Blue’s Clues headcannons (and one singular question): part 5

(continuing from my main tee hee)

• HC: Josh REALLY REALLY REALLY likes playing doctor it’s like his second favorite thing to do. Medical stuff is very interesting to him

• HC: Josh will make his bed but hardly ever sleeps under the comforter because he just likes his blanket that much

• HC: During his era, Joe has a MacBook laptop and takes it everywhere. He doesn’t do anything important with it ever. He just likes to hold it, click on stuff, and play purble palace for like 3 hours. Nowadays he actually uses it but it’s from 2005 and Josh is begging him to upgrade it to something the functions more than 50% of the time (yes this bc is based off that one picture)

• Once again. I implore us to ask how old the hosts are. There’s a very specific avoidance the show has for all of them where they’re allowed to acknowledge they were once kids but aren’t allowed to literally present as adults (ex: they never cook on the stove, use ovens, or drive). They can have grandparents, but if they had parents, then it would age them to certainly be adults. But the show just. Doesn’t do this. How old are they Nickelodeon. How old.

• HC: Whenever Steve is on the phone with Miranda he’s kicking his feet and giggling. I’m talking pacing around the room and forgetting where he is bcs he’s so wrapped up in her and her voice and how much he likes her.

Thoughts on The Bears Season 2; Notoriety and Perfectionism

One of the things I would love to see in The Bear S2 (and/or beyond) is how Carmy feels about his own notoriety and deals with the stress and anxiety that brings to opening the Bear. And how that affects his relationships. No one at the Beef cares who is Carmy is, except Sydney, but food people would know and will very much care that he’s opening a new version of his family’s place. That adds an outside pressure to the Bear that Carmy been able to avoid making sandwiches at the Beef. 

Sydney would be the most impacted by his reputation and the pressure that comes with his being known, but it would ripple out to Richie not being the fine dining type, and Sugar who I think could still take or leave the restaurant in general.

Since so much of Carmy’s self-worth is tied up in his cooking as pointed out by @heardchef, being able to smoke anyone who comes into stage in New York in ep. 8, has a value to him beyond just beating the competition. It’s as much about driving himself to learn and get better. He wants to elevate the Beef because it can be better. He wants to love at the top of his game. He’s motivated by the need to be not just good or great, but the fucking best. Something more like perfect that number one. It’s not just that he could cook better than anyone who came to stage in New York was that he could beat all of them. The streak fed his ego.

Which also means he wants the best reviews and highest compliments, but only from people and places he really respects. Otherwise, it’s just something that makes him mad without adding fuel to the fire. He sees someone similar in Sydney. That she too wants to keep improving and work to be the best.

I think that’s where his line about expecting more from her comes from. That’s a compliment to him because he’s saying she’s good enough to be better than great. That he wants to work with her because she’s talented and can keep improving. (It should be noted that “I expected more from you” is the kind of thing what motivates me. In fact, it kind of turns me on that someone would see at potential in me that held me above the rest of the group.) Carmy’s faith in Syd in one of the things that he gives her. He believes she can be great and successful even when she doesn’t. And He’s unyielding in his support of her even when things are falling apart.

All of this is to say, it never felt like a coincidence that it’s the review that breaks him in ep. 7. Not because he’s jealous of the review. Or he doesn’t think she deserves the praise in a general sense. Because she wasn’t perfect*, but the dish could have been.

After he initially tastes her dish Carmy has every intention of coming back to work on it with her, but Sydney jumps the workshop. She doesn’t mean to, and he gets that as much as he can in the moment, but Carmy’s desire for perfect plus his need/ability to take his time means he puts in the work to get things as close to perfect as possible every time. I also think it hurts him that she doesn’t seem to value taking the time to get the food right or the time he’s offering her personally.

But it also makes me wonder about how the additional attention he’s going to bring the Bear will add stress to their relationship and partnership. Not just in how they approach moving forward impulsive vs intentional but also what it would means for them to get reviews that he doesn’t think are earned by the food or how they might be treated differently by the press and public. How would Carmy react to Syd getting more positive attention than he does?

 I think it would depend on whether or not he thought that praise was deserved, but then what does that do to their relationship both personally and professionally? And how does he deal with knowing she might walk like she did before? How does Sydney take slowing down? How do they both learn to really work together on things to improve each other and their food?

 Also, I really want Carmy to have to go on a local cooking show and have flashbacks to his cooking show nightmare, because his trauma is everything to me.

  *I think he gets that she’s not actually perfect which is why he keeps trying to not be mad at her and telling her everything’s fine when it’s so, so obviously not.

thinking abt my "culture" as a concept is super... strange. as a white north american. and i dont know how to articulate this beyond "its so big it's nothing" and im aware it's so so so incredibly privileged to have a big disconnect from "my culture" because it's everywhere as opposed to because people tried to stamp it out! I know. i'm just thinking out loud about how it is strange.

[on "no reblogs" just bc i dont know if im articulating this exactly as what i mean and im mostly thinking out loud in the tags]

#hello bat if you see this youve actually sparked thinkingthoughts bc of that oc question on nicola-writes skdhfksdf #anyway. #i dont know the actual CULTURAL origin of the food i eat or the clothes i wear or the music i listen to or w/e #i know its. european. presumably. and i know it's canadian/american clusterfuck. and i also know it is influenced by other cultures #on some level ! like i dont live in a bubble with NO other cultures in it but i dont rlly think anyone does lol #but like..... all the influence i can NAME is ONLY influence from /other/ cultures. not mine #i can recognize when something *isnt* part of my culture but i also dont rlly know how to define what my *culture* is beyond... #idk ! a big ol slab of White #the hallmarks of my culture are like. whiteness. overarching influence. white christianity. having everything made for ''wide audiences'' #usually just made w/people like me in mind (most popular clothes most common food most tv characters etc) #and again thats SUPER privileged. obviously. im not complaining about anything (though ofc i dont think it /should/ be like this). #this isnt a ''poor white ppl :( no culture :('' thing this is more... wow we really did just destroy our own individuality for the sake of #white supremacy didnt we. #i dont know many people around here who can name parts of French or English or German or Irish or w/e culture SPECIFICALLY #even if thats what they are. #i read somethign once written by a woman of colour talking about how she noticed that white ppl seem to sacrifice actual individual culture #for the culture of Whiteness and White Supremacy (she capitalized it like that specifically. dont remember why) #especially white north americans (its less common in other places) #which CREATES this phenomenon where we genuinely just don't participate with culture on a conscious level very often #because. its everywhere. it's the ''default assumption'' of north american society. POC & their cultures are ignored in favor of us #and we really only notice when something is *not* our culture but not when something *is* our culture bc we never have to look for it #we participate with culture. obviously. its impossible not to. but we often dont do it on purpose. #idk. thoughts!! thought times. sometimes i have a single thought in my brain #and i am aware this is like 1 perspective and also the least important perspective on race & culture ever kdjhksdjf #i am just thinking.

hi there its mawth! i had a silly lil idea…

freak who is kanata’s little sibling, who kanata constantly warns other about but no one listens. freak will gain other idol’s trust from the perspective of a young fan and then will noncon them, and tell them that no one will believe them because they’re a fan!!! super duper religious and apart of the cult as well, so if someone spoke out it would be covered up…

separate freak who is enstars sex jigsaw (from saw)

silly ideas!!!

Haiiii haiii mawth!!!!!!

Hhwehehee..... freak..... just soooo unexpecting and looks soo sweet they would neverrr do anything bad when their favorite idol is all alone......../s

It’s estimated that many more asteroids should have collided with Earth. One theory states that the moon’s gravitational pull affected some of their trajectories enough for a collision with it. It explains why the surface is riddled with scars, mostly the dark side. Is that why you call yourself Luna?

Pride Month

Today, I know who I am and what it means to feel the way I do about things. I’m Asexual. That label has never defined me or made me feel shame. It has always brought me peace and comfort to have a word that made sense and could encompass all I felt. But we aren’t all that lucky.

This month, I think back to all the moments when I didn’t know why I felt “different”. I use to think something was wrong with me and that I was the only one in the world who felt like this. In reality, my sexuality is not considered main stream and so I never knew it existed in the world. More than that though, so many people in the LGTBQA community feel lost, alone, confused, scared, and so much more.

My family has taken an “ignoring the elephant in the room” approach to dealing with my sexuality, but I know some people aren’t that lucky. I correct my family or remind them whenever they say something that is offensive or incorrect, but I am lucky to do this without fear.

This community is filled with people who faced so much for just being themselves. Some of us have coming out stories that read like nightmares and no place to go for the holidays. Some of us aren’t out to our families out or fear or insecurity. Some of us are still searching for something that makes the pieces fit. What I want for all of us is a happy and healthy life full of acceptance and love.

This Year is actually the first year I knew I was asexual, so this is the first Pride Month in the community. Happy Pride to each and everyone of you, lots of love, health, and happiness to you all! May you find happiness every month and may the world learn to embrace your wonderful regardless of sexuality or gender identity.

Adult fomo is real, man. Decisions are hard. Where to live, where to work, what to do with your life. I feel like we all grow up with these expectations for ourselves and our lives, but things don’t always go as planned, the things you want will rarely just fall right into your lap. Our future, our happiness, is in our own hands, and in ways, that’s almost scarier than the alternative. In choosing one path, you potentially miss out on another, but putting off the decision altogether, and not choosing at all, you certainly miss out on it all. Are you waiting for the perfect moment, or are you creating your own bliss? #thinkingthoughts #realizingthings #mondaymorningmotivation #pma #positivementalattitude

Korea has been a time of exploration and small victories of the modern careerist alongside a prolonged war within the soul. There have been fragmented episodes of exploration and exhilaration interspersed among a long and drawn out struggle against being smothered. The pursuit of new locales and what’s over that next hill or on the next street is still at the core, but the maneuver officer must maneuver much more cautiously than he is accustomed to. There is ruin in the restraint. To trace the contours of the Aurelian Walls once more in the still of the November night! The Via dei Latini, home away from home, hidden up the bend and around the way. To feel the warmth of the Indian Ocean about your legs by the Zanzibar beach! The very name tasting like coffee and vanilla on the tongue. To walk the Plains of Abraham once more with the love of my life! The past and the present and all the hope of our future together an unbelievable summer cocktail that I carry with me, always. I bid these days abroad from myself to hasten to their blissful conclusion. I am haunted by what it once was to be a spirit.
