I don't like Walter White. I don't know... he's an objectively well written character but I just don't vibe with him.

Not because he's done so many fucked up things in the show (because most other people have messed up pretty bad, as well).

Walt just didn't pass the vibe check for me, I guess.

I don't find him badass, personally. He can be really cringey sometimes.

I just have to bear with him whenever I start rewatching the show because he's the protagonist. It's weird.

Lmao I am so sorry I keep forgetting to go through my inbox and actually respond to y’all but Yeah Basically!! I think there are actually three main reasons his character rubs me the wrong way and this might sound bad but none of them are bc he’s a murderer (it’s fiction lol) number one I can’t stand having secondhand embarrassment and he’s so cringe he makes me have to pause the show every five minutes to pace around my bedroom for another five minutes so it takes me foreeeeever to get through a rewatch which is annoying and his fault number two he operates less like a drug dealer in terms of his criminality and how he operates and more like a domestic abuser, esp the way he jerks Jesse around but also in just how little effort he makes to keep his family separate from his criminal dealings, he makes a big talk ab professionalism but everything is always personal w him which is why nobody wants to work w him and his family man schtick is ironically a big part of why he’s so despicable. Number three I haaaate condescending ppl and being condescended to it is my least favorite human flaw and I’m not saying you can’t have any redeeming human qualities if you have a bad habit of condescension but I am saying we would not get along lol

Just a friendly little reminder to anyone who might be about to click send on an unnecessarily rude anon ask:

D.B.A.A.

It means: Don’t be an asshole. And it’s quite simple. All you have to do is check yourself before you wreck yourself. Are you sending something to ask a question or to be rude? Are you offering constructive feedback or are you being aggressive and offensive? Is there a better way to send your ask without breaking the DBAA rule? If there is, great! Do that! If there’s not, well... refer to the bird above.

@dbaa​ asked ( meme ):  “This is how people get killed, when their stories don’t fit.” from ANGELO

         ‘ i mean. maybe parts of it are a little square-peg. or triangle-peggy, because that’d still— ’ he makes brackets of his fingers and knocks his hands together once, one on top of the other, in his best approximation of a gesture that means ‘close?’. ‘ it’d go in a round hole, it’d just hurt goin’ in. like swallowing a chip before you chewed it. but it fits well enough overall. ’

ike waits a beat, then checks: ‘ are we talking about my story or your story? ’

Angelo hurries past and tries to skip the line. Nix blocks him with their arm. If he weren’t a Salucci, it would not have been an arm.

@dbaa said "is everything okay? i mean, other than, you know... everything." @ raymans from camille  / the good place / no longer accepting

Everything. It’s not as if he sees Camille all that infrequently, but it may have been a longer gap between this meeting than between the last time and the time before that. It shouldn’t hit him so hard, her soft voice and the cup of coffee in her hands, the apology of it. All he is and has been since he last saw her is an orphan, divorced, shot, a father, trapped in his home state. Without a blink, folding his fingers around the handle of his own mug, Raylan says, ‘beat me to askin’ you the same question.’

Worthiness does not come in a box. Up on the @oneoeight.tv blog today, I'm sharing reflections on politeness, some experiences in this yoga industry and the conditioning values we learn. If you're living to likable, you just may not be living up to your fullest potential. "I have never been one for the gifts in the material. My sentimental cannot be wrapped in the perfected gift basket or thoughtful transaction. Maybe I've become jaded, or perhaps that holding something in my hand has far less meaning than the emotional connection of such transmission. Some of the biggest "gifts" came from distorted relationships, absent family roles, and excused behavior or showered "love." I had a grandparent, one whom I barely knew, that offered gifts wrapped in exchange for affection. Maybe this is one reason I am not much of a hugger. Forced affection in respect to another. Such duty we play into, submission. Games of respect come bearing gifts to replace an "I love you" or "I'm sorry." I suppose such exchanges look great on paper or check-off list of deed. Such motivations bleeds into politeness. It is far better to be polite than it is to be real. This is conditioning that I have known. I've been thinking a lot about politeness and how little value it holds; I am not saying that we become straight-up assholes, but I am saying we become real-holes. I think of my friend, @jenpastiloff (and fellow oneOeight guide), and her badass-loving crusade of "don't be an asshole DBAA!""

I tell my girl friends you have to say something or else you're just passing it on to the next girl. "Speak even if your voice shakes." https://www.reddit.com/r/justgalsbeingchicks/comments/1pttt0v/because_she_rejected_him_he_insulted_her/ What I like about this is she breaks down the psychology of it all perfectly and in real time.
