me and my sopranos mutuals talking about sopranos yaoi

Daily schedule:

Wake up on the problematic side of the bed

Eat a harmful breakfast

Log onto tumblr and reblog posts from abusive mutuals

Attend narcissistic classes

Watch an irredeemable movie

Listen to offensive music

Eat a cancelled dinner

Go to sleep derogatorily

Have dreams that will have aged poorly by the time I wake up

I will always love the scene in the sopranos where tony tells the lads he's seeing a psychiatrist and it's framed like him coming out

A few thoughts on the Breaking Bad universe and Greek mythology...

I'm intrigued by the parallels drawn between Hector Salamanca and the Trojan hero, Hector, who most famously kills Achilles' partner, Patroclus, in the Iliad. Hector's murder of Patroclus is what spurs Achilles to a massive killing spree, culminating with Achilles' murder of Hector. His ultimate revenge. In this vein, Gus and Max make for compelling Achilles-Patroclus figures. Like their predecessors, they are highly implied to be romantic partners outside of relationship in the "war." Though in the end of Breaking Bad, it's Hector who brings down Gus/Achilles, which sort of turns the Iliad narrative onto its head. Unlike the Iliad, Breaking Bad doesn't permit its "Achilles" even a moment of victory or glory. The heroics of vengeance and rage are completely disavowed.

It's also interesting to think of Nacho as a sort of failed "Trojan horse." In Greek mythology, the Greek army sends the massive wooden horse into Troy as a false sign of their surrender. Unbeknownst to the Trojans, a group of Greek soldiers are hiding inside it. Having entered enemy territory, those soldiers escape, opening the city gates to their army. They destroy the city and win the war. It's all reminiscent of Nacho's trip to Mexico, particularly his opening of the gates for Lalo's assassins. Nacho setting a fire in their kitchen can even be read as a microscopic burning of Troy. The main exception, of course, is that the "Trojan horse" plan that Gus sets out for Nacho doesn't exactly win the war...

"Victor is a son figure for Mike same as Jesse." oh this is so interesting as a hc i never considered because mike is so different to victor than he is to jesse but also doesn't treat him like a random grunt either

I think this mostly stems from the fact that we didn’t see Victor and Mike interacting a lot. But I’d argue that, at least in BrBa, the intention was to make them close.

Exhibit A: Mike’s reaction to Victor’s death. The staging put some emphasis on his shock and grief, showing him pulling his gun on Gus, rubbing Victor’s blood off his wrist at a bar, staring at the box cutter on Gus’ desk. Victor’s death had a personal impact on him.

Exhibit B: Mike’s “The Guy” speech. 100% about Victor and anyone who says it’s about Nacho is ❌WRONG❌❌. It indicates that Mike and Victor worked together closely. Mike’s (initial) annoyance at Jesse trying to take Victor’s spot is also interesting.

Exhibit C: Jeremiah Bitsui’s brba-era headcanons which I pulled from 10+yrs old reddit threads because i’m normal.

Although his ideas were retconned by BCS, I could see a world in which Victor and Mike grew closer between BCS and BrBa. Anyway, I forgive BCS for discarding kid Victor & mentor Mike because it gave us Victor and Tyrus as a duo instead💯

I have a lot of Walter white's gif shoved up my ass. I can feed a whole family with gifs for a month

recently ive seen a lot of ppl on tiktok bring up how shipping culture has changed for the worse. they have good points like they explain how there's an insane amount of fandom policing nowadays... but in the SAME BREATH they go "this message is NOT for you proshippers you guys are weird !!" like THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE.

Gus Fring (childless gay male drug lord blatantly trying to manipulate Walt into cooking meth for him by appealing to his masculine vanity): "What does a man do? A man provides for his family."

Millions of self-declared "alpha male" chuds at home: *nodding along* "Oh my God, that's so true, I can't believe that bitch Skyler doesn't appreciate Walt for all he does for the family"

Reminder: Bi Visibility Day is September 23. Remember to leave cookies out for Freddie.

This is like a Renaissance painting to me

He's so fucking cringe

Eso leona 💋

"No, no mi rey, ugly no 💅"

THAT'S THE ATTITUDE, maybe mentally ill, but ugly NEVER

it was, in fact, not all good, man.

This tattoo is literally so perfect for him, like bravo tony

Also vince knew exactly what he was doing having lalo almost always in short sleeves or rolled-up sleeves

tony soprano and artie bucco should've fucked. no, it wouldn't've solved a single thing. yes, it would've created newer and worser problems. but godDamn, get that shit outta your system. figure it out, get nasty about it, get A Room! call it therapy!

Though not played, the song "Sympathy For The Devil" by the Rolling Stones is referenced four times through various dialogue directly alluding to Ralph as the devil. The references allude to the fact that Ralph is portrayed somewhat sympathetically for the first time in this episode ["Whoever Did This"].
