i have this hc that in alaska when people ask jesse abt his scar he just says he was mauled by his neighbors dog or something as a kid. thoughts?
my thought is im going to blow u up one billion times until u become a celestial body to rival the sun in its fiery totality.
my OTHER thought is that, unfortunately, thats a wonderful parallel and bookend :( its a pretty easy lie to maintain even if a keen observer noticed some of his scars are a little "fresher" (haven't totally keloided and keratinized the way a scar gotten as a child would have by this point) but it fits so horrifically well into this narrative that jesse was Never a rabid dog. he was neck-deep in dog imagery the whole show because of his loyalty and the Well Look At Him, but he was not a rabid dog, he was not this loose end to be tied off by taking him out behind the shed no matter how many times people tried to do that to him. the people around him—particularly walt—were the rabid dogs, mauling him for their own selfish gain. rabies is not something that can ever be cured once its symptomatic, which is why all the others died and jesse lived. so yeah, in a way he was mauled by dogs, just as an adult. but he got away even if he does have the scars to show for it.
