#convo : sydney

I think Carmy and I shucked probably ten million of these peas...day in, day out like robots.

THE BEAR | 3.10: FOREVER

crazy to think how the s1e3:brigade crate conversation laid the structure and solution for sydcarmys relationship.

And then, you know, you kinda left. Like, you... Y-y-you did. Not even "kinda." You just straight-up left - this is what happened in season 2.

But you just didn't really listen, and... - this is happening in season 3

if this is going to work the way that I think we both want it to work, I-I mean, I think we should probably... try to listen to each other.

carmy has a whole lot of shit he needs to work through and improvement is non-linear. But for sydney and carmy's relationship, from the start she provides the solution to all their problems in this one scene. this conversation has been ever present in their relationship, they're still working through it.

My Sydcarmy truther origin story

GIF by @volvaaslaug

Braciole's "Family style. Two tops, booths. Danish design. Tasting menu at the bar. Window on the side. For sandwiches. Yeah," and the silent dialogue they had right before that and all along, as they were delivering those lines.

Only a guy in love says "I'm sorry" like that.

And only a woman who loves him too comes back after the Reviewgate and says "I forgive you" like that.

I had no idea I was watching a love story before that moment.

I shared this in the Sydcarmy Community already, which you can join here if you want, but I also thought about sharing it here on my blog.

Shoutout to @tvgremlin for prompting this to begin with.

sydney and carmy have such a deranged dynamic so it's very funny when people try to put them in a "professional coworkers" box like bffr nothing about their relationship is professional

[notyourdaisybuchanan]

these happen within ten minutes of each other

[currymanganese]

Syd: "So she's not even your girlfriend-

Carmy with his whole chest: "Right!"

Syd: "-and we're, like, aRranGiNG this menu-"

Carmy defensive af: "SHE'S NOT ARRANGING ANYTHING, AND SHE'S NOT LOOKING AT THE MENU-"

Syd: "YES, SHE IS!"

Carmy: "LOOK, THIS IS WHAT YOU WANTED ORIGINALLY AND THAT'S WHAT I'M GIVING YOU, SO, AWESOME!"

Syd: *EXASPERATED UNINTELLIGIBLE CROSS-TALK*-"NO! NOT AWESOME!"

i was talking with a friend about how we both really think dol could use more violence and like...the ideas we came up with...i wish i knew how to mod LOL but i REALLY think this could be implemented and work within the story

i think having the option for the PC to kill unnamed NPCs if they're close enough to a breaking point after going through so much would fit so good in the game. maybe just one or two in specific scenarios so it's not like you're a serial killer but it would add flavor to the PC.

like if you meet certain requirements during a noncon encounter with a random unnamed NPC you can get you the chance to kill them, maybe kyler gives you a knife for self defense and protection at some point, or you just find a brick on the ground or a pipe. but i feel it fits more for spur of the moment so those last two work better

and OBVIOUSLY afterwards you get like, + + + + trauma and stress

maybe different stats give a different reaction, high sadism makes it so it's less trauma and stress? if it's repeatable maybe it stops giving trauma or stress? but I feel having it repeat would get boring and lose the impact.

but I think different outcomes would work!

There's a realization with + + + + trauma and + + + stress for one outcome

a different one with the text "you finally feel safe." With just + + trauma and - stress

Maybe if you've had max/near max trauma and stress for a while you just get text that's something like "you knew something like this would happen." And that could either raise or lower trauma/stress I feel.

also! killing someone would DEFINITELY amp up the horror aspects of dol, with ivory wraith already giving you hallucinations in the library where the students that usually talk about whatever get ivory's glowing text and call you graverobber and thief, you could get them calling you murderer and that could lead into a scene where sydney asks if you're alright, because you look sick you could have nightmares of it, waking up with + stress and/or + trauma. or if you wake up screaming you could get + love + robin's confidence if they run in to check on you. or bailey running in to check on you and offering you their..own kind of comfort. which i will talk more about next! you could get scenes for some LIs/Named NPCs where they try to comfort you if you confide in them, and depending on your stats with them if they believe you and worry for you, or if they think you're just some murderer.

characters I think would work for telling you killed someone (in self defense) robin: prompted to tell them if they run in to your room after you scream due to the nightmare, i think depending on how high/low their confidence is they could be scared of you but still love you, or hold you and tell you that they'll protect you

eden: i think they would be proud of you for defending yourself, but still get mad because you could have gotten hurt or caught by someone (also theyd think it was hot. sorry.)

black wolf (wolfperson): similar to eden, i don't think they'd really get how much of a big deal it would be for you to have killed someone, but they're also proud that you're strong enough to protect yourself

kylar: they'd tell you they could have done it for you, you didn't need to dirty your hands with this, but it's ok. they'll help you. don't worry. (if kylar is stalking you when the encounter happens they could help you hide the body after, otherwise you get a + + crime, but with kylar with you no + crime happens, though you end up passing missing person posters with the person you killed and get + + stress) (also would think you were hot for it)

bailey: they're mean, rude, and sell you off if you're short money, but they do care about you, they always come running in the orphanage when you yell, if you have a nightmare they can come running in, seeing that no one is in your room they can tell you to shut up, but they see your face and this obviously isn't like other times you've had nightmares. your face is different. they reluctantly sit on the edge of your bed (or just reluctantly ask you what's wrong) and you get the chance to tell them what you did, and how it's haunting you and all you can think about. obviously bailey is in some deep shit with what they do, they've absolutely dealt with murder before. they know how it can affect someone. and now two different things could happen. they sigh and walk over to you (getting up from the bed if they sat down) give you an awkward half hug, or they could sigh and tell you that they'll give you an extra day or two to get some money for rent, but just this once.

whitney: when they're in a relationship with you, i really feel they could border on kyler if they were a little more unhinged, with how protective they can get of you (punching someone in the stomach and beating them up and stealing from the person that either has sex with you or just SAYS they'd have sex with you on halloween) but i don't think they've ever done something as serious as kill a person, so they'd think you were bullshitting for a minute, until they see how serious you are, they'd get worried about if someone saw you, if you'd get caught, call you a dumbass while hugging you (sorry im weak to sweet whitney)

pure sydney: they get scared but try to reassure that they're sure it'll be ok, it was for your protection. They'll pray for you. - - love corrupt sydney: still taken aback but doesn't lose any love, says something about how if protecting yourself gets you sent to hell they'll go down with you

AND! i think the PC should be allowed to choke out NPCs during noncon encounters, if they manage to gain control of the situation.

depending on if this is before or after you killed someone the text could change

If you haven't killed anyone, you naturally stop once they pass out. but if you have you keep going until it's a force stop and you get + + trauma + + stress

[pcwells]

who do i have to get in contact with to get me moved outta here? smells like desperation in here. @sydbswccncy

[noangeleither]

every time i watch the table scene, i can’t get over how carmy tears up and his voice shakes at the end before he gets up to get syds gift.

like he was so overcome with emotion over his words/admission and how much he cares for this person he physically had to look away and collect himself.

i don’t know how they will top this next season. but they will and that’s the scary part

[chcoticmuses]

can we be more exclusive? - Sydney/Liam

''more exclusive? where is this.. where is this coming from?'' it wasn't his best approach, but it was the only one he could come up with for the moment. ''we.. we're as exclusive as i can think of?''

@dcydrecmings

[blazeofmuses]

@dcydrecmings

''Apologies for slippin' off the grid 'ese past few days.'' There were still some loose ends of his father's he needed to finally put to rest and now that the book had been shut on that? He was ready to focus properly on the present & now. ''Had to check on a few things that needed my attention.'' A pause, taking the moment to look her over as a small quirk of his lips appear over his features. ''I.. I uh-- I missed.. I missed you a bit. Was a bit.. weird going alone, kinda used to traveling overseas with you.''

[what-yadoking-likes]

Sydney: hey, Wolf! If you had to fuck any straight guy in here, who would it be and why would it be Wick?

[averlym]

Sydney did a livestream last night and says two very silly Parrlyn things "Everyone else is so good at makeup, Zan shows up every day looking like a super model" and "I believe Cathy is queer coded so when I mention Thomas I'm like 'mm okay girl' "

TOT omg this is what i get for not following the casts i guess. thank you for the update, anon! especially the quotes :OOOO

Julian [text]: Syd call me.

[eilishbillies]

So, I heard you went to the Met Gala and with your look people thought you were me. Can I just tell you that, that gives me life? Thanks for confusing but also looking amazing. You could pull off black so well. How'd you feel on the carpet this year? If I go next year should we twin and really confuse them? [ @sweetsydfame ]
