a guise pretending to be someone else EVERY single day, just seriously reflect on how fucked that is

- love all the lil things that i EXPECT tbh thanks to brba, i.e match cuts (shower scene especially), colour theory (yellow + red most prominent in el cam.ino it seems but also GREEN - money), parallels and allusions (i could be here all day listing), lighting (jesse + walt walking literally into the shadows / jesse and lighter / flashlight), soundtrack (search montage + ending), the acknowledgement that walt taught jesse as much as he destroyed him, the callback to brock at the end without a full blown reunion (would’ve been unnecessary and cliché)

- jesse’s mindset was PRISTINE i didn’t disagree with a single choice he made as pertaining to his characterisation : shaving at the beginning despite the risk bc he can be CLEAN again, still trying to see the good in the worst people, i.e. trying to find justified reasons for todd to kill his cleaning woman - did she steal your money? what did she do?, then the gut instinct of wanting to escape but relenting to subservience (pepperoni pizza scene) - big dick energy of not having anything left to live for and therefore no longer being scared to die (SO easily paralleled to early season brba scenes w/tuco), killing so easily at the end was not surprising

i also liked the cameos! i wasnt drenched in characters from brba but had enough scattered to make me nostalgic and familiar, his parents were adequately reinforced Assholes but i like that they balance out with the attempts at parenthood - picnics, turn yourself in, their behaviour during the phone call as well as jesse’s reassurances to them - like they clearly tried but it was minimal effort thrown out the window at the first sign of a more conventionally talented son so FUCK them, it rly speaks wonders that while walt did Way more to ruin jesse he also did way more to support him like y’all are THAT bad at parenting huh ...

also we KNOW my thematic refs to bugs in my portrayal so lil beetle scene was v good to me :) and ed’s desc of jesse as having a tat of a large insect above his brow like yes give me associations x

jesse’s pokémon team for absolutely necessary reasons.

001.   SCRAFTY.

This Pokémon may be rude, but it takes very good care of its family, its friends, and its turf.

002.   MUSHARNA.

The dream mist coming from its forehead changes into many different colors depending on the dream that was eaten.

003.   STOUTLAND.

Being wrapped in its long fur is so comfortable that a person would be fine even overnight on a wintry mountain.

004.   DRAPION.

It takes great pride in its strength. Even though it can tear foes apart, it finishes them off with powerful poison.

005.   GLACEON.

It causes small ice crystals to form by lowering the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere.

006.   SANDSLASH.

Curls up into a spiny ball when threatened. It can roll while curled up to attack or escape.

IS  A  METH EMPIRE      really  something  to  be  that  proud  of   ?

[capncook]

hewwo i may still play around w which colour hexes i use in writing but ultimately they reflect the Aesthetic of albuquerque   !!!   blue skies,   yellow boonies all around,   but then on a more symbolical level obviously u have the blue of the crystal meth jesse cooks and the yellow representing 1) the energy jesse brings to counter walt’s darkness and 2) yellow representing a hazard or DANGER, see hazmat suits, see the danger jesse gets roped into all series x

*   TWO  WORD  PROMPTS.          accepting.

034.   SHATTERED  GLASS.

he  looks  deep  into  the  eyes  of  his  twin  self      :      that  piercing  gaze  is  dulled,   yearns  the  whetstone  of  sleep  to  sharpen  his  senses  again.          jesse  leans  closer,   inspects  the  pallid  shade  his  skin  has  gleaned      (     grey  bags  under  his  eyes,   the  mottled  yellow  and  purple  of  fading  bruises,   a  notch  of  silvery  scar  tissue  above  his  browbone      )      and  swallows  thickly.

within  his  skull,   walter’s  words  reverberate.

you  don’t  think      /      you  never  think.

white - knuckled,   he  grips  the  edge  of  the  sink  like  a  vice      [      vice     :      a  weakness  of  character  or  behaviour    ;     a  bad  habit.      ]        and  lets  a  breath  deflate  from  his  lungs,   shoulders  stooping  with  the  weight  of  it.          perspiration  has  settled  as  a  sheen  on  his  forehead,   stomach  clenched  with  the  tight  need  to  empty  itself.

i  watched  her  die.

he  punches  the  mirror,   one  quick  pistoning  action     —     looks  up  just  in  time  to  see  his  reflection  crumble,   an  eye  here,   the  simper  of  a  mouth  splitting  in  two  like  a  scythe  there.          the  shards  of  glass  scatter  around  him  like  crystals.          on  his  balled  fist,   blood  beads  in  small  and  stinging  globules.          on  his  cheeks,   hot  tears  do  the  same.
