[breaking bad] notmeta!flail | "and you rip out all I had just to say that you've won..."
There are less than 24 hours to go, people. I'm not even going to insult you by elaborating. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

Although I think I'm still conflicted about Walt I really do just want to see what happens. In some ways I want Walt to accidentally kill Jesse and realise who he has become and have to live with that and all it entails. But then I also want Walt to live with his actions and realise how he has long since lost touch with what it truly means to be family. Other parts of me just want Walt to die alone in a hospital bed with nobody there because I think that would be the worst thing that he could imagine. But mostly I just want to know how it goes. I don't care. Anything is fine by me because I know that it will be totally fitting. And I think, reading between the lines, that's what you mean? That everything so far has lead to this and it's been an amazing ride and you trust that the last 75 minutes will be everything that you need it to be. ME TOO.

I will never be able to look at that gif and not consider putting all of my books on the floor and rolling around though.

I've completely disconnected my CAPSLOCKFLAIL level feelings for the SHOW from my feelings for the characters as individual, fully realised PEOPLE in their own right. In fact, I don't HAVE feelings for the characters as individual, fully realised people in their own right.
This has never happened to me before. And I can't really put my finger on why it has happened now, at least, not beyond the fact that the story behind BrBa is basically flaw-free in my opinion!! I've been thinking about Walt vs Frank Underwood for example. I know I've metaed about Walt before, but, thinking back, my Walt opinions have always been about the story first and foremost. Like, I have never considered redemption for Walt, not because I don't think it's possible or because he doesn't deserve it, but because I don't think it would service the STORY that Vince has been trying to tell. On the other hand, Frank Underwood? I totally want him caught. I want everything that he's done, all the people he's set up, all the evil that he's wreaked, to be brought out into the open. I want him to pay. I DO NOT KNOW WHY I'VE HAD SUCH A DIFFERENT REACTION TO HIM/THAT SHOW!!!!!!!!!!
And I think, reading between the lines, that's what you mean? That everything so far has lead to this and it's been an amazing ride and you trust that the last 75 minutes will be everything that you need it to be. This is EXACTLY what I mean. I don't need for there to be punishments doled out. I don't need retribution or revenge or redemption or for different characters to 'get what's coming to them'. I just need the story to play out... in whichever form it takes.
This is why I can't say what I want the finale to be. What I think would be a fitting conclusion. Because it's not about WHAT I WANT. For me, it's never been about what I want. It's been about the story, the characterisation, the cinematography. And now, it's about how Vince wants to finish it. That is the only honest answer I can give to that question.
I want what Vince gives me.
I think this is also why I find writing and reading fic in this fandom to be nearly impossible.
