Rewatching The Bear (ofc) and I really liked Pete on my first watch, but I appreciate him even more the second time. He's so sweet. The fact that he followed Carmy's career so closely, acknowledged how brave and hard it was for him to move away and achieve said career (I can't stop thinking about Pete and Sydney both fangirling over Carmy from afar before he moved back lol), defended him when he was being ribbed for being a loser at the birthday party, and generally tries so hard to befriend Carmy.

Plus, he seems like a great, supportive partner for Sugar. The fact that he's not a dirtbag or criminal like so many of the other men on this show, goes to Al Anon meetings with her, and, respectfully without getting in the middle or meddling, rightly reminds Carmen that things have been just as hard for Sugar and that Carm owes her more consistent communication and support.

Lastly, I love how Sugar and Pete both joined for family in the last episode. I want more of them in S2, specifically Sugar and Syd interactions (ideally for Sugar be the first to pick up on their chemistry) and Pete and Syd interactions (obvi to bond as mutual Carmy stans).

The Bear Season 1 Episode 6 BTS

[wittyno]

Things I want in season 2 of the bear

- a shot of Ratatouille (the food) with no context and carmy not knowing Ratatouille the movie.

- more flashbacks especially to Syd and Carmys fine dining years. Both because it be fun to see Joel McHale chef again and because it’s the perfect avenue to continue to critique the fine dining world and maybe the Michelin system, something I desperately want more of.

- Carmy, Sugar, and Mikey’s mom. If you follow @heardchef you will have seen us enter our villain eras and rant about how much angst we want to ring from their mom. Personally I think she would make Mikey’s death all about her in a really obnoxious way. People should grieve how they can, but…She feels like a woman who would make everything in her children’s lives all about her and wouldn’t consider others feelings. There is no way she handled a young Carmy (and his neurodivergency) well. Also the fact that sugar is nicknamed sugar might be a reference to how her mom treated her. I’ve also theorized that she is an alcoholic, see previously mentioned posts.

- more of Ibrahim and the gang. Marcus baking reaching new heights. Maybe him thinking of opening his own bakery and dealing with the internal struggle of that. Season one is very much about Carmy and working through his grief to acceptance, which is great. But is a thread that can now be relegated to the background. I want more about the other characters in the kitchen and their backstory. We got a bit of Tina and but I want more.

- more Richie growth. I don’t want Richie to turn into the writers excuse to make sexist comments and then excuse it by having the other characters gawk or admonish him. Community did this and it drives me up a wall. Like no, show me growth. No offense to Richie but I get why his wife left him. He’s not a stable guy. I want to meet his daughter and see more of another side to Richie. Watch him grow and see him earn a place in his daughter’s life. I don’t want him to turn into a pierce to be laughed at but not grow.

- more food porn. I mean this is a given but I want to be hungry, in more ways than one, after watching this show. I like shows that show off what their about about. Give me that food porn. Food is pretty and I think it can really drive home some cool themes.

- no time skip. Do not fucking peaky blinders me. Do not skip to the part where they are a successful restaurant. Show me more of that struggle. I get why shows do this, but I feel like it robs them of the connective tissue between season. If they do do it, I’d like it not to give me whiplash.

- IRS consequences. The 300k should be reported to the IRS and used to pay off their other debts. I know they won’t be. Cause they might be ill-gotten gains. The IRS has the time and the money to investigate and crawl so far up the bears backside that they’ll be coughing ink for a week. It’s also a nice way to continue the business side of the struggle to run a restaurant. It helps keep the connective tissue between seasons.

- more Pete. This is a Pete Stan account. I love him, and I love his and sugars relationship. Show me more of them. I love healthy couples. Show me that growth. I really want them to make him an accountant but they can’t because then why didn’t he offer to do the books for the beef. That would have had to have been established earlier. Richie and carmy would have refused but it still needed to be established.

- more worldbuilding. Maybe a competition with another shop. Maybe show some restaurant espionage. I feel like that could be played for comedic or dramatic effect.

- more trauma exploration. Peal that trauma onion for me. Show me more of the casts internal struggles. I mean Carmy will most likely remain the main character. So it most likely will be his trauma, which I’m fine with. Show me more of their mom and Of him growing up neurodivergent, cause that definitely caused trauma. Not that it has to but I am guessing that with the family he grew up in he didn’t have the best support and guidance.

- how did everyone else get into cooking? More backstories.

- I want to properly meet Syd’s dad. He seems like such an interesting character.

- another long shot episode. I know those are incredibly hard, especially with so much going on on screen. It’s one of those things that tightens the tension without making itself explicit. Had I not googled the show before watching it I wouldn’t have known it. But it ramps up the tension in a really cool way.

- more visually portraying characters inner emotions within the context of the story. This deserves its own post, but specifically the receipt printer printing Camrys inner spiraling thoughts is so cool. I want more of that. More on this in a later post.

- syd and carmy relationship. You knew this was coming but I want more of them and their blossoming whatever. I am not saying going from 10-69 but slow burn me. Slow cook me if you will.

Tw blood//

the fnaf mini games are something else

[miunadoll]

[heretyc]

eddie & val headcanons, but this time they're modern

my apologies for being inactive. my mental health became shit AGAIN

in another post i mentioned seeing a pic of val in a sweater. it's right here [i tried finding the artist but the blog that shared it to pinterest is down??? @//baldrsmoke bb come back i beg. if you find credit lemme know pls thank you]

a lot of the shit in here is unrealistic but that's the beauty of fanfiction, especially in this economy. and they will not be murderers because we deserve breaks, okay??!?!?! getting blood out of carpets is a NIGHTMARE

so because val and eddie barely have stable backstories or personalities, they are my bitches to experiment with. these aren't canon they're just....my view, you feel? that's the point of hc's but ya know, please feel free to give me your thoughts

again, they/them pronouns are used for val, see them however you wish. i see them as a milf- [i am then lovingly stabbed by val for calling them a milf and not a cilf, 'Cultist I'd Like to Fuck']

this is obvious but warning for nsfw!!!!!! duh

and a bunch of imagery is used, if that's not ur thing i am Sorry

enjoy !!!!!

☸ Eddie Gluskin —

♡ Assuming he got help for his issues and he's sane? Omg, he's a dreamboat. You are the envy of the block.

♡ He gets angry sometimes. The past never leaves you fully. But he has remedies.

♡ He has many resources to help him with his anger. He learned to put most of his emotions into his work. Some dresses may have random holes in them, but holes are a fashion statement, dammit.

♡ Loves using lavender to help him sleep. So calming.

♡ Believe it or not? Excellent at cooking. Breakfast in bed is common.

♡ Because he's old-fashioned, he is very much a gentleman. Holds doors open for you, lays down his coat so you don't get your shoes wet from a puddle. He's a typical Canadian man /satire

♡ Is loved by a lot of people for his fashion taste alone. Keep the 40s/50s alive, baby!!!

♡ Not extremely religious but prays sometimes.

♡ The man to go to when you need help regarding clothing. Have a hole? Stitches it back up. Button fell off? He's gotchu. This man is a god when it comes to repairing clothes.

He's also great when it comes to colour matching.

♡ Finds horror movies to be funny and inaccurate. Like he's seen blood and gore [thanks, childhood :/], it looks nothing like in the movies. Corn syrup? Get with the program, Carrie

♡ Has a whole ass room dedicated to his work; threads, sewing machine, extra needles...

♡ Listens to records and is beloved by the Millennials for it.

♡ Drives an old ass car, don't @ me

♡ Dislikes rap music and will loudly make his opinion known. He especially hates Eminem.

♡ Makes it a point that whenever you're upset, he's the first person you should go to. He is not letting you leave his sight without a smile on your face. A REAL one

♡ He despises alcohol and only really drinks it during events. Even then, he doesn't drink a lot, maybe a couple of sips and that's it.

♡ Dislikes Trager. A lot. If he's your doctor Eddie makes you switch 💀

♡ He's a social butterfly, why wouldn't he be with a personality as charming as his?

♡ Fucking HATES fast food, and heavily prefers homemade stuff. Fuck Burger King, all his homies hate Burger King

♡ He'd learn to knit, too.

♡ Loves winter because he has an excuse to make you sweaters. He makes you sweaters no matter the season, but you're gonna wear them during the winter, so

♡ Never ever doubt his love for you, he adores you and 100% would steal the moon for you if you asked [NASA might be mad tho]. Cheating is also out of the question, he finds it disgusting.

♡ Has an unironic love for bunnies and wants to protect them. As a result, despises animal testing. Psychologically it's because they're innocent and cute.

♡ An excellent caretaker if you're ill!! Leave everything to him, he will do the housework and errands until you're healthy again.

♡ Has a hard time expressing sadness as it's considered a weakness.

♡ Will happily make your doctor's appointments for you if you have anxiety, but encourages you to do them yourself. He'll hold your hand :3c

♡ Loves thunderstorms. He thinks thunder is calming. Gets annoyed when he sees lightning, though. It hurts his eyes.

♡ He can sometimes sneak up on you and scare you, but it's not purposeful. He can get really...quiet. [Due to his childhood...it's a skill]

♡ He's not completely opposed to the idea of traveling, but he loves being at home with you.

♡ Carries a messenger bag with him sometimes. It has glasses, a first aid kid and other essentials. Happily carries your stuff with him.

♡ If you see a spider and freak out he'll calm you down, but if it's bigger than he's used to or he's alone, he will SHRILL

♡ Gets upset if you need to leave the house for a long amount of time. He enjoys your company.

♡ If you watch Strangers Things I think he'd laugh at the fashion and feel nostalgic.

♡ Enjoys feeding the birds. Has a hummingbird feeder and your standard bird feeder outside the living room window.

♡ If you too had a childhood much like his, he will become a mixture of saddened and angered. The fact that his loved one can relate to him and had a childhood much like his own? Makes him sick.

† Val —

♡ The soft, loving partner you never knew you needed.

♡ Val is a lovebug!! Cuddles on the couch. Words of affirmation. They love showing you their adoration.

♡ They're somewhat involved with Knoth as they run the suburbs you all live in and Knoth's church is within said suburbs, but both Val and a group of people meet in secret to talk shit about him.

Oh yeah; they have orgies. You're invited too, obviously. No pressure, though.

♡ As a result of being Val's partner, you are accepted by their group and are seen as their good friend. They're all fun to speak to.

♡ They love wine. They have a whole ass cupboard full of it.

♡ They mostly wear wool sweaters because they have an excuse to give you warm hugs ♡ [also because they're cozy!!!]

♡ Extremely pale and hates going outside unless they have to because they're prone to getting sunburnt.

♡ Knows how to work the internet, surprisingly.

♡ Their hair is naturally a light blonde, so they're envied by those who have to bleach their hair.

♡ Also has naturally bright blue eyes, so everywhere you go they get complimented at least once.

♡ A dark chocolate fanatic. Yum.

♡ A cat person!! When you go to their house for the first time you are greeted by a gorgeous white cat named Ruby. She warmed up to you instantly. Val lowkey got jealous though hehe

♡ Loves you for all of your flaws.

♡ An excellent listener. They're not a therapist or anything but their advice is suspiciously perfect and works for you every time.

♡ Best friends with the doctor down the road. They're both chaotic.

♡ They love to watch horror movies with you and occasionally thirst over the characters. Scream is their favourite out of all of the iconic horror flicks. Maybe you and them should go as Billy and Stu for Halloween? Them as Billy, obviously.

♡ They are your own personal cheerleader. You accomplish something! Yayyy! You come back home with new clothes? You better run a fashion show for them. [And they probably have a cheerleader costume stashed somewhere...]

♡ Very elegant and wears expensive perfume. Always a joy to be close to because your nose is often swimming in perfume that's probably more expensive than your kidneys.

♡ Loves to spend money on you because they think you deserve it. If your childhood was difficult [like Eddie's] this increases ten fold.

♡ Regarding rough childhoods, Val always feels an anger build within them when they hear about abuse victims who experienced said abuse in their childhood. Who could harm children? They're bright, they're innocent. They will always feel like you deserved better and will assist you in undoing trauma.

Doesn't matter if it's impossible, they will try. You need meds to take? They will make you take them. They will escort you to therapy appointments. They will let you vent. They want you to feel better because you deserve the world and they can't help but want to violently hurt the person who harmed you.

♡ Prefers wearing dark colours, like black and navy blue, but will wear light ones, too. Mainly cream or coral.

♡ They enjoy wearing accessories. Their rosaries are their favourites. They get you your own rosaries after a year of dating. [With your initials carved into them, duhhh]

♡ Got their genitals pierced after they turned 18 and never took them out. They got them for the aesthetic, they kept them for sexual benefits.

♡ Prefers to stay alone and rest when they get sick, liking to take things into their own hands and not burdening you, but becomes a Momma when you're ill. Soup, cold cloth, bedrest, the works.

♡ Obviously a sexual icon. They're sex positive and do not judge what someone enjoys sexually. Unless of course it's morally gross.

♡ Expect sex. Like...at the most, 5 times a week. The whipped cream in the fridge isn't for ice cream, I'll tell you that.

♡ Regarding sexual piercings, they'd love and support you if you got some done, too. They'll hold your hand when you get them cause they hurt like a bitch. [My friend got nipple piercings...the screams of pain she let out y'all 😭 don't let that stop you if you want some though!!]

♡ Has no understanding of memes but loves when you explain them. They're amused and still don't get it but they see how happy they make you and how they make you laugh, so they'll listen for as long as they need to.

♡ They're liked by a lot of people because of how accepting and nice they are, but they prefer being alone with you and Ruby.

♡ They hate idiocy, which is why they want to leave Knoth. Ugh.

♡ Has somewhat of a Southern accent.

♡ Loves gardening because they grow their own flowers and give them to you on Valentines day. Romantic.

♡ Baking desserts is a common thing the both of you do. Expect them to feed you the batter.

♡ They're generally a pacifist but regarding you or something else, they will Exchange Fists

♡ An excellent babysitter. This was to be expected.

♡ Doesn't like video games too much but will watch you play them as they sip on wine.

♡ They're a night owl.

♡ Likes it whenever you get scared, whether during a thunderstorm or a scary movie, because they can comfort you.

♡ They're tall as fuck and you need them to grab things for you from the higher shelves at the grocery store. Sometimes, at home, they'll put things you need on higher shelves so you ask them for help.

♡ Befriends ravens so they can train the things to steal from Knoth. Yes, it's possible. You can thank them for the occasional rings and coins.

♡ Like Eddie, they carry a messenger bag with them if you're both going out.

♡ They like the suburbs but enjoy the country life even more. They'd take you and the cat out into the country if they weren't a deacon.

♡ Gets annoyed when others mock their drawl, but when you do it, they find it cute. You're not mocking them to be a dick.

♡ Is the designated driver on road trips and lets you play your music.

♡ They can handle the heat. If you can't, they find it amusing but makes sure you take care of yourself.

♡ Uses mainly pet names. Your real name is maybe used once a day 😭

♡ They find gender stereotypes stupid and wear whatever tf they feel like. They encourage you to wear whatever you want.

♡ Lets you paint their nails or do their makeup or whatever if you're practicing. They'll just stare at their phone and patiently wait.

If you did a poor job, they won't tell you.

"How did I do?" "...Perfect, my love. Absolutely perfect. [cringes when you're not looking]"

♡ They buy the full size chocolate bars on Halloween. They're not Satan.

♡ They think you need to be protected. All the time.

"I'll get that." "Val, it's just someone at the door." "Okay, and? What if it's a murderer? We've seen Halloween, dear. Let me get it."

♡ The big spoon. But enjoys being the little spoon sometimes.

♡ They're a switch. They're dom until you make a move. They encourage you, too.

♡ Their lips are plump so their kisses are really nice. MWAH

♡ Unironically enjoys pumpkin spiced things. They make their stuff at home, though. ♡ They enjoy lollipops. They're also easy to seduce someone with. Val as the Lollipop Chainsaw protagonist, anyone?

[heardchef]

carmy + sugar i love their sibling dynamic so much. sugar already lost one brother, and she's trying so hard to hold on to the only one she has left.

i love the moments they have together, especially when they clash. the restaurant is this force that's simultaneously drawing them together and pulling them apart. it's one of the last pieces of michael they have. 

for natalie, the restaurant is like a beast that's steadily consuming her family. it sucks up all of her time, eats away at all of her money, and it led to michael's death. now, it has carmen in its grasp too.

for carmy, the restaurant is his only means of trying to understand michael. carmen desperately wants to know why his brother, his best friend, and in some ways probably his hero, completely dismissed his presence in the one place he felt they could truly communicate. 

michael's death sent both carmen and natalie spiraling, and the restaurant is this flashpoint of emotional baggage for them but for widly different reasons. 

i love how even with all of that going on, they share little moments together that they can't with anyone else. 

carmy calling pete instead of natalie because he's too afraid to call his big sister after ignoring her, knowing that she'll rightfully call him out. when carmy does finally reach natalie, he avoids all of the things they really should be talking about and instead brings up his half-assed apology to pete as an opener, only to be dismissed because sugar sees right through it and his 'soft, shitty bitch' behavior.

moments like sugar asking carmen if he'll fight with her again after they have an argument in her kitchen. because for every missed call natalie leaves carmen, every minute he starts retreating into the restaurant's grip, that's still her little brother, and she'll be there to pull him back to her side.

moments like carmen returning the favor in his own way, by asking natalie if she wants to fight as they sit on the floor of what used to be michael's office. he's extending an olive branch to his sister after withdrawing from her for so long by finally giving her a chance to say all the things he couldn't let her before.

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

there's something really soft and almost... careful, I guess?? about how Carmy says Syd's name, especially when he uses her full name and actually calls her Sydney (this kitchen is full of people whose love language is nicknames), and I cannot figure it out??? like there's something different about how he says her name vs how he says anyone else's and I don't think it's at all conscious, I think maybe to some degree it's familiarity; they don't know each other as well as anyone else, Syd is a central part of the restaurant but she's also still the new girl, and obviously there's this kind of instant connection and they have a lot of communication that's just half-finished sentences and understanding, but also. also. there's a bit of caution. idk I just think the way he says her name is really interesting and I want to figure out WHY he sounds so much softer with her than anyone else, even when he's annoyed

[thegirlwhowatchedeverything]

What's more intimate and found family than nicknames?
