Oh that would be the most epic finale for Lucas.
I get that ice cream is his comfort food but first of all, why the fuck is he eating that in this time of the year in Spokane? Secondly, why Ben and Jerry's? That's pricey for how little you're actually getting out of it and that's even worse for Lucas given how much of a useless broke loser he is.
That is exactly why lucas buys it. One of lucas's fundamentally ingrained beliefs is that expensive = good = makes wern look plenty good to potential breeding baes. Its why he'll brag about going to the most expensive restaurant he can afford, and buy the most expensive steak or whatever on the menu he can, while whining about how he's living in a homeless shelter in the same post. Its why his typical attraction videos include such things as
if you date me we can go out for these expensive steaks at clinkerdaggers every week as if that is supposed to be enticing, when in reality it highlights just how poor he is and would have the exact opposite effect on a woman. This is the same thing on a smaller scale because he doesn't have the money to do anything more expensive with his tugboat going mostly to mallon place. Now its
hey look at how sophisticated I am! I can buy expensive shitty ice cream! Date me lady zoom! Even when he doesn't explicitly say it, its always what he's trying to get across. Its also because lucas is an obese, entitled little shit who thinks he deserves the best of everything. He'd be like cartman with a hot tub full of KFC gravy that he sits in and gorges himself on if he could afford it
Remember, lucas's MO has always been to blow whatever money he has rather quickly on the most expensive food he can get his hands on, put out some screenshots or videos to various social media accounts bragging about it and then spend the rest of the month whining about how broke he is while he lives in poverty in a homeless shelter. Its one of the main reasons he has a payee and has to be given an allowance weekly by said payee after his essentials get paid for. Otherwise he would have never had his fartboxes at all and would have just spent all the money on food, weed and booze in the first few days of the month and lived in the shelter or woods and stuffed himself on whatever he could get from the shelters for the rest of the month. He'd do it now if his payee didn't make sure mallon place got their money first. Lucas seethes about it constantly, which is why he keeps trying to get these as low effort as possible jobs and why he was so pleased with himself when he thought he had it made laundering crypto, to the point he was literally starting to talk about 'vacationing' in hawaii next year, before his 'job' blew up in his face
As I pointed out in a previous post, to those unaware of his history and behavior lucas comes off as a spastic lunatic who is all over the place. and he is, but to those who become familiar with his history a very specific pattern to his crazy emerges and lucas becomes remarkably easy to read and predict, to an almost eerie degree. His future behavior is predictable to an almost uncanny degree. Its why people who tend to make a point of overtly fucking with him tend to pull it off exceedingly well and can manipulate him into all kinds of situations that any normal person would have seen as blatantly obvious fucking with him. It works because those people understand not only how he acts and behaves but why he behaves that way because they understand how he sees himself and what his twisted worldview is, and his rightful place in it, at least as far as he sees himself. Its why he was so easy to catfish to spokane and to LA, and why, if someone was determined to do it again and was willing to put the effort in, they'd be able to do it again. Fundamentally, no matter how many times lucas gets fucked with or fucks himself over he never, ever truly learns and always ends up repeating his previous mistakes. Lucas is pathologically stupid and pathologically greedy and those two things always win out over caution and common sense, even when he is legitimately suspicious of something. He'll always find a way to rationalize it and thus justify going for it regardless of the consequences. Look how he did it with the LA saga (
she's real! she sent me pictures! she spent over $100 on a plane ticket! thats a huge amount of money nobody would spent just to fuck with me! never mind that she added a lap infant named itsnotinthecards werner to my ticket info! that doesn't mean anything at all! and hey LA is great anyway! lots of tacos and skid row is full of nice people!) and more recently with the crypto job (
i'll exploit it as long as possible! i'm the smart one! I have chatlogs that will totally make sure I don't get in trouble! never mind that the bank and paypal froze my accounts!) I mean hell, almost as soon as he got back from LA he got catfished
again. Literally, and ended up having his famous rant when his date turned out to be a bag of frozen catfish delivered to him at his motel 6 room by uber eats. Thats how stupid, greedy and predictable he is
