hope you like it!! <3

Hit Me Up ➵ Matt Sturniolo

The car was filled with its usual lively energy, the kind of banter that made the Sturniolo Triplets’ videos so entertaining. You were sitting in the backseat, right next to Nick, with Chris and Matt in the front. The camera propped up in the front caught everyone’s reactions, as usual. Today was special, though. They had asked their fans to send in questions for you.

As someone who had appeared on their channel here and there over the years, people were always curious about you—how you fit in with the triplets and, more specifically, about your relationship with Matt. Today’s video was meant to be light and fun, a chance for you to answer some of the silly and random questions their followers had sent in.

The laughter came easily as Chris read the first few questions, and you answered, giving playful responses while Nick threw in his sarcastic commentary. Everything was going fine, until Chris’s voice trailed off as he read one of the questions that had come in.

“Oh, okay, we’ve got a spicy one,” he said, holding back a laugh as his eyes darted from the screen to you and Matt. “‘Give me a chance, Y/N, I’ll treat you way better than Matt.’”

Your stomach dropped, and for a split second, the air in the car felt heavier. You could feel Matt tense in the front seat, his hands gripping the steering wheel a little too tightly. The joking atmosphere shifted.

Instead of brushing it off, you felt a mischievous grin tug at your lips. You looked straight into the camera and, with a playful tone, replied, “Hit me up, you know my Insta.”

You could hear Nick and Chris laugh at your response, but Matt… Matt didn’t say anything. His jaw clenched ever so slightly, his gaze fixed on the road ahead. You could feel his mood darken from where you sat, and the lighthearted energy in the car shifted awkwardly as the conversation moved on.

The rest of the video felt different. Whenever someone tried to involve Matt in the conversation, he gave short, clipped answers, his usually playful tone replaced with something colder. You glanced at him through the rearview mirror a few times, but he avoided your gaze, his eyes glued to the road or the questions on his phone.

It wasn’t long before Nick noticed Matt’s shift in mood. “What’s with you, Matt? You good, bro?” Nick asked, eyeing him curiously.

“Yeah,” Matt muttered, his voice tight, “just tired.”

That was a lie. Everyone in the car knew it. You tried to shake off the sinking feeling in your chest as you realized he was actually mad about your joke, and though you wanted to say something, you knew this wasn’t the time or place. Not on camera.

The rest of the video dragged on, Matt growing more and more snappy with each passing minute. When it was finally over, Nick turned off the camera, and you all sat in silence for a moment before heading back home. The tension between you and Matt was palpable.

When you arrived at the house you shared with the triplets, Matt was out of the car as soon as it was parked, muttering something about going to his room. He didn’t wait for anyone, didn’t say a word to you. The door slammed behind him, leaving you standing there with Nick and Chris.

Nick gave you a look, his eyebrows raised. “What the hell was that about?”

You shrugged, trying to play it off even though your heart was sinking. “I think he’s mad about that question.”

Nick chuckled. “You’re kidding, right? It was obviously a joke.”

“Yeah, well, Matt’s being Matt,” Chris said, his voice a little softer. “Maybe you should go talk to him?”

You nodded, already dreading the conversation that was about to come. You made your way inside and up to Matt’s room. The door was closed, and you hesitated for a moment before knocking gently.

“What?” His voice was sharp, but you could tell he was trying to keep it in check.

You slowly opened the door, peeking inside. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his elbows resting on his knees, staring at the floor. His usual laid-back expression was replaced with a frown, his whole body tense.

“Can I come in?” you asked, your voice soft.

He didn’t look at you, but he gave a small nod. You stepped inside and closed the door behind you, walking over to sit beside him on the bed.

There was a beat of silence, the weight of unspoken words hanging between you.

“You’re mad,” you finally said, though it wasn’t really a question.

Matt sighed, running a hand through his hair. “Of course I’m mad, Y/N. How am I supposed to feel when you joke about that?”

You frowned, the confusion and frustration starting to bubble up inside you. “It was a joke, Matt. You know that, right?”

“Yeah, well, it didn’t feel like one.” His voice was tight, the hurt seeping through despite his attempt to keep it at bay. “It’s not funny to hear someone say they’d treat you better than me, and then for you to play along with it? What was I supposed to think?”

You stared at him, your heart sinking further as you realized how deeply it had affected him. “Matt, I didn’t mean it. You know that I’d never actually—”

He cut you off, finally looking up at you, his eyes filled with frustration. “But you said it. You said, ‘Hit me up, you know my Insta,’ like… like it wouldn’t bother me at all. Do you have any idea how that made me feel? Like I’m not enough.”

His words hit you hard, guilt settling in as you realized how much your thoughtless comment had hurt him. You reached out, placing a hand on his knee. “I’m sorry, Matt. I didn’t think… I didn’t realize it would hurt you like that. It was stupid. I shouldn’t have said it.”

He let out a slow breath, his shoulders sagging as some of the tension left his body. “I just… I don’t like the idea of anyone thinking they could take you away from me.”

Your heart clenched at the vulnerability in his voice, and you moved closer, wrapping your arms around him. He tensed for a moment before finally relaxing into your embrace, resting his head on your shoulder.

“No one could ever take me away from you,” you whispered, your voice soft and full of reassurance. “I’m with you because I want to be. I love you, Matt. You’re more than enough for me.”

He didn’t say anything at first, but you felt his arms slowly wrap around you, holding you close. The warmth of his body against yours made the tension in the room start to melt away, replaced by the comfort of being together.

“I love you too,” he mumbled, his voice quieter now, more gentle. “I’m sorry for snapping at you… I just— I don’t know, sometimes I get insecure.”

You pulled back slightly to look at him, brushing a hand through his hair. “You don’t need to be insecure. I’m not going anywhere, okay?”

Matt gave a small nod, his eyes softening as he looked at you. “Okay.”

You smiled, pressing a soft kiss to his forehead, and he closed his eyes, letting out a content sigh as he leaned into your touch. For a moment, you both just sat there, the weight of the argument fading away as you held each other.

“Come on,” you said after a while, your voice soft and teasing. “Let’s go lay down.”

Matt nodded, a small smile tugging at his lips as he followed you to the bed. You curled up together, his arms wrapped securely around you as you rested your head on his chest. The warmth of his body and the steady beat of his heart beneath you was all the reassurance you needed.

“I’m really sorry,” you whispered again, tracing small patterns on his chest.

He kissed the top of your head, his hand rubbing slow, soothing circles on your back. “It’s okay. I just… I love you so much. It freaks me out sometimes.”

You smiled against his chest, your heart swelling with affection for him. “I love you too, Matt. Always.”

And with that, the last remnants of the argument dissolved, replaced by the comforting quiet of being in each other’s arms. The world outside didn’t matter anymore — it was just you and Matt, together, as it had always been.

The Bear Season 3 and The Mirror (1975)

The Bear S3 felt like C Storer watched Andrei Tarkovsky's The Mirror (1975)

(which can be watched for free and restored High Definition on Mosfilm's YouTube channel below:)

and got wrapped up in replicating a 10 episode season long psychological non linear experimental drama of that nature, especially with its visuals and themes - but the reason The Mirror is profound and meditative to me is the framing device of the narrative with the protagonist being a man on his death bed whose life is literally flashing before his eyes in disjointed and disconcerting / disoriented vignettes, even down to dreams and reminisces being dominated by memories of his mother and his ex-wife ( btw, two characters who, in a clear allusion to unresolved Oedipal trauma, are played by the same actress, Margarita Terekhova); if C Storer really drew inspiration from this film then hopefully S3 was about depicting Carmy as a metaphorical "dead man walking" who will be reborn psychologically and emotionally in S4. However the differences in the run times of The Mirror as a standalone film and The Bear S3 and its nature as a serial meant the season felt exhausting to get through for me - let's hope the emotional reprieve for Carmy that never came in S3 sticks the landing in S4.

@thoughtfulchaos773 I really do agree with your assessment that this season was a love letter to film as an artform, you may be interested in watching this movie if you've never seen it.

Thick Wilson

Thick Wilson is from Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. His very first screen appearance was on a British TV show, The Rag Trade in 1963, going by the name he used most, Thick Wilson. He also has gone by his real name, Addison Bell. His last appearance was on a Lifetime movie made in Canada, Obituary in 2006. I don't know if he is still living, but if he is, he is 95 years old.

He only had 4 credits in the 1960s. His homebase was England.

In 1967, he appeared in The Dirty Dozen as General Wordan's (that's Ernest Borgnine's character) Aide.

In the 1970s he was able to have 9 screen appearances, still based out of England.

Here he appears in an episode of The Rivals of Sherlock Holmes in 1973. He did not talk in this one.

In 1975 he appears in From Hong Kong with Love, a UK, France and Hong Kong collaboration, which also featured Clifton James.

In 1976 Thick Wilson appears in the initial episode of Second Verdict, a British TV show that second guessed the accuracy of historical events.

Most of Thick Wilson's credits appeared in the 1980s & 1990s. He also did a lot of voice-over work in animated programs.

Here he is the Mayor in 1980s The Mirror Crack'd, his second major motion picture.

And The Great Muppet Caper in 1981.

The Adventures of Bob and Doug McKenzie: Strange Brew in 1983. This one out of Canada.

And another British movie in 1985, Morons from Outer Space.

And back to Canada in 1986 for Bullies.

The episode, Skeleton on The Ray Bradbury Theater in 1988, featuring Eugene Levy in this one.

Also the Canadian film Buying Time in 1988.

And the sci-fi horror film The Dark in 1993. It looks like he started going as Addison Bell for good in this year.

And Tommy Boy with Chris Farley and David Spade in 1995.

Also in 1995, National Lampoon's Senior Trip.

He did an episode of Goosebumps in 1996.

A Hallmark Hall of Fame movie in 1997, Rose Hill.

Showtime movie, Jasper, Texas in 2003.

And a comedy, Phil the Alien in 2004.

And finally Obituary in 2006.
