@waywardsist3rs I went and turned my PC back on to grab these.

#patrick fabian #my general opinion on the film was i saw howard tiddies

okay I'm 3 episodes into Breaking Bad and I'm pleased to report that this show is not over-hyped. Some of my favorite things and/or observations so far:

Very realistic depiction of cops --- as someone who has an uncle who is a cop, I can say with confidence that Hank perfectly embodies everything that's wrong with them. Hank walks through the world thinking that people are either Good or Bad and that designation is largely fixed.

This fucks up how interacts with both people he considers Good and Bad. With 'Good' People, he doesn't have to care about making them uncomfortable or upset (teasing Walt about the gun, ignoring how Marie is upset by his crudeness, repeatedly insulting and talking down to his fellow cops in the guise of banter) because obviously they're fine with it or are just overreacting. Additionally, he doesn't have to apply the rules to Good People. He can bring along Walt for a ride-along, can let his belief that Walt Jr. is using weed go unreported, his own wife steals shoes, etc.

With 'Bad' People, he can treat them however he wants. He can harass a woman and insult her to her face and degrade her, because she's an addict and therefore Bad. He scream at people he's detained while he takes a personal call because they're Bad. Basically, he can abuse people as long as they fit into his arbitrary category of Deserving It.

Everything About Krazy-8 --- Krazy-8 is not a good person, and the show never really tries to make you think otherwise. He tried to kill both Jesse and Walt, betrayed his own cousin, and if freed, would likely have killed Walt and his family. And it makes since why: drug dealers rely on reputation, and if your reputation becomes 'guy who chained to a pole with a bike lock' then you're out of the game. The only sure way to prevent your rep get destroyed is a blazing path of vengeance.

And yet, and yet, he is still a person, and killing a person is not something you treat lightly.

In essence, Krazy-8 is proof that Hank's ideology is completely wrong. He wasn't born Bad. He was born in deep poverty and wanted to study music but did the practical thing. And then the practical thing didn't work out and so he did the practical but immoral thing: sell meth.

The trope of 'If you kill me, you become me' is usually over-wrought and untrue. But in this one case, even though no one brings it up, it does apply. Krazy-8 is just someone who, like Walt, chose the practical but immoral option again and again and again.

It's not really about the medical system guys --- as much as I would love a very well-earned criticism of the dumpster fire that is America's healthcare system, this show is not it. It feels more like Walter realized that he has a set death day, and it's soon, so he might as well do what he wants. And what he wants is, for the first time, to stop turning the other cheek and accepting all the unfairness that is hurled at him.

So really, it's instead about how poverty in general destroys and wears down on people until they're no longer able to keep choosing the high road!

When I said Howard would sabotage Kim no hesitation, I meant that he literally just sat down, noticed Kim in 0.1 seconds and immediately went “i’m about to do something so hilarious”

Howard when he senses a chance to be a petty bitch

#i gave him red eyes and now he looks like he's an animatronic from five nights at freddies #and she is blissfully unaware that he's about to eat her face but not in a fun way

Because I've been playing BG3 again and Im obsessed with BrBaBCS I cant help just decide what species the characters are.

Starting with BCS

The McGill family are halflings, apart from Jimmy McGill who was born a Tiefling due to someone in the McGill family ages ago making a deal with a devil. Its always been a slight to Chuck, not that Jimmy is a Tiefling (he says anyway), but that he is Jimmy. Chuck obviously looks like Chuck, but Jimmy is a Mephistopheles Tiefling, so he is blue with horns that fold over his skull, a tail that is very animated, and clawed hands (Still Bob Odenkirk though). He doesnt have cloven feet. His suits contrast with his blue skin. Chuck still has his issues with electronics here, but you could add in magic sensory issues as well.

Howard Hamlin and the Hamlins themselves (Including Cheryl) are high elves. Howard has that innate superiority complex where he cant quite help not talking down to someone. He likes Jimmy, he likes Kim, but hes also got that stick shoved up his ass like High Elves who lives longer than the other races around them so sticking Kim in doc review means nothing to him because he has the years to spare. Hes not a bad guy, hes just aloof to what his actions look like. Chuck, though, he respects him. He can be annoyed as well by having to put his devices in a mail box.

Kim Wexler is human. She is pretty much herself, changing her into another species I feel would change her character as a whole, especially in how Howard and her relationship goes throughout the show.

As for BrBa

Walt is human because anything else would fundamentally change his character like it would for Kim. Skyler (and Marie) are half elves imho, which makes Flynn and Holly quarter elf. I wanted them not just human, but also not directly another species and I feel like half elf works.

Hank has been quite hard to place. Because part of me says dwarf, but another part says that doesnt fit, so I went and read about Earth Genasi and

Earth genasi tended to be strong and tough, but were often stubborn and oblivious.

That's not Hank. He is everything above. So I've decided on Earth Genasi where he has a more greying skin tone (still bald) with some mineral elements because jesus christ, marie, they're minerals, not rocks.

For Jesse I think he suits a deep gnome because they are curious and quite fun, but they harbour suspicion and dont trust easily as well. Males are bald, so it would be Jesse with his shaved head, he could even be half deep gnome and half forest gnome to explain hair.

I havent really decided on anyone else yet.
