Peak Unintentional Comedy In Supernatural Was The Angels Forcing Cas To Pick Between Them And Dean With

At some point I need to see to Carmy speak a little Italian not a ton but enough to make Syd all flustered and not know how to react

“Oh so we speak a Italian now”

“A little”

Sydcarmy has fully ruined my brain because I’ll be listening to any song ever and suddenly it’s about them

Does anybody have any good Sydcarmy childhood friends to lovers fic recommendations?

The fact that some people still think Syd is inferior to Carmy or that they have a mentor/mentee dynamic after Carmy HIMSELF said “I couldn’t do this without you, I wouldn’t even want to do this without you, you make better at this” is actually insane

I feel like we breezed past that guy leaving mid shift to smoke crack in the alley in the finale a little too fast

Headcanon that because there’s fanfiction about famous chefs, there’s probably fanfiction about Carmen Berzatto in The Bear universe and Syd accidentally stumbled upon it at some point while looking up something about Carmy and read it. She went down a rabbit hole of Carmen Berzatto fanfic and now she has the embarrassing secret that she’s read multiple Carmy fanfics and now they own/run a restaurant together

Actually The Bear is a really good case study on trauma being deemed as abhorrent when it’s not presented in a pretty or digestible way within media including how characters who struggle with it are seen as unlovable. Particularly within Carmen’s character and the audience’s response to his behavior in season 3. Let me start this off by saying I’m not trying excuse any of Carmy’s actions throughout s3, I’m just acknowledging that trauma and it’s effects on the traumatized individual as well the effects on people in their life are complex and unpredictable, furthermore, people who haven’t experienced trauma tend to be more judgmental than compassionate towards them. Carmy is no different; him exhibiting this behavior and a certain part of The Bear fanbase choosing to ignore his past or just plain forgetting it and acting he’s like the worst person to have ever existed for having trauma and experiencing many of it’s ugly side effects. I firmly believe that a big part of this reaction is because many people lack nuance in media and an understanding that nothing is ever truly black and white. There are many shades of grey within humanity and The Bear is one of the few pieces of media that does a wonderful job of showing that. It’s glaringly obvious that Carmy has a multitude of issues that need to be addressed before he can run a successful restaurant and maintain healthy relationships. But None of that makes him an irredeemable or horrible person. It makes him a flawed human being that needs help who is also deserving of love and support. Trauma is far from beautiful and I’m tired of people acting like it needs to be portrayed in media in a sanitized way that erases all the hardships that come with it because they feel uncomfortable when they’re shown the gritty, raw, vulnerable truth of what trauma really is; of what it really does to a person. Carmy is no exception, he is struggling with his mental health in a way that is not pretty and wrapped up in a bow and people can’t handle it because we’re being shown the reality of it. He is angry, lashing out, spiraling, handling his emotions the only way he knows how by throwing himself into his work. I won’t deny that he has treated the people in his life poorly and he will need to earn their forgiveness in his own time. Yet none of that makes him any less worthy of love and patience. He needs professional help but he will only reach out when he’s ready too and even then it won’t go away over night. It can take months, and possibly years to truly heal from every thing he’s been through and after all of that he will still have bad days and he will still be just as worthy of love on those days as he is on the good ones. Struggling with trauma will never make anybody underserving of being treated with kindness or compassion and it will never make anyone any less worthy of being loved.

Not to hate on Claire x Carmy by any means (ship what you want idc) but I just want to know why your ideal ship is traumatized man x girl who constantly reminds him of his past. Not even the good parts either, the part where his family who he already has a turbulent relationship with is pressuring him to be with her. I understand the whole childhood friends to lovers thing but they clearly aren’t it, yes she says she loves him but that’s not true, she loves the idea of him she had when they were like 15 but that’s not who he is anymore and vice versa. Childhood friends to lovers is supposed to represent growth and change but Carmy and Claire are still holding on to their childhood versions of each other, they’re both holding on to a high school crush and that’s not what Carmy needs. Carmy needs to move on and start his healing journey but he can’t do that if he’s white knuckling a childhood crush trying to make it into something it’ll never be. That’s why the panic attack scene is so significant, Claire is the dark and upsetting past that Carmy’s stuck in but Sydney is the bright and hopeful future he could have if he just allows himself to let go of the past and move forward with his life

he’s gonna destroy me

Can’t wait for Sydcarmy to have several incredibly intimate scenes that can only be explained as romantic in s3, so the antis can get mad and Chris Storer can gaslights us
