Take a Step

so I found this image

and decided to make a more accurate version of it

is Jesse Pinkman from the critically acclaimed american drama series Breaking Bad... actually transgender? a video I've been working on for the last ten million years

The Thematic Relevance of Jesse Pinkman as an Egg 🏳️‍⚧️

(I wrote this analysis awhile back and wanted to make a fresh post to update it!)

While not intentional, there is a lot in Breaking Bad that supports reading Jesse as an egg. This reading of Jesse has a lot of thematic and narrative relevance and also doesn’t create any conflicts with the canon material. Jesse being someone who hasn’t realized he’s not actually a man yet could quite literally be canon.

This analysis is heavily based around parallels between Jesse’s character development and what Breaking Bad thematically associates with gender. It’s also heavily interconnected with the show’s overarching theme of change, and also, at least for our two main characters of Walt and Jesse, the revealing of true self. There’s plenty of evidence that each of them already had the traits we see them with at the end of Breaking Bad. Jesse being this very kind and compassionate young adult and Walt being this egotistical monster.

But I would consider Walt’s self-deception to be more shallow than Jesse’s self deception. While Walt did end up in a lifestyle that was opposed to who he truly was, he consciously knew what he wanted to some extent, whereas Jesse fully convinced himself that he was a different person than the one he truly is because he never really got the chance to actually figure out much about himself. 

There are a lot of examples of Jesse’s disconnected sense of self throughout the show, but the first one that comes to mind has to do with his superhero OCs-

I’m new has this been done yet

literally obsessed with this its been in mh head for days

let’s cook

I FINALLY drew Jesse in clothes I've wanted to draw him in forever!! I've had a picture of that weed girl shirt saved to my phone forever and while I'm not into Sonic myself I see friends and mutuals post about transfem Metal Sonic so.... since Jesse canonically likes Sonic and I think she's transfem herself (I made a video essay that is an analysis of transfem Jesse if anyone is interested!!) I just had to draw him in a Metal Sonic shirt which @borrelia designed!!

I'm still not truly satisfied with my stylization of Jesse or really with how I draw humans in general but hey, I'll get there eventually...

self reblogging this again but also adding my fav endorsement of this reading of Jesse that I've gotten so far

Breaking Bad could easily have an episode where Walter touches a crystal and it makes him seperate into multicolored different parts of his personality and Jesse has to try and put them back together

LMAOOOOOO
