The unanimous vote that he's an Eater will always be my favorite thing

My favorite thing about sydcarmy fic writers on AO3 is the way everyone has collectively decided that Carmy is a CHAMPION eater. He does it often and he’s apparently very good at it.

Seriously like every fic I’ve read, has him practically begging Sydney to let him go down on her lmaooooo.

Sydcarmy things that I need part 1:Carmy’s nasty fingers

One day they are eating lunch together, brainstorming ideas for the menu, they are not together yet.

Sydney has some sauce in her cheek, Carmy extends his hand towards her…

“You have some…”

Instead of using a napkin, he collects the sauce with his finger and does this

Carmy: you are right, is delicious

Which obviously makes Sydney’s brain stop working entirely

It’s funny because previous campaigns felt Jeremy, but this particular shot feels soooo Carmy. Even the ones that are not in the kitchen go into that “artist” angle and is so fitting.

The pictures so far from the winter 2024 Calvin Klein campaign

I'm so glad this meta was well received. I was kinda scared writing it. I'm very thankful to everyone.

No, it's not the secret. I want to get over writing some more fun meta before I dive into that one.

I'm currently nursing my very sick and practically bedridden dad, so taking time to write anything has not been easy but I'll get through it and get more stuff out.

I've loved all the reactions. Thank you guys.

Delulu Opinion:

Carmy messed up the lacto ferment/marinade.

Alright bearitos, this one's controversial.

I think Carmy may have messed up the lacto ferment and marinade. In fact, I think he may have sabotaged it.

Remember how Carmy already had an asking-out fail in the locker room scene?

After that he goes home stares weirdly at his chef's coat, then comes up with a plan to get Syd in the apartment to spend time with her jam on the menu and somehow the chef's whites, which had been somewhere else, by the way, just so happens to be sitting pretty on the kitchen counter for Syd to approve see.

We all know he staged that, right? RIGHT??

There are certain things I feel don't come naturally to Carmy. He can quickly come up with a plan to fulfill an overload of orders on a bad day in a kitchen, but a sneak date on the fly? He couldn't manage imho. So it had to be something he had thought about beforehand.

"It's not ok if it's two times in a row"

The first day, when the lacto ferment was ruined he instinctively apologizes with the sorry sign saying "I must have given you the wrong count". The next day with the marinade "you marinated it too long, it's ok though" before asking them to go out for "inspiration". I feel like the fact that he had that idea ready meant that it was something he had considered and possibly planned. He even had the exact restaurant on the tip of his lips. Also look at their faces while the try the radicchio, it looks like Carmy already expected it to be bad. That's probably why he made sure to tell Sydney "this was almost perfect", because it wasn't really her fault?

Could it be that he might have thought of it but the opportunity presented itself naturally? Yes. But it's also very highly likely that he engineered that outcome as he already had done to get Syd in his apartment (bear in mind that in Sundae, Sydney found a kitchen to use on short notice and Carmy, a bigger chef with more clout and a better network, could have done the same).

This is why I think it was so hard for him to tell Claire he had plans. He could have easily said he had a work thing but he couldn't say it cause it wasn't really about work for him. He was literally scanning his to do list to look for another reasonable excuse. Because in his head it was a date but in actual reality, it was just work. Carmy is bad at being honest but he's also terrible at lying so he'll deflect or tell you some version of truth that's not the actual truth; eg his answers to Claire about the fake number, not answering about his plans just stuttering then saying "I'm in" to her plans.

I think Claire's call slapped reality onto him and scared the ever living sh!t out of him. So he went from making all these plans with Syd to avoiding her for most of the rest of the season.

… they don’t get how powerful these two in a Bonnie and Clyde action/romance would be.

If there is no romantic sydcarmy I at least need her to kill him

So much mirroring!

And the mirroring of 1x06 when Syd rebels and gives a customer her risotto with cola-braised short rib and 3x01 when Carmy rebels and gives his paupiette of hamachi with blood orange.

Another way I wonder if there will be mirroring. In 2x10, they explicitly say Syd's dad drinks coke. I wonder if they’ll reveal that he had an alcohol problem mirroring Carmy's mom.

So many parallels in their tattoos! Her wishbone and his wishbone story. The knife (his through a hand and hers through a heart). His fish and her anchovies! It’s too much 😭!

Sydney x Carmy - Mirroring

A non-exhaustive journey of some serious soulmatism through gifs. Its not just what they're doing but the shots themselves. These are all intentional writing, editing and directing choices because these two and their connection are absolutely intentional.

Shoutout to @livelovecaliforniadreams, @thoughtfulchaos773, @gingergofastboatsmojito, @brokenwinebox, @currymanganese and anyone else I've missed who have done similar posts on the mirroring in this show before.

It's "I'm sorry" in sign. Two of my old chefs used to do it. If they were angry, fighting on the line, it helped. It was like their version of "let's talk about this later". Didn't matter if one tore the other one apart, it always got them through service.
