Before you, his sex life were mainly hookups that always involved her facing away. He did not care at all about eye contact or passion it was just a way to help himself relieve stress.
But then he met you and now all he wants is to make you feel good and loved. He likes having you in the missionary position where he can look at your beautiful features and see how good he can make you feel. Soft little kisses here and there, sometimes your foreheads would touch, you had a way of making his soft self come out. Thats not to say he's lost touch with his rough persona, sometimes he fucks you in the most heinous positions and at rough speeds, but there's love that's what changed. There's always love in your intimate encounters.
And you always feel so good. Fuck you drive him nuts. He doesn't know what the hell he did to deserve this but with you its like heaven on earth. He loves loving you.

Writing this took me a while, and I go back to it occasionally because it's such a chaotic episode. I've listened to so many timers ringing that now I question if it's real. So, this post is heavy on scene analysis. If you like this type of shit, read on and enjoy.
Another note: This post is really dedicated to my sydcarmy folks. Studying this episode confirmed how detailed Storer, Calo, and Senior are in making this show. They are genuinely thoughtful creators, so learning this episode affirms that we're not imagining Syd & Carmy's relationship being the center of this story. For time plays a theme in The Bear.
Time serves a particular purpose in this episode; we can't escape the ringing in the foreground; it's a humming of sorts, but when it sounds off loud and clearly, it becomes its own character in The Berzatto Home. The ring is loud and clear only with dialogue and meaningful action. This dialogue and action lead us to unresolved issues that later hit a nerve at the table and the rest of the season- time guides us when there's an emotional shift in the story.
I'll consider this added pressure of time as the beats of the episode.
What are beats?
A story beat is a shift in the narrative. Story beats can be emotional turns, incidents or events, actions, reactions, or realizations. They can even be slight shifts in narrative tone or a character's emotional arc. Essentially, beats are small moments that move the story forward.
An important note for Fishes: We only get a break from the timer during moments that establish the relationship between two characters.
Let's take a look at the timer:
1. "It's fucking Christmas, why would you say you didn't wanna come back?" "Whatever. Okay." TIMER
The emotional shift: Resentment. This is the second moment of tension between Mikey and Carmy, along with a realization of Carmy's truth that he wants to keep his distance from his family. It's a moment of hurt from Mikey. This exchange of dialogue is the emotional shift of the story, and time is giving us a break from Mike and Carmy's tension.
2. Donna Calls Richie in the kitchen TIMER . A beat change where Richie enters the kitchen- time tells us it's a shift in the scene and an introduction to Tiffany and Richie's relationship.
3. An Action Beat: TIMER tells us it's an unresolved issue and It's a break (for now) of viewers having to pay attention to Tiffany and Richie- we'll learn more later.
The TIMER also serves a purpose as it guides us to Natalie.
4. Natalie pours out the alcohol as the TIMER goes off. This is also considered an action beat, moving the story forward as we pay attention to Natalie's role in the family.
5. Uncle Lee & Move the Fucking Pot:
We hear the timer distinctly in this scene twice. One is when Lee is introduced to the story, and the second time, we listen to it loud and clearly at the start of Donna demanding Carmy move the pot; this is a change in the story as Donna's first pile-up occurs. This scene tells us two things: One, that Lee will play a vital role in the episode and The Berzatto family, and two, we're watching just how bad Donna's anger could get.
The timer is not just adding to the chaos in Fishes; it's guiding us through the story.
Hi! Can I request the rise! Boys x reader who has a habit of wandering off without telling anybody? Like, one moment reader is standing next to them in the hidden city and the next they’ve been accepted into a street gang ☠️
Wandering
RotTMNT x gn!reader
Warnings: panic, slight angst, fluff, short
A/N: requests will reopen on the 20th, but I won't be working on them until March.
Donnie
He put a tracker on you
Then he found out you were a wanderer
Donnie doesn't mind at all
Due to his tracker, it's not that big of a deal
Although... He does panic for a moment before remembering the tracker
Leo
Panic
He'll look around for you
Yelling your name
Where are you?
Did you get grabbed?
Did someone take you?
When he finds you, he cradles your face
He'll lecture you a little
About safety and staying close
Mikey
He's a wanderer
So when you manage to wander away from each other
It's not a big deal
Normally both of you make a plan of where to meet back up and when
So when you wander off, he is too
He doesn't panic, he knows the plan
Raph
Absolutely terrified
You were just next to him
Was he not paying attention?
Did someone take you?
Were you in danger?
He feels dread and panic
He fidgets as he looks for you
When he eventually finds you, he hugs you tight
Raph might cry a little depending on how long he was looking for you
LET ME JUST SAY THIS. FISHES EPISODE. MIKEY VERSUS THE WORLD
Mikey was throwing forks at Lee and the people at the table were like "MIKEY no, stop Mikey" and feeling all awkward etc
Look at these faces
Look
Look
Tension is high
I'm gonna say this. I'm the type of person who will sit there and watch you throw a fork.
If I feel off I'll step out of the room
But apart from that I'm of the opinion that irl or in FISHES if MIKEY is throwing a fork at Lee, it's for a reason.
Quite frankly I want to know what that reason is
Also I want Mikey to have the freedom to bring up whatever he feels he's been wronged about.
Usually when people jump in and stop fights they hold back the person who has a right to their anguish, and they protect an instigator/bully/ horrible person.
So it frustrated me when they jumped on Mikey's back
What? Are y'all so desperate to eat baked branzini?
Y'all don't have food at home?
I would have defended Mikey. I'm not into placating horrible people
