Season 3: Eros & Vibrant Collaboration

I previously mentioned vibrant collaboration, but now I have a better understanding after watching the trailer. I am interested in delving deeper into the book.

I'm assuming from the trailer that we see Carmy preparing a menu early in the morning and emphasizing certain things or non-negotiables. The entire morning seems to be dedicated to proposing a partnership agreement. This seems to be a presentation of vibrant collaboration between Sydney and the act of co-creating.

Since the show makes book references like last season's, with Richie reading about hospitality, this "Vibrant Collaboration" could be another book reference that connects to the workplace. Vibrant collaboration, on Carmy's list, may come from this book that talks about workplace honesty and intimacy for the highest creativity. It also speaks on eroticism and attraction in workplace dynamics.

This is an expert from the summary:

Vibrant Collaboration speaks a lot about how eros is the main drive that can create vibrancy in the workplace- the kind Carmy is looking for- but the problem that reoccuring in the show is that Carmy can only make creativity happen alone, at work, and there's lack of passion in his personal life.

What is eros?

One of Eros principles is co-creation:

Co-creation: The Bee and the Flower Are Equally Benefiting

"We recognize the mutuality of existence as connected beings and do the work to develop the capacity to both transmit and receive energy; co-creation is a reciprocal process where everyone benefits." -link

Eros is also, according to Greek Religion birthed from Chaos something Carmy despises but is attracted to in some ways and often the cause of it.

What if he really dives deep into chaos this season? What will come of it?

I think Carmy will learn to play with others and create, not by himself, but by co-creating with Sydney. This has been a part of the slow burn between Sydney and Carmy. Each season, they get closer to the perfect dish - their creation, and something or someone known as Carmy Berzatto - pulls back, or it doesn't quite fit yet.

The question is: what is preventing Carmy from co-creation? He is usually working alone, creating a chaos menu and following a successful career path. His motivation this season doesn't come from a desire to compete or a fuck you to Mikey. Instead, his drive to bring order out of chaos and to create beauty and love is inspired by someone specific – Sydney. She is the driving force behind Carmy's exploration of his deepest emotions and the chaos. When he focuses his full attention on her, something more profound emerges from the chaos menu. It's the kind of passion that Carmy typically reserves for his career but is now directed towards her.

This season could bring even more tension, mixed emotions, and chaos! But we'll also experience the honest and intimate moments that the book talks about—eros will hopefully be loud this season with Sydney and Carmy.

Because Carmy is choosing (though he pretends begrudgingly, like a husband who follows his wife) to explore the chaos and birth eros. such an act will birth Carmy and Sydney's deepest desire: each other.

oh. I think my fears about Chiefcake passing from old age were more on point than I realized. she's acting very weak right now.

and it's late on a friday, when all the rabbit-specific vets have closed. I'll call around anyway to see if at home euthanasia is an option tonight.

Biblically accurate Blurr~

Blurr's Spotlight was actually the very first Transformers comic I ever read. I remember looking at the first pages and being like, holy shit, dude why are you so ugly?? Ahahjcmgmg

[virtualplushy]

oh btw just in case nobody ever told you. just because your life looks different than you thought it would doesn't mean that your life is bad or wrong or disappointing or less than. sometimes things aren't good or bad. sometimes they're just different

[hinamie]

i'm exactly as normal about him as I thought I'd be

[libraryofgage]

Been having Secretly Smart Steve thoughts except it's less that his intellect is a secret and more that nobody ever noticed lmao

The initial thought for this is based on my mom's stories about acting like a ditzy airhead in high school but then graduating with honors

Within five minutes of walking into high school Steve definitely clocked that being cool was more important than being smart right? So he didn't really let on that he was good at class stuff and just let people think he was a simple jock

And Steve graduating isn't a huge thing cuz it happens during UD stuff which means they all miss graduation ceremony and just get their degrees later, so it's not like anyone saw the honors tassels that steve was given to wear with his grad gown

And the first real hint is Lucas trying to make a basket and getting frustrated. And Steve is like "here I'll show you" and proceeds to make every throw he makes from anywhere on the court and when Lucas asks how the fuck he does that Steve shrugs and is like "well, i mean, its all angles man"

Later Mike and Will are working on an egg drop project (you know the ones) and getting worked up cuz the eggs keep cracking. Steve has been watching TV or something the whole time and outta nowhere is like "yall are missing shock absorption and proper wind resistance, duh"

Nancy is trying to decode some number based cipher for fun but it's becoming rapidly Not Fun and Steve looks over her shoulder for like two seconds and goes "group the numbers into twos, subtract 18 from each, and then it's the alphabet letter based on the number" and then just walks off

Dustin is taking an engineering class and is having trouble building a bridge cuz it keeps collapsing when he sends a hot wheels car over it. Steve tells him he needs more load-bearing beams and to distribute the weight evenly and Dustin is surprised when it works

And, of course, Eddie sees all of this so one day when Max or Erica ask for help with some geometry homework he takes the worksheet they give him and immediately passes it along to Steve, waves off their disbelief, and sits all smug while Steve explains concepts they'd been missing entirely

rewatch the show yall. it gets even better if you do.

So I finished orv

steph and babs don’t need personas, as far as anyone is concerned they’re just family friends.

bruce has his “brucie wayne” persona, very clumsy, playboy, kinda air headed but still very smart and wants to do good for gotham. which of course makes him seem naive cause good?? for gotham??

dick has “richie grayson-wayne” who’s dabbled in modeling before becoming a gymnastics teacher. also very vocal about his “adorable little siblings”

jason never really had a “nickname” after all he was from crime alley and he had to look GOOD for them or else they’d go back to “he’s just like the rest of them”. his persona was very empathetic and kind though, which worked great for him since that’s how he was like. he always talked about doing several non profit charities. the elites switched their opinions of him on a dime, although the rest of gotham adored him.

damian refuses to go by a nickname. his persona is based around animals, mostly about abandoned animals. it’s very clear his goal for the future is to make good animal shelters and help every animal he can. it’s the only persona he could stomach and there were SEVERAL other ideas

cass is “cass wayne” very quiet, polite, generally just there in the background. normally hanging around one of her siblings, most often tim. although her being around him unnerves some of them, she’ll get a look in her face and then her and tim both know they were lying. they fully get why she hangs around tim

duke is regularly seen as the normal one. pleasant to be around, kind, but generally also just there. very normal student, not really sure what he’s gonna do. the elites don’t particularly for him, though the rest of gotham love him.

tim’s persona differs from the rest pretty heavily. he can’t get away with being like bruce, the elites vividly remember janet and see her in him very often, which vaguely scares them if they’ll be honest. he’ll act like “Tim Drake-Wayne” to unsettle them, after all he’s a Drake why is he acting clumsy? they’ve seen him when he was younger and he was the spitting image of perfect. it makes more sense to them when he trips and lands right where he can tell them something no one else can hear. “Timothy Drake” is what scares them though. the tim that casually whispers secrets no one else knows, who points out someone they’re supposed to have a “private meeting with” in a week. who has nearly cause several of them to go broke with such simple actions, and the only reason they didn’t was cause he let them stay rich. there was one elite who insulted damian near tim and suddenly said elite had to get an apartment in crime alley, pay his now ex-wife, a kid he had with some random person, and several debts

the fact that lex luther and tim are some kind of friends also doesn’t make them feel super great but that’s another issue
