and you know damn well

If Cinnabon Gene/Saul Goodman does get arrested, I hope to it’s televised in-universe. And I hope Saul goes all-out when they catch him, like that mob dance scene in The Mask, with Saul singing and dancing like a goofball, because Kim might be watching. And he wants to make her laugh one last time.

Thinking about how Jimmy McGill’s primary love language is “words of affirmation” and how people whose love language is “words of affirmation” are more likely to be caretakers, and people who are more likely to be caretakers have a harder time living for themselves, finding it easier to live for other people, because at least then they know they are needed.

So when Saul is lying on the ground in the desert screaming “I’m done! DONE!” while Mike Ehrmantraut is staring at Saul, telling him he is dehydrated and needs to drink water, and Saul says he doesn’t care, saying he just wants to die. And when Mike tells Saul he finds the strength to keep going because: “I have people who need me. And when I [die], I will [die] knowing I have done everything I could for them.” And how Mike asks Saul, with just a look, if there is anyone he needs to keep going for. And Saul only getting up after hearing this, not before. Then Saul admitting to Kim later, when he is finally home: “the only thing that kept me going was knowing you were here.” This show outright states that Saul Goodman does not care about living for himself. But he does care about living for Kim.

She hasn’t felt happy or good in a long time, and I think one of the last times she felt very good was when she ran that scam with Jimmy in 201. And so I think, y’know when you just – I think it’s that thing of like 'I just don’t, y’know, I don't feel good, I don't know what’s going on – fuck it, I’m gonna go, y’know, spend five thousand dollars on my credit card, I’m gonna go drink, I’m gonna go do this.' You do the last thing that made you feel kinda good and I think the last time she felt happy was when she was with Jimmy running a scam, y’know?

So art block has been worse than I thought and I’m just not doing too hot generally

however I continue to love two (2) chaotic dumbasses

this one specific scene where Kim and Jimmy are doing the distracted sort of meaningless banter that you do when you’re at level 10 comfortable with each other. He’s reading off the ad about it this ranch or whatever and it’s described as “casual but luxurious” and she’s like “ooooh I’m casual but luxurious” and then he reads off that it has a 5-car garage and she’s like “what are supposed to have 2.5 cars each?!!” And they just meaninglessly chatter....literally why does this show understand Love on this level.....

It’s meant to be more of a gentle ribbing, because I think there’s something about Jimmy. He essentially says, “Why would you be with me?” The idea that a woman like Kim would even give him the time of day… I think he still doesn’t quite believe that, because I think there is an element of what Chuck believes about Jimmy that Jimmy has internalized.

For me, Kim’s whole thing is, “I love you. Of course I’m here.” There isn’t even a moment of, “I’m not going to help you.”

I think these two have a hard time speaking to that level of intimacy, though. There’s always that distance of joking that comes out.

Jimmy is a person who has emotionally been kicked by everyone who’s important in his life, […] and I think Kim is so controlled that it’s a little bit difficult for her, as well.

He is trying to be good, but it seems like the perimeters to do that keep getting shifted on him. Like, “Try to be good in this little box.” It raises these great questions of, “Is that his destiny?” We all know what he turned out to be, but did you fight to get there or did you fight against it?
