there should have been a scene in breaking bad where walter slapped jesse in the face idk. I feel like in the earlier seasons jesse and walter get into shouting matches a lot but there's something so especially twisted by being slapped in the face. it's more personal than being punched because it doesn't invite fighting, it's a final, domestic, humiliating sort of violence that you can't get from anything else. I feel like it's so weirdly intimate to get slapped because it says you're not enough to get punched, so I'll hit you like this because I want you to shut up and I know you won't fight back. anyway walter would do it to jesse specifically because it's such a demeaning sort of violence, a parent and child sort of violence, and jesse is used to it but never from him and he knows it would drive home the point that he really is worthless to everyone. more thoughts to come but like come on

spike ranting in “lover’s walk” about how drusilla didn’t care enough to attack him or behead him or set him on fire is a brilliant line. because it simultaneously demonstrates how absolutely fucked his love map as a vampire has developed as well as his keen understanding that the true opposite of love is indifference.

Don't you just love when a character is barely a person? When they're just a big lie dressed in some silly clothes? Like, who are you? What do you mean you have no idea? And yes I absolutely would love to find out.
