I should have cut you the fuck out. I fucking love you. You fucking need me. I fucking love you.

THE BEAR 2.10, 'The Bear'

[moondirewolf]

The thing about writing is that either it is the most peaceful and satisfying activity ever, or you're wandering about your house at 2:30am with your laptop on 3% battery, 25+ tabs open, a cursor blinking away taunting your inaptitude as you try to remember what doorknobs are called. Or you're lying in a pit of darkness not writing at all.

i feel like all fandom spaces would improve dramatically if more people learned how to enjoy non-canon ships which were never written as romantic without acting entitled to official validation or throwing a hissy fit over not getting something that they were never promised

All of the meta posts about the bear in the tag are just like ignoring everything Carmy has ever said or shown us about himself

Claire and Carmy giving each other heart eyes making each other smile :)

Full offense but sometimes fandom just totally make up the characterization of a character and then complain when that isn’t canon

my level of fanfiction productivity ranges from “typing 20,000 words over the span of 3 days” or “opening a document and staring at it for a year without typing anything at all.” there is no middle ground.

whenever i see another tiktok girlie talking about how she wishes to have been a fangirl in 2010s i feel like a seasoned veteran overhearing a foolish youngin boasting about wanting to go to war for glory and adventure. you naive little idiot. you know nothing. you understand nothing. you weren't there in the trenches. i have seen things, terrible things. i cannot plug in my phone charger at night without being plagued by the visions of Him

people who market tumblr as a “fandom website” are missing the fact that the fandom tags are essentially unusable because you cannot venture into them without seeing a take so bad you want to throw up

i love you betrayals between people who still love each other i love you devotion to the point of destruction i love you selfish choices made in the name of love i love you devastating consequences of those choices

Don't forget to feed your wip some lines of fresh words today and then let it roam free in your head.

no i'm sorry i'm not done because every SINGLE post about claire be it spiteful or pitying still somehow misses the point of her place in the plot entirely. she wasn't there to 'fix' carmy. she wasn't there for his escapism. she doesn't represent carmy's past and she isn't a mary sue and she isn't even there to contrast syd!! she is someone who knows and loves carmy just like anyone else in his life who he continues to sabotage any true vulnerability with!! if she contrasts syd, it's not even in a way that richie doesn't also, or natalie, because these are all people who care for him that he refuses to meet halfway the moment any vulnerability is required of him. for better or worse, claire's function in season two is about carmy's dysfunction, and how no matter how good his life can get or how many good opportunities come his way, he will ALWAYS blow it until he sorts his shit! as long as he refuses to process this hovering feeling, this anxiety, this waiting for the other shoe to drop, HE will drop it himself!! he will look at a perfect situation and ask is the other shoe gonna drop and not wait for an answer because the hope of even asking is too dangerous and painful to indulge in. if he stays in the hustle and the stress and never allows himself ANY amusement or enjoyment, it can't be something to lose. the point of claire is that it wouldn't even matter if it was syd or her, or anyone in carmy's life who dares ask of vulnerability from him (re: the big red button are you okay asked at a berzatto family function, hello), because as long as he remains where he is, he will blow it either way.

in the bear when claire whispers to carmy, "why did you give me a fake number?" and he just pauses for a long moment before saying, "I like you so much."

Real love isn’t dying for each other. Well, then, what is it? Tell me.
