PREOCCUPIED. AYO EDEBIRI SYDNEY ADAMU. JEREMY ALLEN WHITE CARMY BERZATTO THE BEAR

[freedelusionshere]

This Amazon X-Mas movie, Something From Tiffany’s, the main character is basically a Syd clone (cook, quirky, kind) and the handsome guy with amazing eyes is a sensitive creative that falls for her at first sight.

sometimes autism got me lying cus im so desperate to connect my hyper fixations somehow. “sydcarmy is kinda poolverine coded" no its not. u just made that up.

A great example of investing vs not investing us in a scene on purpose, I'm gonna use two different shows' examples but you'll follow along regardless:

In The Bear, Carmy promised Sydney he would work on the menu with her but spends time with Claire instead.

In Stranger Things, Mike intends to look for El, who is crying alone somewhere, but instead stops to talk to Will about their relationship.

In the first, we root for Sydney. In the second, we root for Mike and Will. Why?

In The Bear, they tell(show) us "Carmy promised Sydney he'd work with her" then have him spend time with Claire instead. Additionally, we are shown Sydney alone without him and irritated about that throughout. Now, they have made every moment with Claire he is happy and relaxed - something we should be rooting for because we never see him like that - instead recognize a broken promise and stress he is causing someone we care about.

In Stranger Things, we see Mike and Will looking for El together before it comes up in an argument about looking for her that they haven't talked all day and they stop walking, stop looking for her, to argue about why they didn't keep in touch. After this conversation is over, they continue walking to look for her and the camera zooms in to reveal they just walked past the closet she was crying in. But in this scene, they have given us permission to become invested in Mike and Will's conversation by allowing us to temporarily forget about El. In not telling us where she was until after, or even confirming/showing that she was still crying, we were able to treat the scene as if it were just about Mike and Will, dropping the urgency to find her completely and allowing the pause on it to happen.

Had they shown him with Claire then revealed that he had stood Sydney up, or even omitted the clips of her upset with him, we likely would have been able to root for Carmy and Claire.

Had they started the scene with El crying in the closet, not yet having been found, or at any point shown her overhearing the fact that they stopped looking and started talking about something else, we would not have been invested in their conversation at all.

THAT is how they manipulate who you side with. That is how they make you root for who they want you to root for. That is how they, as I say, don't write what you want, but make you want what they write.

So simple, so small: order of clips, inclusion of the affected character or not. And it changes entirely what you thought were your own voluntary desires for how the story goes next.

It's the same situation, it's fascinating to study. One person shirks their responsibilities to someone who needs them to spend time with another love interest. And they got us to root for different people in near identical situations. But not identical shot lists.

THIS is the shit I LOVE to study. How to puppeteer an audience while letting them think they formed their own opinions. AMAZING.

Oh, precious, precious silver and gold

And pearls in oyster's flesh

Drop down we two to serve and pray to love

Born again from the rhythm

Screaming down from heaven

Ageless, ageless, I'm there in your arms

Don't want to weep for you

I don't want to know

I'm blind and tortured, the white horses flow

The memories fire

The rhythms fall slow

Black beauty, I love you so

So, so, so

Oh, the welts of your scorn, my love, give me more

Send whips of opinion down my back, give me more

Well it's you I've waited my life to see

It's you I've searched so hard for

(Mojo Pin- Jeff Buckley)

This is why IK they are gonna win the star in S4

When FOH & BOH start communicating and working in sync- or as Carmy put it: "Vibrantly collaborating" or as The Blues Brothers put it: succeed on the divine mission of raising the money, they will save the orphanage, win the star, and save the restaurant.

And that´s not the best part,

this is

The point is what that star represents in terms of Sydcarmy endgame because Carmy doesn´t deem himself worthy of pursuing Syd (amusement or enjoyment, AKA: love) till her wins it for her, because in his mind they are not doing it together, YET, up until now, he was doing it for her, it was his way of not leaving her alone and deliver on his promise.

I´m not saying it was the correct way, I said "HIS".

And the star is gonna come when:

They are no longer actively pursuing.

And when the BOH & the FOH communicate effectively, in canon terms: When Carmy and Richie make up.

And lastly, they make such a big deal about the menu, because THE MENU has to change for the star to happen:

They will be "the happy people" once they win the star, that´s for sure:

And once they win it, it´s Sydcarmy endgame time!

Or as Richie puts it:

Meat

We all know what I think MEAT is code for on this show. I still think so. So last year I got to the conclusion that what Carmy was sketching was probably gonna be the dish they were gonna win the star with:

But when I saw this year´s poster I elevated that dish to a potential SYDCARMY ENDGAME CATALYST dish, along the lines of the Paupiette of Hamachi with red blood orange sauce, meaning, I still think it has huge chances of being the star winner, sure, but what if they lose it at first with that one, to win it later, kinda like Will Guidara´s true story, and when they win it they actually do it with that dish Carmy feeds Donna with in the teaser, which coincidentally looks a lot like a Sydcarmy version, well balanced on the acid, of S1´s Coca Cola braised short-ribs?

This means that if I´m right, they will win the star with the Sydcarmy dish that Carmy will finally rate as "PERFECT".

And they will lose it with the one featured on the poster:

But with the one on the poster, Carmy will win Syd over if he confesses that he created it for her and that he has been thinking about it for a year now, obsessing over it even.

So that will maybe lead to a confession of a different sort, that has less to do with work and more to do with MEAT a more personal aspect.

If I´m wrong, they will win the star with the dish Marcus is creating (as @afrofairysblog predicted in the Under the Table Sydcarmy pod)

Which is why it´s all over the trailer and I´d love that! But only if Sydcarmy goes canon with a "meaty" dish this season.

So summing up the star will come this year, probably via the lamb rib, the lamb ragú, the short-ribs (my personal preference is the short-ribs and it´s the dish I think has better chances) but the lamb rib looks like a winner too, it´s just that I don´t think that Storer would spoil such an important dish on the actual poster of the season, so I´m thinking now that it´s more of a "sydcarmy confession dish" that will make the Hamachi heart´s case even more bulletproof for Carmy to make in Syd´s court and the star will then come via the short-ribs, but both have amazing chances IMO.

The point is that the winner dish has to have meat in it as main ingredient, so they can fuck to celebrate and confirm my Meat theory, lolol! That being said, I don´t think Sydcarmy sex is a S4 dish, but if there´s a S5, as all is pointing at, unfortunately, it will be served then.

Bonus track: Tina is foreshadowing that Syd is ready to go too.

↑ That´s Richie´s frame with Tina´s voice still synced in the trailer, a split second later he goes: SHOWTIME! Coincidence? IDTS.

EASY BEING GREEN. AYO EDEBIRI SYDNEY ADAMU JEREMY ALLEN WHITE CARMY BERZATTO. THE BEAR. SYDCARMY CODED

[freedelusionshere]

The thing that Syd and Carmy agreed to do in S1 has never truly come to fruition. Elements of it have, but they’re mostly superficial like danish style and two tops. The brigade kind of derailed that from the start.

But it doesn’t mean it can’t still happen. Syd not signing the partnership agreement after broken promises but still sticking around means her heart is still in it. That’s why she has the panic attack.

Carmy saying that he’s “sick of this” is as much about the system he recreated as anything. He knows he fucked up, he’s messed up with Syd, and he confronts Chef David. Ever is gone and he knows he’s let life pass him by.

Neither one of them really know how to do it differently. They’ve both been schooled to follow the Escoffier fine dining system. That’s why they both fall so easily back into the traps.

Chef Terry told Carmy that she felt invincible when she was younger and made tons of mistakes. We know that Syd and Carmy make each other feel invincible because we’ve seen it. They can still do their dream, they just have to be willing to take the leap into the unknown together.

“He dedicated his time towards understanding her. He didn’t want it to feel as if she was undecipherable- so he studied. Studied her like you would a tome- scribbling along the margins when he found something particularly striking; crowning words with question marks when he came across concepts he couldn’t quite comprehend. Reading and remembering until he could recite each sentence in his sleep. He was never a good nor a dedicated student, but to this he was wholly committed.”
