Imagine Sydney getting offered her own restaurant and she can have her dream spot and be in full control by a poacher because they want to work with her. The poacher sees all the great work that’s went into the Bear and they head about the dishes she’s made and they want Sydney, and Carmy hears about it.

Carmy and Sydney have that argument that is obviously being built up too and by the end it completely mirrors the “Sydney quitting scene”. Carmy is just angry that Sydney was going to walk out on him and all the work they’ve put in. (It’s shown in the freezer scene that the memory of Sydney quitting enrages him, if you look at the montage). So when he hears the inside scoop from someone else that Sydney is leaving, his eyes go bloodshot.

He ends up saying crazy shit like “If you want to leave, leave. I don’t need you. Just leave.”

And Sydney is confused (to mirror Carmy in the quitting scene) like “What? What? Leave?”

And Carmy is just doubling down and spiraling like Mikey, refusing to let her in, pushing her out. “Just leave, I don’t want you here. So go.”

And Sydney just looks so heartbroken as she collects her things but the silence is palpable. And Carmy is fuming and refuses to look at her like the last time. Later, he runs into the poacher/inside scoop person/whomever.

And they’re like “It’s wild how people work.”

And Carmy is quiet but refuses to acknowledge that he regrets what he said. And says something along the lines of “Sydney got what she wanted. Good for her.”

And the person is just like “such a shame though.”

“What’s a shame?”

“That she turned it down.”

“What?”

“Yeah, she said she didn’t want to leave. That she didn’t want the offer.”

And the whole world just collapses on Carmy because he realizes what he did and what he said to her.

I KNOW ITS ANGST! I know! Fic writers, is this something?

The Bear: A Kitchen Nightmare

I'm watching Kitchen Nightmares (2023) on HULU. In "Love Bites" (s1 ep 6), Gordon Ramsey briefly mentioned the mental health issue in the culinary industry.

This episode focused on a couple who own a restaurant, struggling immensely but wanting to make it work. The female owner has medical issues (some GI related) and the male owner is highly anxious, lashing out at everyone - particularly the female owner who is his fiancée. The family try to cushion the stress/help out while enabling troubling interactions.

...

So, who's going to write this fic?

#the bear #kitchen nightmares #kitchen nightmares 2023 #love bites #this was too much like the bear in some ways #the bear hulu #the bear fx #sydcarmy #sydney adamu #carmen berzatto #chef’s kiss #but for real I think this could be a legit fic and I want to write it but it's cold out and I have soup to make #this would be a great fic #has anyone done a kitchen nightmare/the bear fic #all our chef folks are great but what if they aren't because we're still in the early days of The Beef and things be tight #i want to write this or maybe outline this #i'll outline this and could someone write this #food

THEY WOULD NOT FUCKING SAY THAT

#bolo liveblogs #you're telling me robby ''just finished lashing out at miguel because he thought he was taking up too much of johnny's attention'' keene #would just be cool with johnny having another kid?? #miguel doesn't have the same baggage with him but consider: son of a single mom who loves her so much and *knows* how johnny treats women #them having such uncomplicated happy reactions to finding out johnny and carmen are having a baby is so jarring #also the way the pregnancy is explicitly an accident but abortion is never even considered as an option... def a more conservative season #(and that's saying something for cobra kai)

My understanding that rc structurally needs to slow burn a bit back together to be 100 percent satisfying vs my need for them to make out get married and live happily ever after at next sight

#red crackle #red crackle thoughts #carmen x gray #carmen x graham #gray x carmen #graham x carmen #text #and bro ...i did wait YEARS once omfg what was wrong with them #and the part of me loves and would relish all the little minutia of the crap and trauma and growth needed before they kiss kiss stay in love #but also why are they not making out rn hmmm??

Sometimes i hate you guys

#i mean hate in a light hearted way im just annoyed and very eye twitching peeved #no ayin didnt want to be a savior #no the light its not completely free and it explains why carmen still has a hold on people with her view on self love #ayin is literally the path for self improvement #yes he hurt angela deeply and fucked up #he is literally one sin and hundred of good deeds #the scenario has to happen because if everything was just solved like angela did in that lor flashback the root cause of the trauma will #still be there for the sephirot #they would not heal completely #there is a lot more but i dont wanna keep checking and rechecking a post #ghost sufre una descompostura

#i think about her Often #...she's so tragic you don't even understand #all she wanted was to experience love in her own way #escamilo does the exact same as her #but no one villanizes him for it because he's a man (and white) #girl i'll fight don josé for you #he'll crumble like wet paper under the wrath of my fists #I'M SCREAMING SHE JUST WANTED TO BE FREE #SHE WAS FINE UNTIL SOME CATHOLIC MAN DECIDED HE DIDN'T LIKE HER FREEDOM #and like yeah i can see where he's coming from bc finding out your girlfriend cheated while you were in jail sucks #but my guy she was not your girlfriend #she briefly seduced you. you're just delusional. #i bet she would have been so much happier with escamilo #my music history teacher said they'd have a very happy open relationship #and i agree #but NO #her scary ex had to STAB HER #carmen was upfront about it from the start #she walks on stage like “my name is carmen and i hate committed relationships” #anyway i think about her so much #alto character of all time..... carmen bizêtoperacharacter....... #opera tag #ramblies #not writing #sorry for the excess of tags #operablr #carmen spoilers #i mean is that a thing????

Also Scott:

#ok but it’s it not the most wholesome thing it the world that Scott came up with MR #like not that I would actual believe he would want to skate to AC/DC #But MOULIN ROUGE #Like WOW boy #and that he had the artistic intuition to know how to do it new and different and make it their story #that he knew the kind of movement he wanted to do #he had the vision and all that was missing was Tessa’s love for it #and he had it #imagine the inner pressure he would’ve had if it didn’t get them gold #like I know he says they wouldn’t regret it but like if it hadn’t been the right choice #and they had to start all over #her would never forgive himself if he let Tessa down #but it was perfect for them #it was what they never got to with Carmen #and he loves Carmen so much because of what it did for Tessa #what she got to show #prove to everyone the athlete and artist he knows and loves #that he wanted to give her this character and storyline #he is one very special little cinnamon roll #virtuemoir #tessa and scott #pyeongchang olympics #fd: moulin rouge

Okay, so I was just looking up Spanish words (no reason) and apparently “Jefe” means boss, although it’s expanded and used more liberally in Spanish (like you might use it as a term of endearment)

Now, this might be FULL BRAIN WORMS here, but ya’ll know how Tina calls Carmy “Jeff” (to, I assume, mock his thing of “Chef”~)

But, what if she’s just fucking with the Spanish word of “Jefe” (Boss)?? Now “Jefe” is pronounced “Heh-feh”. but like the spelling similarity between Jeff/Jefe is too close. I am LOOKING. 

Also, even once Tina comes around to The Bear’s new policies and cooking routines, like she still calls Carmy “Jeff” so....I’m just....over here thinking. 

#the bear fx #the bear hulu #tina the bear #carmen berzatto #carmy berzatto #i would love to get someone who actually speaks Spanish to give me their thoughts because i might just be being FULL BRAIN WORMS #and connecting dots that aren't actually there

I’d love to hear your thoughts (as well as any predictions for the next season with them running the new restaurant as partners) regarding Carmy and Sydney’s dynamic in the show?

You mean I need to have thoughts beyond the fact that they deserve to have equally fuck-nasty and heartfelt sex even though it’s definitely a bad idea to sleep with your business partner, Anon??

Joking aside, their dynamic is lovely. It’s probably my favourite one on the show, which really is saying something when there’s so many good ones.

Honestly, I think a lot of it is in the eyes. Both Ayo and Jeremy have wonderfully expressive eyes and that does much of the heavy lifting. The way she’s so aware of him and his reactions to her work all the time and the way he stares at her so tenderly when she isn’t looking at him. They really see each other, instant connection.

Like, come on, can’t help but be obsessed!

I love how they’re extremely similar in their drive and ambition and what they want for their restaurant, and yet entirely different as well, which I think is very much shaped by their experiences in the industry. While they’re both shell shocked because of their journeys, Carmy tried and succeeded and Sydney tried and failed – she’s got something to prove, he doesn’t. At least not professionally.

I love how Carmy validates her skill and her talent at (almost) every step of the way in a way, but that he also tells her when she’s moving too fast, when her inexperience gets the better of her.  And I love how Sydney does not just let him steam roll over her, she knows her skill level and her worth and she is gonna stand her ground because of that. I think there’s real potential for them to both balance out each other’s worst impulses and buff up each other’s best sides going forward.

And piggy-backing off of that, Sydney doesn’t come back because the writers try to make her act the saviour to him. She comes back because of their shared dream, when they’re both ready to become equal partners in a new venture. Love that.

As for predictions, I don’t have that many actually, season 1 took so many delightful twists and turns that I’m pretty sure I’m gonna be happy with the direction the writers are gonna take things.

But I have really high hopes for the way they’re going to explore the challenges that comes with professional partnership when their dreams for the place – despite how similar it is for the most part – are inevitably gonna collide.

And of course I do hope they’re gonna give us the most delicious, torturous slow burn romance. Because as much as I enjoy the idea of them hooking up, I want the show runners to drag out the tension until I absolutely cannot stand it and wanna bury my face into my pillows and scream. Because they still have much more growth as people to get through before they can get to a romantic relationship.

They both eat Marcus’ floor donut, do we really need any other proof that they’re made for each other?!

#thank you so much for the ask anon #wrote this while hungover but I hope it makes sense #because I love them actually #carmen x sydney #I still think Carney would be a hilarious ship name for them #owl asks #the bear

[lobpoints]

Favorite kind of PM are the ones that ship/create a gay dynamic something where it’s actually intended by the author for one of those dudes to have romantic feelings for the other but the PM fan in question doesn’t realize this and thus completely misreads their relationship this is about Benjamin to Ayin btw

#I dont actively looking out for shipping content of them but my god how can yall be like ''I love gay people'' #and ignore that a large part of Benjamin character is him literally being gay #especially in LC where a lot of his sentiments are specifically interpersonal and lot less ''oughhh ayin grand plan'' #mf literally admitted after his suppression that he has been overly vebrose about the intention behind all his actions #but in actuality it because he wanted to stay by A side even if A started to scare him with his actions #because for him living in a world without A is more tormenting than living in ACTUAL HELL #can yall be ffr #also due to the way his relationship with A is paralle with A relationship with Carmen if PM fans do realize this and then realize #their relationship are unhealthy under many degree they would double back since it would be TOO SCARY and carmen cant be TOO SCARY #''if Benjamin wasnt gay he wouldnt even be in LC tbh narratively and thematically speaking'' - my friend in our dm

my grandma gave me this document where the whole family of my grandad (on his father's side) appears sort of as a primitive 'libro de familia' and now i know the names and birth dates of my great great grandparents and my great grandfather i need a moment

#my great grandparents were pedro justo nemesio born on december 19 1875 #and ana maría del carmen bruna born on october 6 1874 #and my great grandfather was pedro félix born on july 10 1901 #i even have the name of his godparents 🥲 #also this makes me 💖💖💖 because my grandparents are called pedro and ana maría #so this cycle has always been like this huh #i would love to know the place they were born but this is a lot honestly #it's enough #it's all handwritten so i'm trying to descipher everything lol #also for some historical context #when my great great grandparents were born the first republic had just failed #the third carlist war was going on because it was the 19th century after all #alfonso xii was proclaimed king like 2 months after my great great grandmother was born #she literally was born when there was a political limbo in the country #oh and cuba puerto rico and the philipines were still part of spain #meanwhile when my great grandfather was born #roosevelt was proclaimed president of the usa #and alfonso xiii was king of spain #just lol

[grahamcarmen]

what measures do you think carmen and gray take to protect the kiddos, like their kids are the children of two super thieves who are despised by the worlds oldest criminal organisation, their maternal grandfather is also hated and then there's the added grudge of their biological maternal grandfather like there's a lot of bad family blood.

i have no idea how gray is gonna react because he's a big "use the resources available to him no matter how shady" person oh no...lmao [its ok he's getting better standards...slightly] and his arc has him playing the more active part in defending his love...so um...if it involves the kids?

[gah how sucky when you phrase it like that , VILE just zeroing in on them because they're trying to get theyre footing back]

and carmen in general is very good at mostly keeping herself off the radar but VILE has shown themselves very good at capturing people they at least think is important to carmen + the train with brunt and the cleaners...gah..

but very big into imposing on chief to constantly keep them off cameras [like imagine how upset that would make the kiddos at the do as i say not as i do couple when they wanna be good show off thieves too </3], definitely taught them to be prepared for a fight, had ivy hook them up with drones [offense hardly taken because they love them so much], direct line to player , maayyyybe this makes carmen hesitant to let them go to school for a bit? [idk if she homeschools because hey she can teach them a lot about the world since she goes all over it or because of the way she talked to sonia and jokes to player that she's all about education + really wanted friends on the isle if she wishes she had a normal school experience], RC definitely 0____0 during babies first missions until they're confident they can take care of themselves [actually maybe a conversation between carmen and kiddos about wanting to have faith in their abilities and carmen is like o-o ] [gray is also called out for his chill attitude supposedly when he was literally yanking wires and knocking out people before they even got near the site]

situation wise it would be very bad if the kids did get captured...since RC tends to just beeline to the solution that gets them out efficiently regardless of traps or danger to themselves

but in the end RC do lean more to just trusting that they prepared the kids well enough... so lol if they just arrive to a headquarters of the VILEnappers in chaos like <3 those are the babies

#asks #rc kiddos #i actually love pressing up they're defensive traits up for their kiddos lol because...look at what they did for each other #or even the lengths carmen goes to everyday #sorry if the answer desired was would gray kill someone....he'd be tempted! #and carmen has been shown to play along with VILE until she gets the drop on them ala sibs kidnapped #or show up at their doorstep angry because they have something she wants. ala s2 ending when she didn't even know they weren't there + gray #red crackle thoughts
