>> Just convinced my grandmother that this was a picture of an actor and his actress wife.

Her immediate thoughts: What’d I tell you? Them Italian men…

headcanon for sydcarmy that I've had for months now that i was reminded of rewatching Fools Rush In yesterday (rip Matthew Perry) and reading @ambeauty 's new fanfic.

i love the unplanned pregnancy trope with them and also the idea that they would do every milestone backwards or hit them super fast in terms of their relationship. hear me out

what i love about sydney and carmy is how intense they are about each other while not knowing each other for that long. carmy spends braciole acting like a heartbroken widower and ends the episode by planning on revamping his family restaurant with a girl he's only known for a couple months. the restaurant dream he thought died with his brother, the person he loved the most (woah). while sydney is her most emotionally vulnerable with a guy she barely knows (and physically too, i.e the hug after the fire suppression test and the table scene) and constantly gives him second chances when he doesn't deserve them.

they are weird and intense about each other even with all these platonic and professional boundaries they put in place.

in my mind that is rotting from tumblr and ao3, when those boundaries disappear they will do the relationship shit on speed drive. oops they get pregnant after a few months of dating or a situationship. whats having a baby when you have a restaurant? they are already the mom and dad of the bear!

they would elope randomly on a tuesday afternoon after dating for a couple months bc they practically eat sleep live and breathe each other every single day anyways? carmy tells syd he doesn't want to wait when he already knows she's it for him. syd says he's crazy but she may just be crazier for agreeing (also grew up with hearing her parents love story who got married super young and fast so why cant she?)

oh they just started dating a few days ago? syd moves in or they start looking for new places. shes already here all the time when they menu plan. carmy already buys her fave snacks, subscribes to a couple streaming services for the first time bc syd loves to binge-watch shows, and has a couple of her scarves laying around.

and i love that this could go really bad, how intense and how much they love each other (bc im an angst enjoyer) or most likely really great bc these two losers want to practically live in each other's skin and make each other better.

side note: after watching fools rush in again...need a sydcarmy au bc the premise of two people from different cultures, values and perspectives foolishly rushing into a big thing like opening a restaurant having a baby is so them!

Hello hi I actually wrote the sydcarmy phantom thread au! It makes me really happy you enjoyed it so much. I think it’s technically one of the best things I’ve written so seeing reward for all that effort and practice is wonderful!

The only fun bit of trivia I can think of is that in the final chapter Sydney feeds him 6 berries as a reference to Persephone and the pomegranate (callback to Sydney thinking about the Rape of Persephone statue in a previous chapter). I couldn’t outright mention it in the final chap because that would be waaaaaaaayyyy too on the nose but it kills me no one in the comments has caught it 😭 When plotting everything out I just googled ‘toxic foods’ and picked elderberries because they seemed sexy, but none of Carmy’s reactions are grounded in any sort of medical reality. House MD ass berries.

Thanks again, chef! xoxo

stop i’m literally genuinely kicking my feet and giggling right now i hope you know how much joy and insanity you have brought me AND my friends like dude you are homer to me you are dostoyevsky….. you get it!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need to reread so i can give you specific compliments but in general the way you captured sydney’s inner dialogue is outlandishly captivating especially considering how opaque she is as a character like WOAH!!!!!!! six berries……… okay scream i love that your mind…..

thank you chef, this is a celebrity interaction to me

Last Book/Fic Finished: I recently reread American Psycho by Brett Easton Ellis (PB was my halloween costume this year and I wanted to get into a yuppie mood heheh)

Last Book/Fic Abandoned: The last book I DNF'ed was I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, which I had to read for a book club. The subject matter is obviously pretty heavy and it was sadly a little much for me at the time, although I could still see it being a good read if I'd been in a more robust mental state lol

Currently Reading: Just started reading Where the Crawdads Sing by Delia Owens.

And my current festive reading is this! Such a good magazine if you're into your folk horror (which I am, if that wasn't glaringly obvious)

Last Thing Researched for Art/Writing/Hyperfixation: I've been watching quite a few vids about homesteading and of people building their own log homes for my Appalachian Sydcarmy fic! It's super interesting and such a cool lifestyle, it would be cool if more people lived that way!

Favourite Online Fandom Memory: My first fandom on here was Queen/Borhap. I miss those days! That was such a lovely community and it made Covid lockdown days a lot brighter :')

Favourite Old Fandom You Wish Would Drag You Back In/Have A Resurgence: Borhap fandom for sure!

Favourite Thing You Enjoy That Never Had an Active or Big "Fandom" but You Wish It Did: Ben Howard is my longest running favourite musician and there isn't really an online community around him which makes me sad. I'm in his subreddit but it's kinda boring there lmao, it's not really like fandom vibes. I wish more people would make art and stuff

Tempting Project You're Trying to Rein In/Don't Have Time For: you know what, I'm being rly good lately and not starting too many things!!!

I do intend to return to my sydcarmy fic Sagittarius Season in the new year, but first I need to finish my baby BOJ and put it to rest 🤗

I do have A TON more supernatural sydcarmy au ideas up my sleeve but i think i'm just gonna enjoy them in my head :))

hey bestie talk to us about the other WIPs you got going. What’s cooking. What’s simmering. What are you excited about writing 🍿

Oh, what a sexy question!! Let’s see…

Things I’ve got going:

I have a few Christmassy one-shots I’m gonna try my best to put out in the next couple weeks. They’re all half-written to varying degrees, but broadly:

Coffee bean gang reunion fic

Post-NWH, Spider-Man and the city (inspired by Noah Kahan’s Orange Juice because it has licherally changed me)

The final fic in the cycles series (The Bear), which is Tina’s story.

Things I have cooking:

Multichaps I’m gonna take my time writing and will start posting at some point in the new year:

em rallied the troops to bully me into dusting off the divorced but living together au. And it’s,,,,,,working. I already had a chapter and half written but I’ve put it through the brain blender and now I think it’s better than before

my baby, the One Day au, first chapter is almost done and I think it has potential to be A Very Good One

Things that are simmering:

I NEED to write some post NWH Gwen Stacy mannnn. Like??? That’s just delicious from any pov.

Felicia Hardy. you agree.

Writing ATH made me realise how much I enjoy writing the action of Spider-Man. In all of my fics so far Spider-Man storylines come secondary to the Peter Parker of it all. I wanna write something where Peter Parker is the side character to Spider-Man. I need one long epic of Spider-Man defeating a villain (trying, failing, trying again)…need me some traumatised, terrorised bug boy, ya feel me?

Unrelated, but I don’t think I’ve written an actual sydcarmy fic—all of my The Bear fics have been character studies, some of which have featured background sydcarmy to varying degrees but I’m tossing around ideas of writing one solid fic about them to round things off (till s3 gives me brainrot again)

This was a DELIGHT to answer, thank you!
