"Victor Is A Son Figure For Mike Same As Jesse." Oh This Is So Interesting As A Hc I Never Considered

"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💯

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"

Happy October 1st! redraw of my post from 2022 :b
