ESCAPING INTO A SHIP

So what exactly made me latch onto the Sydcarmy ship like a leech on a water buffalo?

It was unexpected (for me)! Yes, the very first meeting between Syd and Carm did make an impact. I thought "Oooh, what's this?!" However, Carmy was/is such a mess that I quickly dismissed it. And Sydney just seemed to want his professional approval and a partner in making something great after the soul-crushing failure of Sheridan. So, the first season I personally didn't feel a mutual sexual/romantic tension, more like an automatic respect and shared goals/passions. Sydney nor Carm were obviously trying to flirt. Most slow burns on TV are 100% obvious like a Jeanine and Gregory (Abbott Elementary), Nick and Jess (New Girl), Jake and Amy (Brooklyn 99), Jim and Pam (The Office)...Until Braciole Ep. 8 that is.

S. 1 Episode 8- I won't get into everything but Carmy was desolate. Yes, he became a psycho chef and two people quit in Ep.7. However, he mourned Sydney more than Marcus. She was in his flashback/nightmare (?), then the way he told Tina that she looked like Syd (the poor pup), him texting her before opening the note from Mikey, and finally the most gorgeous locked gaze scene since Pride and Prejudice (2005). The soft lighting, the music, the colors, the mind-reading...magical. I still didn't get it initially. Silly, blind me.

Mentorship where??? Season 2 Carm and Syd's "mentorship" dynamic is pretty much over. They are true partners and spending more time together. They're dressing alike even when not in uniform, finishing each other's sentences or talking in unison. Sydney is opening up more of herself and Carm is asking to know more. They use the ASL sign for sorry with each other and no one else until ep 10. Then there's that locker scene in ep. 1 or 2, when they almost hang out just cause. However, Carmy misses the moment and there's the return of the kicked pup face. Before being on the ship I was delighted with all of their scenes and was looking forward to the food tour. They just ROCK together on screen.

Classic Love Triangle- Who's Claire? She's "Claire Bear", the prototypical "cool girl", who is willing to chase an socially awkward, wrong-number-giving man, despite being a pretty ER resident with no shortage of options. Did a CW writer get hired? Anyways, why was her presence used almost exclusively to put strain on Carmy and Sydney's relationship instead of The Bear generally? We could have had scenes with Nat, Richie, and Marcus arguing with Carmy about him being distracted due to Claire. They saved 99% of that for Sydney. They CHOSE to insert her in between or just after scenes with him and Claire. Showing Sydney's tattoos and her getting dressed with the stained chef's coat juxtaposed with them was WILD.

I LOVE that both believe their interpersonal problems are solely about The Bear/business partnership. In most "slowburns" the characters are far more conscious and actively work to keep things platonic. Jeremy might be a smidge aware that Sydney means more to him after the panic attack, but I bet he's shoved it down. All he knows afterward is that being with Claire feels wrong hence ignoring her call and recommitting to SYDNEY. He could of said "You all/This/The Bear deserve my full focus etc..." He was also nagged into greeting Claire at Friends and Family, seemed anxious when Fak brought her up right before The Table scene, and also while explaining that "she's great" to Sydney. He was at peace when focused on Sydney in the moment below.

The actors: Jeremy and Ayo's real life friendship is warms my soul and their chemistry onscreen is amazing. DON'T WASTE IT!!!

Jeremy smolders on screen. I want to see Carmy continue to stare, yearn, fall, then eventually confess and for Sydney to reciprocate his feelings. Anyhoo, does anyone else melt when Carm means business?! They do this twice in season one and it's not good for me. Whew, I need to clean my whole house or run a few miles.

Finally, there's so many other parallels between these two. They are fearful avoidants, have a missing or dead parent, jacked up stomachs, use sarcasm, but are generally very earnest, they struggle with anxiety, are compassionate, are perfectionists, peace-makers, give people multiple chances, are workaholics...so much more. A lot of that is also ME, lol.

Sydcarmy is my Roman Empire. I love them as much as you can fictional characters and they deserve the most tender, angsty, triumphant, romantic best-friends to more love story.

I love the idea of murder besties, but consider: Alastor tricking Mimzy into thinking that everyone he killed was a threat to her after she discovers him murdering someone, thus developing her overly dependent nature with him because she refuses to accept he lied to her. Also why she doesn't fear him! (The angst is so PALPABLE)

I like whatcha doing here 👀 very much so 👀👀

In my version of them, maybe she is afraid of him, but better to have the person you're afraid of on your side than be against them. Like "Well, he's a serial killer, but still he didn't kill me. Better keep him close to me and avoid making him upset. Who knows how long I will be on his good side".

In episode 5 it looks for me like Alastor was very much aware why Mimzy came to the hotel, but still he was happy to see her and let her true intentions slide at least before the hotel was attacked. And, most likely, he let that happen many times when he and Mimzy were alive. Alastor and his mysterious moral code~ Mimzy is a simple sinner, you know, he can't gain anything from her like from Rosie for example. A powerful Overlord. But still he didn't kill her even after their fight in ep 5, so that means something (and I'm sure he had many chances to kill her when they were alive too).

Okay so I've had time to calm down and think of ways to make eunseong eat dirt and so now to the positives of this episode which was completely overshadowed by those awful 15 minutes.

- baekhong, how far they've come. To me this was one of their strongest episodes, one because it was truly the most vulnerable we had seen of them together and that scene outside the hospital and then outside the church oof??? The way I could feel the pain, the way I could understand where each was coming from and the way it just hurt because you want only good for them, most importantly though it was the way they were finally communicating with each other and knew why the other was behaving the way that were and were making active efforts to be there for each other irrespective of what they felt.

- at first I had whiplash at how they kept going from tears to just casually hanging out with each other, but it just made so much sense? Like here they are, not walking away but are dealing with the pain together, hyunwoo still trying to convince her but also just being there for her, and haein not wanting to budge but also entertaining hyunwoo's antiques because this is how they work through things, they cry, but they still stay by each other, they try to understand, the effort is all.

- hyunwoo's reaction after the accident deserves special mention but lol what even was that accident, nothing but shock factor and the way they hired that one white dude to just casually be like oh my god lemme call an ambulance and then disappear (bad bad writing) but I couldnt care about any of that because did you see the way kim soo hyun acted his heart out that scene????? Did you see the shortness of breath, the on the verge of a panic attack, the despair then the relief in his eyes, the crying, the way he held her?? The way I could feel every emotion and personally while I think the accident itself was stupid I found it poignant that haein changed her mind when she saw hyunwoo like this and we all know it's not because of the "ooh he looks so sad some lady will come hug him when he's crying after I die" but because haein herself has never seen hyunwoo like this, she saw entirely how destroyed he looked and felt when he thought she died and that hurt her more than anything and oof I just love these two, it's the way they just love each other so much and just want the other to be happy, in this moment haein said I'd hate to forget you but I'd hate it more if my death destroyed you and I think that speaks volumes.

- every other baekhong scene was gold lol, in the hospital, them just being domestic and just talking, the words they say before haein goes in for surgery (poorly written surgery, poorly written illness), the way hyunwoo just collapses once she's in - (and that's it I can't talk about the last 15 minutes lol even though there's a lot of baekhong glory there too).

- special mention for aunt beomja who really is a little ray of sunshine and for soocheol and his little family (I have issues with their bad qualities just being disregarded by this writer but that's for a different post).

Anyway, the ep is flawed just like every ep has been, it's clear the writer has no idea how to navigate complex plot lines and really should have just stuck to baekhong, because that's truly been worth the watch and has been very well written.

#queen of tears #kdrama #really though kudos to the actors #kim ji won and kim soo hyun #are giving it their all #and it's the first time I have seen such consensus that the drama is badly written #but ppl will still keep watching because these two are worth the watch

Revenant is soooo mid which is disappointing because I was looking forward to it due to the actors and writer (this isn’t a flop like Jirisan, which I gave up on after 2–3 episodes, but it’s not really good). BUT. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m suffering from “poor little meow meow middle-aged man” deficiency and Professor Yeom Haesang suffers so much. I can’t believe I was like “Oh...okay” about his casting because I’m planting my palms against his windows, peering at him in his little cage and being fed because he’s had the worst life ever and it keeps getting worse. HAESANG *____*<3

#why are we not talking about him more on reddit/twitter/tumblr and why are there not enough gifs and pics of him breaking down #or looking slutty in his all black ensembles complete with a turtleneck #watch as this man's life continues to deteriorate! ep. 7 and 8 provided such rich sustenance for me #a simp for ajusshideul who are miserable #he's so small and sad and he can't catch a break #yeah okay hongsae is great too and he's a cutie but LOOK AT THIS 40-YEAR-OLD MAN! #technically i wouldn't even count that as MIDDLE age middle-aged but his actor is 46 so whatever #in all seriousness revenant exasperates me a little because you can see how it can be good #especially because there's a frame of reference to base that hypothesis on: signal. lol. #signal wasn't without its flaws but the characters and relationships actually had development and the main partnerships were intense #and the tension was high throughout #revenant is the same thing every episode pretty much #the first three episodes were pretty to really good and i loved the setup #and you have kim taeri hong kyung and oh jungsae and they're great actors #but the directing and writing aren't serving them well and you can see the drop in quality from the beginning to now tbh #there's only so much they can do if they're not being given enough from both #though the little bits that are good are the reason i'm sticking around to the end lol. that and haesang i'm going to be real #like haesang and sanyoung's relationship needed to be parallel soohyun and haeyoung's in a way in terms of how much #they grow to rely on each other and care for each other but we don't really get that

in9 really hit me right where it hurts

#i hate that it reminded me so much of léo like. i didnt see any of the red flags in the eps just like i didnt see any of his. the way chas #looked so in love and ready to help him with his probleme and the whole mick thing. and joe reassuring him and chas trusting him and being #so happy and in love. and then the twist and joe explaining how he never loved him and was like if u paid attention you would have noticed #and all the things about being a secret and no one knowing about chas. it hit so deep #he was sooo good at pretending. and so was leo fr. 6 months he had me at his feet always promising me stuff and then backing away. being #the sweetest no one had ever been to me only to tell me that he didnt have feelings for me. not telling about me to anyone in his life. #going on dates with others without me knowing. he played so well. i felt so loved and yet so anxious all the time. put everything on hold #for him. only to find out he never loved me and was using me to show his 9k followers on twitter that he was a trans ally just like he used #other mentally fragile trans guys before me. fucking sicko. im still not completely over this #so yeah the whole haha i never loved you and you didnt even notice thing do be hitting hard #.txt #anyway....sorry for the vent lol

i like the parallel of tinn and sound being two kids prone to perfectionism who just need and want to be shown love and kindness

#i'm simplifying a bit but yeah. the end of ep4 got to me #and it's like. sound is a different character than in the concept trailer and i am here for it #my school president #he was originally very charismatic and kind of an empty romantic rival ykwim? #but the sound we get here has kind of an abrasive personality #concept sound introduced himself to gun by hitting on him. this sound makes him quit the band. i love it!! he feels much more real to me #he kind of still has that persona but it's actually just how he pleases his audience! like. he must have a history of keeping people at #--arm's lenght and i am so excited to see what's next for him now that this band of goofballs adopts him #they are such good kids your honor #and also the way last ep ended i honestly wouldn't blame him if he fell for gun a bit (which leads back to my original point) #but i've seen some different theories and i am raising you: what it both? #what if sound develops this deep admiration for gun mixed with a growing crush on him that he eventually realizes will remain unrequited #and when he has to stop looking up at that pedestal he put gun on he will finally see the person who's been standing right there next tohim #that's the shit right there someone write this

when the Been Awake Too Long depression hits

#it’s whatever i pulled my blankets into the lounge room and put s11 of svu on cause it’s my comfort series lmao #i know that’s weird but. whatever #i think the season i love 11 so much is bc it’s balls to the walls batshit but also there are so many good eps #like in ep one elliot gets doused in gasoline and still tells liv to get behind him even tho the guy is holding a lighter #ep two he goes undercover as a sugar daddy and absolutely sucks at it #ep three he does that three day stint in solitary and looks cute w the stubble afterwards #ep 4 we get good sonya content + liv mummy issues + ‘spare me the mutual stroke fest’ #ep 5 elliot goes full dad mode #ep 6 is spooked. that’s self explanatory. #ep 7 is good cause i like haung #ep 8 is turmoil. also self explanatory. #ep 9 is perverted. also self explanatory cause it’s one of the best episodes in existence of anything ever. #anyway I’m not reciting the whole season but. it’s such a good season #it’s like the star of eo entering their old married couple phase + it’s from the era where l&o didn’t take itself so seriously lmao
