Reminder To Self:

me when I "mysteriously" feel better after I "have something to eat"

Have put off making this post bc I don’t want ppl I genuinely like and agree with on a regular basis to think I’m trashing them on like a personal level just bc I feel pretty strongly about this but I will say I’ve seen an uptick on “Jesse killed himself in Alaska” takes and headcanons and I just have to say that you are all staggeringly astonishingly incorrect like maybe yeah if we take him out of the context of the narrative he lives in which is structured like a narrative and contains overarching themes and character arcs and we all pretend that Breaking Bad is real and that New Mexico is a real place you can go to then sure, yeah, somebody in his situation might very well kill themselves. But if there are any lessons meant to be imparted to the audience by the trajectory of Jesse’s character arc, they are “endless self recrimination and self harm are actually not conducive to becoming a better person” and “letting other people decide the trajectory of your life for you is a bad decision in and of itself” and you might as well dice these themes up and melt them in a bathtub of hydrochloric acid if Jesse commits suicide post El Camino. To say that Jesse commits suicide is to take Walter White’s lying, deflated ass at face value when he tells Jesse that he could never make it on his own, that he needs Walt piloting his life for him, that he ever needed Walt more than Walt needed him, that he couldn’t possibly survive on the strength of his own merits and willpower. But he already did! He already did, in both BrBa and El Camino, and that’s what gives him the strength to go on, is just knowing that he can! And he will!

and the lord sayest unto me, "lock the fuck in"

Take Fremmy to the aquarium day !

ranking the best things I have heard surgeons say mid-surgery:

1. "Five second rule!" while scrubbed, after dropping a sterile scalpel on the floor (no they did NOT pick it up again but I swear everyone's buttholes puckered)

2. (spoken during the closing of a particularly long and difficult case) "Nurse - my tunes." :heavy metal starts blasting:

3. Gently to a fretful patient, pre-anaesthesia: "It's going to be okay. I promise, I've dealt with worse." As soon as the patient is unconscious: "This is literally the worst thing I've ever seen."

4. [okay this one was a med student] "Wowwww, that's so gross!!" Reg: "Please remember that [patient] is awake for this procedure." Student to patient: "Oh my god. I am so sorry, that was really unprofessional - " Patient, cheerfully, also engrossed with what's happening inside them on the screen: "Nah - it's, like, super gross, right?"

5. [another procedure where the patient couldn't be put under GA] Patient: *starts singing country roads midway through the procedure* Surgeon: *shrugs and joins in with surprisingly good harmony*

you will describe tummy/waist fat as a "muffin top" (yummy treat?) and "love handles" (most romantic phrase ever?) and mean it in a derogatory way? when these things are obviously good?

Hiii

I hate the sound of babies crying, but I can't hate a baby. They've been here for like five minutes and approach this situation with an unhesitant attitude of "my needs are unmet and I am going to make it everybody's problem", and I respect that.
