NOVAKCEEESSSSSSST OMG IT SHOULD BE LASS' BIRTHDAY EVERY DAY
And more than that. Season one novakcest. When they're still relearning what it's like to look at one another, that vague touch of vertigo when the mirror image doesn't match what should be there. That brittle edge of tension that Jacobs keeps joking about and prodding at with little nudges and winks and Jimmy's started grinding his teeth at night.
So, 'Faith' right? It's Jimmy with the crapped out heart and all he wants to do is go say goodbye to Amelia and he's furious, furious when Jacob pulls up in the mud outside a tent. snarling "THIS you believe in? THIS?" and tugging the MIT sweater like he wants to rip it off and strangle his brother with it because he remembers eighteen christmases and easters of Jacob's eyes rolling all the way through mass. and Jacob is like, I WILL BELIEVE IN ANYTHING THAT WILL SAVE YOU, his hands gripping the steering wheel too tight, avoiding Jimmy's eyes. and when the service starts and Jimmy gets called up he feels sick because Jacob closes his eyes and prays with the whole congregation, he was never willing to pray to save his own damn soul but he'll do this, the fucking bastard.
Oh my god yes, Jacob's faith entirely centered around Jimmy, utterly pragmatic and that's not fair, Jacob, that's cheating, but Jacob will break whatever rules he must. It turns out, in the end, that the healing had nothing to do with God at all, and Jacob just shrugs and pulls further into he skepticism. He got what he wanted.
AND DO THEY THINK OF THIS INCIDENT, LATER, WHEN JACOB IS GOING TO HELL AND JIMMY IS THE ONE BREAKING RULES?
OH MY GOD JACOB/ATROPOS, FUCK DESTINY BUT LITERALLY. JIMMY/ATROPOS WOULD HAVE ALL THESE SAD SHADES OF THE THINGS JIMMY USED TO BELIEVE IN, THE PERSON HE USED TO BE, AND SHE WANTS TO GIVE HIM A PATH TO FOLLOW AGAIN AND OH IT WOULD BE SO EASY.
AHAHAHAHA THEY SHOULD USE BLINDFOLDS. IS THREADKINK A THING? WHAT ABOUT SCISSORS?
Poor Jimmyyyyyyyy. Ahaha I bet there is some Oedipal shit mixed in there, as though Jimmy doesn't have enough incest in his life, because Sally too gave orders with the implicit promise that following them would keep him safe.
OMG BONDING WITH CAS ABOUT REGRETTABLE THINGS. CRANK UP THE SASSY TO ELEVEN.
AHAHAHA ATROPOS DOESN'T GIVE A FUCK, HUMANS ARE DUMB ANYWAY AND SHE HAS ALWAYS HAD A CERTAIN SADISTIC STREAK IN WATCHING THE MESSES THEY MAKE.
AUGH AUGH AUGH BECAUSE SHE IS TIMELESS, JUST LIKE CAS, SHE HAS SEEN THE PATHS OF THEIR LIVES EVEN THOUGH THE SHAMBLE OF PROPHECIES UNDONE BLOCKS HER VIEW OF THE FUTURE. She promises Jimmy stability in hopes he can give it to her.
