This girl I know use to work there. I go in there for breakfast one morning. They have two seating areas an indoor area and like a little courtyard. I’m in the indoor area talking to her, and she’s like folding towels and shyt because nobody else was in there at the time.

I told her I was going to sit outside, and she was like she was going to be out there in a second. When I walk out there he was sitting in the corner with somebody else.

He goes “I can’t get no help around here?”
I look at him like :what: “why are you asking me that?” “Does it look like I work here?”

I turn to sit down and he goes “we got Mr. Smart mouth over there, we been waiting here for 10 minutes”

Once again I look at the nikka like :what:. I said “I don’t give a fukk how long you’ve been waiting here, I don’t fukkin work here, stop talking to me

He said you better check your attitude. I hopped up out that chair so quick, and started walking over towards that nikka. But while I was walking over there the girl I knew ran up and grabbed me she had heard us. I ended up going to sit in the indoor area

I was getting ready to fire on that clown. I had just got with TDE too so I was really feeling myself LMAO

Nah, he was a great character.

His arc wasn't just about him being a crackhead.

There are layers to his character, I guess it just depends on how the viewer chooses to see him. Season 4 was the most depressing when it came to his development, where he finally hit rock bottom, but in the worst way possible after promising himself he wouldn't fall that hard.

Not to be a snob, but OP is probably the type to not really understand the whole basis of The Wire and its array of characters, skipping seasons and shyt; just watching it for the action, and there's nothing wrong with that...

However, I know it's been said before, but to watch The Wire, you gotta really pay attention to every detail and connect the dots; it's not like your average show based on crime, police, etc, where the writers make it easy for you to understand without thinking too hard, The Wire is different in that regard, it's supposed to be thought-provoking when it comes to highlighting societal issues and how it affects the people within it and their motives for why they do the things they do which were forced upon due to these issues:manny:.

We get all that.

Just because a character has an arc and is fleshed out doesn't behoove viewers to take a liking to them.

Because the cycle.
Nothing was fixed

When Dookie made the choice to live with the crackheads

"They accept me"

:wow:

his story was easily the saddest
I lowkey cried
dookie just wanted to be apart of something

he knew it was a bad idea
but nobody was giving him that love except for maybe mr presbo:to:
