Further Thoughts: Omelette

This man, to me, sees himself as a means to an end. Now, may that be a tool for others’ to utilize him or Carmy himself trying to live his life, I don’t know. But, I do know that this man doesn’t always know how to accept that he’s worth so very much.

Carmen’s drive is admirable. He knows what he can do, who he can be, and how to get there. I would badger this man to the ends of the Earth to gain all his culinary secrets. And, when I finally found him, he would teach me everything. In less than a heartbeat.

Carmen is a giver. He likes to take care of people. There have been many scenes were he's allowed everyone space to find their way while gently encouraging them. It is beautiful to see. He’s not showy about it. Yet we see it in the words of support, the guidance, or the resources provided to others that have skill but don’t have the foundation just yet.

There’s so many thoughts swirling around about Carmen from his utter courage and strength to his willingness to nurture/mentor a talented chef to him trusting explicitly and implicitly in his team…so many thoughts – Carmen is a good person who takes on all the pressure and is quick to put himself on the back burner. It’s why I wrote “He knows he will. He always does.” I don't think he will fuck up in the end. He's just waiting until he does.

And through all this anxiety, he does find beauty and meaning in cooking. Working in the culinary field may not be fun for him for some time as he said with Ritchie down in the random basement (The OG had a basement all this time and we've seen it but once!). Yet, I think he's finding the joy he once had when he's with Sydney.

Their energy is symbiotic...similarly-minded and enjoyed. I can't think of the exact post but I saw where someone showed gifs of Carmen smiling and laughing when he's with Sydney alone together. There's so much between the two.

Sydney is a catalyst. What she brings and offers speaks to Carmen. I haven't quite figured out how to express my experience (read as joy and probable transference) of Sydney over these past two seasons. She has her traumas and MH issues (potentially the acid reflux/GERD she's been experiencing is a physical symptom/outcome). And there's something about Sydney that I haven't been able to put my finger on. Maybe I'm not ready to see all of her just yet.

Gotta love this damn show!

Can't wait for season IX of The Bear when this song plays as the team catches Syd and Carmy kissing through the glass partition in the wall separating BOH & FOH 🥴

People are talking, talking 'bout people

I hear them whisper, you won't believe it

They think we're lovers kept under cover

I'll just ignore it, but they keep saying

We laugh just a little too loud

Stand just a little too close

We stare just a little too long

Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'

Let's give 'em something to talk about

Let's give 'em something to talk about

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love?

I feel so foolish, I never noticed

You'd act so nervous

Could you be falling for me?

It took a rumor to make me wonder

Now I'm convinced I'm going under

Thinking 'bout you everyday

Dreaming 'bout you every night

I'm hoping that you feel the same way

Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'

Let's give 'em something to talk about

A little mystery to figure out, babe

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love, love, love?

Let's give 'em something to talk about, babe

A little mystery to figure out

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about love?

Ooh, listen up, baby

A little mystery won't hurt

Let's give 'em something to talk about

How about our love, love, love, love?

How about love, love, love?

Genuine question why did camp here and there just not take off on tumblr? I mean let’s be honest they got will fucking wood to do the music and write songs about the characters, it seems perfectly up the alley of a certain niche of tumblrina, yet I never see anything about it??

[standupcomedyhistorian]

Hey, everyone!

I grabbed a ticket to see Theater Camp at my local indie theater for this afternoon. I have NEVER seen a movie by myself before (and this is the exact type of film my ex would hate), so it'll be a totally new experience for me.

I've heard it's wonderful and hilarious, so it sounds right up my alley. Plus, it's got two of my favorite female comedians: Amy Sedaris and Ayo Edebiri! 🙌🏼

Amy, as you may know, was a part of two of my favorite programs—Strangers with Candy (along with Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello) and At Home with Amy Sedaris (where I first saw the hysterical Cole Escola!).

And Ayo is fantastic in everything, particularly as the new voice of Missy on Big Mouth and as Sydney on The Bear (and, yes, my post on that INCREDIBLE show will be up in September...I'm assuming it's going to sweep the Emnys!).

I will let you all know how the film is, and keep it here for more comedy fun! ✌🏼🐔

iliterally cant wait to be in the dunes crowd so bad god they look like they know how to have fucking FUN

[november-rising]

I’m back on the “Last Train Home” listening-on-repeat kick. The lyrics evolve each time I listen to it. And I’m hearing Carmy more and more.

I’ve written about this song here and here as it connects to the show. I wrote in one post:

Mikey is providing amusement, entertainment and fun. Mickey knows how to tell without saying anything.

I still believe this. And if Mikey was the string of entertainment and fun that pulled everyone together, what does that say about the family?

What could that mean for Carmy? Is that why he can’t comprehend fun - amusement and enjoyment? He had it and it was a facade. It was a barricade Mickey put up. It alienated him from Natalie. And it made him resent Richie for sharing actual exciting moments with Mickey. Fun, in a way, was a weapon used offensively and defensively.

Michael Berzatto was the bond that made the family stay together. And it was all a lie. Carmen’s life has been a facade of crafted, crass jokes, tenuous parentification, and unadvertised lying under the guise of love. Perhaps that’s why he’s quick to anger when things are said and expected but doesn’t go as according to plan - especially when this happens to people he actually believes and believes in.

…by people I mean Sydney.

Nellie Small (right in both pictures) met Edith Meggitt in Sydney in the late 1920s. At the time, Nellie was an out-of-work performer, making ends meet working as a caretaker in a block of flats and running a private library out of her home. Edith was a housewife raising two young children.

The two women immediately became close, and not long after that first chance meeting, Nellie moved in with Edith and her family. She lived with the Meggitts for the rest of her life.

Nellie went on to become a successful male impersonator, recognised throughout Australia as one of the country's best jazz singers, while Edith supported her from the front row of every show, and picked out her socks and ties behind the scenes.

Unknown, the Wandering Hero

So! We all know the typical Vivisection AU, right? Danny is revealed to his parents and they take it in all the wrong ways. They capture him, Vivisect him, and eventually he manages to escape with the help of his friends.

But what about his Rouges?

Sure, we all like to think of some of the more friendly ones like Ember, or Sydney, or Johnny 13 and Kitty, but he has WAY more Evil Rouges than good ones.

Without Danny there to reign them in, the Rouges spread out across the world to fulfill their obsessions, unhampered by the Heroes and Villains of the world that have no means to fight them.

And Danny? He feels responsible. He was the one to open the Gate, he was the Sacrifice, the one to let them through. And when the going got tough he just up and left? No, that won't do.

His Obsession is Protection for a reason, and nothing has changed. All he needs to do is expand his area of focus a little.

Danny, after healing up, starts wandering the world in search of the Ghosts who have escaped into the Mortal Realm. He battles all of his old foes, as well as many new ones who he hadn't met before.

His travels take him far and wide.

He defeats Skulker in Metropolis, as he is trying to hunt down the Super Family for their pelts. They are the last of their race after all, so he is inclined to try and hunt them. Honestly dealing with Skulker was easy, dealing with the Rich Asshole who was funding him was a nightmare.

He chases down Spectra in Gotham as she tries to feed on the misery of an entire City. (Thanks to @impyssadobsessions for the idea, this Prompt specifically). She is actually a very tough fight, especially powered by both the Misery of an Entire City as well as his Own Misery, but he manages.

He defeats Technus is Central City, as he tries to Raid Star Labs for their advanced Tech. It actually took a while to beat him after he amped himself with all that Power, and he did need help from the Local Hero to deal with him. He's just thankful Technus is one of the more "Harmless" ones.

After every Victory, he sends them back to the Realms using the Banishing Spell that Sam taught him a while back (the only bit of magic he ever really managed to master).

He knows they'll eventually find their way back out, but it's all he can do anymore. It's his eternal Punishment for unleashing them out into the World in the first place. He was the Catalyst for this Situation, now he was tasked with Fixing it, no matter how long it took.

...

The Justice League is caught in a tricky situation a the moment.

In the past few months, they have been encountering more and more of these Extra Dimensional Beings known as Realms Ghosts across the World.

Justice League Dark has had some success in battling them, but even they are getting tired of having to deal with every single incident alone.

They did get approached by a Government Agency known as the Ghostly Investigation Ward that seemed to want to help, but it didn't take long to realize that their main Aim was to Genocide the entire Race. The JLA had quickly cut ties after realizing that, and took what little Tech and Information they had been able to gather.

Still, it wasn't easy to deal with these Entities.

Thankfully, they have had some outside help. An Unknown Being has been routinely showing up whenever a Realms Ghost appears and defeating them, before using a (as described by Constantine) "Rudimentary Banishing Spell held together by willpower and luck" to send them back to their home Dimension. There's honestly no way it should be functional, but he did make it work either way.

They don't know much about this Unknown, aside from the fact that he seems to be the only one able to consistently damage the Realms Ghosts. His Powerset leads them to belive he may be from the same Dimension, or at least drawing his power from the same Source, but as he actively avoids the League and takes every opportunity to not talk to them, they know they aren't getting any answers any time soon.

Over the past few months, they had affectionately started referring to him as Unknown, creative they know, because they could never get his Real Name. Sure, some of the Realms Ghosts seemed to recognize him, but they always called him stuff like "Whelp" and "Punk" and "Usurper", which were not very good names to use when referring to him. Although the last one was a bit concerning.

They had only managed to trade a few quick words with Unknown in the past few months, but it was enough to get the Gist of it. He was just doing his job, sending the Realms Ghosts back where they belonged. There was apparently a Tear in Reality letting them through, but he seemed hesitant to reveal what he knew about it.

After a few months of sparse interactions, they eventually managed to convince him to at least take an Emergency Communicator. Just in case. They even let him take it apart to look for any Tracking Devices, which earned them a small bit of trust. They took whatever wins they could.

Fortunately, it seemed he never did need it. In fact he was getting more and more efficient with every battle, defeating his foes in half the time it would have taken before.

Unfortunately, it didn't last forever. One day, the Communicator went off, a distorted voice quickly saying, "Need backup, some of them decide to Team Up" before cutting out.

They quickly rushed to his location, finding an active battlefield with no less that a dozen Ghosts battling Unknown. And he seemed to be on the ropes.

With their arrival, the combined force of the Justice League and Unknown eventually managed to defeat the Group of Ghosts. Justice League Dark volunteered to work on the Banishing Spells while the others cleaned up the damage from the Battle.

One of them approached Unknown to make sure he was ok, and froze.

During the battle, Unknown's Mask had been Torn off, and they could finally see the face of the Hero they had been working with for the past few months.

And he was a Child.
