i was originally gonna make a super long post about some of the things i noticed that point to sydcarmy in season 1, but that was getting too long so i'm gonna break down a single scene in one post:
so season 1 is kind of scant in sydcarmy in comparision to season 2, but one scene that did catch my attention upon rewatch is this one where syd and carmy are making a seafood boil together.
The scene is very quiet, calm, not chaotic like we're used to in The Bear. Syd and Carm are alone in the kitchen, already making this a bit more personal and intimate. Syd is telling him about Sheridan, how it fucked her over financially. One thing I wanna point at is the song playing in the background, Impossible Germany by Wilco
"The fundamental problem
We all need to face
This is important
But I know you're not listening
Oh, I know you're not listening
If this was still new to me
I wouldn't understand
Impossible Germany
Unlikely Japan
But this is what love is for
To be out of place
Gorgeous and alone
Face to face
With no larger problems
That need to be erased
Nothing more important than to know
Someone's listening
Now I know
You'll be listening"
So the lyrics are very literal to the scene, it explicitly mentions listening to someone's problems. The first verse plays when Syd is going on about her failed catering business. The lines "But I know you're not listening/ Oh, I know you're not listening" are heard on a long shot of Sydney, but we cut to Carm and see that he has his head turned slightly, paying attention. This placement makes me wonder if Sydney is thinking he's not listening, but we as a viewer can see that that isn't true. Carmy also says "Heard, chef," further reinforcing this point.
When Carm enters the frame with Syd, the line "This is what love is for" plays. Not only that, it plays specifically when they both hold onto the same strainer, and the music actually grows in volume right at this point. It's very clear they want the audience to hear this lyric in particular.
Carmy exits the scene after the line "Face to face." The camera holds on Sydney for the line "With no larger problems." Then it cuts to a shot of Marcus for the line "That needs to be erased" and continues with shots of Marcus through the end of the song.
This placement is interesting. It almost seems to be implying that Marcus is a problem that needs to be erased for Sydney by juxtaposing them with the lines "With no larger problems" and "That need to be erased." With the inclusion of a one-sided (?) romance between them in the second season, I feel like that's exactly what this line is foreshadowing.
The inclusion of "Someone's listening" might make you think that it's actually Marcus that will listen to Sydney, however, it's important to note that the scene shows Marcus specifically cutting green tape with a knife-- you know, the thing Carmen tells him to do earlier on. So the person Marcus is listening to is actually Carmen, not Syd. Which can also alternatively mean that the "problem" is literally the uneven edges on the green tape.
The singer's meaning here can perhaps apply to The Beef- Carmen and Sydney have been through the ringer and running their own successful restaurant may seem too good to be true. But seeing as Carmen and Sydney are both very ambitious and confident in their cooking ability, it makes me wonder if this could be about their romance too. I think they have both resigned themselves to the fate of never having a life outside of work, which includes not having time for love. They didn't think it was ever going to happen, and they are suddenly catching feelings out of no where.
This song is not diegetic, so the excuse of "it's just a song that happens to be playing in the kitchen" does not apply here, though, even if it was, the production team still put it in completely intentionally.
idk. much to think about here.
#I also have Several thoughts about some of the song choices with claire#lmk if anyone would want to see that#i love shows that have songs with a specific meaning like this sooo much#was listening to oh my heart and was like goddamn this is so carmy coded these ppl know what they're doing#long post#sydcarmy#the bear

As a companion to this post, I'm rereading one of the books in question and I wanted to share one of the poems bc ohh. I'm in my feelings right now so everyone else has to be too
I bought a copy of the cowboy poetry book Sun and Saddle Leather by Badger Clark, copyrighted from 1915.
My favorite poem from it is The Wind is Blowin', about a cowboy missing his lover. Guys. It's so
Hngn g don't talk to me I'm in pain
if you want to read it, it's online at Project Gutenberg <3
#i found it at a book collectors store for $15 USD by happenstance. as it happens with every great book#the true book reading experience is picking up a random old book and becoming inherently changed thereafter#i still remember an old book i read in middle school that i randomly found in the library#its even a signed copy!!! it has a beautiful cover and the wonderous book smell even after all this time#Everything about it makes me happy#anyway lmk if you guys want to see more poems I would love to share them#poetry#cowboy poetry#cowboys#books#bookblr#makes me think about ThemTM if anyone has some old west destiel fic recs hmu PLEASE i love them so much

One of my ocs has been quietly vibing with your star foxes lore for a while, if we’re allowed to yoink lore headcanons I finally have an explanation for why he’s so funky. (Fox boy of ambiguous origin)
you've no idea how happy this ask makes me
#i have a couple of genshin ocs that i use for like............. thinking up fics if that makes any sense#daydreaming is probably a better descriptor but that sounds so embarrassing LMAO#like they're not genshinsonas or self-inserts they're like#npcs that i made up and that i put in little adventures and scenarios#mostly to explore other characters#like creating a fake genshin char (that's not a self-insert) and shipping them with an existing char to explore a different dynamic for the#like wondering what would it be like if like... diluc for example was shipped with a specific personality. but we don't have that in-game#so i just make up an npc to see how the dynamic would play out#i even have them designed and everything lmk if anyone wants to see that#anyway#so happy to learn there's a foxboy of ambiguous origin in the Expanded Genshin Fanroster#that takes lorebits from one of my fics lmao#thank you <3 <3 <3 <3#ily and i probably love your foxboy as well

happy tdov! got another spidersona for ya! :]
'parker' is in between names right now but that doesn't stop him from being the spiderman of his dimension!
their dimension is fairly desaturated so the appearance of our favorite red and blue hero is a disturbance in more ways than one
gwen stacy becomes his 'guy in the chair' after she figures out that he's spiderman :]
#gari draws#gari’s ocs#oc: parker#spiderman#spiderverse#that side profile had hands oh my god 😭#I started this. september 2023. it's older than the piece with mario holding mela and pera#I just consistently forgot about it before making the push to finish it for tdov#since. you know. I made them from earth 331#he's closeted in his secret identity but as you can see. presents masc as spiderman. don't expect a spider-person to be strict on health#gwen and parker went to the same all girls middle school before moving on to a co-ed high school and were good friends#before parker started being weird/withdrawing for several reasons#she figures out that he's spiderman but NOT that he was trans so when she was going over her evidence he just kinda awkwardly blurts it out#I think it would be nice for parker's new name to be ben but I have been unsuccessful in researching trans renaming + the jewish naming#after the dead thing so he could also be peter. but I want him to be ben bc that would be kinda boring. if anyone has a good source lmk#aunt may is supportive!#idk parker has any special powers. but that isn't set in stone

i want you to hold me (please never let go) music dump
hello hi! feeling extra grateful and overwhelmed by the traction that this fic has gotten so far and I wanted to provide you all with some more content. So, as my friend Jonesy will tell you all (and I will send him this post so he sees since he is Not on tumblr) I am not the greatest at creating curated playlists. So instead of creating a curated playlist, I have a list of songs that inspired each part of iwythm- broken (mostly) into three parts: the theme song, songs i listened to a lot while writing the part & other songs related to the part. There may be some overlap but I'm going to try my best!
part one:
theme song: You and I by Anarbor
songs I listened to a lot while writing: Jenny (I Wanna Ruin Our Friendship) by Studio Killers, Smooth by Santana, Rob Thomas
other related songs: Million Dollar Houses (The Painter) by Pierce the Veil
part two:
theme song: Take on the World by You Me At Six
songs I listened to a lot while writing: Dusk Till Dawn by ZAYN, Sia
other related songs: Middle of the Night by Loveless, Intoxicated by The Cab
part three:
theme song: Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran
songs I listened to a lot while writing: Stereo Love- Molella remix by Edward Maya, Vika Jigulina, Movement by Marshmello, HOL!, Hypnotic Data by Odetari
other related songs: Sober by P!nk, Boys Boys Boys by Lady Gaga, Troublemaker by Olly Murs, Flo Rida, If I Had You by Adam Lambert
part four:
theme song: All Around Me by Flyleaf
songs I listened to while writing: Just Pretend by Bad Omens, Breathing by Yellowcard
other related songs: Rescue Me by Marshmello, A Day to Remember
part five:
theme song: I Hope I'm Not Sick by Loveless
songs I listened to while writing: Charlie Be Quiet! by Charlie Puth, House of Memories by Panic! At the Disco
other related songs: RUNRUNRUN by Dutch Melrose
part six:
theme song: Battling My Demons by Jeris Johnson, BOI WHAT
songs I listened to while writing: Gambling Man by The Overtones, Sign of Life by Motionless in White
other related songs: Beautiful Things by Benson Boone, Infected by Bad Religion, Genius by Sia, Diplo, Labrinth, LSD
#as you can see my song taste is all over the place#if anyone would like to attempt to describe it... lmk#this is also not all encompassing of everything but def the salient songs#iwythm#lore#smosh rpf#rpf#spommy#and if anyone wants to chat about any of these... you know where to find me ;)

The thing about my gender is, I want to be cis passing until I open my mouth and firmly cement me as Faggot. Like, I just want people to see me and be like, that's just a guy, but there's something ambiguous about him 🤔. And then they see me swish around a little in a skirt and they're like, oh I see that's a queer alriggt 🫡
#honestly i kinda want to have a bear energy but also have that effortless androgynous femininity#god if this resonates with you please lmk because ive been feeling so alone with my gender lately#just knowing other people like me exist would be cool and also being able to see them fucking doing the damn thing!#i never see anyone who looks like what i want :(

does anybody have any songs and/or albums they associate with X... asking for a friend
#mmx#mmx x#tagging for visibility#im just genuinely curious esp if there are possibly specific songs within the fanbase that people really associate with him#i dont really ever look at character playlists unless its made by a friend and/or sent directly to me tho i have made several myself#but i tend to keep them private and never really reference what others do#not that im looking for ideas like i said its purely curiosity / wanting to see a potentially different perspective#THAT BEING SAID i did start an X playlist but the plan is for it to be fully instrumental...#okay anyway that is all. when i was active on tumblr years ago i always got asks where people would wonder why i had so many tags#instead of just typing in the actual text post. clearly i have not changed#ANYWAY PLS DO LMK my asks/submissions should be open for anon? if anyone did want to share privately#>mine_>text

this is why I have 108 drafts lmao I get an idea for one of my long posts when I'm really busy with something else and just jot down some basic nonsense that lives there for months until I stumble upon it one day and go completely feral for several hundred words
#no clue when I will make these real posts btw I usually just get in a tumblr mood and go scrolling until I find one I want to tinker with#i do have a fair number of half finished posts as well from where I can't find the exact right words so I take some time and come back to it#if anyone has one in particular they rlly want to see lmk and that will motivate me to actually go flesh it out lol#also there r some GREAT posts abt some of these and I'm always looking for more so if u have a fav abt any#send them my way#i need to do a lot more research on the monomouth thing i just stumbled across that on Google once so if there's ANY posts I would love to#read them#anyways posting process reveal I guess lmao

i’m thinking of doing like. a video on the entire historical record of isreal like it’s creation, why it was created, everything from 1948 till now. i’ve never really tried to do something like this before so i’m not even sure how it’d turn out?? like i guess tiktok is a pretty easy platform to make it with but i have like 3 followers there so it wouldn’t get anywhere. unless i make it there but upload it here.
also i’m a photographer not a videographer so i have no clue where to start with like editing and all that jazz and i did consider youtube but that requires a lot of technological know how and i really don’t have the time to learn how to edit vids just for One video bc ik ill probably never post again
#would anyone want to see that lmk and i will work on it#i have like. a rough script going on i wasn’t even planning on sharing it i was jst doing personal research but like#a lot of ppl don’t know this info so i feel like it would be good to share#ANYWAYS LMK IF U WANT IT
