Always connecting Tiffany and Claire

Every time, Claire is brought into the picture - they connect Tiffany.

Richie and Carmy are foils to each other. As we watch Richie overcome his past and try to find purpose, we're watching Carmy go through the same thing. So, as Tiffany is to Richie, Claire is to Carmy.

Carmy and Richie give the audience the summary of their journeys. Richie is going to find purpose after Mikey's death. While Carmy is going to find enjoyment.

But they have to overcome the past to get to their end goals.

It starts with 2x01 when Carmy is looking at the photos that Richie has spread out. There's Tiffany and Claire in the photos.

in 2x03, When Richie tells his daughter he needs a break from the past. Carmy is, in the next scene, connecting with Claire.

In 2x05 Richie reunites with Claire and instantly asks about Tiffany.

And the very next episode Richie telling Tiffany about Claire and carmy

Of course, there's more in season 3. Richie and Carmy have flashbacks of them. While Carmy avoids Claire, Richie avoids Tiffany.

Until 3x09, Carmy was still stuck calling and ending things with Claire, while Richie was on the steps of officially ending it with Tiffany by accepting the invitation to the wedding.

In season 4, that leaked argument will happen after Tiffany's wedding—because that will be Richie's end of the cycle, and it will be a test for Carmy to end his past with Claire.

Jessie and Sydney, meanwhile, show signs of being part of Richie and Carmy's future.

Jessie shows Richie that she has a purpose in what she does at Ever, and Sydney shows Carmy that their passion can also be enjoyable.

Jessi and Sydney also have similar reasons to staying inspired:

Lastly- I love Carmy and Richie watching Sydney and Jessie Work:

Claire's End

Just a thought. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I have a feeling the Claire saga might end with Claire freaking out to Carmy about Carmy not doing what she wants. And there will be an audience. And that way Richie, Tiff, the Faks will see she's another Donna. Carmy's arch will be him making his own decision(s) for once. And it won't be her. She'll be pissy. Donna pissy. I'm not sure if this means he'll chose Syd. But I'm crossing my fingers.

Also, Jess and Syd parallel each other in the sense that they are each positive influences that are outside the Berzattos, the Beef, and the Bear. Looking towards the future. Not the past.

So, Richie and Carmy, regardless if it is romantic, do have positive people that care about them a whole lot.

And this little drawing of Jake and my MC will be the first drawing on this blog.

The screenshots for this situation below:

[jake-s-azaleea]

MC: Oh shoot. MWAF is angry.

Jessy: How can you tell?

Jake: I am no person reader but I think you can read him by his hands. Like right now, he's holding a gun. I don't think that means he's happy to see us.

[incorrectnessduskwood]

Richy: I may be stupid.

Jessy: ...

Richy: Oh, did you think I was going to finish that sentence?

[mwonie]

No one.

Literally Dan:

Richie and Ruth have most definately gone as Jessie and James for Halloween.

[giu-world]

Jessy: Everybody has their obsessions. I'm fascinated with books, ancient legends and trouble, Cleo loves kitchen and cooking, Richy loves set on fire things like mines and Jake loves MC.

Thomas: But does he love MC as much as Cleo loves cooking?

Jessy: I found that Jake watches MC while she sleeps.

Jake:

MC:

Jake: We have agreed to never mention this again.

I don't know why I never realised this the very first time I played duskwood Richy was the only one that knew the others had gone to that cabin. Why didn't I see it then or maybe I guess I didn't really want to because the thought of him being behind it still hurts.

Richy, Richy, Richy... bad bad boy.

Richie and Carmy mourn Ever in 3x05 Children. Richie and Carmy alao receive words of wisdom from Sydney and Jessie.

The only few episodes that don't mention Claire or Tiffany.

The Bear - Vibes

Going along with the theme of vibes that they continue to mention in the show, I wanted to talk about the vibes the audience receives. Specifically, about relationships.

It's such an amazing show that everyone interprets certain relationships differently. This proves how well it was written, but also the audience's willingness to view it "as is", or read further into what is presented to the viewer. That can be displayed by tone, visuals, music, etc.

It does have to be recognized that things aren't always as they seem when dealing with The Bear. This includes relationships and the set up of them. Or the obvious vs inconspicuous.

It's interesting how, with a few looks, a couple conversations, the audience as a whole agreed that there is "something" with Chef Jess and Richie. S2 Forks

This also happens with Sydney and Luca. S3 Forever

Ted and Kelly (Claire's bestie) S2 The Bear

In S1, leading into S2, the audience thought that Marcus and Sydney had vibes.

The audience also picks up vibes from Marcus and Luca. S2 Honeydew

What's so interesting to me about this is how an audience is so divided on one possible relationship, Sydney and Carmy.

They have the most interactions and dialogue compared to the above.

As an audience, if you can watch Chef Jess eye Richie and get a vibe, then why are Sydney and Carmy interpreted so differently, when Carmy looks at Sydney the same way.

The audience doesn't even need to think or agree they will end up together but to completely ignore their vibe? That's odd

Which is racism and misogynoir. Others have written about this as well.

Dan x Mc

Don't read if you haven't finished Duskwood yet!

But the way he crushes on MC is just so adorable. He is the one who trusts MC (and Jake) the least in the beginning of the game.

But the moment when Jessy didn't show up to their date and Dan was drunk, he went to MC. He could have talked to anyone of the group. But he chose MC. For the simple reason, that they didn't know eachother well and he thought MC won't judge. Someone is more likely to express their true feelings when drunk. Alcohol cannot make you feel or think things, but rather it lowers the person's inhibitions and judgment in social situations, which makes it more difficult for them to determine whether something is socially acceptable.

Dan probably developed a crush on MC ever since. He warns MC and tells them to be careful around Jake. Not because he dislikes Jake. He doesn't dislike anyone. He is laid back and easy going. But he doesn't want MC to get hurt because deep down he really cares for MC.

So much, that he opens up to MC by himself, and when MC even supports him and doesn't judge him for escaping the hospital or his actions when he told her about his dad, he invites MC out on a date to watch a movie. And he didn't even ask directly, because he was shy. He waited for his opportunity to invite MC. Of course he also calls them "Boo" which is a term that is used if someone adores or loves a person.

He really liked Jessy, and called her "babe", but MC gets his sweet, hidden side. Because Dan knows how it feels to be an innocent person and getting dragged into something horrible.

And I think this is very adorable. If Jake wouldn't have been my favorite romance route, it surely would have been Dan.

At the hut

MC: What's our exit strategy?

Thomas: Our what?

Dan: We're all going to die

[incorrectnessduskwood]

Darkness: Synonyms are weird because if you invite someone to your cottage in the forest, that just sounds nice and cozy. But if I invite you to my cabin in the woods you’re going to die. Jessy: My favorite is explaining the difference between a butt dial and a booty call. Richy: It’s called connotations. Dan: Try this one on for size, “Forgive me, Father, I have sinned” vs “Sorry, Daddy, I’ve been naughty." MC: Great news! Language is now banned!
