hi. tried to reblog and leave a bunch of tags but made a mistake and tumblr wouldn't let me edit the post SO i took a screenshot because I WILL NOT REWRITE ALL OF THAT BECAUSE IT WAS ALREADY TERRIBLE TO TRY AND GO BACK TO MY NOTES TO INCLUDE THEM INTO THE TAGS BECAUSE THE APP WOULD ERASE EVERYTHING so here you have a long ass pic with a ton of tags. love u u fucking mastermind 💋

I DID IN FACT GET THIS ASK FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU SENT ANOTHER ONE OTHER THAN THE DID YOU GET THAT ONE, then I am missing one, but I got this one!

I'm so glad you think it could standalone and make sense because I went into posting this like "so many people are not gonna be able to keep up with the tense changing and the time skipping, i'm being incoherent" thank you all for proving me wrong. My writing profs taught me to believe everyone does not have reading comprehension. Perhaps we should be giving more credit to readers, me thinks.

Man, I wish Carmen in The Bear canon aligned with CK not particularly because I wish he was better but because watching S3 I was like oh,,,, did I get all that wrong? Because to me, yeah does Carmen run away from things? 1 fucking million percent. At the same time, however, Carmen is an artist and I think like,,,, he's taught, yknow? He takes direction and critique, is always how I took him-- And so like, he just compartmentalizes criticism of his character the same way he would his craft; and he fucking likes making shit better, so he transfers it to life.

I considered massively pivoting from this choice for him to accept that he needs to be better, and instead like, Bojacks it, basically, but like, I'd already done this in CK canon:

Did I emulate my own previous scene to call back to the beginning of their relationship in chapter 13? Yeah 100% I did but back on topic--

I'd already decided that this was how Carmen went about things, and to be fair, I think honestly if everyone had just let each other finish sentences in S3EP01, that entire season I think would've gone an entirely different route, but c'est la vie, that's the tragic comedy of it all.

NOW ONTO MIKEY! I think some have said they prefer this Jimmy negotiation to canon-- And to be fair, though the sobriety aspect may not have been a part of it, Mikey did say he wanted to franchise with Carmen, and that's what the money was for. Or at least that's what Carmen affirms:

god fucking jesus christ he was so much more charming in S2 what the FUCK moving ON

But anyways, I think the 10k/week thing honestly is something Uncle would do, and I guess this is me staking my bet on it. I'd like to believe Mikey was climbing his way out-- Or maybe that's more tragic? I dunno. Regardless, I adore him, so, yknow. he's the guy!

50 PLUS YEARS FOR CARMEN? YOU THINK THIS GUY COULD LIVE TO 80? BABY LOOK UP POPCORN LUNG THIS MAN WAS GETTING ULCERS AT 21 WE'RE LUCKY IF WE GET TO 60

regardless, thank you for enjoying i'm so glad that my interpretation of Mikey was enjoyed. I tried to be as like,,, accurate as possible to what I feel he'd act like out of the small scenes we've seen of him, but I also absolutely had to pull from my own oldest brother. so. i don't have issues idk what all of you are talking about.

also, I will put this in a master post of like, bits I was doing, later, because there's a fucking lot, but this is the last post I'm making before bed and I wanna get yelled at about this in my inbox in the morning nothing makes me happier:

Chapter 1! Tony Terry Tommy!

Chapter 13! Two Steps Back.

I know I'm a bitch, aren't I? I'm sure rereaders noticed this but I wanted the whole class to know.

While I'm at it, Chapter 12! Hit em with it!

YEAH BABY SHE'D BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT THE WHOOOOLLLEEE TIMMEEEEE YEEEEAAAHHHHHHHH I'm fucked up for this one. I had the Cold thing planned since chapter 1 I'm so SICK with it. Yell at me in my inbox I do love to make everyone mad ngl call me Carmen cause I'm a fucking shit starter baby

thank you for your thoughts and thank you for giving me a place to yap for WAY too fucking long GOOD NIGHT OR GOOD MORNING PENDING WHERE YOU ARE!!

what the actual fuck is up with those two asks honestly 😀 like please let people post stories that move them!! even if just because they're looking for that nostalgic feeling!! people are so annoying. anyways, i've been looking for new fics for forever, so i'll be giving yours a read, hehe. used to be a sucker for sister of a band member aus, so this should be good

Thank you for your words ❤️ but, at the same time, they’re not wrong. They were rude, yes, but the point they made about aus is still true. As I’ve seen, many of the stories here now are contemporary one shots that focus on smut (which we love, please they’re are so freaking by good) but layered stories, with chapters, that utilizes smart as a way to progress the growth or plot… those are not here anymore. Or at least they will not get that much attention.

It’s the tiktokfication of tumblr 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’ve realized that a long time ago, but they didn’t have to say it like that.

I really hope you like the new story ❤️ I appreciate you reaching out

pls answer to this so i know you received the previous ask otherwise i will HAVE to throw myself over a cliff. that's it.

actually i'd just resend it bc i care about chicagos kindest too much to leave this world without reading it completely and then rereading it and then printing it into a little book i can kiss every morning cause it's what it deserves

i know I did in fact already answer the other ask but I saved this ask from the garbage can grave because it DID remind me about that tiktok of those nerds (loving) bookbinding their favourite fanfictions and now i'm thinking should i do that.

when I eventually do a final grammar pass run and post all this to AO3 when the series is done? maybe. I'm not gonna lie, if this story goes how I want it to, I might like, genuinely kinda prefer it to canon.

I'm warming up to season 3 though. I do think it was dead on purpose-- I think the way they went about it wasn't great still, but I-- I'm getting there okay, we're getting there.

[carmenized-onions]

hello, how u doin!!! I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THE BEAR S3 SO LIKE SPOILERS AHEAD???? i'm on 3x2 and like,,, the vibes??? are sooooo similar to what i think they'd be like after last chapter of chigago kindest??? are u the writer or something like frfr and the scene on the first ep where carmy calls rich??? like this could be in the story but like carmy to tony and it would make 100% sense. ALSO, i want to hit canon carmy as bad as chippy's carmy. that's it. love ya. take care.

I'VE FINISHED ICE CHIPS, so I've got two episodes left, gonna save those for tommorow. But boy oh boy. Boy. Oh Boy.

I will say, the funniest thing I think I could possibly read is 'similar vibes to chicago's kindest' as if it's not THE BEAR AND I'M COPYING THEM LMAOO. That did make me very happy, though. I think I emulated it pretty well over text-- Though there were some bits from the first and second episode where I was like sonofabitch i shoulda thought of that

But I did my best. I cooked decent, I think-- And also I did do myself a really huge fucking favour of essentially creating a time loop where everything that happens in season 3 does technically align with Chicago's Kindest (par for Nat, yknow), because I pushed the Freezer fight so far back.

Phone call was absolutely a thing I did debate, instead of what I went with in chap 12, but Tony has a habit of answering the phone, and if she answered the phone, and he had to do it not via voicemail, he'd explode-- So I think he considered it, but did not follow through. Plus, we still haven't heard much about how this week has gone without Tony, so, we've got no idea what theFUCK this guy has been up to.

Anyways, I am going to do what I want regardless, but i do want to ask, for sake of my own berometer:

not all, just the bits that I feel like need to be covered in order for me to feel like,,,, good about it.

Also If i'm Being So Fr. Writing uhhh Chapter 13? And watching S3 has made me realize 100% we're not gonna be able to button this up by 15. Maybe we'll be done by like,,, 20? 18? 19? We've got a little bit to go. I hope you're all okay with that. I have trapped you all here now. sunken cost effect.

before i even start to read the new chapter, just wanted to say that i love the little phrases you put in the masterlist next to the number of the upcoming chapter. they're lovely and make me think of you dressed as like idk manny the handyman or bob the builder fhkdkskdjhd

AND i wanted to say that i don't think it would be (or have been lol) out of character for mikey and tony to have slept together??? imo, it could've been a quick and fun hook-up, like just drunk friends?? i mean, girl, i'm trynna work with the crumbles you've given us so far. i think anything is possible 💀

that's it, see ya when i finish this chap!!! 🩷

Let's start with: I always love reading your tags, I don't know if I've actually said that anywhere-- But if I haven't, they're always a delight to read. I also love the amount of people including you after this last chapter that went:

Really warmed my heart, honestly, to see everyone go from cutey patootie carmy so stressed!! to MAKE HIM FUCKING REGRET HE WAS BORN!!!!!! Love to see the cavalry for Tony. Truly. Are we just doing Chippy now, while those two are on the rocks? Perhaps we should.

anyways the actual shit you said here in this ask.

I used to do the whole 'check in later!' all cute, and then I decided I would switch it up to just bein bob the builder. Please imagine me in a jumpsuit, though. Like a cool one. Like I look really cool, about it.

MORE IMPORTANTLY AND THE THING I HONESTLY WANTED TO LEAD WITH THIS WAS S O BRAVE TO SAY

Everyone has been coming up to the front of class saying "Hey I don't think these two were anything more than friends, perhaps twin flame esque important bond but nothing got bust down sexual style"

and YOU stood up in the middle and went "ACTUALLY I THINK THEY FUCKED. ACTUALLY TEACH I THINK THERE WAS A CARNAL MOMENT ACTUALLY." And I fucking love you for that. That was like me back in highschool English class arguing that Mercutio and Romeo HAVE fucked actually.

Every day I go but like what if Chip and Mikey did like do a smooch. like would that be concievable? Everyday I wish the answer is different from what it is. WHAT IS IT YOU ASK??? Eh, I'll probably tell. Eventually.
