I am begging on my hands and knees for somebody to get me within the walls of Watcher HQ. I will give each of them $6 individually to let me study their brains and their thought process.

This is one of the few things in recent memory that has gripped my attention and I am following actively.

It is so fascinating to me how a fumble of historic proportion was made in 14 minutes that they destroyed eight years of goodwill and trust. Subscribers are falling faster than they can bot them. The Internet is circling, they smell blood.

I just feel bad for anybody who doesn’t make decisions and now their job could be in jeopardy but other than that, this fumble is earthshaking… For them! I go to bed at night and I sleep like a rock because I didn’t inadvertently call the people who have been supporting me for eight years broke

You know what? I’m fine with that!

I know I am going to the same place as the three people whose main demographic are college students and they know that but still, in the midst of a global recession, said “hey give us even more money”

If me getting a few jokes about them is sending me to hell, then they must be going to super turbo hell.

All three of them deserve lashings. All three of them deserved to be whacked and made fun of by the Internet. No one is innocent, they each own, I’m assuming, 33.33% of the company. Steven is the CEO but the CEO answers to the board of directors who are Ryan and Shane!

they are all Equally shitty in the situation! Idgaf, i’m not letting y’all make me feel bad for getting in a few jokes about people who are tone deaf🫶🏾 

Keep the jokes coming yall! I’m having a ball on this bitch

@ftglossmp3 I FOUND ANOTHER SOUTH AFRICAN AND DIDNT HAVE TO PAY R115 TO DO SO WE ARE SOOO BACK

i'm sorry but steven going 'uwu its just 6 dollars, everyone can afford it' made me want to whack him with a stale baguette filled with lead, like how tone-deaf can you be, you silly little tesla-driving man

[nyikondlovu]

Baby, you know what? Go hunt yourself some ghosts with that money

"its just 6 dollars!" if i convert that to rands (south african currency, where I live) that's R114!! A MONTH. I need you guys to be soooo fr right now

We were having too much fun… They were too good to us… we were too happy, Ryan and Shane had to remind us they are straight men by disappointing us…

Idk how to prove it but this is Steven Lim and Queen Naija’s fault idgaf!

(Edit: But in all honesty, I’ve had more time to think and read more on it and while I still do believe it might be Steven’s brainchild, Ryan and Shane are not exempt because they are also cofounders and they still stayed working with that weird man after he said he has racist homophobic friends so kind of fuck them too!)

But I’m happy for the ghoul boys I guess?… I hope they have fun and find success!

(Edit: I lied, I don’t want people to be jobless but I do hope Ryan, Shane and Steven realise what a dumb fucking idea this is)

Is this a safe space?

The A route is so uninteresting TO ME😭

Like, this slow burn angst has the gas off and no fluff in sight I can’t do that to myself.

Y’all finna jump me?🥺

I feel like a combination of things. Maybe at some his mom had a passion for baking, but I think more than not, it’s to show how he doesn’t fit the idea you would have for somebody as built as him to simply be. He’s a creative and gentle giant, who is so taken with the art of pastries.

At first he was kind of just making bread and going through the motions, but then he finally has Sydney and Carmen, who encourage and nurture that inquisitive nature he had about it, and when he finally figures it out, he’s so excited and he’s so focused on that that he loses sight of the bigger picture, which I do think season two brings back to it.

Marcus works to take care of himself and to be able to pay for his mothers nurse, but then he now has the opportunity to explore this desert world more, while being reminded to keep his eye on the wider picture. I do believe it tied into season two from season one. 

And the second part is to show that Sydney and Carmen are not the ones with the mentor/mentee relationship but instead, they are the mentors to Marcus’ mentee. Sort of establish firmly that Sydney is extremely talented and to remind us how big a deal that Carmen is when he has contacts in Copenhagen. 

does anyone else still wonder about marcus' place in the whole review (s1e07) equation? like whyyyy was he so obsessed with perfecting a donut? it always bothered me.

sometimes i chalk it up to it being comedic relief but when carmy put his hands on him and he quit, it felt deeper than just a joke about how into donuts he was. i sympathize with him being so excited about this newfound love but it also feels too shallow for me to extend as much sympathy as i do with other characters in that episode who fucked up.

like when you think about sydney, carmy and richie and their place in how that mess started. the whole season led to this episode, and this explosion was bound to happen in some capacity because there was too much history, personalities and motivations going against each other.

for sydney, who represents a radical change. she wants the restaurant to be great. She's ambitious, a leader and creative. but like sheridan road sometimes it can get too much and blow up in her face. which kind of creates this loop of making everything the "thing". etc etc.

richie represents being firm in the past. like yes richie was a raging asshole to syd and carm but with prespective the audience is meant to sympathize with him trying to hold onto the last thing he can, bc everything is changing around him too fast (dead best friend, divorce, co-parenting).

carmy is right in the middle. he wants to fix his brother's restaurant. to fix is to make something better. to change it. he used the Beef to fix his relationship with his brother when that's impossible. hes holding onto the past bc he thinks he can change it somehow.

so with all those factors + ego + the fact that all 3 of them are pretty angry ppl = the review. richie gets stabbed. carmy rages. and syd quits.

but where does marcus fit? the show has never given us a reason as to why exactly he has such an emotional attachment to the donuts that he went into his own little world as every thing was going to shit. i felt like s2 gave a really good opportunity to explore that when he went to coppenhagen but they didnt. or maybe i missed it idk.

Ricky saw who Gina really was and Gina saw who Ricky really could be

so interesting that a certain group of shippers insisted that gina and ej’s conversation on the couch, where they established that they didn’t really understand each other, was fine because it gave them a chance to get to know each other and that’s all good and well but gina telling ricky that she didn’t know who she was or if she even liked herself before getting to east high and having that change because of him, appreciating that he sees and knows and understands her, that she craves that kind of understanding and gets to experience the great joy of being known because of him is so crazy when you think about it

Oh, now I get it…You just hate black women. How the hell are you taking a TV show this seriously? like you probably think of Carmen and Sydney more than we do😭

Why are you acting as though we’re holding a gun to everybody involved in the writing and acting of the shows head?

Get a job move awn! you don’t have to interact and if you say you’re “confronting” us I need you to remember some thing… You’re on the Internet you literally mean nothing to me.

You can bring as many facts to the table as you want, people are going to ship what they want and right now we want to ship Sydney and Carmen there’s nothing you can do about it. 

I’m done interacting with you, you’re a boring loser weirdo who brings nothing to the table except dragging down the mood. I know everybody around you cheers when you leave the room 

The worst ppl on this social app is “Syd x Carmy” shippers! Y’all make my stomach turn y’all are the most weirdest, delusional, & disrespectful people! Y’all disrespect what Ayo Edebiri says who is an executive producer of “The Bear” look it up while y’all at it. She have a lot of power who the show’s direction so if she said that I believe her! Y’all ppl I bet y’all are the same ppl who made up that Olivia Benson & Elliot Stabler was in love for years! I bet y’all think any man or woman who talk to y’all is in love with y’all! I see why the world is fucked up. Ppl don’t know what real love is I mean romantic love or platonic love. Carmy & Sydney are platonic friends, he is her mentor nothing more they don’t even know each other that long. It’s been a total of 4 months and he was dating Claire for 3 of them! Go away and seek help y’all the type who wished y’all teachers loved y’all more 😂😩I can’t y’all ruin GREAT SHOW BY MAKING THEM CHEESY!! GROW UP!

Like there’s this crazy account that’s forever in the Sydcarmy tag… Like fucking move if you don’t see what we see.

Going like “the actors say that they don’t have that kind of relationship” well, they also said the show wasn’t for romance last season and what did we get this season? romance.

so fucking annoying. get a job leave her alone!

Sydney is a queen. Carmen needs therapy before they can kiss in season five. 

[nyikondlovu]

I’m crying because you really deduce all of that from who they ship. Like since we’re psychoanalyzing each other it seems like you’re projecting to the fact that no one in your life loves you onto people who actually enjoy watching love happen like damn and also, he’s not her mentor they’re on the same level. We can say that Marcus is their a mentee, but Sydney is not being mentored by Carmen, even he himself says he holds her to a higher standard. Get a job leave her alone. 

Let people have fun. the show has enough platonic love of opposite sexes. you can just say you don’t see Carmen and Sydney that way and also no one said she should be his savior. All of us agree he needs therapy before he could even be in the realm of deserving Sydney, the same way she has her own shit to work through.
