There's Definitely Something To Be Said About The Life:doom Dichotomy Inherent To The Drug Trade.

there's definitely something to be said about the life:doom dichotomy inherent to the drug trade.

life representing the hedonism and overindulgence of the culture and the properties of the drugs themselves, doom representing all of the suffering and atrophy and ruined lives that the trade brings about.

are there any other characters you can feasibly see as heirs of doom? cassandra seems an obvious choice (if not a something of hope) and ive always seen jesse pinkman of all people as one as well.

Nothing comes to mind, but Jesse Pinkman is really good, from what I’ve seen of him and heard of his arc. I love that a lot.

I need to get back on my watchthrough of Breaking Bad. I finished Season 1, but got distracted by FD Signifier existing… Been real caught up in watching through more of his essay catalog, lol. Soon…

Curious about what people's classpects are.

I'm a Rogue of Breath myself; Dersite sway.

And, yes, sharing a title with Rufioh Nitram is just as painful as it sounds.

Rufioh & Meenah's friendship is... weirdly endearing to me? They have a really interesting rapport during Openbound and I think part of that boils down to the fact that they're very similar people.

Both Rufioh & Meenah share a principle of 'act first, run away, don't look back and don't feel guilty'. They hurt people and hide away from the consequences, then jump back into their lives without realising the hurt they've caused. They're a very similar brand of shitty with a similar fast and loose moral code, and I think that's why they get along so well.

The difference is that Rufioh is more of a passive pretty boy who lets his looks get him off the hook, whereas Meenah relies more on her royal status to try and justify herself.

I also think that they'd be very, very good for eachother if they were to actually do the self-reflection required to sort their shit out. They've got the same issues and having someone to go on that journey with might be just what the other person needs. Having someone with similar experience to relate to is a highly beneficial thing when you're taking the steps to better yourself.

I don't think it's romantic, though. Rufioh outright says that he likes Meenah being the only friend of his who hasn't hit on him. Rufioh also has some very, very unhealthy habits in romantic relationships and some very problematic attitudes towards women. Both of these are things I think Meenah would have some choice words with him about.

I also think that, if anyone's the catalyst for them sorting their shit out, it's Porrim. I've thought a lot about a scenario wherein Porrim realises the magnitude of what they both did to Damara and calls them out on harming her so fervently; as well as directly addressing Rufioh's misogyny.

Of course, there's always the alternative angle that they'd just enable their worst habits with eachother, but I think they're just different enough in the way they approach their flaws that they'd bounce off eachother in a way that benefits the other.

Most likely boils down to about six paragraphs of me talking out my ass, but I find it interesting nonetheless. I just think Rufioh Nitram needs to get his fucking act together.
