day 61

lookie who’s back :D

[gingergofastboatsmojito]

He´s doing exactly what Syd told him to do, as usual

It´s all in the symbolic subtext side notes.

He´s retiring to get more of this:

And when he´s THAT Carmy, he will say what he really meant to say here:

This Carmy that she won´t even indulge with a sorry sign, is the one he´s retiring because she told him to be "less miserable first", happy first.

The only 2 huge holes in his argument are lack of transparency bc he unilaterally made that decision, and that he thinks he will be happy away from her somehow, forget cooking, Syd is the key to his happiness, any chance of surviving, and his real peace that feels like chaos because

"It´s fucking hard and that´s what makes it special, right? It´s fucking hard, and it´s gnarly and it´s brutal and it´s specific and not everybody can do it."

But:

He can do it.

Side note: when Carmy is telling the truth or saying something we should BELIEVE, the camera focuses on his eyes, close up, frontal, light. That´s Storer telling us "THIS!!!". Let´s call those, for the sake of this meta, "Moments of truth".

More examples of these MOT are:

Not only Syd, but Marcus as well, brings out that MOT Carmy in him:

Another side note: So canonically/symbolically since the 04x02 "apology" happened, every time Carmy refers to FIRE 🔥🔥🔥 from now on, we´re supposed to understand his relationship with C and all the anxiety-driven fire he felt and "loved" during it and how he also called her his "peace" at some point before, because that fire was what he thought was his ticket out of the hell he was in. But as usual, he got that wrong, because what it means is that his REAL PEACE is what he will find AFTER HE PUTS OUT THE FIRE, in the smoke (which is a culinary technique that since 02x02 we should know Syd prefers and he likes too) not in the fire itself, but we´re gonna forgive him bc he´s a himbo. The fire is part of the problem; what comes after PUTTING IT OUT is what real peace is for him.

So, it has been established throughout the series that Carmy is an asshole, or POS, as Sydney calls him, for going about it like this, but he loves the restaurant Syd because:

Their restaurant, anyway...

Bonus track: JAW´s iconic characterization of Carmy gave his character tics. This one in particular is meant to show Carmy´s anxiety, which usually shows up when he´s nervous,

OR about to do something he knows is wrong or not what he REALLY REALLY wants to do because he´s in denial, in other words: sublimating/transferring because his mind can play those tricks on him, but his body language and tics are not fully influenced by his denial mechanisms, only partially:

This also sometimes is seen as him rubbing his lips or chin, but that´s more like covering an impulse than a truth, like sublimating arousal not just not telling the truth, and I´m not referring to that right now, but I am referring to his body language being always very telling, even when he´s not being totally transparent. He´s not a great liar when he talks it out, but he´s awesome at lying by omission, by keeping secrets.

He also rubs his nose when he´s downright lying:

So, my theory is that this whole retirement tantrum he threw to keep Syd at the restaurant and away from poachers, as I mentioned in the UTT Community is just that and what he said in the back alley is not gonna happen or last, meaning this is his Braciole era. And we all know how Braciole ends:

So, we´re fine whether he leaves or not, chefs.

perhaps controversial opinion and maybe doubly controversial because I'm even acknowleding the possibility of a musical sequel to Wicked occurring (thought admittedly I think this isn't much of a possibility) but if such a thing did occur, I'm sorry I could couldn't care less about Liir being in it. I suppose for it to be a Wicked adaptation it would make sense for him to be there but it would take SOME EXPLAINING on how that happened for him to exist in the musical universe but I just don't personally care about Liir all that much and I would much rather see something with Ozma and Dorothy in this version of Oz than Liir or even Ozma and Liir.

maybe its just me craving an adaptation with Ozma and Dorothy both properly in it and interacting, but Liir is like the last person I'm interested in getting in a sequel.
