I honestly have no words for people with this outlook. Middle aged men who attack Greta for the way she looks and for being young?? Clearly they have no substance to go on. They know she's right and they're SCARED of her, so they do what they do best with their hollow heads: attack her appearance! She is doing this because NO ADULTS care enough to speak up. I stand with her and I think she's incredible.

Heisenberg Syndrome

So I wanted to post my own quick response to this post by @rokukazuya discussing whether Jesse started developing Stockholm Syndrome during his captivity ordeal with Todd. Specifically in regards to the symptoms that Jesse exhibits in the scene where he has the power to kill Todd and yet doesn’t shoot him. A reddit poster described Jesse’s condition rather perfectly as - “learned helplessness”. And it wasn’t just Todd who inflicted this mentality on Jesse. It was Walt (or rather Heisenberg) who conditioned Jesse into thinking that if he ever tries to fight back, then he (or someone he cares about) will pay the price. So even when Jesse has the power to win and overthrow his captor, he won’t take it because he’s convinced it’ll result in failure and punishments.

The scene with Todd in the desert reminded me most of Jesse at the end of Rabid Dog when Hank has him wired up for the sting. In that moment, Walt was a sitting duck. Jesse could have walked over, let Walt spill his guts and it would have been over. But by that point, Jesse couldn’t conceive of Walt not being all powerful. Walt had done so many evil ruthless things and gotten away with it. So Jesse couldn’t imagine himself in a position of power. All he was seeing were the ways Walt could hurt him, punish him or kill him if he even tried anything.

Of course, Jesse did proceed to fight back. But only by first vowing not to do anything that Walt wanted. Jesse felt sure that he could only beat Walt by first refusing to be drawn into that perceived trap. Even though as it turned out, the meeting at the Plaza was no trap at all. And then Jesse came up with a trap of his own. And it worked. But then all went horribly wrong. Because you can’t go up against the Devil and win. Todd and his gang were the manifestation of that unstoppable Heisenberg power that Jesse had feared during Hank’s sting.

I see Jesse’s abuse at the hands of Todd as an extension of the victimization he was already suffering from Walt. Todd might not be half as smart as Walt, but he doesn’t have to be. You don’t have to be a genius to use the tactic of threatening somebody’s loved ones in order to control them. By the time Jesse was Todd’s prisoner, he knew that Jane had died and Brock had been poisoned so that Walt could deliberately make Jesse feel helpless and have power over him. Todd did the exact same thing when he murdered Andrea to break Jesse’s will.

The only difference between Jesse’s two abusers is that Todd’s abuse is far more naked and simplistic. Todd lamely offering Jesse a pizza to talk him down is just a dumber blunter version of all Walt’s little shows of fatherly caring and appreciation towards Jesse when he wanted to bring him to heel. In El Camino I even felt like they were mirroring the moment Walt hugs Jesse in Confessions. In both scenes Jesse tried to take a stand against his abuser and he expects to be punished for it. Jesse flinches and recoils when both Walt and Todd get close to him. When they force affection on him, he can only stiffen and cry. I don’t think Todd alone brought Jesse to this state. But Todd didn’t even need to be a master manipulator to gain crippling psychological power over Jesse. Walt had already conditioned Jesse to feel that way and to let it paralyze him.

I noticed when I was a kid that adults seem to forget that everything is real, no matter how young you are. A seven year old doesn’t feel like a helpless infant, they feel the oldest and most mature they’ve ever felt. And they will when they turn eight, too. And nine. Twenty. Thirty. Fifty.

You never feel as young as you are, because you’re always the oldest you’ve been. You can only look back and equate childhood with ignorance and silliness, because there were things you didn’t know then. But there are things you don’t know now, too, that someone older is looking down at you for.

I promised myself I would never forget that, growing up. I put it in a time capsule when I was nine because I wanted to be certain. And sometimes it slips away, and I catch myself scoffing at people younger than me, but you have to fight that. You have to hold on. You have to keep a little bit of your younger mind inside you, so you don’t forget.

I think that’s important.

Remember that you’ll always change, but know that the person you’ll become isn’t going to be any more real than the person you are, or the person you were. They’re still going to feel like You.
