I went back 10+ pages, I'm still not sure who Hoarderman is, I'm sorry to ask, could you please tell me how Jimmy is mixed up with Hoarderman and who he is? Thank you..
just to add some of the more basic stuff - they met because hoarderman's car broke down and jimmy stumbled on him. jimmy doesn't have irl friends in vermont so he's said part of the benefit of the relationship is that hoarderman shares some interests with him and they both keep each other company.
obviously jimmy is prone to saying stupid shit so his long term goal doesn't make sense but what he's said he wants is to fix structural problems with the house, clear out a recording studio that is apparently inside it, then clear the overgrown land so he can do big creative projects with friends on it
it's why he talked with delaney about visiting that thing her ex boyfriend was running out of a church because it was a bunch of artists living in a building doing drugs.
if you excise hoarderman from this and say, jimmy, we're gonna let you do creative stuff, you just have to do it for fishtank, and you have to pay taxes on what we pay you and come in when we agree you will and work with other people and take direction so that we know you're doing stuff the safe/productive way, it feels like a full upgrade considering how much work he does at hoarderman's that is unpaid, dangerous, and immediately undone by hoarderman wasting the money or cleared plants growing back, etc. and if his work on hoarderman's only pays off if he gets to build his weird retarded utopia there, at least working somewhere else gives him financial progress week by week instead of an uncertain, basically impossible payoff.
shin jimmy, jimmy 2.0, groundskeeps for the outdoor .5 seasons in the perfect world where fishtank keeps going for many years building weird Burning Man bullshit in the woods
