I would love to see natalie and pete too!
Sidebar: The sydcarmy reddit topic is popular. These anti shippers sure love to deny sydcarmy and claim it's not happening in the show because this show is about anything else but this yet they're so engaged with going against them on reddit and using poor arguments to keep their stance. The mental gymnastics and dying on this hill along the vitriol on there is entertaining, and obsession with hating this pairing is outstanding.
Just say you don't want to see a black woman and white man fucking on screen.

have you guys thought about natalie was shunned by her mother and probably her brothers too when it came to cooking (watch the beginning flashback of Ceres…mikey taking control of the pot nat is stirring and her letting him and also Mikey and carmy both refusing to let her use the raisins) ……..and how it was SYDNEY who asked for her help in 2.10….
#You cannot tell me nat wearing a chef’s coat and helping out wasn’t cathartic for her#Sydney asking for her help like being someone to INVITE nat into the kitchen#Found sisters Sydney and nat#<prev tags ❤️

Thanks @vacationship for pointing out that Sydney initiates the first touch with Carmy in Review. As an obsessive person, I will analyze the choice to touch Carmy and the buildup to it.
(Warning: This might bring up some annoyance with Carmy. However, the tension and buildup leading to his explosion in this episode are incredibly well done. Looking back on the episode, it speaks to Carmy's character development season 2.)
So we fast forward to Ebra reading the review, revealing Sydney's dish as the restaurant's highlight.
Ribbon of brine, huh?
Carmy was already busy but noticed he didn't initiate eye contact with her like usual. The only time he looks her way is to shake his head in disappointment-hurt-anger that this dish she makes herself and that he says isn't ready. It gets a green light. Really, it's about Carmys not being genuinely ready to change for their relationship to develop. Carmy doesn't do this until fast forward - he loses Sydney.
Maybe the lack of eye contact tells us there's a disconnect, and there will continue to be a disconnect between them throughout the episode. And the GLARE carmy makes at Sydney. Everyone should already know shit about to blow up.
Carmy was ANGRY.
He's nodding in agreement, but you can make it out that he's stewing while sydney is asking for understanding, something he's struggling to give.
Sidebar: it brings up the importance of Tina's say hello to Jeff's friend. Carmy isn't feeling that connection - that friendship right now.so Tina saying that adds fuel to his fire.
Fast forward to more buildup, Richie and Sydney's argument. Carmy comes up with his baggage, ready to end the fight between him, but he is not much help.
Carmy intervenes, and there's still no steady eye contact with Sydney.
Oh and the importance of Sydney saying WE are learning (call back to carmy asking Sydney in 1x03 bridgade, WE want to make this place better, right?). Early on, they established their bond, but Carmy makes sure, maybe out of spite, to say the new system was her idea.
This is when Sydney really notices they are not on the same page. That he's pushing her away.
Which is what makes her make the unconscious decision to touch carmy. A plea to connect again.
Carmy stops like she asks him to through touch. Even though he was ready to walk away, he couldn't help but take a moment to pause even though they're under pressure with time. And for the first time, he really looks at her. His eyes come up even though he's still in his feelings about the whole thing.
That also tells us about Carmy's character. He doesn't talk about his feelings, which reminds me of episode 2x06 'Fishes', where Mikey had to practically drag out of Carmy the reason why he was so angry with him. When Carmy is hurt, he either explodes quickly or lets it brew until it's too late. There's no balance in his anger.
But Sydney helps with this. With their relationship, they want to keep the connection going, and in order to do that, with disagreements, there needs to be a goal to always maintain connection.
Arguments happen even with the most compatible people. It isn't toxic as some naysayers use it as an excuse to this ship. both strives to connect and carmy, although angry stops to give Sydney a minute.
But he still turned away and didn't hash it out with her. He didn't check early on if she was okay. This could be a lesson learned- a blow up may not have happened if he had given Sydney more time and connected with her despite his anger.
This gesture reveals a lot about their relationship dynamic, and looking back, it helps me appreciate Carmy's character growth. His desire to improve communication and become a better partner for Sydney? Sydney being the same way and their efforts to maintain their relationship is what makes the ship so compelling.
#this is why the sorry sign is important#its saying “im mad at you but i still love you#I just need a minute#okay?#sydcarmy#carmy x sydney

god-tier sydcarmy fics
no one asked but i'm suddenly overcome with gratitude that fic writers just drop these gems for FREE. we are so lucky. these are the ones i constantly reread because they make me feel so much.
all of these are rated M or E because if they ain't fuckin, i ain't reading.
five times at a simmer; once boiling over by seh28
my kink? emotional intimacy. that's what these two need more than any bullshit stars. this fic serves it up like it's a floor donut and i'm carmy straight up eating that shit.
friends, partners, and intimates by sashafiercer
i'm always here for it when syd gives carmy what he deserves. and i'm DEFINITELY here for it when the dialogue between the two is so on point it gives me whiplash. written by an all time 🐐.
forget about your house of cards by minecrafter42
i love reading about how carmy can't get it together in sydney's presence. this fic presents their dynamic so viscerally that the slow burn is more like a slow simmer. i needed a cigarette after i finished this one.
temper, temper by malariamonsters
have you ever read anything so beautiful it made you cry? yeah, this fic. it's at the top of the tag for a reason because it captures carmy's consuming love for syd so perfectly. i want to live inside this fic.
child with a child pretending by emilybrontay
sydney has a baby before she starts working at the beef, and carmy knows what bluey is. i'm done. i am very picky when it comes to stories set in sydney's POV (my girl is a complex masterpiece, you better get her right), and this is one of the greatest, most thoughtful.
Mise En Place by badcircuit
love fics that present syd and carmy as partners in every sense of the word. beautifully written, hot as fuck. another one that gets syd right. again, i take portrayals of my girl so seriously and this one is gorg.
Take Care by oysterknife
oh boy. this one literally came out last week but i already read it upwards of 10 times. i will read anything oysterknife writes but GODDAMN. this one changed my brain chemistry with the emotional intimacy between the two. i love longing and yearning and this one is like a masterclass in it. the literary references made me kick my feet and giggle. as a brooklyn girlie, THIS is the nyc i wanna see: flushing, crown heights, greenpoint minus the condos, shitting on the residents of murray hill, i want it all. also the ending made me sob. not joking.
#sydcarmy#using my obsession for good i hope#i havent been on the fanfic but i need to#for any of my followers#heres some recs for you-thanks op!

It gives off twin flame energy. I think the director was intentional with the Carmy and Syd's mirroring in this episode. They were both wearing dark sweaters with a design on their right side, possibly the same side as their shoulder tattoos, along with the choreography. This is the last time we see Sydney and Carmy's partnership play out smoothly before Claire and Carmy reunite and Emmanuel fills Sydney with doubts. This moment shows us that they are a union and that they're better together than apart- they're equals.

You're right, that is interesting. I think that's what I love about watching reactions is because the different perspectives (especially not having people in rl watch this show with me).
But my protection over Sydney!! She wasn't wrong, but I'm also appreciative of the writing that makes everything so decisive.
"What is going on here"
"You're feeling the wrong vibes bro"
This reaction video is hilarious. Right on the nose! The same people who deny sydcarmy also swear that Marcus and Syd would end up together after she fake lagged on the phone during the "I miss you" and rejected him when he asked her out.
I just realized the people who can't guess the plot that Sydney and Carmy will end up together are the people the writers strive to write for and surprise.
But shout out to this reaction video.

I'm surprised that she didn't see the emotional intimacy too. I forgot about that dessert dedication! It was such a sweet gesture and they have a great friendship.

No but really,
I would seriously question what I've been watching because their relationship isn't just a part of the show, it IS the show. The changes to The Beef, none of that happened until Sydney and Carmy connected. Nothing kicked off the ground until Sydney said Hi.Hello.
If SydCarmy isn't endgame, it will be the greatest gaslighting of all time by television writers.

Sydney: I don't want you to think I was, like, being jealous or, like, bitter or whatever because that's, like, not the case at all. And like thank you for-for saying that. And also, she was really nice. I'm sure she's great--
Carmy: She is. She is. She's great...
Sydney: Yeah? 👀
Carmy: 👀 Yeah...
There's something about Sydney's rambling and the sudden pause when Carmy confirms how great Claire is - and damn it, her stare as she looks down at Carmy and Carmy looks up at her. Sydney affects Carmy in a way that makes him look at her instead of the task. Why did he have to break what he was doing and look at Sydney? Did Sydney's "yeah?" confirm for Carmy that there was some jealousy even though Sydney says otherwise?
It's not the words in this scene but the subtext behind their words and how it affects them. Even Carmy tells her she's great but locks eyes with Sydney. It's freakin April, and I'm still obsessed, but I submitted to the brain rot long ago, and at this point, June is soon, so I'll just keep going.
#as soon as i read all this i thought of my best friends wedding#and the moment just passes you by#all you said-- A WORD

I don't know, I think, um, maybe if I can provide more amusement and joy for myself, it would be easier to provide for others.
This is why he takes not being there- "failing" Sydney, to heart.
#just so you know I'll never get over carmy striving for Sydney's happiness#I was feeling real angsty#he wants her to feel the way she makes him feel#he just wants to make her happy#sydcarmy#it's all for Sydney#redditors: just connect the dots
