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.

sodie time

thank you very much ^__^ !

Okay for real tho since I know that "i" is probably meant to be a "u," I've really just been drawing basically every day my whole life 😅 My parents are both artists and they've supported me from the start, so I grew up drawing all the time!

do you even lift an entire nation bro

(you can't see me but im rattling the bars of my cage) so when walt goes to the compound in the series finale, there's of course that beat where jack has todd bring jesse in to sort of "parade him" in front of walt and if you look, jesse doesn't make eye contact with anyone and only briefly makes surprised eye contact with walt before looking back down again, i think to show that they've broken him. when he escapes and first gets to skinny pete's place in el camino, that's where it's most noticeable for me. skinny pete says the "yo dude you lost?" line, which for most people would be your cue to make eye contact so they can realize it's you, someone they know, but jesse keeps looking down. he just keeps looking down. even as skinny pete starts to recognize him, jesse still can't make eye contact with him and just says the line about getting the car off the street because he's in pure survival mode. the rest of the night—tearing into food like a feral animal, collapsing into bed—he doesn't make eye contact and hardly does the next day either, even when skinny pete and badger are talking directly to him and trying to engage him in conversation. he's been in a situation where eye contact means aggression means attack for so long that it takes him a while to relearn how to do it. he's a horse they've broken and even when his blinders are removed, he doesn't know how to look at anyone

also nacho is like "you are so fucked up. you really live like this??" the first time he sees jesse's lifestyle and jesse's like "yo, sorry for not being a fucking housewife" and nacho rolls his eyes and is like whatever this kid ("kid" as if they're not close in age and neck-deep in the same fucked-up shit) can die of scurvy if he wants, but if he starts bringing lunch for the both of them when they have to go do stuff and buys him a gd brita filter. no he didn't.
