The show is definitely still exploring how parental figures influence our choice of partners. If that's the case, the writing shows not only Claire being similar to Donna but also Syd and Carmy being drawn to each other because they are the opposite of each other's parents.

Sydney is different from Donna. Carmy is not like Emmuel.

Even though it's a good thing Sydney is nothing like Donna- it's the opposite for Emmanuel and carmy. Carmy has to be like Emmanuel to win Sydney over. Because some legacies must be followed and grown on the family tree, Sydney and carmy know this- which is why carmy still struggles to be that rock for Sydney and just as reliable. Reliance is the character's main obstacle. Healthy masculinity - Carmy is learning to be a solid and stable man but can struggle.

It's explained early on why Carmy struggles to embody a healthy masculine figure. Carmy has a deadbeat father, an inconsistent brother, and an uncle who now regrets not being there more. However, as the season progresses, characters like Pete, Steve, and Emmanuel are introduced. They are men who can express their emotions healthily and don't feel the need to exhibit bravado to prove their masculinity. The three men also express their love openly, something carmy never learned to do.

So they establish early on that Carmy did not have a solid male figure in his life, and they point out early on that Sydney has a steady male figure in her life.

So Sydney is attracted to a man who doesn't have the same traits as Emmanuel, but she sees something in him that makes her want to try.

Just like Carmy wants to try, he's always asking for Emmanuel because he wants to be like that kind of man.

Because he's someone who sydney relies on:

And for Sydney to mention this in 3x05 Children that it's scary to rely on a person, I don't think she's just talking about her dad.

On the first watch, I thought of Carmy and 2x02 Pasta. when he mentioned relying on her dad.

I might be biased as a Sydcamy shipper, but it's clear that Carmy wants to express his love for Sydney by letting her rely on him. However, he's not equipped to be that guy for Sydney.

We see a glimpse of the reliable Carmy under the table, who could be there for Sydney when he was completely present and serene. He promised Sydney that he'd be the man she could rely on- looking back now, I can see how significant that was- enough for them to take a long moment of silence and hold a long gaze.

If anyone else can see what I'm seeing, why is it platonic when they continue to make this opposite attraction? Is this one of the reasons for these vibrant collaborations? Do they show signs of who Emmanuel is and who Carmys will be? That he promised Sydney he'd be?

it is wild that the top post in #gay is a closeup shot of a hairy butt not marked sensitive but if a trans woman even says that shes a trans woman the post immediately gets blasted into the void by staff.

i'm begging you guys to start pirating shit from streaming platforms. there are so many websites where you can stream that shit for free, here's a quick HOW TO:

1) Search for: watch TITLE OF WORK free online

2) Scroll to the bottom of results. Click any of the "Complaint" links

3) You will be taken to a long list of links that were removed for copyright infringement. Use the 'find' function to search for the name of the show/movie you were originally searching for. You will get something like this (specifics removed because if you love an illegal streaming site you don't post its url on social media)

4) each of these links is to a website where you can stream shit for free. go to the individual websites and search for your show/movie. you might have to copy-paste a few before you find exactly what you're looking, but the whole process only takes a minute. the speed/quality is usually the same as on netflix/whatever, and they even have subtitles! (make sure to use an adblocker though, these sites are funded by annoying popups)

In conclusion, if you do this often enough you will start recognizing the most dependable websites, and you can just bookmark those instead. (note: this is completely separate from torrenting, which is also a beautiful thing but requires different software and a vpn)

you can also download the media in question (look for a "download" button built into the video window, or use a browser extension such as Video DownloadHelper.)
