so embarrassing to have a favorite character honestly. like yes that's my specialest guy 🙄 yes i have 200 photos of him saved 😑 if i don't look at him or hear him talk every 2 minutes i'll start killing the hostages 😕 i think about him every day. because he's my favorite. whatever
The way literally every single player in Third Life except Jimmy got to see how hard Scott fell apart after Jimmy died. Everyone else saw, talked, whispered with pity, as Scott became reckless and dazed with grief only to die uncharacteristically early in the finale. Except for Jimmy.
When Jimmy saw Scott for the last time in Third Life, Scott was in control as he always was, and when Jimmy saw Scott again in Last Life, Scott was in control again.
I always get the sense that Jimmy still sees Scott as unshakable, or something close to it, to this day. Jimmy always expects Scott to be in control of any given situation, to be level headed, observant, diplomatic, and on top of things. Even up to the most recent season.
Because Jimmy is the only person in the life series (who was present for third life, at least) who doesn't fully understand how hard Scott can shatter under the right circumstances, who didn't get to see it with his own eyes (and did anyone even tell him?), despite the fact that Scott's biggest moment of weakness was over Jimmy.
It's just fascinating to me guys.

"Scott and Jimmy are divorced-" actually Scott was widowed.
Which is very nitpicky, obviously, because. They're both currently alive and also no longer married. So divorced is a pretty fitting term.
But I think it's been so long since Thirdlife that we too easily forget when Scott was widowed.
Coming home to silence, to an empty house that was usually full of banter and laughter. He finds the cake he made Jimmy earlier that day, something he pranked Jimmy with, something they laughed about. It would stay uneaten now. He holds the Pufferish of Peace, a silly little misspelling that was just so Jimmy, one of the last things to remind Scott of him. It's quiet.
The rest of Scott's life was pretty short and miserable. He lost all his lives in pretty quick succession and the whole time after Jimmy died he was "dazed" as Bdubs put it. More violent and reckless than he'd been before (hadn't scott been the one to warn jimmy not to antagonize or get himself in trouble?), more dulled and unfocused than before. And then he died alone.
I think it's important to remember that Scott was widowed, not divorced. Losing Jimmy wasn't a mutual decision, or even something Jimmy asked for. It was sudden and violent and unfair. It broke Scott for the rest of the season. And Scott didn't even get to process it, really, living a short and miserable life and then being thrown into the next season where he was told nothing from before matters.
But it does matter. It festers and hurts and smothers. Not always, and it seems to get less as the seasons go on (or maybe scott just gets better at hiding how much love and grief buries him every time he sees someone he once called a partner), but when there are moments where Scott brings up their marriage, whether he's trying to get Jimmy's attention or being petty toward Jimmy, I feel like we don't analyze it enough through the lens of Scott as a widow.
this should not have gagged me as hard as it did
