Slowly catching up on a totally Not Pirated version of the umbrella academy cus I dropped it after season 2, currently on episode 8 of season 3. Ben arguing with Diego in Korean and Diego arguing with Ben in Spanish is so funny to me I cannot explain just how much

Want to make a minor adjustment to my Steve With Much Older Siblings post from yesterday. I think it’d be a much more interesting dynamic if he’s actually their half sibling from an affair.

Their father had an affair with his secretary and then married her when she got pregnant. It broke up their family and they blamed Steve for it for years.

When they stayed over for their weekend with Dad, they were either outright cruel to him or pretended he didn’t exist. When they were old enough to stop coming over, they did. It’s only after growing up and maturing that (most of) his siblings were able to acknowledge that Steve was never at fault for their family breaking up.

They tried to mend their relationship with him, especially after realizing how absent his parents are, but by then Steve was old enough to build up his own resentment. It’s an uphill battle.

It’s a lot of actually coming around for holidays and a lot of teasing when they do. It’s actually picking the phone when the hospital calls, something that’s happening with increasing frequency.

Steve has never asked any of them for anything until one day, he shows up on Richie’s front porch smelling like death and gasoline. He’s got blood drying all over him and is visibly shaking, and Richie thinks that he’s been hurt in the earthquake but Steve barely acknowledges the concern, “I need you to represent my friend.”

“What?”

“You’re the only lawyer I know, and -“ Steve takes a big shuttering breath. “They’ll kill him, Rich. He never hurt anybody but no one will listen. They’ll lock him up and it won’t be fair, and Dustin can’t… I never ask you for anything but. But I need…”

“Eddie Munson?” He asks incredulous. “You’re friends with Eddie Munson?”

I know poor little meow meows are so often men but gosh do I love a little guy (who is a girl) that just has everything in the book wrong with her & also she’s got the most pathetically sad backstory ever. yes she’s capable of atrocities but have you seen her big sad eyes & her over the top depressing sob story? ignore the blood magic & grave robbing did you know her life was already so bad & then it got insurmountably worse because everyone around her couldn’t resist the urge to kick the shit out of her when she was already down 🥺

Why did Claire convince Carmy to drop HIS ideas for the menu?

So, did somebody else get upset when Carmy explained to Sydney that Claire made him realize "there are things I don't really care about...anymore" about the menu?

Like, wtf dude, this is YOUR menu, the whole point of your restaurant, why the fuck do you now think you don't care?

On Claire changing the menu

I think that Storer was really smart for not showing that scene, where Claire is comforting Carmy after his panic attack. Now, from what we can gather of the actual events, Carmy got a panic attack, then they talked about Donna driving a car through the wall of their house, and sometime before or after all that, they talked about the menu. A couple of things that, if they happened, could have been big red flags about Claire:

Why was Claire's solution to tell Carmy to forget about his original ideas for the menu? that is like "Oh honey does this cause your anxiety (you know, because you care about it) why don't you just drop it? Maybe then you will be happy" You have to treat the anxiety, not avoiding the things you care about because of it.

Did Claire dismiss Carmy's intentions on the menu, because it had to do with Syd? Like, did she actually recommended to drop it all because it would mean that Carmy and Sydney won't collaborate anymore? because Claire felt threatened? We all saw the way Claire looked at Syd.

Even if you could justify all this by "she was doing the best she knew to help him" I think the audience wouldn't have appreciated her talking Carmy into forgetting his vision for his own restaurant. That is the equivalent of Mary Jane telling Peter not to be Spiderman.

Now, and this is the really weird part, at this point Carmy is trying to make all the dishes his family made, but change them a little, recontextualize them. To make them "his own" and he told Claire about that, he part that is not clear is why he dropped the "thoughtful chaos menu" and just left the "chaos menu" My interpretation of this, again, is because thoughtful chaos can only be made by Carmy and Syd's collaboration. So Claire agreed with the things relating to the Berzatto traditions, but not, idk, Carmy's original vision for the restaurant, which may have not so much to do with her mother's recipes, and wanted to explore more to create something unique with Syd ideas too?

On Claire comforting Carmy.

Just a little last note. They had sex. Like, Claire and Carmy had sex after he got a panic attack, and the next morning he was still stressed as fuck. While just the memory of Sydney was able to calm him down from a huge panic attack (while he was thinking of Claire). Jejejeje.

Now...being serious. Idk if you think that offering sex for calming someone down is cute...I don't think it is. Even if they have already calmed down and you just want to "make their night better" or whatever.

Some people get really into sex while they get stressed, but a panic attack is more of an "I am dying' feeling, and it can depend on the person, Carmy is the kind who gets frustrated, exasperated, and violent while trying to handle his anxiety. So trying to make somebody not feel any of that that by asking them to be in the mood for fucking...Like "Oh, the trauma that you are trying to process right now honey, just don't feel it, but I want to fuck, and I know it can make you feel better" Personal opinion: gives me the ick, like 'Oh, my affection must be the answer to all your problems, my love is the only medicine you need" It all gets worse in my mind when I remember this woman is an emergency doctor, she is supposed to know some recommended procedures to help people with panic attacks, maybe she used them before they got into bed, but still, she can only presume that he is in a different head space just a few hours later, and you kinda look like and ashole if she offers and you say no.

I just don't like the idea of forcing mood changes on someone by offering them affection, especially sex. That can be really toxic for both parties.

Makes me giggle how there’s not a single Maze Runner fan playlist (that I’ve seen) that doesn’t have “Run Boy Run” by Woodkid in it

like we all saw that they run through the maze and decided that it’s illegal to not have this song in a TMR playlist

while i'm not trying to downplay sydcarm, i also feel like a lot of ppl don't realize that a lot of the parallels that are inherent to [carm's] romantic and professional bonds, and the intimacy demanded by both, exist that way bc they both demand someone's totality, they're both all-encompassing.

yes syd complements carm, but as we've seen, someone providing you palliation or being idealized to you / idealizing you, isn't enough to curtail your damage, in fact it can often make you feel trapped. it happened to carm and now its happening to syd. just in inverse ways. syd and claire may hold different positions in carm's life, but he neglected them both, and did so by undermining their respective needs for individuality and respect. he commodified them, and the extrication of their humanity harmed them both.

carmen can't engage the totality of syd's being, her capacity for love and professionalism, if he hasn't acknowledged it in himself. and he can't truly love claire if he's preferential to her romanticization over her interiority, if he hasn't reconciled with both.

carmen engages things unhealthily and compulsively, and that will be present in all of his relationships, obfuscating and marring the real love and care there, and often leading us to conflate obsession and love as he does.

"I know that we're in a cemetery and I happen to be terminal. But you got to admit the stars are lovely."

"How can you joke right now?"

"I'm not. Under the same stars, there's... There's some guy, and he's with his girl, and he's got all the time in the world, and he's right. And I hate him."

thinking about that one ask about claire getting into genetics/biology as a child but shes literally an ivf baby. i think biology would be a natural curiosity to her

[juniperhillpatient]

yes this character is lying about every single aspect of themselves & their backstory & life & religion & their entire personality is a facade & a mask yes the love interest still gets enough of a glimpse of their soul to fall truly in love but the terrifying thing is what if it doesn’t last once the mask slips away what if the only thing anyone could ever fall in love with is the facade
