#sydcarmy platonic

[answer2jeff]

S2, EP2: PASTA

think this was probably one of my favorite scenes of Syd and Carmy; just because of how raw it is. both of them have decent hopes for that absolute oversalted mess of a dish, and they're both just SO DRAMATIC about the unexpected outcome.

(note: i know chef's are very particular with their work and are often very hyperbolic when something in a dish seems to go wrong. i'm a cook, i experience this frequently. it just makes this scene that much cuter and funnier.)

really love dynamics that are like 'it honestly doesn't matter if you view them as romantic or platonic, the point is that they love each other. the type of love is inconsequential, all that matters is that it's there'. gotta be one of my favorite genders.

The most obvious and consistent issue with Sydney and Carmy is their inability to communicate honestly about what they are feeling when they feel it. Instead of telling Sydney that he needs her and that he doesn’t ever want to lose her or for her to leave him.. he drafts up a marriage contract partnership agreement. And to apologize for dumping the entire opening of their restaurant on her and to let her know that she’s all he ever thinks about… he gifts her a custom made designer chef coat🤣😩😭

This man is so fucking stupid! I CAN NOT!

This moment will always be IT for me. This scene was probably more significant for me than the table scene, and that says a lot because that scene was extremely significant! I remember when i first saw this scene and was genuinely so taken back by the editing, the song, the expressions. And the fact that it's STILL on my mind almost a year later and i end up finding something new about it every time??

Then people want to pretend that this moment was strictly platonic and that Syd only equaled the restaurant... I knew in this moment that they were showing us Carmy realized how much he loved Syd and that she meant so much more to him. She's his peace. She was not a product of his trauma through his childhood and family. He was uncertain about Claire, but certain about Syd. I don't care. I am not budging.

I even tried to one time just so i could stop talking about sydcarmy to my friend who wants them to only be platonic. But oh well! The editors and Mr. Storer shouldn't have shown me this scene!

Love the flavor of soulmates that is a main m/f partnership dynamic that's mostly platonic but also romantic but also dysfunctional and yet completely essential - like these characters would not work without each other, but they barely work with each other, and most importantly they know each other carnally better than anyone else, but it's also not about sex at all it's about the partnership and navigating the highs and lows of intimacy and letting someone in, but also maybe they do fuck, but also maybe don't, but also...

If there's a chance to ship a woman of color with a beloved & gatekept male lead because there's amazing chemistry between the two, I'm gonna ship it... even if everyone hates me.

"ebra, i swear to god, she looks fucking beautiful. you would've lost your mind."

so obsessed with this clip. the way sydney turns the radio off so you can hear richie say it. the way it's framed almost as if they're carmy's thoughts about syd (them being the only ones on screen, the use of present tense). the way richie's topic of conversation shifts away from it as carmy moves away from sydney. the way this is not even 15 minutes into the show.

Carm YOU JUST MET HER

If I speak, you'll say I'm wicked.
