Broke: Walter White became Heisenberg when [insert specific scene of choice]

Woke: Walter White was always Heisenberg deep down

Bespoke: Walter White never became Heisenberg because, while the alias symbolically stands for his moral decline within the story, to Walter himself Heisenberg was an unattainable personification of what he considered aspirational masculinity. Traditional patriarchal ideas about manhood are ludicrously divorced from how real people function: In the world of a "Heisenberg", women and children are reduced to near property, to an extension of the self and a source of ego growth, while other men are reduced to competitors in an imagined hierarchy. A "Heisenberg" is invincible. He is always right, always respected, and always comes out on top eventually. In order to believe in the illusion that a "Heisenberg" can exist in the real world, can be embodied by oneself, a man must let his compassion and vulnerability be eclipsed by the need to win against a perceived omnipotent threat of being emasculated - Effectively isolating himself from healthy connections and coping methods and leaving him with only that very struggle. Walter's downfall at the end of the series serves as a wake-up call that reveals to him, and reinforces to the audience, that he has been living in a male power fantasy which was bound from day one to shatter eventually.

A couple of quick Heisenbitch sketches that I made today because I just suddenly started to miss them. 

Season 2 of this show in particular is somehow very nostalgic to me  — maybe because it has a good balance of them being dysfunctional together but at the same time kind of starting to figure each other out? Like… their dynamic gets established really well but all the completely awful stuff has yet to happen (at least before Jane dies). And even the heavier scenes I do really enjoy and think are some of the best in the show. 

Anyway, I may or may not clean these up a bit later.
