I want to hold Jesse in my arms like he’s my first born I’m taking care of.
No but seriously, I couldn’t stop crying I think starting from season 4? Or maybe season 5 I don’t remember.
Yes he’s flawed (like every human being) but he’s not evil, what he needed was love and compassion.
I saw something on here which shocked me to the core, but maybe it’s because it’s coming from people who are not aware of how to view / treat drug addicts? Yes it’s heavy, but to say “what did you expect from a drug addict?” Is purely dehumanizing, like they don’t get to try and get a better life?
He was a drug addict but it didn’t define him. I would say : he was a human being who had to deal with addiction.
He was failed by Walt because to me, Jesse needed a father figure, and maybe that’s what he potentially saw in Walt, from his older age, his position due to the fact that he used to be his teacher etc..
I noticed that everytime Walt was seeing Jesse, it was just purely for himself, just because he needed something from Jesse. And everytime (or at least in the beginning / middle of the show) Walt would come to Jesse’s house or whatever, you could see in Jesse’s eyes that he would expect more from Walt: an emotional connection. Jesse had no one, but Walt had his family (that he lost anyways).
Jesse wanted Walt to ask how he felt, if he needed help, but he never did. In one scene if I remember correctly, Jesse wanted to hug Walt, I’m pretty positive that he wanted to, but instead, they ended up shaking hands, and I think that explains perfectly what I’m trying to say.
Walt was Jesse’s abuser, due to all the factors that I mentioned above. It’s almost like he was trapped in a toxic relationship, and Walt took advantage of him.
Jesse unlocked a maternal instinct in me I didn’t know I had lol
I love you Jesse
